#NCP Holy cow! Major #F1 news. The 'fookin' guy' at Haas has been fired. Gunther Steiner, who became mega famous because of the Netflix series on F1, was let go by Haas racing. I did not see that coming. Then again, I've seen interviews with Gene Haas in the past, and he's a very ego driven guy (though not nearly as bad as Papa Stroll) I could see him being jealous of Gunther's fame.

So I thought the #Cuptimo was a bit of a joke, really. I mean a blood pressure style pump, attached to a pourover #coffee maker? While it is a bit "hacky", it actually works really, really well. One of the things I dislike about #nobypass coffee brewing is the dwell / draw time. Some devices take up to 10 minutes. This creates a vacuum in the vessel below, when you choose to create that vacuum. Said vacuum completes the brew quickly. They're onto something here. cc @coffee group

Today's espresso, the first of 2024, is pouring nicely. @npub1jcn4...gw7e #espresso

I really didn't expect my post yesterday about date formats to explode like it did. A lot of passion out there about date formats! I wonder what would have happened if I posted about metric? 😎 Speaking of which, I still use Fahrenheit when referring to water temperatures in coffee brewing, vs. Celsius. Why? Because Fahrenheit has a smaller resolution between numbers than Celsius, ie 202-203F is a smaller temperature change than 93-94C.

One reason why the #LagomMini #coffee #grinder is a finalist in CoffeeGeek's 2023 Product of the Year category is the micron-tight tolerances of its build construction. For example: the tubular grinds chute is embedded in the main body of the grinder. and the fit is down to maybe 20 microns, and uniform. Check out this detailed photo. (full review coming soon). cc @npub1jcn4...gw7e @coffee group
