The original investigation into precision baskets aimed for a particular shot time not necessarily extraction yield.My previous work has looked at filter baskets based on how much area of the basket is open. I…

Coffee Data ScienceThe Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) has been around for a few years now. WDT generally helps with good distribution and has been found to improve coffee extraction. One difficulty people have had is knowing how long to WDT.

My previous experience with sifting showed that simple vibration was not enough…

A coda to a hugely popular manga and anime series, Fruits Basket: Prelude steps away from the supernatural elements of its preceding iterations while aiming to retain their emotional lyricism. The first half-hour of this “prelude” functions as a recap of the series; this lengthy prologue revisits how Tohru Honda, a sensitive orphaned girl, falls in love with Kyo, a teenage boy who is cursed to transform into a cat when touched by a member of the opposite sex. These events, absorbing enough when told over the course of the…
