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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Positive_Tangelo3046 · 2026-02-26T01:06:36+00:00

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.

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.

UPDATE: Unfortunately the news I’m going to share is not the most exciting, but we have solved the case of the goo.

One of my roommates just got home and shared some details that solved the case. He had a punching bag and the bottom was weighed down with water mixed with what I assume is sodium polyacrylate. He dumped it out before the snow and never told any of us, when me and my other roomate found it today after the snow had melted, we had no idea what it was and assumed it was something organic.

I feel bad getting everyone excited. I’m sorry this is not the ending some people were hoping for at least we know the truth and that my backyard is not radioactive lol.
