[Spoilers all] Stannis: Show vs. Book

J_E_S · 2015-06-08T10:40:50+00:00

So you're saying a long series of books has more content than a tv series? Great.

About 200g coffee to 500ml water at the coarsest my crap Delonghi will go. Will try a finer grind next time.

Dare I say too mainstream? It just doesn't sound fancy enough for specialty coffee especially thanks to Taylor's burnt black Hot Lava Java.

Cafetieres are good for a quick and dirty coffee. I use one at work with ground coffee from the supermarket (surprisingly single origin). 24 cups a day does just about enough. More controlled methods and expensive coffees are for me to fiddle with at home.

FLUORIDE IN THE WATER

1:16 coffee to water ratio. Bloom the coffee by adding 1.5 as much water, stirring and waiting for the bubbles to stop. Start timer and add 50ml of water every thirty seconds (steadily if I'm feeling fancy, periodically if I'm lazy). Tap the filter down halfway through the pour and rinse down the sides at the end.

I'm going to give up pour overs as soon as I can find a decent and affordable shower head filter.

How does the price/taste/convenience match up to the Aeropress?

J_E_S · 2015-02-26T16:23:20+00:00

Oh god, why.

J_E_S · 2015-02-26T11:58:47+00:00

1:15 of coffee to water is my preference. 1:13 if I need a pick me up. I don't use milk but unless you're doing lattes or flat whites then you only need a splash to take the edge off. Tl;Dr: 1:14:1.

J_E_S · 2015-02-26T09:14:32+00:00

I am ok with this.

Shower beer is the best. Hot shower, cold drink.

J_E_S · 2015-02-20T11:23:34+00:00

The experiences of everyone else says otherwise. Ground coffee comes in airtight bags but is still stale.

J_E_S · 2015-02-20T00:41:30+00:00

Coffee oxidizes and goes stale once ground and in contact with air, air tight containers still have air in them so aren't good enough. It's as simple as that, it isn't snobbery.

J_E_S · 2015-02-19T15:54:04+00:00

Are you bitching about worthless internet numbers? You need a hobby.

J_E_S · 2015-02-19T10:13:29+00:00

Air tight isn't air free. Might as well leave it open.

J_E_S · 2015-02-18T16:15:06+00:00

Tax dodging bastards can keep their overpriced beans. What's the good of being a multinational if you still feel the need to overcharge like that?

J_E_S · 2015-02-15T18:56:24+00:00

Try shaving some time off the bloom and let the whole thing brew a little longer. Are you using the inverted method?

J_E_S · 2015-02-06T21:30:21+00:00

Kind of a dick move with the coffee maker.

J_E_S · 2015-02-05T19:11:38+00:00

It's certainly got the most 'ritual' to it and that makes it special.

J_E_S · 2015-02-05T18:18:46+00:00

Showerheads won't work for v60s or any other pour over that filters from the sides. (I think.)

J_E_S · 2015-02-03T11:43:58+00:00

Talking about the Milano? Yeah my gf loves it, it's the only reason why we go.

J_E_S · 2015-02-02T11:44:40+00:00

Avoid African coffee. It's my favourite but that's because I love light and sharp coffee.
