This is a project to improve our ability to have a decent coffee fix.
Goals
Minimum viable product: a decent cup of espresso.
Real aim: we should be able to get pretty reasonable milk & espresso based drinks.
Challenges
- the coffee machine isn't so reliable - probably because it gets limescale?
- we don't have a decent tamper for pressing down the coffee
- we don't have a decent grinder
- don't know where to get decent coffee
- not the right gear for doing milk stuff
Planned ideas
make or acquire a tamper
make or acquire a grinder
Maybe we can find a cafe that's closing? Actually making a grinder needs very precise machining of two big lumps of metal.
improve coffee machine
We have a nice machine alreadyEquipment/Gaggia Coffee Machine but it has some problems
- it's difficult to put water in - need to stick a handle on the top
- it seemed to get clogged up - probably limescale - need to clean & debug
I have an old machine it might be worth attempting to repair so we have a spare. I'm going to bring it in and see what can be done. Majkl (talk) 09:27, 26 June 2016 (BST)
