The 5am setup

  1. 1

    Whole beans from the list above

    Grind them per cup. Beans are best within a few weeks of roasting, so buy small bags and buy them often.

  2. 2

    A press by the kettle

    An AeroPress or a pour-over cone takes two minutes and leaves nothing to descale.

  3. 3

    Set it up at bedtime

    Fill the grinder and put the mug out the night before. At 5am the only job left is boiling the kettle.
