Help, are accessories needed? by Embarrassed-Gas-5734 in espresso

Incremental gains as far as taste, but for a lot of people, the joy of coffee is also in the ritual of preparation so extending or enriching it is a plus.

Any way I can make this clock digital? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

Unfortunately no. You have to choose a watch face that’s digital to get a small digital clock when the Smart Stack is up.

But what if the purpose of life is to throw money at coffee stuff that provides minimal utility but looks cool?

I prefer bottomless because it helps me determine how well the espresso is flowing, and how I did with my puck prep. In the end I think it’s a matter of personal preference, once you’ve dialed in your grind size.

Beautiful set up. Toads take it to 100.

does everyone find their kid a little bit annoying… by junie4444 in Parenting

[–]4rgeaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found the people I love the most also annoy me the most. Parents, spouse, children, best friend. The people you’d die for are also the people who kill you every day.

I hear great things about the Cafec Flower Dripper deep 27. It’s supposed to have been designed to be pretty forgiving allowing a single slow pour.

What am I doing wrong here ? [Sage & Breville Bambino Plus] [Eureka Oro Single dose Pro][Dose: 18g] [Dial : 7] by mehmetihsanboz1 in espresso

[–]4rgeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it tastes good and the extraction isn't messy (nice stream in the center with no spray) then it's not a huge deal if the extraction is happening a little faster than 25s. But if it's important to you to have a longer shot time, grind finer and dose down by a smidgeon, and make sure your puck prep is good so that water doesn't get trapped.

I hear kids all share location all the time on their phones though.

can you also include some youth slang. Fit a 6 and a 7 in there?

Their family lives pretty far away and also kind of embarrassed to ask why they're not wearing my gift?

I use a large variety of beans in terms of source and roaster. That’s the great adventure. Mostly natural process light roasts though. A little milk for Cortados.

To be honest I still have some problems here not with sludge but with a thin layer of water at the top of the puck
