I would say that coffee is more an obsession with me rather than an interest or a hobby.
I buy and roast my own green beans. Currently an Australian Basalt Blue bean roasted in my Behmor roaster.
The beans are then ground in my Mazzer Electronic grinder before being dispensed (18g) into a VST laser cut basket, tamped with a custom made (in Vancouver) Reg Barber 58.4mm C-Ripple Tamper.
Then the coffee is brewed (55ml in 25sec) in my ECM Mechanika IV espresso machine into per-warmed Le Crueset stoneware espresso cups.
To me ... the perfect cup of coffee.
Could buy a LOT of shaving kit for what that lot cost me! And I didn't even go into all the other coffee making kit I have (although a quick mention for the HandPresso hand-held espresso machine which travels with me!)
