I worked out that I can better/ more quickly preheat my portafilter using the water from the kettle for the wife's instant coffee.
Giga brain Chad over here! Nah, my partner and I wake up at different times, and she doesn't even like coffee in the first place. I usually start preheating my machine before taking a shower in the morning, and that gives enough time for my flair to preheat. All I need to do is manually grind, start the kettle, and do my puck prep, then good to go!
It's honestly a comfy ritual, plus you get to pull a great turbo shot every morning for pennies compared to even a Starbucks, for far better quality. Does it "save" money? No, but it's a hobby I love!
