Sorry I meant I don't really know what that whole 'waves' thing means in real world terms...! But yeah, I'm Italian and grew up in Italy, so I'm sure my taste is probably much more 'traditional' or old school than that of others 🙂 All jokes aside, it really does come down to individual taste, much like some people sweat by raspberry/bubblegum stouts etc and some would never drink a beer that isn't a lukewarm and only slightly bubbly bitter.
In other news, I'm hoping my 1Zpresso JX Pro might arrive this weekend and the coffee stock is starting to run low, so hopefully I'll get to pick up a nice bag of beans just in time! Will probably trek uphill to W Martyn in Muswell Hill, I've enjoyed their espresso blends and always come cheaper than other roasters. My only issue with them has been that when I've bough pre-ground for espresso they were too coarse and the shots ran too quickly, but that won't be an issue once the JX is in 👍

2jz engine? No shit!!!
In other grinder news, and with that finally out my system, the stars finally lined up and I’m grinding my own beans using the grinder at work. 1kg YB espresso beans on the shelf in the lab. So far managed to completely choke the machine, choke the machine and partially choke the machine. Like a
noobpro. Next shot ought to be the one... -
I'm with you on espresso tastes; I avoid all the newer coffee shops in town for the most part and stick to Sal's brew over at Xcues, started by his dad in 1969.

Has your grinder arrived? FedEx said mine was coming Friday 5th. But hasn’t turned up yet. Tbh I thought the 5th was ambitious as I only ordered on the 1st.

I'm assuming 1st wave would be the oldest school.
