coffee

good start to the day, pretty decent shot

writing about products & protocols on Farcaster | prev. Juicebox, Nouns, RAW DAO | casting about coffee, hi-fi, and other rabbit holes

to be fair I’ve been practicing for a long time 😂

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.

well, spent about 7 years making espresso at home with a beat up Rancilio Silvia that I bought from a Brazilian exchange student. added a PID which helped with temp stability. found a dusty Mazzer Super Jolly on ebay for like $300 and replaced the burrs. got some VST baskets, all of the usual stuff.

eventually moved to a new place and was getting tired of the single boiler workflow. so finally jumped in and built this crazy setup, which admittedly looks more like a laboratory than a coffee station:

so, 10+ years total. probably closer to 15yr at this point.

you and @gatito would just finger pop each others arseholes on espresso… this looks exactly like his setup back at the cafe

How long? I worked in a coffee shop for 3 years. I can say my coffee tastes good but I cannooot make it look nice 😓
