Espresso machine: Gaggia Classic Pro
Grinder: 1ZPresso JX-Pro, Eureka Mignon Specialita
Basket: IMS Precision

I will mod my espresso machine at some point to have a PID.
I mostly make espresso drinks, but also own a Phin coffee brewer. It brews a very full-bodied coffee that resembles drip coffee.

Coffee Roasters

Personal preferences: don't like acidic beans, prefer a medium roast. (*) Indicates I only tried the single blend/bean. Also in no particular order:

Del's Coffee: 8/10 - Generally good.
Blue Bottle: 5/10 - Hit or miss, but the Hayes Blend is consistently non-offensive.
Intelligentsia: 5/10 - Generally okay all around.
KLVN: 6/10 - Hit or miss. Highline is pretty good, but I do not like Alta Imabara at all.
De Fer Coffee & Tea: 7/10 - Nice decaf, others seem consistently nice.
* Honor Coffee (out of business, Crown No.1 Blend): 9/10 - Impressive light roast with toasty notes. Not sure if roasted in-house.
Coffee Tree Roasters: 7/10 - consistent roasts, mostly non-offensive.
Ritual Coffee: 6/10 - It's alright, nothing special.
* East Crema Coffee (Blue House): 6/10 - Pleasant.
* Fabrica Coffee Roasters (Kerinci): 7/10 - Pleasant. Would like to try more of their roasts.
* Syra Coffee (Santa Fe): 6/10 - Tasting notes not very distinct, but pleasant.
* Kawa Coffee (Bolivie-Manco Kapak):
* Fève Coffee (Essentiel Ethiopie Cooperative Haru): ?/10 - Don't know how to rate drip coffee.
* Victrola (Triborough): 4/10 - Tastes burnt.
* Mechanic Coffee Company (Modulator): 6/10 - Seems alright? Needs more testing.
