How do you people brew the cup of coffee you need before you are awake enough to operate this complicated machinery 😕
I start with a six ounce glass of Grapefruit juice. Otherwise, I agree.
Ha, no but interesting idea...
It’s a half-yard, a pretty big glass for beer... the other “morning brew”!
A 1970s Olympia Cremina lever machine, usually fresh beans from my local coffee shop, but I am using Pact Coffee for regular freshly roasted beans delivered to my door while we are in lockdown. A strong flat white is my preferred style.

@Ashi85 @simomega I also use the Aero Press. What recipes do you use?
Mine is ~18 oz of medium roast beans, ground medium fine. 197 degree water. Inverted method, so I let the grounds steep for about a minute before inverting and pressing. Delicious! Everyone thinks it looks complicated but I have a cup in about 8 minutes, with most of that waiting for the water to heat.

I don't weigh but i use one heaping black spoon of whole beans, grind it to med-fine. I do 175 deg and think that's what Aeropress calls for. I poor water in, let plume for 2 seconds, mix for 10 seconds, then press for 20 seconds, though Aeropress calls for a slower press of 30-60 seconds I believe, which I am too impatient for and also find it hard to find a consistent slow tension that would have a 60 sec. duration. I switch between paper filters and the stainless steel filter you can find on amazon. The stainless steel lets in a bit more flavor but also a bit more bitterness/robustness - more like french press. The paper filter is a cleaner taste.
