They have this text here on the window at my favorite Espresso Bar called Cremano in Bundang in Korea.

Espresso @infosec.pub frank @sopuli.xyz If you got to start all over ....
We're moving to Denmark from the US soon, and are going to be (of course) selling our 120V setup and buying a whole new one. It's pretty exciting to be able to re-shop for things.
We currently have a Profitec GO and a Eureka Mignon Silencio grinder. I'd say my big want that we don't have is having warm water from the espresso machine easier to dispense (without small grounds in it) to pre warm cups, to make Americanos.
Either way, if you had the opportunity to do it all over again, would you change anything?

Do you guys, who have a espresso machine at home, really want to drink a espresso late in the evening, or night for that matter?

Espresso @infosec.pub AdamEatsAss @lemmy.world The Price of Coffee: Results
A follow up to my survey posted last week. Thank you to everyone who responded. Hope you enjoy. I have some ideas on how I could follow up on this with additional surveys, so if you want to see more let me know.

Espresso @infosec.pub AdamEatsAss @lemmy.world 
I was inspired by Hoffman's survey on the state of espresso to create my own survey about the price of coffee. I grew up thinking all coffee was the same then I had "good" coffee and realized it was worth it to pay more. Please take a moment to respond, if I get enough data I'll post the results and findings.

Espresso @infosec.pub AdamEatsAss @lemmy.world Modified Monday
Added a pressure gauge, pump dimmer switch, upgraded steam wand, and sawed off portafilter to my cheap DeLonghi a while ago. Works good enough and definitely learned a lot about how espresso machines work. Let me know if you'd be interested in a guide on how to perform the pressure gauge dimmer switch mod.

Espresso @infosec.pub AdamEatsAss @lemmy.world Do people actually like milk drinks?
Latte art is all the rage for social media, but do people order them for the taste or just the clout? At home I find steaming milk annoying and then it just feels like I'm sitting down to a glass of hot milk when I'm finally done. What are other people's thoughts? Do you like milk drinks? Do you make them at home?

Espresso @infosec.pub RedFox @infosec.pub Recommendations similar to Crema e Aroma - Whole Bean Coffee | Lavazza
www.lavazzausa.com Crema e Aroma - Whole Bean Coffee | LavazzaCrema e Aroma is a whole bean coffee made from carefully selected Arabica and Robusta beans. It's a creamy coffee ideal for your milk-based recipes and preparations.
I like this bean. It's smooth, and I usually like roasts with chocolate notes.
I'm also cheap. This is around .50 cents US per once.
Do you have a favorite bean that's medium/smooth, and also in the .50 range that can be ordered online?
My local roasters are all around a dollar per once and I haven't found anything that was so good, I couldn't go back to this for half the cost, so I do them as a special occasion.

Espresso @infosec.pub SamuelRJankis @lemmy.world Meta Analysis for WDT Methods
- Manual WDT is a perfectly valid method.
- If you're chasing the pinnacle of Blind Shakers is certainly worth a try.
- Yield - This one is pretty clear for the most part.
- Workflow - As someone that owns that 2 different Duomo I can say I'm not a huge fan of the manual WDT. That said the clanging some metal together in the morning is also not ideal
- Consistency - I think this one I have the most significant difference in opinion. While calling the Blind shaker method the most consistent is valid my interpretation is WDT could also be called more consistent baring some wild outliers 13% of the time.
Possible difference makers between the two:
- Conical vs Flat burr
- Modern precision basket
- Extraction method with machine(Lance had a rather specific per-infusion method on a Decent)

Espresso @infosec.pub SamuelRJankis @lemmy.world Searchpean Tiny2s - Review
Feature packed espresso scale that lacks intangibles. At the current price of $50 CDN certainly worth a try if you get it from somewhere with easy returns, probably should get a extra 3rd party warranty if you can.
For espresso I think this scale does everything that most people would want out of a scale. The shortcomings is really how well it does those things and how long it will work.
