How are you keeping your Porcupress tines in alignment and operating at their optimal pattern presentation? Over time the grounds will exert microforces that throw your press out of alignment. That's why we've invented the Porcupine, which provides a 160,000 point calibration of your Porcupress. For only $600, you will never have to experience an uneven or suboptimal ground torturing again.

@JaredConnell It's slightly different with audiophiles, though. With the right equipment and setup, you can feel new levels of sound you'd never thought possible before, and after the setup is done, you can enjoy it as much as you want for as long as you want. With these caffeinephiles, they spend 30 minutes+ just to make an acidic drink that has exponential diminishing returns in satisfaction related to the equipment and time used to prep it. Audiophile equipment also has diminishing returns, but it's not as bad. Blissing out to music as it travels through your body, literally enveloping you, is leagues more enjoyable than a cup of java ever will be.
unfortunately the difference is very real and you can accidentally fuck up your ability to enjoy coffee you didn't make yourself. the cafes that will do the work to get perfect extractions are few and far between. wish I'd never gotten into this hobby.
@@TedHendershot It really isn't "very real". I do dislike a badly made coffee, but that's just about fucking up the regular coffee making process, not the amount of gadgets they use to make it. Sometimes people shake the thing and makes all the coffee residue float around and you end up tasting it when drinking the coffee. It tastes disgusting. However any instant 3$ capuccino bag can make a coffee just as good as a capuccino made with a 1k dollars machine and dozens of 300$ extra gadgets

@@Dracon350 Espresso machines are not expensive. I am not a coffee expert nor an aficionado. But I have a moka (We call those "Greek Coffee Maker" here in Latin America, most households have one of those) a regular coffee filter which is pretty much just a sock and it cost like 3$, a small espresso machine (for 55$) and a french press (No clue how much this costs since it was a gift). I use all of them from time to time since the taste and texture from each on really IS different! It just a way to mix-up that small coffee making wake up routine, and I have spend less that 70$ in this whole "collection". Here in Latin America we get REALLY good quality coffee. So for a very small amount of money you can get a fantastic experience
@@sebastiangudino9377What it cost in latin america. Is a fraction of what it would cost in america.

Usually what stuff cost in a country is based on what the societies money and wages are. With that said they may have come down in price or some cheap knock off models may exist. But in all reality a regular percolator coffee makes works just fine.

I don't even like coffee. I just find all these gadgets and methods interesting. It's always fun to see the inner workings of people's hobbies.
We all agree the coffee hobby is bordering obsession, but I'll say that I want to have a cup of coffee made by this guy one day.
Coffee guys are my favorite kind of “takes it way too far”
Honestly I think on this one it is a valid reason. Water channeling is an issue with many applications. Like distillation columns face this problem too.

My grandma owns a small Italian coffee shop and she has done this with a cork with needles in it for years.
Hey, thanks for the tip. You've saved me from blowing $300 or whatever for the overpriced silly thing. Not that I would, actually. But I'd be tempted. 😅
But seriously, what did she use for needles? Sewing needles? Pins have heads on them and you'd probably need pliers to stick them into the cork.
@@61countdown oh my god I'm so sorry that it took me this long to reply, she just used sewing needles (cleaned with soap before of course) and she pushed the back of them into the cork.
@@Cokroche Hey, no worries. Thanks for replying and confirming what I thought would be a practical solution. You can never beat grandma.😉
@@Cokrocheisn’t it funny how a lot of the problems people face (not talking global level problem’s of course) have already been addressed by some invention made decades or centuries earlier ? I’m sure a lot of these solutions are knowledge passed down through generations that not everyone has access to but now we do thanks to the internet & social media… I bet there’s still plenty of traditions just waiting to be turned into some modern technology…

Someone once said, men won't go to a psychiatrist but buy a 1000$ coffee maker. They weren't lying.
They were, there are more men who would visit a psychiatrist than buy shit like this
At least the tool they're showing here is only $25
1000USD is cheap. Good ones start over 3k.
Help me I almost have a whole coffee bar at home
Psychiatry is kinda horse shit (speaking from EXTENSIVE experience) and coffee is a cool hobby that makes you friends.
I've seen things like these on old south american coffee machines from the early 2000s. Very nice stuff
I don’t really like coffee, but I still find this fascinating. (I like the way coffee smells, but literally any time I’ve tried it I’m like “no thanks, I’m good”)
Me too, it's more of an acquired taste when it isn't Starbucks' diabetes in a can with extra heart attack. But it's not so bad if you drink it often. That is, if you brew it right and make it not gag inducing
These people are gonna solve string theory just to figure out if their coffee is going to be bitter
If that happens, I'll accept that solution with zero complaints.
Spoiler: of course it's fucking bitter.
Feels more like an anxiety fever dream. These people imagine they can buy a $100 device to pretend their coffee tastes better. The reality is far more harsh. Imagine you spent all that time and money for your coffee to taste pretty much the same. They invest their personality into coffee, it's a bit sad.
@@rw5622What you are describing is having a hobby in a capitalist system. As an example, I like hiking. I can't help but notice that there are a million and one products I could buy to make that experience "better".

