Coffee
None of the rest of this site happens without a great cup. Here's what I've been brewing and the gear that earns its counter space.
Recent brews
Guji Natural
Local Roaster Co.
Blueberry and jasmine up front, syrupy as it cools. A 1:16 ratio and a slower pour kept it from getting too jammy.
Guji, Ethiopia · June 18, 2026
Huila Pink Bourbon
Corner Coffee
Red apple and caramel, super forgiving. The inverted method at a coarser grind made it taste expensive.
Huila, Colombia · June 10, 2026
Daily Driver Blend
Peery Kitchen
Chocolate and toasted nut — the everyday shot. Dialed to 1:2 in 28s; pulls great with oat milk.

On the shelf
The kit I actually reach for. No affiliate fluff — just what works.
Hand grinder, 1Zpresso-style
GrinderThe single biggest upgrade to my cup. Consistent grind, travels anywhere, no electricity needed.
Gooseneck kettle
KettlePour control you can feel. Temperature readout takes the guesswork out of pour-overs.
Flat-bottom dripper
BrewerMore forgiving than a V60 for an even extraction. My default when I'm only half awake.
