Notes

ME [out loud]: wow it’s so fascinating how 2 seconds can make the difference between espresso that’s too bright/acidic, and espresso that’s too bitter

ME [inwardly]: why are these beans so tempermental. omfg i’m going to finish the bag without being able to make one good shot. F

my optometrist, whom i love, just emailed me to let me know that they’re not taking EyeMed insurance anymore and that i currently have or have had them as my provider in the past. “surely this doesn’t matter right now, I have Aetna.”

i guess Aetna contracts through EyeMed. great

still nailing down preinfusion using the paddle (sooo much more control than my last machine) but i still can’t believe i’m managing to get thick, creamy espresso… consistently… shot after shot! in ten years, i was never able to manage that on my last machine
