I worked at a fancy restaurant, and they bought a super fancy (like $35k) automatic espresso machine, that ground the beans to order and everything, with a touch screen. I accidentally discovered that, if I got a little grease on my finger before telling it to make me a double shot, after it poured one, it would think my finger was still on the button, and immediately start pouring another. So I would make a pint of espresso each evening for espresso martini, and then a quart for myself. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago (1 child) Wait, how's that different from just making yourself 2 double shots? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] axexrx@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 child) A quart would be 16 2oz double shots. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 1 point 8 months ago (1 child) Oh, shit, yeah, that's different.
