  • cold brew does extract differently. but yes, it's also generally old even when fresh. the stronger i brew it the less stale it tastes to me, so I wind up with a very high brewing ratio of something like 6:1 or less. and i like to drink it neat :-)

  • design challenge: invent a treatment for these access lids that allows them to be swapped around while remaining aesthetically pleasing. it occurred to me that some physical forcing function might keep them in the right order also...

  • when the coffee is mid, make the best of it. it's still a rare luxury in the grand scheme of things. use it to practice latte art or brew it for your friends during book club.

  • enjoying some locally roasted Kenyan beans here lately. been making some extraordinary cups despite some months of lackluster brews.

    also just freshed up the rubber gasket and switched to the single-doser on the encore -- the new gasket seems to give a more precise grind setting and the rubber cap on the single doser makes it a lot less noisy overall. i think the stock hard plastic hopper acts like a trumpet bell.

  • looks like they are carrying a new type of hopper gasket now and its back in stock

  • upper burr carrier wings are looking good to me

  • note: same result in all cases

  • this was the dealbreaker for me. the demand for specific file and directory naming schemes with no default indexer seems deranged.

  • Upper burr carrier looks good to me.

  • the immersion phase is samey but the slurry is sitting on top of a filter so when you open the switch it gets filtered by gravity pulling the coffee through the paper. contrast with french press (no paper) and aeropress (coffee forced with pressure through the paper)

  • its the latter

  • right you will need a grinder that has a fine range of adjustment in grind size around the limit of what you are using now

  • publish your scripts and you might save the next guy some hours 🙂

  • people are using it to just refer to experimentation here but it has some charged political interpretations as well

  • Horror

  • ah i had forgotten about xf86config. /silenthillvoice

  • the main thing i generally shoot for pouring-wise is avoiding churning up the coffee bed by over-aggressively pouring. i feel it causes migration of the fines, which is usually detrimental.

  • you could wire up the switches on your device to the guts of another keyboard
