No more tier so back to vigor

#

Imma just try FB otl on everything tomorrow probs

#

I wanna try all 3 specs, outlaw first ofc

gaunt phoenix
#

you can prolly go 1 vigor, maybe 2 is too much

lone spear
#

yea, tea is wild too

brave lagoon
#

I completely forgot we wanted vigor before s2

lone spear
#

ur never dropping under 100 energy

#

or w/e it is for tea

cinder relic
#

True

#

Ill play 1 lethal

brave lagoon
#

My brain is too smooth to figure these things out

cinder relic
#

Any known reason for KS canceling

random stirrup
#

doesnt tails coin do it

cinder relic
#

Ah is that it

#

Thats what it looked like

gaunt phoenix
#

i guess no way to sim 2 vigor + 9% haste vs 1 vigor + 18% haste or w.e

wintry solar
#

Really? :(

lone spear
#

yea, we back to old roll priority likely

#

2 buff andys, loaded dice stuff

wintry solar
#

Lame

lone spear
#

we had our tier of spam roll

#

now to rest

wintry solar
#

I don't want to rest. I want to roll.

lone spear
#

no ones stopping u ig

#

just less damage

#

xdd

cinder relic
#

LD with FB feels real good

#

Its cool that outlaw has so much random synergy all the time

wintry solar
#

Actually I can. I still top meters

lone spear
#

ye

#

like im the same on alt specs, ill take the 1-5% decrease if it means playing something more fun

#

outlaw doesnt really have those choices, cause rn the most fun is the optimal

wintry solar
#

Yeah for sure

#

Also

#

I don't always play without ace, I have a lot of different builds. I play every build because I like Outlaw that much.

neon oasis
#

hmm just played with a rogue that cast btw only 20 times in a cindewbrwe

brave lagoon
#

interesting playstyle

lone spear
#

a based no crackshot enjoyer

#

then again that wouldent even be high enough casts to keep buff uptime

wary bridge
neon oasis
#

his bte did less damage than authority of radiant power lol

brave lagoon
#

a true no guns, only swords build

neon oasis
lone spear
#

cause 20 times, say 20sec average duration, thats only 400sec so like 7min

cinder relic
#

The fatebound CDR feels like, legit perfect

#

Its chill

neon oasis
cinder relic
#

All the coin damage buff is huge too

gaunt phoenix
#

Fatebound is peak

random stirrup
#

blade rush

gaunt phoenix
#

in raid

lone spear
#

yea im excited for pure ST fights

sullen walrus
lone spear
#

tho i think theres only 1 pure st fight

#

saj

cinder relic
#

I mean we played fatebound in all content in season 1

brave lagoon
#

would fatebound be decent in keys again monkahmm

cinder relic
#

Its possible we play FB everywhere

gaunt phoenix
#

you take loaded dice and just roll if you can turn 1 buff into 2 buffs with loaded dice

cinder relic
#

Even if "Oh the fate intertwined loses damage" blah blah blah

wintry solar
lone spear
#

whole ass KS rework, its gonna be played

gaunt phoenix
#

maybe some extra rules to roll over like GM BT if loaded dice is active still

brave lagoon
#

it lowers haste reqs by a lot too playing fatebound no?

lone spear
#

which means trick played

torpid fiber
neon oasis
#

monitor off

wintry solar
#

Amazing

sullen walrus
#

but boys, they can change a lot of things for outlaw
it’s only ptr

cinder relic
#

Fatebound HO feels good

#

It feels like AR comes off CD right when the duration ends

sullen walrus
#

only kir omegalul garf_sit

lone spear
#

i think the worst feeling thing on ptr right now is trickster HO

#

its so hard to send a proper coup, or to even build up to one with the current rules, something likely will change to play around tier

