>>22107359>how was your trip to Vietnam?It was great.When are you going?
>>22107359You trying to fill a hole or something? Drip at home or from the gas station gets the job done.
>>22107372>gas
>>22107376You doing a European thing? Yes, gas, short for gasoline is the refined product that is used in most engines. Petroleum, or "petrol" is the unrefined product used to make gasoline, jet fuel, asphalt, etc.
I had a nice big switch brew yesterday.
>>22107420I made another :)
Imagine being a coffee bean.
>>22107379>Petroleum, or "petrol" is the unrefined product used to make gasolineDumb cunt.Both petrol and gasoline are made from crude oil and petrol is a high BON than gasoline
>>22107359anime coffee
>>22107678Gay and pedo-pilled.
>>22107679i think you could use a cup of coffee
>>22107359is this a decent scale? it's a timemore black mirror basic 2. just wondering what i need to upgrade next..i have a hand grinder, a gooseneck kettle (no +/-1 adjustments tho, only increments like 200, 205, 212), a small scale for weighing beans, and a chemex. i think the only thing missing is one of these scales, right?
>>22107690At this point I'd just drop $100 on a bookoo ultra and be satisfied you've got an "endgame" piece of gear with nothing to upgrade to.>t. 2021 acaia lunar owner
>>22107746Nigga, that's 3-4lbs of coffee.I'm not dpending 3-4lbs of coffee on a coffee scale.
>>22107686It's good for (You)
>>22107788Only have to buy it once my poor friend.
>>22107746>bookoo ultrait looks like this one uses bluetooth and has an app for your phone, and sometimes needs firmware updates. i really dont want something like that. I'd prefer something that is as analogue as possible. i dont ever want to connect a piece of coffee equipment to the internet for any reason.
>>22107801It functions entirely bluetooth and app free if you'd like it to. Having your phone act as an external display is incredibly useful for non coffee kitchen shit. I toss a big Cambro container on my Lunar for weighing out flour and it blocks the readout. Being able to log shit to beanconquerer is very nice when you're freezing a bunch of tubes or bags.
>>22107788someone who makes coffee every single day will quickly learn to eyeball amounts and extraction times, i'm convinced scales are for retards who can't trust themselves to follow a recipe unless the exact amounts of ingredients are listed down to the gram, it's all food and cooking and coffee spergs treat it like it's a strict chemical reaction.
>>22107850>amounts and extraction timesthe better scales do more than that, though. they automatically calculate flow rate of your pours and the brew ratio of coffee to water in real time. maybe not necessary but certainly not something you can just eyeball
>>22107850
>>22107359coffee time:)anyone else save their coffee if they cant finish it?like put a lid on the cup and leave it in the fridge to have the next morning?ive just done that, i hope its good
>>22107792is she holding it that way because the cup is for me and shes presenting it so when i go to take it from her i can take it by the handle?thats very thoughtful.
>>22107746thisthe bookoo is great
>>22107916
>>22108010Eyeballing your carafe of coffee 70ml at a time with a crooked label?
>>22108026qq
>>22108002that's the proper way to hold a cup with a handle. you are supposed to grasp the cup and let your fingers go under the loop; you're not supposed to grip the handle with your whole hand.she is very learned in proper etiquette and manners, you see.
>>22108127i dont believe you
>>22107690totally solid, a great choice at a great price point
>>22108045Youve never once been on irc.
>>22108139cool. the basic 3 has a bigger silicone pad and the added coffee:water ratio thing which i dont think the 2 has. and its only $7 more so i might go for that one
>>22108189sure why notid rather just do the math myself but thats just me
i have a big headache
>>22108192hmm, i guess i thought the scale did something that i couldnt do in my head but i guess maybe it doesnt. i do premeasure the water and beans so i guess i might not even need that.
>>22108199you either drank too much coffee or not enough coffee, or you drank your coffee too late, or too early..get well soon.
>>22108203its just division anon
>>22108212it's cause i don't sleep enough
>>22108185>qq is exclusive to my unc messenger

Only a few more weeks until summers over
>>22108287nuh uh
>>22107359>syphonwhy would anyone choose to use such a device and why are the japs so fond of it? wouldnt it have all the same problems of a stovetop percolater?
>>22107359Coffee time!
>>22108000I only have one cup at a time (mokapot) so I always finish it.
>>22108330it looks cool and is fun to use and makes a unique cup of coffeetheyre popular in japan because prior to the invention of the v60 syphons were pretty much the only way coffee was made at hip cafesand no, the brewed coffee is never recirculated through the bed so it does not have the issues of a stovetop percolator
>>22108330Puts out a fuckload of aromatics. Best smelling brewer. Its a spectacle like jap ice drip towers.
For me, it's a french press full of freshly ground beans poured over a generous pile of instant milk powder, butter and brown sugar.
>>22108340sounds pretty fuckin tasty
>>22108340does the milk powder dissolve good? i remember having a hot chocolate mix that used milk powder and there would be little chunks that didn't dissolve
>>22108330rule of cool
>>22108350It dissolves fine, but if you use too much the coffee will develop a film. The one I use has lecithin in it which helps the powder dissolve and also emulsifies the butter.
>>22108370seems unnecessary. why not replace the powder and butter with heavy cream?
>>22108373I'm just not in the habit of stocking cream. Convenience over luxury.
>>22108374>cream
>>22108374nonsense. tell me the truth. are you too fat to go to the store? too poor to afford cream?
>>22108387I live on an island, so the less liquids I have to carry over on the ferry, the better. Powdered milk is king and butter is just a staple I'd buy regardless.
>>22108443oh ok. i'm guessing it's a comfy tropical island if it doesn't have grocery stores on it
just bought a cup and a coaster
>>22108448It's a little bigger than picrel but not by much.
>>22108483is coffee grown on your island?
>>22108487no
>>22108537just curiousdo you like it?to keep things relevant: i purchased Hank Green's coffee, it's a washed Colombian and it is just fine, it's exactly what you would expect from a washed Colombian
