Make sure to Tamp your morning double-shot evenly or it will turn into a single shot

Believe it or not, even this 4 button machine takes time to learn how to use properly. Each button has a press and hold feature which programs functionality and the 25 grind level made getting my cup perfect difficult to manage. Each time I changed the grind fineness I had to change the amount of beans I ground (and vice versa). Great machine. I dont think it has made it to the market yet. I got it as a test device!

Ffs, just drink some regular coffee. They even grind it and put it in a prepackaged pod for you now. It’s not rocket surgery.

Right now that's the only thing I drink from home. If I don't use my espresso machine I will use my french press, but I need to get a manual grinder before I start to use that again. I dont have an easy way to grind 1 cups worth of beans for the french press. I have the burr grinder on the far left of the pic, but the hopper is not air tight and I do not want to store my beans in there long term. Must be 1 way seal!!! My espresso machine is air tight so I am ok leaving that hopper full.

Nespresso is the only prepackaged coffee that I think is good, and I will admit, Nespresso is VERY good....but you pay for it at $3 a pod....

Do you wrap both hands around the oversized mug and just say "ahhhh"

Black Coffee.....don't care where it is from, just black coffee.

hahaha no no that mug is actually my coffee ground holder. I dont have a knock box, so i just scoop the grounds out of the portafilter into the mug and I empty the mug once a week. The ground usually dry out quick enough so they dont mold. I only ever has 1 issue with mold and that was when I ran a single shot through my double shot basket, so there was a lot of excess water.

But yes, I agree, only black. I make my guests use milk if they want something else in their coffee.

I would legitimately rather drink mud than k-cup coffee. I am not overexaggerating either.
