This is a project to improve our ability to have a decent coffee fix. | 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 already[[Equipment/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. [[User:Majkl|Majkl]] ([[User talk:Majkl|talk]]) 09:27, 26 June 2016 (BST) | |||
