I rate it as unwatchable. Horrendous job of editing.

With regards to James' predictions:

Weighing extractions has merit; I am doing this on a regular but occasional basis and believe it has real merit.

On the bigger picture, the major problem with coffee now is the quality of what is being sold as individual origins. Some may believe that you can achieve all through careful blending, but I believe there is an intersection between those who prefer blends and those who prefer single origins. Without superlative single origins there are no superlative blends.

And we have not had a lot of superlative single origins lately. To me this is the biggest challenge for any movement that aspires to produce first rate coffee or espresso, however used or blended (or weighed).

My prediction for 20XX: the amount of water throughput will be a hot topic on HB. If you can't afford a machine that does it for you... weighing shots plus wet and dry pucks, anyone?
