I've been lurking for a while so though I'd say g'day Hi I'm wonder, and I've been interested in coffee since staring shift work about 10 years ago (paramedic) Started after a mate made me a coffee on his sunbeam cafe series machine and grinder, I then purchased the same setup which lasted a few years. Then the bug hit.. Grinder after grinder, came and went till I got a big conical, then I pay'd the machine forward and got a small vbm jr.. 🙂 Then I became disillusioned with the local beans I was buying so started roasting my own... That set up lasted about 6 months, now I've just purchased a KKTO from Kosmo ( which is on its way with some roasted beans.. Thanks Paul ). this came about due to all my work colleagues coming around to drink and "borrow" coffee ( you can't really borrow beans :🙂) from my bean cupboard. We would go through 1/2 to 1 kg of browns every time they popped round, so I needed to roast more ( any excuse to upgrade) Again the bug has hit and I'm in the process of getting a restored vintage lever. This should hopefully be the end of my upgrades... I honestly can't see anything worth upgrading to after this. ( that's what SWMBO is hoping ) Other interest are alternative medicine, health fitness and lifestyle choices. Cheers Wonder
