Agreed. And he’s legitimately entertaining. Lance on the other hand….is a tool of the highest order and a pseudointellectual.
I love the entertainment factor of James but he and Lance both are held up as gods by coffee people when i think a lot of what they produce, especially their “scientific” experiments, are questionable at best.
In roasting we have a similar problem with Scott Rao who most professional roasters think is a fool.
The only people who find studies are vegans or the meat industry.
Looks great! What kinda difficulty would you say it is comparable to? I’ll try to play it after I’m done with black myth.
No, for the same reason Hitlers body isn’t on display for “historic” purposes. Sudate on them, yes. Otherwise they should be erased from discourse as to not become idols much like many confederate leaders are today.
There’s plenty other examples of skill to use that doesn’t have a subject of traitors….this can get melted, or otherwise destroyed.
Chicory in coffee? Probably not. Brewed chicory though? Not bad but it’s just another drink imo. Blue Bottle also does a chicory drink that’s pretty good.
But it also has more to do with your ratios. If the extraction is too bitter try changing a variable and see if you get a better result. More coffee, less water, etc. that’s also how baristas and the rest of us espresso makers dial in shots.
That’s totally fair and I agree there should be no fees for that. My airline doesn’t charge for choosing seats, at least when booking directly with them. So that’s my frame of reference. My only point of contention is that while boarding I don’t wanna move my seat because someone else couldn’t pay or didn’t plan in advance. At least, I want it to be my decision and not forced on me.
I mean apparently not since that’s not the case in today’s reality. So I guess I don’t lose?
What needs does a 10 year old have for a 3 hour flight? Besides go to the bathroom or hears your snacks.
I guess I don’t have that problem with Alaska Airlines. I agree with no fees for choosing seats. But after that it’s fair game.
And so they MUST sit together? How many people are flying for a death in the family or emergency vs a vacation or planned trip anyways?
Why? Can people not sit apart for a few hours? I agree with no charging but moving because you didn’t book in advance with enough time to sit together shouldn’t result in others being inconvenienced.
Fuck that noise. Plan ahead. I’ll repeat what someone else said. Parents shitty planning doesn’t become my problem. I pick the seat I want.
Just reading through the comments I can’t tell if you’re buying from a local roaster or not but you should do that if not. You can also chat with them about recipes for the beans to know extraction ratios, dosage amounts, etc. I used to have the Oracle touch and ended up buying some simple 3d printed items that turned it into a single dose grinder and allowed me to tamp manually. Might be something you wanna look at. Ironically I found the Oracle although more expensive and makes very good coffee doesn’t make great coffee because of all the automation. Even compared to less expensive Brevilles. I can try to find links to what I purchased or to the actual plans on case you print yourself if you’d like.
If you’re gonna do that you can also try cupping beans first to get a sense of what they taste like before properly extracting them. I roast as well and this always helps get like the essence of the bean/roast profile’s taste down so I know how I want to extract.
Ps5 pro, just got released. But it’s entirely too expensive for what its offering over base ps5, doesn’t have a disc reader, and while I love my base model there really aren’t that many games taking advantage of it so having to pay more for remastered last gen games doesn’t feel like a good value for most folks I’d imagine.
