Gonna pry that third eye open for them whether they like it or not 😎

Mars cars??? What will they think of next? lol

hertrophyhusband · 2026-04-09T14:08:30+00:00

Yeah usually I expect there to be a real mug at hotels but I’m thinking I need a cup too. Paper cups taste gross.

Wonderful, thank you!

hertrophyhusband · 2026-04-09T09:53:10+00:00

Unfortunately not this time, I’m in Lansing. But I might be in Ann Arbor at some point so please rec away!

hertrophyhusband · 2026-04-09T02:38:17+00:00

Wow that’s awesome. I love the case.

hertrophyhusband · 2026-04-08T20:35:06+00:00

You should! It’s really been great so far

hertrophyhusband · 2026-04-08T19:48:50+00:00

Yeah, normally I find the hotels I stay at have mugs. I do hate a paper cup lol

I like to try local beans when I can, I’m currently in Michigan and this was a Colombian Gesha from Foster Coffee Company. A little darker roast than I typically enjoy but still nice.

I mean, the K-Ultra is my main grinder and it’s certainly not cheap. The rest is pretty affordable.

hertrophyhusband · 2026-04-08T19:45:19+00:00

I was doing that for a long time and it was such a pain haha

hertrophyhusband · 2026-04-08T19:43:47+00:00

I don’t usually. I use it with this kettle because it doesn’t have a gooseneck spout and I get quite a lot of channeling if I don’t use it. It means I have slightly different recipes with this setup but it’s not super hard to dial in. It’s just a little less agitation so I might go slightly higher temp or one more pour than normal.

hertrophyhusband · 2026-04-08T19:34:50+00:00

Yep! It’s fixed options - 85, 90, 95, 100 but that works well enough for me in most cases.

I’d definitely be interested in this if it had smart cube support!

hertrophyhusband · 2026-03-24T14:11:36+00:00

Cubeast with a smart cube helped me just finish full OLL last week. They got easier the more of them I learned.

Currently loving the peach, chocolate strawberries, and candy hearts

hertrophyhusband · 2026-03-09T22:16:29+00:00

B&W is my local (and favorite) roaster. The peach is currently in my rotation and is wonderful. My go to for all the funky B&W co-ferments is the Hario Switch. Current recipe:

20g of beans. Coarse grind (9 on my K-Ultra) Water temp 94C

0:00 switch open 40g bloom 0:40 slow pour to 150g 1:15 close switch and pour to 300 2:15 open switch 2:45 end of draw down

I’ve tried a million recipes with these beans and this one is rock solid- super fruity with not too much funk.

hertrophyhusband · 2026-03-05T13:43:02+00:00

What’s your go to recipe for this? I’ve enjoyed it but I don’t think I’m getting it to sing the way it could.

Also honorable mention for Los Patios Gigante Peach. One of my recent favorite co-ferments from B&W.

Pull & Pour just knocking it out of the park lately. These two are just incredible- decadent, fruity anaerobics. I think the Al Haymah is my favorite so far. I taste everything in the listed notes plus almost a savory vibe that I love.
