COFFEE TIME - My Morning Workflow

A lot has changed since my last coffee routine video back in April 2020, so I figured it was time for an updated version with my new espresso machine, grinder, and a few other small tweaks to my barista workflow like the static reducing RDT and the clump busting WDT.

[@Poor_Wayfaring_Stranger]

people who don't like coffee prep gotta understand this is like owning a record player instead of using spotify it's a hobby and people do it because it's fun

[@kristopherbansil7251]

in a way, it also helps me relief stress lol

[@Poor_Wayfaring_Stranger]

@@kristopherbansil7251 it's a slow activity that needs and breeds patience everything runs very fast nowadays and slowing down if even just for a few moments every morning can never hurt

[@theocritus2677]

Agreed and actually the tools he used was pretty simple since he didn't use porcupress, ocd, and paper filter/puck screen

[@kristopherbansil7251]

@@Poor_Wayfaring_Stranger exactly my thoughts, people should enjoy the prep and love the process

[@kyndigvellanti]

It's a morning ritual with many devoted steps in the persuit of perfection. It takes discipline and going through the motions is relaxing. You can enjoy espresso anywhere and quickly, but there is a sense of fulfillment I think only people who make their own can understand, and satisfaction when done well. Also a daily level of insanity in knowing that this mornings cup can be made better tomorrow, if you had just tamped better / ground finer(or courser) / or hadn't let the grouphead get so damn hot! Are my beans getting stale?...

[@andreibicu5592]

Each item from your gear seems well chosen and with high attention to details. You put a lot of effort and spared no money. I love your videos. All the best!

[@Sprometheus]

Thanks Andrei, I appreciate the kind words and for watching. Cheers!

[@mrjdolman]

This is a man who has a real passion. One of your best videos ever :)

[@Sprometheus]

Thanks Jack! I’m glad my passion for coffee really was showcased in this one.

[@shawnsgear]

Agree Jack! This a fantastic video Asa!! How are you liking the MP?

[@thru_and_thru]

Yeah passionate about spending as much money as possibly on coffee equipment 😂 But clearly passionate about coffee too 👌

[@hoskoned]

That nervous pulse when the latte art pour creates good B-roll but you don't want to screw it up😂

[@Sprometheus]

That was just a happy accident, I just loved the song and it all fit together so well for the vibe.

[@hoskoned]

@@Sprometheus love it! I get that way too when something forms other than a nebula.

[@sqrmap]

What track did you use? I think the music fits well and it's much higher quality than most background tracks on YT.

[@ryansmurda1552]

Just bought my first espresso machine, so I've been watching a lot of videos and learning about all the different gear and techniques for espresso. It's really like a form of art as much as it is enjoying a coffee. Enjoy your videos! Cheers!

[@thestudio.coffee]

Great video, its always fun to watch how people develop their own coffee making practices. At our coffee shops each of the staff have their own styles when they open up for the morning shift. almost like watching them in a moving meditation.

[@EggyPlayz98]

It has become a routine to watch this every morning, beautiful video. I aspire to be like you someday!

[@OrionRox]

Beautiful! I have a Breville Barista Express, prep coffee every morning become a routine for me, it's so relaxing and meanwhile focusing.

[@danielf_swe]

Thanks for sharing! That’s what I call a perfect extraction! 👍

[@harrisharris6969]

Fantastic video. Fantastic beat. Fantastic coffee extraction. :)

[@caffesien]

So satisfying to watch

[@paulinoll1739]

Poetic, emotional, exciting, inspiring. Thanks for this beautiful video.

[@Etagii]

Hey man, enjoying all of your videos. You are the reason for my Rancilio Silvia Pro X in the kitchen. Thanks and don‘t stop creating content.

[@gilad_rubin]

Gorgeous. And truly satisfying 😊

Nice! More videos like this please. Very relaxing to watch with great music :)

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you! Happy to see such a warm reception for videos like this!

[@o0tosci0o]

awesome, great work 🔥

[@Httcsprings719]

I watched this 4x on repeat because this all I really want to be doing in life... 🔥

I could watch this on loop. :)

[@wilkin52]

Should’ve been the dullest video ever… loved every minute - cheers 🍻

Coffeegasm 🎉

[@lgxiii]

The lighting is wonderful! Very professional shooting btw. 👍

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you for the kind words my friend!

[@daniel635biturbo]

Very beautifully shot, and a nice shot ! Nice to use the natural light from the window, kind of envious since here in Sweden I don't see much of it on weekdays now in the winter. (Dark between 16:00 - 08:00) ALSO, I really like the fact that you are showing a 6 bar shot, I have for a couple of years had my machine set at 6 bars. And I feel more shots comes out really good, and at 9 bars, it's really easy to get channelling especially with high density coffees.

