If we started doing #CoffeeStation on Lemmy, then we’ve arrived.
Oh god, that is beautiful
Nice!
You can’t look at this and tell me that coffee isn’t a drug. Lol. My stoner buddy has a set up just like this…except, bongs, vaporizers, several grinders, several jars of resin, a dab rig, and a ceramic knife laid out in similar, almost reverent positioning.
All jokes aside, it’s a beautiful setup. I’m jealous. We just do a French Press and that’s good enough for me at the moment.
So true! It all started with a $30 hand grinder and a Chemex, and it has grown to this. Luckily, the espresso machine seemed to finally scratch the itch and I haven’t felt a need to get anything new or upgrade anything since then. Between coffee, photography, and custom keyboards, I have enough expensive hobbies.
Well now you need to show the keyboards
Is the fellows kettle worth it?
We have a 5 piece vacuum storage set, a few of their mugs, and I’m always half in half out on. $200 kettle
It is expensive for sure. If you are trying to make better tasting coffee, not at all. A few degrees won’t really make a difference in the final taste. Honestly, I got it because it’s probably the nicest looking kettle out there. The money would be better spent going toward a better grinder IMO.
I have what I’m pretty sure is an Amazon clone, $30 and going strong in its second year of daily use…
I could wish the build quality was better for the money, but they pour great and the temp is accurate. It does a weird thing where it kinda sneaks up on the correct temp…so it gets to, say 210F really quickly then takes forever to get to 212. Overall positive and it beats the crap out of my tea kettle for v60.
That’s a really neat looking setup. What espresso machine is that? It’s beautiful.
Thanks! Mean bean is correct, it is the Quick Mill Corola Evo! I was hesitant to buy it at first because I couldn’t find many reviews, and the reviews I did find were for an earlier model that is no longer being sold. I’m glad I went with this one, as I don’t care to have a steam wand (I bought a Brevel frother to take its place). This unit focuses solely on the espresso, so for the price it is very good at pulling shots.
My internet searching pulls up a Quick Mill Carola Evo.
Now that’s a morning set up! What do you usually make in the mornings?
Why not just have a French press?
I do not enjoy having money, but I do enjoy drinking coffee.
What brand is your water heater? Been looking for a good one
That kettle is a Fellow Stagg
160 EUR … jesus
Yes, it’s very expensive. Definitely not needed, but it sure does look nice. Being able to dial in an exact temperature is nice. You can also play snake on it!
