The espresso machine at your local café costs more than a used car... and a guy catalogued every part that breaks first.I've been making coffee the same way for years and it tastes like sadness — then I watched someone just... add one extra second to their pour and suddenly it's different. Now I'm mad at my routine.This coffee roaster maps out the exact temperature curve for every bean they use, and you can see why a two-degree difference tastes completely different.A barista told me the reason my home espresso tastes thin is because I'm grinding too fine, so I went coarser, and now it tastes like I'm drinking disappointment with a crema on top.A barista told me the espresso machine at their cafe is actually older than they are... and it pulls better shots than anything from this decade.
