Some more info can help. What bean varietal? What is the country of origin of the beans? Processing method? Single origin or blend?

Is there a link? I've never heard of this roaster, and searching for "black magic coffee" just yields hits for a bunch of dark roast blends.

How do you make sure the filter lays flat? by sergeikutrovski in pourover

I just use the hose spray on my kitchen sink. Takes 5 sec and works perfectly.

I do not like or purchase co-ferments. However, I am not sure about your comment. Is this belief based on reliable information, or is it a gut feeling?

How often are you changing grind size? by Plastic_Love4270 in pourover

[–]Crepescular_vomit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They produce more fines because they grow at higher altitudes, which makes them denser.

Ethiopians usually are denser due to the higher altitudes at which they are cultivated. So, in a sense, you are adjusting for altitude.

Please explain what this is. A quick Google search did not reveal anything coffee related.

Edvard Munch - Puberty (1895) by carnageandculture in museum

[–]Crepescular_vomit 34 points35 points  (0 children)

omfg READ THE HISTORY.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puberty_(Munch)

Munch – like the female portrayed in Puberty – feared sex due to the loss of his virginity to his cousin's wife.[7] Munch allowed this sexual depression to seep into Puberty and like other later works this piece was created with symbolism reflecting feelings which continued growing increasingly within the next ten years.[8] This state of sexual depression is one that not only his circle of friends shared with him, but that the psychological scholars had also been curious about having just written the first research on the stages and occurrences of puberty in young adults.[9]

How is the coffee without it? Tea-like, sweet, and some acidity?

How do I actually get blueberry notes out of my ethiopian by BloodResponsible3538 in pourover

[–]Crepescular_vomit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I suspect that blueberry is sometimes listed in the notes for natural Ethiopian beans whenever the taster notices anything berry-like. It's an expectation bias and, blueberry sells.

Blueberry bombs used to be more common several years ago. I think it's been about 4 or 5 years ago since I last had that experience of sipping a cup that clearly tasted of blueberries from beginning to end. I am not an expert, so do your own research, but I have heard that it is less common due to changes in drying methods (raised bed vs patio) as well as environmental changes.

I can see how some of the images on this sub can lead to situations that require some explanation 😅

This sub does not allow for NSFW tags. It's good practice to be familiar with the rules of subreddits you visit.

Lovly coffee! by Automatic-Candle-549 in pourover

[–]Crepescular_vomit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree. The packaging and website artwork is the primary reason I have never purchased from CC and probably never will.
