I drink a lot of coffee every day, so I went through this whole evolutionary search process:

1. First was a Keurig fan, until I went through so many keurig pods in a day it got nauseating. Also all that plastic waste didn't sit well with me. Even tried filling a refillable keurig pod for a while, but then that got tedious with all the cleaning. The machines always start leaking eventually. And the coffee never tasted very good, even with fresh ground.

2. Then went on a search for the best drip machine. Went through many, even a few expensive ones. Never made great coffee. And the constant prep, buying filters, and cleaning sucked.

3. Bit the bullet and finally bought the Philips espresso machine. I've had it for over a year now. Best decision I ever made for coffee. Very little prep every day, but wow, makes amazing americano and espresso. Push a few buttons and done. And with bag beans I'm still coming out cheaper per cup than with drip machines.

Though at first I thought I had gotten a defective machine, because I didn't know that you are supposed to toss the first 3-4 cups it makes while it initializes and calibrates (I thought, wow, this coffee is so weak and diluted, is something wrong here? Lol). But after that it got really great. Also I agree with you about the cleaning regimen, I do a complete machine cleaning every 3-4 months. But so worth it.


I've personally never bought into the notion that plain black coffee would increase one's cholesterol. It certainly hasn't increased mine, and I drink roughly ~6-8 cups a day. I'm calling baloney on that.

Does anyone here also like 3D printers?

I made a Zangief (Street Fighter 6 version) , scale 1:10 on the resin printer. I still need to adjust the fit of the pieces and paint....




And also a Tyrannosaurus rex skull,  this was made on the FDM printer... I made this one for my daughter:



Really cool detail: it glows in the dark 

The price she’s a ripping. Sadly I had to part with some BTC today to get myself a new shiny refrigerator, I mean truck. I don’t see myself selling any more until next Spring now. Maybe a little at $100K, but then I’m strapped in for the ride to the moon. I think sometime in the next 8-15 months we’re going to see an ATH that will melt faces.

One more faulty quote
Words that should rest in silence
A for you too

Here's a cheap alternative, very Italian too, that never fails to make excellent coffee, situated somewhere halfway between espresso and americano. I suggest keeping one handy if you want coffee during a blackout.

Coffee ☕ make me restless I mostly take it when have much research to make I don't blink my eyes 👀 either. That is to show is actively working on my system.

make green tea anyway you normally do.

I usually boil 60-70 oz of filtered water then poor it over 8 green tea bags.

I let it steep until it is stupid strong tasting. I  then add a little bit of powered monk fruit for sweetness. (safe for diabetes) plus monk fruit gives a citric sweet taste

Put it in the fridge over night. And ice cold green tea for a day.

only 2k to go for the 10k God Candle.... go go go

I'm too tired already  
I wonder which price i will wake up to, tomorrow.
Go, go, go, good night!


Like iced green tea?
Great idea. I have some dried Benifuuki leaves lying around in a bag somewhere here...
How do you do it, exactly?

I also like green ice I make 64 oz at a time then ice it in the freezer.

Helps a lot with my diabetes and tases good.

62k keep up the coffee talk guys it is working

Ain't nothing wrong with that.
A coffee maker once told me, that all machines are worth shit when it comes to deliver the character of coffee. I use mine for convenience, mostly for whole milk Lattes, so the character doesn't matter that much. Here, the taste of the milk is way more important. Real coffee farmers do roast by hand, grind by hand and pour hot water from the kettle over it in tiny, thick glasses (like a whiskey glass, but ordered at "Wish" ). They wait for the coffee to settle and sip it after a minute or two.  
The same coffee maker got me a cotton-pad machine with italian coffee-pads, which was "the best coffee you can get, without much hassle", because i fixed some of his computers for free and probably because i was dating his daughter. He maybe also tried to help me get away from filtered and machine-coffee for good. I used this for almost a decade, and i was a regular guest at the factory, where i got the most intense coffee served, every time, for free, fresh from the roasting machine.

Rarely, i do espressi using a coffee cooker, which uses low pressure, high temperature steam, by just being put on a stove. I like them with equal to a little less of cold milk. Very strong.
If i want iced coffee, i set up a liter of cold brew with beans, coarse grinded by hand, for 24 hours. It's working well (caffeine wise), and the taste is a bomb. It's the only type of black coffee that doesn't give me stomach discomfort, but most of the time i mix it with 1:1 - 1:2 milk and one or two icecubes, using a stainless steel strawl.
Whenever i used the frech press/pourover, i added some crumbs of Cinnamon and/or Cardamom, but more like filtered coffee it's on the bitter side of the coffee "spectrum", while it's less acidic. My wife introduced me into this type of making coffee. Before that, i used the french press for tea only.


Some thoughts on this:
"Paper" towels are typically not pure paper, there is stuff in them you don't want to have in your coffee.
There are sheet of filtering fabrics, originally for making syrup, which you can use. They should keep most of the aroma, while getting rid of crema.

The crema-info you provided is interesting, i will follow it soon.
(Blood-) Cholesterol has been said to originate by various sources, but many of the theories have been proven wrong over time. If troubled, add Serratiopeptidase (a fibriolytic enzyme) to your diet.
I also came across some research that was investigating Cholesterol as a biomarker for inflammation that causes blood clots, rather than being the cause for arterial clogging. Didn't follow it, though.

American coffee... i always asked myself how to get a coffee so weak that dark. However, less bitter.
Starbucks roast is too strong, and strong roasts contain more Acrylamide than light roasts, and AA seems to be able to cause cancer. Hands off!


I suggest we'll either recover to sub $70k levels, when the market grasps that the recent "crash" was just a shakeout of weak hands and a hunt for late longs.
Either that or Bart. (down to $55k-ish)

61k looks very good.

maybe we go higher soon.

Ease of use = select drink, press start.

The cleaning is not terrible. The waste water tray and puck catcher and a few small parts get washed in the sink. The brew group gets thoroughly rinsed under water and the machine gets a damp wipe down. This is supposed to be every two weeks (I may not be good about that). Every now and then, there's a few spots you're supposed to lube. There's a decalc process too but I use RO water so have skipped that so far. There's also the milk frother but that gets cleaned often anyway because milk.

Where it shines for me is cappuccinos and lattes at the press of a button.
