>>21976813The best cup I've ever had came out of a cats asshole. It was robust, very nutty, a bit oily, yet smooth.
>>21976860>he fell for the expensive meme
ethiopian beans is the IPA of the coffee space
>>21976870I didn't buy it, that's what's great. Honestly though it was a good cup of joe.

What % of water do you expect to lose in the grinds on your typical pour over?For example, you pour 418g of water on 28g of grinds and get yourself 349g of coffee, losing 69g of water (16.5%)
>>21977021doesn't make sense to calculate relative to the water, it's purely about the coffee mass (and the brew method, I think immersion brews absorb more water). if you change the water:coffee ratio from 1:15 to 1:18 your % will change while the volume of lost water will basically stay the same
Latenite sipping on that anaerobic wush>The result is a fruit bomb with lovely, crisp acidity and a dry, winey finish. It’s got a silky, smooth body, good balance and makes for a surprisingly clean cup despite the intense fermentation. My samples had a strawberry and banana smoothie vibe along with notes of juicy blackberry, lemonade and sugar cane. The finish reminds me of an expensive white wine - dry yet smooth, crisp but not tangy. Compared to our 120 hour Wush Wush from Guji, this one is a little less funky and wild, more refined but just as juicy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwrXt0wCep0
>>21977048Lean in the coffee general holllyyyy
>>21977052I keep that wush up on me. Definite>silky smooth body>strawberry and banana smoothie vibe>crisp finishNo blackberry or lemon at all but its very unrested and I'm also not happy with the roast. Very surprised how good it is though.(hours old reply, captcha fucking up for anyone else?)

I might need to swap to 500g bags. I'm taking too long to get through 1kg bags. I still have my entire hopper full of beans I bought back in february. I'd kept them in the freezer for a while.
>>21977286you should only buy bags in the size that you can go through in 1-2 weeks
>>21977288Nah it's fine there's not that much of a difference
Do any of you prefer using the Natural (brown) chemex paper filters? And if so, why?My understanding is that with the white filters (more processed) you minimize papery tastes. Is it all the same after you rinse with hot water? Does it become a purely aesthetic thing at that point?
>>21977288Do you store your beans in a special container if they're going to be consumed within the week, or is leaving them in the bag they came in fine?
>>21977335nta, but I am the "swap to 500g bags" guy. 1KG bags I put about 40% of the bean into the hopper with it's lid and the rest go in an airscape until I run out of the hopper.Checked the place I get my coffee from and they don't do 500g bags except preground. The 250g bags are twice as much per kg as the 1kg bags per kg and it's just one organic bag.Maybe I'll try the organic and see how it goes.
>>21977335Leaving them in bags is 100% fine. I leave my 2 lb in bag, and it takes me a month to use it. No reason to keep in freezer unless we're talking 3+ months, and if the bag can't seal back up.
>less than 10g each of a few different coffee beans left over>mix three beans together to use them up>best cup of coffee yet>no idea what the ratio was
>>21977448Doesn't matter. Even if you did it again with the exact same ratio, it wouldn't taste the same. That's just how it works.
coffee time :)(and cake)
Please recommend any coffee that doesn't cause >>21977279
Origami Pinn coming in 2 days. Still don't know if size 1 filters are good enough.
>>21977867Based. I wish Slowpour had cheaper min shipping. I'd be ordering way more often.>Tonights sip: Finca Monteblanco Pink Bourbon>Tonights brewer: Sworks glass bottomless, .3mm hex/.6mm spacing screen, negotiated kalita 155
>>21977796Oatmeal for breakfast. 1/4 cup steel cut oats, 1/4 cup oat bran, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp ground flax seeds, 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds, 2 tsp benefiber, and whatever you want for flavor like blueberries or bananas. It's well over 20g of fiber. Do this every single day for the rest of your life.
>>21977879i do this every dayno piss only snakes
>>21977021Pre-wet the filter. Recently? 2oz on a 12oz pour.
damn this WASHED... Colombia be hitting frfr
>>21977974>Pre-wet the filtershould do this regardless but the filter retains like a flat 3 grams of water for me
Origami Pinn has arrived a day earlier than expected. Small but cute. Some people seem to have gotten cards with pouring instructions, but mine just came in box with jig only.
>>21978522RIP now you don't know how to pour it...
>>21978538I mean, I just wanted the whole package, not a part of it..
>>21976813What do you think of moccamasters
>>21978572Old and gold. Water distribution can be upgraded a bit.
>>21978559I feel you. I'd be seething personally.
>>21976911get that checked out
>>21978584>can be upgradedHow? Didn't realize an aftermarket existed for fucking drip machines.
