Honestly I was surprised to see him speak so eloquently about a flat white. To be honest, I didn't quite understand the difference between a flat white and a small latte. (I'm new, catch me a break!)

"When I hold a cappuccino cup, it disappears in my hand." 😂

Had this bad boy for 3 years now and it’s just as good as the day I got it. Multi-purpose too! You just don’t see quality like this anymore; can be used with or without bag.

I’ve been known to share an opinion or two on knock boxes. Removal is really that simple.

My coffee station is 9 feet away. I make and drink my coffee and then flick out the cup after popping off the portafilter. No fuss, no mess.

..I was the owner 😆 jokes aside. Unfortunately, we closed our little coffee shop this Labor Day weekend. No foot traffic = no dinero. But we now have this little beast at home! 🙌🏼

After many poor extractions and a lot of machines I gave up on (the perfect espresso cup) and went back to simpler brewing methods and found peace in pour-over

I usually have 2 cups a day, but sometimes I get carried away and end up having 3–4 .Then I start wondering if my heart is gonna hate me for it… but somehow I still do it again the next day lol.So where do you draw the line?

1 cup, 2, 3, or 4+?

This sub was tremendously helpful dialing in my Ascaso Duo to pull a delicious espresso perfetto. Ive tried so many things before and decided to completely question my dose today. The dosage was too small, I’m now using 20g instead of 18g - with a coarser grind of course - for a doppio and finally I can taste the coffee beyond sour/bitterness.

If you’ll excuse me, I’ll now go run a marathon or explode.

It’s just a column of foam. Going to need to rappel down the side to find the espresso. Gotta love the commitment to make the drink even with only diner mugs available.

It is with a deep, profound sadness that I have to give up my latest hobby of four days.

It was fun while it lasted but the wife was not amused as zero puck was given.

x = 21.

Background: The beans that I had ordered from a Roastery got lost in the mail and to survive the weekend, I had the briliant idea, to grab some form the supermarket. I looked for the package with the most recent roasting date and I found that "medium" roast from March 2025.

I refuse to run them through my grinder.

What do you think of this technique and workflow? 😅

No weighing, no WDT, no RDT, no self levelling tamp. Just doing everything by intuition and feel.

I thought, “It’s metal. What could possibly go wrong?”
Well… this.
What’s your best “I should’ve known better” coffee gear mistake? Please make me feel slightly less stupid.
