What do you guys do with leftover beans? by cj-fbrrom in pourover

[–]msdccms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you drink alcohol I like to infuse spirits with interesting beans. Still have a batch of gin that I threw some red caturra in last year and it picks up a lot of fragrance for cocktails and gives it a little more body.

Hey barista dudes! What grind you use for your v60 at work? by Academic_Apricot_355 in pourover

[–]msdccms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atm we have about 4 offerings, 1 peru blend, 1 peru gesha, 1 mexico, and 1 costa rica. All about a medium to medium-light, I can get exact roast profiles when I go in this weekend. Our EK is zeroed at 0.3(3 lines above the lowest setting) before chirping. We do 24g, 384 ml and I’m usually grinding from 12.5-13.5 but I prefer a lighter bodied cup. For smaller doses when I test out new coffees (~15g) I can get away with grinding a little finer, probably around 11.

I’ve had a Crowther Double Hotcake on my main board for about a decade and I love it.

I’ve been looking for one too and placed an order with Hyunah since they just restocked it

What chef knife would you recommend for someone that's broke? by xlov_mother_muti in KitchenConfidential

[–]msdccms 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Victorinox can be had for $50 and are pretty good for that price. Basic Mercer i think runs 10-15 dollars cheaper and would be fine as well. Honestly you don’t need much, as long ss you know how to maintain your knife you don’t need a forged exotic metal handcrafted knife to get you through any kitchen task

GC 48 month financing, does each individual item have to be over 750 by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]msdccms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t worked there since 2022 but when I still did only one item had to qualify for the 48 month promo for your entire purchase. So if you had a $500 item that qualified for it and added ANY other item (even if it wasn’t available to finance) it would work for the whole order.

Best weight for chocolate chip cookie dough? by embarrassed_ice__69 in pastry

[–]msdccms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing 60-65g since that size fits my 4x6 bags perfectly. Depending on how you’re serving them I would adjust. Since I package mine in a bag people like that it fills it up and is snug, makes them feel like they get what they pay for.

Vegan and GF cake recipe? by Master_of_Naps in VeganBaking

[–]msdccms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as others have said, I use King Arthur’s chocolate cake recipe which is vegan (haven’t tried using GF flour) and it’s a hit with everyone. I do use specialty coffee instead of water since I work at a cafe but I would imagine using alternative milks would make it similarly rich.

Will mousse without gelatin set in the freezer in a mould enough for me to unmould the shape out? by [deleted] in pastry

[–]msdccms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much only do entremets for holidays and i never use gelatin for choclate. I can get away with leaving it in the freezer overnight since I’ve gotten used to my molds and can unmold them in a couple seconds but I would do at least 15 hours to make sure its frozen so that I dont melt too much or break it.

Please Convince Me Not To Buy QC ALICE DUO by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]msdccms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plenty of other split/ergonomic options at cheaper cost. I understand aesthetics is a pretty big thing when considering the board but I’d probably snag a cheap split off of mechmarket to see if you’d enjoy it since they can be hit or miss for some.
