When you know who Langelier was.
When you know that G stand for Gas and actually stands for BSPP.
You know what BSPP is.
You fenagled a copy of Gicar catalogs.
You know of Gicar.
You know what a PSD is.
You want a PSD analyzer but can't afford one.
You know that solenoid valves come in NO, NC and U versions.
You know what RoR is.
You know how you want RoR to behave.
You know a lot about burrs. But most of what you care about burrs is conjecture.
You know what tipping is. No - not that tipping.
Your scales cost more than their espresso setup. So did your tamper. And distributer.
You feel animosity towards the triboelectric effect.
You think you can taste the difference between sour and bitter.
You want an Agtron. You know what the Agtron scale is.
You know that Art Deco machines of yesteryear make horrible coffee. Yet you want one.
You care about the water at least as much as United States Air Force Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper.
You buy water testing kits at aquarium shops. And when asked what types of fish do you grow you answer "Yirgacheffe".
You have you favorite regions in Ethiopia. Yet you've never been there.
Scraping away (slowly) at the tyranny of biases and dogma.
