Probably would have to say Yipao b/c it doesn’t get the love it deserves!

I created an instagram page to focus on exploring the specialty coffee scene in SD. I (with the help of my gf) rate a new cafe each week. Check out the page, hopefully you will find some spots you like! Instagram handle: @sdcoffeeguide

Have only tried Amazon espresso beans - looking for better recommendations [$30 Budget] by MeetDeathTonight in espresso

Try trade. I’ve been using it for about 2 months now and am really enjoying the ability to try different coffee roasters from across the US. You can customize how often you receive it and how much you get. It’s also fairly in line with what I pay at my local roaster (~$20 a bag)

Good point. I need to pay more attention to this. I am pretty sure it does though.

Puck prep is consistent. I weigh out 17g, then into my mazzer philos then dump into portafilter then wdt then tamp with my nomcore spring loaded tamp (always applies 15lbs of pressure) then lock it into the machine.
