    I'll have to watch these when I get home tonight. We do have a digital scale we use at home for meal prepping but it's slightly larger than the one you showed me. Just out of curiousity what machine(s) do you use yourself?

    You're a much more patient person than I am, @Yakster. My answer would've been 'just don't even start thinking about espresso. Like, why? What is it that you think espresso will do for you? Have you had real espresso, or is it just an idea in your head that it would something good to go after?"

    True, Peter, very true. A moka pot may be an idea, but a good grinder is probably the best place to start. Even though I love espresso, and I've been pulling more shots lately I'm still consuming most of my coffee as brewed coffee with rare exceptions.

    I've got a buddy that has an espresso machine and he's made us a couple cups. Haven't had a whole lot but enough that it has caught Cassi and I's interest but we haven't really started looking into them. His looks similar to this but was a little different.

    A buddy that makes good espresso is a great place to start. They might be able to help you learn and decide if their equipment is something you want.

    I've meet up with fellow coffee nerds many times in the past and it really helped me learn, much more than reading or even videos ever did.

    Should be some Black Friday deals coming up.

    I just had my first espresso which was great paring with a large coffee.. Not sure I could change over to espresso after so many years of coffee..
