It went over well! ✨️

Another weekend experiment - I used durable decals on magnetic cover panels for the Barista Express. I started with green clovers, yellow moons, etc., before coming up with an espresso themed design.

The first person to see this immediately called them LVMH panels. I thought I had something original :-(

Hi all! My current coffee station is very compact and I recently had to let go of my Keurig K-Mini single-serve. I'm caught between two options at the moment: the Ninja Pods & Grounds Specialty Single-Serve and the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Single-Serve. Has anyone tried either or both of these? How do you like them and which do you recommend? I'd be the only one using it for the majority of the time, and mainly with pods over grounds. If anyone can attest to durability that would be great. I don't want to have to replace it soon.

- Delonghi Dedica Maestro (no basket portafilter)

- Varia VS3 grinder

- Timemore coffee scale

Built my first coffee station but these plastic shelves from aliexpress are ugly. I want better looking something from wood that will do the job well.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I'd call it a personal endgame coming form a Rancilio Silvia for years which then was PID modded and got the Eureka grinder update some years ago... and now the ECM Mechanika Max II... does the grinder hold up to it? I roast my own coffees with a Quest M3 so mostly 250g batches of beans or 500g blends... so single dosing is still better then grind by weight for my case right?

Cheers

Finally achieved my final setup.. amazing, truly

Gaggia Classic Pro E24
Shardor 64mm x2
Cabinet with syrups and sauces I regularly use, along with cleaning products. DIY’d a bedside table and put museum gel on the bottom so it’ll stay put.
Single dose containers (technically skincare jars but for me, single dose storage). Scale, RDT, paper filters.
Second drawer is general tool storage.
Third and fourth drawer is just a fraction of my ceramic and cup collection. Last drawer; rubber stoppers, drill, other misc tools.

Also, drilled holes on the edges of the workbench and put little hooks in them so I have a place to hang my cloths. In love with my station. Big upgrade for me.

Wanted to list all the brands but think I tripped up the spam filter lol

My humble set up 🥰 I love it but the counter top makes it look so…white. Should I just leave it like this? Is there anything I can do to not make it all so white?

Edit: This is a rental, all the other places we have lived didn’t have white countertops. I didn’t want to buy different colors just for this one rental. We will probably move in 2 or 3 years.

I upgraded from a Breville Barista Espresso that I used for 10 years. I really noticed an improvement in my shots.

I mainly brew pour overs, going to upgrade with an espresso machine soon.

Hello to all. New to the espresso hobby. Just wanted to share my setup!

It’s coming along nicely

Just added a new grinder. Needed to move pour over stuff elsewhere.

Built out a slightly deeper cabinet when we redid the kitchen to handle the plumb-in - tiny bit temperamental, but 100% worth it. Pour overs live in the cabinet below.

So I bought the machine and couple months ago and have been using it every morning with grounds and the basket (no pods) it usually comes out very light I’m just wondering if that’s a normal thing I usually brew a 18oz cup and wether I put it on rich or reg it still is pretty light looks like mostly water but I truly don’t know this is my first coffee maker so I’m open to suggestions, tips and answers also tips on the 4oz latte setting how to make drinks is it espresso or what kind of drink is it? I like regular drip coffee but my wife likes specialty drinks (her go to is a carmelicious blender from scooters if you know what that is) so tips on making that would be awesome thanks in advance

Canto de café em casa

Há quase 2 anos que comecei a desenvolver o gosto de tomar café em casa.

Tendo eu também o gosto de fazer bricolage, juntei os dois prazer, e aconteceu algo imprevisível...

Lista do hardware:

Delonghi dedica

Hibrew g5

Balança Elcorteingles made in china (Carmy)

Tamper delonghi

Porterfilter made in china

Tudo o resto foi oferecido, ou feito por mim.

A televisão era do meu avô da marca philco, que adaptei.

Os grão de café, que na mim opinião são o mais importante, compro em casas tradicionais que torrão café há muitos anos, com preços muito razoáveis e opções muito variadas.

A viagem pelo mundo do café tem sido , como qualquer viagem, com situações boas e outras más.

Mas mais importante, tem sido fascinante.

Pessoas, objectos, cheiros, sabores, e sítios novos, que experienciamos, como em qualquer viagem que fazemos a lugares que nunca fomos.

O mundo que tenho descoberto, que vai para além de uma simples chavena de café, é fascinante.

Ir a um café pela manhã para aliviar a dormência,e tornar o despertar mais rápido para enfrentar a dia, tornou-se em um momento de contemplação.

Agora é raro beber café fora de casa, mas quando acontece aquela chavena de café é também toda a experiência que tenho tido ao longo deste tempo.

Obrigado

E até à proxima.
