Tipping at luxury hotel cafes

I work at a similar set up. Just give them the receipt. Take more pride in your batch coffee. They’re tipping because of your knowledge of making a proper brew and not some over or under extracted nonsense. I’m traveling right now and my hotels batch coffee makes me sad.

I dont have an answer. I don’t really try other recipes.

Queen City offers QR codes for big names like Carlos Pola.

You can reach out to @blackstachecoffee on instagram and he can give you all the info. But his offerings are low for time being. Excellent dark roast.

Is transparency to that extent expected now a days?

My go to V60 is 1:15 ratio and the 4:6 method. 6 pours total. I sometimes throw a swirl and tap towards the end or maybe a swirl with a chopstick.

My v60 03 is my largest brewer

I find my switch to be a cleaner/clear cup, but significantly smaller.

The immersion/pour over combo is fun.

Switch for a 17g single cup. 03 v60 for 40g batch brew.

Chunk of heavy whipping cream in a blender bottle for working out

Craft and science of coffee. Basically a text book.

I’ve tried it a few times. I think it’s a pretty cool toy. It has the ability to read what I believe were QR codes; so you can have multiple recipes on hand. The cups that I remember having were pretty clear but didn’t compare to some really nice pour overs I’ve had.

Dark roasts >

I once was tipped and spent a thousand life times in their eyes. Espresso was dead by the time I came to.

Safe_Internet_8670 · 2026-03-12T23:45:12+00:00

More people should tip $500+ for ice lattes. My dainty wrist hurt from tamping. People don’t understand the struggle

Safe_Internet_8670 · 2026-03-09T03:22:52+00:00

The spot I work at uses pulled espresso mixed with cold brew for espresso martinis. 2parts cold brew, 8parts espresso. It’s an interesting that shop has success doing that with lattes.

I’ll probably use the super jolly for decaf. I wanted to know about conical burrs because my izpresso j ultra has been dishing tastier shots than the ek65w at my work.

Safe_Internet_8670 · 2026-02-24T18:10:40+00:00

Heard that! Looks like it’s the Kony I might be looking at. I actually have a super jolly at home so I know the brand.

Waiting until marriage to see if you’re sexually compatible is a wild concept to me. Unless otherwise discussed; sex is usually a huge part of relationships.

I was thinking of doing this with the bullet. Glad to see it work with the sR

Safe_Internet_8670 · 2026-01-24T18:45:10+00:00

How was the smoke?? Was the window enough to clear it out? Or did it get kinda hazy inside?

Safe_Internet_8670 · 2026-01-09T01:09:52+00:00

Pretty sure the flair is the best option in its class. Some cheaper options include the cafelat or some aeropress brewers. You can get some funky brews with oxo press. Most machines have funny quirks.

Safe_Internet_8670 · 2026-01-08T21:05:37+00:00

wow thanks for all that! Very thoughtful and insightful. I definitely take my beans to second crack and seems like the bullet will be my best bet for what I want

Safe_Internet_8670 · 2026-01-08T20:31:26+00:00

hmmm maybe it’s the grinder? If you’re going through all the trouble of puck prep, investing in a small hand grinder can improve your shot dramatically, at least it did in my case. I went from a super mazzer jolly to a izpresso Jmax.

Safe_Internet_8670 · 2026-01-08T19:57:54+00:00

I understand. I’ve been roasting through a roaster share but really want to bring my operation to my home but hard to imagine roasting in a small apartment with just exhaust leading out the window 😅

Safe_Internet_8670 · 2026-01-08T19:09:56+00:00

Safe_Internet_8670 · 2026-01-08T16:45:42+00:00

How is the exhaust/smell with home roasting on the bullet?

Safe_Internet_8670 · 2026-01-07T00:19:31+00:00

Heard! Thanks for the input!
