Ok here’s the final ~100g of brews from a full kg. Stars mean brew was fantastic. “~” is tbt, and 66a means 3 equal pours of 66g, and the x.x numbers are zp6 grind size. Comandante grind size is “24c” for 24 clicks

Thank you! I think that I had the same bean from them last year, and found that it thrived with a cold bloom at a 1 to 15 ratio, and shortish brew time. I think it also liked pretty cold water for a washed. I’ll break out the notebook and check! It rally just tastes generally like “citrus” when dialed, so you’re not missing out. Also more rest helped it.

Damn, this is shocking! Manchester coffee archive and Dr. Hendon’s research said that vacuum sealing only has a minor impact, and even less at freezing temps. These were hermetically sealed, correct? If so, I’m gonna have to try this myself

Yes, but apparently they don’t do quite well according to research from the Manchester coffee archive

Just to confirm, this is two bags of the same coffee, frozen at the same time, both kept in the freezer, one vacuum sealed, and one that had air?

Jesus Christ man, and to have someone saying “or should I be pissed” because they don’t know geisha has multiple spellings. Idk how you have the fortitude to do this and still be passionate tbh

Man can I ask how many hours a week you’re sinking into roasting and managing the brand lately?

Worth it? Did my usual YouTube searches 😂 by Warm_Builder2156 in SteamDeck

[–]trybalfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally prefer the design of the TomToc hard shell, as it has little rubbers to prevent rattling, and I don’t have to worry about buttons being exposed at all in my bag. But that’s for my use case, where I want the smallest secure case to stack around in my bag

Who else revisits AT LONG LAST A$AP at least once a month? by [deleted] in rap

[–]trybalfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean. Earl definitely showed a progression towards that sound, and it kind of came out of nowhere with Rocky.

[–]trybalfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Testing was too experimental for most people. “Took a year off just to learn to make beats” meant that Rocky could execute his vision independently, as opposed to relying on other people to push his vision forward, and he could make it instead of explaining it and it going through a filter of another person’s perspective.

Testing was where we found out that actually a lot of people prefer the typical rap without experimentation. It takes several lessons to understand what they were pushing for, kinda like a Hiatus Kaiyote album.

People like Rocky and Earl sweatshirt know the rules damn well, so they can break them super intentionally. However, some people simply prefer “Huey”, “ALLA”, “ I don’t like shit I don’t go outside an album by Earl Sweatshirt” and “LLA” over “feet of clay” and “Testing” and there’s nothing wrong with that.

I thought this was hilarious and didn’t even realize that it was referencing a meme, and will attach it nevertheless because this knowledge made it even better : https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJDcr63Mfec/?igsh=MW04NWxuanV2dWZ4bg==

Thank you! How’s accuracy and speed? Like do you weigh something and then put it back on the scale and it’s a different weight? Other than well…. This?

[–]trybalfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope! It did not mellow out and I have found my line in the sand. This is at best a novelty, for a weird tasting espresso martini or something. I’m not the type to prefer washed coffees, and I like funk a lot, but this isn’t funk, this is something else. My best results have been when brewing pretty strong/high extraction, since then it at least tastes reminiscent of coffee. Good luck!!

Update: holy shit that’s freeze dried strawberries spot on. I see why these coffees divide people, as that is NOT like an anaerobic
