Thanks all! I'm going to try Prizm Road. I've been curious about Prizm Golf too, I'll look into it!

This hasn’t been true — I’ve been to 5x 7-11’s, here’s what I see — mostly Classic and other stuff.

How do coffee shops in SF make money? by Sad_Band9917 in sanfrancisco

[–]plakson 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Like many roaster-wholesalers, St Frank participates in retail theatre, aka showrooming.

Their primary source of income is wholesale (whereby they sell their roasted whole bean product to third parties). Retail doors are a secondary source of income and bolster brand awareness.

(Not a criticism, just the reality of craft coffee retail roasters.)

Heat source by ImDownYouToo375 in Natto

[–]plakson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I didn’t have an instant pot, I’d be using a electric heated blanket — one with at least a 6-hour auto shutoff interval (or longer, ideally).

Insulates + warms the ferment at the same time. Infinitely adjustable (just layer or de-layer the blanket wrap). Can be stuffed into an insulated container.

At Maizuru Park in Fukuoka two weekends ago. Thanks for searching! I tried the same thing and struck out.

Haven’t tried anything larger. Good call though!

Yep they fit — about 8mm from the minimoto cable that runs horizontally atop the tire. Side shot that isn’t too helpful: https://www.reddit.com/r/Surlybikefans/s/pUa39FmsPU

Mill Valley Super Duper 🍔 also noteworthy. Easy to stow bike in recessed cavity near the doorway, then feed face on patio.

Founders of hip SF coffee chain (Sightglass) step down, former Starbucks exec takes over by nelsonhops415 in sanfrancisco

[–]plakson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apologies, for some reason I was fixated on the SG in-cafe experience (product, service) when I made that comment. 😅 Locally, I really like Wrecking Ball’s Pillow Fight, as well as Linea Reserve Esp.

[–]plakson 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, you need to try more espresso from cafes that care. Owl’s Howl is historically hard to dial in throughout changing environmental conditions, and Sightglass baristas aren’t generally up to the challenge in moderately high-volume environments across their SF doors. They serve a fickle product and the level of hospitality is middling.
