All the stats on my coffee gear, for the curious (updated November 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grinders<\/strong>: Baratza Vario<\/a> (only for espresso), Baratza Virtuoso<\/a> (for all other coffee methods)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Espresso Machine<\/strong>: Quick Mill Silvano<\/a> paired with a Rancilio bottomless portafilter, 58 mm VST precision baskets, ridged (18 g and 20 g sizes). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamper<\/strong>: Cafelat VST Tamper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manual methods<\/strong>: Chemex, Hario V60 (ceramic), Clever Dripper, Bodum Eileen and Chambord french presses. I use bleached filters in the filtered methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automatic drip<\/strong>: None<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kettles<\/strong>: Paris Rh\u00f4ne 1.7 L electric kettle with 6 temperature presets; for jobs requiring a gooseneck, I transfer the water into my Chemex-branded Chettle (now discontinued).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scale<\/strong>: Smart Weigh Digital Pro Pocket Scale<\/a> (for weighing espresso), Hario V60 Drip Coffee Scale and Timer<\/a> (for all other coffee brewing)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brewing parameters<\/strong>: Generally 1:16 coffee:water ratio, brewed with water at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water<\/strong>: For my espresso machine, I use bottled spring water which tests to 3 grams hardness or less. For my other preparations, I use tap water filtered through my Brita pitcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bean storage<\/b>: Since I typically have at least a few different varieties of coffee in the house at all times, I generally keep the coffee in its original packaging, but I will store “leftover” coffee in an Airscape container for later cold brew use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
