    Good Coffee

    So, first off, I'm a huge fan of good coffee, but this was my first time making coffee completely from scratch. I've been wanting to start drinking coffee in the morning, but I don't like having too much. I'm more of a one cup ever person, because I'm really strict about my caffeine intake, lol.

    Great espresso despite questionable freshness

    I drink espresso daily. I grind on a Rancilio Rocky and pull on a Gaggia Baby Twin or Color depending on mood. My benchmark for coffee is usually fresh shop roast or micro roast from local NJ or NYC coffee shops.

    Great Espresso Beans

    I've been starting my day with a few shots of espresso made using my Saeco Super Automatic espresso machine for many years now. I've experimented with many beans over the years, and it's been hit or miss (some are good, but are just too oily for my machine). My "go to" bean right now is Lavazza Super Crema.
