This week I received a few of the pieces I ordered for my travel coffee station—Fellow Stagg X and a Varia EVO Hybrid Grinder. I also ordered the Outin Nano Portable Espresso Machine which is still in route from the manufacturer. Keep in mind these items are for when I travel and need my espresso and pour over fix (sorry can’t do the Starbucks thing). Well today I made my first pour over using the Fellow Stagg and the Varia EVO, (using the electric wireless option of the grinder), and wow!😱 It tasted fantastic! The flavor notes were bold, crisp, not overly acidic, and the perfect balance of sweetness. The coffee I used was “Flying Jewel” by Utopian Coffee. Notes of berries, sweet cream, and cocoa—light to medium roast. I looked at several different electric hand/portable electric grinders and finally decided to pull the trigger on the Varia. I liked the burrs (38mm Supernova Burr set) and the option to hand grind if I choose. The portability, which is what motivated my purchase, is perfect. So far I’m satisfied with my decision. Now let’s see what I think about the Outin Nano when it arrives!🤣
