LOL Archived Message Posted by Sounder on December 23, 2024, 10:51:42, in reply to "I'll survive" My last Avanti's experience was pretty rough. Also, Peoria has actually good coffee shops now, so there's signs of civilization. I think that I am just now coming to the realization of how much different Bartonville is over the Peoria experience overall. I still don't like either, but Peoria is reasonably nice, while Bartonville is just a pit of despair. It's really funny going from my parent's house in Bartonville to my sister's McMansion over by Grand Prairie. Previous Message We can agree to agree on the following things Bartonville is gross Avantis is overrated Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message Have an electric kettle, stainless steel french press, and grinder (with hopper) that I've been using for quite some time mainly I'm looking for suggestions to do espresso drinks, and would be willing to spend a bit on something that lasts. Have a moka pot in the cabinet that I've used a few times. I absolutely refuse to do anything involving k-cups, pods, etc. Message Thread: | This response ↓ What is your coffee set up? - ijustkrushalot December 23, 2024, 9:51:27 Morning: Breville Precision Brewer + capresso Burr grinder - illinibone December 26, 2024, 8:50:47 Ode w/ gen 2 burrs, pouring kettle, V60/Hario Switch* - ECEIllinois December 24, 2024, 13:23:56 Ninja Hot & Cold Brewer. - Dilbert December 24, 2024, 12:18:26 Have Phillips 5500 Fully automatic coffee machine.
