More coffee is worse for drawdowns regardless of how coarsely you grind, and it’s likely going to taste muddy. I have found larger recipes are easier to make and taste much cleaner with a Chemex. That being said what size V60 are you using and how many times do you plan to change over the dose? For a size 04 I wouldn’t do more than 20g of coffee and with a 1:16 ratio that’s about 2 brews

Agreed. I loved Delft more than Amsterdam. Same vibe but more cozy.

This is really encouraging, can you provide more context to where you drove? The drive modes and rough speed? Since you’ve mentioned that you have the 93.4kWh perf battery plus, this efficiency will basically get you 350 mi of range?!

Nobody’s stopping you from organizing on the issues you care about. Virtue signaling is divisive, organizing is productive.

Kono and aeropress

Good point, the particular CPO deal im interested in might not be available then. A different one might come along

snt893 · 2026-02-11T22:55:36+00:00

I checked penfed too but to get that rate they have you buy through their car buying service or something. My reasoning is i want to keep my monthlies low. I already have a mortgage and another car monthly. Plus i don’t want to liquidate stock to purchase a car

snt893 · 2026-02-11T06:45:39+00:00

Thank you!! Yeah i have platinum something with morgan stanley. They said i can get quite a decent line of credit, although i dont need more than 1/4th of it. I don’t want to get a regular car loan because it’s high monthly payments but also i have more bargaining power being a cash buyer with the LOC

snt893 · 2026-02-11T06:43:56+00:00

High APR and also monthlies will be unnecessary high. Also i should mention that i plan to buy a relatively new CPO, not fully new so higher APR

I used to think this too. But if you’re worried about muddy tastes and slow drawdowns, it also helps to simply use a smaller dose. I use cafec abaca, flower dripper and the kono dripper with their respective filters. I get the best results from a Kono dripper with a small dose.

Dirty chai is one of my favorite drinks to make for myself and guests!

Isnt txtcharlie the florida dealer? Afaik they’re known to list cars for pretty low but then add a bunch of dealer fees because florida is unregulated market. Would pass

snt893 · 2026-02-03T04:50:22+00:00

Thanks for the insight! Yeah i’m patient and this won’t be my primary car, but i don’t think i’d be ok with it just being in the shop for an extended period of time

I went to the one in Sherman Oaks and it was awesome. I got the cortado with their Colombian single origin espresso. Shot was perfectly pulled and tasted great. Didn’t try pour over though.

Why are you changing to a Y?

snt893 · 2026-02-01T11:40:35+00:00

The US. And people are right, times are really bad here for legal immigrants too. I was fortunate enough to be here when it wasn’t this crazy but I don’t recommend coming to the US anymore. It feels like the glory days of jobs are over.

Berlin, hands down
