I’m going to make a coffee because I don’t want to waste the last of my milk.

I also forgot to buy milk today 🤦‍♂️

At this hour? I'd be up all night.

Yeah. Guess I’m classy and insane. Was wanting to try out the new coffee blend o bought too.

@Duenan @wscholermann When you're still wide awake at 2am, you'll think to yourself: "Y'know, that was a damn good coffee" 😹

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I’m already thinking it.

I don’t know how to describe it but it’s a fruity taste explosion and it’s vibrant.

@Duenan Out of curiosity, what blend?

(We've got an old coffee machine that work was getting rid of, but I'm yet to pick up coffee beans for it. I'm open to recommendations! ☺️)

Guava, apricot, pineapple and mango

Figure out how to pull apart the group head to give it a good clean (at least removing the shower screen). All machines need that occasionally, work machines get absolutely rank.

@rcbrk Group head?

[–] rcbrk@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

The part of an espresso machine where the water passes through the coffee. Called a brew group in the automatic machines (and they can get mouldy and horrible). Should at least remove the shower screen or filter screen from the group and scrub out the old rancid coffee tar with a cloth/toothbrush.

Pouring a shot of plain water should smell and taste like clean excellent hot water.
