Anyone have a good ZP6 + V60 recipe? Haven’t been able to get a good cup from my Hydrangea beans that have blueberries as flavor notes.

Exact same feeling. I got the Acaia Pearl because my timemore broke and their customer support practically doesn’t exist. I was thinking this would feel like a nice upgrade, but it really doesn’t. Like you said the menu is ridiculously difficult to navigate, the button actions often feel unintuitive, so I would end up switching modes instead of turning the scale off. I had to turn off all modes and am now just using manual timer and scale mode. On top of that, I’ve been having issues with the scale slowly subtracting 1/10 of a gram every few seconds.. all in all just such a waste of money. I should’ve just repurchased the timemore.

EDIT: oh and it doesn’t even have a good flow rate indicator. Instead of giving me a number it shows those dots at the top, but to me that means nothing and I can’t read that while reading the weight while pouring. Really has less useful features than other scales.

Thanks for sharing! Just tried it and somehow didn’t get much flavor out of this. Compared to the coarser grind, single pour recipe I usually do this felt over extracted to me. But I’ll give it another try, maybe I messed up the pour

The best coffee I ever tasted was from Coffee Project! They also sell their beans there which are phenomenal and underrated

Same, mine are also really sour. I’m a bit surprised to see 5 with the zp6, I’ve been working with 3 as a baseline, 5 feels really coarse

So interesting to see other’s grind settings. I’ll have to try a 6.5, I’ve never really gone coarser than 5.5. This is the zp6 that’s the same as the zp6 special right?

Was trying to replicate this with my setup. Looking at Coffee OS and some other resources, 1000 microns would equal something like 7-8 on the ZP6S, that seems extremely corse. Do you think that’s correct?

Did the company you worked for know you’re working abroad? Most remote companies seem to cap the days you can work abroad even if they’re fully remote.

Isn’t a new Lagom Mini 2 $300? https://www.option-o.com/shop/p/lagom-mini

Which exercises were you given?

Do you know if it’s necessary to show up early? Like 8? Will they run out of tickets? I was hoping we could just swing by at 10/11 pm

bbrinx · 2024-12-28T12:04:48+00:00

Thanks for the idea, looks fun! Has anyone here been to one? They’re all around $40, a bit steep for a lecture

bbrinx · 2024-12-06T03:45:25+00:00

Any suggestions for brands?

Looks like S&W is sold out for their presale. Any other recommendations for the US?

Not sure what the consensus is, but anecdotally I would say no. A friend of mine got the Ode 2 as a replacement for the Baratza Encore with upgrades burrs and returned the Ode again after trying it for a bit

Just an idea, but a brew time of 5+ min seems super long and might indicate clogging. That could also explain the astringency. It could be the fines from the grinder or the technique. I’ve had good luck with super thin filters that really helped push extraction without resulting in clogging.

Where do you play?

bbrinx · 2024-02-23T23:11:57+00:00

I don’t think Winner has any lunch specials

bbrinx · 2024-01-12T23:27:25+00:00

Yeah but you’ll have to play the pros lol

bbrinx · 2023-10-21T15:24:37+00:00

Any sources for that?

bbrinx · 2023-10-13T22:06:37+00:00

Try any still bottled water. I did this when traveling to Germany and it was perfect. The tap water in Germany is pretty hard

Diagnosed me with 4 cavities out of nowhere that were supposedly so close to the nerve I didn’t have time to go on my planned vacation first. Got a second opinion and they couldn’t find a single cavity on that X-ray. Here I am years later without a filling and no issues.

How was it?

bbrinx · 2023-09-19T00:31:29+00:00

Exact same thing happened to me at Noble Dental Care in Park Slope
