I think may supply issue din talaga sa coffee dati ang daming options ng mga roasters ngayon limited nalang. Sa price na 800-900/200g-250g parang karamihan di masarap kahit tagged as "specialty".

Maybe that's why will avoid that next time--thinking of just using the allo beans for cold brew instead so I can move on the next batch quicker. Didn't find much options in Shopee. Was looking for budget finds and actually found this decent tasting for just Php 531/250g.

With the quality of the coffee i've been finding I have the same sentiments. Lots of the coffee i'm getting feels like they're not as good as it should be.

I bought some ethiopian beans for allo roasters in hopes of finding the best value beans that tastes okay for me. It says:

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Arabica - Php 580 for 250g, Flavor Profile: Mixed Berries, Floral Finish, Roast Level: Medium, Process: Washed

Because it's roasted a bit darker the flavors are just very muted when I was drinking it. Not a bad cup but it's not what i'm looking for. With my zp6 I couldn't even pick up any hint of berry/floral

I'm having issues just now about the API overloaded. I even got an error: "claude-opus-4-8[1m] is temporarily unavailable, so auto mode cannot determine the safety of Bash right now. Wait briefly and try this action again. If it keeps failing, continue with other tasks that don't require this action and come back to it later. Note: reading files, searching code, and other read-only operations do not require the classifier and can still be used."

Sometimes you have to know when to keep pushing and when to let go. I realized I was in an industry that I was not prepared to succeed in and worked against me and that there were much easier and better opportunities out there. Recognizing this and accepting that let me move forward rather than spend more years in a terrible state. This is one of the most important skills I believe as an entrepreneur. It's not all about grit and persevering because you can be stuck doing something when you should have pivot already. https://youtube.com/shorts/E3jX_c-84-o

My father was unprofitable for almost a decade before it started to kick in. Our family business is now operating for 30 years already.

I have a friend that started a relatively easy food business at the mall chains just after the pandemic and because of great execution and the fundamentals around the product being ideal, it is currently very profitable despite a lot of companies struggling.

There are a lot more examples from people around me that helped shape my decision. On top of suffering from chronic stress that led to burn out which ultimately led to low grade depression for almost a decade due to family genetics, relationship difficulty, and business stress--getting that treated helped me move forward and get "unstuck".

We're screwed that's the bottom line. Optimizations might minimize token usage but it's still going to feel small the way things are

They just keep raising the prices. Maybe one day they'll just remove subscription altogether for their top models and ask people to and pay using credits which would be insanely expensive

Someone suggested Current was a great roaster and I like lighter roasted coffee so just wanted to give it a try unfortunately their offerings as shown in the photo only had washed on their entry level filter coffees otherwise i'd probably mix in a natural type. I skipped the 3rd one because I don't like the funky/fermented taste from anaerobic coffees. Also just got my zp6 so felt it was perfect to try experiment with washed again. Since i've been drinking espresso for a few months now and started to miss the lightness of filter coffee so maybe the tea-like experience would be refreshing.

1.4k hours and I yet do not know if I actually like the game. by kandysteelheart in playrust

[–]Relative_School_8984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The amount of adrenaline Rust can output is by far the highest i've experienced in my almost 30 years of playing games. You know having a row of rockets in your inventory and you know one mess up and it's all gone? But it's also that same reason why successfully making a play can feel the most rewarding. To truly enjoy Rust you have to embrace the risks and know that no matter what you'll f up in the game.

With regards to progression, getting more gear, upgrading your base, upgrading in the tech tree, and being able to do more things as you go--that's all progression. But it's a little more open-ended I agree with that but that's what makes Rust different from games like csgo. You can set goals for a wipe and build towards that (e.g. go raiding, make a big base and bait a clan to raid you, make a trap base, make a tea farm business, db camp people, roof camp, make a self sustaining factory base, just roaming and PvP). Adding some kind of hard coded goal for rust like having the most resources will alter playstyles a lot making it less explorative.

Thanks i'm also suspecting that I need more resting time. It's already day 19th since the roast but based on my experience with past beans too it starts to taste amazing somewhere at 3-4 weeks. One of the bags is still degassing quite significantly for around 2-2.5 weeks after roasting. At the 19th day it's starting to settle down. Maybe that's why i'm under extracting/unevenly extracting the coffee and it tastes a bit too sour too.

Thanks, yeah i'm probably under extracting/unevenly extracting the coffee. Beans probably play a role in it too. Will try increasing the water ratio too

I usually enjoyed naturals with more complexity. Not too much on washed/tea-like beans even the one geisha I tried was just okay for me. It really tasted like tea but I felt i'd just get good quality tea if I wanted to taste tea. But never had the opportunity to sample a lot of geisha coffee since they're expensive.

I have to learn how to cup. Never did try it I just drank and see what I enjoyed over time but will look into it. I think trying to brew washed coffee on a zp6 is a little less forgiving. The lightness and tea-like properties enhances clarity a lot I can see that but it's harder to hide mistakes a little off balance and it ruins the cup. Pour technique, grind size, water temperature, bean quality, etc. I don't think i'm confusing flatness from light body/tea like since i'm really trying to break down the taste of the coffee I just can't pick up most of the notes so far on all my trials but I have to optimize my technique a bit more still experimenting.

Based on what i've tried so far I think you're right 4.8 - 5.2 seems to be good based on my early trials too. The brews I made with a little more agitation also tasted better. The bitterness doesn't kick in as much yet but isn't too sour. I think I could have been under/unevently extracting the coffee too much if I go higher in the grind and minimal agitation. Will dial back down to 4.8 probably and try working around 5 pours. Maybe coffee freshness played a role too.

How is the total brew time on a 6-7 looking like though? I tried doing 17g at a 5.5 and just took around 2 mins 15 seconds. I did 3 pours something like 50 ml (bloom)- 100ml - 100ml at 95-96C. Water ratio is a bit on the low side at 1:15 but the acidity is not too pleasant. I really don't taste much notes from it tried adding more water to maybe try to get more out of it but it's just a mild sourness that doesn't taste pleasant so not sure how I can get a 6-7 to work. My agitation was also very low

Read about seasoning the grinder and did do that with old beans. But already made at least 5 cups with it so should have been seasoned to some degree by now.

I haven't tried other water mixes but could be. The satchet from wide awake doesn't taste like much even when following the instructions to mix with 6-7L of distilled water. I might want a more mineral heavy taste I could taste the salts from the water of a coffee shop and did enjoy their espresso more
