During the week a drip coffee maker suffices for my morning cup on the weekends it's my French press or moka pot. I prefer using Dunkin Donuts beans, though I have a friend who's dad is going to open a coffee shop for his retirement job and they roast their own beans and she'll sometimes send a pound or two my way. I'll also buy myself a pound of Kona or a pound of Jamaican Blue Mountain for my birthday.
What grind sizes do you recommend?
Turkish, all the way for me.
My daily grind is Bustelo. Makes Great Cuban cafe con leches.
I bought a Breville Barista Express yesterday afternoon and watched several Youtube videos last night. This morning I am WIDE AWAKE as I dial in dose and grind. I think I'm getting there.
edit (gotta have a pic)
somebody really needs to clean that window.
At $1 per pod, I may have to take out a second mortgage.
In 2012 one of my friends gave me her parents' long-disused percolator and I was smitten upon the first sip. I'm on my 3rd or 4th example now thanks to the thermostats giving out. I like strong, hot coffee and this fits the bill perfectly. A few months ago I dug out my Braun drip maker that I enjoyed for years for a comparison, and its product was like weak dishwater. For beans I use a medium roast from my local roaster that I enjoy quite a bit and buy in bulk, and I grind them fresh each morning in a Cuisinart burr grinder.
