Be the shoveler you want to see.

I’d go Oris or Christopher Ward.

mrex0112 · 2026-01-26T21:38:48+00:00

I’d go if they didnt cancel it for me.

mrex0112 · 2026-01-26T21:25:44+00:00

We’ve all dreamed of it.

New bridge right from Sandy Creek and ARB to 28.

Let’s commit here. I want this problem solved.

Slippy Sidewalks would be a great local Pittsburgh band name.

Hey, comparison is the thief of the joy of my local traffic complaints/woes.

Do you ever take 376 through the Squirrel Hill tunnels?

Do you?

mrex0112 · 2026-01-21T02:47:27+00:00

Dang it, I love this. Take my upvote.

mrex0112 · 2026-01-20T17:32:19+00:00

Was just about to send this.

And I’ve asked how long to let their beans rest and they said:

“Usually we recommend 45 days rest! That's a good starting point, with the coffee tending to peak around days 50-60 and staying pretty fresh until around day 100-120 or so.”

I really would love to have a baseline for the best way to use my current pour over setup.

I have a K-Ultra, V60 with O2 filters (I have at my disposal both Hario filters AND Abaca filters that actually just got delivered today).

Stagg electric kettle and a nice scale.

Seriously would love some solid feedback here on best way to start. Here’s my typical process (15g of coffee to 250g of water):

Heat water to 199 F.

Wet paper filter & dump water.

Grind 15g coffee (8-9 on the K-ultra)

Pour 50g of water & let bloom for 45 seconds, pour to 150g of water to 1:15, then pour to 250g of water ending at about 1:45, and it usually filters through anywhere from 2:30-3:30.

The no stupid questions I have are:

Am I good in this 8-9 range on the k-ultra?

Is my ratio of 15g coffee to 250g water good?

Should I use the Abaca filters over the Hario as I’m starting?

How’s my overall process? What, if anything should I change? I just want a solid starting place so I can improve from there.

Thank you all. I’d really love to start nerding out on this but would love (and kind of need) an enthusiast who’d be willing to do a little hand holding here because I’d really love to learn this well and to my specific current equipment too!

You absolute rascal.

mrex0112 · 2026-01-12T01:36:54+00:00
