WAKE UP AND COFFEE

[ARNC]

Just playing around while contemplating how much coffee I need to ease me back into the real world.

@long_john86 Nice! I like the architectural mug too.

Catching some UVA this morning with the tittie mug

[long_john86]

@Mister_Brue Cheers yeah it’s cool, part of a set

[long_john86]

@Brock Everyone needs at least one tittie mug in their life right?

[Brock]

@long_john86

Most certainly!

[long_john86]

First and most certainly not the last of the day!

The twins coffee today with a little sunshine.

[long_john86]

One to go!

@twin

So cool! You must be able to share outfits all the time!

[Mister_Brue]

@twin This one of you two just makes me smile (and want a coffee).

[Mister_Brue]

@long_john86 A good reminder to get my Aeropress out. V60 seems to win every time for pure quantity (not to the detriment of quality of course). ‍

[long_john86]

@Mister_Brue Ah yes, quantity is a must! I find myself brewing/double brewing a lot with this. Never tried the V60 - any particular product/approach you would recommend?

[twin]

@RobeOfTheMagi Only if I can get him to wear Iron Heart more often.

@Mister_Brue We have coffee almost every day. Love going out for breakfast.

[Mister_Brue]

@long_john86 We have a Hario Ceramic V60 dripper (size 02), and a Hario V60 Glass Coffee Server (the Michelin Man looking one) size 02.

Scales are a must. We have Acaia Pearl scales, but Hario also do their own.

A gooseneck kettle is also super handy, if not quite a prerequisite. We used to have the Hario one, until someone accidentally placed it on a hot hob and melted it. We now have a Dualit one.

I always make a 510g coffee, alone or to share. This is with 30g of ground beans (x17). We used to time the pour for extraction, but now I just tend to pour at a steady rate. My wife will make a smaller one just for her (10g of beans/170g sized coffee).

Lots of recipes/techniques on YouTube to geek out on if you need other ideas. Great way to make coffee though… ️

On my last holiday in Italy, we had gas stoves and every bungalow had a Bialetti... I fell in love with it there and then... It's pure and simple...
It's a step up from the Nespresso crap at least... Will start grinding my own beans soon btw...

Probably my last brew with this bag. One of my favorites of the year from Black & White coffee. Their birthday 2024 blend. Always a treat.

Dreary morning Americano….RIP Phil!
