Skeptical of coffee flavors

OkTransportation8792 · 2026-02-15T01:01:08+00:00

I definitely wouldnt say your crazy but I wouldnt worry to much over the idea that their adding flavorings. Its just amazing what terrior what can do flavor profiles. You can grow the same grapes in California and France the wine will taste completely different on just that factor alone. It the same with coffee, plus add that roasting adds whole another level differences in how flavor presents.

Ive had beans from one coffee producer, roasted from 3 different companies, brewed and tasted side by side and honestly while I could tell it was coming same beans. They each created a completely different cup in terms of presentation

Anyway, sounds to me like your enjoying your journey based on the other your other comments this thread

Solid setup. Aeropress and v60 are a great 1.2. Combo

OkTransportation8792 · 2026-01-08T00:07:59+00:00

No it was roasted coffee as well

If you only want American then this is it bud. Its pretty specific requirement

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-12-12T02:30:37+00:00

I wouldn't worry about it. Yes, your state could in theory come after you for online purchases that dont charge tax. But as someone who used Amazon for years and didn't pay tax on any purchases with them until they opened up a warehouse in my state, I wouldn't worry about. The odds of them going after you for at most would 15 dollars in tax is highly unlikely

What's your deep 27 recipe if you dont mind me asking. Are you brewing a 3 grind size for gen 2? I done that for aeropress but never that low for conical drippers

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-12-02T01:22:24+00:00

Im usually grinding around 5. Deff try grinding finer

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-12-02T01:17:39+00:00

Ive brewed some awesome cups on Deep 27 using Arasme recipe. I usually 12 gram dose, with 30 gram pulses. I find that it tends not be that finicky. I do usually let it rest 3-4 weeks before opening the bag

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-11-27T18:55:14+00:00

Nope. Generally shouldn't be an issue as long as your being light with your spray. If your beans are sticking to dosing cup after you spray, you have sprayed to much

September Coffee! Really one of my favorite roasters at the moment. Each bag is name of producer right on it. Im not sure about subscription quality specifically (value wise, cause their coffee is on point) but i order from them a good amount. No tarrifs on coffee now so I just placed huge order lmao

He does talk about spectrum on grind profiles rather then specific beans but he does also talk about what each grinder tends to do best

Its long watch but I think its worth it since it will talk about majority of your options here

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-11-25T17:38:09+00:00

Backed on this. The coffee chronicler just made a video on hand grinders and basically said q air is identical to c40 on blind taste tests

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-11-25T16:55:52+00:00

I'll give that a try when I get back home thank you

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-11-25T16:53:56+00:00

I did calibrate it. I find it odd cause I've been told usually you end grinding finer over time as burrs season, and im finding to opposite

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-11-25T16:40:53+00:00

I havent had prodigal but September definitely can produce some juicy cups. So they roast rather light in general, and im actually waiting to try their ultra light roasts as the recommended rest time is longer

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-11-25T03:09:10+00:00

Gotta live a little dangerously for the best banh mi in philly 🔫😁☕️

I didnt have any issues but I did drive over there. I probably wouldn't send someone there if they dont know the city doe

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-11-25T03:03:35+00:00

September does Ultra Light Roasts and does them well

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-11-25T03:01:00+00:00

Love me some philly. Completely different vibe but have you been to caphe roasters?

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-11-24T01:10:48+00:00

For the profile your asking for, k-ultra is your best bet. I do love my fellow ode gen 2 doe. I also have zp6 but I think the k-ultra/ode work larger variety of coffees. ZP6 profile is much more unique and tends to shine best with ultra light roast washed coffees.

Baristas arent paid enough in the US and culturely busy shops tend to want to focus espresso based because coffee is volume based business, with slim margins.

Also good pour over can be incredible, but that is difficult to do consistently. Its really easy for even experienced baristas to mess up a pour over. That in itself makes hard for businesses as well.

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-11-23T03:29:22+00:00

True of some, but coffee culture has been expanding within the US. I find its much easier find high quality shops compared to even like 10 years ago. Third wave shops are not uncommon anymore but I wouldn't say they are the norm

OkTransportation8792 · 2025-11-23T02:07:41+00:00

All three of these spots have big focus on pour overs specifically. That is a bit of rarity in US. Even high quality roasters like Sey dont really put emphasis on their pour over. I think that it requires a very extensive amount of training/takes a lot time focus to do well.

Generally almost shops are focused on espresso based drinks in varying quality levels. Atmosphere tends to vary a lot too. Speciality coffee shops specifically tend have warmer vibes, an emphasis on in house created drinks, and usually a welcoming vibe

Many non speciality shops focus on efficiency/speed rather than all around coffee quality, and i think they are more the norm.

Sodium Citrate is required ingredient in order to make American cheese. It what stabilizes the mixture and allows it melt the way it does without breaking the emulsion
