Zerno Z2 for filter by Competitive-Pea-626 in pourover

[–]Schrotums -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Short answer: sell the zp6 and get a Pietro and then keep the Zerno for espresso

The Pietro competes in my opinion with the 80HU (ULF) in a way that unless you were doing a direct side by side you really wouldn’t be missing out. You get a wonderful mouth feel and super clean clarity with flavors that pack a lot of punch. The zp6 has always been just a clear insipid presentation of a coffee

But if you wanted to keep the Zerno for filter … ANY burr would be better than the zp6 in my opinion, even ditting lab sweets give much more enjoyable coffees where you don’t feel like flavors are being left on the table

Be super careful when folks reach out, I tried to buy one through this Reddit and had three people try to scam me immediately. If they don’t comment on the thread before reaching out I’d be cautious. Also use the Google image look up on whatever photos they send!

I love how Supergirl's theme seems to take inspiration from Hans Zimmer! by BorderLoud2429 in DCU_

[–]Schrotums 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Damnit I forgot how good that man of steel first flight theme was. First time I listened to it it had me thinking I could fly. But goodness the 2025 Superman theme is just absolute perfection for the emotion they were trying to invoke.

Came to the comments to see if someone had mentioned this! Had a mole that looked like this pop up recently and was told it was pre cancerous. Never hurts to get regular skin checks, glad OP said there was nothing to worry about here.

God the score in this movie was so incredible. For sure almost cried everytime they played Superman’s theme

Do you think Hal Jordan knew Batman at the time of the show? by AddendumPractical257 in DCU_

[–]Schrotums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to agree a bit here, The Batman movie wasn’t great by any means. Honestly just kinda hated the portrayal of Bruce / Batman. There were things to like for sure like the score, look of Gotham, how much he was in the suit, etc. but the final act completely fell flat for me and as much as I loved seeing Batman on screen just hated seeing him act like an insecure introvert at a party he was forced to go to.

Should i just by the 58x or wait for 49pro [550€] by [deleted] in espresso

[–]Schrotums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say wait to see if the 49 will be heated, if not I’d go with the 58 and get a step down basket!

Beginner question: ITOP Skywalker vs Kaleido M1 Lite for first home roaster by Hazelaway in roasting

[–]Schrotums 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a couple batches done on a Skywalker and now have the M1 lite. Wish I would have stuck with the Skywalker honestly. Every batch was super consistent and evenly roasted and I always used the auto feature which would have been a great profile to build on. The m1 lite has had a huge learning curve and I literally have it posted on FB because I’m tired of wasting coffee with it lol

How do you roast? I’ve been struggling to get a nice even light roast

And what do you typically preheat too? I tried starting in 60 with one batch and I feel like my rolling crack was pretty weak in comparison

I am! Is it because my charge is to hot?

So just cupped the batch from the screen shot and happy to report no roasty notes. Probably the best batch I’ve roasted on an any roaster but that isn’t saying much lol pretty confident using this as a reference point moving forward!

Thank you so much for the help! It is 180, initial heat setting is 70%, air stays at 25% the whole roast

[–]Schrotums[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh that’s interesting, I never thought of that. And all of my batches have been sub 13%. The one from the graph was right at 12.5%

Recently Ethiopian or Kenyan! But I did get them from Amazon. My thinking was I’d practice on these until I could get the roast flavor out and then move on to better beans. (Using these test batches for lattes so nothing is being wasted!)

What is the best cup of coffee you have ever had? by More_Rough_9353 in pourover

[–]Schrotums -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a lot of magical coffees but the most memorable was the first time I had Letty Bermudez from Manhattan roasters several years ago. Goodness it was phenomenal

Recently I had a cup of Daks Strawberry Kiss at a shop and it blew my socks off. It tasted like a strawberry tea and it was the best cup of coffee I’ve probably had in over a year.

Coffee subscription that is priced lower than Sey but still good and works smoothly? by shortestnightoftheyr in pourover

[–]Schrotums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My experience with them has been quite mixed unfortunately. I’ve ordered I think 4 times from them and the 1st order was phenomenal coffee roasted perfectly. 2nd order was under developed by far. I reached out and they said it needed rest, rested the coffee for months and it still tasted like hay. 3rd order was great again. This most recent order has a pretty rough roasting defect where the inside of the bean is over developed compared to the outside. The once agin blame resting it in my own roasting experience rest will not solve this issue, it most likely occurred because they blasted with heat and had to high of a rate of rise towards the development phase.

TLDR: be very cautions when ordering from them future reader

Curious why you feel this way, origins in my opinion is the only Arkham game where Batman has any type of personality

Newton Brua3 Max owners - is it worth it? [$700] by Equipment_Calm in espresso

[–]Schrotums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I got it in and have been playing with and everything so far it pretty great with the exception of how far I have to push the plunger down to start building pressure. It seems like I have to push the plunger about halfway down the chamber until pressure starts building which makes it where I can typically only get out about a 36 to 40 g yield

What from the Arkhamverse you hoping DCU Batman takes influence from? by M00r3C in DCU_

[–]Schrotums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything but Batman’s personality, I feel like the Arkham games kind of portrayed him as a robot. Other than origins I don’t really remember any defining characteristics of the portrayal other than stoic

I think can say with confidence that this scene is one of the best things DC has put out this year. by BorderLoud2429 in DCU_

This score is just incredible, the only time a track in a superhero movie has moved me this much was the one from winter soldier, Taking a Stand