cinder relic
#

Trickster felt fine, you just have to be more ignorant with ur UB usage

#

Being ignorant with all the procs might just be correct so idk

lone spear
#

yea that feels so weird

#

after the minmaxing been doing on live with it

cinder relic
#

Idk if its actually better

#

But its possible that being ignorant is better

#

Current HO is pretty ignorant with resources

zinc steeple
#

Im still trying to figure out how to optimally use coup

lone spear
#

sorta, mainly in that you just dont follow the same PS rules as KiR

#

hoping for a KiR tier

#

this tier was good in that both were really close

wintry solar
#

I think we got lucky tbh

lone spear
#

eh, partly

#

but with how big the divide can and has been

#

gotta give credit where its due

cinder relic
#

Its been close every tier for years

lone spear
#

realz did good job

cinder relic
#

Since abberus really

wintry solar
#

Well, if Guy says so.

clear zephyr
#

What about this critical rate? hahaha

cinder relic
#

It's also like

#

I'm sure we are going to have the usual "KIR IS DEAD" meltdown

#

and then KiR is fine

#

(this has happened every tier since abberus as well)

brave lagoon
#

just tried, it kinda slaps

wintry solar
#

I'll be playing both like I always do anyway so idk why I act like I care.

cinder relic
#

Just do ur best to combat the negativity okayge

brave lagoon
#

idk if it's meant to keep adr up 100% but it was easy to achieve

sullen walrus
#

kir trickster spell priory? coup- ks- coup?

wintry solar
#

I think it's the classic case of "I want what I play to be best"

cinder relic
#

99.9 uptime

#

even with KS (when it was working)

brave lagoon
#

I ran about 5 minutes on the dummy it canceled once

#

like, insta canceled the channel

fathom bramble
grim spear
#

Is it possible that we'll be playing KS with FB?

cinder relic
fathom bramble
#

like for all we look at these 2 builds they don't actually have that much power in the talents that differentiate them

cinder relic
brave lagoon
#

yeah I saw that message, I can't really notice it in real time but I believe it

cinder relic
#

KS in S1 for FB was a DPS increase

fathom bramble
#

which is part of why the 2 builds can be so close in value

cinder relic
#

ITs just KS was KS

#

and it was the worst ability ever

grim spear
#

I mean next tier

cinder relic
#

Yes but what I'm alluding to is the fact that possiblity isn't that absurd

#

We might, we may, we could

#

Nobody knows yet

#

KS is probably getting another 1-2 changes

fathom bramble
#

if they buff KS you will run it as FB too imo

cinder relic
#

My money is on yes KS for FB

lone spear
#

i mean im fine with that

cinder relic
#

But dont play KS on raid testing

brave lagoon
#

I mean, might as well use that fresh new reworked KS yeah

fathom bramble
#

right now the recent changes are just a massive trickster nerf

wintry solar
#

Even if it cancels ks?

thorny zinc
#

would KS have the same prio with FB?

lone spear
#

after playing KiR FB for the xpac, itll be nice to have something to spice it up

fathom bramble
#

and if they place more buffs on KS instead of generic trickster then it definitely makes you go it as FB and trickster

grim spear
#

gotta say I prefer Fatebound, but the new KS looks amazing.

fathom bramble
sullen walrus
#

why my ks always cancelled when i try to use it?

gaunt phoenix
sullen walrus
#

it’s cast like 0.3 sec wtf

lone spear
fathom bramble
#

it's possible that they buff KS enough to make it our highest prio though who knows

late swallow
#

Looking forward to tc’ing more stuff to doom about

wintry solar
#

Get out

cinder relic
#

I'm excited for the spec to play 0.2% different and it to be peoples 9/11

wintry solar

In pve I'm ambivalent tbh other than KS change. That's good.

lone spear

Falling is crazy

wintry solar
#

I do miss fb

plucky chasm
#

Just asking rn how it feels

proven ocean
proven ocean
#

unlike live where sin is better in vdh comps and outlaw in physical

#

i think sin is better everywhere now imo

#

only keys where sin might be bad is this new dung and tazavesh streets (not gambit)

