Philosophy
- Test, don't trust. Run the experiment yourself — refractometer, scale, blind tasting.
- Home users deserve real science, not marketing copy from machine vendors.
- Demystify everything: pre-infusion, puck prep, distribution, water.
Notable quotes
"If a 'rule' in coffee can't survive a refractometer, it shouldn't survive at all."
