Happy to start a coffee thread if I am derailing too much.

That's a great idea. I am down to talk coffee.

A warning though: The coffee rabbit hole can be as deep as the watch rabbit hole.

This warning is valid. Our Nespresso Pixie reached end of life a few weeks ago….which opened up an entire world. Just bought my wife a Jura. Coffee will never be the same.

Oh my, so you'd say a good coffee maker and/or grinder would make such a great difference?

Gotta use a burr grinder only. Also, gotta start with water hot enough.

When I was working on my masters I was working toward a math degree and a friend of mine in partial differential equations modeled coffee preparation as his class project. (I used something easy I already did in EE that the class thought was amazing, but coffee was so much harder and cooler)

It is amazing how many different components there are in coffee that change by preparation method and time. Heat, surface area, pressure, water purity, etc. It’s all really important.

If you want to see how coffee can derail a thread, you should spend more time on the MoT Discord!

New house shoes came in. Super comfy and the Vibram outsoles will last forever.

Mondo is having a buy one, get one free on all in stock puzzles.
These are all based on their limited edition prints, so cool stuff to be found.

https://mondoshop.com/collections/puzzle-party

Regular price for one puzzle is $20.
Price for two puzzles is $20.

Save $20 on TurboTax Self-Employed. It is a DoorDash promo. I am not a Dasher, but by just following the link I saved $20 when I checked out. The only difference seemed to be a little DoorDash branding on the site.
