[gaunt gulch]

Stop it about the m98v!

That's so cool I didn't know that

Come to the step down basket dark side!

[jaunty ice]

Brought my oxo rapid brewer in my osprey with a hydro flask in the side pocket 🤦‍♂️

[nova wadi]

My 2 year old I was going to bring tomorrow just threw up everywhere so I’m likely out

[jaunty ice]

Hoping it spares you

[cedar olive]

My wife has the stomach bug and it’s her bday! Of all days!!

[nova wadi]

Oh no that sucks

[desert dawn]

I can also do the 19th. I can’t do the 24th but you guys are welcome to go and I can always catch David on one of the other days

[desert dawn]

I love my Osprey. I have the Daylite 26+6 and the Porter 46?

[plush sinew]

TBD my status today, but seems like everyone's dead or dying anyway 😂 Zo if you wanted to stop in next Sunday (26), I'm down - only got stuff on in the evening.

Is tomorrow even an option?

[desert dawn]

I think shift opening hours are 9-1

[nova wadi]

Real company man

Helen of Troy would be proud

[woven stone]

Thanks for stopping by today @desert dawn !

[cedar olive]

My wife is turning it around but I’m still on solo dad duty!!!

[jaunty ice]

You guys hanging in there today

[nova wadi]

Yeah she seems okay today. Not sure what last night was about but it was rough

[desert dawn]

Stellow was great! I enjoyed the vibe with a long bar to sit at and enjoy talking coffee.

Crew was all really nice and working really well together handling the non stop rush. I ran operations for so long it’s calming for me to see a good crew.

[nova wadi]

Really wanted to check out stellow with Zo

[desert dawn]

Let’s go again!

Side note. I also really enjoyed my spinach and cheese hot pocket.

Maybe we should just plan a tour and hit a bunch of shops and drive all over town 🧐

[nova wadi]

That would be so fun

[jaunty ice]

Talked myself out of the scenery drop. Don’t feel like figuring out the processy rawanda

[cedar olive]

^i did as well

Dongze releasing another sl9 soon that I’m gonna go for I believe

[jaunty ice]

My sl9 from sey tastes like sey

[desert dawn]

Oh no.

Wait, I think Oh no. Which one is it

I had one that I thought was wonderful from them. The brownish/orangeish color label

[jaunty ice]

My thankfully extra light sl9 was also too roasty for me. I think im just a whiner.

[desert dawn]

I didn’t have this one. I had the green one which was ok

[nova wadi]

Interesting I got this SL9

So many SL9s

[jaunty ice]

How is it?

[nova wadi]

Haven’t cracked it yet

Only like a week off roast

[nova wadi]

I can go tomorrow

[woven stone]

I won’t be at Stellow tomorrow. At an event in Rome

But feel free to drop by!

[drowsy jacinth]

was thinking of swinging by too lol

[sharp jasper]

I can go on the 26th if you're still game?

@desert dawn I can drive if you want to carpool. 😂😂

@woven stone what days will you be working the shop this week?

[nova wadi]

I can do 26th

[woven stone]

Monday and Friday

[nova wadi]

I could do Monday morning. Wide open Friday

[drowsy jacinth]

Friday is grand opening right ?

[woven stone]

Correct. Monday is still soft opening 9-1

[gaunt gulch]

Sorry couldn't make the opening yesterday @woven stone apparently it was a crazy day for all of us

[gaunt gulch]

I got this one last shipment. Haven't opened it yet

[woven stone]

NP!

[nova wadi]

Remind me to never send you my roasts

[jaunty ice]

Right? I feel like an 🫏

[nova wadi]

Haha I’m just playin

It’s such a hard line to walk where your beans to be easy to brew and to develop flavors but not make it roasty

Been going back and forth on wanting to make something light and easy to extract vs something ultra light

Most of the people who I give coffee fall in the camp of just needing it to be easy

What do you think about Aviary’s roasting style? @jaunty ice

[jaunty ice]

It’s darker than I prefer but I like it. Seems like he dials in the roast to the beans (I assume most do?) so there is bag to bag variation? I struggled with the chiroso after singing its praises not sure what happened there. The pink bourbon is superb. I’ve been using #23 as if it’s seasoning, adding a few beans to anything that’s boring.

[desert dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/chef-sprinkle-seasoning-cooking-gif-17395406

season it up

[nova wadi]

I didn’t know you were dweller level

Before I found this discord I was drinking the darkest roasts I could get my hands on so maybe thats why I’m less sensitive to it

[jaunty ice]

Yeah. I know I’m not quite dweller but I do think on some level I’m bad at real coffee.

Like I’m not used to dialing it in so I’m not making the adjustments I should and I don’t feel like experimenting- I just relegate the too dark stuff to milk drinks

[nova wadi]

Eh I don’t dial much either

[jaunty ice]

Thanks to Zo’s encouragement I’ve been grinding finer™ for the dweller roasts with a bit of success. But if I’ve reached that point I’d rather just have the roast go a little longer.

I think my absolute favorite bag of beans at the moment is my shoebox Burundi and I ordered three more bags

[nova wadi]

Ah I should have grabbed one. I can’t resist Ají so I snagged a bag

[nova wadi]

Which one

[jaunty ice]

https://shoebox.coffee/products/burundi-mutana-hill-washed

Fragrancia looking good too, I enjoyed mine from scenery

[woven stone]

Lmk if yall are stopping by today

I will for sure be there Friday

[cedar olive]

Dude this coffee was so insanely good 😭😭😭

As was muninya

[gaunt gulch]

When does that subscription start?

[jaunty ice]

I received two bags already

[gaunt gulch]

Nice

[gaunt gulch]

Oh shit my deep 27 getting delivered today. What recipe people using?

[nova wadi]

#1436385688634261536 message

[gaunt gulch]

Thanks! About what micron you starting out at?

[woven stone]

It’s v quiet here today

The weekend was wild

Arts festival really brought in sooooo many people lol

[woven stone]

Yes you should

I played with one at Sey House.

Perfect for like 1 cup tbh

[gaunt gulch]

I found it cheaper at perc than amazon

[woven stone]

Yall see the coferment drama with perc/in general on Reddit?

It kinda makes sense honestly. Apparently most fruits don’t impart that much flavor to the green beans

[jaunty ice]

The video?

Wait a minute some “coferments” are infused 😳

[sharp jasper]

Can you ping me the link?

If you have it handy?

[woven stone]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pourover/comments/1sn3dny/colombian_coffee_processing_cofermentation_and/

[nova wadi]

I’ll be honest, I’ve never known how to figure this out

I just do a little finer than V60

[gaunt gulch]

I think Bailey said the df64 was 10.54 mu/tick and I just measured burr lock for me at -5 and do it from there.

[nova wadi]

Ive got MP Churros

[woven stone]

it was the thread in response to it

i still have yet to watch the video

[sharp jasper]

Fascinating!!

[jaunty ice]

It’s too long, thread is enough

[woven stone]

yea, gist is that things are being added. some roasters are transparent, some are not

[jaunty ice]

I wonder if the Edwin Noreña watermelon coferment was infused. It tasted like watermelon candy it was a chore to finish

[woven stone]

secret ingredient....

[plush sinew]

Look I'm not saying The South is Rising Again, but... (mods furiously opening their context menus to ban me just in case)

...Thankfully is roasting up some real bangers down yonder (even non EL ones!), Roasters cropping up all over ATL and various FL 'burbs (s/o zo and my fellow "ggles" guy wiggles), and in my highly nuanced and objective opinion, Atlanta coffee shops are improving more rapidly than atlanta house prices. So maybe this hellish landscape really is the future...

and like north carolina coffee is still dope or whatever, but let's be real, if you've got NORTH in your name, you don't get to be the South (again, highly objective and nuanced)

[desert dawn]

Worse to me is how many dont even mention coferm. They just do it.

Like by that I dont mean roaster, the producers/farmer level will add stuff to coffee to flavor it

[nova wadi]

Wow honored to be included this haha

[plush sinew]

easy to show love to anyone getting their own green and putting themselves out there with roasting it! Tough gig, but good, fun science, whether it's hobby or industry.

[gaunt gulch]

This is bullshit @desert dawn . I mean they are still great as always but I'm tired and just want to eat my take out

[desert dawn]

Use the toaster oven method. I swear it works

I can fit 4 at a time in my little Breville

Wait you have a different paratha though 🧐

[gaunt gulch]

Yeah I'm saying I need to get some Costco ones

[jaunty ice]

I like to take the paratha and cook it in a hot pan and then dump some eggs on it. Usually do this with Chinese pancake though.

[desert dawn]

Parthas and eggs go great together. I discovered the ones at Costco and really like them. They are more par cooked and a little thicker

[gaunt gulch]

Love this. You making the pancakes?

