  • Honestly, he strikes me more like someone whose true passion is comedy, but he’s stuck in a leading man’s body. He seems to have spent a fair bit of time post Mad Men doing plenty of comedic (or less serious) roles or bits. I’m just happy that he’s still getting opportunities and wasn’t so typecast after Mad Men that he wasn’t getting a shot at much else.

    I wonder if that comment would be different if the show was Severance instead of Corner Office. Adam Scott is great in that role, but a big part of it’s success is also the team around the show. And that’s not easy to come by.




  • The thing holding you back, outside of learning and practice, is your grinder. It won’t work for espresso, as there isn’t enough granularity in the settings.

    You mentioned pre-ground coffee from a local roaster, but that also won’t really work unless you’re using pressurised baskets.

    I would get a new grinder. If you can’t afford something too expensive and want to stick to hand grinding at the moment, have a look at something like the Kingrinder K4 or K6.

    Here’s a good guide to get you started: https://espressoaf.com/guides/beginner

    As others have said, there’ll be a learning curve and it may take a while until you’re happy with the results. But you’ve picked a great machine to start. Unfortunately it’s only one part of the whole thing haha.
