I personally use a lever espresso machine and a hand grinder, but I also love a V60 pour over or an aeropress on occasion. I like lighter roasts and pulling 3 to 1 water to bean shots, personally!

I’ve got a Bambino mini espresso machine. I like my beans as dark as night, when they’re so roasted that they’re starting to get oily (my wife says this indicates the beans have spoiled but she is wrong). Four double shots into the mug effectively making an Americano.
