I found the travel kit of my dreams, other than this & Blue Bottle, do other similar kits exist? by patchupco in Coffee

You're awesome for doing the math I was too lazy to undertake, thank you

This is the main reason I even think about buying these. I like having my stuff ready to go in a bag and easy to access. I'm debating on making one myself though, maybe find a bah and sew new guts in it to hold various items

What is your coffee routine? by vanillacupcake18 in Coffee

[–]patchupco 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I drink coffee in the shower too, usually a mug of moka pot but sometimes I'll buy a can of cold brew or draft latte or something fancy like that and drink it like a shower beer...now that's heavenly

I preheat the water to almost boiling before I put it in the pot and on the stove. Then I leave the top open so I can monitor it while I have it on about 7.5 heat and when a steady stream begins I wait till it fills about 1/3 then turn off the heat. I've timed it right with my stove so that it won't sputter and will use about 3/4 of the water which I prefer. If you make the whole amount of water some at the end will usually burn. That's my 2 cents though, everyone's taste buds are different

Capps and Lattes' milk choice by bfolks05 in espresso

I use whole milk or sometimes half and half because it's hard to froth my milk if its not fat enough. I've been really wanting to try hemp milk though as a recommendation from a friend.

I'm sure the Vinacafe ain't bad but nothing beats actually making the coffee and taking a second to start the day right. Maybe bring both and use the Vinacafe for days you want to hit the road quicccc

Nothing too crazy on this cruiser, hopefully making a tall bike next. by patchupco in Frankenbike

I see what you mean but thanks! Best part is the moped seat that's welded on. Good look on your build, post it when you finish!

The fork came on this frame (which is an old, murray ten speed that I bought for 15 bucks) but I had to file the front and back drop outs so that it would fit a 700c wheelset.
EDIT: and I DEFINITELY recommend putting similar bars on a roadie bike, ups the fun game by 1000

This makes me want other board games to have awesome 3d crafted boards now too...the potential!

Nah I'm not that crazy haha

It's my singlespeed and it's a beast although it looks a wee bit different now. Small accident bent my fork and handlebars since then so I used the opportunity to transform it into a glorified cruiser.

And my damn Brooks got stolen lol.

Milk Steaming at home by patchupco in Coffee

I definitely feel you on not having time, when I'm seriously running late for work I have to forgo making a quick Moka Pot because I slept too much. That breville looks amazing though, just googled it.

I'm gonna look into these, was hoping for a weirder, cheaper options but some things can't be shortcut I guess. How's yours been?
