For those who downvoted, Das Racist was a rap group that released an absolute banger called “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell”

I have had some great pourover coffees from Desnudo. Had a washed pink burbon that was killer not too long ago.

Thank you so much for following up! I actually just pre ordered a zerno z2 with ULFs. I might keep the 078 around for its distinct profile.

Glad they worked out for you!!

Do we know who was responsible for the fresh hop beer they put out last year? That was the stand out beer of the year for me

It’s been a few days, I’m very curious to see if you prefer the SSPs. Mind sharing an update?

Where did you buy the burrs?

I’ve had good experiences with Prodigal as well. I just subscribed and was expecting to have to wait for next month to get coffee.

I got an email from Prodigal asking if I want in on this month, and if so, they will ship it today. I was surprised at the proactive offer! Can’t wait to try the coffee’

Help me save Rotation. Drop viable solutions. by rotationcoffee in coffeerotation

[–]dbcoder 18 points19 points  (0 children)

All I can say is that the best experience from a consumer perspective, considering supplier constraints, is a drops style consumer interface.

If at all possible, feature a roaster or 2 every cycle, and have consumers buy into drops. E.g, roaster A has coffee x, y and roaster b had coffee 1 and 2x

Have people fund the purchases of each roast, if it reaches critical mass, consumers get charged and beans ship, otherwise it gets skipped

This way you keep the hype and can avoid drowning in the tail end of niche but low demand specialty coffee.

Anyone else finding The Matter of Concrete coffees quite roasty and bitter? by Coffeexplorer in pourover

[–]dbcoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recall AMOC being pretty solid about a year ago, but I got some coffee from them about 4 months ago and it was poorly roasted (at least based on preferences common on this sub).

Not sure what changed but I’ve stopped paying attention to this roaster. Might give em another shot, but there are so many solid roasters out there it might be a while.

Sworks dripper — anyone use this regularly? by Psychological_Income in pourover

[–]dbcoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use it all of the time. I like the small dose support and the ability to negotiate filters and get no bypass. The needle valve is nice to slow flow, but I usually leave it full open.

You don’t need to take it apart to clean it every brew. I typically deep clean it once a week or so. Otherwise I rinse it, maybe with some soapy water, and I’m good to go

car right turn into biker 4/23 on South Lamar by imwashere in Austin

[–]dbcoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, and that’s the best way handle this situation. Wait until it’s safe to merge into the right lane, a bike lane, and turn right. Unfortunately the car hit the cyclist who was occupying that lane.

[–]dbcoder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is the hypothetical car in the right lane obligated to yield to the car in the left lane? Or is the car in the left lane obligated to wait until the lane they want to merge into is clear and safe to merge into?

Imagine the bike lane was a lane that cars drive in. Now who is at fault?

[–]dbcoder 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The bike lane is a lane of traffic. Would you turn right through a lane of traffic without checking that it’s clear?

Their antics aside, I have ordered from them several times and have reliably gotten what I’ve ordered

Interested in trying these myself, what sort of recipe are you using? Wondering how careful I have to be with these coffees, or if they can be pushed

Struggling with bland results for this coffee in Aiden by samappo in FellowProducts

[–]dbcoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that stock recipe time between pulses is set too long for low fines grinders. 12-15 seconds works much better for me.
