For those who buy fresh beans: how much do you buy/have in your possession at any given time?
I try to only have one bag at a time so I don’t have any beans that stale but went to a roaster that was a little far from em so I got ahead of myself and got three bags.
I heard of freezing beans but never tried it. What is your “bean supply” strategy?
Buy fresh beans here, five bags at a time, last about 5 weeks in our home, don’t note any decrease over this period of time.
Also rate the Aldi No3 beans, they are probably a year or two old, find them just as good, my backup in case I forget to order fresh beans…
I make espresso and with some beans notice the crema is significantly flatter after 2+ weeks. But I guess crema doesn’t matter that much.
I keep one pound and that last about a month…
by the end, you can tell the coffee is not as fresh.
great set up
Hello all…
I ran into this flat burr grinder on Kickstarter…
I backed it up… reviews seem to be a solid option…

It looks stunning! I’m a huge coffee enthusiast myself. At home, I’ve got a cozy little setup that I absolutely love. And at work, we’ve got a pretty nifty workplace coffee machine that keeps everyone fueled throughout the day. It’s great to see how everyone personalizes their coffee corners.
Here is mine -
Our 11 year old Jura recently gave us an error message and shut down. There are a handful of repair/refurbishment companies who can fully refurb these Juras. Packing our up today after group ride for full refurb.
On the topic of coffee setups, does anyone have recommendations for cycling branded or cycling linked flat white cups? I currently have some Assos branded espresso cups but looking for something in the 150-180ml range (5-6oz).
If you find, please let me know… I only have an Ironman coffee mug, but it would be cool to find a cycling one.

Something like this @mathieurrr @Jolyzara?
Not sure if they have the size you are looking for or not - but I have a great espresso mug from them.
Love those!
Nice grinder.
I updated mine too.
Now I have a TIMEMORE 078s. Love it so far.
Thanks for sharing this video link.
I’ve had my Bialetti pot for a few months and have been experimenting with a range of approaches to optimise the eventual outcome and trying to get it consistently the same has been a bit of a ‘journey’ 
I can HIGHLY recommend this stuff from Handmade Cyclist.
I know Neil (the company founder) and he’s been obsessive about sourcing super high quality products.
