MOD ALERT: High risk of thread derail here!

@motojobobo It’s the wake up and coffee thread…nothing functions properly until you finish your first cup and sometimes second before starting the day.

[goosehd]

@motojobobo …and because I’m still working on my first cup of coffee, derailments and drifting are kind of anticipated in this thread.

I had a fun hour at the San Remo coffee machine showroom in London last week.

The YOU home machine is pretty impressive with its pressure profiling capabilities. Expensive but when compared to other machines it seems to offer a lot more features.

New Dark Arts mug

@jerkules you think this will increase your powers ready for 4pm today/September/FW24?

[jerkules]

@ARNC I wish - unfortunately for me the sale will pass me by - recently moved house (see boxes in photo above) so there's not much ready cash at my disposal

[ARNC]

@jerkules fair enough (and congratulations on the move)!

[jerkules]

@ARNC thanks man… new house is fun and all, but missing the annual IH sale as a result makes me think we should’ve stayed put

[ARNC]

@jerkules if IH made XHS tents …

I have foregone the muffin - need to shed a few kilos!

Sunset / Sunshine

@ROman It is Sunshine Cafe

New toy! First attempt ok but I’ll need a bit more practice to get it perfect. Anyone else with one of these?

[ARNC]

Today’s lesson is making sure the burner’s got enough fuel in it before starting brewing. Got premature draw down and severe under extraction!

Still learning so syphon tips and tricks appreciated.

Wow. What a great bean. I did a Kalita pour over yesterday and iced it, and using my Ratio brewer and pouring over ice didn’t lose much, so it is more than functional as a morning coffee for the wife and me.
