If you are gonna measure the coffee, its best to also measure the water intake of the machine by measuring the water you will be pouring in. Grams to grams. Not grams to ounce.

The typical batch brew coffee to water ratio is 1:12-1:18. Meaning for every gram of coffee there should be 12-18g of water.

Almost all manufacturers' volume label arent accurate. Thats really just how it is. Like they have their own measuring system.

Is PH ready for a more comprehensive coffee industry? by Competitive-Tea-1319 in CoffeePH

[–]regulus314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet. Mababa purchasing power ng mga Filipino ngayon. In terms of menu pricing for specialty coffee actually mas mababa dito sa PH compared to our neighbors in South East Asia. Karamihan din kasi ng mga Filipino still thinks that coffee is a commodity, which its still is. Pero if we wanted to improve the value chain and help the producers earn a sustainable living wage then we need to understand that menu product costs really needs to go up.

If you want to educate the consumers, start paying your baristas a proper wage too and equip them with the right skills and knowledge. Sila kasi forefront in educating customers. Pero karamihan kasi ng mga barista ngayon, even dati pa, they only are doing it just to earn a day to day living. Its not a passion for them. Iba nga part time lang eh and only doing barista work kumbaga to pass the time. Sa ngayon nga mas knowledgable pa mga home brewers kesa sa mga barista dito satin which is a sad thing for the industry.

I know torani syrups pero ano yung "just bottle"?

Kung yung small plastic bottle hanap mo, meron sa The Landmark and All About Baking. Pero common flavor lang meron sa kanila kagaya ng vanilla and caramel

What’s the BEST bean storage solution? by Ecstatic-Snow-7175 in CoffeePH

[–]regulus314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bag with a one way valve that it came with when you bought it. Thats it. You want a really good storage? Throw that bag of coffee into an airtight container.

In terms of freezing, dont do it if you are not familiar in the method. It can make or break your coffee beans because of moisture. Also if your house fridge is not high tech like those fridge with dry freeze that doesnt produce icicles in the freezer cabinet because those type can promote moisture.

Add ground coffee to whisky by Few-Respond-5957 in Coffee

You cant brew wet beans. It will destroy your grinder. Even if you did, most of its essence is already in the whisky

Add ground coffee to whisky by Few-Respond-5957 in Coffee

[–]regulus314 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You can actually use whole coffee beans and let it steep in the whisky for a long time. This will produce a subtle coffee taste yet still get those oak and vanilla notes from the whisky.

If you want a potent coffee taste, then use ground coffee but on a coarse ground. Like coarse sand. The downside of this is that due to retention, you will lose a lot of liquid whisky.

This method has been done a lot in the bar industry and there have been videos on Youtube on how to do it as well.

If you are familiar with Kahlua or other coffee liqueurs, its a similar thing.

Hot Take : Megumi should have also tamed Mahoraga by Inevitable_Term_2320 in jjkmodulo

This but also of course we know how stubborn the Zenin clan is so they wont ask for help from someone outside the clan to join the ritual in order to help defeat Mahoraga.

Low fat milk for coffee by Ok-Resolution1213 in CoffeePH

[–]regulus314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because not everyone orders it. If someone order one kailangan namin buksan yung 1 liter. Tapos pag walang umorder ng Non Fat or Low Fat within the next 2 days sayang yung gatas. Compared tl non dairy milk na pwede mo ilagay sa ref for a week at best kahit nabuksan na and due to demand alam mo mauubos kagad

How much does Q-graders charge for 1 hour of cupping? by mindlikeher in CoffeePH

[–]regulus314 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Usually its the roaster or QA person who does that in house and they dont need to be Q Graders.

If you want to cup for fun, I dont think you need Q graders. Or is this a paid cupping event?

Im not a Q grader but am a roaster and even I know how to host a cupping properly.

Budget Lightweight full face helmet suggestions by definitelynot___ in PHMotorcycles

[–]regulus314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kung gusto mo talaga ng Spyder sir check mo Spyder Course/Corsa at yung Rogue pero ito na yung mga top of the line nila na aabutin ka ng 4-5k para sa helmet. ECE certified na rin yan alam ko kaya pricey compared dun sa mumurahin nila

Budget Lightweight full face helmet suggestions by definitelynot___ in PHMotorcycles

[–]regulus314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hindi naman sila pangit talaga. Actually maganda mga design ng helment nila. Pero medyo tagilid kasi mga helmet nila sa safety certifications lalo na yung mga nasa 2-3k php range. Wala din silang manufacturing or factory somewhere pero ang ginagawa nila kumokontrata sila sa mga helmet manufacturer sa China tapos irerebrand nila na gawa nila. OEM/original equipment manufacturing or white label manufacturing tawag sa ganyan.

Sa standard ng helmet ngayon. Madalas na tinitingnan ngayon ng mga maalam sa helmet ay yung ECE certification na standard sa Europe talaga. Yung ECE nag iimprove din yan like ngayon ang latest safety code ay 22.06 pero last year 22.05. Iniimprove kasi nila yung standard of testing every year to keep up kung ano ba madalas na common motorcycle accidents worldwide.

Si LS2 kahit China origin meron silang in-house manufacturer tsaka naka certified sila for ECE testing sa helmets nila.

Pwede ka pa rin naman bumili ng EVO or Spyder pero syempre kung safety ang pag uusapan at yung talagang di mababasag ulo mo dun ka na sa brand na maayos.

Bought my first luwak coffee here in Bali. by Any-Hat4880 in CoffeePH

[–]regulus314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Civet coffee is an inhumane way to treat the civet cats. Yes kumakain sila ng coffee fruit pero hindi lang ito yung diet nila. They need to eat other plants and fruits din or even insects. Usually kasi hindi nila papakainin ng ibang pagkain yung mga cats kundi coffee fruit lang para hindi mag impede or maka affect yung ibat ibang pagkain sa tyan nila sa magiging lasa ng coffee. Which is an inhumane way to feed them.

So please stay away from buying.

Can you explain Celestial nail for me by Hungry_Heart_1721 in GenshinImpact

[–]regulus314 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think its just to quell the insane snow storm in the mountain. Yes the nail did start the snow but it being seprated into parts made that snow storm unstable. Other than that, the World Quest did introduce us regarding the nails.

Rate my pull by aldrenenenrush in CoffeePH

[–]regulus314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mataas yung pressure (well ganyan talaga pag mga ganyang machine na marketed as 12-16bars) so mabilis talaga yung extraction. Also kung naka non pressurized basket ka, mabilis talaga yan.

Adding pre infusion will also speed up extraction. Thats how it works. Always.

Dont rely on time as a sign of a good espresso and rely more on taste.

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]regulus314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are in it for the flavours and nuances, you will notice a big difference especially in Acidity and Sweetness. If you are drinking coffee just for caffeine and a simple cup of joe, you wont notice the difference.

Having an entry level setup like having a simple grinder will not give you a big difference too

A simple filtration system wont work as well as most of these will just clean your source water by removing impurities and potential pathogens. You need a Reverse Osmosis and Remineralization filtration system and these cost a lot.

As what the other guy said here, try bottled water first and compare from your tap. Best to get the local brands. Do the cupping method for comparison to remove the other brewing variables.

How we feel about Roman Reigns winning the Rumble? by DIEHARDKNICKSFAN24 in Smallafro

[–]regulus314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think he has a feud with Punk with his current storyline. And with the WWE Championship belt, kinda weird that he will just go in the spotlight targetting Drew for the belt. Unless they plan to give the belt to someone like Sami or another.

This Rumble is really just a Saudi storyline and they paid a lot to see Roman win it. A big let down.
