I'n not so anal as to use a flat burr grinder.....

assume you mean if it does not have a crema it is stale?
A quick googling for a set of replacement burrs for a Juru turns up conical burs, so it looks like your machine uses Conical burs.
Making sure I got this straight...
If you're a coffee foodie , which I'm certainly not , there are many levels of subtleness, providing hours of conversation no doubt.
Well, they were questions, I wasnt looking for a put down. Thanks though. Its not like we know anything about coffee in Australia, or I havent served professionally. I have the luxury of only needing to make them at home now. Variety is everyone’s perogative, but choosing espresso without crema…. Certainly not he norm.
I got hooked into the (for me, expensive) Technivorm Moccamaster drip coffee maker a couple of years back. I'm a drip coffee drinker, so don't shoot me. But, that said, it has a wonderful, thick head of crema every pot I brew. I grind immediately before the brew each time, and gently stir the grounds as they start getting wet to ensure uniformity. I have a Breville (I think, conical burr) grinder. I'm on scheduled shipments of roast-to-order Mizner Estate coffee from Boca Java in Denver. It's as good a cup of coffee as I need every day and the best bagged roasted bean I've found, to my palate. That said, if I'm at Cafe du Monde in New Orleans or Versailles (Cuban cafe con leche) in Miami, I'm drinking a coffee there for sure.
Ha! you have a Jura? Me too. I guess you could say I am lazy, but theconvenience of one button push, for me, outweighs the difference in uality you get with a manual machine (all that grinding on a soeparate device, loading and tamping "just right", making sure youur water temp is just right, etc...... I have one machine that is well over ten tears old and has been flawless (except when it was in storage for about a year and I sent it back to the distributors for refurbishment. It is now my backup (and actually load it into my vehicle when going on holiday in my borther-in-laws place in Pensacola). The second has been pulling six to ten espressos a day for the last 6 years and never blinked. Excellent machines!
I was just kidding. But the flat burrs isolate flavors better (they are more for modern espresso). Conical burrs mix in all the different flavors, which means you cannot taste anything specific but end up with a thick creamy "traditional" espresso shot.
Only problem is ALL the great coffee info remaining in this thread
My guess: the shut-down option is just a software update away in the Grenadier, and every other new car that is coming with "drowsy driver detection". You are going to want to shop for a 2022 or older to avoid this.
I would say to that that the DOT cannot force upon you something not part of the car you purchased. Meaning, the as-sold spec does not have shutoff capability so unless they’re going to buy the truck back from me at full price, it shouldn’t be allowed. Can legislation force retrofitting to a car? I don’t think so.
In the 1950s, corporate agriculture and big food companies destroyed all kinds of natural, healthy food in the United States. In general, we lost access to good bread, good beer, and good coffee (among other things). But it has literally been decades since that was true. In a lot of the country, you can find bread, beer, and coffee that is as good as any in the world.
Good point. I hope you are right.
I think Starbucks opening around the world and proclaiming to be American coffee has done a lot of harm.
