I've got the Esp and the bellow attachment. I have never gone above 28 expect for cold brew. I'm typically just sitting at 20 to 22 for pour over and aeropress. Frenchpress is around 27 for me.

Not really, it's just the time it takes for me to get the paper filter setup and screwed on. I then flip and press. Maybe ten or 15 seconds.

I'm using unsweetened Almond Milk currently. My beans are a Columbian lite roast that I home roast.

I came up with this as a way to enjoy some coffee at night actually, but have been enjoying it in the morning.

I enjoyed the Legend series by Marie Lu, but I'm not sure about her new book. Is anyone else looking to read or has finished it?

what could possibly happen that the mayor of NYC is going to do that causes issues for the rest of America? I'm at a total loss to why the federal government is concerned about. Someone please help me understand as I haven't been following this topic too closely.

I ordered a bag of Lavazza Super Crema for playing with my espresso machine, but wanted to try it out in the V60 for kicks.

Set the ESP to 24 and ground 17g. Brewed with 320ml of water. Coming from mostly light roasts, this taste a bit on the dark side for me, but overall a good balanced cup of coffee. I may go corser on the next brew, maybe 26.

I did 50ml for bloom (30 seconds) Add 70ml wait ten seconds Add 100ml wait ten seconds Add final 100ml

Happy brewing.

If our kids aren't even safe at school then why the hell do we care so much about air travel?

Can we just move all school to inside airports?

YesPlz beans (www.yesplz.coffee)

Trying out their blend and just opened my first bag. It's their 295 mix. I like it, lite and easy to drink It tastes like coffee. Did an aeropress brew and will try V60 next time. I will say the beans gave off an interesting smell that made me nervous about how it would come out, but all is good.

I never heard of this place, but it was recommended in another post. I'll likely keep the subscription, at least for another few bags to see how it goes.

I'm doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It's a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I'm happy.

I haven't had too many Kenya coffees, but if you have a whole foods nearby this one tastes good to me.

Single Origin Kenya

Stumptown Coffee Videos (www.youtube.com)

I've been watching a bunch of the stumptown coffee brewing videos on YouTube. They are another great starting point for all of us. I tried their V60 and aeropress recipes and the coffee came out good. It tastes like coffee. Lol

Anyway wanted to share in case someone hasn't seen them. Enjoy

My Google TV picked up the latest versions of the jellyfin app and now a few of my 4k movies are no longer working as expected. I'm getting pauses and it looks almost like a buffering issue. I checked with my NAS and see network to the TV to be around 9MB/s which is fine for a wired connection. I used to be on wifi, but started having the same issue there after the update so I loved to a wired connection. Some 4k movies are good over wired, but some are in buffering hell.

Am I alone with this issue ? Idk. I ordered a 1gb USB adapter for the tv as a last attempt to validate it isn't the network connection. Will be here this weekend and will update with the results from that.


Got to tv on GB ethernet and I see it pulling the file at around 50MB/s which is great, but no difference. Maybe I did something wrong on the encode... Not sure. Let me try a re-encode of the movie... Idk

Hario Drip Kettle Air (www.hario-usa.com)

I recently picked up a V60 to take a stab at pour over at home. I was getting ok drinks out, but my pour control was all over the place. It was too fast and not very accurate as I was using my existing hot water kettle.

I hate replacing things that work and I didn't want to get a new kettle just for coffee making. I started looking for some small kettle options where I can put my hot water on and pour out. A lot of the products in this category are either too affordable where the handles come off or too costly. I was hesitant to get the Hario Air due to Hoffman's review, but it really seemed to check all my boxes.

After making a few cups, it is amazing. I can't get as close to the grinds as a normal kettle, but I'm not to far. Control is great, but the neck thickness causes me to bump the V60 sometimes, need more practice. At any rate, I love this and it's easy to store in the cabinet when not in use.

TLDR: Great product if you have an existing hot water kettle you don't want to replace just to make pour over.

Yes, AV1 is the next big deal. You can compress the hell out of the video and it still looks near original. I've re-encode some of my locally ripped movies for fun to see how it looks and it's really impressive.

[-] CCMan1701A@startrek.website 34 points 2 years ago

Yeah, if the streaming providers ever switch over to AV1 that would be an interesting comparison.

I was sitting in my car the other day and was able to tilt my phone just right under the sunlight to see the two sensors under the screen. This is a pixel 7. I noticed that the finger print sensor was crooked while the top sensor was pretty straight. It got me thinking for all the people with issues against the finger print sensor, I wonder if theirs is more mis aligned, or maybe this is unrelated.

I check the photos on iFixit and the sensor looks straight there, but it's getting the back. Anyway, would be interesting if others could take a look at their sensor to see if this is a common thing.

Took a photo with my flashlight and modified it on Snapseed to make it easier to see. It is possible this is normal, but never know.
