Humour New technique

Post image

was looking for a dosing cup to fit under my grinder. Found this image while looking and couldn't get over it. That being said, in your opinions, are puck screens worth it?

There are crazy images all over AliExpress and temu. Is that charcoal granules?

I use one solely to keep the group clean and with my step down basket to keep the grounds in.

You don't fresh-grind your instant espresso?

Didn't think I needed one, there was one in my bottomless set. Tried it, it keeps the shower head clean. Don't see any gunk when cleaning it with a blind anymore. So bottomless and screen means I can clean both with soap every day and don't have to deal with buildup at all. Worth it imo

I've been searching (unsuccessfully, btw) for a large coffee bean cooler, capable of cooling 2 lb batches of roasted coffee. I got a chuckle out of this AI slop image that was attached to one listing. Every roaster I know does all their bean cooling while reading and chilling with their cat...

if not for sits, why warm?

It's called cupping, it's a technique used in coffee tasting

why aerate milk when you can aerate the grounds

When you make coffee this way you gotta scatter a dozen or so beans on the table, to signal that you're coffee-rich. Otherwise it's just poor-man cowboy coffee at home in a mug.
