WAKE UP AND COFFEE

Coffee and Snow
Love these Illy art collection pieces. This one is designed by Stefan Sagmeister.

I'm enjoying a Mocha Java this morning. 85% Yemen 15% Java. I own and operate a very small roasting business. I bought an Aillio Bullet roaster a few years ago and I've been having a blast with it. I have over 2000 roasts on it now and it's hard for me to drink coffee from anyone else now. Fresh coffee makes all the difference...cheers.

This picture sure ain't the belle of the ball, but I got an email for a sale JBC was having last week and couldn't resist trying this one. Natural process Burundi with notes of "Mixed Berry, Nerds Candy, Melon." It's definitely tart, gonna try Chemex tomorrow — need more Nerds.

That mug is a great gift @popvulture
Also love your black Comandante. I love my OG wooden MK3 but that black is beautiful!
Let’s see how it goes with the New Year’s resolution of reading more books. Starting with Harari.

@weftyarn ah yeah the wood ones are so cool! I just got black basically because it was the cheapest
. Plus I just want everything in black.Those things are so badass, though — I just got mine recently and am still marveling at how well it works.
-
Oh yeah, there’s still a few examples of good German Engineering. This is definitely one of them
Have my Comandante for 4 years now as my daily driver and it’s still good as new

@weftyarn on that note, do you do anything special to clean yours? I just brush mine out on the bottom a little after each use, nothing fussy. Wondering if I should be doing anything more.
Re: the coffee I posted yesterday, tried a Chemex just now and I think I like it a little better. I think that also could be because I haven't dialed in my Kalitta Wave method at all. Funnily enough I came across a review of a bunch of Chemex techniques a few years ago, and the favorite (now also mine) was just steadily pouring all of the water in at once and letting it go through in one big infusion. For whatever reason it ends up being the smoothest / juiciest. So easy, but I'll be damned if it isn't the best I've found.
Still no Nerds today, lol. I think clearly one of those (common, really) instances where the taster got a little too creative

Nothing special really. Only about twice a year I open it up completely to take the burrs out and clean them with a brush. That’s it basically.
yes exactly. He’s got a lot going on in there! My grandfather was like that. He taught me to weld a bit when I was a kid. Farmers had to be pretty self sufficient. I love the idea of tinkering but don’t have the gift.
