  • Guatemala Proyecto Xinabajul Dos Villatoros from Sweet Maria’s, roasted just a little past medium, ground in a Hario Skerton by hand, about 5 clicks on the grinder setting, brewed pour over in a Melitta single serving ceramic cone. Bloom it first, pour splashy the second time. It takes about 2 minutes for the brew to finish.
    I play with beans and roast a lot, I am pretty fixed with brew technique.
    I found some instant in a Vietnamese market once that was interesting. I usually avoid instant.
    Like I said, I keep brew the same so as to evaluate playing with roasting, but I am open to ideas, I could probably do it better.


  • Two things, one you care about and one you might not. The one you care about: you can set up a service in isolation. You can then test it, make sure it works, and switch over to it once you are sure, with almost no downtime. This is important for things you actually need to use. Once you do something like breaking your primary email server, you will understand. Also, less important, you can set up a service on, say, a VM at home, and move it to a VPS, without having to transfer the entire image, and it will work the same. The one you don’t care about. That last bit about moving servers around is important for cloud providers who turn these things on and off all the time.
