โ˜• - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

It actually came out of an espresso machine. A large ass, commercial machine. That's why I was so shocked.

What kind of machine? A good machine will produce a good espresso. Maybe it's a supermarket automatic coffee machine?

I think it was a 3-head La Cimbali.

That's a darn good machine. So it must be other factors, maybe the barrista...

Former barista here, it's definitely the barista.

Though to be fair, the blame is mostly on the shop owner for not emphasizing quality and training the barista well

Other factors: coarser ground, longer pull, (maybe) unscaled machine...
