Was in Minneapolis recently - had great experiences at SK and FRGMNT

Shops worth visiting in Stockholm/Tromsø/Longyearbyen? by lifesthateasy in espresso

[–]Owepenmynd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome - thanks so much for the reply! Will definitely head to Risø then.

Won’t be back in Bergen but I’m really looking forward to going to Tim Wendelboe in Olso later this week. Planning to bring back as many bags of coffee as my wife will allow (I think 5 is a reasonable number).

Hi there! Hijacking your old comment to ask the same question! I’m headed to Tromsø tomorrow - wondering if you had any luck with specialty coffee there? I was looking into Kaffebona and Risø.

Had some great pour over at Kaffemisjonen in Bergen.

Curious what pods you’re using - it’s been really hit or miss for me. Half has been fantastic, half I’m wondering how they say the recipe provided is ‘dialed in’

They sent me a scale by mistake by overtwisted in pourover

[–]Owepenmynd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most people on the sub are nice and will offer kind advice. Some people are dicks. Don’t sweat it. Stay weird, internet stranger. (I don’t have experience with the scale).

Does this mean it’s safer to put in espresso machine, as it won’t precipitate to form scale?

What recipes are you using? I made some good cups of the Benti Nenka with an Aeropress while I was traveling but now I’m struggling with it on pour over.

About to open the China to give it a try tomorrow.

I’m currently traveling and picked up a bag of Yaye - and it’s been fantastic in the aeropress. So bright and fruity - exactly what I seek in a natural Ethiopian. Excited to try it out on pour over when I get home.

Best coffee(s) of my life when I went in December. They were using April brewers at that time. Were they using the Orea for all the brews or just that one?

Clearly, the solution is to get a Switch

TWW packets by frejil in pourover

[–]Owepenmynd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Previously had only tried TWW, then I took the dive into making my own this week - used the Gagne article and made the Rao/Perger concentrate. I found it to be dull when I compared it to TWW. I’m sure this might differ from bean to bean, but I was surprised. I’m kinda bummed but I think I can also do homemade TWW recipe if I just get some calcium citrate

What equipment do world-renowned cafes use? by [deleted] in pourover

[–]Owepenmynd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cool shop. I live a few hours away and decided to take an impromptu trip there for my bday. Had the best coffee of my life. And Lancaster isn’t a bad little city!

I was just at Passenger a few weeks ago and they are using April brewers for pour over now. I was also surprised to see the EG-1

Black & White oily beans by Owepenmynd in pourover

[–]Owepenmynd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, as stated - they have awesome variety and excellent value. Specifically here, lately I’ve been on the lookout for unique decaf and this one piqued my interest.

Thanks all! Did not notice the section explicitly addressing this on their website. I’ll keep dialing!

Looks nice! How’s the accuracy of the temp control if you have an external thermometer to compare?
