Home Espresso Hats

Home espresso is a hobby with its own vocabulary. CoffeeGeek calls the god shot the Holy Grail of coffee, a perfect espresso that also has to taste good, and describes the learning curve as steep and littered with many failures, roadblocks, and false successes. That is the world of dialing in, where grind size is adjusted shot after shot until a bag finally behaves. A TeePublic espresso listing even carries the line about pulling 14 shots before 8am chasing a god-shot, which is why I PULLED 14 SHOTS BEFORE 8AM CHASING THE GOD SHOT leads the sentences here. The money talk is real too. Forum advice from sellers like Clive Coffee says to spend more on the grinder than the machine, so a $900 machine with an $800 grinder beats a $1,500 machine with a $200 grinder, which is the logic behind I REFINANCED THE HOUSE FOR AN ESPRESSO GRINDER. Retailers such as Seattle Coffee Gear publish whole home-barista gift guides, covering scales, tampers and milk pitchers, so the person who weighs beans to a tenth of a gram is already easy to spot. The badges HOME BARISTA and ESPRESSO name the hobby, and the sentence designs cover STILL DIALING IN, abstract latte art and coffee that has notes of blueberry. The grinder and god shot lines each get a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for your own bar, or give one to the home barista who already owns a scale.
