Very impressed with super fast circuit board manufacturer in China. The sixth iteration of the smart scale's circuit board arrived just 5-days after i've submitted the design. Well done #easyeda. Industry 4.0 is a reality now i guess? The latest design is much smaller (resting on the wooden scale) which allows the scale to be made much smaller too 👍☕ Made a trip to @thepouroverbar bar yesterday to be spoiled by the multitude of choices of @ninetypluscoffee, the kindof premium coffee normally used for compertitions which is complex in favour even as a single-origin. Must not miss this if you are ready to up your coffee tasting game! Thank you Raphael (in photo) for sharing your coffee stories and for bringing in such luxury into Singapore 👍☕ Spotted the @kvdwespressonisticworks Spirit espresso machine in @sun_ray_cafe which is rarely seen in Singapore. Also met the winner of Tea Masters Cup Singapore Dave lim (in photo), and learnt that the tea which Dave uses for competition are the same tea they serve on a regular basis in the cafe 👍👍 Painstaking effort were also took to source and buy coffee beans direct from the farmers 👍☕ Its definitely more than just a pet-friendly cafe 🐕🐺🐒 Spotted the @cafflano.official Kompact coffee maker at a pop-up by the good folks from @wtpstore today. Look how big it is as compared to other 'hand press' coffee maker. Had the honour of demonstrating dynamic water flow control to @likantu84 and Keith yesterday. Also cupped various new and tasty offering from @dockyardcoffee 👍☕ We examined the coffee cake and came to a conclusion that pre-infusion does promote more even extraction 😎 Thank guys for the treat and photos :) Cheap trick to control the flow-rate (or water debit) to enable pre-infusion. This allows extraction with finer grind setting without choking the basket👍☕ The red line in the app shows the realtime flow-rate without portafilter. The mass (green) shows noticeable slower increment with lower flow-rate. Only $6 for the flow control ball valve 😎 Throwback to a trip to Yodobashi camera in Tokyo about 2-years ago where the Japanese rendition of 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' plays in a hypnotic loop and coffee gears are available at really good price 👍☕ The latest iteration of the smart scale prototype measures 9x10cm to fit on most machines, especially on the really narrow drip-tray found on the @rocketespresso. The gravimetric dosing is as accurate as 0.1x in terms of brew ratio. Have also added a flow control valve to the machine since the flow rate can be monitored in real-time. Time for some fun with flow profiling! 👍☕ Catch Rodman Chan, @baristartist and Natasha who will be representing Singapore in the World of Coffee championship in Budapest starting today. Live streaming starting soon! All the best to all the competitors 👍☕ (Photo of Rodman Chan during a workshop at @a.r.c.coffee)
