If we started doing #CoffeeStation on Lemmy, then we’ve arrived.
Nice!
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.
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.
Oh god, that is beautiful
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.
