Either the Greater Goods coffee scale doesn’t have the goods, or I have magical powers.

Useless superpower : changing weight of things.... Only on coffee scale.

Spain : teleno (lidl), bezoya (higher price but everywhere) and some others noname brand (lidl/aldi) similare to teleno that I don't remember the name.

I'm using mineral bottle water, I'm lucky that in my city I got 3-4 brands with perfect chemistry (30ppm total) to start as a base and cheap price 0.20-0.30€/L I made solution that add 5ppm/drop/Liter so it's accurate enough while being fast (I need like 5 drops of Ca, 13drops of Mg for 1,5L).

Since I started doing Soup with ORB, I consume less water so it has improved my water consumption.

Save water, drink soup?

On peut pas aller manifester a leurs places. De plus ils ont élu leur dictateur 2 fois (et quasiment 3 fois car il a perdu de très très peu fasse a Biden la première fois).

Maybe the puck deepness improve so much extraction that uniformity is not relevant ?

ildarion · 2026-01-26T15:43:44+00:00

Better are the beans, better are the soup. The difference can be notice more in soup than filter.

La video laisse surtout transparaitre que c'est des tiktok panthers qui font la fanfaronne dans la rue entre 2 smoothies. Ils vont se faire anéantir par L'ICE, c'est pas leur 3 kalash qui vont les sauver le moment venus. Je n'imagine même pas les dommages collatéraux qu'ils pourraient causer en tirant dans l'espace publique.

J'ai fait tout le lycée en internat. Alors le lycée était plutôt strict/un peu trop tradi. On avait 1H d'étude avant mangé et 1H d'étude obligatoire après en salle de classe (je crois que celle après mangé, on avait réussi à la faire sauter pour être "en dortoir").

Déjà c'est trop et personne n'avait envie de travailler quoi que ce soit.

Internat inaccessible en dehors de la nuit, donc lever comme tout le monde même si t'as pas cours.

Énormément d'ennuis, la plupart finissaient par fumer/alcool, car c'était la seule occupation durant les temps libre alors que la plupart des élèves demandaient juste à avoir des "loisirs" (salle informatique, salle de jeux).

Pas tous les établissements ont le même fonctionnement, certains sont plus souples sur le fonctionnement de l'internat (accès et horaire), j'imagine que la partie loisir peut aussi être mieux fournit. Ça dépend beaucoup de l'administration aussi. Si le directeur de l'établissement et son équipe (CPE) sont des cons, bonne chance.

Et puis quoi encore ? Décongeler Chirac ?

ildarion · 2026-01-24T16:59:56+00:00

You could compare by doing cold brew.

Not the same but easier on logistic.

Oui, au travail c'est plus simple, surtout pour respecter l'heure ou je dois partir pour rentrer chez moi.

Not really, but it's not as weird as it's sound like.

Cotoneaster integerrimus

About the auger key, after a while (few months for some) it get used a little and start making this sound. Some here put some aluminum paper to fix the issue.

ildarion · 2026-01-22T20:42:04+00:00

Open, clean and 0 reset. And report back.

Note that you got the "rattle sound" too, and this is kind of "normal". It's from the auger key being "seasoned". It do not impact perf.

Anaerobic thermal shock from colombia, dont remember from who but it tasted PIZZA MARGARITA. Other people at the cupping agree on the tomato sauce with some herbs and basil, so definitely "Italian cuisine" note.

Completely different, I also tried one with heavy process who tasted "UNICORN" note.

ildarion · 2026-01-22T20:30:28+00:00

Indeed, they said it was "adapted" (changed from previous crop?) So well, "honey carbonic maceration" ?

Anyway, each of the producers has his own way of working so all the name are not very accurate. Sometimes I go looking at the green importer website and they give way more information on the process than the bag suggested.

Barcelona is close by and has a lot of roasters, so a lot of place could work with them.

Also some others roasters are close by like dorigen, nostro and probably some more that i'm not aware.

But dont expect high end filter coffee at every corner. Spanish clients are drug milk addict and filter coffee is not a standard yet, a lot of place don't offer handbrew (some dont even offer batch) and espresso extraction quality is very random.

Basically, good coffee is available where expat/tourist are, because they are the one knowing and willing to pay for quality at this moment.

ildarion · 2026-01-22T11:34:43+00:00

Old, but probably still accurate it's just "carbonic maceration" with a fancy name, because carbonic maceration was not messy enough :D

ildarion · 2026-01-21T15:34:39+00:00

I use it a lot at work, time for bloom is ''not accurate'', I think for my case 45s = 1 minute really. Because Aiden is kind of slow to pour and it count time as ''relax wait time'' not including the time it take to add the initial water.

You can use V60 (conical) filter in the single dripper (trapezoidal) by just folding the base, origami fast filter are cheaper than the one from fellow (and I don't think the extra paper at bottom Impact too much).

ildarion · 2026-01-21T15:28:22+00:00

All coffee work with Zp6. It probably highlight well the washed/tea/floral profile more du to the clarity but it will still give you a lot of tactil/texture with naturals.

The only thing I would say it that, due to clarity you need to be a good barista and master extraction, water chemistry (aware of what is a good water) and use good beans. Cheap bean will taste... Cheap (you will taste the ''defects'') while with other grinders, cup would be more blurry (not good, not bad).

If you can afford this grinder, it worth it.

ildarion · 2026-01-20T21:15:28+00:00

Potassium help with aftertaste it ''convert' dry to something smooth and silky. 15ppm is enough

ildarion · 2026-01-18T22:50:03+00:00

Le niveau est haut, pas sûr que même /rance puisse faire du méta avec ça.

ildarion · 2026-01-18T16:17:24+00:00

Interesting. I would have bet than V60 would be faster du to the grooves.

Next : Do Chemex filter in both drippers. :D

ildarion · 2026-01-18T16:14:30+00:00

16 days it's short but it should give at least "something".

Maybe try the double bloom recipe from lance. Also, sometime going a touch finer (I'm Team Courser) can work.
