The best coffee is the one that you enjoy the most, and if that means taking Decaf for the sake of more sleep, and a happier G-Dog, then it's worth it. Anyways, a happier you, means you get to enjoy those espressos and flat whites more when you get the chance 😉.
What appliances do you use to make that coffee? I don't suppose you're an at-home Barrista ☕😀? I've been meaning to try out a Moka Pot someday, before going to a full-on espresso machine yet.
You Aussies 🇦🇺do know a lot about coffee, second only to the Italians 🇮🇹...
Hey mate, a happy G-dog makes for a more happy planet! Lol.
I have a Delonghi Nespresso machine but also use instant coffee sometimes. I also have an Italian coffee percolator, similar to the Moka Pot, but mine just goes on the gas stovetop. I also have one of those to take camping...Nothing like a great espresso made on a campfire!
I have to say, the Nespresso unit does a great job...I think the benefit is you know what you'll get...It's repeatable. Also, I make a great coffee in the percolator as well...Loads of practice.
Coffee seems to be a national pastime here these days.
So, you are a barista 😆. Great to hear that you like your coffee as much as I do, and hats off to you for using a stove-top coffee brewer. I heard its easy to make mistakes with those. I'm always curious about Nespresso pods. I've never had the chance to taste them before, but a lot of people say they taste great.
Convenience and consistency all sounds rather neat 😄, though I'm curious about the running costs of buying those pods... At least there's plenty of flavours to choose from!
