Coffee snobs

Got a trade sub for Christmas and got some broadsheet a couple weeks back. Really enjoyed it.

 

Any other light roast coffees you recommend from them? Need another bag to hit free shipping.

sorry I just saw this but they bill it as immersion but it’s much easier to get a good cup of coffee consistently vs. V60. A good V60 cup is a higher payoff when it hits

 

I like how fellow does its weekly offer, much less likely to run out or end up with too much

 

Except that I also have 2 other subscriptions...

 

All their stuff it pretty great & can't really go wrong. I've enjoyed these recently:
Colombia - Albeiro Muñoz
Ethiopia - Dur Feres

 

Can’t get enough of the lime & cotton candy

Spoiler

 

Were not kidding on the strawberry

 

I'll be damned... fucking cotton candy

 

Strawberry water. Sounds like somebody needs to refine their palate

 

Do love that they included the biggest ingredient to the beverages flavor description

 

The eagle has landed! Now that I can pre infuse shots on light roasts, I just ordered a Kilo of Luna Strawberry Sundae ..

 

That rocket shaped cleaner

 

How long you had the niche?

 

I saw it & immediately went online to buy it. No coffee setup is complete without it.

 

I ordered it in May 2020 - received it around August or September that year.

I don’t think there’s a comparable grinder for the price vs. performance ratio under 1,000-1,500$, despite being a decent outlay to begin with. Well built, consistent grinds, fairly quiet.

 

Just did my first cleaning, definitely well built.

 

I don’t take it apart as much as they prescribe but I do use the rocket air duster to clean up loose grinds pretty much every day or two.

 

Yeah I need to snag one of those but I’d just finished a darker roast than my usual and was also just curious. 63mm burrs vs 40mm (encore) is a massive difference.

 

Compared to Profitec 600, It had Flow profiling out of the box, rotary pumps, movable reservoir, and ability to plumb. The wood accents were certainly nice and the flow control knob is definitely a better design vs. the Profitec flow control, which sounds painful to use.

I considered Profitec 700, which compares well and perhaps has a bit of a better build quality but I was buying from Clive Coffee (as I was trading my machine in for store credit) and they don’t carry the flow control versions. Whole Latte Love is the only retailer that sells Profitec machines with flow control installed. Besides, the Lelit just had some nice touches, like the wood accents and included naked portafilter.

 

Picked up the greater Goods beans off Fellow Drops today.

 

I want them, but gonna be traveling next week & won't be around once delivered.

 

Fellow Drops has been my favorite purchase/subscription in the last 6 months BTW... if some of you aren't signed up, you should

 

Not gonna lie, I’m pretty excited about this

Ordered a bunch of light roasts from Hatch Coffee in Canada .. Free shipping on 3 or more bags and about 16 USD for a 10oz bag .. very good price and I've heard great things about their roasting and sourcing.

El Paraiso Castillo Decaf (Mangosteen, Lemonade, Cane Sugar)
Basha Bekele Farm Sidama (Raspberry, Blackberry Jam, Pineapple, Honey)
Okoluu Dambi Uddo Guji (Nectarine, Strawberry, Orange Crea)

 

El Injerto arrived today with some wild tasting notes, sweet and tropical notes, caramel covered apples, limes, and pink lemonade.

Pink vs regular lemonade, can’t wait

 

What’s this threads preferred home brewing method? I have a French press, aero press, v60, mako pot, and a standard cheap drip coffee maker. Not sure which I like best tbh

 

Rarely French Press, V60 weekdays, lever arm espresso weekends

 

V60 every day, rare French press when I remember and have more time

 

I’m not fluent in best way to use the things I have but I feel like my v60 is more time consuming than French press. Less babysitting

 

Once the water reaches temp it's about 5 minutes until I can drink a cup versus about 10 for French press

 

V60

 

The press lets you do other things while it brews, and that’s nice. Pour over demands your attention while it’s happening.

 

V60 for me, with great beans
Chemex on the weekend with the wife, with lesser beans

 

Anybody else get this one from fellow drops? First bag from them that isn’t doing much for me. Very strong tea flavor to me but that’s it (at least from v60).

also got to use my new WDT this morning but my grind was way to coarse to comment on improvement

 

You ever had any beans from Panama? They tend to have tea like profiles, which I perfer.

I would try a different brew method if you didn’t like it in V60. I usually try with the kalita wave if V60 isn’t hitting. I liked them but not the best I’ve had. Prefer the geisha from Verve.

 

Definitely better as espresso now that I’ve dialed it in but still not amazing.

 

Has anyone had an Indonesian coffee that wasn't nutty/earthy? Happymug has a light roasted natural from sulawesi that they claim is fruity without much earthiness that defies everything I've experienced from the region

 

Finally took things to the next level and purchased a Stagg EKG. Cup I brewed this morning didn’t disappoint

 

Never saw this pour over bag before and thought it was just the neatest thing.

 

It’s great for travel.

 

Was actually thinking it’d be great for going back to the office

 

Aeropress is the best office/travel setup

 

Anyone get the upgrade Ode grinder?

Fellow drops killing me with the $25 250g bags

 

I got the Manhattan Diego Bermudez beans from that drop - a little $$ but I've heard great things and the Thermal Shock processing sounds interesting as F.

 

I got the Ethiopian from anchorhead two weeks ago. It’s good. First time using fellow drops and I like it.

The drop today said the roaster was awarded best in America in 2019. Located in Brooklyn. Just so happens I’ll be in NYC in two weeks, so I’ll probably check that place out.
