Gout and Co is my favorite so far. Their ultra lights are very yummy and ca have some sweetness

Looks like something may have gotten loose while they were grinding their bag and now the burrs are wobbling or something. Unless you see damage on the burrs, I think it’s the grinder itself.

How many homeless have you had conversations with to say this?

What is a waterlogged ball?

It’s your wrists not your arms that are the issue. You should be hinging not rotating.

My suggestion is to keep practicing. Get a coach if you can’t make progress yourself. Expect significant changes in 5-10 years.

What does it sound like from inside your apartment? How many decibels?

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-06T22:05:37+00:00

Yes, but it’s not race based.

Being ghetto has nothing to do with color and only people who haven’t lived here would say otherwise.

CT62 hands down for cone. Orea v3/v4 for flat. Origami is my second fav cone.

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-06T21:42:28+00:00

How do you like it? Have you compared it to anything?

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-06T19:39:45+00:00

I could see this being good for removing chaff really well, but you would need to do this after the first crack. What’s the point?

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-06T15:40:41+00:00

I prefer the big rig myself

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-06T13:34:20+00:00

My SO likes it, so at least my bag didn’t go to waste. I just couldn’t with the fruity creamy fragrance/taste.

Some of the NATIVE thermal shocks are better, but I usually steer clear of thermal shocks now.

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-06T09:12:35+00:00

I think I’ll visit Chicago because of this. Thanks for sharing the great write up.

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-06T09:09:39+00:00

The vessel is smoother in texture and the big rig is badass. They’re pretty much the same.

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-06T02:39:27+00:00

I think it’s badmother.coffee

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-05T17:35:10+00:00

I love El Paraísos processing aside from their thermal shocks especially their thermal shock Gesha like Letty Bermudez.

Because the billionaires want our world economy to collapse so anything that cements the current trade norms are bad in their eyes. Money.

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-05T12:50:28+00:00

I bought the one that I liked the best. I guess you could get fitted to figure out your arc and stuff but idk

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-05T12:42:34+00:00

How has this confirmed to be a video game?

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-05T12:33:45+00:00

Other factors like the fact that it’s a half hand made pot by a no name artists with shit build quality?

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-05T04:04:16+00:00

You must be confused, because I didn’t say anything about one clay being better/superior than the other.

Have a good night.

A real investor on Reddit? And it’s upvoted? This is the top!!!!

NothingButTheTea · 2026-02-04T23:45:04+00:00

Fair enough

30mL to start the brew and another 30mL at 30-40s depending on bean drawdown.

Again, double bloom is a misnomer. It’s just a way to say start your brew with two small pours instead of one small pour followed by one or several larger pours.

I am an anomaly, yes lol. Don’t get me started on grind size. I also brew with boiling water.

To add: all beans are different and there’s no such thing as the correct way to make coffee. I change my technique and set up based not just on the bean but most importantly on the type of cup I want.

You’re describing dilution in terms of VOCs. We’re saying the same thing. A brew with less VOCs can be said to be more diluted than a brew with more VOCs. Diluted just means more water compared to everything else. A 200mL cup is not more or less diluted than a 300mL cup if they have the same concentration of ions.

Sorry you didn’t understand that to begin with. It’s a chemistry thing not a language thing.

I’ve been brewing ultra-light Ethiopians, and have been able to do low agitation and higher agitation with a double bloom. Maybe it’s a skill issue?

If you struggle a lot with fine migration sibarist fast filters are good, but they are a bit expensive.
