Coffee snobs

Thank you Thank You >>> all of philly coffee IMO.

bold bean is a fav.

 

My favorite and easily the best local coffee roaster just redesigned their bags and have been posting on IG about their new look for weeks. Went in today and they've slyly dropped them from 12oz to 10oz, same price. Is that going to be a thing now?

 

That's been a thing for years, unfortunately

 

shrinkflation unfortunately

 

Oh that’s very much a thing. Wait until you see the 8.8oz (250g) bags popping up.

 

In Chicago for business and blue bottle is across the street. Enjoy their espresso. Hayes valley. Picked up a bag as well. Worth it without shipping.

 

Try swinging by Dayglow or 4 Letter Word..

 

added them to my list. Unfortunately 6 miles from my hotel so can’t make it this trip.

 

Sold a couple of burrs and a hand grinder to compensate for the fact that I ended up pre-ordering the xBloom Studio

 

Been enjoying the Little Waves sub, received this properly cunty bag today. Still can’t sort the pronunciation

 

Any recommendations for an espresso/coffee grinder? Fixing to move on from Nespresso pods and upgrade to a Gaggia Classic Evo Pro. TIA

 

Price? Electric or hand grinder? On the coffee side, are you wanting v60 or something like french press/drip?

 

If he’s upgrading to a gaggia classic then he’s looking for an espresso grinder, right?

 

Yes. Espresso grinder please. Looking at something for a few hundred dollars. Hand or electric- no preference. I read good things about Eureka Mignon Specialita, but would have to get one open box for something with that list price.

Honestly, I am really new to this, so I really don’t know what to look for.

 

Maybe check out a fellow opus maybe an encore esp (I’ve used neither but heard decent things)

 

Well, he said espresso/coffee. I do both so it's possible.

BigRed I'm a hand grind guy. You can get out much cheaper that way, offset by a little elbow grease. I'll let someone else chime in for electric, but here are my primaries:

https://1zpresso.coffee/j/ - I have the jx-pro for dual use, but I think they have an espresso centic grinder on Amazon that might be slightly better for you.

Happy to go through the pros and cons of these if you decide to go down that road. They're very different, but both great

 

Little Waves is on Fellow Drops now. It’s the same processing set I posted a few weeks ago.

 

$60 for 300g. Yikes

 

Yeah. Definitely more than their normal stuff but it was delicious. I did the 3 10oz bags direct from them and it was almost $110 shipped. That’s about 850g. I wouldn’t buy the 100g bags.

 

100g bags…..I’m finally dialed in annnnnnddd it’s gone

 

Tbf, if you have a standard pour over recipe, it ain’t that bad for ultra small batch / premium coffees.
You can cup them all at 10g doses to really run a parallel taste test

 

Was more an espresso joke.

just throw those in the switch and let ‘em sit

 

Botz stuff dropped & all but one of the Ethiopians are still available.

 

I got the gummies (Nguisse Nare) and Bekele Kechara ones. It’s been a while since Danny roasted any new beans so excited for these ones!

 

Bekele Kechara & Mate Matiwos here

 

Y’all bought too much. They put a hold on more orders this week.

 

He*. My man’s a one man operation roasting on a tiny ass roaster. I don’t know how he does it but he needs to scale up if demand continues to be this high.

 

Bought a lot of coffee in the last couple weeks, including geshas from each roaster -The Picky chemist, September,Terraform and H&S today. I've gotta stop.

On aside note, the xBloom Pro has been fun to tweak around. Pretty solid pourovers and while it may not have produced a 10/10 cup yet, having consistency has been quite the positive. I don't think I'll be making any manual pourovers anytime soon

 

What does everyone do for water on the road? Don't have enough space for a regular kettle, so thinking through the options for aeropress only:

• Bonavita mini kettle
• Collapsible kettle (read that these impart silicone flavor)
• Heat water in microwave/coffee pot and transfer to aeropress
• Immersion heating element (have little kids around, so not sure I feel good about this)

 

I've had my eye on this for years and this is the best deal I've ever seen. Couldn't pass it up this time

At Cocoa Cinnamon, the little waves coffee shop, and they are speaking my language today.

Edwin Norena special espresso and have one of his for pour over. Lady got a cortado cubano.

 

Damn that looks good

actually had a bag of the humure back in May, was good

 

A lot of business trips coming up. Looking for local coffee shops so I can get some steps in early before meetings and try local shops / roasters.

Newport RI first.

 

Simple Merchant.

 

Thanks. I’ll try them tomorrow.

 

I made several shots with that watermelon one that I thought were wonderful. Then I tried theirs and I’ve got equipment Fomo. Smh

 

it was awesome. Simple latte. Very complex.

 

Newport has some cool spots - I am sure it's mobbed right now with summer vacations and such but glad you had a good experience there as well.

 

nothing near Reston VA? There this week. (DC area)
