The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Good morning from Chicago, and my favorite place to get espresso (The Mothership).

I’m trying to make better espresso from home, so I’m curious as to what methods you all use to make espresso at home that you love.

Howdy fellow Chicagoan. My first foray into home espresso was a Gaggia Classic and a Baratza Encore. That was more than enough to replace my forays into the coffee shops.

A friend of mine uses a cheap breville and preground coffee and is satisfied, so I think it all depends on how picky you are.

Always nice to meet another Chicagoan! Thanks for the recommendations. Will take a look!
