          Nice grinder for sure, @Paul9221 . I've been really tempted to get one of those reasonable-but-good Rancilio espresso machines.

            I can't speak to their espresso machines but that grinder is a beast!  I love tough, heavy things 🙂

                                There probably is a Hall of Fades somewhere…

                                      1st coffee of the day is now made with the Clever Dripper pour over. It let's you steep your coffee before drawdown. If your only used to a V60 pour over, get own, they are great. With the right beans and grind, the coffee it brews is delicious. They cost about £28 so I reckon £ for £ it's the best way to make coffee out there.

                                      2nd coffee of the day is always an espresso based milk drink made with my Sage Bambino. Since working from home I've become obsessed with refining recipes, exploring roasters, and the region/altitude the coffee is grown at. Its not healthy.

                                        I agree that the Clever Coffee Dripper makes great coffee and it has won some blind taste tests. I don't use mine that much as it's not practical as I'm usually making coffee for my wife and myself. How long do you steep for and what are you using for a filter?

                                          @Jett129 I make coffee for my wife and I using the one pictured. I use 25g of coffee, 450g boiling water (40g to bloom, then poor on the remaining 420g). That gives us a decent 250g coffee each. I wouldn't want more than that as I also have a couple of double espresso drink in any given day, and any more caffeine would send me bonkers  😛

                                          Depending on the beans I'm using I brew for a total of 3 mins for a lighter roast and 2.40 for a darker roast. It takes a sz4 filter paper - I use unbleached filter papers. I've not ventured into the world of cloth, feels a bit too high maintenance for me.

                                            Both my wife and I drink 16OZ mugs of coffee every morning just to wake up and,I’ll have one more later in the day. I,mostly, use my Chemex coffee maker. I’ve been doing it for so long that I’ve gotten pretty good at knowing how much coffee to use,so I don’t weigh it although I probably should. I use a Bonavita variable gooseneck kettle which allows me to set the temperature I want and maintains it through the brewing process. I tend to prefer the darker roasts,and I’m always looking it try new roasters. Speaking of which,my brother in law has taken his coffee fanaticism
                                            to a new level as he is now roasting his own beans. He made me a batch recently. Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. Thanks for all the info. One other thing…Lately I’ve been reading that bleached filters,as long as they’re not chlorine bleached are better than their unbleached counterparts.
