How? Did you take a nibble? Or do you have an organic chemistry lab?

I did some experiments and then took a nibble to confirm. But I do also have a chemistry lab
This may be complete nonsense, and probably is, but I've had a go at decent coffee on the cheap, and for my limited knowledge and experience it's worked out pretty well.
I bought a Gaggia expresso Deluxe to replace my Barista express (which I took to work) for £165 and modded it with a 9 bar spring, IMS shower screen and naked Edesia portafiler..
I could have probably have done better than the Sage smart grinder pro, but for the money it's working well, as is the whole set up (excuse the daft wall art, I may have had a few drinks when I ordered them)..
The tamper, distributer, scales, WDT tool and stuffs were from Ali X for less than a KG of decent beans, so I'll consider that a win.
It's a bit more work than the Barista Express, but it kerb stomps it for quality of drink.