[gaunt gulch]

Tried a 7g cup from lance and 7g cup from Brian Quan and I think with this sey, I prefer the BQ (which is finer than v60 vs coarser) and then half dose, wdt then at a minute repeat

[jaunty ice]

from scratch? No. I-mei brand https://sameday.hmart.com/store/hmart/products/2601843-imei-oriental-sesame-pancake-110-g usually avoid the one with chives as the chives just don't seem to work frozen.

buford hwy farmers market in doraville has it on occasion near the dumpling wraps to the right of the mochi. H-mart often has it though supplies have been limited recently.

[desert dawn]

Looks pretty! So far I do 8g or 10g. I find 10g to be a little more forgiving.

It’s funny you mention liking BQ recipes.

David and I met BQ briefly at expo. His buddy brewed a wave washed sidra and I didn’t like it - a loud mineral flavor. BQ brewed but added a melodrip and I really enjoyed the cup. David said it was way more balanced

Has me debating using my melodrip again

[gaunt gulch]

Lol everything feel like comes in cycles, I do v60, then ORBover, then v60 melo, now deep27.

I think that bq has been a brewer of sey for so long that his recipes for then specifically work pretty well for me.

[gaunt gulch]

Did he melodrip a v60 or did he use that melodrip brewer. That crazy clarity brew?

[gaunt gulch]

@woven stone how are things going? It's this y'all's first physical space?

[woven stone]

This weekend and Monday were good, but busy. We had a ton of people over the weekend due to the art arts festival in Chamblee, and Monday just felt like a normal day during the sof open

We open again on Friday, which is the grand opening that starts our normal hours

[shadow matrix]

Just landed in ATl and staying in West midtown. Suggestions for coffee shops? I like ULs, washed or natural is fine

[cedar olive]

Welcome to ATL!! If you’re on the Westside (I live here!) you should visit auxiliary if it’s not too far for you. They have had roasters like Hex and Sorelina which are generally pretty light. Not a ton of UL options in ATL tbh.

[desert dawn]

It was at the sworks/moonwake booth so they were using sworks dripper

[sharp jasper]

So how many of ya'll ATL folks have the H&S subscription? Cause dang, these UL bags have been pretty clean tasting. (I am working through the March bags now, April bags are resting.)

[gaunt gulch]

I've only got sey. Trying to get in on that shoebox sub to see if I want to keep with them

Have been getting fairly hollow pourovers with them right now but then had a very lively one on the deep 27 yesterday so I think it's a skill issue

[desert dawn]

I’m on norml joocy, aviary, and airworks but i think i need to change it up

I’m not getting through it all

@woven stone for any that are interested

[woven stone]

Sold out really quick!

But still good pricing on their new ones

My Pearl is still running strong

@desert dawn By the way, I sent your samples from Expo to a buddy of mine in Los Angeles and he said the jijon was really great!

Made him a little box of coffee since he couldn’t make it this year

[desert dawn]

Pepe was hitting that weekend. Overall loved Pepe that weekend it was great to taste it against all the other roasters. The png was completely closed and didn’t enjoy it.

Weird thing was at home the PNG was hitting and I thought going to be the crowd pleaser. As soon as I got home tried them all again and PNG was great again 🤷‍♂️

[jaunty ice]

Gotta get to ~1000 feet in elevation for maximum flavor

[nova wadi]

Same. I have way too much coffee. It’s impossible to drink it all and sample your own imo

I’ve got aviary, Airworks UL, and H&S

Might drop Airworks idk

Happy to send anyone here samples of anything

[jaunty ice]

Still works with the crack

[nova wadi]

Yeah got the same response

Wish they’d use triton or something

[jaunty ice]

I put a pause on airworks, just have aviary and shoebox at the moment.

[jaunty ice]

What did you crack?

[nova wadi]

Same piece

Mines not as bad though. Cracked when I was pulling it apart

[jaunty ice]

I was just tying to share ❤️Ben Paz with my employees

[desert dawn]

That’s a big crack

[jaunty ice]

I was really worried that would happen eventually

[jaunty ice]

If I twist it closes. It’s fine if I do t let it get too high. I could probably use some kind of food safe adhesive/tape? but also I think when it bites the dust I’ll just buy another automatic

[nova wadi]

Got a second one since I took this picture lol

[jaunty ice]

Oh. I’ve accumulated 4 of these too

I was wondering if they were already there or cracks

The high up cracks don’t really matter since water doesn’t accumulate that high

[nova wadi]

Idk imo if your product is cracking from just regular use you should replace it

But that’s my view

[jaunty ice]

Oh definitely but they all crack I’m sure

So they can’t replace it since their business would fail

[desert dawn]

Buy another automatic

Like def get another or something else

[nova wadi]

Haha true

[jaunty ice]

I’m gonna use this until it’s causing me grief. The longer I wait the better the machines get

I’m like an every other day+ espresso machine user now. I don’t recognize myself. I’m glad I didn’t buy something expensive over $1000 😮‍💨

[nova wadi]

Kinda want to break my espresso machine back out

[jaunty ice]

I’ve been exploring some of the peanut roasts on espresso. I don’t think I quite have the right grinder for it though

[nova wadi]

Yeah I want to try those as well. Also I’ve never used my DF64 MPs for espresso so just curious what it would taste like

Shoebox espresso probably isn’t good but I still want to try it for myself

[jaunty ice]

When maxwheel roasted for jimmy beans that’s when I figured out that there’s a limit on how light you can go and still be able to add milk.

But I think dweller usually posts blinding photos of his resulting espresso cup

[nova wadi]

I kinda want a flair

[jaunty ice]

I really like utilizing fresh water rather than having it sit in a tank. I’m sticking with my flair until there’s something tankless and more polished.

I suggest buying used, might need to swap o rings (I have some I can mail you). There are also Black Friday and CM deals.

Robot also worth considering if you can obtain one.

My work flow for the flair is lift the lever and power it on and make some soup or filter. Boil water and heat cup, prepare milk if needed, pour, dump hot water, stick it on the scale making sure nothing is touching the sides or your weight measurement gets impacted by your pull.

Pull shot, remove cup, place drip cup (huge mug with a broken handle) turn off espresso (I have it plugged into a smart plug so I can kill it remotely with a timer or on demand)

My shots are a lot cleaner now with the introvert step down basket

[nova wadi]

I really don’t like having to preheat so I’d want the flair+

[jaunty ice]

Old photo but I love this mat

[jaunty ice]

I have the plus, gotta let it warm up still

And you need to boil water to your desired temp and add it doesn’t heat water in the chamber

[nova wadi]

It pre heats without water though right? Something I hated with my picopresso was having to use my coffee water I boiled just to pour it out

[jaunty ice]

Yeah you can preheat the chamber. People complain about some differences in temp within the chamber but at least it’s hot without using hot water

[nova wadi]

Yeah that sounds fine to me

[jaunty ice]

That’s a knock against the robot too

[nova wadi]

Flair+ seems ideal. Do you notice a difference in soup with RB vs Flair?

[cedar olive]

I haven't been brewing at all on the gabi recently....v60 just been too good. But also to my surprise, I've found an incredible aeropress recipe that produces insanely clean cups

[jaunty ice]

I’ve never made it with flair. Too easy with oxo

[desert dawn]

Tbh, I always think about tinkering with espresso. But I remember the work.

Drank a lot of espresso at expo. I only liked the ones pulling soup the rest just seemed no bueno on the palate now

The best soup is still Oxo atm. On a machine soup was inconsistent - on/off water flow, turn this lever, push that button etc resulted in mistakes by people far more pro than me

[nova wadi]

doooo iiittttt

[nova wadi]

same actually. been on a major v60 kick

that and ORB

[jaunty ice]

Alright. I’ll try Ben Paz maybe this weekend

[nova wadi]

ty ty

If its solid I may be getting one

[desert dawn]

To me v60/d27 is the easiest so it gets the most use.

Oxo too much work and sucky clean up

[jaunty ice]

What filters for deep 27? Edit: oh cafec deep 27 filters

I really don’t mind the oxo work flow, with two filters it comes out cleanly into the compost. V60 easier and less parts though

[nova wadi]

Yeah I dont mind oxo either

today Ive done 1 V60, 1 Orea O1, 1 Oxo, and 1 Deep 27

Variety is the spice of life they say

[jaunty ice]

I do not enjoy dialing in. I do enjoy as many cups as possible with as many different beans as possible

[nova wadi]

All of these were different beans also

Orea O1 - Aviary #024 Washed PB
V60 - TPC Inmaculada Wash Geisha
OXO - Frequent Washed PB Decaf
Deep 27 - H&S El Diviso PB

Didnt realize it was a PB day

[jaunty ice]

The agricola is a touch toasty but quite tasty. I see it on the airworks coffee with ply

I paid $25 for 100g... hmm maybe a different agricola panama washed gesha

[desert dawn]

Two AP filters I always have leftover grinds stuck inside

[jaunty ice]

I swipe my finger around the edges in the sink

Usually once over the compost bin if it’s more than a bit

[desert dawn]

That that’s about what I have to do too

[jaunty ice]

Coarser grounds also easier to deal with than soup fine

[desert dawn]

All- if my labels come in time I’m going to release coffee Saturday 10am.

