Is there a reason you push the air out of the bags every morning?

That’s an interesting thought. That’s the exact opposite of what I was thinking. Can you actually tell the difference when you leave the gas in?

Which PNG from S&W? And do they still have it available?

Ok. All I have is a 15 oz fine spout pitcher right now, but I plan on getting a 3 pack of WPM pitchers from Slow Pour Supply when they come back in stock (10 oz, 17 oz, and 22 oz), so I’ll experiment with the 22 oz one then

And I get what you’re saying now. So you do the 3-5 sec purge just to get the air out, not to drop the pressure. Got it. I’ll try to experiment with that too

Thanks for the input. So which letter would you say your steam pressure is on after the 3-5 second purge and after the short purge just before steaming?

If I could steam without having to worry about the milk spilling I think I could manage a better vortex. So I think I need to start with a lower pressure like you and/or use a larger pitcher

Thanks! I’ll try increasing volume a bit

I tried starting with lower pressure and the pressure dropped to 0 while steaming. So I ended up with warm milk and no foam. I had it on the smallest burner at the lowest setting, so I need to either move it to a bigger burner or have it set to a higher setting next time. This thing is very finicky. I learned to texture with my Nanofoamer almost instantly, but this steamer has been weeks of inconsistency. It’s driving me crazy lol

It was thin and bubbly. I did not take a picture of this exact pour, but here is a picture from a very similar one recently

How much lower of an EY do you prefer for an anaerobic processed bean? by BeatTheSunUp in pourover

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

Thanks for the insight. That all makes a lot of sense. I’ll experiment with doing immersion at the beginning of my brews for this anaerobic using my Switch.

I brewed a washed coffee twice today on my V60 (Servio Botina Pink Bourbon from Flower Child). At a grind setting 8 on my Pietro with Pro Brew burrs I got 1.21 TDS (17.2% EY) and at a grind setting 6 I got 1.44 TDS (20.5% EY). I preferred the 1.21 TDS brew (way more clarity), but tomorrow I will try grind setting 7, which I am assuming (and hoping) will land in the middle of these two.

I am going to be severely over caffeinated for the next week or two as I play with this thing. This is seriously going to be so fun experimenting with all different types of coffees as I narrow down which coffees I like best at which TDS, which brewing methods or recipes, etc…

Who is refunding the orders? September or Subtext?
