A seemingly obvious point I’d ignored for years changed my approach to reading in a way that has considerably improved my life. If you already reread books regularly, feel free to skip this. If you’re like the old me who thought “Why would I reread a book when there are so many amazing books I haven’t yet read” then read on.

In theory, you'd like your espresso machine to contain everything you need to make good coffee, including a grinder for fresh beans. But in practice, this hasn't always been the case. The classic knock on espresso machines with built-in grinders is that the grinders have often been kinda terrible.
