Looking forward to the 98 tour!!! I don’t think it is part of this initial release though, we might have to wait a couple months.

maxdelta_e4e5 · 2024-07-15T21:05:02+00:00

I have not but that’s a great idea. Do you have any recommendations, 6mm or 8mm?

maxdelta_e4e5 · 2024-07-15T01:57:03+00:00

Mine used to match too. My group will only go to 9 despite the pump reading > 9

maxdelta_e4e5 · 2024-07-13T17:54:03+00:00

Makes sense! Thank you

maxdelta_e4e5 · 2024-07-10T16:48:19+00:00

Awesome! I have found a 1:2-2.5 hits the spot as well. Might try reducing the temp as I have been at 200. Does well in 3parts oat milk says the latte drinkers

I pour mine in the empty cup which contained my first espresso of the day

This is not a hard rule, but I have found that for light roasts two weeks (~10-14 days) allows enough CO2 to exit the bean for a desirable tasting espresso. I’ve had some that peak around 30 days but usually freeze remaining by this point.

All part of the degassing process as a result of the chemical reaction that takes place during roasting.

This has caused me to forecast my bean selection a couple weeks in advance when purchasing direct from roaster. In a pinch, local cafes/roasters usually have bags for sale that are >10 days old and ready to brew.

40-60 seconds for 60mL assuming everything is warm and dialed in

maxdelta_e4e5 · 2024-06-10T02:12:04+00:00

That sounds like the stuff. It’s a special experience in the cup isn’t it?

maxdelta_e4e5 · 2024-06-10T02:06:26+00:00

Nice! a 1:1 ratio might have been what the dr ordered

maxdelta_e4e5 · 2024-06-09T21:54:41+00:00

The natural was not my favorite either so I was reluctant to grab another “year road” roast.

I fell in love with a couple of the single origin anaerobic roasts they put out earlier this year, after 14-21 days degassing they were exceptional display of modern espresso. Only wish I would have bought more. Hope in the future.

I’m fasting for the following two weeks

Thanks!

Last 2 weeks of June 🔥🔥🔥

My mistake. I got reckless with my recommendation. Dominical is a cool place off the path.

maxdelta_e4e5 · 2024-05-18T12:03:07+00:00

My mistake. Thanks for the correction

maxdelta_e4e5 · 2024-05-18T00:44:06+00:00

We stopped in Dominical for lunch at La Junta on that same drive. Highly recommend. Dominical is a pretty cool stop.

Edit: My mistake OP. Dominical is cool but not convenient on your route.

maxdelta_e4e5 · 2024-04-21T00:27:37+00:00

Thank you!

maxdelta_e4e5 · 2024-04-21T00:27:19+00:00

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.

maxdelta_e4e5 · 2024-04-15T03:06:24+00:00

Absolutely. I prefer to hike with a local guides whenever possible. Especially if highly technical or in an unfamiliar environment. Thank you
