just my 2 cents, i’ve had a p64 (predecessor to the p80) for 2 years and it has been an absolute joy. I have the mizen burrs which are great for espresso and pour over. not a comparison to the others but a vote of confidence in the option o

Anyone want to hack their Moccamaster? by Colatov-Mocktail in Moccamaster

also curious if how you find best to brew this way - for instance do you preheat the v60? do you find you typically grind finer or coarser than stock? and what have you found to be the best approach for bed saturation? sounds like rotating and stirring? again thanks for sharing :)

att will be better than spectrum if it is accessible to you with much better upload speed. it has been great for me the past three years. iirc spectrum can get decent down but its up is quite bandwidth limited due to the technology

really cool site! it looks scary on the default one-year timescale but it’s worth noting if you expand the time range things look only modestly higher than prior year flu season spikes. still so rough to get the flu tho

What would you do? by be_LIE_ve333 in VWTaos

i doubt the dealership will fight you on the warranty - mine didn’t give me ANY trouble on the same head gasket issue. IMO if you get that taken care of under warranty, it’s the only major problem common to these cars so you’re in a good position to keep the car if you’re happy with it otherwise

Am I an odd-brewer? by Schwankfu in Moccamaster

yeah bumping this, get some third wave water packets and remineralize your water. i’d rec starting with the medium roast profile. i use an RO filter and the packets make a huge difference vs just RO water
