I worked as a barista for several years 20 years ago. Had terrible repetitive motion syndrome that resulted in an L&I case, reduced work hours, and a ton of physical therapy.

And as always, our understanding of coffee keeps evolving.

I go light with my pressure and aim for the 20 pounds of pressure when tamping at home. If I was at work and couldn’t use an automatic espresso machine, I would probably go closer to the high end for more consistency 👍🏻

You’ve clearly never been in the workforce if you’ve never heard of repetitive strain injuries. Even the most “manly” and fit person will develop RSI from a computer job if they don’t practice ergonomics. Applying pressure through your joints hundreds of times a day, 5 days a week, will do that to literally anyone.
Hi, welcome to how Italians, make coffee there’s a magical thing called a Moka pot. You don’t need to tap your coffee at all. You don’t need to aerate it you just put it in your twist the top and you put it on the stove with water in it and it makes espresso in about 5 minutes, best part is they only cost around 20 bucks not 400
Except it's not espresso. Moka pot produces max 2 bars of pressure. True espresso requires 9 bars. Nothing wrong with moka. I have three of them and use them. But it's not espresso despite what Bialetti and other moka pot makers like to call it. There's an Italian insitute that specs out what constitutes espresso.
@@RonDevito there is a SCAA definition of espresso but these days everyone ignores it and uses double the amount of coffee and longer brew times and messes around with various parameters including ones not mentioned by the definition. But yeah, moka pot coffee is still not espresso, it's just an easy way to make coffee. Proper Italians go to espresso bars to get espresso.
This is relevant ergonomics advice for someone who repeats the action hundreds of times in a day. RSI can happen to anyone if they’re not practicing ergonomic movement.
If your wrist seems to be hurting from any sort of activity I’d recommend strength and flexibility exercises that target not only your wrist but your arms as well.
