Great episode, people give me grief about my obsession! Chemex, fresh med-coarse grind, 3 stage pour, 14-1 ratio and 205 degree water. I love Ethiopean coffees in the Summer and more robust the rest of the year. I prefer natural processed coffee over washed, I like the funky characteristics of the coffee, less predictable. You might enjoy James Hoffman's channel, it's a coffee nerd must, learned so much. I love vinyl too of course, they both have wonderful soothing rituals. Cheers!

Great video, Mazzie. Quite an impressive set up. Here’s another coffee song…”Black Coffee” by Humble Pie. ☕️

Ah Coffee and Mazzy in the morning. It doesn't get any better. Cheers Mazzy!

Growing up a poor Italian kid in western PA. My parents would perk a pot of strong coffee. I can still smell the goodness coming from my parents kitchen. Thanks for the memories. Sinatra was a nice touch.

Good morning Mazz, I’ve been into Italian espresso machines for about the same time you’ve had your rancilio. The two passions parallel themselves so much. My previous machine was a fiorenzato that was plumbed in like yours. (Do you have a filter on the incoming water line?). I moved 6 years ago and decide on not going with the plumb in so I bought a Lelit Bianca that has a reservoir. The interesting feature that it has is a paddle valve on the group head. It allows you to vary the pressure so you can adjust for an infinite “recipe”. I’ve become one of those light roast fans and the paddle really allows for maximizing the light roast advantage. Well , I’m babbling like I did with you on Rachel’s show back in January when I discussed the importance of VTA adjustment in maximizing the audio from vinyl. Parallels of passions. Best always great job. Tony

James Hoffman is the Michael Fremer of coffee. So depending on your point of view, you’ll be well informed. Great coffee movie. 1989s QUEEN OF HEARTS about an Italian family migrating to London to build a life and they bring an enormous espresso machine as their centerpiece in the cafe business that will support them. The pressure valves on the machine are a metaphor for their struggles to survive and adapt.

I "only" have a regular Moccamaster but I can't function without at least two big cups in the morning. Well I can, but I don't want to! Next up: Pancake Time with Norman!

Great video, Mazzy. We recently visited SF, and I loved the vibe of North Beach. I understand the roots of your passion!

I love the wide range of setups with coffee nerd-dom/snobbery. I'm fully manual here (after the electric kettle, that is) with locally roasted beans, a manual burr grinder, and a French press. People love to hate Starbucks? How about Dunkin Donuts? They're the danged coffee kudzu around here (downeast Maine).

Peggy Lee's *BLACK COFFEE* original UK Mono is one of the LPs I've kept in the 7-foot tall 1970s revolving record rack. I find if I revolve the rack a minute or 2 first, the album sounds better.

Made in Italy still resonates QUALITY BRAVO Mazzy

And I always thought we in Austria were Experts in Coffee

Great video and The Coffee Song. Nice👍🏼

No coffee = 3 hours of me being as *grumpy as hell* & sleepy. ["Only the Lonely" LP = good Scottish Single Malt whisky drinkin' music, esp. The Macallan & The Balvennie]. Cheers from Japan, Mazzy! (Scotsman been here for 27+ years & counting...)

We visited Seattle a few years ago and the Starbucks Roasterie was a completely different experience. Definitely better.

I wonder why I enjoyed this video as much as I did…. 🤔😉

Mazzy, we miss you over at the morning show!

Sinatra and coffee! I like your style, Mazzy!

I was expecting Blur’s “Coffee and TV” but no, another frickin’ Sinatra song!! 😜

Thank you Mazzy for your great take on music and coffee. Tried the Graffeo dark roast after watching your previous post from KZfaq and was extremely happy with the choice.

We love a good coffee, but hardly ever drink more than two cups a day. Still we never regretted having bought a proper espresso machine, in our case an ECM Heidelberg. It's just a thing you don't need, but makes life a bit more joyful. I remember that we once got coffee as a gift from a friend also with music references. Just can't remember which. And also we got a white wine called The Cure. As we just have one bottle, we haven't tried it yet. Enjoy your coffee.

I percolate at home with locally bought beans in the morning. Living in Melbourne it's a coffee mecca for espresso & anything else you could possible want except Starbucks. Who needs caramel in a coffee. Have a goddamn milkshake instead 😂We're one of the few places that Starbucks doesn't have a stranglehold on the city. You'll find it in the 'burbs shopping centres but not in the inner city areas. We have a big Italian community running cafes so it's very difficult to find a bad coffee. Cheers...Ben PS There's even some decent record stores down here.

Hi norm hope you’re putting that book to good use..love the Beatles photos 👍

I love a dark roast, black, Peets on Cole often have a good drip daily selection ☕️👍

I know some coffee songs. Black Coffee in Bed by Sqeeze. Nice machine.

Why not ask, Why are so into music Massy??? 🤣😂🤣

Great video, I'm more of a light roast pour over guy but I love coffee

Fantastic video.

I only have the patience to scroll down so far but I couldn't see any comments pointing you to James Hoffman's You Tube channel. It's massive. And very interesting, if you're into coffee. I always liked your videos where you make coffee and then go and chose some music to listen to. Would be cool to see more of those.

Nice touch at the end with the one & only Frank Sinatra......

Coffee Black - Fat Freddy's Drop. Well worth a listen.

During this video you mentioned that someone had sent you 2 books. How can I arrange to send you something please?

No shame in being a coffee snob. You like the good stuff. Enjoy a primo cup of coffee while listening to a primo country tune, Roy Orbison’s Cigarettes and Coffee Blues as sung by Lefty Frizzell.☕️

*Promo Coffee?!*

Mazzy, what kind air purifier do you use? I was thinking of buying one my home.

I miss being able to walk to Graffeo for my beans.

Good morning, cheers!

Not planned, watching this episode at Starbucks, Valkyrie plass in Oslo 🇳🇴🤓🇳🇴 Thank you for the coffee and Sinatra Mazzy.

Also, back in the day, iced coffee was hard to find. They would throw ice into hot coffee. NO!!!!

Malo has a song called “Cafe”, Latin Rock and Cafe ☕

Coffee and frank …………

Add me to the list…..How is Coffee Dave? A really fun friend!

They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil!

You just combined my two pandemic obsessions: coffee and records. James Hoffman has a great KZfaq channel. I recently unsubscribed to most of the vinyl people I subscribed to a few years ago, because it was just more and more FOMO. Kept you because you’re more of a vibe.

Hey Mazzy, do you have a dust cover that you put over your record player when not in use? But I'm also assuming you don't get a ton of dust in your house because of the air purifier? I live in Salinas and I'm only about 6 blocks away from the lettuce fields so I get a lot of dust in my house. Right now I have the Audio Technica LP120 and I always have my dust cover on it. But I'm asking because I'll probably be upgrading sometime in the future to a Rega P6 or 8.

Not a big dark roast fan at all, speciality light roast coffee is definitely my preference

If I had a machine like that I would probably kill myself drinking coffee all day!! Nice!!!!

Give me dark roast, for sure!!

Drinking Peets French Roast as you speak.

Coffee makes people ugly. Ooh…

Speaking of coffee, how is Coffee Dave...?

You like charcoal coffee and that's okay but don't call us hipsters for liking good quality coffee

Zzzzzzz
