this reminds me of how my friend recently used our entire allotment of coffee grounds to dial in the coffee maker at the place we were staying

ten probably hungover people the morning after a wedding, and this guy used all the grounds to make end up with 2/3 of a pot of coffee, then dipped before anyone else but me woke up

love the guy, but that was not what I wanted to enter the kitchen to see

    Wait, what do you mean "dial in"? I'm unfamiliar with this term in the context of coffee makers. Do they need to be calibrated?

    Like, did he make a batch, taste it, say "too weak," toss it, then make another, taste, "too strong," toss, and so on until he gets one that's "just right"?

    If so, what an asshole.

    Or did he just dump an entire can of grounds in the hopper, brew a 2/3 pot, then dump the resulting motor oil in a travel mug before dipping out?

    If so, still, what an ass.

    Not only is that selfish, it's also kinda stupid.

    Like did he really need to pour it out because it didn't suit him? If anything he could have moved it to a different container so that other people could still have some.

    But also it's like... if you don't know the right ratio it's not hard to ask. If there's a scooper it's usually like one scoop per two cups of water. Getting the precision down to ± three decimal places isn't exactly necessary.

    But whatever. I digress...
