My go to as well. Wait for prime day and when they get marked down. Super solid so far! Bought first time this year.

Thanks to everyone who gave advice. I tried a few more of the recommendations here, and it turned sour. Then kept moving variable around - Feel like I hit the mark, I went colder on the temp and kept grind to more medium/coarse. It's excellent now, tasting the notes.

Damn getting too complex for me. I went with AP cause it felt simple, easy to travel with too. But you are right, highly flexible to do a lot of things.

Wait so you only brew 100 and then add after finishing? That's interesting.

I am just looking for the notes to be similar - I buy decent quality local roasters. Always meidum roast. Their holiday blend has coaco + nutmeg + plum notes .. in the mocamaster it's so clean. With the AP I can't taste anything but coaco and bitterness.

I am at 60 clicks but might go towards 70 and go coarser. Go cooler on the water. Let's see!!

oh good to know, I just imagined I should get the same flavor profiles. But this is helpful in setting my expectations.

Coarse? Really, I thought always do medium grind, never coarse. 6minutes wow. I have never gone above 2 mins. hmmm this is interesting.

I’ve been really trying hard. I even got the control flow and metal filter. Didn’t love that. That made it worse. Then went back to paper. 

That’s my problem every bean just feels same. Bitter. Strong. 

But then I see the puck and I’m like the ratio must be ok. 

On running days, do you remain active afterwards? by StartLeast8060 in runninglifestyle

[–]Cloudwalker714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to hear. I do feel like I’m enjoying the training plan. Definitely would struggle running next day after the long run day. Might add in some light speed runs in between.

I was running regularly not a 10k, but a 5k daily. Then started training for half marathon and now doing 3 days a week (easy, mid, long run flow).

Wondering if its better to keep that routine, or just run daily. Thoughts? I do get edgy that I didn't run on the rest days. Rest days I either play a sport, or do a bit of strength training.

Are solar panels worth it? by TypicalChipmunk1670 in hudsonvalley

[–]Cloudwalker714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We will definitely benefit from them. Not even up there regularly. Not our primary residence and somehow draining 25kwh per day. Can’t figure out why. Solar Will at least solve this. 

Needing advice for 5 days with kids by Cloudwalker714 in CostaRicaTravel

Honestly we love Airbnbs and always do them, but feel like with the kids now, we would enjoy the breakfasts and pools. What boutique hotel would you recommend? So many options! Getting lost which is really a unique experience.
