  • I’d say that it’s almost completely different. With pour over you’re getting a longer drink, very different texture (in general a clean cup, varies a bit depending on pour over style) and with good quality light roasted coffee beans a ton of flavor and tasting notes.

    you need the pressure to “crack”

    I’ve never heard this (which doesn’t mean much) - my understanding is that pressure is simply another form of extraction.


  • Yes that’s a good example too! (I don’t know of any language where that’s a possibility but I agree it’s similar)

    The spaces are used for a reason

    That’s the thing though - my hypothesis is that it’s based on what one is familiar with. There are languages/scripts where spaces don’t indicate word boundaries (e.g. Chinese), or that are rather agglutinative (e.g. Finnish), or somewhere in between (like German), or on the opposite end of the spectrum you have Hindi/Devanagari where a space and an overline marks a word. Totally understandable that it feels perhaps rot13-ish due to unfamiliarity but I would be surprised if native users of those languages share that sentiment.


  • German infamously has a lot of long compound words but for those who struggle with them I have a question (I’m curious and there’s no judgment here - I totally understand that it’s hard): Canyoureadthissentenceeventhoughtherearenospaces? What about Orangecatsittingonamat? If yes, is it difficult in German due to having a smaller vocabulary in a new language, or something else?
