They say third times the charm, and maybe thats true because on my third trip to the Specialty Coffee Expo I came with a mission; to find my top five picks for the newest coffee gear. So in this video I'm doing just that, straight from the show floor and direct from the source. There's something for every barista, whether you're a budding home barista or a true cafe professional.

![Coffee Tariffs & Turkey Sandwiches ft. Pablo Lara | Over-Extracted | 04
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.

But, does this even work?
