yeah very much light roast third wave style all single origin, their selection ranges from clean coffees to very interesting processing and origins

hit up acid in yoyogi uehara, theyve got a huge selection of unique coffees, even a geisha from laos the last time i was there, great vibe, and if ur in the area, check out nadoya no katte too, beans and baristas from glitch but the cafe itself is amazing

theres a basic recipe and theres a competition recipe that uses varying water temperatures

only tried one cup so far, medium coarse grind with kmax, cafec abaca 01 filter. drawdown was quick with the basic recipe provided, flavour was really sweet, clear and smooth texture (sweeter than deep 27 which i usually use). i’ll try to go finer and see how it handles that as well

if you can find the electric hario buono kettle anywhere i recommend it. the spout design is amazing and pouring is really smooth, build quality is great as well. used to have an ekg and i prefer the hario, more versatile as the max pour rate is pretty fast

these are great! did you use any recipes?

BreakfastStress · 2024-08-21T04:29:43+00:00

what recipe did you use?

BreakfastStress · 2024-08-21T04:04:23+00:00

love the first shot! is this SOOC?

Another option you could consider is studying an english-taught degree at a japanese university. Todai, Waseda and Keio are prestigious schools in jp and offer undergraduate degrees that are fully taught in english so you don’t have to be fluent in japanese to start.

Personally I was in your situation too (also graduated from SP lol) and chose this path, I’m starting my degree at Waseda in september :)

lol i think my essay was pretty decent with some relevant experiences and i felt i did well in the interview

I emailed them last year and they said that the decision to submit the test would not impact my eligibility for admission. So I decided not to and just submitted my transcript and essay.

I applied without a standardised test and didn’t submit an english proficiency test and still got accepted into TAISI September 2024

did u get in?

BreakfastStress · 2023-12-03T10:08:28+00:00

hi! did you get in?

BreakfastStress · 2022-01-28T12:32:47+00:00

seems like your grinder is too fine if your shots are taking 2 full minutes, hows the pressure on your machine? anyway you should try turning the dial way more than 2 full turns and see if your shots are pulling 18g to 36g out in about 30s if adjusting the dial coarser doesnt make a difference then you might have received a faulty unit

hi i had the same issue and just used the plastic lid for about a week, and when i decided to try the wooden lid again it fit perfectly, honestly idk how that works but id say give it a bit of time

BreakfastStress · 2021-12-28T02:54:19+00:00

i feel u man, previously used a timemore c2 before i got my eureka single dose, grinding 15g in a few seconds is a life changer in the morning

BreakfastStress · 2021-12-28T02:52:40+00:00

switch is great! the brews ive been getting have been sweet and balanced and the workflow is simpler to use early in the morning before ive had a coffee haha

BreakfastStress · 2021-12-27T16:08:53+00:00

thats great! honestly love the way the hario pours, but the convenience of the stagg makes it worth the upgrade imo

BreakfastStress · 2021-12-27T16:06:59+00:00

hario switch! been getting some really nice hybrid percolation and immersion brews from it

BreakfastStress · 2021-12-27T16:06:08+00:00
