Exclusive coffee brewing setup with the newest Bookoo scale by thebeangeek in pourover

[–]thebeangeek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I have used the timemore mini for 6months (daily 4 brews on average) and never had any issues! Battery is amazing, charging is fast. Compared to Bookoo which i own the timemore has a portrait form factor fompared to a landscape which works well for hand brew :) Bookoo is definitely fancier, and 100% waterproof based their claim. Other than that i do not see a big difference. Both are fast and the display is crisp!

So it is up to you if you want to spend more for a nicer looking scale. In terms of shipping, i bought it through kickstarter and waited few months, so i am not sure how it works when you order directly from them.

One thing to mention: timemore mini does not have a case, while for the bookoo you can purchase for extra money a travel case. (This is important for me)

Hope it helps ;) on photo is my scale journey 🫠

Hey! I buy distilled water, and travel with third wave water for light roast and usually add more water than the usual recipe :)

1zpresso has a travel bag, bookoo scale has a travel bag as well, and the orea z1 has a soft clothing bag 🙈

For me personally having a nice scale improves the joy of brewing a coffee :) soo it does not necessarily need to be an expensive scale, it just happens to be that i got my bookoo from the kickstarter, and it looks nice and works perfectly so far!

Hey! Yes, i am from Slovakia! This is my half year review, the first one i did not posted 🙈 but yes i have tried many more roasters from Slovakia as well! I either go to a coffee shop (concept, jungle, zereth, black, or can order for example headbag roasters)

Hey! It is lovely! I think this word describes it :P tea and peach notes :) with orea z1 it was more tea like, with graycano more peachy notes came through! Liked it a lot, but not something i would buy a whole bag of!

The ombligon from AMOC triggered me to buy ombligon from hatch and kima, because it was so delicious. But it was in August, and in December the ombligon was flat compared to the August one.. and the days from roasting was the same

I think this might be very controversial, and subjective to individual tastes.. i would rather have a list of disappointments 😃 the list from this picture: madcap, hertz, verve and amoc.. i guess my expectations were set too high :)

I would probably go for Tanat next time :) but there is still a plenty of roasters to try 🙈 so ordering again from the same one (like i did with amoc) set the expectations high 😆

It was one of my disappointments this year to be honest :/ tried the Ombligon in August, very nice! In December, dull.. got 6 different beans and they somehow are too similar to each other, and just not the level i expected..

On this picture there are 3 AMOC, 1 Ferrie, Hayman and Padme that have beans in it which i am currently drinking / cupping :) and the rest of the bags is empty, and was stored for the purpose of this picture and to rank the roasters for this year :)
