If we have to tell you that rancid coffee oils will adversely impact the quality of your shot, we’re [...] Testing: Coffee Ground Attrition & Water Content in Frothed Milk

We had a few viewer requests lately around the weight of things, so we produced two videos covering the following questions: How much coffee is left in the grinder after grinding?