@@Samuel-hp6opIn a cup the size of a thimble.
@@Samuel-hp6opevery morning I make coffee that costs about 2 dollars and it tastes like the best thing I've ever drank
@@PunkKimzyeah thats not how comparing works
Give a african kid ramen and its the best meal he has had give them a burger and watch the opinion
It's amazing to me the amount of work and tools you can invest into a coffee just for it to taste exactly the same
It's like "audiophiles" spending tens of thousands of dollars for something to sound exactly the same lmao
I mean it's mostly a hobby/fun thing to do. Sure, does 500$ in equipment only result in a 0.5% better taste? Yeah. But it's neat!
@JaredConnell It's slightly different with audiophiles, though.
With the right equipment and setup, you can feel new levels of sound you'd never thought possible before, and after the setup is done, you can enjoy it as much as you want for as long as you want.
With these caffeinephiles, they spend 30 minutes+ just to make an acidic drink that has exponential diminishing returns in satisfaction related to the equipment and time used to prep it.
Audiophile equipment also has diminishing returns, but it's not as bad. Blissing out to music as it travels through your body, literally enveloping you, is leagues more enjoyable than a cup of java ever will be.
unfortunately the difference is very real and you can accidentally fuck up your ability to enjoy coffee you didn't make yourself. the cafes that will do the work to get perfect extractions are few and far between. wish I'd never gotten into this hobby.
@@TedHendershot It really isn't "very real". I do dislike a badly made coffee, but that's just about fucking up the regular coffee making process, not the amount of gadgets they use to make it. Sometimes people shake the thing and makes all the coffee residue float around and you end up tasting it when drinking the coffee. It tastes disgusting. However any instant 3$ capuccino bag can make a coffee just as good as a capuccino made with a 1k dollars machine and dozens of 300$ extra gadgets
The whole motivation of this invention could be summed up as “We made this device because water is a lil bitch”
I don’t drink coffee, but I love how passionate people can go down a rabbit hole when trying to make something they love even better.
It seems rewarding too
You can go down a rabbit hole for almost anything. People will shit talk coffee nerds to no end but I'll bet they have their own hobbies they obsess over
@@trevord.6545 i dont stop at just coffee nerds i make fun of anyone who "needs" caffeine to function everyday

Hey, if I can afford it next month I will be buying a French coffee press. You have inspired me to do more with my coffee. I have migraines and coffee with my migraine medicine helps me also I have a heart issue and caffeine helps keep my heart beating well. My pain specialist and cardiologist told me I need to have a little caffeine to help my heart and migraines. I have a very rare neurological condition that affects my heart so I need caffeine to keep it from going too slowly. In the hospital they give me caffeine pills until my heart stops having issues. The only thing I don't like is the stupid high and crash at the end. I sleep a bit longer than usual after caffeine. Also, I love your channel, it's very beautiful and poetic the way you display the coffee. There are two things I love the most, writing poetry and drinking my coffee while chatting with my cat Stormy. 😊❤☕ 🐾

@@Dracon350 Espresso machines are not expensive. I am not a coffee expert nor an aficionado. But I have a moka (We call those "Greek Coffee Maker" here in Latin America, most households have one of those) a regular coffee filter which is pretty much just a sock and it cost like 3$, a small espresso machine (for 55$) and a french press (No clue how much this costs since it was a gift). I use all of them from time to time since the taste and texture from each on really IS different! It just a way to mix-up that small coffee making wake up routine, and I have spend less that 70$ in this whole "collection". Here in Latin America we get REALLY good quality coffee. So for a very small amount of money you can get a fantastic experience
@@sebastiangudino9377What it cost in latin america. Is a fraction of what it would cost in america. I remember going down there back in the day to purchase computers and tvs for several hundreds of dollars less then here in america. I could get a 1200 computer for like $200 the same exact one. Usually what stuff cost in a country is based on what the societies money and wages are.
With that said they may have come down in price or some cheap knock off models may exist. But in all reality a regular percolator coffee makes works just fine.
me who doesn't even drink coffee:
Hmm interesting
I don’t drink coffee or even do caffeine but I gotta admit this stuff is so satisfying lol
as a person that never drinks any coffee, i didnt know how complex it was to make an espresso. i dont regret not drinking coffee ever.
It’s not that complicated, they are just brain dead and like attention
Same, i never drink coffee and I have no regrets
It’s not complex people just overthink it and then made a hobby out of it. Espresso shots were never meant to be turned into a glorified $30 price point
Just like anything, if you want the good stuff it gets complex. A Ford is easier to assemble than a Bentley.
Yeah, I don’t even like coffee so there’s definitely no regrets for me there 😂
