    I order from gocoffeego. You can search by what she likes. My personal favorite is an Ethiopian from klatch roaster, but they were out when I ordered on Sunday.

    Got the cafe open. Using a Nuova Simonelli Aurelia II espresso machine, plus pour overs, cold brew, and drip. All brewed with a direct trade Peruvian that is amazing we get from a non-profit. If anyone is ever in Orlando come by.

    Have an aero press. Love it.

    I can honestly say I am not just a snob, I am a cunt about coffee

    Nitro Cold brew is for the elite

    Pour overs - prefer Indonesia or Ethiopian Beans

    Starbucks is for the poors

    I'm the opposite of cunty these days as we get more kids. I brew in a 10 y/o Krups combo espresso/drip with Seattle's Best #3 blend. :( I'm not a total heathen, so I do descale every couple months.

    I consider myself extremely cunty when it comes to coffee. A corner of my kitchen looks like a damn coffee shop with obnoxiously large espresso machine and grinder, etc. Hell, I used to roast my own beans (still do occasionally). But, most professional baristas are literally in the top 1% of 1% of cunts. Some can be really friendly and helpful but far too many make you want to murder them.

    Yeah I hate that. We really stress that if someone wants a drink a certain way, make it that way, no matter your personal opinion. For doing some pretty high quality stuff we have been able to keep it approachable.

    Understanding the business side of coffee (i.e. that people paying for the drinks are what pay your salary) is lost on too many of the "artists". Sounds like you are pushing a good balance which is great. I am in Orlando several times a year for work (mostly in the Winter Park and downtown areas) so I will have to check out your shop. Is it in the same space with popsicle shop?

    Made a "cappuccino" today with the French press today. Used the same amount of beans, but halved the water. Then I heated up some milk and frothed it with the press. Turned out pretty well I think.

    I have the capresso infinity. Depends on what you want to pay, but this seems like the least expensive viable option. The sweethome has a good comparison on them.

    I have an 8 cup Chemex. We live in Manhattan so something small and quiet would be great. Preferably stainless steel.

    $100 to $200.

    The Baratza line has some good options in this range. Short of the vario line, the main differences lie in the bells and whistles.
