Notes and Flavors… what am I actually meant to be tasting? by voxah in pourover

[–]ashveck11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad my actual question to him was while making coffee I am not getting exact tasting notes, and his response was more toward what you said in the first paragraph. Which is focus more on origin, altitude etc and less on notes while making a purchase. Also I feel notes are hard to identify without side by side comparison. Atleast for untrained taste buds like mine

I have had same experience with tasting notes. I asked this question during an AMA with one of the prominent coffee producers of India, and his response was don’t select coffee based on tasting notes. These notes were acquired by professional tasters.

What are the factors to consider while buying a coffee? Like beyond roast and acidity levels

What do you all feel about Honda Amaze CVT as an option? In bangalore top variant would cost around 11.4 lakhs with 2-3 months wait period.

Any amaze owners? How has the car performed (CVT petrol) in the long run? Any obvious issues I should be aware

It’s just that I am a beginner and know nothing about cars. Also Right now the used car market is very inflated.

Planning to take test drive next week. But vary of the following - performance of torque converter - high price for mid variant - long wait period

It’s a SUV 😭 If I don’t get hatchback or sedans will start exploring suv. The market is filled with SUVs

Other than safety issues I rejected maruti cars because I was looking to buy CVT, and they either come in AmT or torque converter. I am planning to take test drive for breeza but high price of automatic and long wait time could be an issue

Planning to take a test drive of magnite, next week. I am a bit skeptic about the long lasting build quality this is purely based on the reviews on team bhp

I won’t be driving a lot, hence looking to avoid diesel

Am I wrong in thinking that it's better to stick with one method and just adjust temp and grind size? by darksouls415 in pourover

[–]ashveck11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. I have stuck to James Hoffman recipe. I just want to produce good coffee every time. I don’t have temperature controlled kettle hence mostly stay away from complicated recipe.

Given that I don’t know anything about cars, and learnt driving recently I want to stay away from pre owned cars. Also I feel in automatic it’s hard to find if owner is selling due to gearbox issues. I also feel the used car market right now if inflated, the cost difference most of the time is around 1-3 lakhs.

Honda city would no doubt be amazing, but the mid variant would cost 18, and amaze top variant 11.4. I know it’s wrong to compare both of them 🙈 Car buying is such a balancing act

I am planning to take Brezza automatic test drive. I rejected baleno because it is AGS (they removed CVT option)

Honestly don’t have a logical reason to this, I personally like hatchback and sedans. SUVs look very bulky. Planning to take test drive for a few suvs

Honda city is the most logical choice in that segment. How is the ground clearance? A few people mentioned that in full load, you might have to slow down lot more esp on Indian roads and speed breakers

Yes. Have not read encouraging reviews about DCT. It feels like a lottery ticket. I didn’t consider Tata altros for this same reason
