I, too, have gone the espresso only route. Although I switched to pea milk (terrible name) in place of dairy because I found it acceptable flavor-wise.
Mine was messier until I got a dosing cup and didn't have to worry about the grounds spilling out from the portafilter
I'm trying to think of any aussie brands I actually bother with - thought breville was your typical multinational conglomerate owned inexplicably by a media company
I switched from French press to drip coffee several months ago. Mainly because someone gave us a nice drip coffee machine, and it's simpler and makes a larger quantity at once than French press.
And because I am a true American drinking an American drink.
I had just spent a good deal of money on the dutch coffee powerhouse that is the Moccamaster KGBT, but ultimately it wasn't practical for an afternoon pick me up once things got cold.
@SeanGallardy I'm super basic when it comes to tea, I mainly get whatever is relatively inexpensive at the grocery store. We currently have Twinings and Celestial Seasonings brands.
I have very little experience with them. They’re like Sauternes, I tend to only have them towards the end of a tasting menu/wine pairing that I probably won’t remember much of 😵💫
@J.D. Cynar is interesting. If you’re looking for good stuff in that blast radius, check out Faccia Brutto bottles. They make a bunch of things that are all really good.
@Vérace on Sunday I met a greyhound from Ireland - since US tracks are closing down I guess the US adoption groups are trying to help out those on the other side of the Atlantic.
