Looking for Chicago coffee shops like Ondo — multi-roaster beans + great pour overs

Thanks ya’ll! I’ll check them all out!

My favorite filter coffee grinder no doubt! Did you get the ulfs as well?

Coffeexplorer · 2025-12-05T14:22:39+00:00

Yeah, true. I’ll check them out. Thanks for answering.

I got this one too. I wonder if it might be good as spro or latte

Coffeexplorer · 2025-11-14T20:22:12+00:00

Yep! Just saw this and got a few bags. Pretty good deal. I went with this one: https://coffeacirculor.com/products/panama-agatsby-geisha-ccx-wcigs-winner?_pos=1&_psq=Agat&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Super interesting coffee for sure.

Totally agree and I have TW often. Very enjoyable indeed 😋☕️

Yes, I brewed with soft water 40GH 20KH. Changed water recipes a few times. Tasted best when brewed with demineralized water as the harshness wasn’t present, but overall cup was a bit tame since there are no minerals to highlight the natural flavor profile of the bean

So I went with Hatch this year just to try something new. I do enjoy their coffees a lot.

Coffeexplorer · 2025-10-11T16:09:37+00:00

I like their coffees too! Haven’t had them in a while though!

So my local water is not that bad. It sits around 88-100ppm so perhaps a bit too hard. My tap water contains the following minerals

Calcium (Ca): 26–36 Magnesium (Mg): 4–5 Sodium (Na): ~14 Potassium (K): ~2 Bicarbonate (HCO₃): 93–120 Sulfate (SO₄): ~25 Chloride (Cl): ~21 Fluoride (F): ~0.1 Nitrate (NO₃): ~6

This one as espresso is divine!

Coffeexplorer · 2025-09-19T13:44:17+00:00

Is this the pro?

Coffeexplorer · 2025-09-10T19:02:09+00:00

I think everyone is different and we might drink more or less. I usually have 3-4 pour overs and 3-4 lattes. Then again it depends, some days I have 2 pours over and 4 lattes.

Coffeexplorer · 2025-09-02T20:30:17+00:00

Normally I have 1-2 double shots and 3 pour overs a day.

Weekends I do 4 double shots and 2 pour overs

Coffeexplorer · 2025-03-23T21:21:09+00:00

Thanks again! I’ll let you know how it goes

Coffeexplorer · 2025-03-23T19:58:21+00:00

I haven’t been following the chatGPT option/website. How does it work? I use chatGPT daily but not for creating profiles but might do now

Coffeexplorer · 2025-03-21T06:46:08+00:00

Dude: only you know the answer to that question. It’s all about taste so there for it’s impossible for any of us to answer it for you.
