I’m glad you enjoyed it! If you are looking for a suggestion, I have the Fellow Clara. It’s a bit pricey, but it has been absolutely awesome.

I honestly just love Fellow products, I have yet to be disappointed by anything they’ve made. To be fair though, I know many have been dissatisfied with their Carter line of travel mugs, as many have gotten a roasted garlic smell in the mug that they can’t get rid of. But I’ve currently got 4 of them, and haven’t experienced it once.

I’m just more curious than anything, but why do you have the boiler set for 4 degrees above boiling?

That’s a beautiful looking machine, I can see why you’d want to get that! I still don’t know which machine I’m going to get, thought I think I want to start with something like the flair 58 and maybe a nanofoamer.

Chemex is still one of my favorites. You first enjoy a meal or drink with your eyes, and the Chemex is easily my most beautiful piece of coffee hardware. I just love the classic look of it.

Yeah, I watched this video recently and it has me leaning towards the Varia Aku.

I would highly recommend taking a peak at James Hoffmann’s method. I feel it has been the most efficient method in removing that sludge at the bottom of the cup.

Definitely a bit jealous.

I haven’t quite gotten into espresso, but when I do I think I will go entirely manual to start. I already have a JX Pro, which should be serviceable to grind espresso. Then I’m thinking of getting the Flair. I need a smaller scale to fit the flair, so I was considering the Lunar, but it sure is pricey.

I love the precision down to that 0.3 lol

Absolutely wonderful setup you have there. What scale do you use when pulling your shot, and what is your final output?

Sometimes the simplest is the most delicious.

Sounds like anaerobic fermentation! I have had some seriously funky and delicious beans that went through that process. I even saw one that did the same, but introduced peaches into the fermentation to attempt to impart some of that flavor as well.

Absolutely no memes please. Right now, r/games is easily the subreddit that I miss the most, and it’s because it was entirely news and discussion focused. I sincerely hope I can turn to this community for most of my gaming news, and don’t want to see an influx of memes.

Free speech is speech that is protected from government regulation or persecution. This is a private platform, and therefore Nazis and their speech can fuck right off.

So yeah, they are absolutely to spew their hateful speech without legal repercussions, but we absolutely do not have to let them do so here.

So I love it so far, but when switching to the true black AMOLED setting, a lot of the buttons stay that gray color. Not sure if intended or missed.

Similar for me, but with Relay. I absolutely refuse to use the shitshow that is the official app. And honestly, I’ve been actively choosing to use Reddit less and less.

If you’ve got about 25 minutes, Lance Hedrick actually made a video pretty recently about exactly this topic!

Hey, pour over is just a good old classic. You can’t really repeat the ritual or flavors you get with it anywhere else. And sometimes the most simple is the most enjoyable.

I’ve been looking at the flair 58 as a potential entry into espresso. I have a JX Pro, which I have read should be serviceable to grind for espresso.

How have the shots been on your 58? Only complaints I’ve heard are in relation to preheating, anything else that you love/dislike?

V60 is definitely my favorite, but as I continue to collect more gear, I almost feel guilty if I dont go back and use some for a little bit. So I’ll go on binges with my French press, the Stagg, chemex, aeropress, aeropress with prismo.

And if either James Hoffman or Lance Hedrick drop a new video highlighting a piece I already have, you better believe I am gonna go back and try what they are suggesting.

Dude, I know you can’t say why, but I sincerely hope you come back after your…excursion? And update us all with the results. And may e tell us why when you have the chance.

Just coming in here and saying you can’t shit for 3 days. What on earth is this.
