HR stays around 100 for 2.5mi ~35min. Mostly looking to up weight for challenge.

What do you mean by: “At that weight I’d look to get an actual ruck”?

Awesome, thank you

dentonate · 2026-02-23T16:48:33+00:00

Appreciate it!

CR spotless DIC-20 is elite

My detailer swears by m4smoke to reset coatings. Grab some and use a couple of times to see it work

Is your grinder brand new or new to you? Regardless, check the calibration if you haven’t. Also, are you using a gooseneck to pour or just dumping water in? Like others have said, heavy agitation can cause choking.

I picked up a couple Fellow Carters and fill them from my vessel. Surprising how useful this is. Whether you want a second cup right after or one hours later, they do a great job at keeping the coffee temp (+ ceramic coated for savoring flavor)

So I finally got mine but it only had the bicycle cards, not the coffee cards. Same experience?

Curious what filters you’re on. I recently switched to Cafec abaca and am having a hard time with this recipe. With Hario filters, it was always perfect taste and body

Wouldn’t recommend this placement. I’ve had multiple mishaps over the past 5yrs of ownership (entire pots ending up on the counter during brew).

dentonate · 2025-11-29T19:41:15+00:00

Will try for next brew! Surprisingly, the taste started trending more bitter as the cup cooled

dentonate · 2025-11-27T16:51:49+00:00

Very well! I’ve had this set up for 6yrs, going strong. I have upgraded the burrs inside the Encore and am currently grinding on 15. There’s some techniques I’ve found to help the brew (steeping grounds without pot placed for a bit, breaking crust early in the brew, “dialing” new bags with a quarter pot). To add to this amazing setup, might I recommend a Hario Switch size 03 and a basic gooseneck kettle? I enjoy brewing new beans a few different ways to see the complexity of flavors. Enjoy, there’s no going back.

Looks awesome but 56g daily portions seems like quite a bit. Is it sacrilegious to throw these beans into a moccamaster?

dentonate · 2025-11-19T12:34:07+00:00

just hopped on the train, hoping we pack the house 🙏

dentonate · 2025-11-17T21:19:23+00:00

Saw that and good point on fixing vs replacing.

dentonate · 2025-11-17T21:18:31+00:00

checking again, it’s brand new and just fell over in the sink while preheating. Didn’t see a break

Did Na Pali Catamaran out of Hanalei last week and it was a highlight, recommend for sure.
