Spoiler, its RDT

In case people do nto know what RDT is, which they really should if they have been into coffee for a little while as it makes a big difference:

RDT is Ross Droplet Technique, which is very much adding water to beans. Named after David Ross who came up with it back in 2005

Not gonna lie, I'm starting to hate lemmy for having the most lazy users. You can literally google "coffee rdt" and the first five links explain in detail what OP is talking about. Meanwhile, they're getting shit on for something he still ended up explaining anyways and even their correct explanation that people asked for is downvoted. It seems like nobody even read the article or has an opinion on it, they're just mad that OP didn't spoon feed them.

You know what's lazy? Not spelling out an acronym on first use.

As a espresso person I'm here mostly because the most popular espresso community on Lemmy is pretty dead.

I do really feel like we'd probably be better served if we posted espresso content in a espresso specific community.

RDT is useful for pour over as well, really helps improve majority of grinders and grind types.

[–] SamuelRJankis 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

True but I would believe the general level of enthusiasm for a conversation about RDT would be substantially higher in a modern espresso group vs filter coffee folk.

Also my previous comment is bit of a inner monologue as someone who posted very randomly detailed things on r/espresso back in the day and rather uncertain if/where I would post that stuff on Lemmy.

If it applies to both I would still post it here as the community is bigger and would still benefit from it. Even for basic stuff as there appears to be far more total beginners than the subreddits in the other place.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
