I want to change my half-assed French press to a pour over directly into a large-ish insulated carafe, and I see there are different sizes of cones available, is it necessary to buy the larger one if I'm making more than a single cup at a time? These tend to come with glass carafes which I don't really want or need.

I finished restoring and customizing my La Pavoni Europiccola a while back and am still learning to pull a good shot from it. I probably need to upgrade to some crazy 600 dollar grinder but I’m not going to do that anytime soon.

I had the base cleaned and powder coated along with some other parts for accents. I had an artist friend of mine turn some wood furniture for it out of red heart. Then I rebuilt it all from the ground up with all new seals and rings. I added the pressure gauge for more control. As is I can pull a decent shot but not a great one. Hell I wouldn’t even call them good shots. But there is time to learn.

I didn’t take any progress pics because I worked on it in fits and starts for two years as I moved around the country. I was never sure what it was going to end up looking like until I got the wood pieces. The color of the wood really determined the way I would go. I’m thinking of ordering a few more and rebuilding them as fun pieces to sell. I’m really wanting to build a blue and brass one with walnut furniture.

I'm interested in trying some of the alternative-processed coffees that have gained popularity recently. Honey process, carbonic, anaerobic, etc. No local (Atlanta) roasters are doing the weird poo poo. Where should I order from to try some of this stuff?

You can't go wrong with folks like onyx, corvus, sweet bloom, Ruby, verve, tectonic... Royal mile is goon owned and run but I don't see honey from him often. Red rooster out in VA had a honey I really liked and they win awards quite often

I know Dark Matter coffee also does a lot of alternate fermentation process stuff. So keep an eye out there. At a glance they have a honey process one near the top of their list.

I pimp them all the time but my local roaster mayorga organics also sells some alternative process coffees depending on how the farmer they are buying it from processes it. Some of the micro lots from the smaller farmers are the most experimental.

How much coffee do you guys typically consume? I try and stick to two servings a day, whether it's an espresso or a pour-over. That way, I shouldn't be over the safe daily limit for caffeine.

My first coffee of the day is a double espresso. As are my second and third cups. Then I drink several cups of crappy Keurig at the office during the day, and sometimes end the day with a latte with a double shot. With lunch, I have cold unsweet tea. Don't think in terms of safe daily limit. Just stay under the LD50.

It used to be 1.3 L coffee and 8 shots of espresso every morning but now I don't drive to work on account of covid so it's just the 1.3L of coffee.

I feel like I don't ever get any "boost" from drinking coffee, I just like how it tastes. I guess I'm just drinking it for the flavour. I definitely do get the withdrawal headache if I don't drink any in a 48 hour period though.

A few cups (well, mugs) from a cafetière in the morning, a small moka pot in the afternoon if I'm wilting. e: For the hours in between, copious amounts of tea.

I use between 45-60g of coffee a day in a pour over. Usually a bit less on weekends since I only drink it for breakfast then.

30-45 grams in a cafetiere a day. A while ago I tried to do the math as to how much over the limit would bring me. I read that for drip coffee, the caffeine content of a brew is roughly 8%. But that probably varies wildly according to technique. At that percentage, 45 grams would yield about 360mg of caffeine, which is over the limit (320mg). 30g should yield some healthy 240mg. No idea how the formula changes with technique.

I’ve become extra vigilant about staying hydrated and having some snacks before my afternoon cup, else I feel like poo poo until I eat dinner.

By the way I found a paper that shows how much mg of caffeine you get in different drinks. French press has just little but more than drip filter machine coffee. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00217-013-1917-x  Later they also list the cup-wise caffeine content, where a cup contains 120ml of coffee. That cup contains a bit more than 60mg of caffeine for French press, and a bit less than 60 mg for filter coffee. In other words, their French press coffee would have a bit more than 120mg of coffee in a more normal 250ml cup, and a drip coffee a bit less than that. Note that their brewing ratios might differ from what you are using. For instance they're using a coffee to water ratio of 1:18 for their French press as opposed to the 1:16.67 that Hoffmann recommends. So I'm guessing that for French press, you're more looking at 140mg caffeine per cup with the Hoffmann recipe, meaning that two cups should be about it per day.

Two shots in the morning (or nitro cold brew it it's hot out) and usually another shot in the afternoon to get me over the 3pm slump. Once in a while a shot with dessert after dinner since it doesn't keep me up anyway.

You very quickly normalize to drinking daily coffee and most people will want a coffee to get to baseline instead of some kind of energy boost. I have had issues with sleep quality in the past and cut out all caffeine for months; it made zero difference so I decided not to feel guilty about drinking however much I want. I've never gotten much of any kind of boost from it but neither does it really keep me awake at night as long as I don't have, like, a large cold brew after 7pm.

Is it for espresso or a conversation piece? It looks like one of those french devices used to crush duck bones and extract blood.

I wanna try my hands on espresso at some point. But the main attraction is that it has a long lever, grinds fast and consistent, and I don't need to sit on the floor keeping it stable with my feet when grinding I considered electric grinders but reviews tell me that I'd need to spend a fortune getting similar quality. It would also look real nice on my counter.
