We keep it simple …..

This every day, or almost every day. Beans ground daily. Black bag goes into moka pot, red bag goes into AeroPress.

Just upgraded coffee machines. Seems since my last post have also upgraded my grinder. So now have Eureka Mignon Oro XL grinder which I have had for a while. Just picked up a second hand Profitec Pro 700 only a couple years old for about half price if a new one. Should be a end game machine. Dual stainless boilers independently PID controlled with rotary pump.

I'd microwave the milk and use one of those hand frothers to froth the milk up.

My brand-new Bialetti 6-cup moka pot (tricolore) arrived two hours ago. I washed it, ran two water-only loads through it, then one with ground coffee (30g of leftover, months-old, Eight O'Clock 100% Colombian Peaks). I know... you're supposed to toss the first batch; but how could I? So, with cream and sweetener, it was just delicious... and it'll get better. All together, it fills my Bob's Red Mill mug to 1/4" from the top. As Humphrey Bogart said, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

PS: The regular price is $59.95, but I bought it from Amazon Warehouse for $32.75 (marked "Acceptable", but it's *perfect*).

I wish Geezer were still with us and living 15 miles from me.
Maybe I could have learned something from him about making coffee.

When you get to this point it becomes a hobby and there is no end game.

I have a profitec 600 and a Eureka Atom and I say the same thing Har Har.
