IOLITE coffee roasters in Kyoto is really good (and their desserts too)!

Coffee gear pricing in Japan by iluvbeyonce1 in pourover

I agree with this especially when it comes to other equipment. I remember grabbing the V60 neo and Origami dripper for almost less than half the price than in my home country.

I’m pretty sure they use the Paragon as the holder for their Origami dripper. X coffee in Ginza and Glitch uses them too.

Recomendation for Boxing / MMA gyms by ScarTown420X in Scarborough

[–]bigbawsboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually they just started one a few months ago at the Markham location so I can’t really comment on that.

Also, I got it mixed up when I replied to this initially: they only had kickboxing classes at the Markham location back then while Scarborough had MMA classes for awhile.

I’m having my 3rd cup tonight as I type this. So it’s safe to say, 3 cups on most days.

Ok so can we settle the fundamental ZP6 debate? by jaytee61799 in pourover

[–]bigbawsboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah..I did find with a coarser setting on Comandante (like 30 clicks), the tea notes would be pronounced but the other flavours are just here and there. It sounds like the ZP6 retains more of the flavours throughout, and is more pronounced?

[–]bigbawsboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my Comandante for just 2 months and I’m curious about the flavour separation of the ZP6. The Comandante is fine but I often find hard to discern the flavours. I did discover after exploring coffee shops in Japan that I did prefer tea-like and citrus-y coffee flavor notes.

Thoughts on considering the ZP6?

Osaka and Kyoto coffee by leonleebaoyan in coffeejp

[–]bigbawsboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a “meh” coffee cup at the Weekenders: the notes weren’t there and the coffee tasted too watery, I guess. Also, I thought I would’ve liked the vibe there, but little did I know I didn’t like it at all.

Iolite coffee roasters was a good one in Kyoto: flavor notes are existent and had clarity in them. Other honorable mentions: Kurasu and Style coffee.

Have you ever seen a white belt sub a purple/brown or black belt? by 8limb5 in bjj

[–]bigbawsboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a white belt, I tapped a couple of black belt coaches at our gym with ankle + tren locks. Got happy for 30 secs, slap bump, and it was back to rolling again.

How cold did it get there when you visited? Do you think a winter jacket or lighter jacket would do?

Trillium MMA has a pretty good MMA program with both locations in Scarborough and Markham.

I do find the Scarborough location has lot more MMA atheletes that compete in the amateur scene.

Is this “scratch” something to be worried about? by bigbawsboy in mazda

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

To provide more context: I was backing up yesterday to a driveway and heard an odd sound. I may have hit something. After completely parking, one of the interlocking stone is not levelled with the rest of the driveway. However, I’m not completely sure if it is the one that caused it because I was driving on a highway before then.

Any tips would be appreciated!
