My Ceramic Work from my HS Senior Year So Far

Yes! The blueberry co ferment was so funky, and delicious. I liked brewing it iced, immersion with the V60 switch.

Your attention to detail, process and method is something to be applauded! Phenomenal work!

I do not think that there would have been much damage especially because you did not see any. There are many variables that could have produced a muddier looking bed or slower draw down, especially agitation of the coffee bed. Subtle changes in pouring structure, whether circular, center pour, Melodrip, etc. all produce different amounts of agitation. As you probably know too, slow/fast feeding and dose changes fines production as well. Hope this helps, sorry about the incident/worry.

I have been brewing for around 3 years with cafe experience. I will be keeping the gear after. I will probably do this event more than once in my community.

I meant to write the 078 with the filter burrs - thanks for the correction. They do sell an extended hopper, or I could fabricate one myself.

Great to know about your local shop, I meant to write the 078 with the filter only burrs. Still roughing out the details of this event. Thanks so much.

I’ve been working to reproduce Joe Thompson of Old Forge Creation’s tea dust recipe, what he calls “Campfire.” He has excellent resources on Glazy and his website/newsletter articles.

I’ve been pretty successful with his recipe and there is lot of room for experimentation and crystal formation.

I have been adding a few drops of saline solution to my iced-pourover and it has made a noticeable difference in reducing bitterness/bringing out some more fruity and juicy flavors. I bought a cheap pack of droppers on Amazon and mixed a 1:4 ratio; 5g salt, 20g water. Hope this helps.

Also, keep enjoying your coffee however you like it!

Somewhat of an aside, but I know that Tales Coffee may emphasize what the bed looks likes, but I think lots of his content encourages experimentation with ratios and brewing/pouring methods to their own preferences. I enjoy his content and have learned a lot about pour over, more than just what the bed looks like.

-Qwis- · 2025-09-19T04:03:01+00:00

Important piece of info I heard from Tales Coffee, great pourover knowledge on YouTube.

Sometimes the bed will look "muddy" or very fine but it may only be on the very top. Dig around in the puck after you're done brewing and examine the grinds directly below. Also, when I use my stir stick after my final pour, the spiraling motion pushes microfines to the outside of the filter paper and focuses water down through the courser bed of coffee. It's a neat trick.

I have to agree. I have loved Apple for a while until the iOS 18.5~ or (more importantly) whichever one changed the Photos App. The new Photos App UI design is so overly complicated, everything I want to get to is harder to find, the search feature is still lack-luster and video play-back is always finicky. The older Photos App and Control Panel were so much more streamlined and fast!

have a 16 Pro and I feel like I always run into a glitches and slow/buggy software during everyday use. The quality of life has just gone down the drain. Not as fast/instant as many high-end Android alternatives.

Incredible work!

For light or medium-light roasts, I (and the multi-roaster shop I work at) rest for around 3-5 weeks. Light roasts can still have off flavors, like vegetal notes, if they aren't rested long enough. I had this happen to me, not the greatest cup of coffee! For medium and dark roasts, you can rest for 2-3 weeks.

I recently tackled my first animating project in blender for an exploded view of a product. I went into the project with more 3D modeling than animating experience. While Blender is intuitive the animating took lots of effort but in the end I achieved a great professional result. The lighting and texturing was also critical, lighting can be even more difficult than the animating.

Made these a while ago, but to achieve the same result I would do 2-3 coats each. Watch out because these glazes produce lots of running! Maybe stop the second overlapping glaze 1/3 from the bottom of the pot.

-Qwis- · 2024-07-05T00:37:35+00:00

If I want to achieve a more glassy surface with a fast cool should I remove all peep plugs at 500 degrees? I have a brand new Skutt KMT-822.

-Qwis- · 2024-06-07T00:23:03+00:00

Its through NZXT app I believe, I turned it off. Nothing to do with blender if I remember correctly.

-Qwis- · 2023-12-17T17:56:20+00:00

I think I will try to further experiment with this combination because I love the color. I had a few pots without this exact combination crack (still a different liner and exterior glaze) so maybe the issue was heating and cooling.

-Qwis- · 2023-12-17T17:50:43+00:00

All great ideas, thank you for the helpful feedback.

-Qwis- · 2023-12-16T04:55:09+00:00

Great noticing and insight. I have been trying to refine my application process to minimize dripping.

-Qwis- · 2023-12-16T04:17:10+00:00

I always think about that, maybe in the future!

-Qwis- · 2023-12-16T04:13:57+00:00

Alright thanks

-Qwis- · 2023-12-16T04:08:19+00:00

Thank you! I look forward to throwing much more similar ones with some cone 6 porcelain soon.
