Re: [RBW] What Do Riv Riders Enjoy As COFFEE !

[rltilley]

I have a number of coffee devices here. I work from home but on work days I just use my Cuisinart drip machine. I grind beans daily in my Sette 270 grinder. On weekends I use my Rancilio Silvia espresso machine. It is at least 10 years old and still pulls great shots. I have my eye on a new espresso machine that is a double boiler but I’m not ready to put down the $$$ for it yet. Camping I use a VSSL hand grinder and grind beans for use in either an Aeropress or my Wacaco Nanopresso. Both work great. I also have some Nespresso pods I can use in the Nanopresso if I’m feeling lazy.  I have a new VSSL pour over kit I need to test out still.  Too little time these days… Robert Tilley San Diego, CA Sent from my iPhone On Feb 2, 2025, at 6:33 AM, Garth <garth...@gmail.com> wrote: I remember when we used to have such discussions, so as I was making soome this morning I was wondering just that. "What do Riv riders enjoy by way of coffee ?"  I'm a tinker-er, I'm always trying various combinations of things. Coffee lends itself to that wonderfully ! This AM I made some using a classic aluminum Bialetti Moka pot and preheated water. Bustello Espresso ground coffee, the one in the bright yellow brick-like bags. Currently, I'm enjoying it with hot frothy milk. I prepare the coffee, then in a pan I pour some whole milk and a heaping spoonful of whole milk powder. Heat it gently while whisking it into a frothy delight. When the coffee is done and settled a bit, I pour the coffee into the milk as I whisk away. O M G ..... such sensory delight ! You can't buy such goodness. (Sometimes I add a touch of honey, but not always.) I've tried this half&half and pure cream but frankly I like whole milk plus whole milk powder better. I enjoy many other coffees also, anything of a dark roast. I prefer whole beans, but Bustello rather changed my mind about pre-ground coffee as I seal it after each use with a locking belt/strap. It tastes fine down to the bottom of the 10oz. bag, unlike some whole bean coffee which do not(12-16oz. bags). I use an Orphan Espresso Lido grinder, a most unexpected gift !  I saw Aldi sells another brand(El-something) with similar themed packaging as Bustello, and it's just as great.  What do you enjoy for coffee ?  -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
