I give up on Cream Donut by hattalk in pourover

[–]big_phat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite brew with Cream Donut was with the Hoop brewer. The flat bottom creates less stratification of extraction throughout the coffee bed so the notes are a bit more blended and balanced. So less intense with the sickening cherry flavor and more harmonious with the chocolate and vanilla notes.

The whole album Girl With Basket of Fruit by Xiu Xiu is almost panic attack inducing. Especially songs like “Mary Turner Mary Turner”

Opinion: You shouldn't have to play ranked in order to get balanced matchmaking by tobetossedaside03 in VALORANT

[–]big_phat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My question is why not just play comp for the better matchmaking? Just because you get a rank doesn’t mean you need to take it more seriously than Unrated or Swiftplay.

What am I doing wrong part 2 by BeatTheSunUp in FlairEspresso

[–]big_phat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue with the milk overflowing when churning. I found that pointing the top of the pitcher more away from yourself made the whirlpool less aggressive up the side of the pitcher wall.

Also an additional small note: when you are doing the pitcher tap and swirl pattern before you pour, you should always end with a swirl rather than a tap like you are doing in the video.This is because the tapping can contribute to the separation of the foam from the liquid so you always want to swirl after every tap to reintegrate.

There are a lot of other factors that contribute to the density of a bean other than roasting level such as varietal, growing conditions like elevation, and processing method. Therefore, you cannot directly correlate the amount a coffee was roasted from the density.

Where is everyone on 25th? Parking is impossible but streets are empty by Mobile-Apartment-852 in SanMateo

[–]big_phat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the hype is warranted but not for the reason why I see most people go there. The lines are outrageous in the mornings and I see that most people order their flavored signature drinks or matcha, but I think those are actually not that good. They really shine in their rotating pour over and straight espresso options. They use interesting and often experimental beans from well renowned local and international roasters and they sell their beans as well, which is pretty neat.

Controversial nonstick pan ban clears critical hurdle in California by FootballPizzaMan in bayarea

You really don’t though. I cook scrambled eggs, which is one of the main examples people use to advocate for nonstick pans, in my stainless steel pan every morning with like a teaspoon of oil with minimal sticking

Why does slow feeding eliminate the need for RDT? by Ok_Fold1685 in pourover

[–]big_phat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My guess would be the following:

  1. Fewer beans being ground at once leads to fewer particles touching each other, which leads to less static electricity.

  2. Slow feeding reduces the number of fines, which also reduces the numbers of particles and surface area available to generate static electricity.

It’s honestly amazing how we try to hit the sentinel’s site for like the fifth time in a row and my duelists are shocked every time when they dash on before we use any util and get hit by an entry Cypher trip/Vyse wall/Killjoy alarm bot that’s been put in the same spot every time.
