It's a good thing we are such an accepting bunch... It also doesn't hurt that we have a perfectly (un)natural fondness for finely tuned shaving instruments !!

Any coffee nut knows you need to grind, coffee amount, volume, pressure, water temp, tamp etc just right to get the best espresso. That is why I regularly weigh the grounds, measure the pour and check the timing to keep everything right in the zone. If you think that's nuts get onto one of the coffee forums I'm just an amateur.

But yes its not as though anyone here is trying to balance all the variables for in the pursuit of perfection

Buy a Nespresso machine, Eddie. It does all that for you. Perfect coffee, every time.

Had it before my sister gave it to me. I gave it back. Once you have experienced true espresso not the general bitter crap offered by most unfortunately its like going back to carts after experiencing straights. It could be done but why would you even though it takes more effort it's worth it

Indeed. With range of detection alone, there is a world of difference between the tactile sensation on your face, and the differences in flavor detected by your tounge.

We have a low-end, but name brand, espresso machine. We had to make ourselves stop using it, as there was a marked increase in trips to the bathroom.

On a related note, my A.D.D. responds better to prescription stimulants than quickly metabolized caffeine.

Cant wait for the Mailman, there are a Francis Newton Old English Razor and a Bird & Co. an the way to me

Mail call this afternoon.
