full automatic Seico Espresso machine for coffee/late with a seperate milk frother. (it's digusting if it's in the machine itself)
And a Dripr cold brew with a dripfilter and water reservoir for cold brews
Still have to experience more ways to brew, French press I remember from being little but haven't done it since.
Great idea! I use a La Pavoni Europiccola (lever espresso machine) when I have time, Bialetti Moka pot or pour over when I don't.
I've wanted a Europiccola for so long but I've currently had a Cafelat Robot for the last year and a half. Did you get a new one or vintage?
Ours is vintage, got super lucky and found it at Goodwill. It's a pre-millenium model from about 1980. A little descaler and new gaskets, and it works great.
I wish it had a bigger portafilter, but it's really not a big deal for us.
I love my bialetti brikka
I like my Chemex. Saving up to buy a used Gaggia classic
A lovely red Technivorm Moccamaster. One with a glass carafe.
Every morning is a pour over. V60 or chemex depending on how many cups I'm making.
I’ve been doing a kind of play it by ear, 4:6 method. I use a scale and timer but kind of listen to the flow? I’ve been thinking about how pour overs can be like espresso, where I flow profile, and so I want to have the highest flow on the first pour after wetting. Sometimes I wet the ground twice. No swirling. Idk what I’m doing really.
Ain't that the fun tho? The experimentation? It's what I love about it.
AeroPress for its versatility. I also rarely use moka pot for home lattes, it's good but not as much controllable.
Drip with local coffee, V60 with more western-style coffee.
What's the difference with flat bottoms?
Just an old school Bonavita with Melitta style filters. I can't appreciate the added subtleties of pre-infusion or even pour-over over a good drip.
Back when I did cold brew, I just used a French Press, which works pretty well.
Usually it's a Bialetti moka pot if I want strong coffee. But I alternate with V60/Origami and Aeropress.
Pour over, single cup Melitta ceramic cone. I use an Aeropress on travel.
I go through phases, but lately I've been mostly using a Hario Cafeor. It's basically a stainless mesh v60, and it produces incredible coffee once you get used to its idiosyncrasies. Anyone who prefers metal filters over paper should give it a try.
I definitely wanna buy some metal filters for v60. I love the full body you get with French press, and it's not really replicable elsewhere.
I'm also using a Fellow Stagg XF! It's super quick and convenient. It replaced an aeropress for me.
Wife gave me a Hario Siphon but it was too much effort to clean. I whip it out for guests, still though.
I'm personally less of a fan of espresso, so saving some money by not having a fancy machine
I'm running suuuuuper low on my Stagg filters and v60 filters, so probably going to be going back to my chemex for the next couple of weeks.
But Stagg has definitely been some fun.
I've been mostly doing V60 for the last 6 months or so and the Stagg XF when I'm not. My next purchase is probably a Clever, but I'm not sure. Otherwise, I've got a Phin for making Vietnamese style coffee, an Aeropress I use from time to time, of course the Chemex and press pot when I want 1 liter of coffee at a time, and a cold brewer that I haven't used for probably a year or so.
I don't use my Flair brewer nearly as much as I expected, which is too bad. I like it, it's just a bit of a routine to get it set up, heated, and brew an espresso.
I have a variety of brewers but my current favourite is my gaggia classic espresso machine. I much prefer espresso to any kind of filter brew
Bialetti brikka (4cup) 21g. of coffee 2g. Of Oolong tea leaves grinding together 200 ml. Hot water lowest flame on gas stove some whiskey 😋
I've got a Kalita that I use nearly every morning. While I have fun trying new being methods, I do a lot better with consistency with pour over.
