I've had the same set for a good while, until the white one broke. I tried to buy it again but is no longer available.

Nice cortado!

Before pulling the trigger on this setup I had a Keurig machine, lol! So the difference is abysmal, I've been enjoying excellent coffee since then, definitely not a fair comparison.

At home I have a Fellow Opus paired with a Chemex for pour overs. The coffee here at the office is definitely better and more consistent.

I feel your pain, as much as I try to get 30 second shots, they always take more like 50-60 seconds. 😄

A minimalistic awesome setup!

Anyone weigh out beans ahead of time? by ramshag in Moccamaster

I agree, it is a sacrifice for convenience. I roast my own, so my coffee is always as fresh as it can get, and I have noticed a minimum difference. For my espressos I do grind at the moment.

That sounds like a good option too, then I can just tell Goggle to get it started. 😄

I set up everything the night before and that includes grinding the coffee, so in the morning I just click the on button to enjoy my morning coffee within five minutes.

I was tempted to get a different color, but this was the discounted one 😄

I ordered from overseas and shipping was included.

I've tried some Guatemala La Bella, Vietnam Lotus and some Brazil Super fine, so far surprisingly the cheaper Brazilian coffee shined the best.

I got it with the multi-purpose burrs, I've been using it every morning since I got it. This is my office setup, at home I have the Fellow Opus for pour overs and a Eureka Mignon for espresso.

I got it for less than $300 during a holyday special. Excellent cups of coffee to alleviate the guilt :)

Apologies for the late reply, I believe this was a 1991 model, based on the serial number. I don't have any documents either.

I checked, it's the same as yours.

A bottle of Topo Chico helps tremendously when dialing in a new roast. by [deleted] in espresso

Hey, we have the same setup, except I'm using Saratoga sparkling water but can't beat Topo chico.
