coffee

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.

My mans has a beaker and a microscope 

This isn’t a hobby, it’s a laboratory

He’s not holding back anymore. I’m here for it. 

The gentleman has proven time, and time again to be of great taste. 

These things can’t be ignored.

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.
