    Just saw this guy on one of those "Twitter questions for a ______ expert" youtube videos that Vanity Fair and Wired post. He seems like a very entertaining and knowledgeable guy. Can anyone vouch for this book?

    And get a scale. Good coffee is getting the coffee ground/water ratio right in addition to the right grind size for how you are brewing. About 1 gram of ground to 16-19ml of water (personal preference).

    I started reading about how having a good scale is important but does a price of a scale matter? Would a scale under $60 be an okay price?

    I got COVID over the summer. Didn't affect my sense of taste or smell.

    Had a horrible fever for half a week though
