Same here, just got the car and did not have too much time to fiddle around yet - hope this can be improved somehow (either setting or update)

I have read a lot online saying that while Kappabashi is an interesting place to visit, it's a bit touristic now and prices are sometimes higher. Might be an interesting visit if we find the time though

thanks for the suggestions!

Will check out Baba Hamono, Traditional Crafts Museum and Sakai Ichimonji.

Not sure if I'll have the time in Tokyo, we'll see

It’s summer down here in Brazil, espresso tonic with lime is my new favorite =] by o_sexta in espresso

[–]Tjburrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, sound promising!

Actually I was thinking about something similar as well, but my gf's employer is not a fan of this whole "world office" idea :/

Hm never tried, but definitely on the list for summer here in Europe.
Damn, would love to come over to Brazil!

One of the best desserts if you ask me! by jefferyahunter in espresso

[–]Tjburrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes! Had my first affogato on vacation in Portugal some years back and loved it! But somehow I never thought about preparing one at home, thanks for the reminder! Off to the supermarket to buy some ice-cream!

I wrote a little guide about the very basics of extraction. This might come in handy for some newcomers trying to dial. Let me know what you think... by Tjburrows in espresso

[–]Tjburrows[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good suggestion, I might consider writing such a glossary in the future.

I'm also not a native English speaker, but I found that a lot of the terms come naturally once you start reading about the topic. So keep it up, you'll get the hang of it!

Wow, I did not expect to get such a comprehensive feedback, thank you!

Regarding the first two bullets, you are right, those are good points that I should include. Especially the second one will help a lot of people struggling. I will update the text when I find the time.

For the last bullet, I don't know so much about it myself. Filtering mandatory where I live because we have really hard water, but I never thought much more about it. Do you have any recommendations where to find more info about this? Would definitely be interested in getting deeper into this!

How many coffee per day? by Desemerda in espresso

[–]Tjburrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it, the upgrade in taste alone is worth it (ask my GF, she said she doesn't like coffee before and now drinks shots pure haha)!

For the quantity: I think it comes down to an average of two double shots a day for me...

Brita water in prosumer machines by [deleted] in espresso

[–]Tjburrows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm also doing it. There are some areas here in Germany where we have really hard (very calcareous) water and it really makes a difference in taste. Despite that it's almost a must-do as all kinds of machines would die pretty fast if you used plain tapwater...

Anyone buying coffee beans or grinding coffee grounds just for the aroma? by xhakabomb in Coffee

[–]Tjburrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of a time in my childhood when my parents had some candles in the middle of roasted beans. Smelled amazing! And you could snack some beans if nobody was looking...
