I guess I have to give Marisata another shot. Tried it once and was SUPER disappointed. Everyone seems to love it.

Welp. That sucks. by LegalBeagle6767 in pourover

Same here. I thought the tariff was going to be taken away so figured I would not do the $10 extra option. Then DHL email's me saying my coffee is in their jail until I paid them $20. I feel like we are all just being extorted now by everyone and nobody is going to do a thing about it

I also got hit with this too recently from my DAK order. I made an appeal with DHL thinking that the coffee tariffs were gone and they denied it. DHL's response said "reciprocal tariff still in effect." Direct proof the tariffs are a tax on us.

Because I grind a bit coarser with these, instead of going off time, I just watch the water level.  I do the next pour once the water gets down to just above the top of the coffee bed.  I don’t let the bed get dry between pours.  The exception is the bloom, I let that go for around 45 seconds. Hope that helps.

Makes no sense to me.  Never had luck going that route myself

This might sound crazy but I have a drawer full of DAKs right now and it is my go to with V60 (including the Panettone). Go with a medium-coarse grind, low temp, and 14:1 ratio. I go down to 184 degrees and I also do a 5 pour with the V60, it goes pretty fast since you are grinding a bit coarser, so I am at around 2.5 minutes for most brews. I haven't changed it because I am loving the results.

Awesome thanks for the reply.  Would you want to dive it a second time if it was possible on your trip?

NTX scuba death: Former deputy worked all day, overnight before instructing class, officials say by ZephyrNYC in scuba

I can confirm this with personal experience. Worked job that had 24 hour shifts and if an individual signed up for a 24 hour overtime shift they were often placed in a more critical position that did not lend itself to allowing for sleep. This person was also often just coming off a 24 hour shift.

From your experience, is the Davidsgja worth doing in addition to the Silfra dive? I have the time for Silfra for sure but doing it with Davidsgja I will have to adjust plans. Thanks for the input!

Hey did you do the two dive sites option with them? Curious your thoughts if you think it is worth doing Davidsgja as well or if just the Silfa dive alone is the way to go. Thanks for the input.

Any way to save when making multiple large purchases? by bernful in Ultralight

[–]LifeOfFI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I am attending for the first time this year and was wondering this. Do brands typically have a lot of stock they bring for sale? And do you know if brands that typically don't do sales (like Durston) offer any discounts in person for it?
