About
Engineer-turned-tester who built our home-protocol logger for temperature, pressure, and extraction consistency.
Core Beliefs
Weekday espresso should be predictable; taste consistency outranks novelty.
Background
During a month of 6 a.m. tests, I logged shot temperatures, pressure curves, and variance on two similar machines. One tasted great on Saturday, then drifted midweek. The other held steady. That gap—repeatable performance versus charming chaos—taught me that weekday espresso lives or dies on consistency.
Perspective
I favor machines with stable PIDs, responsive pumps, and proven profiles.
