Poor over is an art all by itself.

If this drink doesn’t get you to learn to like coffee, I don’t know what will . It’s the smoothest drinking coffee when made right. Hard to make right unfortunately.

that is fantastic !
so you calculate the weight,

i see the nice contrast of a pristine clean coffee bar, and a well travelled 2002 outside, with a nice patina,...
that is style !

Couldn’t resist having it there. Very excited about it, picked it up yesterday-1972 tii, now I need to sell my 69 2002 automatic daily driver with fresh metal work if anyone interested.

here is the usual owner of an europiccola....

And there’s even a technique when making espresso (a sort of double pump of the lever) called the Fellini, after this (at about 2:45):

That barista was so money, he didn’t even know it. Lol.

I'm inspired and depressed at the same time. I love coffee and was looking for a cappuccino machine recently. Unable to find anything not made in the "Orient" I had given up. Then this appeared and I'm on the hunt again! Thanks DeQ

We have had a Jura z7 for about 10 years. It makes coffee 92% as good as the best barista I know in Madrid. It has functioned flawlessly for nearly 10,000 cups. Zero repairs and zero maintenance parts! We use filtered/soft water in the machine, which I think is important . The cost was high ($2k or 20 cents a cup), but the convenience in our busy lives more than makes up for the cost and the less-than-perfect coffee.

i think of it as a BMW E70D versus my all manual E9. While it would be fun to have a classic espresso press, that’ll have to wait till I’m retired and looking for ways to kill time.

Best machine we have ever had. Schaefer Siena-2. Swiss made. Very expensive but worth it. 7676 coffees so far.

My 19.8 year old also recently discovered pour over. She thinks it’s something new to the market...

Don’t y’all miss being poor college students?

Schaerer Siena-2

Only twice the price of a comparable Jura, but maybe it bridges that last 10% in coffee perfection?

It’s so good that the result is we drink more.Thank goodness for Costco Starbucks espresso ️

 

[Peter Coomaraswamy]

All in all it's cheaper than Statins!

Rex, i like this one: “Espresso is like tuning an old set of Solexs , either you know and you’re a master mechanic, or you’re learning”

point is that with coffee it is usually a certain level of chaos, say better uncertainty, i am unable to make good (to my taste) coffee every day, sometimes is regular, sometimes good, and sometimes excellent

you never know in advance

maybe it is part of the joy, i accept and love with it

The process is part of the reward.
