You watch too much sci-fi, dreamer.

Sure but it takes a billionaire or a republican politician to be comfortable with this degree of age discrepancy.

Ok, but you can take my gas stove away over my dead body, which apparently might be dead from an asthma attack.

Your mom is clearly dumb.

I like the idea of waiting a bit to flip it if using a dark roast especially. Maybe 1min? I’m not going to pretend to understand it, but I don’t think most coffee brewing scales in a linear fashion. I could easily imagine the small 1 cup brewer being less “forgiving” with lighter roasts. Do you like it? With available options like FP, aeropress, and moka - you have a lot of choices for these “tweener” type brews that lie on the pour-over -> espresso spectrum. Which do you use the most?

Well I’m not framing any of these prints. Frankly I wish this were more true. It would be at least a little bit of an automatic security feature and also an indicator when foodstuff has been around too long. Unfortunately the freezer where I’m keeping these minimizes any fading.

Most have removed BPA. BPS risk is theoretical. It would be nice to see a safer alternative though. These types of receipts are still in wide use and the impact on health if any is not clear. I can understand wanting to avoid it though. A lot of people here won’t even brew their coffee with high end thermal resistant plastic, so the tolerance for perceived risks is probably on the low end in the speciality community.

Edit; it’s been awhile since I’ve looked into this. I went back and have found there are now many completely phenol free options. Mine has always been bpa free, but my next batch will be totally phenol free.

All I can think of for some reason is the Chemical Brothers song "it began in Africa - ca - ca "

I’ve long meant to publish a cookbook but since it’s probably not going to happen I’ll share my concept here. It was going to be called “it starts with an onion” About 90% of the dishes I make start this way. Even if a recipe doesn’t call for it, I’ll often just start with some diced onion in oil and then began the recipe. If you have some ingredients around and you are trying to think of what to do with them, envision a Dutch oven or frying pan with some softened salted chopped onions in it and start planning what you will add too it. It’s a solid start to many a meal. Also, don’t underestimate shallots. They are like if garlic and onion had a baby.

Damn, I’ll take two. Does the price include shipping?

What is she waiting for? There is plenty of room for her to join too.

Is this how I find out I’m autistic??

Move it to the top of the Christmas list.

Wow. That seems like a propoganda video from big cucumber.

I would love to hear a comparison of this to the Orea Z1. The Z1 is massively overpriced but it also doesn’t require a gooseneck and brews a really nice cup but is small and wonderful for travel. The 250ml limit seems a bit restrictive on this. I remember hearing many complaints about stalls on the Hoop, but perhaps Scott’s filters really do solve that issue?

Always glad to hear about any form of coffee being elevated. I’ll have to try some of these newer options. That being said, a quality instant being better than a folgers preground drip is a pretty low bar. It’s easier than ever to make a good pour over. There are good travel and at work options even. A good thermos also goes a long way. Personally I just don’t find myself often wishing I had some good instant coffee I could whip l up. With a small amount of planning you can usually do better.

Thanks for sharing this story. I really enjoy reading stuff like this. You responded to a prior post re the Kono. I started reading about it and saw that it significantly predated the v60. I was pretty fascinated by this history and decided to buy one. I haven’t had a chance to play with it a whole lot - with the beans I’ve tried on it so far I was still preferring the v60, but I’m going to keep experimenting with it. I like the faster Abaca filters with the v60. Perhaps I need to try the kono with conventional filters instead. Re the FP. Have you tried the Caffi filters? It’s the only way I will do FP now. Cleanup is super easy. It’s a very dfferent brew. You will need to adjust technique and grind size (happy to share my recipe if you’d like). Its really a filter brew with this and tastes like it. I actually prefer the taste, but it does still extract a little bit of oil for some FP experience - should be considerably healthier with the filter as well.

Adopt me.

There are a number of them. The one I use is literally called “brew-timer”. Available on apple and Google play stores. There is one called “cofi” on F-Droid that looks very similar as well.
