Was wondering what people’s coffee setups are.
I’ll start. I mainly drink espresso and piccolo’s. But also have several Moka pots that only get used once every few months since getting the BDB.
- Breville Dual Boiler
- Kingrinder K4
Nothing at all. Caffeine doesn’t make me less sleepy. It just makes me anxious and tired. And I have to piss and shit more when I drink the stuff.
If I need a pick-me-up, I’ll pop an adderall. Energy without anxiety.
A Breville BarAroma BCG450, which I modified to grind slightly finer. It doesn’t grind fine enough for espresso, but for pour over and aeropress it’s great value. I’ve had it for almost 15 years now.
Aeropress is my daily driver, it’s consistent and simple. Exactly what I need to get me through the day.
I have a V60, usually for the weekend or for testing new beans. I don’t use it every day, just because it’s a little more involved than the aeropress.
And a small bialetti moka, just for something different.
I need to get myself a milk frother for guests, but my budget set up works great for me.
- aeropress
- cheap electric burr grinder
- electric kettle
I’ve got a Chemex, Mokapot, and French Press. I find that I can’t enjoy the Mokapot and generally the French press and Chemex don’t add more flavor to my very simple beans. I occasionally break them out if I get some very fancy beans, though.
