New addition to the mancave caffeination station - Baratza Sette 30

My wife gifted me a Baratza Sette 30 grinder this Christmas, after last year’s first espresso machine, the Gaggia Classic Pro. Using the 'ol reliable Virtuoso for grinding was ok, and I could pull decent shots from the Gaggia, but the Sette 30 makes it so much easier. I love being able to put 18.5g of beans into the grinder, and get 18.5g out (usually). I did just pull the trigger on the 270 Adjustment Assembly, so I’ll be able to dial in the grind even better soon.

I think I’ve reached my level in terms of coffee gear for now. I’ve got good options for a quick cup with the Moccamaster Cup-One, and when I’m in the mood for espresso or a latte, I’ve got the Gaggia.

I haven’t tried grinding drip coffee with the Sette yet, though. I’ll be giving that a try later this week. If that works well, I guess I’ll have to take the Virtuoso to the office, and maybe donate it to replace their cheap blade grinder…

Happy holidays, all!

What is the second guitar from the left? Looks kinda like a strat but the pickups are different.

That’s the first guitar my parents ever got me - a 1983 Aria Pro IIrs “Wildcat.” Made in Japan (in the famed Matsumoku factory), it’s a Strat copy with dual humbucker pickups, and a push-pull volume knob that will coil-split either, for a good single-coil sound as well. For an inexpensive instrument (I think it was around $200 in 1983) it’s very well built. That’s why I’ve kept it all these years…
