        Damn. Don’t know what’s nicer, the glass or the bike.

        Use it or lose it.

          Thanks @weftyarn the bike is my holy grail and the glass is from notneutral. I have their cappuccino and cortado glasses, 2 of each, and they really class up the top of my espresso machine.

                              I wish it weren’t so oppressively hit here so I could wear my bibs. 🥵 Not too hot for ☕️ though.

                                  Some great set ups on this thread.

                                  I work away from home and coffee with your colleagues is one of the highlights of the day. The rig has slowly become more coffee-centric as the international crew have brought beans from all over the globe for everyone to try. I have brought a selection of beans from my local roasters in Birmingham, England.

                                  We have standard bean to cup machine for ultimate ease of use. Temperature controlled kettle, Picopresso, Imons milk frother, scales, 2 x Aeropress, a Wilfa electric grinder, Timemore hand grinder, and a Mokka pot.

                                  The trick with the bean to cup machine is the beans, big difference between standard (rubbish) Lavazza beans and some better quality stuff. The aeropress gets a lot of use.

                                  We are currently scouring the local for sale ads looking for a cheap workshorse espresso machine. The good news is that it looks like a lot of the locals buy quite fancy set ups but don't really know how to use them so they get sold on pretty quickly.

                                  @QuantumMechanic What a lovely espresso machine you have. The decent is on the wish list one of one of my colleagues, he already has a Lelit Bianca but is seriously looking at the Decent for the flavour profiling it offers.

                                    @ddtrash how do you find the Wilfa? I like grinding by hand (I feel I’ve earned my coffee that way) but I sometimes wonder if going electric would make life easier. My usual coffee dealer sells a couple of models including the Svart (looks like that’s what you have), so it’s already lurking in my head as an option.

                                      Hideout Coffee had these River Coffee Roasters coffin cold brew bottles yesterday with a wax dipped top. Tastes great, like long nights in eternity.

                                        @ARNC It is indeed a Wilfa Svart grinder.

                                        Great budget machine for coarser grinds for French press, aeropress etc but struggles to grind fine enough for espresso. We use the Timemore small hand grinder which is better dialed for a finer grind.

                                        If fine grind for Espresso is your thing then I would suggest you look elsewhere.

                                          @ddtrash thanks - really helpful. I don’t necessarily need a very fine grind as I don’t do espresso at home. At the moment it’s either French press or Walküre, but at some point I’ll probably get a siphon too.

                                            Baratza is a decent grinder you will have to spend $$ to get a better grinder

                                            Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                                            Well, I have others.
