Waiting for the government to say that fuel injection just drips gas into the car. We need to free the gas, let it pour into the cylinder.

Looks like they didn't know how to bring up the keyboard controls for mobile, it loads fine under Firefox desktop mode, just can't do anything.

I used target for breakfast bars as my kid only wanted the target brsnd ones, but I have Lidl branded ones a shot and have been able to replace them. ✌️

I was able to run SimTower on Linux. I haven't tried SimCoopter, but there are so many bugs in that game it likely won't work lol

Well if you don't see a message from me after Saturday, you can assume the worst.

 

I ordered a bag of Lavazza Super Crema for playing with my espresso machine, but wanted to try it out in the V60 for kicks.

Set the ESP to 24 and ground 17g. Brewed with 320ml of water. Coming from mostly light roasts, this taste a bit on the dark side for me, but overall a good balanced cup of coffee. I may go corser on the next brew, maybe 26.

I did 50ml for bloom (30 seconds) Add 70ml wait ten seconds Add 100ml wait ten seconds Add final 100ml

Happy brewing.

YesPlz beans (www.yesplz.coffee)
 

Trying out their blend and just opened my first bag. It's their 295 mix. I like it, lite and easy to drink It tastes like coffee. Did an aeropress brew and will try V60 next time. I will say the beans gave off an interesting smell that made me nervous about how it would come out, but all is good.

I never heard of this place, but it was recommended in another post. I'll likely keep the subscription, at least for another few bags to see how it goes.

 

I'm doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It's a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I'm happy.

I haven't had too many Kenya coffees, but if you have a whole foods nearby this one tastes good to me.

Single Origin Kenya

 

I've been watching a bunch of the stumptown coffee brewing videos on YouTube. They are another great starting point for all of us. I tried their V60 and aeropress recipes and the coffee came out good. It tastes like coffee. Lol

Anyway wanted to share in case someone hasn't seen them. Enjoy

 

I recently picked up a V60 to take a stab at pour over at home. I was getting ok drinks out, but my pour control was all over the place. It was too fast and not very accurate as I was using my existing hot water kettle.

I hate replacing things that work and I didn't want to get a new kettle just for coffee making. I started looking for some small kettle options where I can put my hot water on and pour out. A lot of the products in this category are either too affordable where the handles come off or too costly. I was hesitant to get the Hario Air due to Hoffman's review, but it really seemed to check all my boxes.

After making a few cups, it is amazing. I can't get as close to the grinds as a normal kettle, but I'm not to far. Control is great, but the neck thickness causes me to bump the V60 sometimes, need more practice. At any rate, I love this and it's easy to store in the cabinet when not in use.

TLDR: Great product if you have an existing hot water kettle you don't want to replace just to make pour over.

I'm wondering if we should start a sticky post which contains everyone's collection of Bean/Grinder+Setting/Brew method information as a reference. It's always good to have a nice starting point.

I will update as comments come up.

Light Roast Encore 20 Chemex 32g - 2 cups
Light Roast Encore 22 Chemex - 3 cups
All Jaffee J1 30 clicks Switch 20g - 300ml
 

When I placed the order for a new Baratza Encore ESP, I also picked up this bellow for the hopper to push the left over grinds out of the machine. I posted a picture of the grinder earlier this month.

After two weeks of use, I needed to clean the grinder since I'm switching from flavored beans to non, there were no grinds in the machine. Sure there are some fines on the burrs that need to be brushed off, but not much. I'm impressed with this product and recommend it for anyone that has this grinder.

You can actually see the left over grinds fall into the bin when you press the bellow. Works great especially if you do the water spritz to minimize static.

Parent's Bitter Coffee (startrek.website)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

At visiting my parent's this holiday weekend I tired to gently tell my parents that their coffee brew is very bitter. The response I get back is something like, " I like it strong."

I wasn't too sure how to respond, but then they told me my coffee is to watery. 🤔 I told them it's not that is watery, but it's a light roast and not bitter tasting.

So my question is how do you convince someone that bitter coffee is not good coffee? I might bring my scale next time to help measure and perfect the coffee brew there. Maybe even see about cleaning their been grinder, which I think has never been cleaned.

Oh well.

Update: Thanks for all the tips and thoughts. I agree with basically everything posted here and sorry no butter (I fixed the title)

I wanted to try out the desktop version of the Brave browser. Its setup according to the privacy guide directions and I have sendoff usage data disabled, but if I open the browser sitting on the home page, windows is reporting 100KB ofdataa going out every 5 or so seconds.

Running the same test with Edge, no network usage is reported.

The only extention on Brave is bitwarden, which is also installed on edge.

Any thoughts? This is the IP it is sending to: 104.18.12.33

Edit: on reboot of process, I see the hostname: ec2-35-163-26-5.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
