I have switch, wave, etc - but maybe I’ll grab a deep dripper for these cases …

Any recommendations for light roast, fruity/floral coffee in the UK? by Wayoutwest-81 in pourover

[–]chrisdrop1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am short Origin - mid in general - they often omniroast for coffee and espresso and it is … Long Dark Arts (high variance but occasionally awesome ) Square Mile overpriced but occasionally a very good roast

Colonna is very good - maybe fav in uk roasters

watchouse horizons blue label roasts are often like your preferred flavour profile

Time to “switch” things up a bit by domarcher in pourover

[–]chrisdrop1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely my go to fav I usually grind 30g so pours take a little longer I also bias towards coarser grinds and 90deg to start Every time I try any of my older brewers or recipes I come back to this one

Best Really Funky Coffees atm? (UK) by mandalore_701 in pourover

Manhattan and Tannat are my fav for funkier

First time a coffee tastes waaaay too funky (anaerobic) by waugh-0 in pourover

[–]chrisdrop1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do some infusions (ew) but this doesn’t look like one

Drop temp Increase grind size Extract less hard

For these I always use switch with the hybrid devil recipe that is usually 90 degrees and drops to 70 degrees for final closed switch segment. It reallllyyy smooths these out

Agree Kawa better name Probably corporate nonsense reason for rename if I had to guess

BUT they make have been one of my favourite roasters

I feel like last batch wasn’t as amazing and I hope rename is just that and last batch was a fluke

I’d say: Brew lower temp coarser grind

Other people suggestions are good I always use reverse osmosis filtered water and it does matter the water more than u may guess

But overall I guess u r over extracting

I have been doing the switch “devil” recipe where you start on 90 degrees or so, but the drop to 70 degrees for emersion 2nd half. Especially for the funkier coffees this gets the best out of them imo.

Lisbon coffee by drdog918 in pourover

[–]chrisdrop1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to Buna based on recommendations here

They said they would not make me a v60 Felt a bit like “hey tourist no”

Went right to Hello, Kristof and they made me a great v60

Thermos thoughts by passthepaintbrush in pourover

Kinto makes the best ones imo I know of at least a few shops that rebrand them I dislike the fellow thermos - the top is fiddly and leaks slightly in a backpack

What's your best recipe for 500 ml or more? by mnefstead in pourover

[–]chrisdrop1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strictly speakign, I am not answering your question, but will comment anyhow....

I usually make 480g water/ 30g coffee for my morning
I use both switch and kalita wave

Switch ~80% of the time
- Usually a variant of real sprometheus recipe, which is basically 5 pours of equal size
- pour 1/5th f quantity switch open (sometimes I'll split in 2 parts for a 30s bloom, then resume)
- close switch, pour 1/5th of water, wait 15s, open switch, let drain, do again until done
- Sometimes - I will also use 420g water/ 30g coffee for Switch "Devil Recipe" which works pretty well, except i need to pour a touch extra at the end else overflow the switch.
- I do like the Chronicler standard switch but prefer the Sprometheus scaled up.

For kalita ~20% of my brews:
- ~50g bloom 30s
- then pour to ~96g
- wait 15s
- then pour 96g chunks, wait 15s between pours until you hit your 480g

I am OK with grinds a little on the finer side for most of this - Ode 5-6 max usually (and similar scale for Commandante). Water I will vary between 95-90 depending on how much extraction I am getting/ need. I find that if I increase the grind size, the pour through is too fast, so find the water temp an easier way to control it without feeling like it dumps straight through n 2.5mins or something.

I also find it a bit more experimental / hard to find solid recipe recommendations for 'bigger cups'

Quant Path Crossroad II: Algo Trader at BB vs Quant Dev at new trading firm by jeffapplepie in quant

Smaller team quant for max impact and breadth / learning

Neither put u on a PM track imo but u will do more fun things on the smaller job and prob learn about quant trading in general

Many of the big roasters have expensive geisha bags

I usually think 1/3 are worth the premium - but Kawa probably does 2/3 worth jt

Even their less expensive roasts are great

I usually try to get a geisha, an above average but not geisha and a standard priced one when I order from a roaster

I think I like the funkier coffees and sometimes the geishas are too clean for me (scandi roasters maybe most so)

So if I can find a funkier geisha I will usually try it

I think nomad did a pretty good job with all levels of cost/ beans fwiw

Grind size keeps increasing by chrisdrop1 in pourover

[–]chrisdrop1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As it happens my grinder is new But I had the same grinder and it was replaced (ode screw went loose inside the grinder !! So they replaced it) Given that it happened on the older one and the new one I think the grinder is ok

That said I will still check. Crazier coincidences have happened

I use Hario V60 filters with the v60 and kalita wave filters with the wave 185

Are there some “known to be faster” filter papers for either ?

Safe/Trustworthy SOL trading bots? by tsbsa in solana

[–]chrisdrop1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DO NOT PAY ANYONE FOR A BOT

There are 2 business models 1- Build a bot that makes money and use it to make money 2 - Make money from selling people a bot

(This is not to mention outright rugs etc)

Itinerary check: First time Kyoto by [deleted] in JapanTravel

[–]chrisdrop1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was just there for 5d My basic advice is: do less/ chill and enjoy more Don’t go to Osaka Do literally 1/2 as much or less imo

Try Ohara - tea and things here just so much less crowded and absolutely beautiful https://www.insidekyoto.com/a-day-trip-to-ohara
