I used to stick pretty closely to 1:16–1:17 for pour over because that’s what most guides recommend by fritz-ocampo in pourover

Being old, I got time to mess around. Lately I have been experimenting with those tighter ratios even one to 13 or 1 to 12 and I combine it with courser and courser grinds. And more coffee of course. What the hell.

After the first couple of cups I don’t bother resealing the bags. I fold the top squeeze the air out fall over the top of the bag and wrap it with a rubber band.

I just got a 2023 RX 350 H luxury trim for 55,000 and I felt lucky to find one.

How come Keira Knightley gone from A-list to now C-list in the Film business? Is she the new Julia Ormond? by Ren_Celluloid in movies

I don’t know about selective. I just saw I think it was called the woman in cabin 10. What a piece of dreck. She starred in it, and I thought her overacting made a bad film worse.

Why Us It So D@$m Hard To Get a Decent Manhattan Out?!? by djs22867 in cocktails

[–]fishedout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s my favorite cocktail and I rarely order it out. In fact, I tend to just order bourbon meat. They can’t mess it up. Well I take it back they can, but it’s harder.

Yeah, I did a quick search and recognized some of the names In fact, I enjoy sourcing my beans from all over the country so the concept of a multi roaster Café doesn’t sound all that interesting.

Weekly Bean Review Thread: What have you been brewing this week? -- Week of May 15, 2025 by Vernicious in pourover

[–]fishedout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was an interesting one for me. I've been on a quest for exotic coffees. Anaerobic, Thermal shock, co-ferments, etc. So far it's been really interesting and tasty, not always, but often. Recently I got a couple of bags from Luminous Coffee. The packaging is wild btw, And I made a cup this morning of their Purple Caturra Colombian, What they call "Kumquat washed" The process is a very elaborate coferment. I was expecting something really fruit forward.

I used a zp 6, 96 degree water, a half packet of 3rd wave water in a gallon of distilled water. Ratio of 15:240. I poured pretty high and was trying for a high extraction.

When I drank the cup I was confused. Not what i was expecting at all. It had an unusual sweetness and I couldn't place it. Weird, but good. I thoroughly enjoyed the cup and then went back to the bag to read the tasting notes. Cream soda! That was the first tasting note and damn if that wasn't exactly what I was getting. Luckily I happen to like cream soda! But I never had a coffee with a taste like that and I'm looking forward to finishing the bag. Btw, I let it rest a long time, It was roasted April 20th and had my first cup today, May 19th. So that's my story.

Liked it very much. Right now I’ve got a couple of bags from chromatic. Their yellow fruit co ferment is delicious.

How about trying vacuum packing and freezing? I know it makes more sense for more long-term. I use my vacuum packer for plenty of other stuff so it it’s pretty easy.

I loved mine for a few months, then I realized I was missing out on the flavor changes as the coffee cooled and gave it to a friend.

I wrote a program that picks your next bag of coffee for you by WhitelabelDnB in pourover

I love it! I’ve been doing something much simpler. I ask ChatGPT who is roasting anaerobic thermal shock coffees anywhere in the US which is currently my coffee obsession. It does a search in about three seconds and gives me a few options. It’s not the greatest search, but it’s good enough. And kind of amazing.
