WAKE UP AND COFFEE

[1981FXe]

Got pretty heavily into home espresso about 10 years ago with a more modest setup. We left the city and missed the good coffee so I upgraded a little while back. Refurbed an ex-commercial Super Jolly also which feels like it’ll last forever.

Pretty simple workflow, no single-dosing or bean freezing or WDT and we tend to favour med-dark South American roasts.

Nice equipment^

Beautiful setup, and lovely photography!

Thanks.

Cut my teeth on a Gaggia Classic, Rancilio Silvia and a Bianca before it and the LM is an absolute treat to own and use.

Thrift store find (0.25€). They do make the best cookies so...

today it's tea (earl grey), and a great view out in the fields at our cottage, my youngest watching deer and squirrels with binoculars
what a beautiful, quiet morning ️

Don't shame me but my favorite coffee is Folgers black silk, cheap and delicious!

There’s a place in my heart for grocery store coffee. Feel no shame friend. This is a safe space.

My trusty Quickmill QM67 and Niche grinder. Using Caffe Lusso Gran Miscela Carmo beans for the last 2 years… and probably will continue to, until they stop making it. Cortados and Capps most mornings, and an occasional afternoon double shot. Cheers!!

Morning cappuccino in a earthenware mug from Japan. I’m pretty sure it’s not handmade, but made to look like it….
Attaching some picture of the kanji script… anyone here read Kanji and might be able to interpret?

[Autorotate]

I should add that I bought this mug in 2009 at a Japanese home goods department store. A step above Target… but a step below Williams Sonoma… if that makes sense.

Can’t help you figure out the Kanji, but what a beautiful mug that is @Autorotate

Americano for me today:

Handmade Japanese tea mug repurposed for my morning cappuccino. Have a great day, y’all!!

Nasty weather day here. Listening to OMD “Dazzle Ships” on repeat and getting some stuff done. Wife and kid are out of state, so it’s just me and Rocco. Probably gonna light a fire and watch a good movie.

[Matt]

What’s up dog!?!?

[Autorotate]

@Matt Rocco is Mr Bad Attitude. That’s why we love him. He’s a 180LB mastiff in a 30LB Boston’s body. Could car less about chasing squirrels or protecting the house. He just sneers at strangers and that usually keep the distance. He refuses to snuggle, even with his mom, and he’s generally indifferent to the 3-year old boy. 9 years old this summer. I guess we’ll keep him.

[Matt]

He’s all personality. Let the old man be. That’s what I hope they say about me.

[motojobobo]

Play OMD’s Souvenir for Rocco, that will surely improve his mood!

[Autorotate]

@motojobobo good call! The mood improved!

I threw out all my alcohol related glasses thus clearing space for some new ceramics... 28cls for tea (normally latte coffee but I don't drink that) and 18cls for coffee.
