Apparently it’ll set you back $99 to buy something that a kettle can do.
You can buy a nice kettle for $99. It could also make tea and do other things apart from making liquid leather.
But it comes with a glass mug!!!
Not sure if this has been mentioned in the thread.
Daiso sell disposable pour over thingys. So small, light and make an awesome coffee when you are in the sticks.
I’ve been using filter toast lately in a cold immersion with pretty good results
About 18-22g of beans/250ml water leave soak over night then put it through my aeropress or v60.
Also got a sunbeam BCG-820 grinder, so good.
I’ve stopped making espressos and am pretty much exclusively Aeropressing. Hey Buddy filter roast at Padre is consistent, reasonably priced, and very good. I’m on some Market Lane stuff at the moment, and I’ve had some Small Batch, and while they’re both good, Proud Mary filter roasts have all been superb. They’re expensive compared to Padre, but I keep going back to it.
TC: I have been drinking a fair bit of coffee from a chain starting with Z. A friend works there and gifted me a bundle of free cards and doesn’t take the card when taking my order. I’m adapting to the taste and have been enjoying it quite a lot.
I don’t get espresso or delicate coffee there.
^ Ztarbucks?
What’s that?
Best use for that stuff is mixing it with beer, and that’s not even preferable.

Black Giraffe is delicious! The Mountain Goat & Seven Seeds Seedy Goat Coffee Porter is also excellent, but hyper expensive.

“very fine in texture or structure; of intricate workmanship or quality”
I would say some of the premium brands made properly fit the description.
Turns out it’s almost exclusively a QLD company.
For price and quality (but also convenience for me) I can’t go past Abbostford Bakery for whole beans - around $24 for a kg.
Aeropress-friendly beans?
For cold brew, anything special to worry about in regards to beans? I.e. dark or light roast, fine or coarse grind?
Definitely coarse grind, like a step or two coarser than french press. Roast is to personal preference, but it’s usually light to medium roast (for my preference anyway.
Then starts the experimentation with water to coffee ratio. Good times ahead.
I found this to be useful. http://www.bruer.co/blogs/news/12222337-cold-bruer-experiments-with-grind-size
Just Blend 43, Geoff. It says on the box.
Thanks Brad, so would have to adjust my Porlex from it’s current 4th notch that I use for the Aeropress, or the current middle grind setting on my home grinder to be more coarse by the sounds of it.
Not one of your best.
Can’t really say - I use them for espresso at home, buying whole beans for use in a Mazzer-Mini grinder.
