Coffee Nirvana

Just discovered The Café !

My coffee nirvana consists of a Quickmill Andreja Premium espresso machine, and a La Cimbali Jr. grinder. For drip coffee, use a Starbucks Aroma Grande coffee maker, and I also use an Aeropress occasionally (have one at home and another at work)

I've plumbed in the espresso machine to the house (refilling the reservoir got to be a chore within a month after getting the machine), and ended up installing a whole house water softener as our water is a bit hard.

I use an Espro steaming pitcher - which I keep in the freezer until I'm ready to steam milk for latte's - works like a dream for making incredible microfoam!

We have a great roaster here in town (Transcend), and I pretty much exclusively get my beans from them - nothing like fresh roasted!.

My days begin (after shaving) with an Americano, made with 2 double shots.
After dinner I make latte's - will be doing latte art like a madman this weekend with the entire family over for Thanksgiving dinner! :biggrin1:
 
got to admire a guy that puts in a whole house water softener to keep the coffee apparatuses mineral free - although I am sure there were other reasons too. :laugh:

Make sure and take some pics of your latte art, we got a stickied thread that hasn't been updated in a quite a while. good or bad. I'm going to unsticky that thread if folks don't start posting there. I got a keyboard and I'm not afraid to use it! :letterk1:

Threat noted. I guess it's time to start pouring art again.

NICE home set up, Toor! I <3 Transcend too, btw. They do good work.
