Wow - this whole edition hit so close to home! First, a big thank you for bringing attention to the need for proper maintenance of your coffee apparatus. You could be using beans that were roasted in Colombia yesterday and without cleaning your machine properly, your coffee would still taste like a blend of everything you had been making in recent weeks. This is one of the reasons I love brewing coffee in my CHEMEX — it is made of non-porous glass and cleans incredibly easily. You can really taste the difference in the quality of different beans, as well as your brewing methods.
Starlink is so fascinating. I recently read they are projecting nearly $7B in revenue this year! Science fiction in real life :).
I gotta look up CHEMEX. We make our coffee with an Aeropress and love it. (until getting the espresso machine -- I just got my new grinder a couple days ago, I'll write about it soon)
Had my first Aeropress today - I brewed an “Espresso” and an “American”.
The American was fantastic. The most enjoyable part to me was how the whole contraption and brew process revolves around making one mug of coffee. It took a lot of the complexity out of brewing coffee!
Even the espresso was surprisingly legit given it is missing elements of traditional espresso brew methods.
Have you tried venice.ai. Seems to have a few interesting and unique aspects, not least of which is more web3 ethics and claiming: true privacy, no censorship, permissionless etc.

I've never tried Aeropress - but it's certainly priced reasonably enough that I might add one to my coffee repertoire.
Keep enjoying the espresso, looking forward to hearing more about it.
Let me know what you think of it if you try it. Just make sure you grind fine enough for it (you can look up online what is recommended)

Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
That's great. I've never actually made "espresso" with the Aeropress, we've just always used it for americanos ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Great post.

I have no stake in this whatsoever.
I've never tried it. I'll have a look, thanks derek! 💚 🥃
