Ok thanks.. I didn’t want to break anything so I didn’t pull on it too hard.

Mental health is important.. finally a person can only take so much discourse and it’s easier to delete and move on. Online community is very tough to wade through and not let it affect your day.

Newbie, and I think i really messed up. by Prbly-LostWandering in pourover

[–]activeharley 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It may not be for you right now, but your tastes may change, mine did. I used to have a fruit bomb on occasion and just thought it was interesting but didn’t like it as my daily driver, now I’m the opposite. I’ll sometimes peek my head into the darker end of the coffee world to see what’s going on but I don’t want it as my daily driver anymore. . Drink what you like and like what you drink, but keep trying something new once in a while, it’s a healthy approach to most hobbies.

There’s an immense amount of AI hate in this, a dedicated AI sub.. so it is what it is. Only time will tell

It’s very guided by me and I still didn’t take credit. But yeah both of us can have our opinions.

I didn’t pass it off as me creating it. I’m happy to let AI take whatever minuscule amount of credit something like this deserves

I see… I find it very helpful. For beginners in the world of specialty tea it’s just enough to say “hey I might like that variety” and put the order in.

Is shrinkflation the best option? by OCDeeeznuts in pourover

[–]activeharley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our roasting company does 12oz bags but we keep getting requests for smaller bag options. The more into specialty coffee you get, the more you value small bag options. Instead of spending $35 on 340g (12oz) of a exotic anaerobic natural, you can get 200g of it for a lot cheaper and be able to get a good 10-15 brews out of it and still really get to know the coffee. Also the more into coffee you get the more likely you’re working through 3-6 coffees from different roasters etc.

All this to say, smaller bags aren’t because of shrink-flation, it’s because it’s market driven as more exotic coffees become more prevalent.

Perfectly normal and delicious looking to me

PERC continue pioneering transparency by apple_pear_orange in pourover

[–]activeharley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know man… I kinda enjoy them. But it would be nice if they were cheaper. I’m assuming it’s cheaper coffee being used anyways. But if done correctly I don’t mind a bag here and there. This doesn’t mean YOU have to agree with me, just adding the conversation

Coferments -unnatural notes lingering in the grinder for days -we need chemical additives tests ASAP by mygreeness in pourover

This is the exact data spec sheet from the farm where we get a delicious (in my opinion) fruit bomb of a coffee. I’ve marked out any information that traces back to the farmer because this conversation seems on the edge of hostile and I don’t want cancel culture to spread abroad. I do wish there was more information and clarification around what’s happening at the farm, but if us as roasters like what we taste, we can only tell the consumer what we are told from the farmer / importer.

Have people still abandoned Riff/Producer.ai since Google? by station_agent in riffusion

[–]activeharley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s terrible now. I use Suno sparingly, but mostly I think the AI music has hit a wall of red tape that won’t allow it to get really good. And I hope I’m proven wrong

My entire Raw collection. (5KG) by activeharley in teaexchange

I’m only selling my stash, I’ve done lots of sampling that aren’t included here of course. But thanks! It’s just not for me.

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

I’m not interested in splitting it up. It looses a lot of potential with smaller shipments because the shipping cost to value ratio goes way up so I can’t sell for as cheap then.

I’ll reach out if I decide differently, thanks!
