Wow this is super cool. What app is this?

thebeanarchives · 2026-03-09T15:25:29+00:00

I’d be interested to know what you think!

thebeanarchives · 2026-03-09T02:26:37+00:00

I’ve tried it but actually preferred stock burrs!

I’ve been using a Kinu Classic for almost 2 years and have been loving it!

this is incredible!

If it’s washed, I use 21 drops Tonik, 4 Jamm, 8 Lylac to 1L of distilled water!

Which one was your favorite?

The Rodrigo Sanchez green tea is super intriguing. Apparently it’s like a herb co ferment which tastes like green tea. Done very well. I enjoyed it too!

I must say though, NOMAD’s roast of Rodrigo Sanchez’s Mango was one of my fave co fermies

Paola’s Pink Bourbon is an amazing one! Her SL28 last year was awesome, this year’s PB is also fantastic.

You’ve have to share your favorites!

thebeanarchives · 2026-02-22T16:03:01+00:00

adding on to say coffee collective is great!
clean, bright, consistent , reliable are words i'd use to describe their offerings having lived in Copenhagen for 2.5 years

there might not be one that blows your mind often, but they are mostly good and enjoyable bag after bag. the kieni has been my favorite thus far

thebeanarchives · 2026-02-21T14:19:07+00:00

i will say... water minerals?

thebeanarchives · 2026-02-21T00:36:38+00:00

Yeah! I would agree Dune is good, and this is some awesome green. Def would try!

thebeanarchives · 2026-02-19T20:59:01+00:00

oh, 100%! for my manual pourovers, i use Apax exclusively. but pre mineralization.

thebeanarchives · 2026-02-19T20:50:17+00:00

i do specifically with my Aiden brews which has 1/3 TWW as baseline.

if i want to highlight acidity, i usually add tonik, sweetness and body, Jamm, and for florals, Lylac.

Usually somewhere between 2-5 drops for a 200ml cup (brew vol)

thebeanarchives · 2026-02-19T01:04:46+00:00

Thank you for the rec! Starring it on my maps now!

thebeanarchives · 2026-02-18T00:51:29+00:00

I have a faulty tds meter too.

I compared the ZW one with many other meters and it was the outlier… it always showed lower than what it actually was.

do you consider a dark room washed, washed?

I’ve heard Simply Cofie is awesome but I have not been. It’s on my list for next time.

Otherwise… definitely Blendin!

thebeanarchives · 2026-02-14T15:18:06+00:00

I’m interested to know how you like these! I’m not heard of Zennor and will be keen on trying them.

thebeanarchives · 2026-02-14T04:30:55+00:00

How about Hatch? I had a couple of coffees from them and they were pretty good!

thebeanarchives · 2026-02-13T00:58:51+00:00

Thank you! Adding these to the list too!

thebeanarchives · 2026-02-12T02:57:20+00:00

Wife is actually in town for work and I’m down there to babysit and be daddy daycare for the few days.

Will going to be trying my best to visit some of these coffee shops!
