I'm having fun with coffee again. Tried various meds to help with depression/anxiety and they all made me feel like crap - making espresso costs less even after all this gear and brings me joy.

So if you ever visit, I'll make you coffee with a smile on my face. For me, it's the best therapy.

New accessories - affordable as Chinese manufacturers standardized on 51mm baskets and three tab portafilters for the majority of their entry-level machines. Unpressurized basket is nice, but the thing that is new-to-me is the puck screen - pulled my first shot with the above this morning and it was a partial fail (grind not fine enough) but the puck screen made popping out the surprisingly dry puck a breeze.

I completely forgot about this #Outin portable #Espresso device. As I saw from the reviews, it seems to hold 3 times worth of charge when it needs to heat the water by itself (one of the fancy features they promote). I've used it twice before one of which was a failure and now the battery is depleted.
