@Schmendr1ck @CraigT78I will admit that I've tried it both ways
Looks like a long black.
I like a clean iced coffee - it seems like an Americano would be too oily when cold. Do you find this to be the case?I’m a big fan of the iced Americano. That’s an entirely new layer of heatheness.
I do not. I make a shot, add water (about 3:1 ratio), then add the ice to preference.I like a clean iced coffee - it seems like an Americano would be too oily when cold. Do you find this to be the case?
I'll give it a try!I do not. I make a shot, add water (about 3:1 ratio), then add the ice to preference.
Mess around with different types of shots if you’re not thrilled with the initial result. I actually prefer longer shots when I’m making iced Americanos. This was initially spurred on by laziness since I can just pull the shot directly into the glass/mug and let it run out, but I also found I prefer the taste. Along the same lines, experiment with the shot:water (and even ice) ratio.I'll give it a try!
I should also post a picture of my bankroll graph. Funny enough it's gone in the opposite direction of when I was drinkingWhat is the world coming to when @CraigT78 abandons the "Your Beer of Choice" thread and is about to start a "Your Cappuccino of Choice" thread?

No, I win regularlySo....you don't run in god-mode when you drink cappuccino?
But how will you ever feel the thrill of spiking a one-outer if you never put your money in bad?No, I win regularly

If you start posting pictures in this thread, I'm blocking you.This whole thread is ripe for urology jokes and I have been restraining myself. Uncharacteristically, I might add.
That sounds good, and I'm in need of more caffeine today.Back on topic, I am a fan of red eye coffee. Espresso spiked regular coffee. That is all.
+1 - jokes are fine. Pics from a urologist? No thanksIf you start posting pictures in this thread, I'm blocking you
My players always ask for espresso martinisView attachment 133464
Anyone else pulling shots for your players?? Usually it’s a beer-fueled night, but last game I had more than one person ask me to fire up the machine some time. So next game I suppose I’ll oblige!
That is one of the best moka pots, and I assure you 8 of 9 players couldn't tell the difference. I have a Yoder (instead of a fancy espresso) but I could do just as well with a drum and wood on a brisket.Oh wow, that is a nice setup! When my players ask for espresso drinks, this is all I have to offer...
Their customer service is one of the primary reasons I picked up a Baratza (Encore). I was hand-milling my coffee previous to this and when I started working from home I realized I needed something faster.small digression..
Barratza Vario-W came to grinding halt after just 2 years. ( I think it was my fault using frozen beans which I no longer do)
Sent it back in the box $119 later, came back like new.
Barratza company highly recommended.
Leonard, how do you like the Niche Zero? I'm extremely tempted to upgrade from a Baratza Vario. Seems like it is in stock, which is rare.View attachment 870086
I think I may have posted this before, but here's my relatively new Decent Espresso machine with Niche grinder. Pardon the mess. Espresso is messy. It' like working with brown powdered sugar.
I got the Decent because it's cool (android tablet control), and also because it's supposed to be pretty easily user repairable. I have had other machines over the last 10+ years and when the break down (which they will all eventually do), they are difficult or impossible (and very expensive) to get fixed. My La Spaziale weighed 70ish lbs. Not an easy thing to ship for repairs.
I like the Niche very much. My previous grinder was a Vario-W which was fine but much less consistent with the grind than the Niche. It is relatively quiet and has worked flawlessly since I bought it in (checks email) November 2018. As a result my shots are more consistently very good to excellent.Leonard, how do you like the Niche Zero? I'm extremely tempted to upgrade from a Baratza Vario.
