Took many years to arrive here. Drip machine, Press Pot, Stove top espresso, then to a super auto, Rocket heat exchanger and finally landed at the double boiler. Gotta love the jouney. Just enjoy the process of making espresso ( or any coffee for that matter) every morning. Here is my bench setup. My go to bean for espresso is Gran Miscela Carmo Espresso Blend. Check it out here
