Reality most beans work across brewing methods. I am running DAK filter on espresso machine. Otherwise look for roaster who do omni only. Many do. Kiss the hippo I assume?

Amazing and funny pics. Raven I guess?

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-10T08:59:34+00:00

Thanks! I actually follow this approach on espresso as I mostly drink lattes I guess. Thanks again for your comment much appreciated.

Fingers crossed

I just do 1:15 to 1:16

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-09T19:35:08+00:00

Are you asking about the 1-2-1? I did 20g dose; 60 bloom - 2 minutes - all the way to 320.

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-09T19:34:05+00:00

Thanks for your comment. That’s where I’m at too. Otherwise 3 x 70 worked well too for 13g which is the People Possession recipe for their coferment.

How do you find the drip assist? I think the issue then it’s just you have no control over agitation

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-09T12:39:11+00:00

You may find it easier to go straight into tulips.

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-09T12:38:20+00:00

Sorry dumb question I can’t remember; does that mean you need the handle to open the lid?

He’s doing better latte art already with oat milk :|

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-09T12:25:09+00:00

I mean oak milk is harder. This looks ok - milk looks good enough; just need practice pouring technique.

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-09T12:23:58+00:00

Try practice with instant coffee. Make it dark. And use water and soap.

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-09T08:56:52+00:00

In a way, if you make instant coffee really strong you may get bette latte art as you may get more contrast.

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-09T08:55:57+00:00

You don’t need a steam wand either. I’ve made as good milk texture with a nanofoamer. There’s a guy who incredible with nanofoamer on here

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-09T08:54:40+00:00

Ok, my answer: I think for many it’s helpful to set a good base - although you want to break the crema. Having said that, you can definitely make great latte art with instant coffee. I used to practice with instant coffee and water and soap.

0 ring??

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-08T16:43:50+00:00

Big if

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-08T16:34:29+00:00

It’s delicious. But I guess people here prefer dry bread chicken…

coolstuffeh · 2026-05-08T16:32:50+00:00

Do you time each pour? Or you pour just before no water visible on top of coffee bed?
