An Espresso consumtion question.....................

[Demosthene]

I love when people in the states give fractions of a kilo

I go through about 250g every two weeks, drop that down to a week occasionally.

You should have seen when they introduced the metric system at the gas pumps.

We have been metric in Australia for a long time but some folks just refuse to convert and as a result you need to be 'bi-lingual'.
I was buying shorts this am and they were all in inches. I prefer to function in metric.

Re coffee: My espresso machine is not plumbed in but lives on a trolley that I wheel into the kitchen. Takes me 10mins to set up, 10 mins to pour and 10 mins to clean up.
Consequently I only do this twice or three times a week - so only use 250g a month.
That is why Capsule/Nespresso machines are so popular - coffee in 5 mins.

Well only Liberia, Myanmar and the USA officially use imperial measurements so being 'bi-lingual' is not as nessasary day to day luckily.

Anyway on the topic of coffee, I know of somone who has a full 2 group head espresso machine plumbed into his 4x4. Always amusing seeing it parked next to some random billabong in the bush with somone pulling shots out of it.

Yeah I know that :P
Waist size in inches is one of those relics from the past unfortunately.

It messes with me. If I buy a bag of beans, it's usually marked as 8-16 ounces Murica style. But then my scale for measuring coffee doses is in grams, and all of the coffee recipes are in grams. So I just guessed how much I use monthly based on how many shots I make. Direct ounce to kilo calculation isn't possible unless I've already had said shots or ask Siri, Alexa, or Cortana

There are 28 grams in an ounce.