#

thats my current wild guess ^

gaunt phoenix
#

how is the new dung

proven ocean
#

the dungeon pool is extremely good for sin atm

plucky chasm
#

Okay i never played both dungeons

proven ocean
#

its annoying af for melees

#

gaunt phoenix

proven ocean
#

# cinder relic FB is fun

Did they change stuff for next patch so that fb actually has an influence on what you do or is it still just an added rng to your DPS

gaunt phoenix
#

the rng part is pretty diminished

#

You just shit out coins idk

frail veldt
#

Oh that's good, so it's just a passive tree

gaunt phoenix
#

coins are fun

frail veldt
#

Lol I don't see them

#

I guess you get an extra cp from SS procs right

#

Currently fatebound is just as if an arbitrary amount of DPS is added to your meters at the end of the fight lol

late swallow
#

FB is based

vapid sundial
#

i was like

#

get ur old ass off here

late swallow
#

Pure vibes

vapid sundial
#

using facebook

late swallow
#

It’s actually Meta now Nerdge

wintry solar
#

Grandpa

vapid sundial
#

pretty sure

#

its facebook by meta

#

u rat

gaunt phoenix
#

Fatebound rewards good gameplay now

late swallow
#

Maybe ur right

gaunt phoenix
#

cause it makes AR and GS flip more coins

#

and lowers their cd

vapid sundial
late swallow
#

Facebook is bots and senile boomers shouting into the void

wintry solar
#

Hope it's more viable in M+ now

gaunt phoenix
#

It's not

wintry solar
#

Dang

gaunt phoenix
#

but i dont want to deal with lucky coin in keys

proven ocean
frail veldt
#

Makes fatebound unbearable in pugs

i have my straps off atm

proven ocean

frail veldt
#

Lol how much did you pay for your cable

proven ocean
#

this strap is so beautiful

#

but i need a bigger table and change my whole setup but i'll do that in maybe 4 months

#

then i think i'll have an actual good looking setup that matches the things i use

cinder relic
proven ocean
cinder relic
#

And yeah. Forcing capstone, shooting out a million coins now cuz gs

#

It's chill

proven ocean
#

cable wasnt cheap but let me check

cinder relic
#

U just play the spec, no sillyness

proven ocean
#

@frail veldt 55$

#

without tax

#

kinda expensive

#

but idk

wintry solar
proven ocean
#

not too worth imo

#

should've gotten them from a 3rd party

#

not from wooting themselves

#

but its aight i like it, quality isn't that great

#

the design and the materials look nice tho

cinder relic
proven ocean
#

i think i had issues with the cable once but i managed to fix it

#

not sure why might've been motherboard related (my pc)

