    Unless you’re buying used (or you really know what you’re doing), you’ll get way better coffee out of the Aeropress than the espresso machine for that price

    Of course, the point is moot when you could make coffee just as well in a cheap plastic Aeropress.








  • For a savory breakfast, my go-to is tofu scramble. I keep my spices premixed in a mason jar so it’s really easy. Oil in a pan, crumble up the tofu, add spices and a can of black beans. If I’m feeling fancy or have veggies I want to use up, I’ll fry those up a bit before adding the tofu.

    For dessert-breakfast, (vegan) waffles with maple syrup and fresh strawberries is my Saturday morning staple.

    If anyone’s curious, here’s the spice mix I use for my tofu scramble (quantities listed are good for around 6-8 blocks of tofu):

    4 Tbsp nutritional yeast
    2 tsp chili powder
    2 tsp ground cumin
    2 tsp black salt (also called kala namak)
    1.5 tsp turmeric (for colour)
    1/2 tsp garlic powder

    Barista here, I do latte art even on the to-go orders for two reasons;

    1. Practice, it’s a lot less stressful to practice new techniques or variations on latte art when you know you’ll cover it up with a lid, so who cares if it’s messed up?

    2. It’s fun!



  • I work in a café, so I really only pay for my coffee on my days off.

    I average maybe half a pound of beans per month for home brewing, so let’s say $20 for a nice bag from a local roaster (in Canada-bucks). Ten or so dollars in V60 filters is enough to last me most of a year, so add a dollar a month. I also like checking out cafés, so add $15/$20 in random café visits, and I’d typically spend anywhere from $20 to $40ish per month.
