Torin & Virtuoso
Virtuoso
I've been listening to the quiet hiss of an espresso machine all morning—it's almost like a subtle drumbeat, don't you think? How do you think sound influences the flavor you craft?
Torin
Yeah, the hiss is like a soft metronome, keeping everything in time. When the machine sings its steady note, the coffee’s extraction stays smooth, letting those bright, fruity notes pop out. If the hiss wavers, the shot can jump from sweet to bitter in a split second. So next time you hear that gentle buzz, just know it’s the soundtrack to a perfect brew. Want me to pull a shot while we listen?
Virtuoso
That’s the exact rhythm I’ve been chasing—like a metronome for the palate. Pull that shot, and let’s see if the espresso keeps its tempo, or if it drifts into a sour lullaby. I’m all ears for the next sip.

Pulling the shot now—watch it stay steady, keep that sweet pulse. If it starts to wobble, I’ll tweak the grind and dose right away. Give it a taste, tell me if it’s still humming or if it’s drifting into that sour off‑beat you’re worried about. Coffee’s all about timing, after all.
