Also in the woods near Poznan it's very well possible to prepare an espresso if one remembered to bring beans and some tools. (Youtube version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_vFTXhwq04 ) Poznan espresso

More visitor/cup photos: https://kostverlorenvaart.blogspot.com/2019/04/bachotex-espresso-visitors.html Jerzy Ludwichowski Jerzy's cup During the upcoming BachoTeX conference deep down in the Polish woods I will again provide espressos in my little cabin #10 which is conveniently placed along the footpath from many other cabins to the place where meals are served to the participants. Some visitors come early, to get a strong potion fighting travel fatigue or a little hangover from the beer consumed during very late-night meetings about ligatures, microspacing and hyphenation in the modern world. Others drop by in the sunny afternoon when the air in the conference hall has become thick with glyphs.

Some examples of the effect of the BHI In-Line Noise Eliminating module. It can't enhance a signal that's too weak to begin with (if the signal is too weak, you hear a crystalline tinkling sound) but it can filter out a lot of noise, thus enhancing voice (not music). bhi in-line noise elimination Youtube version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV-SkJRAteA Dutch noise can also be eliminated: Dutch noise elimination   Youtube version:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNwrSPZJH8Q
