Yep, that happened… train routes were canceled in Greece because the train tracks got warped due to the extreme heat 🥵

☕️☕️☕️Achievement unlocked: Been consistently brewing my tastiest espressos for the past 2 weeks every morning, using an old Gaggia-classic machine that I modified, a bottomless portafilter, and a Lelit grinder. Relatively cheap, old equipment, but spent days finetuning it 🤘

The orange man scares me. He has the mentality and ability of a Bond villain, with the mental capacity of a Bond henchman, and the rhetoric of a WW2 dicktator (not a typo). Scary to think that person might have a big red button under his finger.
