GM. Back on the V60 this morning, and I just cannot get the grinder right with this.
GM. Been out of posting for a while. Been busy with Lens and getting older and the celebrations around both. Anyway, here is my interpretation of a lavender flower.
A piece from last year, that you can now mint ⭐️ This one is for the coffee lovers 🤎
Ice Cream coffee. Espresso and vanilla ice cream.
It’s the weekend, so say it with me! Coffee Admin Time! This week I’m finally doing something that I’ve put off for months; aligning the burrs in my grinder. It’s a painfully slow job that requires measurements, reassembly, shimming and repeat.
Refueling Avara HQ.
This is why I love British summer time. Evening run and these guys are having a munch.
V60 vibes this morning.
It’s the weekend, so you know what that means! COFFEE ADMIN TIME. I love the coffee that my hand grinder makes but I am adding a V60 into my filter rotation so I need to be able to quickly change grind settings, and for that the DF83v is just better. Here I am trying to find the setting on the DF83v that matches the known good setting on the JX-Pro.
GM fam. What a week! Looking forward to quieter weekend… 🫠
Been smashing pour overs at the Avara HQ this week (made five cups before I sat down at my desk this morning) so this is my first flat white of the week! And happy Lens Network day.
So excited for this, the future of Lens.
GM. Weekend means it’s coffee admin time. Decanting the remainder of the 1kg I bought a few weeks ago.
Dialed in, just like the new HQ! Grand reveal coming soon.

Sneak peek of HQ coffee game.
This morning my daughter (she is 7) tells me she wants one of those (points to my Ledger). I swell up with pride, thinking to myself, truly, I’ve raised a risk adverse degen that is in tune with the pulse of financials and crypto. Then she tells me she also wants to play the brick game on it… 🤦♀️

Attempes 2: So this more like attempt 1 redone because some new kit arrived yesterday. Weber Workshops Unibasket, which is beautiful, but does not fit my spouted portafiller and the Canal Hummingbird only arrives in September. So a new PF was also bought. This attempt (19g for 40g out in 12 seconds) was slight less muddy due to me going down in RPM on the grinder and increasing grind size. Still not a great espresso shot but fine for a flat white.
Attempt 1: 20g still hitting shower screen and with a high extraction basket pulled 45g from 20g over 15 seconds with a 9 second pre infusion. Very muddy and sharp so will work on that and lowering the dose for the next one. Horrible shot basically but lucky milk fixes everything.
GM. I’ve decided to spend the next 1kg of coffee beans dialing in my espresso taste. I’m a lazy coffee drinker because I know how to make a great pour over and use milk to fix my sour espressos. But no more. Taking this month to sort that out.
GM GM. Rainy weekend vibes.
GM fam. Never discount the advantage of a split spout when you have people over. I like to make a smaller flat white if I have two coffee orders on deck instead of grinding and brewing twice. 20g in 55g out over two cups. New bag of coffee today. Volcano processed, light roast from Union’s micro lots.
Some art for coffee club.

GM! Another one from my freezer vault, and another one that is end of line (guess who didn’t plan their coffee deliveries correctly). This is one of my favourites though, so much so that I will take the time to blow out the chaff after hand grinding it.
GM frens. Another one from the vault and the last of this batch that I have. It never had that flavour pop of other and-washed beans. Not my favourite so not too sad to see it go but it’s still a light roasted African so a great cup regardless.

GM. I don’t normally start the day with an espresso (I say start but my first has to be an immersion while I get the kids ready for school) but today I wanted to try a new high extraction basket I got with this geisha. 20g in / 40g out 4 seconds pre-infusion 10 seconds shot time Very pleasing espresso and a good reminder that good beans are the base of all good coffee drinks. And yes, my Lenny has seen better days.
Lowered the price on this guy today if anyone is in the mood to be a collectooor 🫶 https://foundation.app/mint/eth/0xC7cc7D9af5e3eb53Bea5B386164FC3023fc2a119/19
no one has guessed it right so far, but I'm giving away 500 $bonsai to whoever guesses it correctly.
V60 is not my normal go to but this is a very small batch that I only have five vials left in the freezer so trying something different. Very fine (for pour over) grind size and a fast AF paper to match. Draw down was close to 7 minutes though…
GM. I normally make a cup of coffee for the school run, depending on timing. I also don’t believe in using anything except ceramic. The Monster is for special occasions.
Weekend allows me to indulge in cloth filters because I have more time to clean and prepare them. Love is a cloth filter and light roasted geisha.
Coffee is beautiful.
Now Lens has up to date data dashboard, kudos to @lens/sealaunch for all the work

Managed to get down to Qima this morning to welcome anew member of the team and to try some of the best coffee in London.
GM. Can confirm that live is 65% improved with good coffee. Last couple days in Spain and then back home.
First cup of the holiday. Feel like I can finally relax. GM Fam.
Claimed my 'thank you' gift from @lens/bonsai to celebrate the fundraise! 🎉
Mission successful.
Two days without self made coffee but I’m in Barcelona now and the hunt is on.
Landed in Spain yesterday so switching to tea this morning till find some decent beans. Anyone got some recommendations where I could find some in Cambrils?
