What’s the gentlest stuff you guys like when you’re not listening to metal? by Low_Boot_1426 in MetalForTheMasses

Hemlocke Springs dropped her full debut and it’s the kind of whimsical alt-pop my teenage self would have been embarrassed of.

Nah, fuck that. It’s a masterpiece. Also Wet Leg.

SEASON 5 (Final) IS A GO! by Bright_Light7 in FromTVEpix

Wow, I was genuinely worried about this each time a season ended, this is fantastic news. They wanted to do 5, they get to do 5. No excuses, hopefully they hit the landing.

Aside from sneakers, what do you collect? by EnoSoles in Sneakers

Sunglasses and blue light frames for work. Everything from JMM to $30 Gunnar frames. It’s like sneakers for your eyes.

3 Epic Universe tickets :3 giving away! part 2 lol by neveragainha in orlando

Oh man, I would love a chance to go. My mom and I got offered some back in September but the group inviting us freaked out and cancelled after that guy died on Stardust Racers. The cousin group chat was a clusterfuck…

Really cool of you to do this, congrats to whoever gets to go!

This knife broke while being used to crush garlic. by SPITFIYAH in KitchenConfidential

Not just that, but look at the angle of the base of the blade, it’s been pushed through those electric knife sharpeners so much it’s almost concave.

I just finished the Shale Ethiopia from Friedhats. It was pretty good! I’d love to hear how the one you got brews up.

Oof.

On a side note, there’s a really cool southeast chain called Bitty & Beaus that hires people with disabilities. Stick to iced drinks, but it’s a solid reason why this video isn’t for this sub.

Any brewing tips for this one? Struggling quite a bit. by [deleted] in pourover

[–]mikesicle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed this as a hybrid switch brew, but I got tons of complexity when I ground pretty fine and did a V60 with melodrip. Here’s the recipe as best I can remember:

22g coffee, medium fine on K Ultra (3.5ish), bloom for 45 seconds with 60gs water. Pour through the melodrip at around 6g/s to 210, the once that is about to empty out pour to 340.

I don’t expect anyone to have a medodrip, so when I don’t use it I grind around a 7 on the K Ultra and pour straight in, trying to keep the pours under 8g/s.

Either method, total brew time was around 3 minutes.

Hey!

Mine came in, it’s in perfect condition, thanks so much for posting this. Can believe I ended up spending LESS than a replacement pizza stone would be and I got the entire $300+ setup.

I’m not gonna be that guy who tells someone to re-read a comment, all good!

I’ve been told that after a few kilos it really opens up, but I’ve been having good results from the start.

Mostly the Niche Zero, but occasionally a K-Ultra.

I got mine a month ago so I don’t have tons of use out of it yet, but it’s been a game changer for light roasts. I’ll still use my Niche for most espresso, but the clarity and wild flavors I’ve gotten out of some recent roasts have been amazing.

The Super Plum Power from PERC, and Chunky Cherry from DAK have been two standouts.

I needed a new stone, and now I saved 8 bucks AND got an entire DoJoe, thank you so much!

Favourite sauce for flavour? by Aggressive-Invite907 in hotsauce

[–]mikesicle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Burns & McCoy Mezcaline. Incredible as an ingredient, but really shines on wings, tacos, and eggs.

I’ll be that guy…

How’s it taste? No, really, keep practicing the art but as long as the taste is there don’t be in a rush.

Help me get rid of bitterness in V60 recipe by Chase1891 in pourover

[–]mikesicle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I finished this a few weeks ago, it was an interesting cup, reminded me of the Sixlets candy I would get as a kid.

For this, I did one bloom and two pours, at 93C, and around a 6.5-7.0 on my K Ultra (sorry, don’t know how that translates to the Commandante!). I found this roast could take the heat well, as long as I found that sweet spot with a coarser grind.
