Do you have a go to system for coffee in the morning, if so what is? What tools do you use? What do you want to change?

Wow that is some exact measurements. You awake enough to do that in the morning? :D

I'm all about the stove top mocha maker... which I guess does involve fire... have burnt arm hair a couple of times.

I struggle to make a good cup with a mocha maker, always get it too hot. Measurements are easy if you just make everything on a scale.

As in burning your coffee? Something that has helped me is using hot water in the bottom chamber. Seems to really help me at least.

I have read about some people pouring cold water over the bottom after it's done, sounds like crazy talk to me though.

yeah tried the hot water technique, just never really got a cup I was very happy with. Might acquire mocha pot again at some point though and experiment.

For science!! :) I do have my aeropress too which I love, but just find the mocha maker one easier to use now and less faff.

Actually one of the best ones I have found is an electric one, that does it all for you. I don't have one myself but have used a friends and it makes it very consistant everytime. Pricey though... at around £100.

And there's one crazy one on amazon that also grinds your beans for you... that costs 6k!!!! Sheesh.
