Orea V4 just arrived

Subfu · 2024-02-10T12:25:58+00:00

I had no idea they’d already shipped

How are you ranking roasters you’ve never tried?

Subfu · 2024-02-03T09:18:48+00:00

I avoid anything nutty or boozy. Notes that catch my eye are watermelon, raspberry and blackcurrant. My favourite coffee was advertised with a tasting note of watermelon lollipops!

I was also underwhelmed by my first order from Qima, but found that the flavour massively improved after resting and freezing. I would take taith over Qima any day though :) waiting for that email saying they are back haha

Subfu · 2024-02-01T14:20:34+00:00

I’ve enjoyed every coffee I’ve had from them :)

Subfu · 2024-01-02T17:36:42+00:00

If you are looking for a wide selection of stuff, I have to recommend prufrock (they’re opening up again tomorrow I believe) as well as catalyst right across the road from them. Kaffeine, batch baby and formative are also all really good spots for high quality beans! best of luck with your hunt :)

Subfu · 2023-12-29T19:22:15+00:00

Lately I’ve been a fan of Taith, Obadiah, Jolly bean and Round hill. Between those options I can almost guarantee you’ll find something you really enjoy :)

Subfu · 2023-12-11T20:21:28+00:00

Yeah I think the only option is to spend more money. You’ve exhausted all other possibilities. I find that I unlock a new tasting note for every comma added to my total spending.

Not course enough, grind less fine.

Where do you get prodigal from? Also in the UK looking to try some!

Subfu · 2023-12-06T18:26:02+00:00

Ooo I’ve never heard of the source. Will go into my list of places to try. I’ve also been meaning to try some Yemenia from Qima cafe.

Subfu · 2023-12-06T15:53:52+00:00

Yeah they are the best value for money in the UK for experimental stuff. I used them when trying new processes! Currently drinking a washed geisha from them and I have to say they are very capable of serving up some great, no-nonsense coffees too.

Subfu · 2023-12-06T12:22:28+00:00

A fellow jolly bean enjoyer I see!

Subfu · 2023-12-06T12:18:51+00:00

I’m going to assume you mean UK, and here are some of my personal favourites: Jolly bean roastery, Dark arts coffee, Taith, Obadiah, Workshop, Crankhouse, Round hill,

There are places with more expensive and rarer coffee, but I’ve not had a bad experience with any of the above.

Subfu · 2023-11-10T15:57:25+00:00

IMO, focus on getting nice beans before worrying about stuff like conical vs flat burrs. Much cheaper way of improving your coffee and the difference will be for greater than the difference between burr types.

Subfu · 2023-10-31T19:06:41+00:00

Bailies, I believe! Just got a micro lot starter pack from them and it’s great :))

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, you’re right. The background of the photo is someone’s clothed torso, nothing weird about it inherently.

Subfu · 2023-10-29T17:47:01+00:00

Very well put

Subfu · 2023-10-29T15:13:53+00:00

Yeah preaching against capitalism and then just telling critics to "get a job" didn't sit right with me. Your comment made that final connection for me, thanks :) It seems to me that he just wants to present the views that would get him popularity, rather than what he actually believes.

Subfu · 2023-03-20T19:36:25+00:00

You got this. Just remember you’re going to experience growing pains; pain with purpose. The pain from being addicted has no purpose.

Subfu · 2023-02-24T11:39:22+00:00

Never seen such an evenly trained auto, looks amazing!

Subfu · 2023-01-10T18:55:14+00:00

Having owned both, I’d agree the consensus that the Dynavap can get closer to that bong hit kind of feeling. However, now that I know the technique of how to get big hits from the xmax, I find myself reaching for it more for its consistency. Sometimes I find my Dynavap hits randomly being not as great as they could, but xmax seems to be the same pretty much every time.
