What is a cup.Them lines on the pot..???
I drink a pot in the morning.Says 12 cups..I fit it into 2 of my cups..Then maybe a 20 oz. after lunch and in the cooler months a 20 oz on the ride home from work.Not the same since I quit smoking..
The one seemed to go so well with the other..

I love coffee but for some reason don't drink all that much of it, perhaps 1-2 cups a day.
For a while I was into espresso, had a 400 dollar commercial grinder and fancy machine. Beans were always fresh roasted (used 3-7 days from roasting) and not too dark, the proper mix of arabica and robusto.
The neat thing about espresso is the blending of science and art. There are many variables to control. Water quality, water temperature, the coffee, humidity, grind size, tamping pressure etc...
A proper barista will do everything the same every time, only adjusting the grind to compensate for other variables in the system.
The result when everything is perfect is the extraction of all the coffee goodness without the bitterness. It's the essence of the coffee bean in a one ounce cup. The GOD shot...
