Here it is: our Blog Contributor Natia's take on going back to the Italian standard of 14g for espresso doses, and what effects it has on the cup, taste, and caffeine hit.

The work week at the #FoodBank continues. I am kept busy, but currently not hectic, which gives me time for side project catch-up.
But first, my #Coffee - a good start to the day.
After work I am looking forward to the Men's #Prayer Group I am part of. If you are local to the Lexington, KY area and want to join this group to pray together, please inform me.
The D-Group (#Discipleship) has stopped for the season. It ended with my birthday cake and fellowship last week.#DGroup
A post this morning on a very intriguing and feature-rich pour over system from Melitta that gets almost no mention at all in the usual influencer circles, for reasons you might not expect.
People drink a lot of coffee, and some of the six million tonnes of grounds discarded annually into landfills can generate climate-altering methane and carbon dioxide. A study in the Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology finds the grounds could be used to address agricultural contamination.
Just had an artificially flavored coffee that was so bad it makes you ask God why he allows such evil into the world. So much for trying to be spontaneous. Going to stick with my usual from now on ☕️
I'm looking for a #coffee table for in the #garden next to my couch in the sun. Any creative cool ideas? Can be #diy can be premade can be an ikea hack. Should be able to fit at least two mugs, be easily movable

Groggy start to today. Was awoken by a FB Messenger ping by a friend ex-workmate informing me that an older coworker has passed away. It's a reminder to live our lives day by day, but also to think of our eternal future.
Changed over Arianna's ice-bottles and made my #Coffee.
Today is May the 4th, so I am wearing a t-shirt featuring Doctor Who and the Star Trek Enterprise. I am a rebel!
Indian restaurant birthday lunch today with good friends.
I hope you all have a relaxing day.
My twice-monthly subscription from Ontario's Social Coffee ( https://socialcoffee.com/ ) arrived today. One of the best decisions I've made with CoffeeGeek was switching from Pilot Coffee, who were declining in quality, to Social Coffee as the primary coffee we use at CoffeeGeek for all our product testing.
They provide consistency, at a very high sustained quality. Their People's Daily blend remains one of the best "this is what espresso should taste like" espresso blends I've enjoyed. More on how we test for espresso:
We do pay for this subscription - this is not a paid advertisement - but I wanted to share this with the fediverse coffee community in Canada, if you're looking for a roaster to try. Even their decaf is spot on (I get one bag a month of that - it's the blue one in the box).
The weekend is almost here, so let's celebrate! Whether your favorite drink to sip is a warm cup of coffee or a Napa Valley red, these Magazines are sure to quench your thirst.

Do you know what happens when you lift an improperly situated cup by the very edge of its saucer? Right. Coffee all over the counter and airlifted over the curved edge of the cup and saucer to form a lake on the floor!
No worries. No coffee drinker or porcelain was hurt in performing this comedy act.
So excited, as I’ve wanted this grinder for a while, but too damn cheap to upgrade from my now-janky Hario grinder. I broke the base of my Hario a few years ago and screwed in a mason jar at the bottom (it fits!), but will be happy to have a better grinding experience now. Still love having an all-manual setup. #coffee#thriftshop
