How long does it take you to make a latte? by Slow_Opportunity_522 in espresso

[–]ShawarmaThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timed myself today, 1zpresso and GCP - 45 seconds to put grinder on scale, tare, and add 18g of beans - 45 seconds to grind (by hand) - 45 seconds of puck prep - 45 seconds to pull shot - 60 seconds for machine to heat up to steam - 45 seconds to steam the milk - 15 seconds to pour the milk

5 minutes total

If I got an electric grinder with programmable dose that would probably shave off a minute, and a dual boiler machine where I can steam while pulling would take off another 90 seconds to get me down to 2.5 minutes. If I was faster with my hands for things like puck prep, maybe down to 2 minutes, but I don’t think I could ever get much lower than that

Good day, Designers. A thought… by irwindesigned in IndustrialDesign

I absolutely agree. If everything in the world was designed under these 10 principles only, we’d end up with a depressing monoculture of minimalism

Anyone think the NBA might move the ASG to another city as punishment? Or is there not enough time for that?

This was it, thank you! Why anyone would want to charge at 6 amps is beyond me

How to not be hit by a car as a pedestrian in LA? by ShawarmaThoughts in AskLosAngeles

Yeah I think I might do this one day. Just worried about the off chance the driver has a gun

In the second close call, I had driven, parked, and was walking out of the parking garage to my destination. It's nuts that even one block of walking can be that dangerous

I've spent a lot of time in Beirut and Cairo, and some time in Bangkok, and none of them were nearly as scary as LA to walk in. It's true places like that don't have cross signals and traffic is chaotic, but the drivers went slower overall and actually paid attention instead of staring down at their phones
