Loving your backsplash!

I concur.  That is a lovely bit of backsplash.

@Anesthetist:

My MiL surprised me with a nice burr grinder for an early Christmas gift. Just made my first cup of Aeropress and it’s great [emoji108]

Nice gift! I have the same one, and a few years in it has been an absolute joy.

Just had a pourover of this wonderful Ethiopean coffee at one of my favorite local roasters–highly, highly recommended.

This will be a new exciting and probably expensive hobby, as I know me

[louisbosco]

single or double boiler?

[FOXY]

looks like a BZ10 - should be double…

Manufactum in Germany has them in their program.

let us know how things progress!

[Max Power]

@louisbosco double. And @FOXY is right, it's Bezzera BZ10. The first results were already good, but there's a lot room for improvement. Need a mill soon and then I can finally benefit from three great roasters that are located within 5 minutes from home.

[FOXY]

sounds like a trap!

I've been looking at the BZ10 as well, but I fear the power consumption is not suitable for taking it to Scotland - I'll keep looking

[louisbosco]

@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?

[twin]

@Max Power  How is your expensive coffee hobby going?

[twin]

WAKE UP and coffee in Mill Run PA.

[Max Power]

@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.
