I think that hack does work by the way at least for me, but mainly due to it cooling down the espresso as the taste buds taste better at a lower temp.

Could you explain this to my wife? Because I've figured out espresso equipment is a lot cheaper than a divorce.bullet08 wrote:Any average intelligent individual can learn to make drinkable espresso in an hour or less. Simple idea as ratio, input/output dose, and what tastes like bad espresso can be explained and understood.

And I'll steal part of a quote from my Dad about cribbage:
My wife told me espresso isn't a matter of life and death. I replied "I agree, it's far more important than that."
I already had a hobby, photography. I thought that was expensive until I got into home espresso making. "Luckily" I'm still in the accessories frenzy wich with the help of AliExpress are pretty cheap. Every time I say I'm done something new comes up and I drop another £5 - £10.
