COFFEE TIME - My Morning Workflow

[@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?...

[@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 👌

[@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!

[@EggyPlayz98]

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

[@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!

[@OrionRox]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@paulinoll1739]

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

[@FPVSPRO]

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.

[@FPVSPRO]

@@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.

[@harrisharris6969]

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

[@andrewpiper2880]

Great little vid..with some funky music. Loved the coffee cups!

[@Heyneighbourcoffeeroasters]

This is incredibly accurate. The gs3 will always be calling for water in the morning 😂

[@wilkin52]

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

[@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.

[@caffesien]

So satisfying to watch

[@AlexOsh]

excellent! beautiful process and light

[@sebna]

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!

Bro’s morning workflow is my work day

[@ritaweygint4038]

Lovely precision❤

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@CoolJay77]

Great videography, besides great coffee making.

[@tjamesolliver]

Amazing video!

[@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.

[@twistedscience9248]

What track is that playing in the background? Love it

[@Sprometheus]

Hey! The track is The Blue Jay by Mintz

[@twistedscience9248]

@@Sprometheus Thank you! Great video as usual 🙂

[@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.

[@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

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.

🥰Its A relaxing time

[@KrishnenduKes]

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

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

[@stygal1487]

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

[@coffee3470]

do you get better results with the nano-shower?

[@Sprometheus]

I did a video on this a little while back, I found the difference to be minimal, but it does produce a nicer more even flow, and also cleaner shot to shot, and over time.

[@whomstthouamme2155]

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

[@johnnyyacoub8772]

I love relaxing videos like this, I need to make a new one since getting my P100. Do you use a macro lens?

[@Sprometheus]

For sure, I do too. I know it’s not really what people come to me for but it’s a nice break for me while I really drill down on those more focused videos. I don’t use a macro, I want one though. I’m just using the standard that comes with the Canon R6

Wondering if you're still rocking the SoCal Crystal Geyser water? I've been using it for awhile just a pain to restock the gallons.

[@Sprometheus]

I am. I switched to distilled and Perfect Coffee water for awhile, preferred the taste by a small margin, but found scale in my mini after 6 months so switched back.

[@Komputiker]

@@Sprometheus Ahh good to know. I've been finding CG most consistently on-sale at Vons here in san diego ~$1/gallon but never know when it jumps back up to $1.5/gallon

[@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 :)

[@xdelphi89]

Nice video! What music is this?

[@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.

[@traderjoe27]

What’s the size of the cup you made your drink in?

[@Sprometheus]

Thank you! Yep, that’s the 15oz pitcher and a 5-6 oz cup. Essentially those pitchers are designed for steaming for that amount. There a measurement line inside that I often pour up to.

[@borjalpze]

Really? I mostly drink flat whites and been looking for a new pitcher for a while now. I was about buying a small one for steaming and a larger one for pouring. I think I will give your size a chance! Thanks!

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.

[@erikngomez]

Curious what your average preinfusion time is here as well as your 6 bar shot. Loved the video but wanted just that little detail.

[@Sprometheus]

On average I’d say about 15 seconds, a slow roll to 3 bar, once the face of the basket is full and starts to drip ramp up to 6 bar for the remaining time.

[@erikngomez]

Nice! So the shot was multiple for the video but almost real time. Going to try your method out with my flair 58 :)

[@Maroonight]

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!