[@tiffany5071]

Such a great video! I hope you plan on continuing to make this type of content. Music was on point too 👍🏽.

[@daydriper]

Beautiful video!

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you Miguel, thanks for watching.

🥰Its A relaxing time

[@Altroante]

Awesome video! Keep up the good work man :)

[@akselerant]

Romantic of coffee

[@theoperrin9653]

can't wait to stick this on the tv when someone asks me to add my song to the playlist at a house party

[@Sprometheus]

Haha yes, this song slaps for sure.

[@CoolJay77]

Great videography, besides great coffee making.

[@joshualeigh6417]

This is simply one of the best videos I’ve seen here on KZbin. I’ve been consuming KZbin content since the beginning. Especially now in the midst of AI and chat gpt taking over. Thank you.

[@Sprometheus]

thank you! Thats very kind of you to say, and I hope to be making more videos like this regularly.

[@ThePlayahans]

Very nice music.. great video, would not mind to see more of this in the future 😊

[@mericlis]

Espetacular!

[@Sprometheus]

Gracias, amigo!

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

I barely have time for regular coffee…so a Breville pro is my jam. Still better than any coffee shop in my town. I wish I had time to be an enthusiast.

[@johngilman760]

Spro be my main man! Dynamite video!

[@kristianlilley8161]

Beaut as always

[@nomadsolos]

Nice video - you do great ones! That said : Your workflow is good but I find filling the reservoir is something to be done before bedtime. Also when I wake up the first thing I do is go to the kitchen and throw the switch to my Ascaso Machine. I then go about washing my face and other morning duties before returning to the kitchen with a (by now) hot group and portafilter.

[@neeshrvlogs]

i can definitely smell it

[@A2AStudios]

Nice!

[@Sprometheus]

Thanks Jerry!

[@GustavoSanchez64]

Hey! That's my local roaster. Been buying beans from them for years and they're the one of the very few roasters in San Diego that specializes in light roasts mostly.

[@Sprometheus]

They do a great job, and San Diego has a lot of solid roasters other than them too.

[@KrishnenduKes]

That is actually a tutorial! Also, such good macro lenses.

[@Sprometheus]

For sure, there’s some knowledge to be absorbing in the workflow. Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@macehead]

So nice.....

[@classicrockonly]

0:42 fresh coffee? I see how it is, BRAD

[@LogenProof]

Coffee and tea collective have awesome coffee. Staff is awesome as well Go San Diego!

[@Sprometheus]

Agreed! One of my common stops and the staff for sure have it together!

[@LogenProof]

@@Sprometheus How does the 6 bar taste? I'm at 9 and can't change it, so I do feel a bit too much of acidity on that specific blend. Looking for other places that know the craft. Any recommendations would be great.

[@antoniokozmas9916]

Is it just me or do I feel like I’ve just had a session of therapy 😅 Loved this!

[@Sprometheus]

It’s not just you! I’ve been watching this all week before putting it out because it just hits so well.

[@antoniokozmas9916]

@@Sprometheus more of these please! 🙏

[@coffeesomething]

that music!!!

[@itsroblaw]

i think what wouldve made this video 10x better is if it were an ASMR style video without the electronic music! could be fun to toy around with that style :)

[@darkmann12]

Fucking beautiful camera work. That was a joy to watch

[@sultanniazi2394]

Lovely. Maybe a better idea to let the machine / group head water flow into a reservoir so avoids the water mess and clean up tray part and steam into a towel as well.

[@volodymyrpetrov9677]

Can you please make a video on preinfusion in general? More time, less time, what will it affect and how?

[@jononthejourney]

Some of the best caps I have had used clover milk 🐮🍀

[@Sprometheus]

It’s a solid brand for milk. I go back and forth between Clover and Horizon.

[@sully1296]

Clover has the best billboard signs as well.

[@lowhangingvegetable]

Haha when you had the shot looking down into the bag I though "wish I could smell inside that bag" then the little message pops up to rub my nose in it further

[@Sprometheus]

Haha it just smelled so good. That first whiff in the morning can’t be beat.

[@MrKent84]

Excellent video presentation. Excellent music selection. Now... where was the coffee from?

[@leroythecoffeegeek4611]

Three questions: 1. Had you already opened that bag of coffee? I would hope it was heat sealed when you got it. 2. Is the lever for the steam a bit of a nuisance to use or do you get used to it? 3. Why are there water drops on your window? I didn’t think it rained in San Diego.

