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
I have a Rocket Giotto and has been going strong for the past 15 years. I had the panels powder coated matt black when I did a routine service about 3 years ago.
Paired with a Kafatek Monolith Flat coffee grinder. Incredible hand crafted machine.
I mainly drink lattes and espresso.
Oh nice! A little jealous of the end game set up, if there is such a thing.
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.
- Breville Dual Boiler
- Mazzer Mini grinder
I’ve had it for about 3 years now, and really like it. It’s more manual than other Brevilles, which is what I wanted, so I find that means I can make better coffee that those other machines - especially the milk. Highly recommend.
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.
Bamboo Plus and Smart Grinder, does the job. My starter setup but would like to eventually upgrade to the dual boiler and a better grinder.
Nice. That’s a good combo. I’m looking forward to getting an electric grinder. The hand grinder is going well, but would love something a little quicker and easier haha.
