@BaristaOnDutY I’ve been loving my moka for a month or so, haven’t mastered it – just found your dec09 video, would love grind & temp advice

@BaristaOnDutY I’ve read a lot, tried many variations, watched many vids and your results are beautiful, so I want to try your methods.

Wesley exclaims "Dah!", removes something from his shoe, wipes his fingers along the fridge. Only I recognize it as a Ghostbusters reference

Wesley re-enacts scenes from his fav movies – Ghostbusters, The Matrix, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, all Batmans from Keaton to Bale.

And, when he hears The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy theme, he strikes a pose like the cover image planet guy with the tongue and hands.

This page contains many instances of the cover image Wesley impersonates http://www.reocities.com/Area51/Corridor/1495/hitchhiker.html

Wesley has the entire Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy saga (BBC radio version) on his PSP and it’s his favorite bedtime listening lately.

What’s puzzling is that he also has Jungle Jam – a lively children’s radio show – but prefers HGTTG, which is much more dialogue-laden.

The newer Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy radio shows are great but are sequels in storyline only, not style. Kinda’ like 2001 vs. 2010.

The celebrity cameos are fun. Especially Christian Slater as Wonko the Sane.

Just had moka breakthrough. Ground to near Turkish, pot didn’t clog, reddish foam in only first half of extraction. Theory: change dose?

But I’m at 20g of coffee to 10oz of water – a manual brew ratio. If I cut dose down…blech? Sooo, coarser grind? Hm. Need more experiments.

Perhaps moka achieves pressure enough to extract that thoroughly? But what I *see* suggests too fine a grind. Hmm. #thinkingoutloud

Boom.

Boom again.

Douglas Adams explains the dimension of probability so clearly, I’m sometimes convinced I understand it.
