Coffee Madness!

I have the box
Any other mad scientists here? Seriously, in the morning I proceed with caution to my coffee maker like Walter White in his state of the art meth lab. Taking out my equipment, laying it out in the right order then remove my secret black bag with menacing skull brought to me by my smurfs, Amazon, and pouring some of its contents into my glistening stainless steel coffee grinder. Oh, and then the sweet sound that high RPM motor turning those glistening black oily beans into the perfect angel's dust. When I expose those black granules there is an explosion of coffee bean bliss all around me. Carefully, I measure the ingredients into my short path elixir extractor anticipating, the triple filtered goodness about to transduce into the most magnificent drug on Earth. I press the button, then hear the transformation begin with a puff of steam. The first drop, it falls to the bottom of the glass with an orgasmic plink. Instantly, I transform. I'm no longer Walter White, mild mannered chemistry teacher, NO! Donning my signature hat and sun glasses, I metamorphosize. I, become, Heisenberg the mad home barista. King of my kitchen. Then I pour me a coffee, walk the dog, and watch him take a shit. Cheers! Have a great day!

I need to drag out the French press. The little woman has been doing the brewing lately. She has been doing the standard bean grind and Mr. Coffee maker.


I dont have a special guy I score my beans from. I have been getting Starbucks French roast or Kirkland espresso. Both from Costco.

I only have a cup or two of coffee a week. I'm more of a green tea person now. We have a Keurig and buy our own (locally company) grounds and fill the reusable cups. Heresy I know - but it makes a decent cup.
 
I let modern science make my coffee. I have this model of Swiss superautomat Jura coffee makers. You pour beans and milk in and it can make almost any coffee beverage you can imagine. I think it has programs for 24 different drinks, and you can make new custom presets if you want. It has fricken wifi so I can turn it on from my phone and have my coffee ready for me when I get to the kitchen. Inside the box is a high pressure espresso machine plus all the automation to steam and froth milk for fancy drinks. It takes about 30 seconds to grind beans and make an espresso. It can make a latte macchiato like in the picture in maybe a minute or so.

My ex got the espresso machine and I haven't bothered replacing, so I'm mostly using an aeropress like Jbird these days

Wait now, you need guys. There are lots of guys out there you can use and I can highly recommend these guys: https://www.deathwishcoffee.com/

Don't let the strongest coffee in the world through you off. If you use the amount of coffee they do to brew it with then yes, it may be. But for good regular coffee I used what I always use plus or minus a scoop. Valhalla Java, as funny and goofy as it sounds is quite tasty.

Did you know that Alan Alder, inventor of the AP, recommends reusing each filter disk up to 8 times?

For the coffee that I generally brew in the AP, 5-6 times seems to be a good number of uses

I will try that. I see that Zakk Wylde is affiliated with Death Wish Coffeee.

I didn't know that. One would have to 'wash' the filter? Mine, coffee is stuck all over it, and it pops out into the trash when I hit it to get rid of the grounds.

I just peel it off the coffee grounds and put it back in the filter retainer then rinse it off for a few seconds. I'll leave it in the retainer to dry off until the next use
