    ☕️ Coffee!

    It's not a perfect solution, but most home electric grinders aren't fit to grind so fine, though good manual ones can (starting with jx), but then it's a real hassle, physically. So this is a compromise that still allows you to get a good cup, just not a perfect one, and IMO better than those...

    ☕️ Coffee!

    I sometimes buy beans, preferably fit for turkish coffee (Colombia Supremo is a good example). All you need is to grind them very fine, or ask the roaster to do so, unlike espresso, the ground coffee prepared in this method will still taste great for a few weeks. Preparation involves pouring hot...

    ☕️ Coffee!

    In the morning, v60 with a light roast from Square Mile to start the day, and espressos/capuccinos using my Niche and Bianca for the rest of it. That's true at least when I work from home (3 days a week), at work I'd feel to wierd to make v60, so I suffer through those Nespresso capsules.

    First Knife Recommendation (200$ budget)

    Ok, so I think I'll keep it simple for now and get a 1-2k stone.

    Never intended to limit my purchase to one stone, what other stone would you recommend?

    So only 1 stone? No need for a courser stone as well?

    First Knife Recommendation (200$ budget)

    Thanks for the help everyone! To sum things up, currently the 3 main options I'm considering are: Suien 210/ 240mm VC Gyuto Tsunehisa AS Kurouchi Gyuto 210/240mm Ashi Hamono Ginga Swedish Stainless Steel Gyuto 210/240mm With some advantage to the Suien, due to it being thicker and heavier, and...

    First Knife Recommendation (200$ budget)

    Thank you! My kitchen is relatively small, but I do have a completely empty counter area that is 92x100cm, which is open from 3 sides. Not sure though where that stands with regards to comfortably using a 240mm knife. I think I can already see how I'd prefer a knife with a little more...

    @NotAddictedYet Thanks, though it seems out of stock pretty much everywhere.

    First Knife Recommendation (200$ budget)

    You mean something like wiping them dry between ingredients until a stable patina is developed? Can it be used with both right and left hand? It would be nice to be able to use the knife for my standard cooking routine with my left hand, while also practicing with my right one, in order to...

    First Knife Recommendation (200$ budget)

    I guess that's something I should read up on, but since you mentioned it, are there tasks that a carbon steel knife is less suited to perform than stainless? You're right of course, I'm still in the process of learning the basics, using this course, and applying the lessons with my current...

    @rmrf Thanks for the detailed response! Thanks, I guess I'll have to look up the effect of grond thickness.

    First Knife Recommendation (200$ budget)

    @rmrf Thanks! I'm currently using 210mm, and I never used anything bigger, so do you think it might be difficult to adjust to this size? Also, not sure if it's ok to hijack this thread for another purpose, but if it is, I'd be glad for stones and cutting board recommendations. Kind of...

    First Knife Recommendation (200$ budget)

    Hi Guys, Due to a significant increase in the frequency of home cooking, I'm looking to upgrade my equipment, and that of course includes acquiring a proper knife (and a softer cutting board). After some searching, I seem to have converged on JCK Deep Impact Gyuto as a good choice for a sub...