late swallow
#

Real gamers used 25 dollar HP membrane keyboards

wintry solar
#

Cheap keyboards keep me humble

#

But bad headphones I refuse to play with

proven ocean
#

u can waste alot of money real quickly

#

i'd like to have another hobby but idk what to go for rn

#

wouldn't call any of that a hobby but

#

idk

#

@late swallow does it rain alot in ur country

late swallow

Depends on the season

ngl im surprised it improved the body too

#

im 100% sure my v60 is like

#

better than most cafe's atm

#

most cafe's dont make that good v60 tbh

#

its mostly just make v60 and sell it

#

im prob not as good as a proper barista tho

#

that i may need to get some coaching first

sudden fulcrum
#

yeah you gotta sim to find the best coffee beans for your coffee maker

proven ocean
#

ye thats what u should do

#

like

#

5 v60's in 1 day or someshit

#

prob more if ur rly serious

frail veldt
proven ocean
#

for espresso ye

#

but im into filter coffee

frail veldt
#

I feel like cafes rarely care about coffee

#

They more focus on espresso for quality

proven ocean
#

rly good baristas

#

we have aeropress championship winners and stuff

#

v60 r2, r3 world

proven ocean
#

was rly good

frail veldt
proven ocean
#

no

#

aeropress is like

#

compressed air into coffee

proven ocean
#

u press on top

frail veldt
#

It's like halfway haha

proven ocean
#

wdym its way different

frail veldt
#

Well in terms of the water to grinds ratio and it being more pressure oriented

#

Compared to drip or pour over coffee

proven ocean
#

idk im not that experienced in aeropress

#

i dont make it at home yet

#

no clue on the basics on it

#

i prob should get into it rly soon

#

i want to kinda learn everything

frail veldt
#

But yeah I think pour over is about as peak as you can get for coffee imo

#

I prefer it to aeropress

proven ocean
#

ye for sure

#

pour over is top notch

#

especially if ur having panama geisha beans holy shit

#

that shit is so good

#

like

frail veldt
#

And once you have the technique down the rest is just in bean quality

#

And grinder

proven ocean
#

most of those beans from panama are so good

#

alot of flavors

#

u taste random shit on every sip

frail veldt
#

But yeah pour over flavor is suuuuper rich

proven ocean
#

water matters alot

frail veldt
#

You mean like using intentionally non filtered?

#

I think the water isn't that relevant personally

#

Compared to beans lol

proven ocean
#

its mostly grinder > water > technique > coffee beans quality > filter paper quality i think?

frail veldt
#

No shot

late swallow
#

gotta love these bean names

frail veldt
#

Bean quality over all

#

Not even close

proven ocean
#

not even close

#

what are us aying

late swallow
#

yo bro these battery acid dog piss beans have such a floral body

proven ocean
#

beans legit dont matter mewo

frail veldt
#

I entirely disagree lol

#

That's ridiculous to say imo haha

#

Beans legit don't matter...

#

What

#

Bro

proven ocean
#

even chatgbt says it

frail veldt
#

Chat gpt is a goon

proven ocean
#

i think u didnt research about pour over much mewo

sudden fulcrum
#

chatgpt will probably tell you coffee beans are great on pizza too

proven ocean
#

beans legit dont matter

#

even world class baristas say it

frail veldt
#

I feel like the other things are like you can ruin the coffee if you fuck it up

proven ocean
#

lol

#

mewo

frail veldt
#

I think they're assuming you have decent beans in the first place

proven ocean
#

i think its a wild thing to say that grinder doesnt matter

sudden fulcrum
#

imagine doing all this when you could just drink some cold brew that is ready instantly and already tastes great

proven ocean
#

no lol

#

what

#

mewo

#

omg

#

ur either trolling

frail veldt
#

Like if you have old beans or way over roasted shit you can't do anything

proven ocean
#

or ur completely clueless

frail veldt
#

Why would people even care about the beans then lolol that's the most expensive part of the coffee

#

That's just nonsense

proven ocean
frail veldt
#

It's the thing you're bringing the flavor out of

proven ocean
#

if ur buying from a shit roastery

#

thats on you

#

mewo idk what ur talking about rn ur just yapping

sudden fulcrum
#

lots of people will tell you that over roasted beans are easy to find at Starbucks

proven ocean
#

no way u just said that

wintry solar
proven ocean
#

grinder matters SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH

#

for clarity

frail veldt
#

Brother what are you making if you don't have beans

proven ocean
#

its crazy

frail veldt
#

You're making hot water

proven ocean
#

brother

frail veldt
#

The fick

proven ocean
#

beans dont matter

#

at all

#

it sims 5% dps maybe

#

or 10%

#

grinder sims 50% dps

#

understand?

ripe ibex
#

grinder is main hand beans are bracers

proven ocean
#

let me explain it in outlaw terms ok

frail veldt
#

I agree grinder is big but all it's improving is the flavor you get from the BEANS

proven ocean
#

beans are slice and dice

frail veldt
#

It's still the beans

proven ocean
#

are u gonna play without it?

