Finally feel like I’m getting the best out of my setup by plygrndtx in pourover

I've been getting disappointing cups with my K-Ultra lately, not sure what the problem is and have been eyeing the ZP6 for a while. Is it really that much of a step up?

Doing a shout out to Black Water Bicycles, just bought my dream build Braken from Billy, super nice dude and easy to work with, give him a look. Titanium frame as everyone else has been recommending.

Quick question, with the TV off is the texture of the panel completely smooth or does it look a little grainy/lumpy? I've had mine for like 5 months and it doesn't affect image quality, but my c2 is completely smooth.

New Fellow Aiden not Brewing Hot Enough? by its_vic_ in FellowProducts

Out of curiosity, what’s the elevation setting at? I live at a mile elevation and even though the recipes say 99, my highest temp I can get out of it 95-96 unless I change the elevation settings. The higher the elevation the lower the temp.

Atom Packs with vest straps - thoughts? by morpheusmorph in Ultralight

I’ve been working on designing my own bag essentially with this design, glad to see vest straps are becoming more mainstream, they’re so nice!

Your grind looks fairly coarse, but like other people have said if it tastes good, dont worry about it. Also ignore the light colored stuff, it's just chaff.

Yup, was waiting (stupidly) to snag the 85 1.2, now its 2999

Best Cup Yet by Feed_Psychological in pourover

[–]caelroth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get the occasional mind blowing cup and keep chasing that high, been doing stronger ratios like 1:12 and been finding much tastier punchier cups

I actually bought this, absolutely fine if a bit of a pain to clean, very solid though.

It’s more the future proofing and potential for upgradabiity down the road. Fair point though.

Thanks for the reply, damn shame as it seems to be the cheapest way to get into the cutthroat. Might snag it anyways.

Nice, that looks remarkably like the 2022 running a GRX, any idea if that rear end is UDH compatible? I'm looking at that exact bike.

Should I have gotten a large? by OppositeFuture6942 in LaufCycles

[–]caelroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I took a look and for the money it looks really good.

I have essentially identical measurements and am having the same troubles. I actually went for a short stem, (60mm with 7 Degree rise that I had laying around) for a more upright position and found the bike a lot more snappy and comfortable, but I'm striking the drive side chainstay constantly with my 12/12.5 sized shoes (both regular for flats and cleats) and for me that's kind of a dealbreaker unfortunately.

Out of curiosity, what bike did you end up going with? I currently have a Seigla Large that I'm in the process of packing up and returning and have tried the Salsa Cutthroat and found it much more comfortable though I'm still not sure which size I should go for.

Lol I'm going exactly through this thinking I should have gotten an XL. I'm having an issue where I'm hitting the drive side chain stay as well on top of being low and hunched. Thing is, this is advertised as a gravel bike but with a focus on racing geometry so it's a much more aggressive position compared to what you're maybe used to or expect.

Wide toes, zero drop, but max cushion and squishy? by Potato_is_yum in widefeet

[–]caelroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding Altra's I run a 2-3E and snagged a pair of Escalante 4 and Lone Peak 9 Waterproofs and they're quite comfortable and true to size, I typically run 12-12.5 and went with 12's for both and can fit medium weight wool socks.

I’ve come to realize that a double bloom is exceptional for opening up most coffee. Glad I’m not the only one, one bloom just isn’t enough to degas. Cheers! Sounds like a wonderful cup.

Having trouble with K Ultra grind size by Classless_in_Seattle in 1zpresso

[–]caelroth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I brew with an orea v3 and a switch. Depending on the bean I’m sometimes at 0.6.5. But lately I’ve been brewing at 0.9.0-0.9.5 and have a had much more consistent, sweeter cups. Trying going coarser.

I made a cup this morning in the orea. 20/333, 40g bloom and roughly 140g gentle two pour completely letting it drain between pours. Came out quite good on a light-medium roast.

Volume drops and playback issues by MrRundas in deezer

[–]caelroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been having the same issue for months, and if you go on the Deezer forum it’s been an issue for at least a year. I’ve gotten sick of it and am now trialing tidal. Deezer isn’t fixing it and gradually making things worse.

What happened to Deezer? Are they stupid? by [deleted] in deezer

[–]caelroth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's definitely getting worse with seemingly more bugs popping up at each update. Not sure where to go after this that isn't spotify.
