    Any brand pre ground 'Espresso` type coffee.

    Empty about 6 tablespoons into a large french press (don’t measure anything, just eyeball it)

    Pour over hot water and stir with a wooden stick.

    Microwave some milk in a mug

    Pour coffee into mug

    Strong, easy and nothing to faff over such as weighing beans or waiting for a $1k machine to give you 30ml of drink.

    It’s quick, dirty and damn tasty imo

    Shoot me

    Used to be a double latte or cappuccino from ol’ reliable DeLonghi Dedica, enjoyed on the porch while catching up on news.

    Now it’s instant all the way, usually drunk with desperation while trying to keep the small human from killing himself in a really dumb way.

    Straight shot of espresso to wake up and check the grind for the day. Drink immediately.

    Second shot is for the wife’s iced latte.

    Third drink is usually a cappuccino to be enjoyed and sipped on.

    Make lunch and head out the door.

    Turn on my Lelit Kate, go take a shower, weigh 24.2 grams of my locally medium roasted Arabica beans, grind with a finely tuned grind setting (to get 9 bars is pressure), comb a bit and give it around 8 careful taps to get a level fluffy basket. Tamp it hard, with the priority being to stay level. Put a steel mesh on top, drive it in, push the button and wait for 27 seconds as the 2 glasses get a significantly caffeinated and flavorful coffee. Add some whole milk and ice, and serve to me and my wife, with a Belgian waffle or croissant.

    Fresh beans from a few different local places that I like to rotate between. If it’s just me, an aeropress using 16g of coffee and 256g water, pretty standard brewing method you’ve seen a dozen times before. If me and my wife, I’ll use the chemex for the both of us.

    As far as equipment goes I have a baratza virtuoso grinder and hario gooseneck kettle that have had both for years and serve me well. I have long considered swapping to an electric kettle but it’s also easy to keep using what works.

    Have a digital scale, forgot the brand name, but I chose it specifically because it measures in 0.1 grams and I use it for things where that matters.

    1. Prepare AeroPress.
    2. Weigh 230 grams of water and pour it into an empty kettle.
    3. Weigh 12 grams of coffee beans.
    4. Put the kettle on the stove.
    5. Grind the coffee.
    6. Put the coffee grounds into the AeroPress.
    7. When the kettle boils, let the water cool down a bit, it will be around the required temperature.
    8. Brew the coffee using the Hoffman’s recipe (12 grams of coffee, 200 grams of water).
    9. Wait 10 minutes to get right coffee temperature.

    It takes 8 minutes to make coffee and 10 minutes to cool it down to circa 50 degrees celsius.

        I heard coffee is less effective if taken immediately after waiking up. That’s why I wait for one and a half hour before drinking coffee.

    Press button on the grinder, fill the water tank of my Moccamaster with 8 cups, fill in the freshly ground coffee, push the button. Five minutes later wonderful hot coffee.

    I really enjoy the ritual of espresso as a little morning meditation.
    Here’s the current station, and the current process goes:

    Turn on Bambino, load portafilter with empty “double” single wall basket into machine.

    Place a small glass on the scale, turn on, spoon in 16g of whatever coffee I have that week.

    Start an empty single auto-shot into the glass I’m going to brew into to heat everything up.

    Dump measured beans into SK40 grinder which will typically be about “6” on its scale for good fresh coffee, or 5 for not quite so fresh coffee, and start it.

    Remove, drain, and wipe portafilter, set it in the little 3D printed base I ran off to hold it level (not my design). Drop the dosing ring on. Set glass of usually dirty with fines hot water aside.

    Pump the grinder bellows 3 times when it sounds empty, then turn off.

    Dump grounds into basket, massage briefly with a cheap little WDT tool and tamp.

    Dump glass into a waste cup I keep on hand for the purpose, wipe, and place on scale. Place scale on drip tray, and re-tare.

    If I’ve dialed the coffee: Hold single button for ~5s of preeinfusion, release, and tap again aiming for a ~32g shot.

    If I’m still working on the coffee: Get out my phone, hold single button, start timer on phone when the preeinfusion pump kicks in, tap lap and release button at ~5s, watch timer and scale aiming for vicinity of 32g/30s. Grunt and adjust the grinder in the appropriate direction if it’s not close.

    Stir espresso, taste, add a little milk while I make my breakfast food if needed.

    Consume espresso and breakfast.

    Come back to to put away the glass, dump the puck (no 3-way valve, it’ll sneeze at you if you don’t wait a second), and rinse the portafilter. Place it upside down on the base to dry.

    The setup is a recent upgrade so I’m still pretty pleased and working on refining my technique. I’ve been trying different beans (mostly espresso blends from local roasters, but also some weird stuff just for fun).

    Whatever whole bean is for sale at the store. Groung coarsely. Put in the French press with room temperature, filtered water. Drank about 18 hours later.

    Sometimes I’ll sub in better beans from a local coffee shop.

    Really, hot coffee can bother my gums so that’s why I drink cold brew at home.

    Ratio Six prepared with water (to the 4 cups mark) and ground coffee (35 g) before going to be on the eve. Wake up, press the button, and get delicious coffee in ~6 minutes.

    Light roast beans, ground fresh with a Timemore manual grinder, then brewed with an Aeropress using Hoffman’s recipe.

    Nothing I really want to change, this is pretty great. Although I’ve been eyeing the Flair manual espresso makers.

      I love my Flair, but the problem with it it that you often need coffee before making coffee…

    12g of Lavazza, medium-fine grind, into Aeropress with about 2/3 full of boiling water, stir and leave for a little bit before pressing (so kinda part way between Adler’s recipe and Hoffmann’s recipe) then mix up to taste
