Got coffee? I do! Some of you may already know I’m a closet coffee roaster. I’m a true coffee snob as well! I prefer the coffees that I roast, however, there are times when we are out and about that I need a coffee. I specifically like one bought coffee brand for hot coffees and another bought brand for mocha frappes. The first picture is a batch of my roasted coffee. This next one is of green water processed decaf. In green form, it looks a bit ‘browner’ than regular green coffee does. I drink both decaf and caffeinated coffees. It depends on the day specifically, which I drink or whether it’s a blend of the two, or straight caffeinated.
So, with all this coffee, you have to know an espresso machine will be involved. We just got a new one because the last one was pushing hot water out the steam wand as it was pulling a shot-not good! That was about the 5th machine in 2 years! I’ve come to the conclusion that the low end machines are for households that might do an espresso once or twice a week. We pull on average 5 espresso drinks between me and @silvertop per day! Crazy right?! We do love our coffee!
So with our machine on its last leg, I did a bunch of research-even got Grok AI involved with some of it, and ordered this:
It is not the lower end nor by any means is it the higher end. However it is constructed of stainless steel and NOT plastic. It has 2 boilers so you can pull a shot and steam your milk simultaneously! It came with everything you need including a tamper, a frothing pitcher, a steam nozzle cleaner, brush and coffee scoop. It also had 2 single wall-single shot and 2 double shot porta filters, as well as the same in a double wall version.
It is seriously programmable with length of time a shot is pulled; temperature of the shot pulled; temperature of the max steam. It’s a heavy and well made machine.
As with anything new, there is of course a learning curve. However this evening’s coffee was much better than this morning’s! 😁☕️ I’ve not gotten to the programming yet-I’ll save that for the weekend when I’m not in a rush.
Work today was busy as usual. I just found out a couple hours ago that my coworker who works Thursday and Friday, won’t be in tomorrow……AGAIN! 🙄 I’m hoping she will come Friday, but time will tell.
That’s it for today. Take care always and enjoy the rest of your day wherever you are! 🙏🌎🙏

NKJV John 16:31-33
Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
