Hi Guys,
Firstly id like to give my compliments to such a helpful and inviting community on here. I recently travelled to melbourne and on my trip I visited several cafes and one place i went to - BBB - changed my entire opinion on coffee. It was incredible! I had never heard of the place before and actually walked in after visiting a little furniture shop just up the road. Anyway the point of my story is that my interest piqued so much that I decided to start trying to understand anything and everything i could about coffee. I am obsessed!
Prior to this I had a Breville espresso machine with the pressurised basket and no grinder that was given to me from work. After reading through these forums I decided to get my self started up with a slightly better machine. I ended up choosing the sunbeam EM6910. I understand that it will not produce the same quality espresso as a silvia but i am happy with my purchase as it also came with the cafe series grinder which has had fantastic reviews on this website.
Now I want to start learning the ins and outs of coffee and it seems that there is so much to learn that i have no idea where to start. So like any person who develops a slightly unreasonable obsessive compulsive attitude toward something, I began my venture yesterday by making coffee after coffee with beans bought from ELIXIR in WA. So much so that i was twitching in my sleep last night!
I feel like i should probably slow down and start with the basics so any suggestions on what the best way to begin is would be fantastic!
Cheers
Keith
