Inclusive of all drinks not just coffee. We even have some hummingbird nectar up top for our little wild friends.

Stagg Pro Studio. This guy coffees.

I will confess I mostly bought it for the wooden handle. But it’s a dream for pour overs. We had a bonavita but it crapped out after like 6 months.

Ditto. My only issue with it is that the top can be impossible to pull off when it’s hot. If I want to refill I often have to let it cool.

Also please ignore the 90’s boomer special countertop. My only shame in this pic, lol.

Nop, love that countertop. (I'd pick another colour for the wall though, to have it stand out more)

[–] almar_quigley 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My spouse thanks you for this comment because they “fucking hate that color”.

Glad to be of service. ;)

We have a green wallpaper on the walls in the kitchen. I thought it would be to dark with northern light, but it looks nice. Here is a picture before we replaced the blue kitchen cabinets with a beige set with black counter top. (mess, as it was during the work) Works here, but we have light from the window and lighter cabinets.

First thing I saw was the Campari. Have you tried an iced coffee Negroni/americano? Super delicious. Iced coffee, vermouth, Campari. I also found that aperol in iced coffee went pretty well.

Otherwise, I love this setup! Moka pot, espresso, liquor cabinet. It’s all there!

[–] almar_quigley 2 points 2 years ago

Oh my partner would love the Negroni Americano probably, thanks for the recommendation! I drink mostly Moscow mules or wine if I drink at all. I’m more of an edible person.

What is the machine on the left?

[–] almar_quigley 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Coffee roaster. Hottop specifically.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it easy to roast consistently from batch to batch?

[–] almar_quigley 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

With this one yes. You have really good control over everything and it can connect with a computer to be controlled by artisan software.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I didn’t know that artisan existed. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Looks like a roaster

I love my Breville Touch! I’d be curious to see if I could notice any difference between that and the Oracle

[–] almar_quigley 1 points 2 years ago

If I remember correctly the oracle has auto grinding and tamping as the main feature. Not sure what else it’s got above the touch but this has been a god send during Covid.

Oh! I love it! I want to do something similar in my living room. What's the size of your countertop?

[–] almar_quigley 3 points 2 years ago

It’s 5.5’x2’. You should totally go for it! When we bought this house it was the first time we had anything like this and it’s so nice to keep all the drink stuff together. Plus it clears space on our kitchen counters.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Do you roast there or move it outside when you want to roast? The smoke seems like you wouldn’t want it in a finished space without some serious ventilation.

[–] almar_quigley 3 points 2 years ago

I bring it over to my stove but also throw up a box fan at the closest window to help control the smoke.
