Just a shout out to my favourite coffee shop I've ever been in. Love to go in regularly and see what they've got on, was in a rush today (was running errands) so figured I'd just have whatever was on batch so I could be in and out within a minute, blessed with a fantastic Ethiopian from Dak on today, couldn't ask for more
Has anyone tried these?
I know, I know, we all want and deserve much better, but I'm thinking of getting some for at a festival later in the year because it just seems much easier than the grinder/Aeropress combo I'd have to take otherwise. If they're absolutely terrible I won't bother, but if they're at least passable then maybe it would be worth it
Love to see what everyone is using!
Mines a mostly pretty budget orientated setup (also use a Ninja Luxe but couldn't fit it in the picture)
Personally find I have most things covered here to a level which gets pretty great results without going overboard on any individual piece. Two hand grinders with different profiles, one electric grinder for espresso (I do not have the patience to hand grind that), a conical and flat bottom dripper (v60 and Orea 01), Aeropress (once upon a time my daily driver, now mostly used as my travel brewer), the most budget electric gooseneck on Amazon with temp control, and a Flair Neo Flex for manual espresso. Mainly gets used on my days off, if I'm in a rush I'll use the Ninja Luxe for espresso too. With that I usually just keep CWorks beans stocked up and it's a go to for milkies, but honestly my fiancé uses that more than I do
Anyone else attend today?
I thought it was excellent, lots of amazing coffee to try. In terms of purchases I ended up getting these two from North Star and Rounton, but honey was spoiled for choice, plenty on offer