I may release some other coffee under “Oops” that does not have a label.

Will let you guys know by Friday

[cedar olive]

dude aviary 024 has been insane

[jaunty ice]

I had it this morning and loved it

[nova wadi]

So good

Favorite of the day actually

[desert dawn]

All my aviary is just sitting

[jaunty ice]

Looking forward to 25

[nova wadi]

Yeah I feel bad about my Aviary as well so I've been making a point to try to brew it more often

Really need to be brewing my stuff

[gaunt gulch]

How did it compare to others?

[gaunt gulch]

I've got a 'plastic welder' but in this case I don't think it'll make it nicer looking.

[gaunt gulch]

I need to get something like that for my tool tray

[gaunt gulch]

How would y'all rate aviary to shoebox? Those are the two I've been interested in supplementing

@jaunty ice I tried my sey Peruvian sl9 on the deep 27 (12g) and it was tasty (despite being not quite dialed in).

I can bring some by the hospital if you're interested in trying

[gaunt gulch]

Got that local pickup option set up...

[desert dawn]

I think my roast on Pepe was enough to show I did really well. I choose a slightly darker version that I thought would be more open by show time. I was a guest brewer at Roest so not on my equipment or water.

I think you guys tried one version pretty fresh off roast at my place?

[desert dawn]

I didn’t do local pick up. I’m still thinking about it. My schedule sucks and I would hate to roast a bag and it sits cause we can’t meet up

I did add free shipping on orders over $30 AND I took your advice I’m releasing “mistakes” with this release.

“Mistakes” will be released under “oops” category

[gaunt gulch]

Lol I'm 1000% on board with the idea but I don't want credit for calling it mistakes lol

[desert dawn]

This release will have an “Oops” from Aida Battle that you all tried. You guys liked it and I was on the fence about it.

I’m going to do it for $10/100g - will not have official label on it at this time.

It’s not a mistake on the roast. I just don’t like the green as much but that shouldn’t stop people from enjoying her coffee who might like it.

Aida Battle will be freshly roasted to order. It will be roasted at the end of Omni light almost start of UL territory (134 agtron on my Omix).

This is the lighter end of Thankfully roasts, a pinch lighter than Sey, about where TPC Omni option is

The Honey Gesha is a lot lighter at 148 agtron. I am going to offer it at $15/100g.

I am keeping the cost really low on this coffee to spread the word and spread the love

[jaunty ice]

Well that was unpleasant. Went a bit finer than typical but not fine enough. As I feared water just started leaning into the puck and then out of the portafilter. I probably need to go a lot finer if they can pull it off on the robot which is similar

Now I have to clean up all this coffee juice

[nova wadi]

Oh no 😭

Chet’s the resident Flair Soup expert

[jaunty ice]

Output wasn’t bad though I missed the initial output since it went on to my scales

I just ran the maximum fill volume through 20g since it’s like 90mL

[drowsy jacinth]

I am splitting some with my friends who lives in other state and i think we might have froze it too early lol

[sharp jasper]

Yeah i find it does need a full 3-4 weeks to rest at room temp.

But it stays juicy for a month or more imo

[drowsy jacinth]

i was struggling to find the tasting notes on the wush wush when i brew but yeah i think we prob only rested it in room temp for a week or two

and it just has been sitting in the freezer as i work through the stock pile

though there isn't any vegetal or a "too light" of taste, which was something i was afraid of that i didn't rest it right

[desert dawn]

Today I did a soup shot and fairlife chocolate milk in the nano foamer pro for my wife.

Tasted it and not bad but this choc milk didn’t steam like regular milk

[plush sinew]

can confirm. But otherwise the robot was such an easy breezy beautiful covergirl. I miss it. o well, BACK TO SOUP.

[plush sinew]

dawg, just simple* syrup + cocoa powder. easy choccy

* (2:1 if you're a psycho like me)

[desert dawn]

I had in the fridge for my daughter and thought why not

My daughter is lactose intolerant (like me) and has been sneaking chocolate milk and strawberry milk at school - sometimes both in one day. Then comes home and complains she’s sick

I’m not a big milk person so even regularly keeping fairlife milk in the fridge for the kids has been an adjustment

[gaunt gulch]

Same man. Asian lactose intolerant squad

[jaunty ice]

I have four cartons of lactaid brand 2% milk in the fridge

I used to buy Publix but my oldest insists that the lactaid brand tastes the best,

[desert dawn]

Milk. Does a body no good.

[gaunt gulch]

We've been using the Kroger simple truth lactose free

I buy fairlife for yogurt making though

Honestly I haven't tasted it and my kids have slowly migrated away from milk in general

[sharp jasper]

@woven stone when do yall open tomorrow??

[woven stone]

7

Early

[desert dawn]

Good luck tomorrow!!!

[sharp jasper]

I'm going to try and swing by!

[drowsy jacinth]

see ya in the afternoon

[gaunt gulch]

What time you going? I've got to hit up h mart.

[sharp jasper]

Just got here. 😅

Its pretty busy!

[gaunt gulch]

Ha probably not going to make it unless you're there for another hour plus

[sharp jasper]

Naw I gotta be at work by 8. .. Sorry man!!

[gaunt gulch]

Dude no worries

[desert dawn]

Get to work man. Stop slacking at the coffee “bar”

[sharp jasper]

7am bar and 6pm bar. Different drinks. 😂😂

[desert dawn]

One to take you up, one to take you down

In the middle is just survival

[nova wadi]

How bout them Hawks

[jaunty ice]

I think in going to skip the h&s sub. Aviary plus shoebox should do it for me

[woven stone]

Thanks for stopping by @gaunt gulch and @sharp jasper

I’ve not stopped moving since 7 AM

[gaunt gulch]

Ha I bet man

[woven stone]

[nova wadi]

Heresy

You’re right though I think 2 subs is more than enough. Think I’m going to pause my Airworks

H&S, Avairy, and Wiggles Coffee Roasters LLC

[jaunty ice]

Price increase made me cancel

[nova wadi]

Yeah I was on the fence already but that was like okay yeah probably time

I do kinda want this H&S exclusive though…

[jaunty ice]

Big Sur waiting for me at home I gotta get out of here

[desert dawn]

My first Big Sur I believe was a Kenyan from airworks sub. It was a banger.

I didn’t have to work for the cup. Just came out great

[jaunty ice]

I think I might have an afternoon cup

[nova wadi]

I’ve got some bags here I need to finish and I’ve got some coming today with a cup

[jaunty ice]

Leicht arrived too

[desert dawn]

FYI, I got the labels for the Honey Gesha.

I am on track to release tomorrow morning at 11 AM. I am keeping the quantity low to fulfill orders quickly. Also, I will release the Aida Battle at $9/100g for anyone interested. Aida is 2025 crop it was UL at my house, but I am going to push it more Nordic to bring out a little flavor.

[sharp jasper]

The coffee was great!

[nova wadi]

I didn’t know Counter Culture was sold in Krogers

[drowsy jacinth]

agree the coffee was great

they were very busy in the afternoon 😂

[peak field]

Yeah I’d see counter culture in target too

Not as fresh off roast as whole Foods tho

I’ve seen Whole Foods stock it 3 days off roast

[desert dawn]

I’ve seen target, Whole Foods, can’t remember sprouts. Never Kroger

[desert dawn]

Wow. The most I saw was 2-3 weeks off roast

[jaunty ice]

Counter culture is at the fresh market as well

[gaunt gulch]

Had a great time yesterday @woven stone. is the PO a 30g dose?

[woven stone]

Yes. 30g

[jaunty ice]

#1 that looks elite. I can’t wait to go. #2 look at the crowd. I’m gonna try to Marta and bike one day. Hope it’s opened on Tuesdays.

[gaunt gulch]

I took more photos but...I didn't nail the focus sorry lol

The lines were pretty much out the door

[woven stone]

It is. 7-4

[sharp jasper]

Chamblee? Cause I've seen that too!

Sometimes even the med-light stuff makes a solid 18g in 36g yield shot.

[peak field]

Avalon Whole Foods for me

What is the story behind Mr Roger’s photo

This was my first shot. Looks goopy. Tasted terrible.

I had to Un-grind finer. 🤣🤣

[desert dawn]

When you do 1:1 on a dark roast is it fast flow

Site going live now

[woven stone]

It’s Clinton‘s childhood hero. So his mom got him a signed photo back in the day.

[sharp jasper]

Usually 1:1 in 20-24 seconds.

This was 18g to 9g in 30 seconds.

[cedar olive]

@desert dawn just got my order in 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[jaunty ice]

@desert dawn you have to hit check out to engage free shipping >$30 with Apple Pay. Not really a huge issue but interesting.

[nova wadi]

Got mine in too

[nova wadi]

What’s the PO coffee

[sharp jasper]

Just ordered mine too! And feel free to drop mine off if you'd prefer to save on shipping.

