I've been running thermodynamic simulations on my La Marzocco's dual-boiler assembly and noticed that normal steam expansion only yields a crema viscosity of 1.2 Pa-s. Based on my calculations, injecting cryogenic liquid nitrogen into the boiler should momentarily dirop the internal temperature below -196 °C, vastly increasing vapor supersaturation--and thus crema density--via rapid nucleation. My only concern is whether l' cross the critical point of water at 374 °C/22.1 MPa in reverse and end up with a supercritical fluid slurry instead of anything resembling espresso. Thoughts on phase-transition risk versus crema gains?

What the hell happened to just a black coffee

black coffee is racist now. Drinking a nice cheap cup of 4 cent dirt flavored bulk coffee is unacceptable these days. I still do it anyway because I have no fucks left to give though.

I for one would like to celebrate your decision to transition. It takes courage to be your true self. If you need to do it in phases or all at once, what matters is you are finding your truth.

I tried doing with with nuclear fusion but the IAEA came along and fucked everything up as soon as I got enough plutonium-238 when meanwhile they let North Korea and Iran proliferate way spicier shit than that all day long just for the sport of it. Fuckin' dipshits, our tax dollars hard at work.

Try doing a back flip first the try

I'm just going to keep using cum instead of milk because its cheaper.
