Mr. Fred 🔥Straight up espresso shots today, out of my favorite cups. ☕ #showmeyourcoffee https://foo.sx/media/mWRS6esyFCPWRRTtTKM
SlowRain Has Moved! See below.@SlowRain thanks! They are Bialetti branded, not sure if they're official. Bought them in a small hardware store in Tuscany. Espresso out of my Breville BES870 ☕
@fred Where do you buy your beans?
@SlowRain hehe local coffee roasters in Portland!
How about you, how are you making your coffee?
@fred I do #KalitaWave, #Aeropress, #HarioV60, #FrenchPress, & #espresso with a #LaPavoni. My grinders are a #Pharos & a #Lido 2 from #OrphanEspresso. I roast my own #coffee on a #QuestM3, but I'm not as good as a good professional roaster, just cheaper.
#Portland should have some pretty good local roasters. Has there been any change in #Stumptown after their acquisition?
@SlowRain which La Pavoni?
Stumptown isn't bad but has certainly outgrown its small scale appeal. I prefer the smaller places here, but I do think Stumptown is the best coffee at PDX airport for instance.
@fred It's a PRH. Here's a link to a pic I took on Mastodon.

Has there been a drop-off in quality at #Stumptown since they were bought out?
@SlowRain oh beautiful. I have almost the same La Pavoni machine, in silver. I don't use it much anymore because it's hard to get a consistent shot out of it, sadly
@fred That's a fair assessment. But I'm a sucker for punishment.
@SlowRain haha, I love my Pavoni, and making coffee for myself it is not so bad, but for anyone else, they get sad / confused if I have to pull 4 shots until I dialed it in enough to make it drinkable ;)
