Coffee is the constant on every trip. Here's the kit at home, the festivals I keep going back to, and every café I've logged.

My setup

  • Grinder: Sage Smart Grinder Pro, 60 grind settings and doses straight into the portafilter
  • Machine: De'Longhi Dedica, an older model I've had since around 2009
  • Pour-over: Hario V60 dripper (clear)
  • Mug: Ember temperature-control mug, so the second half stays as hot as the first
