Pretty much all of them at this point, I'm in the construction industry. Video games, reading, computer repair, anime, dungeons and dragons, miniature painting, watch making, chess... There are a few brave exceptions, but most people give me that glazed over look when I bring it up.
I just posted a similar response but I think the issue, at least for me, is how deep into the weeds I get with each subject. Anyone can be into coffee for example, but it's the ones who do the research and watch the videos about the subject in their free time, that make a simple thing such as coffee become more of an obscure thing. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
The example I like to give for coffee is that I watched James Hoffman sift coffee grounds to eventually brew a cup with all the same size grounds. With no intention of ever doing that myself.
I just had to know if it was better!
Well don't leave us hanging! What happened, fellow coffee nerd??
I honestly don't remember! Lol.
I went searching, but all I could find is his review of the sieve, which I've never watched. But, I know 100% that it was him and this sieve just in a different video....
