This has revolutionized my life. I now have a cafe in my home. I laugh in the face of local java merchants. A note: must be paired with a good grinder such as the Baratza Encore.
Getting coffee out every day is expensive and using a cheap shitty grinder at home gives a sub-par cup of joe. Recently threw down on one of these bad boys and now I can dial in my home grinds so that my morning cups are just as good as the pros. Also great because it’s a sustainable product supported with replacement parts and won’t just end up in a landfill when it stops working right!
After years of using an electric grinder (baratza Encore) I’ve switched to a hand grinder due to space limitations. The hand grinder proves to be so much cleaner in addition to taking up much less space. And it’s not super taxing to actually grind the beans.
not real "espresso" but a tiny strong cup of coffee that makes making coffee fun. i got it for christmas from my girlfriends sister and it was easily my favorite gift. not only is it super cute but just feels rewarding. i usually use a chemex ( which i won't stop using probably hahah) but this is a little vacation from that.
I’ve been trying to just look around the room more in an effort to be on my phone less. Try it! It can be quite psychedelic and is akin to reading and/or prayer.
