Post a pic of your home espresso setup... - Page 13

Hmmmm. Bet you don't get much criticism of your espresso.

hehe...

...and where do I find cabinet lumber with magnetic power? Ironwood?

(Seriously....is there a magnet behind or something? Never seen that before!)

You'd be surprised! A family that has their own built in barista can grow to be quite finicky!

This is a very hastily-taken (and amateurish) photo of my new Qucik Mill Alexia (with Jim Gallt's PID kit) and La Cimbali Max Hybrid. I got the set-up yesterday, and have already been able to pull some decent shots. However, I must admit to not sleeping very well last night, due to all the experimenting...

[shadowfax]

looking sharp! Got your priorities straight, I see.

I took out double oven and I'm so glad that I did it. (These pics were taken three years ago)

OK, this is just getting cruel!







But very very pretty.

Is this considered a naked Silvia with rollers in her hair?

I'd be afraid of her shocking me when trying to use her.

Since I've been lurking for quite a while now, I figured I would post my setup... Nothing Fancy... A San Remo Treviso with a Mazzer Super Jolly with the hopper from a Mini.

"trouble with your droid?"

"No, no trouble. Why?"

Mom's house.



She's had the Barista for probably 8 years and just recently she told my brother and I that she was getting into using it. Since she was grinding at the local shop and bringing it home, my brother and I got her the Virtuoso to match it. We may have undershot it a bit as she is now:

- using a scale for measuring beans
- bought a more accurate thermometer for steaming
- taking cupping classes at a local *$ and sampling varietals
- she's asking if she can mass the beans prior to grinding to make sure none are being trapped in the grinding mechanism. That's why the hopper is empty - she only scoops in enough for each shot and keeps the beans in a dark, dry place in a sealed container.

possibly most telling....
- taking photos of coffee equipment in her kitchen and emailing them....

She even spent a couple hours cleaning the Cuisinart for guests.

Wesley, may is coming. You undesrtand? May... be prepared!

[djmonkeyhater]

As embarrassing as it is to post my setup in it's modest surroundings....

The Futurmat is was on a trial run. It's at work now.

The PID'ed, plumbed Faema is the housemates. So is Rocky. Runs like a champ. Thanks John!!

The crappy carpet is all mine. We even recently put in the 20A outlet to the left of the Faema to keep the space heater conflicts to a minimum.

The Laurentis and Astoria are in the basement with the SM90.

Sounds like a serious coffee enthusiast in the making. Maybe you could get her more manual coffee makers like a french press or vacuum brewer and directions for use from forums like HB. Then stand back and see what happens.

Below is my recently set up Andreja Premium and Macap M4 in the kitchen. The second photo is of the HotTop roaster and (unnecessary) variac located on it's stand in the screened in porch.
