  • Nice and thoughtful video, thanks for sharing! But he calls out two tweets of him, saying that Hubermann probably doesn’t really think that way, so saying he is a clown is perhaps a bit much? I enjoy his podcast a lot, but I fully get the point that Strong Medicine makes. Nevertheless, Hubermann gives a lot of very nicely packaged advice, on how to tweak here and there to get a bit more from one’s everyday life - but those tweets are really horrendous I must say















  • Unfortunately you have to also use a double dose (or in that range), with double output and coarser - compared to the single basket - grind. The higher quantity of coffee is what helps make everything easier, as small variations have a more limited impact and the diameter of the baskets itself (58mm) works better for doubles. Single baskets have usually holes only in the middle part and have a much less uniform extraction for this reason.


  • Single baskets are tricky to get right, did you try with the double basket (with a slightly coarser grind) and the same ratio? The taste is the most important thing in the end, so don’t fuss too much on exact timing.

    Steaming milk requires a lot of trying and patience, focus on getting the tip at the right height and slowly you will learn when the air is mixing correctly with the milk and when to change position or stop.

    And follow the tip about the actual zero of your grinder!
