--- Quote from: vad on November 01, 2020, 08:30:52 pm ---To my taste, espresso and espresso drinks are the best way to enjoy coffee. Making espresso requires a good commercial espresso machine, freshly ground beans and good barista who will not mess up with the process and the temperature. This is something that is hard to come by here in New England. I really miss Melbourne coffee shops and cafes. At home, I find Nespresso to be as close to espresso as it can get, without commercial equipment. Nespresso’s Arpeggio is pretty good.

When I brew coffee I usually blend about half Columbian and the other half either Espresso or French Roast.  I actually bought a bunch of these ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BF83S8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and I measure out 45g of coffee beans for each of them so I can go a couple weeks without having to measure anything.  Get's me about 3 cups at a strength that works for my taste most of the time.  I could up that to, maybe 55g or even 60g but coffee isn't cheap -- I guess I spend about $24/month just on beans at 45g per pot (3-cups).

Its true about coffee, I used to drink a ton of it a day meaning maybe two pints per sitting at least twice, and it was strong lower haight street coffee. Now I have to go really easy on it. I had one late this morning, much earlier today and now its bedtime and my stomach acid is way too high to go to bed now. If I lie down now, I get reflux, I had too much. Dont do what I did and drink too much for too long

Now I also have to drink mild, like guatamala antigua is my favorite coffee, grown on the slope of a volcano
