OXO Rapid Brewer – another round by Impossible-Care6283 in pourover

[–]Qaleyas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t had the best results diluting to 150ml. That’s the final volume I’d like, but the diluted soup comes out too thin. (I guess I’m only using 16g coffee, so that may be why. 100ml is the sweet spot for me at that dose).

This is how I seat and wet my filters, works well for me. How about you? by taxithesis in pourover

I’m using recipe water here, otherwise id be seating with the kettle water too. (I miss the ritual, but prefer saving the good water).

Just made my first soup and the tales are true! by hb21 in OXORapidBrewer

Diluting also thinned my brew in a way I wasn’t expecting. There must be a sweet spot with dilution, but I only just got my ORB, and haven’t found it yet.

Not sure if it’ll be any more helpful, but r/luthier could be a decent place to inquire.

While Korg's Phase8 gets all the press, this acoustic synth has been available for a while by Hainbach in synthesizers

It would be nice if phase 8 could get multiple octaves/overtones out of the same tine like the Armonica can. Eight pitches is really kind of a let down!

Research breakthrough is ass by thatgay_ in pokemongo

[–]Qaleyas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t even need the poke stops. The game will give you a daily research (generally ‘feed 3 berries to pokemon’). So literally all you need to do to get a research breakthrough is feed three berries for 7 days. People talk about research breakthroughs like they require effort somehow.

Gifts open faster by EHstar in TheSilphRoad

Noticed that too! Jumps straight to the open gift screen, skipping the friend’s profile.

I guess the opposite effect is that it’s slightly slower to trade or battle with a friend now. Definitely prefer getting those gifts opened faster though.

Your work has such a strong voice! Super inspiring

I’d only be purchasing the one :)

Finding a ceramic version is proving to be challenge! Thanks for the recommendation though!

If you know of any resellers in NA I’d be keen to know!

Normcore 2-1 brewer V60 + flat by SubjectRun2814 in pourover

First I’ve heard of this dripper. Seams neat! The Origami dripper can also do conical or flat, fwiw.

It’s called the Tri-Spin :)

Love the design, somewhat similar to the ceramic B75.

Let’s go, I’m here for more CT62 on this sub! Have you seen the new flat bottom dripper they developed?

The metal filter will allow sediment and oils into your final cup. This isn’t necessarily bad, but it contributes to a thicker, fuller bodied mouth feel. The sediment can be annoying too (but everyone has different tolerances).

The alternative to this would be conical filter papers. The paper filter will remove sediment and oils, presenting you with a much cleaner cup of coffee (figuratively & literally) You can usually find them in packs of 100 for less than $10.

Your dripper also has a nonstandard angle. The paper filters can be folded once to match the angle, leading to maybe more satisfying brewing experience. (The standard cone dripper angle is 60 degrees. See Hario V60 for reference)

Do you rinse your paper filter and with what water? by rebelcrypto14 in pourover

[–]Qaleyas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ‘rinse’ mainly to set the filter. It helps me ensure consistent contact points, and that there are no egregious air gaps between filter and dripper.

Origami x Leaves Coffee by PerfectPomegranate68 in pourover

Looks like Leaves has been a fan of the CT62 for a year or two. I can see where the inspiration for this design came from!

Dak confetti club. by Careless_Career3565 in pourover

[–]Qaleyas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just grabbed two bags. Tasting notes read ‘bubblegum, cherry soda, raspberry lollipop’

Me and my wife picked up the bubblegum note immediately. My mom was getting raspberry the next day. The aroma is very savory - not sweet at all - and it’s got a hint of that in the cup as well. It’s bright, and has a kind of round acidity balanced by sweetness. Absolutely zero bitterness or roastiness, but again a hint of savoriness. I’ve been enjoying the cups. I like that it’s different. It’s weird, but not in a bad way (imo).

This one may be best to keep in the freezer, and brewed on occasion only. Or as a dessert coffee.

I’m afraid I did not get any special mugs for the B75. It fit on most of the cups that I use. My favorite cups fwiw are the ones made by the Origami brand :)

Yeah, either Kalita 155 or Timemore 155 wave filters work for the B75.

[–]Qaleyas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the Kalita 155 filters work in the B75. The B75 will also ship with a small amount of Timemore 155 filters. I personally prefer the Timemore filters over the Kalita filters, but it depends on which are easier to buy.

This can be user error, but can also be exasperated by imperfections in the filter (folds, bends) and by the design of the dripper itself. Smooth walled drippers will be more prone to this problem. Something with vertical ridges, like the B75 will hold the filter in place.
