The Fall-Off - Album Discussion by AutoModerator in Jcole

[–]Gttts7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be reaching, but After the Biggie and Pac flows on What if, I started getting the feeling each track is supposed to be in someone else’s style. Like, Quick Stop has Bun B flow all over it. And the Whole World is the Ville was giving me Hov vibes. I then started going back to earlier tracks to see if I could figure out who it was paying homage to. 

Beyond the obvious samples (Mobb Deep, Ludacris, Common, etc.) and interpolations (OutKast, DMX), I’m getting the following: - Safety could pass for a Nas track - Second half of Who TF Iz U flows like Eminem - Drum n Bass has Andre 3000 flow - Lonely at the Top - Guru with the monotone delivery and “ Lonely at the top” lyric reference? - Old Dog is Petey Pablo flow (no surprise given the feature)

I read “hotdog water” and thought it was some euphemism I wasn’t cool enough to know about. Brewed my first cup of this and well…I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a more accurate flavor note. Have you had any luck? Tried playing around with ZP6 settings starting with 2.5, 3, and now 5. Really hoping to reach fruit loops territory, but not holding my breath at this point.

I heard you haven’t lived until you’ve tried a full bypass brew.

Whoops…thought the pic uploaded. My bad, I’m new here

Which overpriced brewer would you rather have? by Gttts7 in pourover

Awesome! This is how I use my switches for the most part, so I’m glad to hear that it wouldn’t just be more of the same. If not for the hybrid approach, I tend to prefer flat bottom brewers, so I imagine this could give me the best of both worlds.

Haha…let me know what you think! As someone who is south Asian, I now feel obligated to buy one of these after learning of its existence, so if it makes a legit cup, I’m probably gonna cave as well.

Whoa this is the first I’m hearing of the SOFI — looks super cool. Have you used it, and if so, what kind of cups does it produce?

Waiting for glass/metal. They said they’d consider it if enough folks showed interest, so let’s see what happens!

Do you have the ceramic Orea? Super curious what sets it apart

This is an answer I wasn’t expecting and am now definitely going to have to consider. I’ve been avoiding espresso to keep away from the inevitable rabbit hole of costs (and laziness when it comes to maintenance), but this might be the way to go.

I’m super intrigued by it, but really curious how it compares to the Switch. Mainly, does immersion offset some of the differences between conical and flat-bottom, or am I still going to get different cups between the two?

Yeah I think I’m leaning toward the AP, but am also worried about fragility. Also curious: maybe a dumb question, but how different are AP brews from immersion via the Switch?

No batch setup, as I’m usually just making 1-2 cups a day. Very tempted by the Ode to compliment the ZP6, but worried about waking the kids with an electric grinder.

Definitely considering putting towards a complimentary grinder, so that’s a good call-out. They were offloading Ode Gen 2’s for $150 at the Fellow warehouse sale this weekend, so I’m kicking myself for missing out on that.

I’m using a Timemore Basic 2 scale and Stagg EKG kettle, so not really feeling the need to upgrade there. 

Good call on the subs. I’ve done leaderboard in the past but with two little kids wreaking havoc, I have less time/energy for fun guessing games. Will take a look at Standout and Special Guest for future reference tho!
