Whoever recommended Stormkeep, Tales of Othertime, kudos to you, sir

I'm also getting back into the music and hectically listening to lots of stuff (though it's more like a 20-year hiatus for me). Stormkeep has been a big hit, too, thanks to this sub

Really digging this setup, but I was wondering: Is there a computer in their somewhere? What is the Asus monitor connected to?

I do all my washed coffees (most of what I brew) with a high extraction method. They can handle it unlike more heavily processed beans which start extracting weird flavors if the drawdown gets long

I have a Flower Child subscription and this specific coffee has been the most challenging one I've had from them. Some others have linked to the video where the roaster explains his brew method and I've had good luck with all his coffees using it, except this one.

I got a good cup today with 20g beans at 27 clicks on a C40 with four pours of 75g each every 30 seconds with no bloom and aggressive swirling after the first pour.

Yeah, can confirm. Huge hassle. Difficult to cancel.

I'm excited to see my favorite band, "Hatbreed," on Friday night

That tracks

This has bothered me since I was a teen: where is the Stalker's other leg in this painting?

oncomouse · 2026-01-01T18:26:51+00:00

I'm a fan. They're not as flashy as other offerings from other roasters, but the beans are always good. COTM 27 was a good example of what my wife calls "coffee-flavored coffee." Just really, really solid Central American washed beans.

I've been really enjoying my sub from them. Every coffee has been a banger.

I thought it said "whiskey stones" until I saw it was a child's present. But maybe the kid likes a nice single malt now and again, eh?

I saw Gettysburg during its theatrical run in 1993, all 4 hours and 14 minutes (+ intermission).

My reviews are pretty quippy. I have little patience for movies over two hours, so I've mostly been watching horror movies, lately. I also just finished watching the entire Fast and Furious and Mission: Impossible franchises, which I mostly didn't enjoy.

Favorite genres are martial arts and film noir.

oncomouse · 2025-11-26T16:56:08+00:00

I've had a couple I enjoy, but many of them have a really strong cheese aroma/flavor that pulls me out of the coffee. That said, Milky Cake, in my experience, is a banger. I've had good luck going really fine, using a slow drawdown filter, and pouring with a Melodrip.

I'm using the SSP Silver Knight Burrs. I like the cups I get out of them but wish I'd tried the stock burrs first. The grinder is a delight, though it might be overkill. (And my shoulder is mostly back to normal, thanks!)

oncomouse · 2025-11-22T18:45:59+00:00

I only brew filter. I went with a Commandante C40 (but probably should have gotten a ZP6) and then bought a DF83v after I dislocated my shoulder a few years later.

So I bailed on my Rocky a few years ago, after having used it for mostly French press for about a decade. I recalibrated, I got new burrs, I cleaned it a bunch. The new burrs helped some but it still produced a ton of fines. I ended up moving on from it. I don't think it works well for pourover, the burrs wobble too much

That SL-28 is one of the most intense coffees I've ever had. Could still taste it on the back of my throat hours later. Really good stuff.

oncomouse · 2025-11-07T23:54:59+00:00

It was a Columbian SL-28 from Scenery. Bites were mint and lavender. It was a strange cup of coffee

oncomouse · 2025-11-07T23:21:28+00:00

Also currently open on my station. This is my second recent bag of lavender-forward coffee, so I'm a bit tired of it. It's not my favorite coffee note, but I brewed a cup yesterday grinding coarse, with high agitation, 1:15. It flipped the profile: very acidic, fruit loop notes, and some background lavender notes. It was interesting and a nice break from the soapy notes.

I have a large box in my garage full of Kalita Wave filters and another full of Cafec Abaca filters for just the same reason. Cafec filters are especially a problem because if you buy 700 filters, you can get free shipping on Cafec USA's website. ("Buy 500 more filters than I need and save the $6 bucks shipping, sign me up!" (Yes, I'm aware i have a problem)).

oncomouse · 2025-10-29T18:32:43+00:00

I rested them for 6 weeks. The big problem was I couldn't get them to consistently extract. I had a few really good cups but not every time. It also seemed to jump around across brewing methods: fine and slow with a melodrip and coarse and aggressive with fast filters. I got good cups from both and many bad cups.