#

no

#

but

frail veldt
#

That's ridiculous lol

proven ocean
#

grinder is AR

#

and

#

water is rtb

frail veldt
#

Like there's a reason there's so many ways to make coffee

proven ocean
#

one question tho do u even make pour over at home

#

or do u just buy it

frail veldt
#

Yes

#

Wtf who buys pourover

#

I don't want some random making my pourover

wintry solar
proven ocean
#

im surprised u didnt look into youtube videos about pour over if ur saying beans matter all that much lol

frail veldt
#

If I have to buy coffee I buy espresso

frail veldt
#

I have that's just what I think still

proven ocean
#

water matters so much

#

mewo i think ur cooked bro

sudden fulcrum
#

ew drinking tap water is disgusting

#

not even filtered?

#

get out

frail veldt
#

Ofc filtered

wintry solar
#

I drink from a water hose when working outside so my standards are low

sudden fulcrum
#

buying a reverse osmosis water system was the first thing i did when i moved into my house

proven ocean
#

@frail veldt

#

read this

#

if u dont know james hoffman

#

thats on you

frail veldt
#

Exactly

#

You can fuck it up

proven ocean
#

?

#

wdym exactly

frail veldt
#

By having a bad grinder

#

But if you have even remotely decent stuff

proven ocean
#

good grinder is way more important than good beans bro

#

what are u saying

frail veldt
#

The rest of the variant and difference in flavor comes from changing beans

proven ocean
#

bro

#

all beans have flavors

#

idk what ur trying to say rn

#

like u can say u have beans preference in taste

#

but

#

i think ur overestimating "bad" beans

frail veldt
#

My take is like this

#

you can ruin coffee by having a shit grinder or shit water or shit technique

#

but as long as youre doing those mostly correctly

proven ocean
#

ok

#

let me ask u this mewo

frail veldt
#

doing it 80% correct to 90% correct is like a very marginal improvement

dawn talon
#

i can taste the difference between low and high quality beans very easily, but i also have a trained palate

frail veldt
#

and you see more flavor difference in bean variety

proven ocean
#

would u buy a wagyu beef and cook it in a broken microwave?

#

?

frail veldt
#

yeah you can fuck up a wagyu by cooking it wrong

#

but if youre even a decent cook

proven ocean
#

thats what using good beans on a blade grinder is gonna be

#

its gonna be dogshit

dawn talon
#

no but i wouldnt sous vide a $4 hamhock either

proven ocean
#

broken microwave

#

is

frail veldt
#

a decent cook using wagyu and a very talented chef cooking fucking old shitty cut of steak the wagyu probably turn sout better

proven ocean
#

gonna shit up ur wagyu beef

#

big time

frail veldt
#

Im not disagreeing

proven ocean
#

WHAT IS HE GONNA COOK

frail veldt
#

but im assuming youre not a fucking idiot

proven ocean
#

IN A MICROWAVE

#

WITH A FUCKING

frail veldt
#

thast not the example

proven ocean
#

WAGYU STEAK

frail veldt
#

why would you cook with a microwave

proven ocean
#

like

frail veldt
#

ofc

#

if you use

proven ocean
#

HOW IS IT NOT AN EXAMPLE

frail veldt
#

TOILET WATER

proven ocean
#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

frail veldt
#

your coffee is gona suck

#

BUT WHY

#

would you do that

proven ocean
#

ROIGTPLHKJNERTA;GOARIEU;GJMREAOK;LJM

#

bro

frail veldt
#

thats my whole fucking point

proven ocean
#

nah

frail veldt
#

youre agreeing with me lol

#

you can fuck up your coffee with a shit grinder or bad water

#

but you can only compensate with water/grinder/technique so much

#

once you have those at a decent level

#

the beans are a lot of the remaining variance in flavor

proven ocean
#

even chatgbt is saying it

#

like

#

idk what to tell u man

frail veldt
#

I would say a $3 etheopian tastes better than a POORLY brewed geisha

#

ofc you can ruin a wagyu

proven ocean
#

YES and what makes it poorly brewed?

