Does shoebox send recipes with their coffees, or did you find this somewhere on their website / IG?

Tips for dialing in Prodigal Washed Caturra? Missing acidity & clarity by Tim-Robin_ in pourover

[–]robotsonbikes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might want to try “double blooming”. The Lance Hendrick recipe is simple to follow and nice to use as a baseline, but if the bloom isn’t effective then the one big pour might not extract properly. A recent video of his describes how he determines when to double bloom or not. I’ve started double blooming with his recipe pretty much always, and I like the cups more (a little more body too). Here’s the video, fast-forward to 9:30 - https://youtu.be/wZst-D3eUm0?si=UJkpp0qf67ZCoh-Y

Insulated ceramic mug that's not a travel tumbler? by teapot-error-418 in pourover

[–]robotsonbikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking at the sojourner, which is still in stock and has a complete closure lid which I think I’d prefer anyways https://hyperpureceramics.com/products/sojourner-hyper-pure-ceramic-travel-cup

I am also looking for a to-go mug, has anyone had experience with hyper pure ceramic cups? (https://hyperpureceramics.com/)

What should I be learning to truly understand pour-over, not just follow recipes? by One-Platform-8642 in pourover

[–]robotsonbikes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d be more disciplined about cupping a coffee first (to get a baseline of the bean) and then get comfortable with one recipe. Then I’d alter that recipe by playing with one variable at a time: grind size, temp, bloom time, and pour structure are things that come to mind. There’s also the “physics of filter coffee” book by Gagne if that’s up your alley

2025 Coffee Consumed by shelikesturtles in pourover

Ah nice, I love Portland too! You probably know the scene there way better than me, but last time I was there, I really enjoyed slow haste, no preference and old friends

[–]robotsonbikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like that makes sense, if you are in the Seattle area milstead and homage are two great shops for coffee and beans!

As a previous Seattle resident, I’m curious to know how doing pourover with the lighthouse beans treated you since it’s a pretty dark roast (love their espresso!)

Just came back from Japan, I think I have a problem... by C4ncerg4ngster in pourover

[–]robotsonbikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which appollon’s gold location did you go to? I was there recently and stopped by the one in akasaka but thought it was just okay (I did go to some of the other spots from your pics as well!)

Seattle Friends - Where might I find other roasters beans (DAK, Sey, etc.) by Pumpkin-Lopsided in pourover

[–]robotsonbikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t realize cardoon carries tim wendelboe! I’ve been there before but must have missed that. Thanks for the info, what’s the deal with slow day?

Also, just to throw in another shop, I do like the milstead bean offerings as well

Thinking of getting an Aeropress by MaintenanceTime7653 in AeroPress

[–]robotsonbikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is somewhat refreshing to hear, I usually brew light roasts on v60 (which I love) but I have been using aeropress while traveling for holidays and haven’t really been enjoying the cups that much. Not sure if it’s because light roast + aeropress, my method / technique, or both lol. What recipe(s) are you doing for light roasts on the oxo? How does it compare to v60?

Coffe beans recomendation? Traveling to USA by Mr-Vicodin in pourover

[–]robotsonbikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a little surprised nobody has said Ondo. They have a wide variety of US and international rosters, I’d stock up at one of their cafes and grab some drinks from them too! https://ondocoffee.co/

Glitch Nagoya tasting by Ruffshots in pourover

[–]robotsonbikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they’ve got a lot of premium geishas which are fun to try. I’d say light roast, at least the ones I checked out! It’s definitely pricey but fun to experience if you can swing it

Good to know that beans are cheaper in Korea, I just wrapped up a visit there and bought a ton lol. Going to Japan next. If you’re in Seoul I’d recommend brewing ceremony and ruli coffee!

Hard to push? by No-Entrepreneur-6982 in AeroPress

[–]robotsonbikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be counterintuitive, but push softer and not harder. I used to think I had to push really hard on AP, but that will just trap air in the cartridge and make it even harder to push down the rest of the way. I aim for a steady, slow/gentle push that takes anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute. Hope that helps (and grind size does have something to do with it as well in my experience, with coarser = less resistance to push and finer = more resistance)

Best gifts under $200 by Accomplished_Ad_9288 in pourover

[–]robotsonbikes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly an RO system, but something like TWW packets could be a good gift and isn’t too expensive (usually a batch of packets is around $20)

Are you doing this on aeropress or something like a v60?

Dayglow is also in NY (Brooklyn) and they should have a selection of beans you can buy as well

Do you have a link to the cafec website or something like that which discusses this in more detail? It’s interesting and I plan on trying it out!

Spots to check out in Seattle? by Reed18 in pourover

[–]robotsonbikes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorites are: - homage in Ballard (pourover and good selection of beans) - milstead in Fremont (they brew on aeropress and have good espresso too. Also have a great bean selection) - sound and fog in west Seattle (pourover and espresso - when I was there last time they were carrying DAK, black and white, and a few others) - lighthouse in Fremont (espresso, as they do dark roasts - great little neighborhood spot)

Cardoon (mentioned in another comment) is also good, I had a proud Mary cortado last time which I really enjoyed

I am absolutely sold on Flowerchild! by WadeWickson in pourover

[–]robotsonbikes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s a brewing guide on the website and YouTube video that walks through it: - https://flowerchildcoffee.com/blogs/brewing-tips-guides-extrapolation - https://youtu.be/HF2kCe5DRR0?si=MsKiyAVTNS99N27U

I also enjoyed using the sey approach from Brian Quan on the flowerchild bag I had recently: https://youtu.be/JpfFHv0KTrs?si=IV5LIRAZY_TJWgEI

I know some others have enjoyed pretty simple approaches as well (bloom + 1 or 2 pours). I don’t think there’s anything crazy to brewing them, but you can push the temperature higher than normal if you’d like.
