I‘ve taken to drinking more great Australian red wine!
I had a beautiful Shiraz last night with visitors I cooked Paella and Basque cheesecake for, and a Pinot and a Cab/Sav with family who descended on us for a pizza night, tonight. Not sure if my headache is the wine, or the 5 screaming kids 
Still start the day with an Espresso.

Could just be dehydration.
Nah. Fluid intake more than sufficient.
It was the kids - at soon to be 75, my screaming kids tolerance level is near zero. (Love them all, but the screaming….)

At 64+, screaming kids has long been my killer. Love ‘em and all, but please shut the hell up.

I rotate between the Italian moka, Turkish cezve, French press, and American drip. I am going to experiement with some of the other styles as well.
If I need a caffiene hit fast then French press is the way to go.

Thank you for the video. Very interesting. I can subscribe what he says, apart for heavily disliking the red Lavazza and finding Kimbo just so-so. But this brand comes from a different coffee culture than in my area, so I may just not be ready to appreciate it immediately.
I agree that I would prefer to find Illy in a cheaper packaging; luckily, it is relatively easy to find it in some trendy bars in my area.
There are so many roasters in Italy, that it is impossible to do even an overview. The reviews focuses on the most common popular brands, and a few local brands from Rome, Campania and Calabria. But each town has its own flavor.
Something he omits is Ethiopia as the origin of the best arabica you can find in Italy. The beans in the blends I prefer come from there.
