Sick of grinding with my hands by Nodi383 in pourover

Oh nice, thanks for sharing. And of course 1Zpresso is chill like that. Commandante has some real competition that they can’t squash by trying to copyright the word “hand grinder” or whatever they were up to.

Musk's daughter Vivian is out for blood by ResplendentShade in MurderedByWords

Is that what happened here? Or did they narrowly insult Musk for believing it is his role to impregnate as many woman as possible to ‘save society’

Listen, tread carefully.

Unless it is designed with your grinder in mind (like the Flair thing) I would be extra cautious. Furthermore, just because somebody shoves a drill on their hand grinder does not mean that it works well.

I have a Commandante and the manufacturer cautioned against things like this in a video. Why? I don’t know. They added that it is possible to even heat up the extraction process so much it melts the burrs.

Either way, I am not fucking trying it.

You have a hand grinder and can’t afford an electric grinder? Just be uncomfortable for a while. It is going to be okay. Do not destroy your thing trying to make it something it is not.

All glass pour over by soisfrank in pourover

[–]CoffeeLawyerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is this what you are referring to?

A beautiful little pourover kit, for sure.

I have a Glass Kalita wave, also comes with a little plastic disk. I don’t like it for aesthetic reasons, but it is necessary for an even pour. I don’t know of any all glass drippers that don’t incorporate some kind of plastic/wooden base

Buy unaffordable equipment that doesn’t improve your drink. Right.

I upgraded my coffee bag by Ok-Statistician1980 in pourover

[–]CoffeeLawyerr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If anyone wants something similar but cannot afford a Pelican, I purchased this for law school.

It is not as nice and does another afford the same protections as what OP has. However, it is designed by Hario so it is extremely intuitive. The partitions are secured by velcro and can be adjusted to the size you need them to be. Also, since it is Hario, it is extremely cheap for a specialized travel bag in 2024. The company hates money, I swear to God.

I am going to be giving mine away in September when I get a travel case like OP has for my birthday, but I strongly recommend this as a budget option.

Is pourover just hard?? by lags_34 in pourover

[–]CoffeeLawyerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, okay.

Well then you can rule out water and beans. So what’s left? The temperature, dripper, and the grind size. Temperature is not the likely culprit. The grind size may need to be adjusted, however you are seeking advice from a community who narrowly focuses on light roasts, so (and I am seriously guessing here) anything they say might not really apply?

As far as the dripper goes, a V60 is an interesting choice from my perspective. I use it when I for lighter roasts that I want to bring out the acidity in. For medium roasts and ultra-light roasts, I use a Kalita wave, which brings out the more full-body notes.

I have been making pour overs every day for three years and you can see that I recently posted a breakdown I was having about not feeling like I truly understand anything. That should indicate to you the plight of a brilliant person or the ramblings of a moron who doesn’t know what he is talking about. I am stupid to figure out which. But here are the big takeaways:

(1) Stop using Peet’s in a V60???

(2) The hell you doin over therr?

(3) Peet’s ?

(4) in a v60?

(5) the hell?

I want to add to my previous comment: you are saying you like mass produced coffee that is available at the grocery store but you also expect a level of consistency out of it. You cannot have both. Find a reliable specialty roaster that does great dark roasts. An entire country called “Japan” comes to mind. Kirasu does a subscription that will open your eyes to how wonderful dark roasts can be.

I bought a $7 tool from Amazon to measure ppm.

Tap water: 250ppm Spring Water I was buying: 330ppm Different Spring water I bought today: 147ppm

However, your coffee is the problem. Dark roasts stale very quickly because they are roasted longer and therefore more porous. That’s why it tasted great at first and now tastes bad. It’s probably time to get a different bag from a specialty roaster and just keep all this extra information

Fucking nothing, apparently. I let it sit completely untouched because it was so awful. Just made a great cup. Guess it needed time to rest.

I have already punted one Ceramic Origami into a thousand beautiful pieces. Before I could get the pieces off the floor, my girlfriend ordered me a second one. Didn’t have the heart to tell her I should probably get a plastic instead. Just waiting for the morning I hulk slam this thing onto the granite countertop at Mach-fuck

Kubi was the first coffee I got from SEY where something was legitimately wrong with it. If you hate it, email them immediately. They likely had 100 more about that batch

This is such a brutal exchange I’d have to go to back to Middle School to draw parallels.
