    u/Levols, I saw your butler-grade scale so I took my butler-grade magnifying glass out to take a better look at grind distribution.

    Variance of 140 micrometers? Are you manually grinding your beans with a cleaver?? /s

    Surely someone here has access to an STM they could borrow

    Why does the close-up look all greasy. Straight from McDonald’s

    I run my grinds in the grinder atleast 4 times before pulling a shot

    Could you zoom in just a little more? Can’t tell unfortunately.

    Now I have the urge to bring coffee grinds into the lab😂

  28. WafflesAreLove

    I need 10000x can’t tell if it’s fine enough!

    You should pull a shit and find out. Because that’s what matters

    Is there any difference between /r/espresso and /r/espressocirclejerk ? Asking for a friend.

  36. SaltyPlans

    Now I wanna bring coffee grinds to work and view it under the microscope

    Why do I feel like I’m being trolled by all of my threads? Is this 2026 already messing with me?

    Such an inconsistent grind here. Honestly, you should be ashamed of posting these images publicly. At least include a NSFW tag on it.

    Are you sure the PI in your lab is cool with you using the HiRes Trinocular Inverted Microscope for Reddit data?

  41. ZealousidealPound460

    Science experiment: at what micro-grams would we taste / see a difference ?

  42. Complex-Professor990

    It looks like the beans divided in half

  43. sleeping_e

    This is actually a good post. Does anyone know what is the variation observed in different espresso grinders? For instance, i have fellow opus. Im curious about that one in specific
