Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    I’ve definitely been served hit water with the coffee but most places have this cup that is the same everywhere, and has a much smaller volume.

    I’m still getting the feel for making my own espresso and so was thinking if I knew how a cafe makes it then I’d have a good benchmark, especially for getting the espresso shot the right strength.

      Just don’t over express your coffee, it will turn into bitter crap.

      err on the side of a smaller amount of water

        Haha I feel like I might be under-expressing! Just seems like a tiny amount in the cup. It has a nice crema on it though.

          Increase bit by bit, you’ll know when it has gone to far.

            You greatly overestimate my ability 😆
