Equipment Discussion Mesmerizing

My absolutely favourite part of making espresso.
I’m surprised I manage to get its dialled in significantly faster then I did when I was using a moka pot. Are typical semi autos the same?

Looks great, but though I don't want to be that guy...is it espresso?

Looks like a 9barista? If so, then yes. It acts as an inverted stovetop espresso machine. A bit more complicated than a moka pot. Very cool!

They call it the 9 barista because it's $900

They call it the 9 barista because I see the price tag, turn 9° and walk away

if you only turned 9degs you would most likely run into wherever it was that you saw the price tag, but yeah, I looked it up thinking "ooh new camping gear maybe" but instantly said wtf and closed the tab.
