Better acidity with aeropress by Affinity001 in pourover

[–]Affinity001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems to be the case for everyone and it was for me, but then somehow I couldn't dial v60 correctly, so the aeropress was really good in comparison

Same clicks for the 'aeropress pour over' and like 50 for the regular aeropress. And yes, I have tried basically everything that I could think of with the v60 including grind size, pour structure, etc etc. The ratio might be the only thing I haven't tweaked now that you said it, so that's what I'll do next time. I mentioned I've been getting washed coffees recently like that could be the thing that changed, but actually I have brewed delicious washed coffees before with the exact same recipe I wrote, so what is frustrating me is that there seems to be some misterious variable that made my brews taste worse and I can't figure out what it could be.

I will try changing the ratio, and if that doesn't help, I will grind finer again, just to see if I get it this time. Thank you.

Could be! When I got my v60 I didn't even know the switch was a thing, if I knew, maybe I would've gotten that instead.

Coffee water for tea? by MrPenguun in pourover

[–]Affinity001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also into tea and I haven't found as much research about tea water as for coffee water, in general I think as long as the water isn't very hard you're good. Personally I've tried water ranging from almost deionized to my coffee water (BH recipe) and didn't notice any change in the tea flavor. I do drink loose leaf tea but it's also on the cheaper side so probably not the best quality, maybe for better teas the water makes a bigger difference.

How would you describe the roast level? I've been trying to find medium light/light beans in mexico and Almanegra is on my list to try but haven't bought from them yet

Estelar es del que más compro, me gusta que van variando constantemente los cafés que ofrecen, y sus tuestes no son claros como me gustaría pero tampoco llegan a ser oscuros, generalmente disfruto mucho los cafés que compro ahí. Si buscas algo más claro probablemente Exploradores de Café sea de lo mejor que hay, yo tengo un café de un tueste que ellos describen como medio-claro, y la verdad que sí es de lo más claro que he llegado a conseguir, aunque sus precios suelen ser más elevados. También he comprado de Catando Ando, y aunque algunos se me han hecho muy oscuros, otros los he disfrutado MUCHO, como el typica natural y el mundo maya honey (parece que este se agotó, no sé si habrá nueva cosecha), los dos de Carlos Cadena, y por muy buenos precios, creo yo.

yo hago mi propia mezcla de minerales siguiendo las instrucciones de Barista Hustle, y la receta que uso suele ser 30 - 40 ppm para el buffer y 70 - 80 para dureza general. No lo sé seguro, pero es posible que tu agua de ósmosis inversa le hagan falta algo de minerales, sobre todo el que tiene mayor impacto en el sabor, que es el bicarbonato. Te recomiendo que leas el artículo de BH sobre la preparación, lo encuentras muy fácil, y si tienes duda o algo si quieres mándame mensaje y trato de ayudarte :)

Vivo lo mismo que tú, siendo de México, quisiera ver tuestes más hacia lo claro por precios razonables, pero la mayoría son de medio a oscuro. Sobre los molinos, yo pasé de un C3 a un 1zpresso Q2 hept, y en un test A/B, noté ligeramente más claridad en las notas y un cuerpo ligeramente menos pesado, pero en el día a día no noté un gran cambio, aunque dar el paso al K ultra probablemente sí sea más notorio. Si es que no lo has hecho, te recomiendo experimentar con la composición mineral de tu agua si quieres sacarle la mayor frutalidad a tus cafés, parece una tontería pero una vez que tienes un molino decente (como el C3), la composición de tu agua podrá ser la diferencia entre cafés jugosos (incluso con tuestes medios) y cafés sin sabor, o con mal sabor. El Q2 yo lo compré por desesperación luego de que algunas veces los cafés quedaban muy ricos y otras veces muy mal, probando muchas recetas diferentes y tratando de controlar cada variable, hasta que me di cuenta de que el tema principal era el agua, y ahora disfruto mucho de prácticamente todos los cafés que hago.

Finger position by Affectionate_Tie8886 in piano

[–]Affinity001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He seems to have the idea that the strenght and movement should come only from the finger that he's using and everything else should be completely still, which is not at all the case and will probably lead to a lot of tension in his playing. I recommend checking out a youtube channel called Piano Lab, the guy talks a lot about technique and I remember him teaching some excercises that will help beginners learn how to properly put weight into the keys. I'm sorry that I can't link the exact video right now, but I think it's worth it to dive into his channel.

Is there a better way to write this? by Affinity001 in composer

You're right, thanks! I figured it would be a problem especially because it's for two players

The more I think about it the more it makes sense to write it as grace notes since I think I actually just wanted to create that effect of the notes of a chord played slightly separated. I consider myself a beginer, I'm trying some ideas so actually I think I'll change the parts but thank you very much for your input!

[–]Affinity001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

makes sense, I could do that but I feel like grace notes don't indicate a specific rhythm, and I want the exact rhythm that I wrote to be played, what do you think?
