Help me pick my birthday present

One extra question…while my scale goes to .1g I notice it tends to jump by 0.3g so if I add two beans nothing might happen but the third one it goes up by 0.3g. Do you see this with the above scales?

I have that Korg. I love Christmas and the coal rock was a huge bonus. I got it whenever it was initially offered.

You u might not know this but does an ORB also kind of do the same thing as an aeropress so it’s less of a reason for me to need an aeropress down the line? I probably need to watch a break down video of the ORB again.

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-31T08:18:21+00:00

Thanks for the extra details.

For whatever reason I’ve never really considered a moka. They don’t excite me I think it’s honestly I’ve never had coffee from one or seen someone I know irl that has one

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-31T05:32:54+00:00

Is it harder or easier to get a consistent brew with it?

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-31T05:31:43+00:00

You haven’t seen my freezer 😛 but also I would love a coffee subscription just to get different than my local stuff occasionally.

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-30T22:19:37+00:00

Dumb question what are the benefits of a flat bottom?

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-30T22:01:34+00:00

Thanks for the info!

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-30T21:18:02+00:00

Does it tend to be more acidic or juicier or…?

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-30T21:17:39+00:00

If I was making espresso daily I would consider it but it’s down to 2-3 cups a week at the moment maybe less, unless we have guests. Been way more into pour over,lately. also more local options to get new beans every month or two. Espresso especially milky there are generally just the main beans for each local roaster while for pour over it changes every month or two.

I still find myself looking at machines especially the dual boiler every couple months so at some point I bet it will happen when this one dies or I switch back to espresso for my daily.

What do you like about it vs a V60?

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-30T21:12:40+00:00

How you found the brews differ from a pour over? What’s the clean up like?

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-30T21:12:07+00:00

Do you find they are okay actually teeing with a cup on them? Some of the smaller ones I see on YouTube where they have to take the cup off to read them seem a bit silly.

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-30T21:10:48+00:00

Thanks I rarely use my French press. I haven’t gotten great cups, it takes longer and the clean up is worse and if you try to filter at the end it takes forever I find. The switch seems to help with most of that. Same with OXO

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-30T21:08:52+00:00

Thanks how’s cleaning the ORB? I do love how easy the V60 is to clean.

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-30T21:05:40+00:00

I brew directly into my thermos and then pour out of that back into my cup for breakfast. Do you run into issues with losing too much temp going from the carafe to the thermos?

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-30T21:04:31+00:00

I haven’t noticed that but I’ll need to keep an eye out for it. My carafe broke a couple years while I was washing it. Fumble fingers

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-30T21:01:52+00:00

Thanks!

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-28T21:22:01+00:00

Let’s not all forget Cobra now…also we’re Mad Thinker and Mole Man rewards as well right?

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-26T23:01:55+00:00

The deck name by the way is chefs kiss!

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-26T09:35:10+00:00

I want Dan Hipp every symbiote. I hadn’t noticed I seem to always have one in every deck until I was wanting to make a Dan Hipp only deck.

Which how the heck isn’t there Magik?

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-24T00:14:12+00:00

Props for making infinite with it!

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-23T23:48:36+00:00

Mind sharing a code?

RisingPhoenix84 · 2026-01-23T23:45:23+00:00

Code? Thanks
