Not really, it's just the time it takes for me to get the paper filter setup and screwed on. I then flip and press. Maybe ten or 15 seconds.

Cool. It's pretty slow on my machine. I almost tempted to pickup one of those mini pcs with windows 11 on them and just use it for that one thing... But it's only a though and not a very good one... Lol

I have been drinking this recipe most of this week. Just wanted to share.

Aeropress
Water temp 175 F
Beans 2.3g ~ 2.8g
Water 35ml
Milk 4oz ~ 6oz
With the aeropress inverted (around the 1 mark)
Add coffee and water. 
Stir after a few seconds. 
Install filter and press into cup all the way down. 
Add Milk. 
Enjoy

I'm using unsweetened Almond Milk currently. My beans are a Columbian lite roast that I home roast.

I came up with this as a way to enjoy some coffee at night actually, but have been enjoying it in the morning.

I used a 3 stage filter and whole house water softener. With that said, getting one of those larger bottles for water coolers could reduce your plastic usage. I think they sell pumps for them.

Have you considered a Windows vm? That's how i run that single program that i can't get working on Linux. Yeah it's slow AF on my system, but it's not used often.

I'm just starting reading the book The Circle and I just got to the post where they announced the same thing.

I'm in the US, so nothing guaranteed. I have a 401 and a bunch of other pots around.

Same, I'm not gaming, but this distro for me that I find just working. I used Aurora for a bit before making the switch.

The steps look good. It's running Alpine. I wonder how long this takes start to helloworld.

 

I ordered a bag of Lavazza Super Crema for playing with my espresso machine, but wanted to try it out in the V60 for kicks.

Set the ESP to 24 and ground 17g. Brewed with 320ml of water. Coming from mostly light roasts, this taste a bit on the dark side for me, but overall a good balanced cup of coffee. I may go corser on the next brew, maybe 26.

I did 50ml for bloom (30 seconds) Add 70ml wait ten seconds Add 100ml wait ten seconds Add final 100ml

Happy brewing.

 

Trying out their blend and just opened my first bag. It's their 295 mix. I like it, lite and easy to drink It tastes like coffee. Did an aeropress brew and will try V60 next time. I will say the beans gave off an interesting smell that made me nervous about how it would come out, but all is good.

I never heard of this place, but it was recommended in another post. I'll likely keep the subscription, at least for another few bags to see how it goes.

 

I'm doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It's a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I'm happy.

I haven't had too many Kenya coffees, but if you have a whole foods nearby this one tastes good to me.

Parent's Bitter Coffee (startrek.website)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by CCMan1701A@startrek.website to c/coffee@lemmy.world
 

At visiting my parent's this holiday weekend I tired to gently tell my parents that their coffee brew is very bitter. The response I get back is something like, " I like it strong."

I wasn't too sure how to respond, but then they told me my coffee is to watery. 🤔 I told them it's not that is watery, but it's a light roast and not bitter tasting.

So my question is how do you convince someone that bitter coffee is not good coffee? I might bring my scale next time to help measure and perfect the coffee brew there. Maybe even see about cleaning their been grinder, which I think has never been cleaned.

Oh well.

Update: Thanks for all the tips and thoughts. I agree with basically everything posted here and sorry no butter (I fixed the title)

I wanted to try out the desktop version of the Brave browser. Its setup according to the privacy guide directions and I have sendoff usage data disabled, but if I open the browser sitting on the home page, windows is reporting 100KB ofdataa going out every 5 or so seconds.

Running the same test with Edge, no network usage is reported.

The only extention on Brave is bitwarden, which is also installed on edge.

Any thoughts? This is the IP it is sending to: 104.18.12.33

Edit: on reboot of process, I see the hostname: ec2-35-163-26-5.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
