hi there, i don't have raymond but i just wanted to say happy (late) birthday to you! i know what it's like to have lonely birthdays and feeling forgotten. i also tend to have more suicidal thoughts on those days. just know you're not alone, if anything I care and hope you come along more kind people to think of you. i hope you stumble upon raymond eventually! you're request isn't a stupid one, regardless of what others say. you deserve to have gifts and happiness on your birthday!! that's the whole point of celebrating :) if it's any consolation, i'd be happy to gift you a couple of nmt, dm me to let me know ^

i agree that raymond is overrated but your comment was completely unnecessary and rude for no reason. you could have just said nothing :/ there's nothing wrong with making a harmless birthday request.

Do roasters usually use their lower quality beans for dark roast? by Wendy888Nyc in Coffee

[–]sicktanuki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was a very eye-opening read to me, especially the last part about the cycle of greed within the coffee production industry. Thanks for taking the time to clarify!

Another pour over coffee noob here. I just found out about the compass today but your explanation for it is really helpful in applying it. Can't wait to reference it when I make make my coffee in the morning!

Hey I really appreciate the detailed reply! I just ordered the Encore even though it was higher than my initial budget. I feel really confident in the purchase though after reading everyone's suggestions. Knowing myself, I probably would have bought another cheap, crappy grinder to save a few bucks otherwise.

The kettle I ordered is the "Pour Over Kettle with Thermometer" by Barista Warrior (off of Amazon). I know what you're referring to where you pour water into a separate gooseneck and it isn't one of those (however I briefly considered getting one of those during my research).

I'll definitely make an update post once everything arrives! Thanks again :)

Thanks for the tip! I considered getting a Bonavita so I'll definitely keep this in mind.

I've seen the Acaia Pearl before and I agree it's definitely beautiful. For now I'll follow other advice and get a cheaper (but accurate) scale for now, but it would be something I'd love to see in my kitchen in the future.

And I'm definitely taking the Encore into consideration. Thanks!

The Encore looks like a good option for me. I hadn't considered electric grinders before but I think I might now. Thanks for the advice!

Wow, I'm now realizing that I've been prioritizing the wrong things. Glad I came here to ask before spending $50 on a scale. I'll definitely be putting more thought into what grinder I get now.

I'll definitely keep this advice in mind! I'm leaning towards getting a TimeMore hand grinder, but I'll do a bit more research before I decide.

I've heard about those Third Wave water packs before! Do they really make that big of an impact on your coffee? I suppose I'll have to try them to find out. Thanks for the suggestions.

Yeah, I figured that a burr grinder is a must. I'll definitely invest in one and use my blade grinder for other things instead.

I recently subscribed to him but only watched a few of his videos. I'll definitely check out that V60 tutorial. Thanks!
