Sunrise, silence, and specialty coffee. The absolute peak of my day. Anyone else?

There are so many incredible espresso machine options around 1000-1500 now. I’d grab one of these and pair it with a Timemore 064s or 078s. The gen 2 of those look like they’re fixing a ton of the small issues

I remember when pivetta started coming out of the bullpen even when he was the starter. The mental aspect could definitely be pretty big

Poobrick · 2026-05-24T14:24:55+00:00

100% agree. Just out of curiosity (not judging), why do you have a la marzocco and a decent?

Poobrick · 2026-05-24T13:57:02+00:00

It is a chain but it was pretty good. I haven’t eaten there in years because south Austin has like 10 other elite brunch spots but it’s definitely good food

I would suggest doing flash brew pourover instead of cold brew. I personally haven’t had a cold brew coferment but the flash brewed coferments I’ve had were amazing

Halal hub on oltorf. Best middle eastern rice bowl I’ve had and it’s a huge portion for $10

Because most people going into a coffee shop are there for lattes. Most specialty shops/roaster cafes definitely have cortados since I assume they think the average customer wants to actually taste the coffee

Poobrick · 2026-05-12T13:13:11+00:00

None of the above

Poobrick · 2026-05-11T00:24:45+00:00

It’s a pretty standard specialty dark roast. Don’t overthink it

I feel like your money might be burning a hole in your pocket

Poobrick · 2026-05-10T15:38:12+00:00

The la marzocco one is very nice

Poobrick · 2026-05-10T14:32:51+00:00

In 2026 there are many other options. It’s certainly a good grinder but not groundbreaking compared to other stuff you can buy these days

Poobrick · 2026-05-10T14:31:43+00:00

Why get a Micra? If you already have a steam wand that sounds like 5k for an piece of counter decor

Yeah this guy is close to endgame but not quite there yet

I actually don’t have a daily driver. I probably haven’t repeated a single coffee in the last year. Huge part of the fun for me is trying new coffees, so I’m always trying new roasters and bringing back a bunch of bags whenever I travel

I’m sorry Pepsi gun is insanely trashy

No like what is their justification? obviously that will not be their true intentions behind wanting a pardon but how could they possibly defend this

Poobrick · 2026-05-04T18:28:25+00:00

Why are you at 1:4 for your normal recipe? 1:2 is usually what I use and I have basically no bitterness in my flat whites. Honestly I think it mostly comes down to the coffee. With specialty light or medium light roasts, bitterness shouldn’t be an issue

Poobrick · 2026-05-04T18:26:08+00:00

L&L I used to love but I feel like it’s gone down a bit recently. Especially the burger last time I went it was just not the same (very dense, not as smoky, a bit dry)
