The key to tasty coffee, in general, is even extractions. Making sure there isn’t some coffee that is being over extracted, causing bitter flavors, and some that is being under extracted, causing acidic flavors. This is all the more important in espresso, where everything from water contact time to beverage size is concentrated down, exaggerating any unevenness. The unfortunate truth of making espresso at home is that you really do get what you pay for when it comes to equipment, and there is a high barrier to entry, where entry-level equipment may not be as forgiving, and even high-end commercial equipment may not be as home volume friendly. WDT, or the Weiss Distribution Technique, can help compensate for those shortcomings by evenly distributing coffee in the portafilter to promote more even extractions and better espresso. from

AirTag Wallet Card

Ever misplace your wallet?  We thought so.

Here is a nifty AirTag Wallet Card that we printed up a couple of different ways from the same source file.  Found at: https://thingiverse.com/thing:4849497

The reason the look different is that they have different percentages of infill and were printed with no “shell” on the top of bottom.
