I will mod my espresso machine at some point to have a PID.

Also, I have a gallery here.

Coffee Mugs

I am currently in search of good latte cups! I used to exclusively buy Loveramics cups, however when trying to buy cups at their physical store, I faced clear discrimination. The employee refused to even make eye contact with me, much less even greet me, even though I waited several minutes in the near-empty shop to purchase a cup. Other people (merely passing by the shop!) were greeted and welcomed, and I was the only person ignored. The whole experience was mind-boggling. As a result, I am no longer supporting Loveramics.
