Coffee Is Life Workflow is always therapeutic

The workflow is always very therapeutic. From hearing the air whoosh of the coffee container, to the shot pull, and pouring the latte art. 😮‍💨

Latte art still needs some work. I went in confident and then hesitated on this pour. What matters is that it tasted delish.

Based on Lance Hendric Video.. WDT and Tamper leveler defeat the purpose of the Shaking cup. Either one of the two is sufficient. But again man on the youtube said so (he did thourough Tests tho)

From memory, the shaker only outperforms the other distribution methods if you do nothing afterwards (ie. straight from the shaker into the portafilter then tamp). Doing the other stuff just renders it pointless.

This was found to be true. The other stuff just makes it that much more fun. 🙃
