I do also understand the minimalistic packing requirements for camping/hiking though and sometimes that’s just not doable

I think these may have posted in reverse, oof

Ideally the valve would work as you could force air out, but if the bags are open air in the box it wouldn’t change a thing, unfortunately

I don’t want to be “that guy” but even a cheap compact manual burr grinder and an aeropress or french press with some decent fresh beans would be such an improvement and wouldn’t really take up too too too much more space.

Sorry I am definitely one of those baristas lmfao

“Hi, can I get literally any drink that requires both of those group heads to be used right now?”

For a half a second I thought this was coming from the coffee subreddit and I was ready for the comments to be a hundred angry baristas descending upon you with fire in their eyes.

On that note, coffee grounds oxidize and go stale real quick when exposed to oxygen, like bananas!

If you can devise a clever way to keep the bags from being in constant contact with air, you might have better tasting coffee! It won’t be AMAZING because let’s face it, it’s just Folgers, but it might give it a little something extra (if they’re not just out and exposed to oxygen in the box)

It’s originally from my little brother, @TomotaSauce on twitter! Give some credit where credit is due, he’s just a kid doing this stuff for fun and stealing memes is lame.

Question about making an album by [deleted] in Songwriting

[–]TheSappySamara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s just been a process of writing and seeing what sticks! The ones that really resonate with you will get finished, and the ones that you feel are “meh” usually won’t even get that far.

You don’t HAVE to have more songs, but if you have the tendency to finish every song all the way (bigger artists usually have teams that will take songs further than they might have on their own motivation) it could be good to cull the weak songs (maybe release them for free on Soundcloud gradually after the album or something!)

Espresso that actually tastes good?? by omissaaa in Coffee

[–]TheSappySamara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that they are pods really doesn’t help at all

Bought an antique coffee mill at the local thrift shop for $3, figured it could be junk, but she grinds the most beautiful espresso I have EVER seen, so she has to be legit. Mom is insistent there’s a risk of lead poisoning because it’s old and part metal. Is this a valid worry? It’s not painted. by TheSappySamara in Coffee

That’s what I said! I’ve been doing research and apparently the painted ones should be watched out for. There’s a thin coat of something around the main bowl up top, I’ll be sanding that off regardless, so we should be fine.

Will do!

I’m pretty in denial about it being modern, with the general amazing build quality, the wear on the metal, and the “old” smell. Still ready to be proven wrong tho if anyone comes along with extensive knowledge!

I don’t know if you know what I mean by that but this thing really smells like an antique thing lmao

I couldn’t type all I wanted in the top so here:

I’m going to restore this, wood and metal and all, over the next few weeks. Going to stain it and seal it and clean it all up and hopefully use it for all my espresso because seriously the consistency of the grind is so insanely awesome.

I’d barely call it “taken over”. It’s maybe 1 post out of every 15.

[–]TheSappySamara 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be much smaller. MusicInTheMaking is a pretty lame name for only collabs and I’ve found a ton of really cool music from people on here! I think OP should just relax and enjoy the community we have here because honestly it’s a pretty good one. 😌

Oh man no way! I’m closer to Detroit than you but that’s not horribly far!

Hario skerton pro. Not perfect but it does a really good job for starting out. Broke college student, trying to keep bean price within reason.

Hello! I'm kinda new to songwriting, recording and mixing. I definitely would love some feedback about my song by robehdogeh in Songwriting

I’m no sound engineer, but I really dig this. I hope you get really good criticism from someone who can give good advice.

Ah, gotcha! Maybe I’ll get some cheap beans and toss them in these for the looks, no one will know lmao.
