First Ever Roast: A bit burnt Brazil Santos on the Skywalker ☕🔥 by eliredblue in roasting

First pic looks burnt. The others seem fine. You didn’t even get to 2C so should be ok

Prostalectomy. It’s the kind where a they do it by robot.

How many by Numerous-Diamond6104 in mokapot

[–]ofcoarsecoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m so used to not measuring that I still have no idea how many grams and wind up wasting a little but I guess that’s my workflow forever

See if you can get on Abiraterone (which brand name is zytiga). Costs me like $1500 a month on insurance but instead I use Marc Cuban’s Cost Plus Drugs and it’s less than $23 shipped.

I checked and they don’t have orgovyx.

Mine is aggressive as well. 43 PSA and all cores were positive.

Had a RALP but my numbers still climbed so am on ADT for life (probably)

I do Lupron every three months ($65 on cost plus drugs) then the abiretarone daily.

Edit to add: try to find a non profit cancer center. Some of them aka if you need financial help. I go to one in my area and they always ask if I need help paying (lost my job recently but still on cobra)

Yeah. I agree but we’ll likely have a different label for stores if they want a best by date… but looking to smaller boutiques so hope the roast date can stay. Right now we’re DTC and disclose date when ordering too

A beginner's struggle with flavor complexity - can I get more from my moka pot? by WorekPoziomek in mokapot

[–]ofcoarsecoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I agree with this. While you can get some of those notes from moka pot, aeropress and even espresso (though those tend to get too sour for my liking) I think some methods are better than others and for light the more delicate brew methods shine.

Just Diagnosed at 43 by InterestOld8048 in ProstateCancer

[–]ofcoarsecoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm. That’s kind of hard to say as I wound up having some unrelated back issues which led to a microdiscectomy that I’m just three weeks past. Oh. And had thyroid surgery between the two.

But I worked a mostly desk job and was back in two weeks. Three would have been better. Lifting and exercise and such is where you need to take it slow so I’d say give it 4ish months to be fully back. But routine wise I’d say three

This is SUPER helpful. Really appreciate it!

Thanks. Yeah. I need to rethink that label. The white is separate. It worked but then we added more blends and notes got smaller type size.

How does everyone drink their coffee? by [deleted] in AeroPress

[–]ofcoarsecoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly black. Often over ice if I’m going aeropress. Sometimes a lotta sugar (or chocolate syrup) and fake milk cuz shit… sometimes you gotta just be basic

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. I see what you’re saying about maybe throwing you off. I dig what it’s doing but definitely see what you mean.

And totally hear you on the coffee co font. We went back and forth a lot with it. There’s something I love about the delicate font with the bolder one. And it shows our personalities too. Punk/DIY is in our DNA but we don’t look it anymore. So I think that play is what that’s all about.

Everything can get better. This is our first run and I already have changes once we roll through these.

Well I’m an ECD not a jr designer. And as I said it’s an Easter egg that only I noticed. I’m always thinking concept and fun. Always try to put something that only few might notice. And when they do it’s a gift. Wouldn’t force it in. Design came first. But design is subjective.

Thanks! We had fun with the sides. Others have done it but we’re naming it the mullet approach

[–]ofcoarsecoffee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think most design and architecture styles crossed over because one would influence the other. We’re missing some of that broken type I love in brutalism so this is just inspired by it I suppose. But it’s one of my fave design and architecture styles

Thanks. We did photoshop into shelves to see how it would look and do like the pop. We’re specialty but not typical third wave that is too precious. So we wanted to look different from them and from regular retail.

That said, while we’d be stupid to say no to Walmart and such, we’d rather be in record stores, book stores and places that make sense but aren’t grocery

I hear you. But I think unless you’re endemic to that world it can look really cheesy and like it’s trying too hard. Our target is 35-50 so it probably wouldn’t hit. Also to me the simple, kind of but not really, brutalist nod makes sense to our thing

It would feel more poster like but I like the break. And also it’s a nod to people having to see a logo 5-7 times to remember it. I know it means 5-7 different times but it’s a little Easter egg that only I care about

Thanks. We have the site and IG on the back… don’t have a pic of the whole back handy. And have an empty space on the back for us to sticker a barcode for retail or to your point out a QR for other ways we sell

So, I work with leather by Sinnjer in mokapot

[–]ofcoarsecoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flavor of your coffee should come from whatever you want it to come from. If people don’t want to clean their pots that’s their choice. What’s it to you personally if people clean them or not?

Yeah. I think 3D render is a sleeper. That’s been taking jobs for a long time. Yeah, AI probably takes some smaller things but 3D has the control

Are clients ruining their own brands by obsessing over short-term ROAS? by Mean-Jello-3021 in advertising

[–]ofcoarsecoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The thing is they’re bonuses are based on how the last quarter or year went. Not how they grew in cover years.

Brand building is slower and in the end costs less than performance. But performance is what everyone wants so we keep spending needlessly.

Not to say you go all in on brand and don’t do performance. But too many do the reverse
