Get an Italian piston coffee holder machine they said. It will be fun and 'the best coffee' they said.
Sure eventually when you have this Italian situation all figures out, honestly this machine can produce the best coffee there is around. But before you acctually get there, that is a whole different ballgame.
First in getting the type of beans correct that you actually like, that already is a big challenge. Because there are so many different ypes of beans, and you want to end up with the one that gives you a consistant result.
And then the second part is that it is not only about the bean in there, but also dependent on what you do with the bean in the proces. The humidity indoors, the amount of seconds of grinding, and how finely you grind the bean it all ends up very specific.
That is only the bean part of it all
Then comes the Italian job
Not to be all prejudiced with Italian designs and all, since ofcourse the are the godfathers of espresso. But when you look closer to some Italian produce, you notice a lot of that the exterior looks fantastic, but there are some serious flaws inside of there.
What I mean by that is...well let's look at it this way.. This is surely not the first time that the coffee machine has looked at his througout its life. Yeah exactly, when it is in pieces because something is not working at all. Usually this involves something like a circuitbreaker to burn throught and no heating will work anymore.
And as that is again this time. Now sure, you could bring this to a specialist guy, or try fumbling for yourself for a bit. Electronics is all about circuits and loops in the end and this is nothing different of it at all.
Regardless. It does take some time and effort to get the exact part that is needed and that means the waiting game has started for that.
Different coffee, no foaming milk in the morning (no cappuchinos after 10.30 AM otherwise the Italian consortion will kill you and send you down the game of thrones stairs to atone forever
These are the moment just when you realize exactly how addicted you truly are to your coffee which is kind of scary sometimes. Not that I will have like physical withdrawl from it (my colleagues will totally disagree on this), but the idea of a coffee in the morning just really makes me shamelessly happy.
That means it was time to get old the good old camping coffee worker which also does a pretty good job in forfilling the short term needs. Sure this isn't the Italian style going on there, but for the current job done this is exactly what you need.
I couldn't be more happy with the camping device!! At least my black liquid gold is back in there!
Holey moley that looks like a complicated machine. It looks like you've got a multi-meter in there. The Italians do not excel at electronics, as anyone who has driven a Fiat can tell you.
But wow I can smell those pictures from here. Now I need to get to bed so I can wake up and have some coffee!
Haha this feels entitely like FIAT issues indeed, I totally should have expected these kinds of issues. Luckily it is 'just electronics' which is always fixable.
The coffee is sublime though!
😂 Been there! Dialing in the bean grind is a quest. Worth it for that perfect cup though! ☕🐎
