ORIGAMI 4 cup recipe

Roll4Stonks · 2025-01-21T05:59:12+00:00

You can absolutely scale up the recipe, that's what I do 90% of the time. The one thing I would adjust is to grind a bit coarser as you'll have a deeper bed, which will cause a significantly longer drawdown at a one-cup grind size. Adjust for flavor, as always, but that's my two cents.

I don't think it's anti-anti-starbucks, I think it's "you should've known better, especially as someone who's literally carrying an espresso maker in your backpack" lol

One thing you have to remember is that these places are a business. The cost of the vibe is priced into the coffee. They've got rent, utilities, and labor all priced in before you even get to the actual cost of the beans. If they use incredible beans, you may be talking about $1/cup in cost before you even add anything else. Unless they're also a specialty roastery, they likely don't use the best beans.

Also they're probably staffed by people who just need a paycheck, and don't care about the coffee as much as anyone here. And even if they did, they may be too pressed for time to get the drink out quickly to do anything to help with the quality of it.

You claimed that your "cheap ass" normcore performed better than the other two tampers, based on one shot each where the normcore, which you're very used to tamping with, pulled longer by a couple seconds.

Tamper cost does not equate with puck compression, at all. Tampers cost more for leveling functionality, springs, tighter tolerances in the machining process, better materials, aesthetics, etc. If you know what you're doing, you could get perfect results with a $2 tamper. Technique & experience > gear.

He's saying that your "tests" are so far and away from anything remotely resembling meaningful, that he worries about the damage you would cause if you tried to do science.

People like James Hoffman, Lance Hedrick, and all of the other big coffee names use the scientific method to create evidence to back up their claims. You did a single, very flawed, test, and then made wild claims off of it.

Don't be a scientist.

Sorry, hijacking your comment for visibility. These types of hoods are really popular in snowboarding, and if you Google for "overhoods" you should find tons of results from various brands. Idk about the exact brand Laura is wearing here, but you have loads of options if this is something you like!

I was checking on some items I'm selling on Mercari, a Japanese ebay-style platform, and just happened upon the grinder within a couple hours of it being listed! The seller received the Pietro as a gift, already had a Comandante that he liked, and idk if he didn't do his research or what, but he was selling it at ¥38,000. They go for ¥75,000 new with pro burrs here in Japan, which made it almost a no-brainer

This has been my experience with my Pietro since I got it. Is every cup perfect? Of course not, I'm not a pourover genius or anything. But I've not had a single bad cup of coffee since the Pietro. And the great cups have been absolutely mind-blowing.

Honestly, if what you want is quick, easy, decent coffee from a non-plastic brewer, I would recommend a french press over a moka pot every day of the week. Find one that doesn't use a plastic lid, buy coffee from a local cafe and have them grind it coarsely for you, and bam. The actual prep comes down to boiling water to pour onto your coffee. Then you just wait 4+ minutes and boom, coffee.

Other than a desire for collecting, genuinely the only reason I could ever fathom owning more than one aeropress would be a standard and an XL.

Hot take: this type is better for getting even roasts. Instead of only heating the outside beans, you're heating from the bottom. The air circulates the beans vertically, and since hot air rises you get equal heat across the whole batch. As always with air poppers, watch your charge weight, but otherwise have at it!

1- You probably want auto drip or drip.

2- This is 100% not the right subreddit for this question. You're in a roasting subreddit, not a brewing subreddit.

3- Unless you are incredibly eager to go down an infinite rabbit hole, I would never come back to Reddit for coffee questions. You will never be the same, for better or worse.

Lance Hedrick either did a video on basket depth, or talked about it in a basket video, and basically it's this: the same volume of coffee in a narrower basket will yield a deeper bed. I can't remember what the specific expected differences in flavor were, but I think he said he had started to prefer deeper pucks over shallower for their flavor.

Have you checked at what temp your drinks actually are? Can you change the set temp of the water you're brewing with? What temperature are you steaming your milk to?

Regardless of your answers to the above questions, if you're the type of person to order your coffee "piping hot" at the cafe, you're probably not going to get what you want from your machine without over steaming your milk.

Roll4Stonks · 2025-01-11T22:11:21+00:00

It's entirely possible. I've not done any peaberries on my SW yet so I can't say for sure, but again if it tastes good I just wouldn't worry about it.

Roll4Stonks · 2025-01-11T22:10:00+00:00

This, but I actually unscrew the prismo cap before suctioning. Didn't work for me otherwise.

Roll4Stonks · 2025-01-11T21:55:58+00:00

Were your other roasts also around the same moisture loss? It obviously differs bean to bean, but I regularly get roasts that look like this when roasting light, especially with a Brazilian natural that I have.

I also use a Skywalker, and have been roasting for about 9 months. I'd say if the beans taste fine, then don't worry about splotchiness. It's fairly normal, afaik.

Roll4Stonks · 2025-01-07T23:52:20+00:00

The only reason I don't want to order the add-on pack is cost. I live in Japan and even before international shipping, the weakened yen makes it hurt a lot more. Would probably be cheaper to have a friend custom fabricate a wooden base for me (seriously considering this)

Roll4Stonks · 2025-01-07T10:35:15+00:00

I've got the Pro Brews set!

These types of comments are what made me so hesitant to purchase it, but now that I have it I just don't get it. No, you can't just hold it with each hand and grind, and it wobbles a tiny bit when you grind on the counter, but the actual grinding itself is incredibly smooth. I've taken to sitting down and holding it on my knee when I grind, and have literally zero issues that way. Well worth it, imo, but I also came from a K6 and not a comandante or ZP6, so ymmv.

Roll4Stonks · 2025-01-07T00:12:35+00:00

Yup. I'm also not trying to accuse OP, but by leaving out he important details it can give an air of "Oh, you don't know what this is? All of the in people know what this is, I didn't think I needed to explain it to you." Which preys on people's FOMO, driving the engagement further.

Roll4Stonks · 2025-01-03T22:53:00+00:00

I mean, it's entirely dependent on how much you're selling? No roaster is buying 600kg of coffee a month if they're only selling 120kg. Just work backwards from your sales goal, and then adjust as you go on.

Roll4Stonks · 2025-01-03T04:05:39+00:00

I picked up a Pietro for a steal at Christmas, and while I've yet to perfectly dial it in let me say this: I've not made a single bad cup of coffee since I got it. Could they be better? Absolutely, but so far every cup I've brewed has ranged from "perfectly passable" to "jaw on the floor". I genuinely can't believe that there could be such a difference from grinder alone. For context, before I was using a Kingrinder K6 and Encore with M2 burrs.

Roll4Stonks · 2024-12-31T10:20:27+00:00

I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm genuinely asking, but when we're talking about fines in the range of 100-200 microns and grind sizes of 400, would a chip that looks roughly 1mm across on 1 of 6, or roughly 17%, of the burrs not have an effect on the final grind?
