I’m not exaggerating when morning coffee is one of my most fundamental rituals. If the world went to shit, the things I miss the most would be a hot shower and easy access coffee.
I have a little coffee cart I roll out on the weeks which I have a few gadgets on.
Aeropress
Turkish coffee pot thing
bialetti moka pot
Pourover
French press
Nespresso vertuo
Hario Mizudash (the red coldbrew steeper)
I mostly make pourover and nespresso. I love the flavor of a good pourover. I also love coldbrew and love making it in that red steeper than my lady got me. The most sacrilegious device I have is the nespresso but man, it can make a killer morning brew with it’s weird little spinning capsules. Everyone lumps it in with the other pod coffee but there’s nothing like it. It makes a fake crema that is delicious just using centrifugal forces.
Ha! I’m not going to talk down about a convenient machine especially if it still makes a good cup. I also have a moka pot and french press but I’m not using them that often. I’m also grinding with a Baratza Encore. It seemed like an expense at the time, but I’m ok spending money on something you’ll use everyday, gives good results, and lasts.
I’ve always thumbed my nose at nespresso, lumping it in as a different style of keurig. But after hearing an acclaimed expert (Hoffman, maybe?) praise them for being surprisingly decent, I’ve been rethinking them.
Personally, I love my V60 pour over. But I’d also love an espresso machine, except anything marginally decent is pretty pricey. How would you compare the nespresso to typical espresso?
I already sent a reply about Hoffman but to answer your question about espresso, I actually never use my Nespresso for espresso. That is honestly reserved for my moka pot even though technically it doesn’t really count as espresso. I mostly use the coffee features as well as the cold brew which spits out more of a coffee tea than cold brew but it’s quite refreshing in the summer

I saw the same Hoffman video! It helped me confirm what I was tasting in the coffee I liked.
