Sounds like something Jose Canseco would say nowadays
Yeah, but his daughter... :shifty:

@Dostoevsky @Martin are you guys available next weekend to take a plunge into one of Rab's world famous tunnels? It's something that's been on my bucket list.
Spelunking with Rab? Awesome.

Whats is the best solution if you want to make quality espresso shots at home, without investing in a coffee machine?
That question is almost like "what's the best solution for driving the speed limit on the motorway without an engine?"

If you want to be dirt cheap, you can always do like the Italians and get a stove top Moka pot (Bialetti, etc.). $25 tops. But it technically doesn't make espresso, as it doesn't qualify because it won't generate the 7-9 bars of pressure required.

Until you get to the $700 and up price range, there's honestly not a lot I would recommend... other than to save your money with the Bialetti until you can afford something better. And drink at local cafes you like in the meantime.

If you want an option to go ghetto in-between that price range, there are some hacks: used equipment, manual grinders (you will absolutely need a burr grinder if you're using whole beans), or even, God forbid, a Nespresso if you like that sort of thing (consistently mediocre, but not necessarily your "quality" word, IMO).

Enjoying the time off the job.
Quality! :coffee: Enjoy the rare and deserved downtime, sir.

Sick leave.

So, after some guy stole a laptop I'm about to pay 100e for it. Not only I, but all workers.

Now I just got a message, how they stole a monitor from a store. So they'll take another 20e from me at the very least.

I really have no more hope. This is a disaster... not only I can't save anything but in the end I'll be the one paying them. WTF

That's crazy for them to be punishing everyone for this!
