Everyone knows the true test of a person’s character is the consistency of their grinder, not the brewer. (please don’t look on my kitchen countertop- it’s full of almost all of these and a single hand grinder. My forearm is crying for help)
I liberated my Rancilio Silvia from a relative who decided their covid hobby wasn’t as satisfying as they thought lol. But I still prefer espresso from my Flair most of the time since the Silvia still needs to be PID modded to have decent thermal management.
I swear if I end up getting the 58, I deserve to be thrown into the ocean. I initially bought the Neo, then sold it for the classic, then replaced the brew head with the pro brew head and pressure gauge.
Hahaha, it’s the never ending climb. I went straight for the 58 from a pour over setup because I truly can’t trust myself not to upgrade to it. The hand grinding is getting old though… the Zerno is calling my name but my wallet is desperately fighting back.
Hoxhaism (/ˈhɒdʒə.ɪzəm/ HOJ-ə-iz-əm) is a variant of anti-revisionist Marxism–Leninism that developed in the late 1970s due to a split in the anti-revisionist movement, appearing after the ideological dispute between the Chinese Communist Party and the Party of Labour of Albania in 1978.
Yeah, I’m just going with “made up”. The alternative is navigating three levels deep of leftist infighting.
That seems to be a pretty great idea for a mutual aid project: Make a community coffee dispensary whose mission is to brew the best coffee and give it to anyone who wants a cup. Large-scale production should be useful in controlling the factors of coffee production, hence only a short time of trial and error, the coffee dispensed should progress from bog-standard to half-way decent to pretty good to absolute best.
Stretch goals include a baked-goods dispensary that is attached.
I wouldn’t personally call “Gong Fu Cha” a ceremony, more like a “discipline” since that’s sort of the idea behind “Gong Fu” its the idea of get better at something doing it over and over again, so best translation for would be a discipline. Unless you meant Japanese tea ceremony, but that’s not really for tasting the tea its more like the tea is used for symbolism sake like say how wine is used in mass.
I also don’t think it has that many steps? Preheat the vessels using water at the temperature you’ll be using for the tea, pour that water out, put tea leaves rinse the leaves with the water pour that out, steep the tea after say 10s pour that water out into a secondary vessel (probably a gong dao bei) pour that tea liquid into your small tasting cup and slurp to taste. Pour some more until you need start a new steeping, do what you did previously just slightly longer steeping time.
Honestly I get lazy and skip the pre-heat and fairness cup, then it’s even faster/easier than brewing in a pot!
Also tea people should check out !tea! The only tea community I’m aware of on lemmy. Though it’s super inactive right now; I should probably contribute…
