One for the vaccine refusenik conspiracy theorists. [upl-image-preview url=//i.imgur.com/vk7NX1j.png] It's true. I removed the antennae from my wheels and some sod came round and let my tyres down.

My favourite joke I loved to tell when I was a child……… A snake was warming himself in a nice sunny spot in the woods when another snake came quickly slithering up to him and with a very worrying anxious look on his face said… "Sid! Sid! Quick! What am I, a grass snake or an adder?" "A grass snake, why?" replied Sid sleepily. "Thank Gawd for that. I've just bit me lip!"

I have a friend Pat from Ireland went into the local market to apply for a job. The boss thought to himself, "I'm not hiring that lazy swine", so he decided to set a test for our emerald hero hoping he wouldn't be able to answer the questions and he'd be able to refuse him the job without getting into an argument. The first question was, "Without using numbers, represent the number 9." Pat says, "Dat's easy" and proceeds to draw three trees. The boss says, "What in the world is that?" Pat says, "Tree 'n tree 'n tree makes nine." "Fair enough" says the boss. "Second question, same rules, but represent 99". Pat stares into space for a while, then makes a smudge on each tree. "Der ya go boy," he says. The boss scratches his head and asks, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?" Pat answers, "Oh b'Jaisus it's so easy look each tree is dirty now, so it's dirty tree 'n dirty tree 'n dirty tree - dat's 99." The boss is getting worried he's going to have to hire Pat so he says, "All right, question number 3. Same rules again, but this time represent the number 100." Pat stares into space again, then he shouts, "Sweet mother of Mary i've got it!" He makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Der ya go sir -100." The boss looks at Pat’s attempt and thinks, "Ha! got him this time." He then tells him, "Go on, the paddy, you must be crazy if you think that represents a 100." Pat leans forward and points to the little marks at the tree bases and says, "A little dog comes along and craps near the base of each tree, so now ya got dirty tree an' a turd, dirty tree an' a turd, and dirty tree an' a turd, which makes 100. When do I start me job?"

@"-Mac"#p1329 Ah…that word filter….but people will figure out that it's turd

Cuprajake Gosh! Tell you what after watching those I now put myself in the master barista class of coffee preparation. There’s me thinking I was average….. or maybe they are in the master barista category and I am Sh.. Hmm??

dutchy101

coffeealex You do with a Minima haha.

Not only am I completely amazed he was using that there (when the was another metal tamper on the worktop at the same time), but he looked like he did a bloody good job with the shots.

Cuprajake

Well both those two videos are machine manufacturers 🤷 not just random people

MediumRoastSteam

coffeealex Is that the ‘knock tap technique

Knock-tap-grind-tamp (repeat)! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s a hell of an overfilled basket! Impressive!

coffeealex

The vimeo video is a ritual! What does he spray the beans with? Looks just like my hand disinfectant. Maybe it’s a special spray for coffee beans just in case they have Covid.

CoyoteOldMan

coffeealex Possibly WD40?

coffeealex

Knew was on the right track with WD40! Just was spraying the wrong bit!

Cuprajake

Bit o holy water

DavecUK The nice thing about having a bad memory is you can see things you think you have not seen before (but know you have) and enjoy them anew

coffeealex I just saw the video and realize that the barista is Antonio Nurri. He is founder Nurri company. The one that just release Nurri Leva SA. I wonder that his machine requires to tamp like the way he does it. 🤣

MediumRoastSteam

MackOT just saw the video and realize that the barista is Antonio Nurri.

If you are referring to the video posted by Cuprajake , you are getting very confused. At the beginning he says his name, “Salvatore” (from Salvatore Espresso Machines).

edit: CoyoteOldMan pointed me to the right post by coffeealex

It’s indeed Nurri.

CoyoteOldMan

MediumRoastSteam I think it was this video, using a similar old school tamping technique:

MediumRoastSteam

CoyoteOldMan - you are right! Obviously didn’t t scroll back far enough.

I’ll edit my post to that effect. Thanks for pointing out.

MackOT

MediumRoastSteam I am sure that there are hundred of ways to make espresso. Italian is the master at their way of making espresso. They have been doing this longer than anyone. I have never seen Italian barista use the scale, RDT or WDT either and they serve million of espresso yearly.

If ACS as a company does not have longer track record, I would be order Nurri Leva SA. That is another sweet looking lever machine.
