In this episode of Over-Extracted we sit down with Pablo Lara, a green coffee trader and recently certified Q-Grader with InterAmerican Coffee. Based in San Diego, but originally from Ecuador, Pablo has a passion for South and Central American coffee and building relationships with producers and roasters alike.
So of course we cover the current state of the coffee economy regarding the addition of the freshly announced and enacted tariffs on all international commerce, as well as an in-depth, demystifying look at getting the coveted Q-Grader certification.

![NCD Pulse | Is Vibration the Best Espresso Distribution Method?
Espresso distribution tools have become an industry of their own, most of which have some kind of complex, or at the very a least fragile needle system. The Nucleus Coffee Tools Pulse seems to buck that trend, and uses a tried and true bladed design to smooth the surface, with the addition of vibrations to settle and break-up clumps throughout the puck itself. But, does this even work?

Eureka is best known for their Mignon line of grinders, and the new Libra is the first in its long, storied history that features a grind-by-weight technology. Which is also something relatively rare for home focused grinders, especially at a price point under $1,000. But the question remains, how accurate is this tech, and can it compete with a market full of high-performance single dose grinders?
