Pleasures and Frustrations


Last Friday arvo saw Des and I head out to Flemington for what was my last fruit & veg bulk buying expedition. I'm still stuck on quinces, so I got a few more to stew. It was also über fun hanging with Des for some purpose other than study. It had been too long!


For those particularly interested, I've caught a snag with my espresso making pleasure. Channeling. I just can't seem to get around it. I'm thinking of getting a better tamper to try to eliminate inconsistency there... but here's my hypothesis for the moment:

Cheaper domestic espresso machines (or at least mine) deliver the water at higher pressure than they ought.

It's just a theory, I can't prove it, either.
