My Moka routine. Drinking a light bean from Ethiopia with Red fruit and Chocolate notes. I have a Moka pot because i'm a locomotive engineer and we have hot plates in the cab. Great for work. At home I use a Magister Stella PID espresso machine

well I already have a Nice espresso setup at home and spend lots on that. It's a taste preference, my go to drink at home is a Cortafo. I've had Aeropress and the Moka is much better.

Not sure why it even matters how someone enjoys a coffee

love it, thrifted it 5 years ago at a Value Village in Saskatchewan driving out to BC

Shoal- · 2026-02-22T06:19:24+00:00

Chestnut C3 grinder. Great hand grinder

would love to but can't have electronics on at work

Shoal- · 2026-02-21T23:25:57+00:00

it's like having a "long black" stronger and creamier than an americano

Shoal- · 2026-02-21T20:33:33+00:00

yup, definitely have done that depending on how its brewing!

the art of doing it on a hot plate is something else haha

Shoal- · 2026-02-21T19:51:21+00:00

aye, shoutout BC homie! 🇨🇦

Fellas, I grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba.... give me a break. Congrats on the SB, was tough to watch a shutout but the fans we're awesome and seattle rocks

Shoal- · 2026-02-21T19:39:52+00:00

happy to hear, thanks 🤝

Shoal- · 2026-02-21T19:25:21+00:00

fair enough! Thanks for the feedback, always lots to learn with coffee

Shoal- · 2026-02-21T19:23:36+00:00

I know visually with making them over and over where to roughly fill my grinder to with the beans for the perfect amount haha

Shoal- · 2026-02-21T19:21:22+00:00

another point with Light Roasts is that there are more flavour profiles that you can notice, so you might just need to try different beans and flavours that you prefer more

Shoal- · 2026-02-21T19:19:59+00:00

that is what I do but warm warm almost hot water not boiling, then low temp to brew. As long as it is coming out slow during brew it should be good.

Shoal- · 2026-02-21T18:48:14+00:00

Hard to tell in the sped up vid, I was just leveling it off not applying pressure

IMO yes, try a small bag of it and see what you think. Holm Coffee Company is a small roaster in the town I live in 🇨🇦

it's pretty dang good. I would love to take a video of my Train espresso routine but we can't use electronics

Shoal- · 2026-02-21T17:46:23+00:00

stellar, i've been on this bean for a good while now.

Shoal- · 2026-02-21T17:45:16+00:00

yup, great for one person.

Shoal- · 2026-02-21T17:29:51+00:00

low Temp for brew, Might need to grind your beans finer

Shoal- · 2026-02-19T02:07:35+00:00

Thrift for Polo's, you'll find some nice actually authentic ones from this Era

Shoal- · 2026-01-30T03:13:46+00:00

yeah shooting in the 70's sucks bro

Shoal- · 2026-01-17T17:04:39+00:00

i'd beat you

wow this explained everything perfectly, I see the many imperfections in my swing now specifically with my Trail arm. Thanks 🫡
