Show us your coffee maker

[md4958]

ok... lets see where you make your morning coffee. Be it a moka, home machine, or commercial machine...lets see 'em.

This is my Carimali. We own three Italian Pastry Shops/ Caffes. We also have a 4 group Astoria, and a 2 group Nuova Simonelli Aurelia.

I like the Aurelia the best for making the coffee, but the Carimali is the sexiest!

We have been serving espresso and espresso drinks since 1955. I also have 2 antique machines that we no longer use, but just put out for display.

Cheater... pulling out the work machine!

I just use a 4 Cup French Press... :ss

very nice... never seen one of those. Looks like my popcorn popper. I woner, do you think they are inter-changeable? It wouldnt have the timer, but my best friend is a commercial coffee roaster and has taught me a thing or two.

man you all are serious about your coffee. i am not worthy....

[md4958]

Well, thats what I do for a living... so even though its what I make myself coffee on every morning, I have a few Bialetti moka pots for espresso and a Cuisinart grind and brew at home... although they are rarely used.

Some french press, some Moka and variations and a super-auto as todate I have not taking the plung to artist but rather I just love a solid (not perfect) shot of espresso first thing in the morning and with this I can do it half awake with no mess.

Baby Gaggia and Gaggia MDF grinder. I guess I'm gaga for Gaggia?

I like the results I get a lot.

Ditto that. I loves me coffee and get it when I travel all over but maybe it's time to invest in some of the grand perulators.

Nice. We gotta start a thread illustrating how to do those cool designs in the microfroth. I'd be so happy if I could learn the Christmas tree before December comes around and wow our company for the holidays.

Have this plumbed in to the water line at home and love it!

Oscar and Mazzer Mini.

Using the naked portafilter right now. I drink, Americanos, and heat the water with the steam wand. This works quite well. The machine has ridiculous steam...

Ive never had vacuum brewed coffee before. At the last coffee trade show I was at in DC they had a few demos (large scale 5 or 7 pots at a time) but the crowd was too thick.

hand grinder huh? talk about old school... but I guess it becomes somewhat of a ritual... like your cigar pre-light routine.

[Squid]

Here it is....very "convenient!" :ss

That's pretty much the setup I would love to have. Hard to improve on that pair.

[TOB9595]

OK Introducing me to vacuum brewing and the option of old school hand grinding.
BUT...Can a hand grinder be set for consistent, reproducible grinds?
It's just a nut changing the opening size of the grind...Hard to have a setting switch for various grinds.


hmmmmmm

Here is a picture of my daily brewer:

I'm still trying new brewing methods though & thought I'd give this cheap pour-over a whirl... Liking the simplicity so far!

Here's my coffee making collection. Everything is at least 10 years old. The regular size French Press was a gift from France in the 70's. The stove top units were bought in Montreal.

It's not the acquisition cost, it's the disposal fee when you're done where it really gets expensive.

:D...That's what the pre-nuptial insurance is all about when purchasing this brand of coffeemaker. If its offered, get it!

[CigarSquid]

12 years dead, figured I would share mine as the collection has grown in the last 1-2 years.

I broke out my Moka pot not too long ago. Hadn’t used it in a few years. I should leave it on the counter so I use it more.

[bonjing]

Nice collection, Garry.

I don't use mine nearly enough...even more so since I got the GCP...But I do enjoy the different flavor profile from it.

You're way ahead of me Gary but I have a Hario Skerton too. Love that thing, used it daily for years.
