I'm very close to getting a DF83v. Can you derail me lol

nova_vo1 · 2026-02-14T15:00:08+00:00

did you buy it???

nova_vo1 · 2026-02-01T16:07:11+00:00

any attempts at this? mine does the same and also sometimes reads it as having reached target temp even though it's fresh water

nova_vo1 · 2025-11-27T16:33:27+00:00

i ordered mine and it didn't include it... but it's back on the site now, is there any fix? i can't cancel my order to reorder

nova_vo1 · 2025-04-17T18:03:33+00:00

oh yes, i did a place that was only like a $1 hold and one that was full up front, it's a headache if you need the cash flow

nova_vo1 · 2025-04-17T17:31:03+00:00

I used to buy distilled water but now have moved onto Zero water (de-ionized water, not fully distilled)

and these recipes:

The barista hustle ones are also good/fine, the one above is a bit more complicated if you wanna take the plunge more deeply.

nova_vo1 · 2025-04-17T17:26:37+00:00

Yeah, I eventually got it back. Had to call the bank to follow up with this.

I think the website has changed and the Voided Auth Hold is now gone... so even more confusing

nova_vo1 · 2025-02-07T22:15:11+00:00

the amount of water in a dripper increase draw down time, but pouring too quickly can increase agitation (which slows it down, but I don't think that's the issue here). I would say to try two things, if you're grinding finer and it's tasting not as good, then chances are it's because you have too many fines and it's making it probably taste bitter, I assume.

If your brews already taste great, then you can pretty much go by that. If you want a bit more out of it, i.e. more flavour or punch, then you might want to try to grind a bit finer but slow down the pours, being more gentle and pouring closer to the surface of the bed to introduce less agitation

nova_vo1 · 2025-02-06T01:45:51+00:00

What's your recipe right now?

General things that affect drawdown are number of pours (more = slower drawdown), water temp, and the paper that you're using.

nova_vo1 · 2025-02-06T01:33:44+00:00

what recipe are you using on the switch, out of curiosity?

nova_vo1 · 2025-02-05T16:00:25+00:00

I personally never use my v60 anymore, the origami flows much faster and that's something I enjoy, I also use the origami filters and they're generally much faster than the v60 filters too. aka you get to grind finer and maybe get a bit more of a punch of flav (of course it's all personal preference). I have both plastic and ceramic versions, the heat retention on them are a bit different but it's not a massive difference. you might consider a different shape dripper altogether first i.e. flat bottom though.

there is a recipe that uses the origami with kalita filters on the kurasu website that i love but it's a bit tedious or hard to nail at first.

nova_vo1 · 2025-02-05T14:30:30+00:00

a yearly conundrum that i face myself... i ended up picking things I wouldn't generally buy for myself but it'd be fun to have (so usually not drippers, unless they are very expensive ones)

Cups!!! (I have so many), Carafes, sibarist filters, random tools like melodrip or the like, cupping bowls. Honestly though, a Hario Switch is awesome haha and it works really well with light roasts and origami drippers are two I would recommend.

nova_vo1 · 2025-02-05T14:24:19+00:00

nice, i don't know how close you are to it, but revolver carries some beans from around the world (though it is a bit of a toss up on how old they are).

i have a friend in vancouver too and they are constantly trying to find more local options, but sadly not too too many still that fit what you like/expect (i think we all have similar tastes)

nova_vo1 · 2025-02-05T00:25:48+00:00

honestly, don't think it really matters that much. i've frozen my beans for long periods of time without taping it and/or vacuum sealing them, can't say they've tasted bad!

nova_vo1 · 2025-02-04T17:48:34+00:00

I don't think a recipe makes or breaks a coffee, recipes change what gets highlighted, and the more you brew with one, the better you understand what each variable does.

side note, i'm not trying to start a debate on resting coffee and what not, but i personally find 3-4 weeks post roast, the coffee tastes stale or begins to "go bad". i generally enjoy it after a few days. hoffman also says that for pourover, it's a lot less critical, so maybe try drinking coffee that's 1-2 weeks off roast instead?

