··Wow! Custom title... coolMaybe if his coach had put him in 4th quarter....
Yeah, they would have taken State. No doubt about it. But he made some sweet moolah on the nylon polymer kitchenware 😀

·Using blade grinder with a French press can be a bit dodgy. They produce a lot of fines which can end up as sludge in your cup.

·After a long time spent lurking, a post I can contribute to!
Baratza Virtuoso inserted into their now-discontinued Esatto, which allows for exact weight-based grinding (both refurbs). The Esatto has three customizable presets, with mine set to 14g for the pour over, 44g for the Chemex, and 80g for a Kyoto dripper (not pictured). The Stagg EKG is a great kettle that holds whatever temp you want, and while there are some others a bit cheaper, it's got a really slow pour and the textured matte black surface seems almost impervious to fingerprints, smudges, etc. I also appreciate it has a turn knob with nice clicks rather than buttons. You know, bezel-like.
1000 Faces is out of Athens. Used to have a Counter Culture subscription, but they don't need my money, and this is the stuff the good local coffee shop sells (always roasted a week or so prior), and they need the support during Covid. Sadly, my midday walk-and-espresso habit has been in abeyance for 14 months now, because espresso out of a paper cup feels like (the bad kind of) sacrilege.
Half of a converted card catalog stores the beans, filters, coffee mugs, and random ephemera. I fished out one mug in particular to display as a nod to the many Speedy fans present!

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Guess it was not here. Yesterday I stumbled onto a discussion about cleaning Burr Grinders. Some folks advocated running some kind of dry chemical cleaner through the machine. A more compelling tip was uncooked rice. I tried it this morning and it worked great.

·Can you cook the ground rice in the coffee machine after?
Sorry 😁
The idea seems quite good actually (to clean with rice, not to cook it after)

·What grind sizes do you recommend?
Both brewing methods are pretty difficult to pull off a perfect and consistent cup though because the coffee is in contact with the water for such a long time. With FP, the “fines” will over extract and make the coffee bitter and the “boulders” will under extract and taste weak. a grinder that will give you a coarse grind that has a narrow particle size distribution to avoid a lot of fines will cost you big bucks (I have a ditting). So the standard 4 minutes at 195F will probably make the coffee pretty bitter, especially with super dark coffee. Just play with it and see where you like it.

·I’m using a 50s West Bend. I don’t know what a Moka pot is unless you mean mocha, in which case I still don’t!

·Ok, then that one is probably best with a coarse grind.

·Never thought that I'd miss the occasional Starbucks run, but it's interesting what happens when you haven't had something for over a year.

·Rocket Mozzafiato Evo R (NZ designed and Italian manufactured) with Anfim grinder...purchased the day before we went into lockdown last year here in New Zealand - not that it was that long for us, but made the wait just that bit more bearable... Haven't yet contemplated roasting our own beans as there are a good number of great roasters around - Havana is a local favourite...
