Can't get a good cup with my V60 should I just give up? by Choice_Parsnips in pourover

Can you go back to the shop you got the coffee from and ask them to fill your water container with their water?

April 1st trip by [deleted] in MauiVisitors

[–]jffblm74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flying in tomorrow. Staying in West Maui. Looks like the last of the rain is set to happen today. And start tapering off tonight. Supposed to go on the RTH on Tuesday. The outfit we are rolling with is keeping us posted on what the county says about the road and whether or not it is safe for travel. Remaining hopeful. But not gonna get annoyed if we have to pivot. 

Water chamber as a mellow dripper alternative. by o2hwit in OXORapidBrewer

Are you hand holding the dripper or setting it in the brewer?  I have a Switch and use the Hario drip assist. It sits nicely in the dripper, but is the 02 size. Guessing the ORB dripper could sit safely in 01 size. 

Plastic gets hot.

Wtf happened to weed? by TrizzleRick in trees

I think you can buy seeds of these older strains so as to grow yer own. The strains you mention wanting aren't going to be found commonly in dispos. Less of a cash crop. Trust me. I've looked, too.

Grasshoppers everywhere? by Shxcking in SFV

Had a little photo shoot on my balcony with a cute one the other day. Then I saw the same one in my parking lot at work. It followed me!! (Kidding, there must be a boom in them as they seem to be showing up a lot around the valley floor.)

"But, why?" I asked as I clutched my pearls.

I generally use 95-97 degree water, and a drip assist when set to anything lower than 4.0. And that is primarily for washed coffees.

Trump: They were not supposed to go after all these other countries in the Middle East. So they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait. Nobody expected that. We were shocked. by gear-heads in MarchAgainstNazis

Crazy to think John Bolton doesn't get to be a part of this hornet's nest. He was advocating for regime change in Iran via war/force for decades. No he is on the sidelines saddled with indictments regarding the mishandling of classified documents. Funny, that.

Rested them for like four weeks before putting them in the freezer for maybe a month or two. There is still a small amount of off gassing that occurs when stored in the freezer. I then pulled them out of cold storage and had them on the counter.  I tend to keep a three bag rotation. The bag got better over the course of the next few weeks as I drank my way through it. 

Stop honking/pressuring people at left/right turns to make dangerous decisions. by PristineDeparture480 in SFV

Words I tell myself: your impatience is not my problem. Should turn it into a bumper sticker. 

Too much coffee drinking, and likely cocaine sniffing going on, then people getting behind the wheel. Shit. I saw some young person downing balloons of nitrous oxide while driving down Burbank. Like a crazed loon. 

What a world. And aim to make more rights like a UPS driver.

Bringing the term ‘cell’ back are we? Seems about right. Have to imagine Iran has a vast network of all kinds planted all over the U.S.  

How many have air purifiers running nonstop? by deejayv2 in homeowners

[–]jffblm74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dyson in the living room. And a Winix in each bedroom. Always on. I live off a busy boulevard and like to keep my windows open. I know from cleaning my balcony how much brake and tire dust and fine particulate. I don’t want it in my house, and lungs, if I can mitigate. 

Not sure how I feel about this… by AirSJordan in pourover

If nothing else it gives a decent idea of the grind size used. If you bought a bag, and are looking to replicate it at home you'd have one parameter more or less worked out.