#

grinder

#

water

#

etc

#

xdxdxdxdxdxdxdxdxdd

plucky chasm
#

Zeros bro waht macros u use for sin ?

proven ocean
#

xdxdxd

#

xd

#

xd

frail veldt
#

but that DOES NOT mean the meat doesnt matter

proven ocean
#

xd

frail veldt
#

like what

#

OFC the meat matters

#

im assuming fucking competence here

#

cuz thats whats relevant

#

it doesnt matter how bad a bad coffee is

#

im assuming youre at least making the coffee correctly

proven ocean
#

another champion

wintry solar
#

I'm learning so much from this

proven ocean
#

mewo

#

beans legit dont matter

frail veldt
#

think about it like this zeross

proven ocean
#

i never saw bad beans

frail veldt
#

they all have access to the same beans

proven ocean
#

in a rly long time

#

like

frail veldt
#

so the only thing theyre ocmpeting on

proven ocean
#

im not evfen kidding

frail veldt
#

is technique

#

and grind

late swallow
frail veldt
#

so ofc thats all that matters to them

proven ocean
#

all beans are rly close to each other mewo

#

idk what ur trying to say with "bad beans"

frail veldt
#

like if you said gear doesnt matter in wow

wintry solar
proven ocean
#

im genuinely confused

frail veldt
#

thats only true if everyone has the same gear

#

but if someone has 40 ilvl on you

#

and they are even half decent at their rotation

#

they will beat you

proven ocean
#

bro

frail veldt
#

no matter how perfect you are

proven ocean
#

grinder is like a unnerfed udk blood beast

#

big impact

#

630 ilvl will beat a 680 ilvl outlaw rogue

#

in big aoe

sudden fulcrum
frail veldt
#

not on overall

proven ocean
#

?

#

yes he will

#

lol

wintry solar
#

I get zeross tbh. It'd make sense if an evenly grounded coffee was more impactful.

frail veldt
#

how would you lose to a 630 ilvl uhdk

#

as 680 outlaw

#

what

proven ocean
#

pull big entire run

frail veldt
#

rofl youd have to be SO BAD

proven ocean
#

and its over

frail veldt
#

the perspectives youre echoing are from people who always have access to the best beans

proven ocean
#

mewo

frail veldt
#

so their entire focus is on improving the other controllable factors

proven ocean
#

i have a 25$ grinder

#

and a 800$ grinder

#

u have no idea

#

how big of an impact that makes on my v60

frail veldt
#

25 to 800 is ofc an insane difference

proven ocean
#

just saying

frail veldt
#

but james hoffman using a handgrinder could prob make a better coffe than you

#

so

#

what are you even saying

#

esp if you had shit beans

#

if you have shit beans

proven ocean
frail veldt
#

and an $800 grinder

#

no

proven ocean
#

yes u are

frail veldt
#

im saying even a cheap grinder

#

isnt that bad

proven ocean
#

hand grinders can be rly good

frail veldt
#

opposite

proven ocean
#

well

frail veldt
#

im saying outside of DOG SHIT

proven ocean
#

thats not true at all

frail veldt
#

bro hand grinders arent that bad thats my fucking point

#

even cheap grinders are pretty good

#

if you buy the right ones

proven ocean
#

i think i can make a better v60 if i have a 3000$ grinder and he uses a cheap ass 5$ grinder

