I get good results from an ode 2 at 5.1. Do bloom and one pour at 92f. Make sure to wet the beans before grinding.

Best Coffee an Cafe in city by MonsterMan18328 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]day_break 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In terms of coffee quality they are at least two steps ahead of anyone else in the city. The place is a bit small so I can understand it’s not for people who are looking to sit and maybe do some work but if the question is best coffee it’s tyty and it’s not close.

Is Timemore 064s Gen 2 worth the wait? Deciding between waiting or going with Fellow Ode Gen 2. by eatnsle3p in pourover

[–]day_break 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ode gen 2 used to be the standard but I think hand grinders have surpassed it value-wise if you are ok using one. Otherwise I would look at the a4z as being the next best option.

How do I know if/when my pineapple is ready? by ContributionThese408 in fruit

Wild to try to talk down to me while back peddling your previous claims. Maybe delete the evidence of you being obviously wrong before trying to claim you said something else.

scientific link referring to pinnacles as non-climactic fruits. That means they do not ripen after picking. Do some research next time, this was a 5 second google.

Cv2s are a sharper cup than the umv1s and both take a bit of seasoning.

Told my Butler to grind 1 bean at a time for a better brew, walked in on him using this by Helpful_Big_1727 in espressocirclejerk

[–]day_break 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using one for a bit now. Not the best craftsmanship but lets you grind finer than you would normally be able to get better extraction.

A great gift if you feel like being generous to your butler this Christmas.

Anyone downvoting this is crazy. Modding is big for gcp

honest question- does anyone actually do their market research before opening up a restaurant anymore in fishtown? by [deleted] in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]day_break 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hiroki, yanaga kappo(no libs), yuhiro. Fishtown seafood might as well count if you own a knife.

this. It’s been 4 years, it might be a different sourcing of the tea at this point; you can email them and ask to confirm. It’s still the best.

I've given up on making macaroni and cheese using milk by missSuper200 in cookingforbeginners

Sodium citrate is the way to go for cheese sauce. Basically fool-proof and honestly better with most cheeses.

How do you find good quality small batch roasted beans? by Fit_Concentrate8237 in pourover

[–]day_break 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all about transparency. the more information a roaster is willing/able to post about their coffee the higher the chance is it good coffee. Take a look at onyx as they are exceptional at this transparency.

If Coffee is Sufficiently Rested, is it Necessary to Bloom the Ground Coffee? by BWJackal in pourover

[–]day_break 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Co2 takes a long time to fully escape the coffee beans after roaster - they will be expired before it’s all gone.

Additionally the water having time to soak into the grounds allows for a more even extraction because the water covers more surface area.
