Do you like coffee?

"A man with no vices is a man with no virtues"
I enjoy coffee, and now finally pulled the trigger and splurged on some new coffee gear. I prefer filter coffee over espresso, so I went with:
- NextLevel Pulsar Brewer
- Fellow Ode Brew Grinder Gen 2
- Fellow Stagg EKG Pro Electric Kettle
- Fellow Tally Pro Scale
- Kinto Sepia Jug (love this color, already have their mugs)

And a bunch of beans:
- The naughty dog 'Ethiopia GEDEB - autumn edition'
- The naughty dog 'Ethiopia Jenny's Barrel Coffee'
- Coffea Circulor 'Yemen Almaa Anaerobic'
- DAK Coffee Roasters 'Colombia Milky Cake'

Before I didn't care much about having a nice setup at home, and would just drink some super basic coffee. Hopefully now, I dont have to go out anymore to get a delicious cup of coffee ;-)
Congrats ... Make sure to upload some pics mate ☕

@Timps27 suggested that if I like coffee that I should join you all.

I don't like coffee. I love coffee. LOL

Anyway, some thickly-accented YouTuber suggested that dropping the stem of one's well-used vape was a good way to enrich one's coffee experience, while also doing a wee-bit of clean up at the same time.

Double-win.


We are enjoying a beautiful warm Indian-summer day here in Los Angeles.

I started the day with a little new-school pressed hash mixed with a pinch of Durban poison for a little microsesh on the Vapman.

Feeling mellow.

Coffee tastes fine. Having French Press using my not-quite-50-year-old (pre-Bodum) 51 oz Chambord with Nickel plating. They don't make them like that anymore. Coffee is an artisanal Costa Rican that's not ordinarily my thing, but with the stick added, no complaints. LOL

Coffee related, a gasket kit for my old La Pavoni Europiccola (an old-school lever-driven espresso machine) just arrived so I need to do some mechanical work soon to get that baby back in action (as I blew a seal).

Greetings to my fellow coffee enthusiasts.

It’s been quiet lately. May as well show you what I’ve got.

I’ve been an espresso drinker for well over 10 years. Every machine I have owned is used. I couldn’t afford brand new but would use them, fix them up and then sell them. I got to the point where it was paying for itself. Started off with small cheaper machines, worked up to E61’s and am currently using the Cremina which I love. Just recently acquired a Monolith with little usage. It’s been great, the quietness of the motor itself is worth it, let alone the quality of the grind. You can also adjust the speed on the fly which makes it fun to experiment. Here’s a couple of pics. I know a lot about this so any questions you can PM me if you want.

Thank's to Spycar for the inspiration! avlp stem in my cup this morning, after rinsing my balls in hot coffee{ lazy mans infusion). will report back in a couple hours if it hits me or not .
My Technavorm drip pot's 10 years old now, daily, with no sign of any parts that need to be replaced despite the hard water. A well spent $300. I like simple, adhering to a scientific process on expensive machines for my morning coffee does not hold value for me even though I do love coffee.
