Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

Yesterday i got a used rancilio Silvia with some tools for a good price. I want to convert it with a gaggimate. Someone has done ~something~ with some pid controller which I have not noticed. Had the hand mill for filter coffe already.

Last evening I experimented with cheap storbought decaf, and shock and horror. It was so dark roast and so old, that there were no notes other than "roasted".

This morning I tried some actually good coffee and it was nice for a first try.

Look a "flower"... My late art is lacking.

I have loads to learn and loads to play

How many grams of coke do you usually measure onto that scale for a standard latte?

None. My coffe basket has a capacity of 15 grams, so I measure 15 grams of coffee.

Your latte art is significantly better than mine. I tend to just freestyle fuck around and see what shape happens lol.

Your flower looks similar to my flowers!

I just gave away my old and basic Gaggia that I hadn’t even touched in years. Just because I’ve limited my coffee intake to one cup per day and that cup comes in the morning and it’s made on a V60.

Cool set up, thanks for sharing! Can I ask which grinder you're using here?