[woven stone]

https://bellwoodcoffee.com/products/peru-los-laureles

[desert dawn]

Interesting. Im going to try it on other peoples shopify to see if its the same or different

Not sure what shipping rules to change to make it different

[jaunty ice]

Just have to click into checkout rather than select Apple Pay right off the bat

That’s weird it’s not doing it to me this time 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ohhh

If you click Apple Pay from the cart it doesn’t give free shipping

[desert dawn]

Weird

[jaunty ice]

If you click checkout then you don’t get charged for shipping from checkout

[desert dawn]

Everyone who ordered today I’m going to throw in a sample of Ngomano Factory, Washed, Kenya. This one wont release here in the States

The official production version will be a little lighter (easier to taste earlier if you a pinch “darker”)

[cedar olive]

Heck yeah - thanks @desert dawn

[jaunty ice]

Was this the one I tried?

[nova wadi]

Releasing internationally?

[desert dawn]

Not roasted by me

[desert dawn]

If all goes well - yes🤞

[sharp jasper]

Dang! @desert dawn thank you for the generosity!

[desert dawn]

Yall are welcome just small samples. I don’t have enough of this to release here too.

It’s a fly crop. In between seasons harvest. Turned out to be really interesting. Savory floral spice

[sharp jasper]

This same day delivery deal is pretty dope. 🤠

I think Zo beat Amazon same day...

[desert dawn]

Yall move to the area it has perks

[nova wadi]

Conventional wisdom says it needs rest but I’ve been loving my day of brews

[desert dawn]

True

There is a short time period right after roasting that it’s a nice example of taste

[desert dawn]

Wait. I just informed the website says sold out.

Did anyone miss out?

I confused. I thought I set this up properly

Wow. Changed my address on the site earlier today and it made it sold out

https://tenor.com/view/shoot-myself-gif-14944287

[plush sinew]

This sounds like OTPropaganda and I won't stand for it!

[desert dawn]

You mean you don’t want a rooster for a neighbor. Cock a doodle doo all day.

[plush sinew]

Idk we got plenty of suburban chicken coops round these parts

[nova wadi]

I’d go crazy if I had a rooster near me

[woven stone]

A house three doors down from me had 4 hens

Cool seeing them walking around the front yard in Roswell of all places

[plush sinew]

@woven stone you workin today?

[woven stone]

Nope. At an event for the Gwinnett stripers baseball team

[gaunt gulch]

That's so cool

[plush sinew]

Welp fine then I won't say hellostellow

But still gonna grab a coffee 😛

[nova wadi]

I keep forgetting you’re by me

[gaunt gulch]

Duck dude. I set my phone down mid order.

Did you say you were sold out or it was a glitch

[desert dawn]

Glitch. I have plenty. I only released what I could roast and ship out by Monday (like Shoebox)

[desert dawn]

I read this as Gwinnett strippers baseball.

Had to re read cause my mind thought we went from Savannah bananas to Gwinnett stripping at baseball??

[woven stone]

Bananas might start stripping

[woven stone]

Grana one night???

[nova wadi]

Dude I’m down

[gaunt gulch]

Ok good I was about to be pissed.

[desert dawn]

WELL… the upcoming drops I have very minimal 😬

[cedar olive]

What’s on deck @desert dawn

[desert dawn]

I have already roasted/tasted these so they will be up coming unless sometime changes.

By change I mean if book an event I will allocate these coffees there. I don’t have enough inventory of green to release publicly and supply a pop up

-Rexon Raguni, Papua New Guinea washed
-From the same Juliana as the honey Gesha I have a Java

Both are in very limited quantities

PNG is stone fruit that to me is like apricot, champagne like acidity, and some kind of cola or spice depth happening.

Java is interesting but I struggled with tasting notes. After resting/tasting a bunch. I narrowed it down to Guava fruit, lots of sweetness too that comes through like caramel, and this tartness from green apple

I got some other things in the pipeline too that some of you may see samples of 🤫

[gaunt gulch]

Sometimes I get why people think we're too much, but... I'm totally trying this. https://youtu.be/0HdzJz_evNw

[woven stone]

Same

[gaunt gulch]

Hope you're ready for steamed water skimmed espressov Americano at the shop

[woven stone]

$25 steamed americano

[jaunty ice]

I wonder if a milk frother could have a similar impact

[nova wadi]

I got a decaf americano from Crazy Love the other day and it was so damn hot I couldn’t even hold the cup

Tasted fine

Only decaf option they had and I didn’t want a milk drink

[woven stone]

Ok. Just tried a back to back at home.
One Americano was made the traditional way with included Crema and just hot water from my brew group. The other Americano was made the way James did. I think removing the Crema does a lot of of the work to be honest.

And the lower water temp in general

[desert dawn]

Taste difference?

Project Zero in Australia pre-pulls shots, removes crema and then puts them in some kind of tap system like a keg.

Steamed milk I believe an Uber Milk.

They are famous for speed and quality

[woven stone]

A brighter taste to me sans crema

[nova wadi]

Crema been taking a lot of hits lately

[desert dawn]

I think Lance got a prototype that he was showing on a live but I had to sign out for a call

I see me and Wiggles

Fruggles

[gaunt gulch]

@desert dawn Bismillah og kitchen still rocks. Although I always forget not give into gluttony for the combo and that I prefer the shawarma one.

[desert dawn]

Wow, I still havent been.

My brother in law talks about it too

Need to go

What did you get

[gaunt gulch]

Chicken and lamb shawarma combo.

Should have just gotten the chicken shawarma one which I think is the yellow (not red) which is my preference

Happy to go back

[desert dawn]

Good to know

Its closer than I expected

[plush sinew]

🤔 ATL Eatficionados meetup location... 🤔

[desert dawn]

Gotta take some acid reflux meds first

[gaunt gulch]

I'm so down, but not sure how many will fit us in the oh kitchen

[desert dawn]

I guess it’s time to have a cupping and cookout combined.

[desert dawn]

My dosing tray broke. I want a bigger one for a replacement. Any recommendations?

Wants:
Not plastic
XXL
Under $25?

[nova wadi]

https://a.co/d/08Bc8CIZ

I have the small one and like it a lot. The large one looks like it can hold 30-35g

[desert dawn]

I want the bigger one from loveramics that holds 60g, but you have to buy it as a 2 pc set for $50

No, I do not plan on doing such large doses. But the tiny one disappears and the xxl 3d printed one I saw moonwake using has had my eye.

When you RDT it’s a better shake/distribution. It’s huge and hard to lose. Sometimes beans popcorn out of a dosing tray when pouring - can’t have that

[jaunty ice]

I’m using the large one. Looks identical to this.

[jaunty ice]

I see BQ use those metal trays a lot

[jaunty ice]

I can’t find it but it’s literally a metal tray

[desert dawn]

Does it have flared sides?

[nova wadi]

Zoo Atlanta getting pandas again

Hype

[jaunty ice]

Among the first things we did when visiting Atlanta for the first time in 2008 was see the pandas.

[desert dawn]

Yeah I saw that. I think date not defined though

[desert dawn]

Like a baking sheet tray…?

[jaunty ice]

No smaller, this isn’t the one I was thinking of but same idea

[desert dawn]

Ah ok

I want one I can cover with me hand and shake for Rdt distribution

Out of curiosity. If you have a 3d print file… people offer printing in other materials right? Like not plastic

[jaunty ice]

Just plastic as far as I know

[desert dawn]

Look under the dosers. This is what I’m after

Massive dosing trays

[woven stone]

Where’s that?

[desert dawn]

Moonwake, you like? I know you do haha

He uses his engineering background to make all kinds of things.

[woven stone]

I have a sample from them I got at WOC

Need to visit one day I’m in CA.

[desert dawn]

Do you see the tilt and pads under the EK. It’s awesome.

[woven stone]

Woah. Cleaver

[desert dawn]

There are so many little details around his shop. It’s cool

[jaunty ice]

This one is 60g https://usshop.loveramics.com/products/champions-signature-set-of-2-beans-dosing-trays

[desert dawn]

One of the helpful things they did for crowd control that be helpful for you is there is only line taped off to go to the counter AND then you grab a table. Like taqueria del sol

Ya I want that one. If they sold it in a single I would buy it

I don’t actually need 60g. But I like how you could shake it. The small ones you have to shake shake shake to properly mix

[jaunty ice]

If you do buy it I’ll split it and take the smaller one

[desert dawn]

Do you want 3 by chance

[desert dawn]

Haha Im just going to email and ask if they will sell them to me separately or add moonwakes trays to the list of reasons why I need a 3d printer

[nova wadi]

I love Taq Del Sol so much

got me through the pandemic

would pick up and take back to our apartment in brookhaven like 4 times a week lol

[desert dawn]

Ya it’s my wife’s fav. We have been going to Decatur for gosh 15+ years now

Am I old or young

[nova wadi]

Not old but not young 🙃

[cedar olive]

Dude Taq is elite

So much love for Taq. Although, Little Rey is also so so good

[jaunty ice]

What do you guys get at taqueria del sol? My main is salsa verde chicken enchiladas though I learned the hardware you need to order after 12pm or they microwave thaw the chicken and the texture is off.

