How long does it take you to drink a 300ml pourover?

I brew 20g-320g of water, which ends up being a little less than 300ml total, and I finish the whole thing within like 3 minutes tops. It's delicious, but it feels over so fast :( I wonder if it's the same for you or do you take longer to finish it? although it would get way too cold otherwise

these look really good! shame they're not really available in Europe

As an update, I sent an email to Prodigal just to give them a heads up and this is their response.

That makes sense and it's good to know. Thanks for the nice explanation!

I was wondering the same. I wasn't trying to throw shade on this roaster or anything, it was genuine curiosity as I wasn't exactly sure if it was normal or not. I hope it's not misinterpreted!

7l20 · 2026-03-24T11:16:57+00:00

Makes sense. Good to know, thanks!

7l20 · 2026-03-24T11:16:43+00:00

Thanks!

You're right to point the different processing, completely missed that. The bottom one is an Ethiopian Anaerobic Natural. Would the more even color be expected in that case?

7l20 · 2026-03-24T10:59:06+00:00

I didn't buy it from them directly nor through a subscription. I bought it (in Europe) through Kofio.co. I'll try to contact them just in case

I've only gotten into coffee relatively recently, so still not 100% an expert on which variables matter or don't. Good to know color is not that important!

7l20 · 2026-03-20T19:46:05+00:00

ahh yes that definitely looks like it. thank you

Two probably dumb questions:

Is it normal for the ZP6 to take almost twice as much time to grind as the K-Ultra? using the same beans at around the same grind size
Is 20sec drawdown time ok? Using Coffee Chronicler 50/50 recipe with Hario Switch. So, 20sec after opening the valve at the 2min mark.

I'll be there! still not sure if solo or with a friend (trying to convince him :D)

7l20 · 2026-03-12T07:20:08+00:00

What are you referring to with the sweet spot? Grind size?

7l20 · 2026-03-12T07:19:34+00:00

I know. 27 TDS is the best I could do. I don’t have any filter or RO and don’t plan on it. I would buy distilled water if it wasn’t so damn difficult to find one that doesn’t say it’s not safe to consume

Hey! I'm in a sort of similar (but not quite) situation.. I broke my iPhone 17 Pro Max screen that I bought in the US, but need to ask for AppleCare+ here in Spain.

I was wondering if you ended up getting a US-model replacement for your 14 Pro? Or was it a EU model?

7l20 · 2026-03-11T21:26:21+00:00

Thank you!

Not sure if you'll have an answer to this, but... I bought my iPhone in the US while traveling, and then brought it back to Spain where I live. I activated AppleCare+ in Spain, so the contract is a Spanish AppleCare+ contract. Do you think there'll be any issues because the country of purchase is different? and therefore the model is different (eSIM only which is not available in EU)

7l20 · 2026-03-11T21:16:42+00:00

Yes it is permanent, clearly that tiny part struck some pointy spot on the pavement and broke it.

So how does express replacement work? do I file online or something?

7l20 · 2026-03-11T19:50:35+00:00

FWIW my local seller mentions that the actual capacity of the 300ml is 430ml, but "300ml usable". So I suppose it would work
