if you find you are clogging a lot but the taste is good and you just want to clog less, try minimizing agitation (and disturbance of the coffee bed by overagressive pouring). keeping the bed 'intact' keeps the fines in the matrix rather than migrating them to the filter

do it by taste. most coffee has a grind size cliff of bitterness and you have to stay coarser than that for best results. rarely, you may find one that is great no matter the grind.

i sometimes like to do a filtered french press type setup, mix boiled water and coffee, let steep, then pour through a sieve into a filter over my cup. makes a muddy brew thats kinda dinery and very fullbodied compared to my normal pourover.

I was making cold brew with that oxo system for some years. Its very low maintenance and easy to do. Only gripe I really have is the narrowing taper on the glass, which means i had quite a lot of near misses almost dropping it. Put a rubber band around the glass for anti-slip and its great.

IIRC I was doing 100g of coffee and 600ml of water for around 20hr steep. Makes a concentrate but I was personally just drinking straight shots of it occasionally ^_^

 

I see a lot of ads these days for fancy mechanical keyboards from numerous brands, but the thing I always wonder about is: how do we know these keyboards dont have keyloggers or other spying tech built into them?

 

Does anyone here do the Park&Homer / J. Reynolds crosswords? They show up in my alt weekly and I had the idea to start a running feed of questionable content in them xD

 

This week I’m enjoying Barrett’s Columbian Huila Natural - Carlos Fernando Red Bourbon.

This is one of the rarer ones that doesnt seem to drop off into bitterness no matter how fine I grind. Because of that I imagine it would make pretty fantastic espresso. The tasting notes of “blueberry, bubblegum, chili powder, winey, consistent” seem all over the place to me, and i’m not getting any of those. This coffee just tastes like a nice medium roast to me without any huge standout notes.

Looks like they reused a URL here since it doesnt match the description.

Anyone else seeing mlem login issues? Guess my instance may have updated. I was getting a parse error on my user page, tried reinstalling/relogging but now cant log in with mlem. works ok on the webservice, though.

I will check bug reports for this but I noticed mlem refreshes the feed when you change from portrait to landscape or vice-versa. Happens when trying to switch aspects while viewing an image, which loses the image, which is Very Annoying. Anyone else have same experience?

Chromatic Kunjin (www.chromaticcoffee.com)
 

Today I’ve just started in to a bag of Chromatic Kunjin, tasting notes on the bag of “tart cherry / molasses vibes” seems true to my taste. It’s overall round, very juicy, and syrupy. This coffee looked especially red and velvety to me when ground, and quite low in chaff. I bought it from the discount shelf at the shop in San Jose, and was traveling around with it for a few days and it was filling the car with an irresistible aroma. Once home I had it frozen for about a month before thawing and now enjoying. Doesn’t seem too worse for wear!

 

For those like me interested in the Pulsar brewer, I am considering trying a similar poor-man’s setup based on the Oxo compact cold brewer. It also has valve actuation for blooming, and you can sandwich a standard aeropress filter in after its metal filter but before the valve for a cleaner cup. The only catch I can think of is that the valve actuation requires a bottle neck of a fairly specific size, and the bottle it comes with only comfortably holds around 500ml.

Leonid Ramirez Columbia from Pulp coffee roasters (pulp-coffee-roasters.myshopify.com)

Enjoying the Leonid Ramirez from Pulp coffee roasters in San Antonio. This is one of the rare ones that seems great in pourover no matter how finely I grind. Advertised tasting notes did not align with my experience, there is a mild tartness up front but overall I just find this to be a perfectly delicious and round coffee. This is the least chaff I’ve ever dealt with, I see almost none when grinding.

Stopped in to the roasting facility and was given a small tour and friendly updates about their recent roasts from the owner. Was invited to share a roaster’s test brew with the fellas in the shop.
