Coffee

This is my espresso machine. My grandfather bought it 1977 in Italy and used it four times in 30 years. He gave it to my wife and I for a wedding gift. I use it all the time.

Turns out we have a roaster nearby that's pretty good.  I really like this one up in Duluth, but that's several hours away.  Going to visit these folks and grab this for the AeroPress:

Of course, I'm as happy to ship/exchange coffees as I am beer with any interested parties.

I bought an alumin(i)um espresso pot, and some fancy Italian espresso coffee, can I play?

(I know diddly about coffee, but I like to take a passing interest in everything Jeffs into  )

Arrived on Thursday. Roasted 4 days ago and had my first cup of this morning. Man oh man, it's like a great hummer. That good.

Floral true to a Panama Geisha. Honey wash is a new/rare one for me, that has just taken it somewhere special.

[seawolf]

Either you're getting crappy hummers, or that's a really good cup of coffee.

Either you're getting crappy hummers, or that's a really good cup of coffee.

Option C: not enjoying giving hummers as much as drinking this coffee

@seawolf:

that's a really good cup of coffee.

Yes, yes it was. Probably 4-5 coffees are year get me like that.

@ wade and ben:

thanks a shitload for all the great info a page back guys…sry it took so long for me to reply. the help is really appreciated, so I hope you guys know this!
moving into the new crib atm. so I don't have that much time to answer right away...so as soon as I'm done with getting in the things needed, I'm taking another look into this topic, cuz good coffe is what starts your day...so thanks a ton again!

btw. how long does it take to make a cup or two with the V60 or aeropress?
simple, fast but brilliant tasting coffee is what I'm after

I'm keen! Give me a few weeks for things to settle down during the week and fo' sure

Finn,
v60 ~5 minutes from start to end. About 2 minutes of active pouring/work
aeropress ~1.5 minutes from start to end. About 1 minute of active work

Aeropress is essential for a travelers kit and if you plan on creating one cup at a time. However  IF you're brewing for multiple parties, a v60 with a decanter or a chemex shall do the job.

[Finn666]

thx guys…sounds like V60 is the way to go!

[llvlaglne]

Not sure of you like the look of the decanter but the v60 fits inside of it similar to a chemex

I decant into http://prima-coffee.com/hario/range-server#.UiHM92TVdfI (as you know ;)).

Finn in terms of speed for making coffee, I usually make breakfast whilst making my first pot. I alternate between the two and have breakfast made just as the coffee's ready to serve.

[Finn666]

sounds like a plan

gonna see if I can buy everything I the local stores…would be nice!

[demonito]

i just do v60 10 gram to 100gram of water. what do you guys think of this?

snowy can i buy some of those?
