WAKE UP AND COFFEE

@Max Power that's nice! i also recommend getting a good electric grinder. the breville smart grinder is quite worth the price. it's not too expensive and does the work a commercial grinder can.
i've been looking at the rancilio silva and the breville double boiler before going with the breville last year during boxing day sales. going to a double boiler from a single thermoblock was the best thing ever. what's the ratio you're going on now?
-
@Max Power How is your expensive coffee hobby going?
-
@twin
I'm still working on all the ratios etc. SO far I'm satisfied with what I can produce and would not complain about it in a "normal" coffee shop. I think however there's a lot of room for improvement, but that's what's fascinating me. -
my spro set up.. breville double boiler with breville smart grinder..

Dialed in Japanese pourover for these great Kenyan beans on the Kalita Wave. I love cold brew but the Toddy is a pain in my ass and I do miss some of the brightness that heat extracts from the coffee.

Anyone else here swear by an aeropress? Constantly blind test beats £1000 machines. Get your grind, weight, and water temp right and the coffee is incredible…
-
^ sure but that's for filtered coffee not an espresso. even a moccamaster for batch brew wouldn't cost anywhere near 1000quid. even with a set up of v90 would still fall far from that figure.. the good thing about aeropress is it's ability to be taken almost everywhere with you..

I bought a Wacaco nanopresso on our recent weekend in Brighton. Made my first espresso with it this morning. Need to experiment with hand grind of the beans, water temp, and tamping, good first result though, pretty good crema . Costs £59.95

Yeah love it. My favorite way to make coffee… although I like Chemex as well

Interesting. Looking forward to hear more about your experiences.

@Chap first few espresso brewed and I can't speak highly enough of the Nanopresso. It's a really quick process, the coffee grind compartment if filled and tamped by the time the kettle is boiled.
I made my brother-in-law a flat white with it today, and he was amazed. He owns a Nespresso (never tried one myself), but he says this coffee far exceeded it, and he ordered one there and then. It's easy to use, clean, and assemble. Definite bargain.

Would you ever consider trying iced pour over? For me it’s the best of both worlds,as less hot water passes over the grounds I find it to be a little less acidic,and you’re still able to preserve your water to coffee ratio. There’s quite a few YouTube videos.
Hah. That's all I do these days @Jett129 ! I agree. I fill the kalita with ice and have all my ratios dialed.

I’m gonna need a few of these!
