What's your coffee making style? (aussie.zone)

Are you a fan of espresso, cold brew, aeropress? Do you try new beans and roasters regularly, or stay with what you know and love?

I generally prefer filter coffee (with a re-usable filter, no oil sucking paper!) or plunger, but currently have only the plunger because of lack of space. A good syphon can also be supurb. I've also started roasting my own beans - I'm definitely a long way from expert, but am getting pretty solid results and am am slowly improving.

Latte maker here. Invested in a Gaggia classic pro over Covid. Paid for itself in a few months. I buy preground beans from colesworth; what ever has the prettiest package. I know I need to hit up a boutique roaster at least but I never find the time.

Are you using pressurised baskets with the pre-ground coffee? I strongly suggest investing in a grinder and grinding your own beans. Then you can start using the non-pressurised baskets. It'll be the next big leap up with your more than capable machine.

Also, don't fret about trying to get out to a boutique roaster. There's plenty of places you can buy online now. I found this site that you can buy from several roasters (mainly Melbourne based): directcoffee.com.au
