Every evening, before going to sleep, I clean the coffee machine. It's a habit, almost a ritual. In a way, I remove the traces of the day that has passed, as a form of closure. On the other hand, I get everything ready for the next day, for waking up and the daily adventures.
Somehow, the coffee machine marks the passage of time, and cleaning it is a sort of anchor point.
@stefano Here’a my Italian Silver Machine from AMA Milano. Had it for many years. My dad got it as a present during some IBM conference in the 80s. It has enough steam to make my daily morning latte. I’m using it every morning and I truly love it!
@andersgo this is a true masterpiece! And its longevity shows it's well built
@stefano it's interesting to me that what in Scandinavia is an espresso machine is just a "coffee machine" in Italy. Here's what one might think of up here ☕
For espresso, I use an EspressoGC from https://rok.coffee/ -- it's more work since you grind coffee and boil water yourself, but the minimalism and "will last forever"-feeling might interest you, and I personally enjoy the ritual.
@linus yes, in Italy coffee == "espresso" || coffee == "moka"
I wasn't aware of the EspressoGC, it's a nice idea!
@stefano j
I have known them all, already,
Known them all;
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons
TS Eliot had your number, Stefano.
@stefano I love these little parts of life.
@golemwire thank you. Those are little pieces of our daily lives and those make our life what it is
@stefano what machine is this? I am using a Zuriga at home and am looking for a more economical one for the house in Umbria as a Bialetti just doesn't kick it for me…
