·Nespresso pods have been on order for 5 days, down to last 2 which I am saving for the lady.
Always gotta have a back-up stash hiding in the freezer.

·The hipsters didn’t invent “pour over”. Us hard core coffee lovers all have one of these hiding in the cupboards.

·There seems to me to be a lot of passionate, creative, obsessive.. . 😁 people on here, about lots of different things. It also occurs to me that all of you like to do things well, in the words of my late Father, "if you're going to do something do it right or don't do it at all". Not a bad maxim to follow.
And so to coffee😗, I confess I'm a coffeeaholic, and I try do it right, or what I see as right anyway, a teaspoon of instant and a splash of boiling water just isn't involved enough for me.
So fellow coffee lovers show me your set up, your preferred brew method, bean type, etc.
Mine, bezzeraa Bz10 and Eureka Mignon Silenzio😀
Current favorite beans are the Bean Shop in Perth (Scotland) Espresso blend, I like a traditional Italian style dark roast.
Drink wise, I'm a flat white / latte guy in the mornings then a quick double shot early afternoon.
Hope this is appropriate and not a duplicate thread, I did do a quick search and didn't see any. Look forward to seeing your brew👍

I am also a coffeeaholic and enjoy a good flat white. I am somewhat caffeine sensitive so I cannot enjoy it as much as I like. I dont have a picture of my setup at home on my phone so I'll have to take that later but its a sub 1k breville that surprisingly does a decent job.

·Hey
I just discover this thread today. I'm a coffee nerd too. I have the old oscar machine that I currently pimp up. I'm installing an OVP, PID and a manometer. I have installed last week a pro shower screen and filtler + bottomless
portafiter.
My first shot with the new accessories. I put some all over the cup because my cup was not high enough.
😉

My work battle station and emergency stash for when I forget to bring the good stuff from home. For me, an Aeropress is the right combination of tasty, hands off, and easy to clean.

·I like a coffee in the . Bought some Blue Mountain this week. I am sure I read somewhere that it's what James Bond drank. It's pretty smooth anyhow.

·The blue mountain is a very good coffee. Not my prefered one but it's just a matter of taste, like wine I would say.

·Hi. I'm a coffee nerd too.
My interest in making decent coffee co-incided with a fascination with watches, which all began about 2-3 years ago.
Proper coffee-making and vintage watch collecting have many parallels: attention to detail, accurate timing, obsession over minor aspects which all together contribute to the quality of the end product.
I've a Gaggia Classic. It was a wedding present 15 years ago. Like a vintage watch, you can replace bits and repair the GC, some people even mod them. Unlike a vintage watch, repairs on the GC are easy (YouTube). I'm no mechanic, but I've replaced the pump, the thermostats, the seals, the steam valve, stripped it down, cleaned it out, replaced all the screws (they can leak and then rust). I have thought about upgrading the machine, but there's sentimental value in this old machine...in watch terms it's a keeper!
The Eureka range of grinders are absolutely awesome, producing fluffy, fine grounds. I read somewhere that you should spend as much on a grinder as the espresso machine. It has been a quantum leap in coffee making.
The coffee, Pilgrim's Coffee, comes from Holy Island in Northumberland...run by a pal of mine and in the early days roasted coffee in a yurt...but has since moved into premises and now runs an amazing coffee shop.
Obligatory watch photo!

A few years ago I bid, unsuccessfully, a few times on a Gaggia Cubika. I was attracted by the style and the fact its a bona fide classic. My interest eventually waned but I don't know..it might be coming back.

Yes, second hand coffee machine prices went kind of crazy during the lockdowns last year. I'm not sure if they've corrected yet, or not. But you should take another look!

As for the Eureka, can't fault it after a year it great grind consistency and it's sooo quiet.
