coffee

spent at least an hour today adjusting my espresso distribution tool’s needle lengths in order to accommodate 24g baskets…

so, in case you think your spouse is insane, this is what @brileigh puts up with.

Why am I not surprised that you have one of these doohickeys 😂

this is probably my main hobby aside from hi-fi, pretty elaborate setup at this point. another niche topic that I will unleash on farcaster at some point.

acaia lunar for espresso! they also make the pearl for pourover though I’ve never used it, I just have a basic Hario V60 scale.

I'm now realizing that I yeeted this cast into the ether without much context. so, here's an overview of what this gadget does for normal well-adjusted people who don't have a coffee lab at home:

* basket preparation
when preparing espresso, you're grinding beans in order to fill a metal cylinder called a basket. your goal is for the coffee grounds to be perfectly distributed such that an equal density is achieved throughout the basket. ideally, you want the resulting espresso to be equally extracted from all of the grounds.

if one area is less dense, then water will naturally flow through the path of least resistance. this is called channeling and means that the grounds in that area will be over-extracted whereas the surrounding areas will be under-extracted. as a result, your coffee will be less balanced and can veer towards bitter or sour, bright or dull, etc.
