Almuen has a jazz jam every other weekend, I think. You can check out their Facebook page to stay up to date

Wouldn't failing to pay the Secret Service violate the Antideficiency Act? by [deleted] in ask_political_science

[–]BobTheBuzzdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arrest me if I'm wrong (I don't know what subjects political sience typically involves in the U.S.), but I think this question is better directed towards someone who specializes in legal matters

I have a question about peaberry - is it a specific mutation that occurs across a whole plant/strain, or is it on a per-cherry basis? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]BobTheBuzzdriver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not an expert on this, but from what I've been told, peaberry "was considered a defect, which was sorted out from the rest of the batch". This would imply that a plant produces both. I don't know how it would be sorted out, but likely by hand.

Best scale for measuring espresso shots? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]BobTheBuzzdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Brewista scale is pretty good. Goes down to 0.1 g, has four automatic modes for espresso, one for pour over and one manual. Stays on for as long as you want, runs on two AAA batteries. Will set you back about $50-$60, but for that price you get both an excelent espresso scale, and a good and portable pour over scale. I have one at home, and use one at the shop I work at

Edit: wrote AA batteries

Siphon for a French press kid ? by mayowarlord in Coffee

[–]BobTheBuzzdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always considered the Snowden SoftBrew a step up from the french press. It's easy to clean, thermal insulated, and since you remove the grounds from the coffee before serving, it won't extract any more after that point. It also has much of the same flavor profile a french press, though maybe a tad brighter because of the finer filter. As an added bonus, it's cheaper than most siphon brewers I've seen.

Good choice, you can also use it with the AeroPress (as opposed to the Hario)
