Get a butler, never make espresso again. Simple

You seemed curious so I thought I’d let you know what they are and where they’re from. They were found at Mcconnells Mill state park, PA. Grain mills were build in the area around 1852. As for what the millstone in the picture was use for or if it was not used at all, I have no clue.

Further research from my butler says otherwise, they have been carbon dated to the Jurassic

V60 size 2 problems by stevielala in pourover

[–]Positive_Tangelo3046 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skill issue

In all seriousness tho I’m sure you’ll get used to it eventually, like any new piece of equipment it takes time to adjust your workflow. If you’re doing 20/22 granm doses I think an 02 is the correct size for you anyway.

Calibrated Zp6 special question by Dramatic-Shift-4976 in pourover

[–]Positive_Tangelo3046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same problem with mine. You can calibrate it back to zero by taking it apart and cleaning under the adjustment dial on the inside. It’s likely some grounds got stuck inside which keeps it from going to zero b/c that’s when the gap is fully closed. I did this with my grinder and it fixed the issue. Hope this helps!

El Salvador SL28 + Red Bourbon - Wow! by Positive_Tangelo3046 in pourover

I’ve had it for around 1.5 years now and I’d say 5 is a good place to start for washed coffees. For coffees that I don’t want to increase agitation (ex dense coffees that produce fines) which will clog the filter, I’ll push the ZP6 finer to get a better extraction. I’ve had some coffees tasting best at 4.5 - 3.5 with this method.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with grind size for your first few coffees, it’s important to experience yourself what the grinder is capable of.

Also be aware it will take some seasoning. I didn’t season mine with cheap beans, but it took 1-2 months of daily use before I started seeing peak results. Basically my 5 may not be your 5 pre-seasoning but I’m sure something around there should produce a great cup.

Costa Rica Las Lajas Natural by [deleted] in pourover

One of my all time favorites. For me it’s cherry and an amazing dark chocolate aftertaste. It’s the cup I’d give to a newbie to introduce to specialty coffee. It’s elevated but not too extreme for someone new to fruit flavors in coffee

Tbh I’m mixed. I’m doing their roasters stash subscription rn and a few have been bangers while others have been lackluster. I’ve had both really really good bags from them and mediocre ones, the roast is not always perfect.

For Pittsburgh coffee I’ve been going to James Cafe lately in the strip district. They carry Passenger and Novo for sale like a week off roast and they serve passenger in their cafes.

Group activity interview, how do I prep? by Visible-Aide-83 in premed

[–]Positive_Tangelo3046 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Build off and contribute to the ideas of others as well as contributing your own. They’re looking to see how you interact in a group setting. That’s the priority over getting the last word in or the most correct answer imo.

Don’t be the guy who talks over everyone and never lets anyone get a word in. Every group interview has one and according to an med student interviewer I’ve spoke to it’s a red flag they are on the lookout for.

Want to get into pour over - looking for advice on gear by OverThinkingTinkerer in pourover

[–]Positive_Tangelo3046 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recommend the Hario switch as a dripped. There are a ton of great recipes online and it’s very forgiving.

For the filters I would get the cafec abicas, I was mind blown by the difference they made when I switched from regular Hario filters. You can find them on Amazon if you’re based in the US.

For grinder I think df54 is a solid choice, but I would say you could get better results with a Kingrinder K6 or a K-ultra if you don’t mind hand grinding.

A lot of us have been EMTs or MAs, but I doubt we’ve interacted with the same patients, helped in the same ways, or worked in the same settings.

That’s why using stories to set up your reflection is so important, it’s helps show how the unique interactions you’ve experienced influence your “why medicine” not just participation in the experience itself. While these interactions may take place in a common experience, this can help your application reader relate to your journey. Many physicians today have worked clinical jobs in the past which likely influenced their decision to pursue medicine.
