I see you grabbed coffee from Bean&Bean! One of their shops is local to me so I've been there many times. I finally have a bag on order from them to try at home, can't wait.

I joined the La Marzocco monthly subscription and this month's coffees were from Bean & Bean. I live 2 hours from NYC depending on traffic, of course. Told my wife I want to go there on our next trip in.

I'm new to lighter coffees but we loved the Guatemala Orange Honey.

Espresso "corner".

Seems you have an interesting "circuit" beneath the Pro800

This is the only one I have that looks shareable, since it's from right after I moved in... I should really clean my coffee station tomorrow!

Breville Dual Boiler, purchased used because I'm a madman. Niche Zero, purchased over 3 years ago. Simple, easy, delicious.

Hello Frank,

It's always nice to see a fellow Virginian with a Strietman...it's a beautiful setup.

I have tried a lot of different steamers/frothers and finally landed on a Welhome Pro Steamer. I picked up a new one on Ebay (110V verizon) for about half of its retail cost. I absolutely love it, it is digitally controlled so the temp is spot on everytime. It can steam handsfree once you get it started, which allows me to pull my shot and steam simultaneously. It takes a bout a minute to heat up, and steams in a similar amount of time. In most cases my shot is done at the same time as the steaming.

It was a game changer for me, here's a link and quick pick of my setup

Wow nice set up! I love that its right in front of a window and the backyard. That steamer seems awesome. I'm thinking I want to add a spring lever too so I'll probably pick up the new Londinium when it comes out and use that for my milk drinks (since I really only make milk drinks for guests).

I recently upgraded from a Breville Barista Express, after 3 years of trusty service, to a Profitec Pro 500 w/PID and a Eureka Mignon Libra.

I've added some custom walnut accessories from forum member cannonfodder.

I'm very happy with the workflow from the Libra and the consistency of the Pro 500.