This is from Cheshire and Howell mill locations

[cedar olive]

Usually 2 fried chicken tacos, 1 carnitas. Chips and Guac. Marg if the feeling is right

[jaunty ice]

I think I’m gonna eat at taqueria del sol now

I’ll hit up Howell mill since Cheshire is more inconsistent

[nova wadi]

We make the drive if the black bean enchiladas are the special

Otherwise I’ll do a fried chicken, bbq, and the veggie bean

[gaunt gulch]

Is there a file somewhere?

[desert dawn]

Tbh, I hate those locations.

[jaunty ice]

It’s worse than Decatur right?

[desert dawn]

Yes.

[jaunty ice]

But Decatur is too far 😩

And I used to live there

[desert dawn]

In order:
Decatur
Brookhaven
Howell mill
Cheshire

I can’t place Athens cause I’ve only been 2-3 times and don’t remember

Brookhaven might honestly be on par with Decatur, but I don’t like the physical location.

Congested hard to park. Line situation more awkward

[jaunty ice]

I don’t think I know about the Brookhaven one

[desert dawn]

I’ll get:

-Fish tacos
-Veggie tacos
-Queso
-Bean enchilada with the red chili on top
-shrimp chowder

-Chicken is hot or miss in both the enchilada and taco
-Brisket is usually dry for me
-chef special plate- hit or miss more often gets served cold. Not to be mistaken with the special taco

Off menu
-get the Valentina hot sauce thing they make
-get the dessert from time to time
-add 1 salsa for $1 when you order a queso
-if you order to go ask for sauce on the side so your tacos don’t go soggy

[desert dawn]

Where the Whole Foods is I believe and close to Stellow coffee

[cedar olive]

queso at taq is also elite

[desert dawn]

I’ll check. Ming there is pretty nice and normally releases his stuff

[desert dawn]

-1 lb American cheese boars head or land o lakes. Buy the block and shred it
-1 cup milk
-1 tbsp pickled jalapeno chopped add subtract to your taste
-garnish with fresh jalapeno

Gently warm milk in a pot, add cheese slowly melting it in and add pickled jalapeno

This is from them

They prefer land o lakes cheese but I don’t have that at my grocery store

[desert dawn]

Cheese 50/50
50 burn/50 under?

[jaunty ice]

Weird right? Chicken was hot which is the main issue usually.

Often chicken under reheated or if I get there before noon the texture is awful due to rapid defrosting

[desert dawn]

I don’t have much comparison on lunch cause I rarely make it for that but interesting

[cedar olive]

Dang it’s so simple

[desert dawn]

Yep! just good quality american cheese

[desert dawn]

Tomorrow

I’m releasing the PNG (super limited supply unfortunately), left over Aida Battle and Honey Gesha. Going forward I’m going only release as much as I can roast and ship fast

[desert dawn]

Coffee is weird. It’s like darker and watery also burned my tongue.

[jaunty ice]

Will find out if this works with milk as spiced coffee and as a cap

I was hoping to pick up a deep 27 here, alas

[desert dawn]

They sell them?

I feel like D27 seems to give me more sweetness

[frank glen]

Their new bags are pretty nice

PERC Brazil Legender was the first specialty I ever tried

From what I remember with my noob palate, pretty good "normal" coffee

[jaunty ice]

I thought I saw it on their online shop but could be wrong

[jaunty ice]

I tried aerating the water with my frother for soup today

[desert dawn]

For an americano or just to make soup

[desert dawn]

Gabi back on Amazon. I jumped on it

[nova wadi]

[jaunty ice]

Soup, which is already good so I couldn’t tell if it was more good.

[desert dawn]

Did I tell you guys I bought the flair E wizard steamer

[woven stone]

No!

Would love to try it sometime

[desert dawn]

Sure

I didn’t know it existed and saw it outside at the show…. Been living rent free in my head

From what I’m hearing it’s way more convenient than the stove top option. Very powerful

The nano foamer pro is great for me, but I need to practice steaming skills. All I got are PO skills

[jaunty ice]

Do you have an induction top to use with it?

Oh TIL about the e wizard.

[gaunt gulch]

It was only online that I saw

[desert dawn]

Yep. The e wizard big benefit I see is it self regulates to stay at steam pressure.

The stove top one eventually always over heats and lets out steam being noisy and annoying

If it works I’m going to bring it to a pop up

[jaunty ice]

Thankfully Nueva Allianza sl9 is really hitting this morning.

[nova wadi]

So good. What did you brew it on

[desert dawn]

I have to look out for buying SL9. When they hit they are great

[nova wadi]

Just reminded me I need to crack my Sey SL9

[daring flare]

how big is the backlog (currently) bro ?

[nova wadi]

Untenable

[daring flare]

have you tried any of mine?

ive gone thru all the aviary, now just drinking frozen backlog before flying out

[desert dawn]

Which one

What color

[nova wadi]

I had one that was fantastic. I’ll crack some more today

Been using most of my caffeine intake on testing roasts

[nova wadi]

Red - 2026 Genezard Perez; Vista Alegre

Or maybe a dark pink?

[desert dawn]

Oh ok. The one I had was like a brownish orange

[jaunty ice]

K ultra at 6.8 and Gabi 13:200 at 92c

Now making Ben Paz on the v60 same grind size and ratio.

[desert dawn]

My gosh this is hitting today.

Changed to extreme Peach gummy candies, joocy, something red that I can’t put my finger on.

You could tell me this was a coferm and I would believe you

This would def be an example of bag notes being wrong bc I judged early

[nova wadi]

What’d you brew it on

[desert dawn]

V60

I actually was using that as trash to dial in for v60 since I have been doing D27 so much. Was expecting it to be faded but the aroma was so strong when I grinding I thought well let’s brew it and see

[nova wadi]

Fantastic Gabi brew this morning after not using it for a while

Inspired by @desert dawn getting one

[desert dawn]

Im just trying to keep up with yall

I think @jaunty ice has like 4 grinders, grind by humidity, and seasons his coffee 🤯

[jaunty ice]

5 once the A2 Pietro is up and running

[jaunty ice]

Ben Paz gesha soup, then Gabi Leicht sl9 followed by Big Sur San Antonio.

Good times, will be souping Leicht and big sure tomorrow

[woven stone]

Had a good benitez today in Miami. Their ratio was low on accident but it still came out great

[desert dawn]

Come to think of it I haven’t had any coffee today. Just a sip of the latte I made for my wife. Probably why I’m feeling funny

[gaunt gulch]

You need to drink some carbonated water

[desert dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/any-day-now-jonathan-larson-andrew-garfield-tick-tick-boom-its-coming-soon-gif-24503745

Carbonated concoctions Im excited

[gaunt gulch]

Ok poll, I ground some coffee at my orb setting rather than deep27. Do I a) toss, b) put in an airtight container for 5 hours, c) just make a orb-over

[desert dawn]

d) make it in the D27

reduce pours

[gaunt gulch]

I'm pushing the max here. 12g - 204

I'll try it

[desert dawn]

Haha ya that probably is max

[desert dawn]

Was it good bad or mid

[gaunt gulch]

This is surprisingly not bad

It was also surprisingly quick

This brewer is harder to get right than I thought it would be (even though that's literally what everyone says)

[desert dawn]

ya its funny. with such a fast flow even though you go fine you can recover, but drop a pour or two

usually drop 1 pour

I feel like I get more sweetness from a D27

[nova wadi]

I get astringency from it a lot

I remember when I first got into PO and I thought it was crazy people could taste differences from different brewers. Boy was I wrong

[jaunty ice]

I assumed a lot of it was a placebo sort of like the audiophile community

People kept talking about upgrading their grinders and at the time people will sell my their perfectly acceptable niche zero for an upgrade to a zerno and it didn’t make any sense to me

[nova wadi]

Didn’t know bana was turning on H&S

More for me

[cedar olive]

Dude yeah that was surprising ngl

[gaunt gulch]

Interesting what's happening?

[desert dawn]

H&S decided to roast some coffees a little less UL

So people were complaining. H&S sent out an email confirming they roasted some coffees a little less UL - still light. I dont think the email said why. I think some green isnt meant to be UL and also sometimes cups are just better not pushed too light

[desert dawn]

In a way it helped because it made me more sensitive to astringency so I pick up on it a lot faster. Sucks bc Im like oh its astringent and people look at me crazy

[jaunty ice]

They’ve always roasted some beans that are not ultralight. I only just recently realized my favorite beans for espresso from H&S were “light”

[desert dawn]

I think even the lighter options that Bana buys were less light?

