unless you are brewing very large batches (1.5l or so) then you are most likely making shittier coffee than you need to be. Anything much smaller than that at and the brew bed will be too shallow, contact time will be too short, and you will get some kind of under extraction. If not, then you will be grinding too fine, leading to channeling and uneven extraction. Either way, why didn't you just grab a pour-over of some kind?

Your water to grounds ratio includes the ice. So that way it gets diluted to the right amount. Also, you grind finer and use more grounds than usual to compensate for brewing with lesser water. You get a really bright cup, which i personally enjoy more.

I tried espresso for the first time a couple of months ago and that shit was some of the nastiest shit I've ever tried in my entire life. Up there with (what could have been imitation) squid-sushi and some peanut-butter cookies I made once with a cup of salt to 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Coffee is a very risky taste to attempt.

It's not about it being a dual boiler, it's about it being their only model capable of consistently good espresso, even ignoring steam completely.

And $150+ is a good brew grinder. For espresso it's a hell of a lot more. You can get just barely passable for espresso with a Feldgrind for that.

Honestly, the listed his budget at $600 in the other thread, which is basically don't even bother with espresso level.

Coffee snobs are undoubtedly worse

Wine experts have been around for years and years. It's an actual job which people pay you for. Well, I guess people are paid to be coffee experts too (when I worked at Starbucks there was a "Coffee Ambassador" for our area, and there's also one for the whole country too, whose job it is to be experts on coffee - I guess the purpose being that they can assist in marketing efforts, in trying to persuade people that Starbucks coffee is actually flavoursome and authentic, as well as purchasing efforts, deciding what types of coffee Starbucks should buy. The coffee ambassador for our area though was also a barista who worked in one of the stores. So I guess only the national coffee ambassadors are employed purely to be experts on coffee.)

But mostly coffee tasting isn't a thing. Just a made up modern thing. Fucking pretentious as fuck. Wine is cultured and civilised - monarchs and aristocratic families have been drinking fine, expensive wines for many many centuries. You don't have "fine coffee". It doesn't exist. Apart from that stuff that gets shat out by monkeys I guess, that stuff is pretty expensive. But it's also disgusting - at least the idea of it is (I've not tried it, and probably never will).

Whatever. Coffee snobs are worse because I say so. Wine is sophisticated. Wine snobs tend to be rich. There is a cachet to knowing about wine. Coffee snobbery is for pathetic snivelly little hipsters. Rich people are not coffee snobs. Coffee is for plebs.
