Haha - I have just opened some beans that David from Black Cat threw in for me. Twilight Blend. I’ve never tried these before and really enjoyed my first cup earlier. I’ve got some Bom Jesus from Coffee By the Casuals lined up for this afternoon

    DavecUK are you suggesting my equipment is a power hungry climate destroyer? They’re LED lights I’ll have you know

    dutchy101 Twilight Blend.

    That’s a dark roast - easier to extract. Don’t ditch the dosing funnel, WDT or normcore tamper yet 😄

      Haha fair dos. Was very proud of myself nailing the dialling in first time

      David sent me a bag of that too which I’ll be opening tomorrow

      OK the Bom Jesus wasn’t as much of a success haha. Interesting how much I’m having to change the grind from using the same bean with my Bambino although there’s a lot of differences to consider the 54mm vs 58mm basket for a start.

      Still tasted bloody good, just wasn’t as pretty on the eye

      My current set-up (thanks to Bellabarista) - originally had a Eureka Atom Speciality 65E but bought the Oro Single just before Christmas. Very happy with the quality of the ECM especially the ‘Joystick’ valves. Liked the Atom but can’t justify both so it will have to go in the classifieds once I can work out how to list something..

      OK, my setup: Niche Zero and Lelit Elizabeth! I love the drawer knock box too. I have the Breville drip coffee maker too.

      hubcap Pretty sure I’m done 😉

      With Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee there, is one set for pour over and the other for espresso?

        Pompeyexile

        Yes mate, espresso, pour over and moka etc’ - way too much trouble switching between the different grinds, great grinder but terrible adjustment wheel.

          Bought my ECM Mechanika V Slim approximately 6 months ago. Space was an issue, but the VSlim fitted the bill. Enjoying the journey along with trying the many beans available. Still trying to perfect my milk texturing for decent Latte Art.

          pbg This is a great vintage set up!

          Current setup: ACS Vesuvius, Nuova Simonelli Mythos One. Past experience, Nuova Simonelli Apia 1 gr., San Remo Capri 1 gr., Bezzera BZ 35e, Fracino Heavenly. Anfim Super Lusso.

          I think this will be it now for quite a while for my coffee paraphenalia with the Niche being the final edition.

          Sage DB, Niche Zero, Rock Lever, Rock Grinder, V60, Moka pot with dispersion plate, Aeropress, Clever Dripper, Brewista scales, Techni Vorm Moccamaster.

            Emc2 Another very neat setup…I see that particular counter top is smaller than normal, so the side positioning of the tank on Bianca really helps you.
