️ Woke up WAY to early, but new coffee machine is on the way. Classic “win some, lose some” situation.

@maique Oooooooooh what coffee machine are you getting? I'm still using my Delonghi Dedica, modified with a bottomless PF and unpressurised basket.

[ctt@social.lol]

@andycarolan That sounds fascinating, but I understood none of it!

@maique

[maique@social.lol]

@andycarolan The most basic Krupps machine, one that takes Dolce Gusto pods. We’re moving away from the Nespresso ones.

[andycarolan@social.lol]

@ctt ROFL, the basket thing that you put ground coffee is usually pressurised on my machine, and the coffee comes out of little nozzles on the bottom. The unpressurised basket relies on the coffee itself to provide the pressure. The bottomless PF allows the stream of coffee to be visible, so problems can be better identified. @maique

@maique Ooh nice! Enjoy!

[ctt@social.lol]

@andycarolan Thank you for enlightening me Coffee machines are fascinating these days. A far cry from a camp fire with a pot heating up in it.

@ctt ROFL, Honestly, I only scratch the surface of making coffee... if you have time, check out James Hoffmann on YouTube. Very interesting channel!

Sometimes the simpler methods are still the best... I often use my Moka Pot on the stove @maique

[maique@social.lol]

@andycarolan Moka pot every single day, for my wife. I’m the one doing it. But I need my pods!

@maique @andycarolan

Currently on that pod life too; We had switched away from Dolce Gusto to Nespresso I just really like that L’OR coffee.

But we're planning to switch away even more and use our AeroPress (One day I'd also love to pick up a V60)

[andycarolan@social.lol]

@maique @ctt “I need my pods!” lol

[andycarolan@social.lol]

@christian @maique V60s are fun! Definitely a nice brew and an enjoyable process.

@andycarolan I don’t have a coffee machine beyond a Nespresso machine. I also do pour overs (actually haven’t done for a while) boiling water to a specific temperature (I don’t know how much of a difference it makes, but it makes me feel as though I know “stuff” about coffee ), and an Aeropress. Occasionally as well a French Press.

@maique

[andycarolan@social.lol]

@ctt Sounds like a nice set of equipment. I've never really liked coffee from a cafetière/press. I do like a nice pourover though... but not quite as much as I like a Moka Pot coffee lol. @maique

@andycarolan Options, options,… ️
