KEY TAKEAWAYS
Being able to make exactly the kind of coffee you like is a wonderful way to start the day. You are 100% in control before the events of the day overtake you. 
Grind your coffee the night before, you won't wake anyone up and it'll still taste great. 
Pay attention to how the filter sits in the brewer throughout the brew process. Chris explains how to stop it sticking to the bottom of the brewer. 
Using natural products that have been sustainably sourced produces good results. 
You don't need expensive equipment to brew well, but it is worth investing in those items that you find improves your results. 
Don´t be a coffee snob. Explore. If it is bad, it will make you appreciate good coffee even more.   

BEST MOMENTS
‘For my go-to espresso, I do about 18 grams, and it's almost a one for one shot. ´
‘You're going to probably make that coffee better on average yourself more often than a barista will.’
‘You just want that cup of coffee to touch your soul.’
