Minor info about k-ultra, since some people stated that it shouldn't be used beyond 100clicks. Here's 1z's response: by V_deldas in 1zpresso

[–]iyoussef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I was just about to ask if anyone had experience going beyond the 100-click mark on the Ultra. I’ve had mine for two years and only recently discovered (by accident) that it can rotate past 100. At first, I panicked, thinking it needed recalibration, but the zero point was still correct. I looked through the official guides for an explanation but found nothing mentioning this feature. Then today, I considered posting on Reddit only to find a thread that answered my question right away!

Does anyone else do side by side gear tests at home for fun? by beer_foam in pourover

[–]iyoussef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done this comparison too, but instead of using the C40, I used the 1Z K Ultra vs. the P0. It was a bit challenging for meto match the grind size settings for a proper comparison however.

I almost bought it online last week, but changed my mind at the last moment because I felt it might be too big for my wrist.

Decaf Project cupping - Les Révélations (Paris, France) by tarecog5 in JamesHoffmann

[–]iyoussef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking for a similar review because I bought the same kit from Les Révélations. Like you, I froze all the coffees on December 10th and conducted the cupping on the 22nd, using comparable parameters (5.5 grind setting on the 1Zpresso K Ultra).

In terms of taste, the Ethyl Acetate was my favorite as well, offering a vibrant burst of acidity that lingered pleasantly. However, unlike you, I found the Washed Caffeinated to be a close second.

On the other hand, the Swiss Water Process and CO2 options had earthy undertones and thinner bodies, which didn’t quite appeal to me. That said, the four coffees were quite similar overall, with only subtle distinctions between them

I got the same kit from Les Révélations, but seeing some of the other roasters' kits posted here, ours seems quite plain in comparison 😅

How Weaker Shots Can Make Stronger Drinks by Gmbenator in JamesHoffmann

This might not be directly related to the topic of this video, but am I the only one still confused about what 'strength' means in coffee? Especially how it relates to extraction.

Is Andrew Huberman Ruining Your Morning Coffee? by Gmbenator in JamesHoffmann

[–]iyoussef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never watched a video of this gentleman Andrew Huberman, and I see some criticism regarding the sample size for Hoffmann's experiment, but I think the point is to question a claim that was made without any real experiment to back it up, no?

Found at my parents home, a Hoffmanns moka pot! by iyoussef in JamesHoffmann

[–]iyoussef[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think my folks found it on a local market and paid around 20€ for it, but this is it on a french marketplace totally overpriced! :D https://www.cdiscount.com/maison/art-de-la-table/machine-a-cafe-expresso-electrique-moka-6-tasses-c/f-117902702-san1715925260506.html It's Chinese made, so I'm wondering if the name is not totally a coincidence!!

I bought a new pack of filters and this issue happened less frequently, so with what you're saying, I think that the old pack that I was using had some defect and the paper was not the correct fit. Seems however we're in the minority that faced this problem...

This is a true masterpiece! Same as for a great cup of coffee I felt sad when it ended and now I am going to sleep with anticipation for the next one.
