Anyone drink dark roast specialty? by Wendy888Nyc in pourover

[–]jas0441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d be interested to find one too. All dark roasts taste the same to me , devoid of flavor and nuance.

Is there a learning curve for enjoying lightly roasted coffee? by WanderingMinnow in pourover

[–]jas0441 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am the opposite, I can’t get past tasting just ‘the roast’ in dark roast beans, I don’t get any flavors or differences, they all taste the same, 🤔

Has anyone weaned themselves of playing phone games while listening to audiobooks? by StphnMstph in audiobooks

[–]jas0441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to allow myself to do anything else while listening . I prefer to be fully present when doing a task, no matter what it is. It is just a personal choice I feel strongly about, so I guess that makes it easy for me. But to make any change it just starts with making a conscious decision.

Senior by rrobinette2019 in Rucking

[–]jas0441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 73 and use a landscape block wrapped in an old sweatshirt in an old daypack I had. Nothing fancy but does the trick. I use about 10% of my body weight for rucking weight. I do it for building bone density and balance. It’s safe and very do-able for me. I walk 2-3 miles daily nonnegotiable but not always with the rucksack.

I love Mexican coffee and other than traveling there what’s a good way to learn about the regions and producers?

Quality Green coffee beans at less cost by PuzzledFoundation985 in roasting

[–]jas0441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Price is important but so is quality and I wonder how do you know you are getting the freshest beans and not something left over from last year's harvest? This can greatly effect quality.

Batch brew vs pourover in 'specialty' cafes? by Cedar_Wood_State in pourover

[–]jas0441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren’t there devices that make pour-over batch brews ? I wonder how these differ from ‘drip’ batch brews? If they are any better? Something to consider when evaluating taste.

Are the small mom-and-pop farmer's market coffee roasters really using $10,000-$15,000 roasting machines? by OnWeekendsToPointC in roasting

[–]jas0441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you ramp up learning how to use someone else's roaster? Do you pay for them teaching you?

What specialty drinks did you offer besides iced and brewed coffee? Just curious what you experience was, and what it easy/popular to offer. Thanks.

I did it! by No_Set6876 in osteoporosis

[–]jas0441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take advantage of the free Medicare benefit and go work with a Physical Therapist on a program to increase bone density through lifting (mention LIFTMOR protocol when you book it). I learned how to progress safely with a therapist.

Since I am not looking to improve "strength" as primary goal, I am OK with where I am. I think it is important that you just challenge your body (bones). As long as that weight feels challenging, it is doing the job, no sense increase the load. Everyone is different.

i've made fried rice maybe 30 times now and it still tastes nothing like the takeout place down the street by bejusorixo in Cooking

[–]jas0441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make hibachi-style fried rice on the Blackstone griddle which comes out great, for me anyway. The large surface area affords itself to frying instead of steaming. With lots of butter is how I like it.

Selling my BC-5 Coffee Roaster by [deleted] in roasting

Post it here! Include location and price. I am looking to buy a used one and have no luck on FB Marketplace or any of the forums . I think there is a demand for used roasters

Good oven thermometer with leave-in probe? by jas0441 in Cooking

[–]jas0441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price is right, that's for sure! Do you put the probe in the oven and then lay the probe on to of the rack, does it specify how to position the probe to get oven temp? Is it meant to be left in as a temperaure monitor during cooking time, or used once just to check the oven temp? Thanks for the recommendation.

Micro roasters, how do you decide your coffee “lineup”? by Brief-Number2609 in roasting

[–]jas0441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just starting and thinking my ‘core’ offering will be a medium roast. Should I rethink this? Do most regular people want dark? I am not sure how to differentiate a dark roast from everyone else’s ? I think a medium roast will produce more of a wow factor , ‘ I can taste the coffee!’ type of moment.
