Nice. I put stickers on the grinder adjustments so I can always fairly quickly get it about right. Although the difference between good/bad espresso is about 1tick. Other brew methods about 10.

If I could do it all again I’d skip the espresso machine and get better manual brewing tools. Which now I WFH is much easier to justify.

The water spray to reduce static is pretty much required on all grinders.

Not sure about this grinder specifically, but a doserless mod might be possible too. Not strictly necessary though.

Very easy to get carried away with coffee gear.

Not directly answering your question, but the metal v60 server works great on most devices, and keeps it warm https://global.hario.com/product/coffee/server/VHSN.html

Nice mod! Do you like the grinder otherwise? I recently got a doserless flat burr and find I’m experimenting more with different beans/grinds/brew styles. Still mostly pourover though.

People hosted their own forums as there was no viable alternative, and you didn’t care about legal liabilities, data governance, right to be forgotten, DDoS protection etc.

Most people (not all) will choose the easy option of an existing service. Of which the value for that service is to lock you in and spend all your time there.

Saying that I’m still active on multiple forums, but they’ve been around for years, and it’s definitely an older nerdier demographic.

Great explanation. I’d be one of those web Devs.