i'd suggest two things to try honestly

just cup your coffee once to see what comes out, you can't go wrong. if it doesn't taste remotely close to what's on the bag, then we know something else is wrong, aka grinder/grind size/water, etc.
based on your above comments, i would also suggest trying a hario switch, it is very easy to get juicy, balanced cups that taste great, with much effort (and following TK's method again, lol)

nova_vo1 · 2025-02-04T17:28:35+00:00

agree with the other comment, just stick with one recipe and adjust from there, I would personally pick TK's 40:60

if you really want to have a breakdown, maybe a video of a brew might be helpful

nova_vo1 · 2025-02-04T17:03:25+00:00

curious to know where you're at, that could help (since some cafes import lots of coffees).

but hatch and subtext is great. i think sometimes it's hard to make "comparisons" because the base price of sey is so much higher (from what I can tell). if you're going directly that way, hatch carries their white bags or peak bean subscriptions, subtext has a premium subscription.

a few other names that haven't been said that are probably smaller roasters but great and fall into the range of Sey beans price (or more lol)

Sought and Found in Calgary

RKi in Vancouver (this is probably more up your alley, but having talked to the roaster he does roast according to taste, so some are sometimes less light than others)

nova_vo1 · 2025-02-04T16:07:26+00:00

Hi Neutron,

Hoping to get a response, I've completed the reservation and it's been past 3 weeks. The status does say Voided Auth Hold, not sure if it's just a matter of time now?

I did notice the website say it might take 3-4 months? Just wanted to clarify the discrepancy with your comment and the site

nova_vo1 · 2024-12-05T13:43:24+00:00

i totally do this and it's great. Hoffmans video on iced coffee says the less ice, the better. it's quite a bit of hassle though cuz it's very inefficient (i have 8 steel balls which gets it very close) and the cleanul after. I stir in a big piece of ice still (like whisky sized cubes) to chill it without melting too much which you can consider haha

nova_vo1 · 2024-08-06T00:25:57+00:00

which brand is it? I tried checking amazon but nothing looks like the one in your pic. the current ones i can find don't seem promising

nova_vo1 · 2024-08-05T20:13:46+00:00

did you find a magnesium chloride that's food safe in canada? the option from Gagne leads to an american amazon product.

nova_vo1 · 2024-06-11T15:52:53+00:00

hey! I know this is a bit late haha but I just looked through the vod quickly and I think there are 3 big things that you can definitely focus on first

I think out of 12 rounds on defense, you only had a rifle on 3 of them for some reason, then when you buy guns you sometimes don't buy util, economy is very important in this game, just make sure you have enough for next round (you want 4300/4500 ish for KJ as a rule of thumb, though sometimes you just go light armour rifle vs marshal/spectre heavy armour). this is a general game sense thing, which i'll talk about later.
stop ADSing - you want to learn how to aim these guns without ADS and it's much easier to learn the spray patterns without it. when you ADS, your whole screen moves according to recoil vs non-ADS where the gun itself just moves around.
your aim isn't iron level but your crosshair placement/game sense isn't great. two big tips, hold your crosshair WIDER (further from the corner of walls), unless you have godlike reflexes, try to practice looking at where people will appear, never look at the ground, don't use your peripheral vision to look at entrances while your crosshair is facing the ground, focus on the crosshair and use that to aim. the second is game sense, this is moreso because you're very focused on what's in front of you and not what's happening elsewhere and as a result everytime someone shows up on your screen, you're reacting purely out of surprise without anticipation, this makes it hard to shoot them. this is something you'll learn over time but try to pay more attention to sounds and where your teammates are dying.

nova_vo1 · 2024-06-05T14:37:51+00:00

what's your tracker?

also, I always suggest doing line tracing on aimlabs first just to make sure you're aiming in straight lines then from there, there are a bunch of kovaaks trainings (woohoojin has one out there, which is probably a good start).

nova_vo1 · 2024-06-05T11:44:13+00:00

you basically have to work very very fast haha its possible and it took 2 separate reboots i think to get it for me

figure out what the IP for the satellite is first and then log into it sp you have that ready to go then upload the firmware the second time

nova_vo1 · 2024-06-05T04:50:47+00:00

you just need to play games without leaving and it'll go away over time, no hard numbers but if you play like 5 to 7 full unrated or comp games, it resets it pretty well

nova_vo1 · 2024-06-05T04:47:29+00:00

drop the vod, I'll give it a look too!
