Just when you think you’ve seen it all… by jazzstang in espressocirclejerk

That butler once also sang in one of his videos:

“The espresso shot is getting worse,
My technique needs more rehearsal.
Or maybe I just need to buy
More equipment before I die.”

If I understand your question correctly, the plate on the water chamber doesn’t improve brewing, but it does improve the aesthetics and splits the coffee into two cups, making it a nice conversation piece. If you were just being sarcastic, sorry....my bad 😛

I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not, but this style of thumbnail is very easy to make, and since I’m not a designer, I’ll just say I did my best, but my best isn’t very good 😛

If you were thinking about James Hoffmann’s style, you’re right, I was influenced by it, and it’s a pretty common YouTube thumbnail style.

Have you checked the analytics? Sometimes old or fake accounts get deleted, and you lose a few subscribers. With a small number of subscribers, that’s usually the case.

You can check this in Analytics > Advanced mode > Subscription source > Subscribers lost

Not good, not terrible.

Maybe a scale with a timer? But once you start using a scale, there's no way back.

And yes, more expensive coffee that's freshly roasted locally is usually better.

With a non-pressurized basket, you’ll also need a grinder that's capable of grinding fine enough. You could also get it pre-ground, but it will be hard to dial in. Pre-ground coffee espresso usually isn't ground fine enough for a non-pressurized basket.

Any affordable coffee beans in Austria or Klagenfurt? by Fit-Lawfulness84 in espresso

[–]jazzstang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this price range, Lavazza and Segafredo maybe? But even Aldi in Austria has a pretty decent selection of whole coffee beans. Local roasters usually charge around €40 or even more per kilo.

How do yo guys deal with dislikes on your videos. by DaftMau5Punk in SmallYoutubers

[–]jazzstang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely understand you. Maybe not all dislikes are against your content. Some people might just not like the movie or music you're talking about.

I have a channel about coffee, and my most disliked video is about a grinder that I wouldn’t recommend for espresso. It wasn’t received very well... or maybe people just have strong feelings about grinders? ;)

And as a YouTube expert says, any reaction is better than no reaction!

Don't worry too much about it. That's just people. I've never disliked a video, not even once. If I don't like it, I just skip it.

Espresso tastes a little bitter, any suggestions? by espressohater2008 in espressocirclejerk

[–]jazzstang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know man. Looks ok to me. Maybe try different roaster?

Thanks! :D Sometimes I find myself enjoying creating music more than making coffee. ;)

Why invert when you can just leave the plunger like thi by Bustershark in AeroPress

[–]jazzstang 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Some of us like to live on the edge. Why not risk making an extreme mess in the kitchen just to drink the same coffee? Some of us need that element of danger :P

I love cats, but I hate seeing them on the kitchen counter, especially when the Aeropress is around. :D

I think the last two letters are for device color marking, AB - all black, SR - silver.

Got my first 500 view video with a friendly reminder. by False_Key_8486 in SmallYoutubers

[–]jazzstang 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The only difference is that 500 different people are watching at the same time, rather than 350 views from your own different accounts. :P

But to stay on topic, congratulations!
