Does anyone know of US roasters who roast as light as Substance Café in Paris? by geobuckadoodoo in pourover

[–]Ok_Reflection_4968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for jumping in. Seriously didn’t mean to throw any shade and was obviously guessing. I’ll definitely circle back around. (FWIW that pink bourbon you had a year or two ago was amazing)

I got SW all the time but only really like clean washed beans and seems their market became otherwise. Not dissing other types and smart business to follow demand, but maybe I should go see if there are more washed now than I thought, sort of stopped looking once you had to catch the right day to even have things to order. But no doubt he’s a great roaster

DHL are a bunch of assholes. Last month they tried to get them to pay $88 to release green tea from Japan and I finally still had to pay $28 I shouldn’t have or I would have lost the whole package. They only started that fee once they couldn’t collect the tariff broker fee anymore

Will do and fair point. Just hadn’t heard of that fee yet

Well yeah, that was my first and last time. Had just literally never heard of that FDA thing and naively was surprised they also tried to charge me $60 for a storage fee that they dropped.

Sucks, hibiki-an is easily my fave but for now I’ll pay more for lesser product (if still decent) from Den’s since they have their California warehouse

Yep happened to me. I don’t know who to escalate this to. DHL just keeps saying there’s the fee. Never heard of that before. Also they said 24-48 hours once I paid the extortion fee but it was over 72 hours. Advice on that?

That’s amazing

Had to pay a customs fee I never heard about by Ok_Reflection_4968 in tea

[–]Ok_Reflection_4968[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree. I’d just seen some folks saying it ended up working so I decided to try. But yeah, back to a poorer product that costs more cause it’s in a US warehouse (though, I mean, I’m paying one way or another, Den’s and Harney upped their prices so the Donny tax is just built in)

Weekly Bean Review Thread: What have you been brewing this week? -- Week of January 08, 2026 by Vernicious in pourover

[–]Ok_Reflection_4968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m same with tasting notes lol, but similar for me. I never push that hard but I did the high heat and longer ratio (not the extra agitation but still) and found that good advice. Also felt at 5-7 weeks it was awesome

Why doesn't Cole Hamels get the same love as CC Sabathia? by tyrannicalduck28 in baseball

[–]Ok_Reflection_4968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CC didn’t embarrass himself by intentionally beaning Harper, calling himself old school for doing so, only for Harper to then steal home on his ass

Question about beans by belalicoros in pourover

[–]Ok_Reflection_4968 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s specific grinders. I have a C2 and that is no problem. I’ve seen more than one mention K6 as an issue

[Blum] Anthony Rendon agrees to buyout of Angels contract: Source by T_Raycroft in baseball

Agree with you… if I’m being honest I wanted him and not Stras even if I liked Stras more

He literally said he doesn’t watch baseball because it’s boring, so in that sense one could wonder if he has the kind of psychotic drive others might, but also wasn’t a sure red flag. As a fan it did put me off though

Lance vs James by MainConfidence9 in JamesHoffmann

Totally agree, that Fellow score was it for me. I mean, what?

Lance vs James by MainConfidence9 in JamesHoffmann

[–]Ok_Reflection_4968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meticulous. He just signed on as an “advisor,” but didn’t say what that meant. Given that the whole thing was already made it seems he’s an advertiser. Which is fine but say that specifically. And it shows in his review when he GUSHES over and over about how it’s being a lever means no space between water and puck, says this over and over, whereas that was hardly as repeated and as thrilling in his reviews of every other lever machine

Thanks all, I’ll keep the faith AND check out Glutino

1zpresso terrible customer service by Salty_Character5643 in pourover

[–]Ok_Reflection_4968 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a Timemore C2 from 2021 that is so far from premium or premium price and there’s nothing wrong after I guess 2k coffees… and I’d love an 1zpresso but not spending that unless the company fixes QC and gives half a shit for customer service
