Coffee · by Amir Tan · 2026-09-22

I tried doing espresso the boring way and it worked from my quiet Sunday notes

I tried this in Dublin with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 8 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.

This is genuinely helpful, thanks for writing it out. I would love to see a follow-up after 10 weeks.