Flair E wizard came in today

First impressions - much larger than I expected. Seems built well. Packaging and build quality sufficient. I think it’s all metal except the base? Need to re check

Steam wand - cool to touch love that. I immediately swapped to the 3 hole tip. Lots of motion on it but will take getting use to - it’s also been a long time since I manually steamed milk

Steam is powerful. Way more powerful than my Breville dual boiler. I didn’t even crack it open all the way to steam I would have shot the milk out of the pitcher

Took maybe 5 minutes to get to full pressure and then it just held that pressure on its own.

I would think I could steam quiet a few 8oz lattes with one full tank

[sharp jasper]

That sounds so much better than the Bellman I used for years with my F58. 🤓

[nova wadi]

Sey SL9 is really good

[cedar olive]

my friend got that one through the sub and said it's increidble

[jaunty ice]

I think I got the wrong sl9 :/

[gaunt gulch]

Which one?

[desert dawn]

Flair E Wizard, Day 2

Base confirmed plastic. I see why - the boiler is HOT. So the base is large plastic that does not get hot and to limit you bumping into the hot part.

When you fill water you need to wipe the top before close it if any gets on it or it will spurt little steam bubbles from under the lid.

Still ultra powerful for me. I’m using the pitcher that came with the Breville dual boiler. Probably doing 180-200ml of milk? Both times now I’ve immediately over aerated and had to try and save it. Still thick milk

I wonder if I’m letting the temp on the boiler get too hot and I need to purge more before starting 🤔

[gaunt gulch]

Before I put up for sale, does anyone have any desire for an aeropress with fellow prismo cap?

[desert dawn]

Not on my side. Dont need another experiment

[nova wadi]

I’ve never had AP coffee

[jaunty ice]

I have these as well and decided not to sell because it’s so close to the cost of shipping

[jaunty ice]

I was experimenting with it last year, used the more recent LH right side up recipe. To reduce astringency I bought the flow control cap and reduced temperature to 80-85f.

In the end I preferred my French press the AP and of course orb won for travel.

[cedar olive]

Dang I’ve been LOVING my aeropress with prismo cap recently

I can share my recipe if anyone wants to try. Been getting very clean and well extracted cups even with UL coffees

[gaunt gulch]

More than orb?

[woven stone]

What’s the recipe? I have one too

[cedar olive]

Not an orb guy so can't speak to that! Here's the receipe:

Grind medium to medium fine ish (as a point of reference, fairly finer than what you would use for Shoebox QC)
Attach the prismo with the metal mesh filter and then a paper filter on top of it.

Add coffee (I use 12.5g dose)

Pour 190-205g of water (depending on desired level of intensity and depending on roast level). Use 92-96c water. If you have a melodrip, you can also use that to limit agitation when pouring water in.

Wait until 3:30 to stir (I do a couple of passes to stir everything up, nothing too aggressive)

Start pressing around 4:00-4:15

Finish pressing at 4:30-5:00 ish min

For true UL roasts (like Shoebox), I'll do an extra stir of the coffee around 1:30 and let it steep until 4:30 or 4:45 before pressing

[desert dawn]

12.5g dose. I approve this message. Less coffee more often

[cedar olive]

Has moving to 12.5g doses somehow justifed me drinking 4-5 cups a day?

Maybe.....

[desert dawn]

I’m at the point where if I don’t love it. I don’t finish it. Just make another one later

ALSO, inspired by @gaunt gulch and @jaunty ice I bought a carbonation rig to make sparkly water

[gaunt gulch]

Yes!

[desert dawn]

Got my tank, regulator coming in today and hopefully rest of the stuff by this weekend

[gaunt gulch]

https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/448175e7-c93e-4768-b456-617b2c3837e6/gif#tNPaT53z.copy

[jaunty ice]

Among my favorite things in the morning is adding a bit of carbonated water to the coffee I finished and sipping my coffee soda

[desert dawn]

Wait. Do you make special water for sparkling water?

[jaunty ice]

Well, this isn’t bad. I might go a touch coarser next time

[jaunty ice]

Filtered tap

[jaunty ice]

Doing that now

This Aricha is 3 months after roast but not very soluble

Immersion kind of ideal here

[desert dawn]

All smell no coffee

[jaunty ice]

Not fair to judge a method by those beans but AP feels dull compared to v60 or Gabi

[desert dawn]

Hopefully the coarser method opens it up

V60 to me generally most “active” “lively” cup but also easiest to screw up

[nova wadi]

Just spotted on my instagram story one of my friends is working at stellow @woven stone

[woven stone]

who?

[nova wadi]

I guess I should say doing work in the cafe haha

[woven stone]

or working in the cafe as a visitor?

[nova wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-rick-dalton-point-finger-pointing-hand-right-there-gif-20349799

I was like oh Stellow!

I realize now this isn’t exciting to anyone but me haha

[cedar olive]

thanks for trying it out. I've been leveraging this set up at work and have been shocked by how good its been

[jaunty ice]

I need a cup from you to see how it’s done

[jaunty ice]

It was a little hollow at 4.0 with A4z, better at 3.5. I did two stirs 12.5:200 at 92c

[desert dawn]

Need another meet up

[cedar olive]

I'm in for another meet up

Haven't been to one yet and need to meet y'all IRL

[cedar olive]

broke out the gabi for the first time in a while for H&S La Victoria and it is great

Not sure if it's better than the 4 pour recipe but it's still really good

[jaunty ice]

Gabi has been really consistent for me.

[cedar olive]

do you use a4z with it? What grind size do you use?

[gaunt gulch]

Yes

[gaunt gulch]

This why I've ultimately moved on from it

[gaunt gulch]

Burton water salt but I bet with coffee water you ever everything you need to make a nice mineral water

[desert dawn]

I want to make this - but I’m not sure if it’s literally use those exact amount of minerals in 1 gallon.

I think it should be

And to clarify this is not Sey cafe water.

This is a modified version Lance did at Sey House in San Diego

[nova wadi]

I’ve been doing Thanfullys water and really liking it

[desert dawn]

Never heard of theirs. What’s the recipe

[jaunty ice]

I add calcium chloride to filtered tap until it’s 95 - 105 ppm

[desert dawn]

We need to start pinning recipes

[peak field]

i am scared to jump down the water rabbit hole

[desert dawn]

It’s highly dependent on what you drink. But can make a big difference

[jaunty ice]

Just rechecked my GH/KH since the tap ppm has drifted up to 71, but my filtered tap is at 40/18 right now, adding one drop of CaCL2 to 600mL filtered water brings me to ~53/18 near this recipe which is around 56/20

[nova wadi]

Damn that’s the way to do it

[jaunty ice]

There won't be much potassium or magnesium in there though

I bought a pool testing kit and a 25mL graduated cylinder so I could be a bit more precise with it, measuring the drops in 25mL instead of the 5mL vials they include in the kit

gotta swirl it with a chopstick too

[jaunty ice]

First time with Perc Legender (though I think that’s what they serve for the cortado they gave me). This is a really nice nutty cap. On the verge of being too dark for me but not too dark. I need to see how my wife liked her spiced coffee with legender this morning.

This Sey sl9 is just okay (compared to what I was hoping for)

[desert dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/breakingbad-science-yeah-science-gif-5954775

[desert dawn]

This is the one Hendon recommends

Bought it 8-9 months ago still haven’t used it

[jaunty ice]

Yeah I skipped this because it was $80 and I already felt bad.

[desert dawn]

I think I paid $90

[jaunty ice]

But would be interested in knowing the actual calcium and magnesium rather than me just assuming no Mg

[desert dawn]

Yeah, it has 75 tests worth so we could do it

Also- the e wizard. I’m sucking at it. When I get ready to turn the knob I’m internally scared now of screwing up so results are getting worse imo

ALL

I will be skipping dropping coffee this weekend to celebrate Mothers Day. Next weekend TBD. I have to get out the order for Ordinary so I’m not sure if I’ll have the additional capacity.

[peak field]

I swear I got a lemon bag from Perc because mine was too bright

Had to pull 1:3 and the dominant flavor was still acidic…

[jaunty ice]

Hmm I think I might like that.

I wanted try legender but I think I’m going to replace with Alma again once I make a dent in this massive bag

[jaunty ice]

Ben paz hitting again. Keeps getting better.

[peak field]

I might have to circle back to peach coffee roasters, I really enjoyed dirty south

I want to try their second crack (near second crack?) coffee

[desert dawn]

I keep thinking about dark roast. My little drum roaster keeps calling me like a little voice in my head

[cobalt slate]

We’ve been trying Boxcar Stella these past few days. I finally found a bean that both my wife and daughter like (they tend to prefer sugary, syrupy concoctions). It tastes similar to Alma Soulmate, just a tad less caramel (which is very pronounced here too) and maybe a bit more forgiving (with Alma, I found I had to add just the right amount of milk and sugar to transform it from coffee to gold. Anything less wouldn’t do).

I pulled a soupy shot today, despite almost choking the machine yesterday with similar grinder settings. I thought I’d hate it and have to remake it, but it brought out some major nutty flavors, which aren’t on the package. I liked it though.

