Aside from my PhD, I am what one could call a coffee geek, continuously trying out new beans and playing with the many variables that impact coffe flavour.
My current setup is :
DF64 gen2 w/ SSP MPv2 burrs
Kingrinder K6
Sage Bambino
V60/Hario Switch
Aeropress
I usually get my beans from Kawa coffee, Deep coffee or any local roasters if I am traveling. Current water setup is the Rao/Perger recipe and Rao/Perger for espresso recipe provided by Jonathan Gagné, coupled with a Zero Water pitcher
Photography
While I certainly lack the artistic talent and vision, I enjoy going out trying to find enjoyable sceneries and pictures to take. Most of my pictures are a mix of street photography, architectural and portraits style photos.
My current setup is :
Fujifilm XS-10
Fujinon XF 27mm 2.8 WR
Sigma XF 56mm 1.4
Nikon FE2
Nikon 50mm f1.8
Tamron
While I enjoy film photography, the cost makes it unsustainable for me as of March 2025. I do hope that costs will come down in the future since I believe the way we take pictures using film camera is very different than with a digital one.