[@mihairadu7235]

Great video … especially that I have the same setup right now :) I wanted to ask you what is the temperature you set on the machine? Personally I like the most my light roast around 91deg Celsius, the measured extraction is still very high, EY around 22 for 1/2 (using paper below, puck screen on top). Many thanks and keep doing these excellent videos and reviews. Btw … I was very happy with ur Ditting LS review :) I had it for few months and I told everyone how not sweet espresso is from this grinder despite everyone loving it …

[@Dubya1886]

Love it - do you have a link for the cup you measured your beans in?

[@tezzanewton]

This is funny cos it’s exactly the same as my routine except for….. The music is METAL 😂

[@whoami724y]

Just curious, do you use coarser grind for low pressure pre-infusion like you did in the video than the usual steady 9 bar pulls?

[@Ullke]

Hey spro! What's your shot time, yield and dose for this? Looks great!

[@stygal1487]

something small as a question, what is the little steel dosing cup he used?

[@hinze55555]

it‘s the yoga in it : )

[@philippvent9496]

Great Video, as always. 👍 Keep up with your work! May I ask which kind of matte you are using below the grinder, tamper etc. I am searching yomething very similar for my setup .. 😁

[@Bendysser]

And then the coffee puck can wait in the porta filter until the next morning 😂😂

[@SkY95179]

This music is MINTZ - The Blue Jay

[@persianwingman]

The music is very Trentemøller 😎

[@Sprometheus]

Not sure what or who that is, but I thought it was definitely a vibe. 🎶

[@thiagob.6412]

I'm not sure if that's a random bg but I like that song 🎶☕️🗿

[@greenleafcook]

what mugs are those ? love them

[@slamming]

Your video production hitting new levels. Curious, why do you pull at 6 bar? I assume that is linked to the 15sec pre infusion?

[@Tobias-ok9jp]

Really nice video 😍 one question: you're using the WPM for a long time, is this the best jug you've been using? Is it worth the price? :)

[@ecnctggc]

That was a really nice and relaxing video, thanks a lot! PS: you either have several good quality cameras, or you pulled several good quality espresso shots for this video 😉

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed! And just one camera, so had to do some extra work to pull off the continuity.

[@junjieyu9283]

There should be an asmr version of this

[@Sprometheus]

I actually planned on doing this ASMR style, but the mic was always picking up this light fuzz and it was driving my perfectionist nature crazy so I added music to cover it haha.

[@BrianYN]

I thought 9 bars was the gold standard for espresso. With 6 bars do you change the grind of the espresso so it is coarser? Also what bean to water ratio do you do?

[@allen.t]

Beautiful video! What would you say your average latte workflow time is usually?

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you. I’d say about 2-3 minutes. My fridge and garbage can are in the other room so there’s some walking back and forth haha.

[@yz249]

No filter at the bottom and no puckscreen? I thought you said you liked them as they increase extraction.

[@gmartin0312]

I got my GS3 MP, do you find the IMS screen is a great improvement over the LM? Also, do you typically profile your shots at 3 and then stop at 6 bar? Not 9

[@joecoppola4459]

The screens really don’t do anything other than cost more money. You have 9 bar of pressure built up on the puck so water doesn’t flow like you think under that pressure. The pressure evens out any areas of dispersion

[@Jaroslav.]

No no no no no no, we want the Micra today. 😄

[@Sprometheus]

Well you can thank La Marzocco for sending it to me with literally one day between it arriving and release

[@Jaroslav.]

But at least they did, and that's nice. And so we wait ☺

[@Sprometheus]

@@Jaroslav. yep, and I think with the onslaught of reviews likely done on the fly, I’d rather take another week and come at it with a perspective that no one else has as a Mini owner for the better part of a decade. So it’ll be worth the wait

[@Jaroslav.]

@@Sprometheus That’s *exactly* why I’m excited for _your_ thoughts!

@@Jaroslav. thank you, and I can’t wait to share them!

[@cedh8518]

Nice video! What are the name of those cups?

[@joshalaniz3801]

What dosing funnel do you use? Is it the same brand as your WDT tool? Or different?

[@whomstthouamme2155]

What cup is that, i really like the look. Better yet, what can i search for that style?

[@KalajengkingHitam]

detail please? coffee bean weight, milk volume etc

May I ask what dosing funnel you use? The ones I found on Amazon are not as deep as yours and reviews say the magnets are easy to fall off. I couldn't find anywhere obvious you mentioning it. Thank you!

Yeah, that one comes with the Option-O P64, you may be able to buy it separately I’m not sure. But it is the best one I’ve seen or used.
