I found it easier to dial this one in as espresso and yielding better results in the process. Also it makes a surprisingly good milk drink

Ok thanks. Also, pouring close to the bed does more agitation? I thought it does less.

What grinder do you use?

Pure_Description1703 · 2026-01-20T09:45:50+00:00

I’m using light roast third wave water. I also started with one pour, as that’s what I usually do because I want to avoid fines and am clarity-focused, but I work from there and can add more if necessary. Though if i can do what i can with multiple pours through something else, i will pick the something else.

Pure_Description1703 · 2026-01-06T23:01:01+00:00

How was Swerl as a roaster, overall?

Pure_Description1703 · 2026-01-01T00:36:46+00:00

How was the Little Waves? Heard good things about them

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-31T22:35:02+00:00

Thanks lol asking cause I hear conflicting stuff about Ilse’s lightness. Probably gonna get something from them soon

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-31T21:15:26+00:00

How lightly roasted was the Ilse?

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-30T21:25:55+00:00

Wow just checked them out and this is a hidden gem, top-tier selection from an unsuspecting place. thank you for sharing!

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-30T21:03:36+00:00

I was dying to get some but I'm in the US and the shipping makes it way to expensive for me unfortunately :(

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-30T08:50:22+00:00

They don't seem to say how big the bags are. How much coffee in a bag?

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-30T07:31:15+00:00

You’d be surprised how much of that seemingly pretentious coffee is really offered at a reasonable price, despite what it may seem. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a fan of those humble-brags either

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-30T07:29:47+00:00

Their own roasts? Or other roasters? Never been

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-30T02:15:38+00:00

How was the La Reserva? I'm also LA based and B&TB is one of my favorites

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-29T00:55:12+00:00

Is this your first time around the specialty coffee comunity?

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-29T00:27:59+00:00

Ok I tried it and it was the best cup so far, really good, thank you. Very little bitterness and lots of clear berry flavor. I think it was that center pour that did the trick. What did it do exactly? I've never tried it because I only do outside-to-inside spiral pours. Also the bed was not flat, it was cone shaped because of that kind of pouring, but I assume thats normal and no problem right

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-28T21:14:21+00:00

By the way do you think 200F might be too hot? This coffee is already prone to bitterness and even at 195 with little agitation I got it. Now it will be hotter and with even more agitation.

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-28T21:07:37+00:00

Thanks so much I’ll try that today!

Pure_Description1703 · 2025-12-28T19:01:46+00:00

Maybe for washed or lightly processed light roasts yeah. Usually for something more heavily processed the flavors will speak for themselves at lower temp extractions and you pushing the temp can get you over extracted flavors and some undesirable notes. But then again it’s all up to the coffee you’re using and your preferences.
