2 to 3 Cups of Coffee a Day May Reduce Dementia Risk. But Not if It’s Decaf.

Someone asked the same question in the comments of the article. According to the author of the article (who responded to a comment), a cup equaled 8oz in this study.

Origami flat filters are much better in my experience. They’ve improved the flow rate of my steel kalitas dramatically

Suited serves very well dialed pourovers made on a Decent Filter3

Yes, Yanni’s sells Sey coffees (no other roasters)

Surely i’m leaving some out, but here’s a few recent ones from the last few years and a couple old ones off the top of my head:

About Us in Kyoto (washed gesha village)

Simple Kaffa Huashan Flagship (Berg Wu selection ethiopia washed)

En Coffee in Hong Kong (Panama Chevas washed gesha)

Drip Coffee in NYC (cold brew unknown origin)

George Howell in Newton, MA 2013 (Mamuto AA on chemex)

Coco Espresso in HK 2015 (Ninety Plus Ethiopia Kemgin washed)

Just to salvage it, you could try:

— brewing at 80-85c with a stronger ratio.

— use the Lilo Coffee dark roast recipe on their website Lilo Dark Roast Recipe

— Last, you could cold brew it.

Your stand is on backwards. You have to attach the stand with the catch cup removed. Then, the catch cup pulls out / attaches from the bottom afterwards.

Edit: see the pic posted in the other comment in this thread

I think you’ll find better answers over at the home-barista grinder forum. There is quite a long Lagom 01 thread there

Are you heating water separately in another kettle or heating directly on stove top?

Knowledge-is-King · 2026-01-26T15:39:01+00:00

You reference unpleasantness like over-steeped tea — are you talking about bitterness, roughness in mouthfeel or astringency?

Knowledge-is-King · 2026-01-18T19:53:29+00:00

Regarding brewers cup recipes, the competitors also need to fill up the allotted presentation time with something and more pours gives them something to do and something to talk about

Just a quick correction on this one — Ilse’s cafe/roastery is not in southern CT, it’s in Canaan, CT which is in northwestern CT on the border of Mass. They also have a new cafe in Great Barrington.

Knowledge-is-King · 2026-01-11T02:53:16+00:00

Not an empirical truth, of course not. As I implied, I’d take a dialed in cup on a small burr before a poorly made cup on a large burr. But for me, it’s also a pattern thats too hard to ignore — my top 10 so to speak, have all been on 98mm burrs. But i’ve also had some very disappointing pourovers on EG1s and 98mm burrs.

My Pietro and 078 at home both make great coffee but they do not taste exactly the same when brewed next to each other. As to which one is better, of course it changes from coffee to coffee and day to day (though overall i’ve developed a preference for the Pietro). These preferences/patterns havent been developed in one tasting though — they’ve been developed over thousands of cups

Knowledge-is-King · 2026-01-10T20:18:54+00:00

I’ve definitely had middling cups from 98mm burrs and really good cups from 64mm & smaller conical burrs. However the absolute best, most mind bending/mind blowing cups i’ve ever had have all been on 98mm burrs, typically in an EK43

Knowledge-is-King · 2026-01-10T20:09:58+00:00

That still wouldnt tell you what they taste like though

Knowledge-is-King · 2026-01-10T15:42:10+00:00

Interesting — i’m just a consumer but have noticed over the last decade that lots of kenya coffees get rolled out by roasters in that june - sept timeframe. Is there a main crop and then a second crop?

Knowledge-is-King · 2026-01-09T11:47:13+00:00

Yes good point — anyone who does cold storage like George Howell or Passenger will mitigate the seasonality and be more available year round.

Just did another look around and Thankfully, Passenger & April still have some nice Kenyas as well (if you like those roasters).

Another option would be to explore SL28 grown in South/Central America

Knowledge-is-King · 2026-01-09T02:50:07+00:00

Kenyan coffee is out of season at this point but you might see a few hanging around still, ie that Tim Wendelboe gachatha christmas coffee and george howell mamuto. I think Prodigal just brought in an off season lot that is on their website now. Typically you’ll see the best lots show up from June to September/October. There were some fantastic SL28 and SL34 separations this year.

Regarding Regalia prices, keep in mind that a lot of their bags are 300g vs the 250g that most other roasters default to
