Alot have changed since I dived into speciality coffee, but this is where I am currently with my setup.
Started with a Profitec Go and a Varia VS3 gen1, but I ended up upgrading to a Lelit MaraX v2 with flow control kit to have more control and a WW Key grinder (both secondhand but in very nice conditon).
I also made my journey into pour over with a Fellow Stagg EKG kettle and a Lagom P64.
I used to have alot of space for my coffee equipment – so much that I had room for a “service station” where I could fix up secondhand Rancilio Silvias and flip for a small profit.
However, becoming a dad meant that a relocation of the coffee station was necessary. This has resulted in a more convenient location, however with significantly less space. Made space for the essentials with a shallow drawer under the table.
Time is also more scarce now and coffee preparation is somewhat based on the mercy of my son. So I ended up selling my MaraX, and with the money from that I bought a Ascaso Steel Duo PID. The fast heat up time and volumetric dosing is a huge plus for my current reality.
I also found that my time for faffing around with pour overs was limited and needed something to make it easier to serve coffee for guests. So I ended up selling my Lagon P64 and bought a Fellow Ode v2 and Fellow Aiden instead.
I’ve traded a little quality and control with ease of use and speed – and I don’t regret it one single bit 🙂
Feel free to ask questions 🙂
