## What Jamie wrote

I greatly enjoy my coffee and this article mostly gets it right. It is pretty simple.

1. Really good beans.
2. High quality grinder.
3. Electric gooseneck water kettle.
4. Dripper like a V60.

It is also worth noting that for not that much investment I think you can get 95% of the best drop coffee at home. Even if you invest thousands and thousands of dollars I think you can at best get an 80% espresso at home. I leave espresso to the professionals.
