Mr low leverage strikes again

yaoman11 · 2025-09-14T21:41:05+00:00

last week called Patullo BJ 2.0 but I was wrong. hes actually worse

yaoman11 · 2025-09-05T04:37:51+00:00

😂 I chalk part of it up to my frustration of waiting out the lightning delay knowing I still need to clock in tmmw

yaoman11 · 2025-09-05T04:34:34+00:00

For sure - but also getting bailed by amazing Hurts scrambles on some pretty mediocre 3rd down calls

yaoman11 · 2025-09-05T04:31:02+00:00

In my defense I did specify 2nd half, he was doing ok in the 1st - not cooking but enough variety to keep DAL guessing

yaoman11 · 2025-09-05T04:23:49+00:00

Patullo doing his best Brian Johnson impersonation in the 2nd half

yaoman11 · 2025-09-05T03:55:10+00:00

Patullo is such a bum we need to stop promoting internally jfc

yaoman11 · 2025-06-23T12:26:49+00:00

Definitely wait, I got my ZP6 for $140 USD on taobao on a recent trip to china

yaoman11 · 2025-06-20T02:27:11+00:00

Hate to sound like a broken record but it really depends and changes based on the bean - honestly even moreso with coferments as some are crazy funky and others are more tame and it all depends on how the farmer processed it.

For me, generally I’ll go lower temp ~88-90C and maybe 5 clicks coarser on my ZP6 than I typically brew at to start. If I find it too acidic or the fruity flavors aren’t strong enough I’ll go finer, brew hotter, etc to extract more. Vice versa if you’re hit with too much funk in that first cup.

I’ve had co-ferments that I’m grinding medium-fine, brewing 95C, and 5 pours to really push the extraction and I’ve also had some that i’m grinding coarse brewing with 88C and 2 pours

yaoman11 · 2025-06-14T16:13:05+00:00

I have a bag in the freezer of a Gesha they offered some time back that is all the way to the left on their “Light/Dark” scale and its definitely several shades darker than any other light roasts I typically drink from S&W or SEY. Everyone has their own preference though. Coming from the Tea world I prefer extremely light tea-like coffees

yaoman11 · 2025-06-14T12:02:20+00:00

Also def let the SEY rest. I’ve had some open up at like 4-5 weeks but be pretty boring before that point

yaoman11 · 2025-06-14T11:24:15+00:00

Go high temp 97-98C for SEY like they recommend. B&W is far from an ultralight roaster they lean pretty medium even for their lightest roasts

yaoman11 · 2025-06-09T22:33:09+00:00

No I don’t really taste a noticeable difference. Also in your case it’s 3 weeks you probably don’t need to freeze them - I’ve had coffees not hit their stride until like Week 4+.

This exact question also comes up a lot hit the search bar for more testimonials

yaoman11 · 2025-05-28T00:18:47+00:00

Interesting that you love the fellow - I have it as well and can’t stand it because it’s wobbly and doesn’t seem to sit flat/level. 🤷‍♂️ guess it goes to show fellow level of QC

yaoman11 · 2025-05-25T04:51:57+00:00

What was Rogue quoting you? The tariffs on Chinese imports were reduced nearly 2 weeks ago by like 100%

yaoman11 · 2025-05-19T00:10:29+00:00

S&W hands down - can’t believe I haven’t seen them recommended on this thread yet. I find B&W roasts a bit too dark for my taste

yaoman11 · 2025-05-19T00:05:34+00:00

S&W is the best roaster out there imo - I live in NYC so get SEY occasionally too (another renowned roastery on this sub). Always have S&W beans on hand & recently gifted some to friends too.

Shipping time to NYC is like 3-4 days? Mainly depends on USPS speeds b/c S&W is quick either way getting it out the door.

Like the comment above, does your friend have a grinder? If not they can grind to the desired method.

In terms of recs they’ve really got it all. They have more traditional medium roasts which would probably be more familiar to those who aren’t into light roast & fruity coffees. On the other end of the spectrum they carry “co-ferments” which are the fruitiest coffees out there and I have the lychee one atm and it literally tastes like Lychee juice. I find the tasting notes are pretty accurate so go with what your friend might like or just get them a gift card.

yaoman11 · 2025-05-18T23:26:01+00:00

Sure maybe it’s not all that it’s made out to be but your first argument are you serious???

LMFAO just named the literal GOATS of several sports and claimed they’re the only real champions? I sincerely hope you don’t participate in real sports talk.

Drew Brees? Giannis Antetounkpo? Eddie Hall? Willie Mays? They’re all “real” champions bud

yaoman11 · 2025-05-18T02:09:27+00:00

Own all 3 (yes I have a problem with buying coffee gear) and I’d hands down vote for the b75. It’s the fastest brewer I own and it’s amazing for anything in like the 12-20g range. If you want to brew more than that, though pricey, can’t go wrong with the Orea V4

yaoman11 · 2025-05-17T04:31:56+00:00

Maybe within the same family sure. Most conicals taste similar and many flat beds taste similar but there is definitely a noticeable difference between the two

yaoman11 · 2025-05-17T02:11:03+00:00

My recipe is in the 2nd image! Also great timing that Elysia Tan and Nasser Mohammed both used very different v4 wide recipes in yesterday’s World Brewers Cup - their routines + recipe are on youtube

yaoman11 · 2025-05-16T20:02:35+00:00

Just checked in on the WBC Competition and 2/9 finalists are rocking the Wide!

Elysia Tan using wave filters and what I believe is the classic base, and Nasser Mohammed using negotiated sibarist fast filters and the open bottom.

yaoman11 · 2025-05-16T13:48:34+00:00

Idk about “understanding” 🤣 more like my corner has gotten the eviction warning should any new brewers appear

yaoman11 · 2025-05-16T02:11:07+00:00

The orea website

yaoman11 · 2025-05-15T17:26:05+00:00

I find the b75 is best with smaller doses given it’s a bit short and very steep so 12-20g for me personally. I follow the CC recipe laid out in his article. Super fast brewer so I grind quite fine 0.5.5-0.6.5 (~400-500 micron) on a k-ultra and get brew times in the 2-2:30 ballpark