#

from temu

#

than him

#

im 100% sure

frail veldt
#

yeah ofc if he uses a fucking TEMU grinder that doesnt even grind properly

#

but thats not thec omparison

#

AGAIN

wintry solar
#

I wish I had the funds to compare and contrast this myself

frail veldt
#

IM ASSUMING COMPETENCE

proven ocean
#

well even if its a 50$ grinder

frail veldt
#

half decent fucking quality equipment

proven ocean
#

i'll win big time

#

like

#

bro

#

those grinders

#

have insane flavor seperation

frail veldt
#

hoffman with a 25$ grinder nice beans and off the shelf filtered water will pour better than you with shit beans and the most expensive grinder on the planet

proven ocean
#

u taste 5 different flavors vs a 100$ grinder than brings 1 flavor on its best day

#

depends on how shit the beans are

frail veldt
#

wow crazy

#

hurr durr

proven ocean
#

bro idk what ur comparing with rn

#

cuz

frail veldt
#

hahahaha

proven ocean
#

most beans are rly good mewo

frail veldt
#

you said "beans dont matter AT ALL"

proven ocean
#

like if ur buying beans from starbucks

frail veldt
#

I think thats a fucking absurd statement

proven ocean
#

i'll make a shit v60

#

it'll taste like sand

frail veldt
#

bro do you not see how thats the same thing you just said

#

about a temu grinder

proven ocean
#

true ok

#

but

frail veldt
#

lol

proven ocean
#

mewo

#

grinders matter alot more

#

than that

#

because listen mewo

#

1 sec ok

#

cuz

frail veldt
#

I think you can get a pretty good grinder for not that much money

#

okay

#

I stop

#

listening

proven ocean
#

all beans are standard on speciality level of beans

#

u wont buy anything below that ever

#

unless ur broke af

#

for grinders, it depends on what u have

#

like

#

i genuinely think i can win a 25$ grinder james vs me on a 10000$ grinder same beans lets say

#

ok mewo whats ur reply

wintry solar
#

Damn, do they get that high?

proven ocean
#

but

#

if we both use

frail veldt
#

so same beans and a 9975$ difference in grinder

#

My point is this

proven ocean
#

10000$ grinder, i use 200$ beans, he uses 20$ beans he will win BIG TIME

proven ocean
#

vs 3k grinder

frail veldt
#

once you get the technique down, have a decent grinder, and use good water, you can get a LOT of variety of flavor just by changing beans and trying different origins

#

theres way more flavor variety in beans

proven ocean
#

100$ grinder hoffman, me on 3000$ grinder, same beans i win i think

frail veldt
#

than in the rest of the stuff as long as you do them correctly

frail veldt
#

for me the grinder, technique, and water all have a "correct" ish solution

proven ocean
#

3000$ grinder both of us, me 200$ beans, him on 20$ beans he wins by alot

frail veldt
#

the beans however offer a subjective variation

#

that is the actual interesting part to me

proven ocean
#

here?

frail veldt
#

I aim to brew "correctly" but I select beans for they all have something different to offer

#

theres no "correct" bean

#

which is why I say the bean matters the most

#

cuz its the personality of the coffee

#

its the source

#

its what everything is desigend around

#

you brew to get the flavor out of THE BEANS

proven ocean
#

mewo u may have coffee preference, i dont think what ur trying to say comes down to a good cup

#

because 20$ beans can bring a 10/10 cup, 200$ beans can bring a 10/10 cup

#

but

#

100$ grinder vs 1000$ grinder

#

thats a gamechanger

#

no matter what

#

its a big difference

#

rly big

frail veldt
#

Id rather spend the money on beans personally

#

I like trying different beans out

proven ocean
#

DOESNT MATTER WHAT U RATHER SPEND ON

#

WHAT

frail veldt
#

from many different origins

#

I think you get more out of your $

proven ocean
#

nah man theres no way u think that way

frail veldt
#

10000%

proven ocean
#

wait wait let me ask u a question then

#

because

#

i genuinely think ur a fermented beans enjoyer

#

arent u

frail veldt
#

nah

proven ocean
#

then?

