    I’m extremely anti-gatekeeping any hobby, and I’ve never gotten any bad vibes off him. He nearly always addresses the fact that many of the minutae that he focuses on are for the extreme nerds with extra money/time to spare. He even regularly talks about how many of the ideal processes he talks about, he doesn’t do because it’s a PITA.

    He’s very slow to recommend expensive/time consuming products, and he’s quick to offer more reasonable alternatives.

    That said, he’s a coffee nerd with money to spare, so he definitely gets excited and involved with things that are a bit beyond your average bear.

      Yea, that’s the main thing for me. He is willing to go, yea, this is great, but also not practical. He’s not the uncompromising nerd that says there’s only one way to do things else you’re not a true believer.
