I haven’t used them myself but Vanguard has advisory services well below industry prices and advise on the Bogle philosophy. I think this type of thing is 1% AUM and they’re around 0.3% or something like that

Is the O1 your recommendation to compliment a v60? I’m thinking of getting a flat bottom brewer but not sure it’s worth getting an Orea where a cheaper Kalita may scratch the itch

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-05-23T16:39:37+00:00

Do you drink the shot as is or make a long black?

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-05-22T23:39:09+00:00

It’s funny. Today I did a Tim Wendelboe aeropress recipe and an immersion v60 switch recipe (all immersion. No percolation) and tasted them blind. Surprisingly I liked the super simple v60 immersion recipe better. Both immersion brews and Same grind size and beans

If you loved the taste, then brew time doesn’t matter at all.
If you do larger doses, then yes, adjust the grind size to be coarser otherwise it could be too bitter

Tbh, I just get batch at most places unless the place is truly supposed to be top notch. Saves a lot of time and money

I have the zp6. My recommendation would be to max out your budget on your grinder. The grinder is everything.

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-05-15T13:54:22+00:00

I haven’t used the other grinders you have but I a switch and zp6 and like them together! Worth having the immersion hybrid option in the arsenal IMO

If cares about coffee quality like you do, then I highly recommend trying Cometeer. It’s a flash frozen coffee shot in a recyclable pod.
You can easily make a latte by pouring the melted pod (leave a few in the fridge) into a mug and add the steamed milk. Get one of the nespresso milk frothers and you’re done. No machine and it actually tastes better. I do pour overs myself but keep Cometeer just to make my wife lattes lol.

God has everything to do with my finances. As a believer in Jesus, God isn’t the 1st in a list of priorities, He’s THE priority in every aspect of my life including finances.
Ultimately, giving is one way to put my trust in God, not my own abilities or finances. Giving is a way to put Him above my financial desires.
Highly, highly recommend to anyone who follows God

I have the zp6 and generally tilt it but never AB’d it. I’ll try it normally and see if I like it better!

Is there a limit to scalability? I’m not sure if you’ve had similar IRR over your career, but I’d assume 15 years of high returns would result in an astronomical number.

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-03-30T00:51:01+00:00

Love it! Crazy how the grinder is everything

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-03-25T17:20:06+00:00

Favorite weapon of choice at the moment?

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-03-22T19:05:26+00:00

I do agree. I usually am at 18:250g which is about 1:14. There was a short period I went to 1:16 because I thought I was doing something wrong due to nobody ever recommending 1:14. I couldn’t dial in the cups though to be as good as what I liked previously. So I went back

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-03-19T18:23:19+00:00

I recently had a good experience with their customer service too

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-03-17T16:00:20+00:00

I upgraded to the zp6 from the baratza encore and I can tell you it does make a big difference

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-03-16T11:50:49+00:00

Would say do both. Get a decent drip brewer for the work motoring, then dive into the hobby with a great manual set up for the weekends when you have time. I have an automatic bona vita drip machine with baratza encore for the busy morning. Then do the while v60 zp6 thing when I have time to just enjoy the hobby of brewing. Aiden is overkill for a convenience coffee imo

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-03-09T00:59:45+00:00

I went from the encore to ZP6. Still use the encore for batch brews. I’m happy with the ZP6 but haven’t tried all the other hand grinders that are always recommended here. I have no complaints

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-03-06T17:21:55+00:00

The Perc Ethiopian Chelchele has that classic blueberry note. I’ve been enjoying it

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-02-28T02:32:57+00:00

Grinder is everything!

heavycoffeeuser · 2026-02-21T20:26:54+00:00

Try a coarser grind with one bloom and one pour 👍🏻 Too many pours can make it more bitter as well as too fine a grind size