frail veldt
#

I think thats novelty shit

proven ocean
#

what type of beans would u say are good

frail veldt
#

if you wouldnt want it every morning

#

I dont think its relevant

#

thats like "delicacy" stuff

proven ocean
#

ye well i like fermented but

frail veldt
#

delicacy is another word for tastes bad but is interesting once

proven ocean
#

not everyday shit

vapid sundial
#

i got 2 beans you can have

proven ocean
#

im curious tho

#

what kind of beans do u like mewo

frail veldt
#

I think if you dont want it every time then its not actually subjectively better

proven ocean
#

cuz im curious

frail veldt
#

like you would never intentionally brew worse

#

I like very nutty light roasts

#

its broad

#

but thats my preference

#

single origin nutty light roasts

wintry solar
proven ocean
#

mewo why aren't cafe's using different grinders btw?

#

u never realized that?

#

every good cafe

#

has this

frail veldt
#

yeah cuz theres a "correct" solution

proven ocean
#

legit every good cafe

#

then why dont they all use the same bean?

frail veldt
#

why arent all cafes using the same beans btw?

proven ocean
#

im confused???

frail veldt
#

EXACTLy

#

HAHAHHAHA

#

CUZ THE BEAN

proven ocean
#

???????????????????

wintry solar
#

The one I worked at had that one

frail veldt
#

MATTERS

proven ocean
#

beans dont matter

frail veldt
#

thats the variety

#

if it didnt matter

#

THEY WOULA LL USE THE SAME ONE

proven ocean
#

it matters to you

#

and only you

frail veldt
#

the beans are the personality

#

of the coffee

vapid sundial
frail veldt
#

the rest is just a means to see the personality

proven ocean
#

brother

#

mewo

frail veldt
#

youre proving my point rofl

proven ocean
#

ur talking like a casual coffee guy

frail veldt
#

there would be no reason to have different beans

#

if they didnt matter

proven ocean
#

its like ur saying omg i love ice cream it matters alot more than cotton candy because its cold and nice

wintry solar
#

Isn't the grinder the vessel for coffee personality?

proven ocean
#

but that legit doesnt matter

frail veldt
#

but there isnt an objectively better bean

proven ocean
#

and mewo

frail veldt
#

since its preference

proven ocean
#

doesnt understand that

#

because he thinks

#

beans make the best cup

unkempt cypress
#

🍿

proven ocean
#

and thats false

#

lmao

#

mewo

frail veldt
#

if theres no beans

#

theres no coffee

proven ocean
#

what makes a good v60 cup

#

is the grinder

#

not the beans

#

at all

frail veldt
#

what makes a bad cup

proven ocean
#

ur like legit clueless about this

#

its crazy

frail veldt
#

is a shit grinder

proven ocean
#

IROUHENTGJKALRE;GIKJAENWMRGJREKALM,NG RAWEJKGR

#

BRO

frail veldt
#

but after a point

proven ocean
#

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

#

no way man

frail veldt
#

the grinder stops mattering

proven ocean
frail veldt
#

thats just elitist shit

proven ocean
#

this guy

frail veldt
#

no one needs to spend more than $300 on a grinder

proven ocean
proven ocean
frail veldt
#

only if youve run out of good beans to try

proven ocean
#

and everyone spends the same on beans anyway

#

looooooooooooool

#

legit everyone

frail veldt
#

beans vary in price a lot too

proven ocean
#

and

#

?

frail veldt
#

like im not gona buy grocery store beans that have been on the shelf for months

#

no shot

proven ocean
#

brother

#

thats like going to buy a grinder from temu

#

same shit what is that ass comparison

wintry solar
#

Where am I suppose to get beans from?

frail veldt
#

yeah but also I think your return on investment for money spent on grinder falls off a cliff pretty quickly

wintry solar
#

From an outsiders perspective

#

To me

frail veldt
#

depends what you have nearby

#

id go to a coffee shop that has coffee you like

proven ocean
#

mewo

#

can u go ask chatgbt
