Energy has been low lately and even cleaning the Aeropress or the Moka pot has become a drag.

I remembered I still had that old v60 which is a joy for clean-up, and found a recipe that used swirling to compensate for my kettle's terrible pour.

Forgot how great a simple pour-over can be.

Recipe:

15 g coffee to 250 g water, at 95 degrees celsius.

• 00:00-00:45 dump in 50 g water fast, swirl, and let it bloom.

• 00.45-01:15 pump in the remaining 200 g moderately fast and end with a single good swirl.

• Aim for 2:15-2:45 drain time.

Taste was a little less clear than the Aeropress or Moka Pot, but with good depth and pleasant amount of grit. Very much its own thing that's the best when it's just what you want.

What's your brew today?

Edit: Lavazzo Decaf beans cause it's after midnight and medium-fine grind, two clicks into 'Aeropress" on the Wilfa Svart.

At least we will get another Fallout from the hands of Obsidian right? Right?

The same can be said in reverse for Japanese people on how they see the Western world: Do they assume the USA is like Hollywood or the UK being like British Television? They perhaps assume that all Americans live in a large home with a white picket fence depicting a nuclear family as if its 1950.

All they talk about US is California or New York since most movies and TV shows use either as their main setting. Is the US in real life similar to Hollywood (everyone having a nice car, big home & white picket fence)? That's the kind of response from non-Japanese assuming Japan is like anime.

Before I started watching Star Trek, I had heard about it on the Big Bang Theory. The way it was talked about, I was expecting a franchise with very airtight and complex lore. In reality, it's kind of a muddled mess. And really, it's better the creators don't worry too much about continuity, why let continuity get in the way of a good story? It doesn't make sense that half the cast of the original series had encountered Trelane before but in the end, does it really matter?

Anyway, fans of big franchises who keep track of all the lore and act as though it's all consistent, put way more thought into continuity than the creators.
