What Jamie wrote
I greatly enjoy my coffee and this article mostly gets it right. It is pretty simple.
- Really good beans.
- High quality grinder.
- Electric gooseneck water kettle.
- 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.
