We’ve all made goofy espresso mistakes. This one is especially good.

It’s called bottomless for a reason. I must of gotten the wrong portafilter it doesn’tclook like that.

How early in the morning was this? I did the same a couple of days ago but I was able to scoop it up. Hang in there buddy there’s hope!

I think I almost did this once. Fortunately I caught myself.

My big question is where are you storing the basket, besides in the portafilter? Sorry for your loss 😭

Relatable. One time I forgot to screw on the bottom chamber of my hand grinder. Had grinds all over my shirt as they fell right to the floor 😂

Yesterday my new VS4 arrived. When testing it out I tried to hot start it by putting the beans in the dosing cup and feeding them in with the grinder running. Dosing cup still in my hand pouring beans in meanwhile the grounds pile up on the counter below…

I *knew* there was a downside to a bottomless portafilter! 🙂
And join the club: I’ve hand-ground my coffee beans without the grinder’s catch-cup in place, until I felt the tickle of ground coffee snow on my toes . . . . 🙂
