I recently just got a new fancy coffee grinder (1ZPRESSO ZP6) after 5 years of using only one grinder (1ZPRESSO JX). In the next few months, I’m going to be drinking a lot of coffee and experimenting with recipes with the new grinder—I’m so excited!

I bought the portable espresso machine, OutIn Mino, for my wife to use with pods at work, but it also takes ground coffee so I’ve been dabbling into espresso making when she brings the machine home on weekends. Espresso making is a whole other rabbit hole so I’m just experimenting and learning.

Piano

I fell off the wagon of practicing the piano consistently again. I need to get back to it!!
