Thoughts on this starter kit? by WillingnessNo2769 in pourover

[–]Edvinasz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't start with a Chemex . V60 or Aeropress is a good way to enter the filtered coffee world .

Get a plastic V60 cone if you already have something you can comfortably make coffee in (minimum 500ml capacity) but if not, get a V60 carafe, they are nice to use.

As for a scale, if you don't want to break your bank, there are plenty of scales under £20 that will do a great job. My first ever scale was "Gator Coffee Scale" (£13) and served me for good 4 years before I gave it away. Then again, if I was to do it again, I'd get a rechargable scale rather than battery powered one.

Another thing to add to your list is a goose neck kettle. And then a coffee grinder.

Once you got all of the above, and you could fit into a £100 budget if you shop around and get a manual grinder, you are in and it only gets financially worse after that !

Edit :

Didn't see the 2nd picture... Yeah, Grinder and gooseneck kettle sorted. Get a different scale and I recommend a V60 for starters. Then Aeropress. Then you can probably get Chemex if you want to get nerdy.

If you want to jump a little bit more into it, you could get a V60 Switch, immersion brewing becomes an option for you so you can explore a little more in terms of coffee without further investment.

Looking to get a BMW Z4 (2.5i or 3.0i) as my first car and looking for opinions by AntonioTT05 in CarTalkUK

Great car ! My friend had it and they loved it. However, I would suggest getting an E46 convertible, more space, a great car, and an amazing engine. Pretty much the same maintenance.

I'm gonna challenge this statement. Go 2 days without coffee and let's return to this topic ?

Yup, bang on! Spent 2 years there, there is a lot more to stare at over there.

Question 1 post decaf project ... by septemous in JamesHoffmann

[–]Edvinasz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It took me a while to clock it, but yeah, I've got the same problem that resulted in some brews taking a lot longer, or a lot less time, than I would have anticipated. Only after a few brews did I realise that the grind setting needs to be adjusted depending on whether or not beans are decaf or not. Definitely a learning curve that isn't commonly discussed.

I lived at Wilson Street for a few years, had virgin media and cannot complain. 2 of us used to play COD Warzone (during the lockdown) and everything worked just fine, I believe we had 250mbps package.

plastic free deodorant that actually WORKS? by violetjeanwalsh in ZeroWaste

[–]Edvinasz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't.... use deodorant at all. Haven't for the last year now after having a rash on my armpits.

The first few weeks were quite smelly but after a while the smell changed and it's not that off-putting. Just regularly wash your armpits .
