are we also coffee connoisseurs? Or wine enthusiasts?

I have a manual Flair espresso maker. Dumped my ascaso when it broke after a year. 

after work, a glass of citrusy Chardonnay or local IPA will complement Van Morrison like a charm 

I buy whole roasted beans from Peets and grind them in a Baratza Vario.  Then brew in a KitchenAide pour over brewer.  Very fine results.

As for wine - - I prefer reds and generally buy whatever's good and cheap at Costco.  This evening I'll have a bit of Monte Oton 2018 - a very nice Spanish garnacha.  Hard to go wrong at $6.89/bottle.

whaaaaa?  you all don't start your mornings with tequila???  whaaaa?

@rshak and whatever you save on Costco wine, you spend it on cartridges :)
