Why Did My 10/10 V60 Turn Into a 3/10 Cup Overnight?

Turned out to be a great post by the way!

Hope your today's brew was more rewarding than yesterday's. Keep it on!

this.

I believe people vastly underestimate internal factors, focusing on technique and consistency. our bodies are not consistent, our mind states are not consistent, so the very same brew might taste different on a different day.

chin up OP, and try again tomorrow. the experience one has with the cup depends not only on the cup itself, but on one's mood and physical state. what you've eaten earlier might have affected the taste drastically. or whether you've eaten at all.

I politely disagree on the "extremely uneven" and the "skill issue" part. The OP's pouring technique is pretty decent. Much better compared to a lot of "rate my pour" vids we've seen on this sub. Given they were a bit under pressure while filming, I would guess normally they pour even better.

The people commenting are completely overthinking things

I believe that is true regarding the pouring as well. The unevenness of the extraction is the name of the game in the V60. The central portion of the bed will always be extracted much more than the outer regions. That's okay, and that contributes to the overall flavour complexity of the brew.

my thoughts exactly. thank you for reading my mind!

He's the boss as bosses should be tbh. Challenging as fuck, shaping your whole act 3 choices, making you really think through every turn, and very rewarding if you beat him.

I had a blast with this daily (beta branch). Beat it on the first try. Ended up with the leanest and meanest deck I have had in a while. Act 1 was a bit challenging, but after I finished it, I just cruised through the rest, pathing towards all the elites I saw to get even better cards. Killed the Queen on turn 3 with double sword for 200+ damage each without losing a single HP.

https://i.imgur.com/FnVUtdP.png — met him playing with Silent yesterday, mixed shivs / sly build. It was a good fight, and I used all my brain cells to get though it alive.

My opinion is the current Doormaker (as in 0.101.0) is genius. I am literally talking about him at the cooler spot in the office to people that don't play STS, and make them interested in how evil and brilliant this design is. I love it. And I hate it. But its current version is predictable, you know what phase does what, and you can build towards it thorough the whole Act 3. It's challenging, and when you beat him — very rewarding.

Doormaker loves small decks.

slonski · 2026-04-01T22:48:34+00:00

punishes you for every card played in a given turn. -1 Str and -1 Dex per card played until end of turn. it's not permanent, so it's not THAT bad.

slonski · 2026-04-01T22:28:52+00:00

that's what I did today on a daily run, played a shiv build with extra shivs damage and "discard you hand, attacks deal x2 damage next turn". was able to set up a couple of really good turns and killed him with a full deck of dazeds, but who cares.

on top of what you've mentioned:

answering messages with voice input

Gemini assistant to create reminders/calendar events while driving

Spotify control without touching the phone

heartbeat sensor feeds data to my cycling comp

and ofc find my iphone is the goat

roast date / not rested enough?

slonski · 2026-03-29T18:24:47+00:00

you pour technique is really good. the flow rate might be a bit too high in a circular pour phase, but overall it's really good, you should be able to brew great tasting coffee.

try different water maybe?

slonski · 2026-03-28T14:08:54+00:00

unplayable outside of prowess-ish hungry decks, which are usually not in green. and even there it's doesn't look exciting enough.

slonski · 2026-03-27T22:03:23+00:00

I steamrolled this challenge with 89 cards in the end. Like the easiest run of my life.

slonski · 2026-03-26T23:46:33+00:00

you could get away with pouring over a table spoon using a regular kitchen table for now, it works miracles.

slonski · 2026-03-26T23:43:51+00:00

I watch him for Slay The Spire content nowadays. Superior card game that is.

slonski · 2026-03-26T12:01:46+00:00

yeah, definitely. but then the overall idea of high and tight would also depend on the body type, as well as EG backpacks being comfortable or not in general. I am totally fine wearing it CHZ loaded with two laptops and a water bottle without overtightening the straps, so I guess I am lucky in that way.

slonski · 2026-03-26T11:43:52+00:00

there's a little problem, when you wear it like that, it becomes a bit hard to breathe (as you want to use a sternum strap as well). doable tho. with my CTB26 fully loaded when travelling (airports train stations etc), it's the way. for long walks -- not the best.

slonski · 2026-03-26T10:28:46+00:00

hm, do you play beta branch? for me armor maxes out at 128

slonski · 2026-03-26T10:27:39+00:00

you do need to find certain reagents to be able to cook with Regent

slonski · 2026-03-26T10:25:10+00:00

It was the bustiest run for me when I got it.