[desert dawn]

Espresso is great. One moment pulls great the next minute you choke the machine or 3x fast

[cobalt slate]

Yeah, absolutely 😂

[jaunty ice]

Shoebox sub not messing around this month

[peak field]

my BBE grinder is like, insanely consistent

ive been maining that as my spro grinder at home lol

for PO i use a kinggrinder

[desert dawn]

Or is your puck prep on point?

[peak field]

I give the PF a few karate chops then tamp

I did taekwondo in 3rd grade, that must be it

[desert dawn]

Sounds consistent to me

I do a little bada bing bada boom yeet pours and viola pour over

I normally pour 10ml/s. I’ve been trying to train myself to pour 6 ml/s. It’s a nightmare

[woven stone]

@cedar olive I tried your aeropress recipe this morning on some valor. V good!

[desert dawn]

I got my rig setup. Now I’m just terrified of blowing up a bottle. I used to use co2 unregulated at work to blast clogs yet this is scarier

[gaunt gulch]

@desert dawn a video came out for you https://youtu.be/fy7b5rafKRM

I have not watched it yet

[desert dawn]

Can’t wait to watch it

[jaunty ice]

Helpful for me to hear about astringency vs bitterness and how these change as beans are roasted. Thanks for sharing @gaunt gulch

[gaunt gulch]

Need to watch myself lol

[gaunt gulch]

Does anyone have a hario neo?

[desert dawn]

I am ordering Big Sur soon.

I will have about 4 bags each extra:
-Ethiopia Triple Fermentation Washed Faysel Abdosh.
-Ehtiopia Washed Sweda
-Kenya Kivanga

DM if you’re interested.

[desert dawn]

I think Mike does.

We were using it at Sey House in San Diego

My understanding is fast flow but if you swirl the brewer it clogs

[cedar olive]

Omg I’m tempted

[jaunty ice]

I just ordered Big Sur this weekend because I was frustrated by the reseller cost and options

[jaunty ice]

I have a ct62 if you ever want to try it

[cedar olive]

Honestly we should be like the Bay Area coffee club and make massive group orders to where we can get exclusive collabs lol

[jaunty ice]

For the moment by best experience has been with Substance.

[desert dawn]

Substance is UUL

Right?

[jaunty ice]

I found their beans to be excellent and quite “soluble”

I was told to wait two weeks off roast and it’s was great.

[desert dawn]

🤯

[drowsy jacinth]

the neo v60? Connan at auxiliary have some on shelf / has been using it for his pour over

[gaunt gulch]

Damn I got to get over there

[drowsy jacinth]

seems to have a faster draw down with that rib geometry, which can go finer if you wish, pair it with the expensive sibarist paper

was thinking if i wanna pick up one too ngl 😂

[desert dawn]

We were using

t90s, the neo, and m98v - I was at about 485 micron

T90s, regular v60, m98v - I was at about 520 micron

Don’t transfer this micron to your grinder. Just showing we did go a little finer with the Neo but nothing crazy

I should add Neo was bloom plus one pour controlled at 6ml/s

v60 was same bloom + one pour but yeet pour 10+ ml/s

[gaunt gulch]

How did you like the cups?

[desert dawn]

Great, but I didn’t feel the need to buy one over a v60

I already have a metal SS v60. It’s already super fast drawdown. I would say almost 30 seconds faster

It’s very thin so preheat not an issue

[gaunt gulch]

Interesting

[vital pond]

Oh hi, Im new to this discord and the area, but excited to be here, Im in Augusta for work for the next couple years or so. Visiting Atlanta for the first time this weekend, if anyone has any espresso adjacent reccomendations 😅. Thank you!

[sharp jasper]

Welcome! Stellow, Portrait, Valor and Perc are places I've personally been to and enjoyed their espresso offerings.

Valor and Perc have multiple locations, so they might be easier to visit.

Where do you come from? I, too, am not from the area. 😂😂

(I moved to ATL a few years ago)

(Outside the Perimeter, so not really Atlanta if you ask some of the folks here.)

[vital pond]

I'm from Boston actually, Georgia is a bit of a change 😂

[jaunty ice]

The restaurants along Buford highway not far from Stellow is one of the major attributes that drew us to Atlanta.

If you are visiting Piedmont park it might be nice to visit Academy and see Virginia highlands. From Piedmont park you can access the beltline and walk south toward krog st market.

[desert dawn]

Welcome!

[gaunt gulch]

Hey welcome. Depending on where you are I really like academy in Virginia Highlands

[gaunt gulch]

Like lewis bbq!

[gaunt gulch]

Ha as usually I'm late

[vital pond]

I'm staying between centennial Olympic Park and the Mercedes Benz stadium?

I'll have to make a list and map

[jaunty ice]

Well it’s more meaningful from you because only my daughter has been there and she had the hot chocolate

[gaunt gulch]

Lol my kids also like the hot chocolate. Good sandwiches too

[jaunty ice]

Yeah she wants to go back for hot chocolate. Do they still have September beans?

[gaunt gulch]

I'm not sure actually. I haven't been in several months

[desert dawn]

Academy? I went maybe two weeks ago and I think only Flow

[nova wadi]

Welcome

I love Boston

Such a cool city

Hate the Pats and Celtics tho

[vital pond]

😂 sounds about right, thank you

[desert dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-dance-happydance-swag-yass-gif-5373456

Got my first Reddit review

I guess I can go ahead and retire now I made it

[vital pond]

cat tax

[vital pond]

is this local to atlanta? or

I am low on beans and driving to pensacola for 12 weeks next weekend 😭 for school stuff

[desert dawn]

I sell online and do pop ups. Looking for an official spot

I should be releasing hopefully this weekend

Will confirm tomorrow

[vital pond]

I gotta figure out how to get stuff shipped to a hotel

[desert dawn]

I’m sure it’s possible

[jaunty ice]

Yeah could ask hotel how to place the order.

[gaunt gulch]

Yooooo that is so freaking cool!

[gaunt gulch]

I used to travel quite a bit for work and would have my stuff shipped to the hotel quite frequently with either my name and room number if it was a longer shoot or just my name and I would call the front desk and let them know to hold it for me.

[jaunty ice]

My wife has been traveling for the past month now, Boston, DC and now Dallas. We’ve been talking for the past month about how she is finally visiting Texas

Anyways today I find out that her hotel and conference center are attached to the airport so this is no more visiting Texas than a connecting flight 😂

[plush sinew]

😮 😮 😮 😮 MY GOAT

[jaunty ice]

At two days off roast I think I jumped the gun, you think it’s ready to brew now?

Almost 3 weeks

[desert dawn]

I don’t know anymore 😭

Wait do you have Java? The post was for same producer but Java. I didn’t release it online. Just pop up and world of coffee

[jaunty ice]

Ahh I think not the Java

I’ve been struggling with the Colombian Gesha from Big Sur (San Antonio) and finally made it with the K ultra and it was much better.

[desert dawn]

On that note, ALL: Unfortunately, I cannot place the Big Sur order. If something changes in the future I’ll let you know

[jaunty ice]

Here goes

[jaunty ice]

Nice and sweet, will try coarsening grinder a bit next cup

[desert dawn]

I can’t wait till my Gabi comes in

[jaunty ice]

It’s not good at all things like some shoey

[nova wadi]

Here we go

[desert dawn]

Ya, I’m excited! I think more Reddit posts will help with awareness

[nova wadi]

For sure

[vital pond]

Stellow is definitely a top notch recommendation, this place is sweet 🫡

[jaunty ice]

Did you get food nearby too?

[vital pond]

I did

Thinking I'll swing by again on the way out, although it's not exactly on the way

[woven stone]

Thanks for stopping by!

(I wasn’t there, but regardless thank you)

[desert dawn]

David. I didn’t get any candy garnishes with my coffee. I see how it is.

[woven stone]

Nothing with the pourover

Sadly

[desert dawn]

That’s pour over discrimination!

But in all seriousness… what is the garnish? Looks like fruit and tajin!

[woven stone]

It’s a candy orange lol

No tajin

[desert dawn]

Pictures are deceiving

I would have bet money

[sharp jasper]

June 13th, y'all in for a meet at my place in Lilburn?

That gives everyone a few weeks to build up a caffeine tolerance for the staggering amount of coffee you'll be consuming.

[woven stone]

Will be working a wedding that day

[sharp jasper]

Tell them to reschedule the wedding.

What about the 14th? Would that be better?

[woven stone]

Yea

[desert dawn]

I will be out of town that weekend, but no worries everyone should hang!

Also, I’m going to drop a Burundi from Masha washing station today. It’s really interesting I get this crisp apple like acidity which is pretty refreshing, then this tannic taste with an earthy turmeric finish. Still I would call this very clean and complex

[gaunt gulch]

You move?

