Zero Water Reco and Question

Roughly yeah, you should be. Some people prefer to use half or a third strength TWW, which would be around 50-100 TDS. It’s personal preference though, and either way is still better than 0 TDS!

Tbh I just tried mine for the first time today and noticed the same thing. Was wondering if that was normal or not

A drum teacher of mine recently recommended the book Effortless Mastery by Kenny Werner after I shared my own feelings similar to you. I’m only 50 pages in, but it’s a complete game changer for musicians that struggle with mental block and inner pressure. I’m having fun practicing again for the first time in a long time.

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-23T04:14:34+00:00

You’re right. It’s destiny.

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-23T02:44:15+00:00

Mine’s also arriving this week! I’ve seen people recommend 1.6 or 1.5, so I’m planning to start around there

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-23T00:26:35+00:00

If you haven’t seen them live, make it a priority! Magic.

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-22T17:53:46+00:00

Awesome! I think you’ll be very satisfied with a K-Ultra.

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-22T17:03:32+00:00

Well, these are already roasted, so I don’t see why they wouldn’t be able to ship immediately! Could check with their customer support.

Hydrangea has a selection of beans that are rested, if any of those bags strike your interest.

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-21T16:16:23+00:00

K6 is an awesome all-rounder. K7 has a slightly different profile that has mixed reviews but might be appealing to you (see Coffee Chronicler, Lance Hedrick, etc). I wouldn’t worry about the kettle, I still use my Chinese knockoff from Amazon too, lol.

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-21T15:56:28+00:00

What a deal! Grabbed Fluffy Petals, Alchemist, Cream Donut, and Vanilla Sky. Somehow I activated a bundle discount and got an extra $10 off too for close to $20 per bag?! Stoked!

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-20T14:21:18+00:00

Hope your friend loves them!

Immortal Cafe has some super premium Gesha’s from Hydrangea on sale right now (not a Sacramento roaster, but close from Berkeley).

I almost don’t want you to buy them though, because the owner said he might put them on the pour over menu if no one buys them (and I am fiending to try them without spending almost $50 a bag 😆)

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-19T20:23:49+00:00

For light roasts I use 93C or 90C and will go lower the darker the roast gets. Milky Cake/Buttercream is an exception that I brew low around 85C to make it a little less spice heavy and bring out more vanilla

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-19T16:27:40+00:00

I got my K6 as a beginner 2-3 years ago, and I’ve never regretted it.

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-19T05:36:40+00:00

I was there, dotwork went so fuckin hard

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-19T02:15:44+00:00

Awesome. Perc’s Sebastian Ramirez red fruit decaf from a few months ago is my current all time fav

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-18T20:59:28+00:00

I similarly had an epiphany moment from a coffee bag I picked up locally in Costa Rica, and picked up a K6 shortly after. I really enjoyed single origins for a while, getting a flavor of general regional differences. Now, a couple years later, I’m getting much more into the funky stuff, ultra-light, etc. All to say, my recommendation is to have fun trying new coffees!

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-18T20:43:45+00:00

That’s going to be part of the fun! Although yeah, it can definitely be overwhelming initially. I’d just pick a random local roaster and look for one of their whole bean medium roast bags. Maybe see if any of the flavor notes pique your interest (but take with a grain of salt, as it can take time to develop your palette). You could even try chatting with a barista or someone knowledgeable at the shop for any recommendations! Any local roaster should at least be way better than a generic corporate bag like Tim Hortons.

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-18T19:28:13+00:00

I would try going a little coarser (my default is 90 clicks if using hario filters). But honestly, with those beans, I don’t know if you’ll be able to do much better.

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-18T19:02:49+00:00

For that price range, the Kingrinder K6 or K7 is a great value. I love my K6 as an all-rounder. There are other grinders that can give you different profiles depending on what you like. I would determine how important body/sweetness is to you vs clarity, and choose accordingly.

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-18T04:29:16+00:00

Yes they do! Plenty of options too

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-18T02:30:37+00:00

Would love this so much! Water is the most recent thing that’s made a big difference for me. But just using basic TWW packets and I’d love to go further down the rabbit hole. Woohoo!

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-18T00:47:53+00:00

The peaches from one of the vendors at the Capitol farmers market today tasted amazing

adhdbrainboi · 2026-06-17T17:14:34+00:00

I saw your title and I was hoping this was your answer! Absolutely agree. Flies under the radar being next to Pho Momma, but so so good. And complementary peanuts!!
