I am thinking the pineapple pizza crap was better than this crazy coffee stuff. You coffee guys are nuttier than the knife and especially natural stone people and that is saying something. We need a coffee thread so it is easy to ignore. Putting this here in the hopes of breaking the coffee talk
Try audiophilecoffee nerding is way worse than polishing talk lol
Meanwhile I'm thinking about splurging on the Fellow Aiden so I don't have to manually pour for 4 minutes hah.Once you have your method dialled in you just switch off and go on autopilot for the pouring, it’s quite meditative in my experience as I literally can’t do anything else for about 4 minutes![]()
Yeah kitchen knives aren’t really the worst offender in the whole knife hobby thing… There’s only so much thing you can play with until the knife is all bling and unusableIMHO, knife enthusiasts/collectors/nerds are pretty straightforward, easy bunch to get a handle on compared to art collectors/nerds—helluva lot cheaper too.
I love that method for iced coffee - a staple for me in the summersI do have a pour over that we use to make iced coffee Japanese style. That was a game changer for iced coffee.
I was really trying to follow, but I have to draw the line when you guys start making your own water. They have medicine for that.Why is any of it bad, we are all weird enthusiast crazed dudes anyway
Some weirder than others
I get that on hearing about it first, but it's perfectly logical thinking about it. Chicago (where I am) has some of the hardest water in the US. It scales up your boilers like crazy and can cause failure. You buy a mix in packets online and throw it in distilled water, or combine some salts and minerals once, and then you are set for years. Coffee is 99% water, why wouldn't you give it some love? Again, I buy a few jugs of distilled water, throw in some minerals and I'm set for months. With pourovers I don't bother though.I was really trying to follow, but I have to draw the line when you guys start making your own water. They have medicine for that.
ok I think we also need to clarify why distilled or reverse osmosis water is bad for the machine. if the water is too clean, the particles from the metal boiler may leach into the water. also, multiple sensors in the machine need mineral content to read things properly. I have a TDS meter and test the water I put in my machine.I get that on hearing about it first, but it's perfectly logical thinking about it.

Yes, yes osmosis is a female dog and electric sensors need minerals to read. These are horrible excuses to continue this insanity.

Only go outside to buy more coffeeYes, yes osmosis is a female dog and electric sensors need minerals to read. These are horrible excuses to continue this insanity. You guys need to go outside sometime
That is another topic.I guess it's kind of hard to argue about a topic going off topic, in the off topic section...
Nice, I haven't tried the current harvest, but have enjoyed a lot of Kieni from Coffee Collective over the years and it's always been excellent.Picked up this bag today. Any coffee collective fans?
“Juicy acidity and intense sweetness. Full-bodied and refreshing with complex aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry and blackberry”

Isn't that what we hear every year about almost every crop? By now I'm almost convinced it's a setup for the commodity market to hitch prices up....get me my tin foil hat, it's a conspiracy!I hear there may be an issue with the coffee harvest this year because of the wacky weather. Anyone hear something similar?
