Coffee

Currently enjoying the comfort and familiarity of where my coffee journey really started: Ethiopian natural ground in 1zpresso K-Max and brewed with Hoffman’s Ultimate v60 Technique in a clear plastic v60.

Just using my aeropress at home. I do also have a Clever dripper that I use now and again, but I just feel the aeropress is more convenient for me.
I am in the market for a coffee machine, just need to work out where the hell I can put it in my kitchen

I use a modified rancilio silvia. It has a PID with the boiler set at 216°F. I also have it moded for pre-infusion. I do a 10 second pre-infusion and a shot time of ~27 seconds. 20 grams in 40 grams out. There is an awesome local roaster, light house roasters, they have a variety of beans to choose from. I'm still learning and chasing that perfect shot.

I've really been enjoying my Bialetti brikka pot. It turns out that the trick with that pot is that you shouldn't fill up the water reservoir all the way up to the valve, because then it overheats easily.

I want to move some days from v60 to something easier….. so my wife could make coffee for me once in a while lol. Apart from a machine or a French press… what good and easy?

Grind each morning (currently on an Ethiopian kick), then through a BUNN drip. It's not as good as those special one-off coffees, but I've found its the best balance of energy vs. enjoyment
