  • That is quite surprising for me. I knew that outside Italy, and USA in particular, the coffee culture were a lot more varied, but I didn’t expect common stores to also embrace it in this was

    However it makes sense actually. Heven here in normal stores you can find coffee for espresso machines and moka, however specific varieties and single origin roasts are getting more and more common

    Yeah, that’s concerning. However after being on the Fediverse for a while, I understand that the freedom from corporations comes in a trade-off with privacy, and even if I’m not tech savvy I’m convinced this isn’t going to change. Maybe there should more understanding about this, and we should put online only things we are totally ok with being publicly available and share private stuff only in specific places such as encrypted chats






  • There are two things you should check in order to enable the snapping you need

    For the action you need to perform, check the snapping menu on the right side of the upper toolbar, with the magnet icon 🧲 You can activate/deactivate it, but also open the snapping settings panel in which you can choose the behaviour of the snapping. Here you have a more detailed description Snapping on Affinity.help

    You may need to check also the curve snapping if you need dinamic guides during curves manipulation. You can find the setting in the upper context toolbar while using the Pen tool or the Node tool. Also for these settings you can refer to the official guide: Curve snapping on Affinity.help







  • Finally I went to Tokyo and visited the Glitch shop in Ginza, and it was amazing! I can confirm the coffee is great but service in particular is flawless, from the presentation of the staff and the process to quality of the preparation.

    In Japan is not guaranteed to find staff speaking good English, which is ok, I totally understand it’s not easy and one shouldn’t take it for granted, however I very much appreciated that all Glitch staff did speak perfect English, so I had the opportunity to ask some questions and even chat with the lady who prepared my V60

    I also found the price not so high compared to what I find in Italy. Here you can get a good pour over in a specialty coffee in a range between 5 and 10 euro, most often 8. In Tokyo I paid 1500 yen, roughly 9 euro, so considering the high quality of the service I’d say their prices are pretty average

    You may find that all the extra attention to details as water temperature or precise pouring pace may be unnecessary for you, at least at first. I was intimidated too, especially for the equipment, but then I started brewing using a normal kitchen scale and a stove kettle without thermometer, only relying on the boiling point, and I have to say surely I have less control over the final result but still I enjoyed very very good cups of coffee So I’d suggest you to just give it a shot doing your best but without unnecessarily hassle and improve your technique a bit at time
