Entropy

  • In Discord, Yordis shared an easy and delicious method for making Cuban coffee in an imusa pot (you can also use a Moka or similar). Add two tablespoons of cane sugar in the bottom of the pot, add your coffee/espresso as normal and cook it like you normally would. It came out perfect!

    • The HHKB Studio features a gesture pad aka “the Thinkpad nubbin”
    • The small but mighty NuPhy Air75 came highly recommended
