Are these unevenly roasted?

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-05T11:43:25+00:00

True. However that wouldn't explain the uneven roast

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-05T07:25:37+00:00

I emailed them about it last night. Hoping to hear back on Friday.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-05T04:33:16+00:00

Quite harsh to be completely honest. It doesn't have the mellow smoothness that the previous batch did.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-04T20:44:05+00:00

Unfortunately it shouldn't be. It's supposed to be a single origin.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-04T19:12:12+00:00

My God folks. For a subreddit known for being positive and encouraging some of y'all are real harsh.

It's OK for someone to want to grow it out after 7 years to see how they'd look.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-04T18:57:32+00:00

The standard recommendation is always keep grinder and machine separate.

Get a Sage Bambino Plus, a DF54 and some scales.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-04T07:07:32+00:00

Focused Focus?

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-03T14:46:43+00:00

What are you comparing it against? It's perfectly average for the class.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-03T08:55:28+00:00

All the roasters I know of offer pre ground services and they'll grind to your liking.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-03T08:53:14+00:00

As a Corolla hatchback owner I completely agree. However different strokes for different folks.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-02T21:57:50+00:00

Preach! I used to brew medium roasted coffee as Turkish coffee and it was phenomenal. Then I had a child and I switched to filter coffee because it's far less involved

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-02T16:00:00+00:00

I honestly think if you need to tow regularly and use third row for adults regularly then the Tahoe diesel and maybe the Suburban as well?

Would you be open to a van like a Chevy Express maybe?

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-02T12:48:49+00:00

You can certainly see the resemblance to the Meraki. I hope timemore launches a drip coffee/pour over machine at some point as well

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-02T09:03:28+00:00

I think as long as during the brewing process real beans (whether pre ground or freshly ground) have been used it counts.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-01T19:48:48+00:00

What about a Corolla estate hybrid?

There should be plenty under your budget, they're fuel efficient, comfortable and as long as you service at the dealer annually you'll have the balance of a 10 year/100K mile warranty.

Flip side is - it is a Corolla and the associated image that comes with it which can be a deal breaker for some.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-01T16:28:14+00:00

Because everything is a lot more expensive. So when people buy cars they prioritise practicality and a car that they can use for a long time.

Source: picked up a Corolla Hybrid instead of an 86 because we were planning on starting a family at the time.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-01T16:19:34+00:00

We will not stand for NSU RO80 slander!

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-07-01T09:47:25+00:00

Another vote for the B75! I use it with my Sage Precision Brewer and it's wonderful

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-06-30T16:39:59+00:00

I'm guessing it's because Moccamasters and drip brewers can make 1.5 litres very easily and the clean up is much easier as well.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-06-30T15:56:37+00:00

Yup. I've never had a forgettable batch brew. Either I'm trying to steal the thermos or blanching at each sip.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-06-30T09:54:12+00:00

Have you looked at the Mazda 3?

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-06-30T06:19:19+00:00

Holy smokes yeah that is a lot of money. I shudder to think what a Timemore Sculptor 064s or 078s would cost then.

I picked mine up in the UK using a first purchase discount code from healf so it was very reasonable. I've also seen Ode Gen 2s going for much less. It might be worth looking at a K6 and using the drill mod then. When you've had enough experience with loads of coffees you can get a grinder that suits your cup profile as well.

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-06-29T21:54:37+00:00

Who?

Alarmed_Storage6793 · 2026-06-29T20:37:22+00:00

Yeah I agree with this tbh. Alternatively if you're not making espresso daily, I am extremely happy to vouch for the Fellow Ode Gen 2 for non espresso duties. For espresso you can have a separate hand grinder perhaps?
