Do you have a go to system for coffee in the morning, if so what is? What tools do you use? What do you want to change?

    At home.

    DeLonghi BTC long and unadulterated. I don’t have a favourite bean as I like variety. Followed swiftly by another before the DeLonghi switches off.

    On the ship (for that is where I work) French Press, very coarse, something citrusy like Ethiopian Yirg. Left to stew for about 10 to 15 minutes.

    I want to change out my DeLonghi for a Sage. It’ll happen someday.

    Weigh beans. Grind. Hopefully grinder was set correctly since yesterday. Weigh grinds in portafilter. RDT. Tamp. Brew button and stopwatch simultaneously. Hopefully I remembered the cup. Watch flow and timer - hopefully I don’t need to open the steam valve to lower pressure due to too fast brew. Stop at around 25 seconds. Facegasm. Couldn’t be simpler.

    Locally grown coffee in an Italian electric moka pot, made into an americano by topping up with hot water, splash of whole milk on top. Delicious.

    Sage bean to cup. Union house blend, 10 second grind. Frothy milk to 65 degrees, spoon on and drink.

    One scoop (measured, came with one of my machines) of Barcelona Espresso beans (Roast and Post for the win, hit me up if you want a code) into the grinder. Boil the kettle and start the espresso machine heating.

    Head to cupboard and choose my cup for this morning. I have a few different sizes from long black down to single espresso.

    Back to machine, warm the cup from the kettle, then clean out group and load it with the fresh grounds.

    Tip out the water from the cup, add 1/4 tsp brown sugar, and then attach the group and get the cup in place.

    Start water - 2 - 3.

    Stop - 2 - 3.

    Start - 2 - 3 - … - 13.

    That about makes an espresso, then its a swirl of hot from the kettle if the cup is a little larger.

    Grinder: Encore Baratza. Loud as hell and no timer, but works well.

    Espresso machine: Gaggia Cubika Plus. Had it about 15 years, never gone wrong.