[desert dawn]

Yes, to be near his favorite roaster

[vital pond]

Do neighbors get samples? I can move

[gaunt gulch]

I keep hoping my favorite roster will open a spot near me

[sharp jasper]

Yep! We wanted to get further out. Longer commute but fewer neighbors.

[jaunty ice]

I always mix up Lilburn and Snelville.

[desert dawn]

I’m walking distance to the intersection of Lawrenceville, snellville, and lilburn

[desert dawn]

I’m working on something let’s hope it works out 🤫

[sharp jasper]

Made Filter3.0 with this stuff. The lilac is strong on the nose! I know it will only get better but I've been staring at two bags for weeks and had to make some. 🤤

Great cup! Juicy, little acidity, sweet. I'm curious what specifically is imparted by the honey.

[desert dawn]

So I think the coffee does inherently have sweetness, but the honey process amplifies it

[sharp jasper]

That makes sense. I had another bag of a honey process coffee and boy i think I'm a fan.

[desert dawn]

Ya as long as it’s clean Honey is great

From the same producer I have a washed Java - it’s also really sweet

The coffee closed up on me during world of coffee but the sweetness was still big time. Like hit this lull in the resting period where it was open lots of flavor closed and then opens back up

[sharp jasper]

That is weird how that happens.

[desert dawn]

Ya I can’t explain it yet

[sharp jasper]

Does anyone know if/when Shoebox will open their subs again?

@jaunty ice any insider knowledge to this? 🤞

[gaunt gulch]

Bump lol

[sharp jasper]

Saw this on reddit. Cracked me up.

[jaunty ice]

I would just ask maxwheel. But I’ll keep the lookout open

[cedar olive]

I believe they said it would be June or July??

[desert dawn]

I gotta find the one from Dongze. I like his better

[sharp jasper]

Thank you! Just PM'd him

[sharp jasper]

Perfect timing. Haha I'll need a new sub by then

[cedar olive]

I’m pretty sure this actually came from bana?

[desert dawn]

The reason why I like his is I’m starting to question that peak occurs earlier like this.

but there may be volatiles or the gas that could be present that are less enjoyable to some people too in the beginning

Also, I was on a Lance call this morning and he said some scientists he’s working with found that using the blind shaker for 10 seconds on fresh coffee causes 30% co2 loss.

I’m going to try this on fresh coffee I roast

[cedar olive]

What’s a Lance call??? Sounds cool hahaha

Also that’s kinda crazy if true

No more rest window

[nova wadi]

Fresh off roast coffee hits ngl

[desert dawn]

Patreon supporters have a call once a month. Plus all the lives he does throughout the week

I see it as a way to support him since I’ve learned a lot from him. Kinda same reason I did the Aviary sub

[sharp jasper]

Maxweel said Julyyyy

[gaunt gulch]

Okay so the ATL coffee intern needs to get all of our darn tough sock return paperwork going and set up a reminder for the July sub. Anything else?

[sharp jasper]

The coffee meetup on the 14th? Or David and I can over caffeinate and set a group one later if nobody else can swing it?

I'd love to try a meet based on espresso

I think I'll need some bulb syringes to divvy up shots. 🤔 Can't be drinking whole shots, I'd be out after only a few. 😂

[gaunt gulch]

I'm unfortunately out that Saturday to the next Saturday

[desert dawn]

That could be fun. Espresso focused

Also, I have some bulb syringes.

[gaunt gulch]

Re: deep27- am really really liking the sub 8 g cups I am making but anything over that I can't figure out. And under 15 with my v60 is also sub-optimal.

[sharp jasper]

Ohhh that would be perfect!

[desert dawn]

Like that right

[desert dawn]

I love tiny doses. I’m usually at 10g but follow lances recipe. And usually my brews are well under 2 mins

130-200

[nova wadi]

Definitely hitting up TDS this week

[desert dawn]

With a westside margarita or Pacifico?

[nova wadi]

Margarita for me

[desert dawn]

Depends on my mood. If Im feeling up for it Ill ask for the margarita to be skinny to be supa tart but its not very chuggable like a classic westside for me

[sharp jasper]

Okay everyone for a future meetup is there a day that works for more of the group?
🇦 for June 20th
🇧 For June 27th
🇨 For July 4th (Holiday, I know...)
🇩 For July 11th

[desert dawn]

20 morning
27 open so far
4 going to guess no
11 open so far

Wife holds the master schedule so will need to confirm

[nova wadi]

I’ll be gone July 4 and 11

Others look fine

Ope no 20th I can’t

27 wide open

[gaunt gulch]

B, d

[sharp jasper]

I am penciling in June 27th! Wife is at work, will make sure she is cool with it.

[plush sinew]

I might bring a small whirling dervish to assist in making a mess that weekend, otherwise can do it.

[sharp jasper]

Haha feel free to!

[plush sinew]

you hosting this shindig again? Or we lookin for a shpot?

( @gaunt gulch we should talk to connan @ academy and see if they'd let us host one at the new restaurant... would be dope AF and VERY INSTAGRAMMABLE, JUST SAYIN)

[gaunt gulch]

That would be cool

[sharp jasper]

I'm willing to host but I'm in Lilburn now! #OTPLife

Always open to a meet elsewhere!

Just wanted to get it on the books.

[nova wadi]

Confirmed with the gatekeeper and it is in the calendar

[plush sinew]

Gotcha, well we got a month to figure out location, so start diggin around and asking. I'd offer the house, but right now is chaos, idk what it's gonna look like in 30 days yet

[nova wadi]

I think I may do the unthinkable and break out my spro machine tomorrow and do some boomer shots

[sharp jasper]

What beans and grinder??

[nova wadi]

DF64 with MPs

Hmm most of my beans are pretty light

I did just get H&S sub in the mail and it has one that’s just light instead of ultra light lol

Maybe I’ll roast something darker

[jaunty ice]

The just “light” ones are my favorite for caps

Shoebox Yessica Parra Aji is interesting. Opened it today. Tastes like there is a bit of a prolonged fermentation process even though it’s “washed”

Will try in k ultra and maybe with lower ppm water

[nova wadi]

I have no clue what grind setting to use

Haven’t used my DF64 for spro yet

[desert dawn]

Start coarser and then go finer

Are you going to pull 1:2 or I would probably do 1:2.5+ for the lighter stuff

[peak field]

Solid stuff

[jaunty ice]

MP right?

My gen 2 experience is that it’s around 20-15 and that the dial in depends on which direction you arrive at 15 and once you dial in you better not move it. I imagine that would be magnified with MPs 😂

[nova wadi]

Went way too fine, barely got through the puck. Full on battery acid… but I don’t hate it 😂

I don’t miss the espresso faf

[jaunty ice]

What setting did you use?

[sharp jasper]

I used to hate it too. Getting a stepdown basket helped a ton. It made it so grind size didn't have to be so perfect. Instead of the Sweet spot for espresso being 12-18, it's now 20-35. One notch on my DF83V can change shot time by 1 second, but previously 1 notch might be 3 seconds different.

[jaunty ice]

It’s like dependent on your puck depth and diameter too. I’m happy with the step down now

[nova wadi]

I did a 10. Just did a 15 with decaf and undrinkable battery acid

[sharp jasper]

Dialing in went from 3 shots to 1 shot usually.

Which on those 125g bags matters a ton.

[nova wadi]

I think I need to stick with ORB soup

Was fun to break the spro machine back out though

Might do another later

Got to go vote

[jaunty ice]

I never tried the MPs for espresso. For espresso I found that decaf needs to be finer

But with the df64 because it’s stepless and imprecise I found that the direction I approached a rare mattered. If I was dialed in I didn’t want to touch it

[jaunty ice]

Just finished this morning. No line at our precinct

I’ll add that I didn’t find the p80 to be that much better. Dial is smoother which helps but still a very small espresso range you are dealing with.

[desert dawn]

I just got home from voting too.

[sharp jasper]

If anyone buys from Sworks and plans to attend our meet, I would like to add on plz...

[desert dawn]

I thought about buying their filter paper stand, havent decided yet

[jaunty ice]

Ben Paz you’ve done it again. Only 14g left. This one has become magical.

[sharp jasper]

Which roaster did you get it from? I think I had some of his stuff from B&W.

[jaunty ice]

Got a 10oz from Heart

[sharp jasper]

How did you brew it?

[jaunty ice]

My favorite has been filter on the Gabi. 13:200, did 14:215.5 today

Really good complexity, perfect amount of tartness, good body even with A4z, and roasted perfect my taste

It’s become better 6 weeks plus off roast

Makes nice soup as well

[sharp jasper]

I am curious to compare Filter3.0 to gabi brews. I have finally been dialing in my Filter 3.0 process and some cups just hit the spot.

[jaunty ice]

Gonna go celebrate with enchiladas

[jaunty ice]

I have to ask my brother if he’s used the filter 3 on the gaggiuino yet

[sharp jasper]

I feel like the lower bypass of the Gabi would make an interesting comparision to the no bypass of the Filter3.0

[jaunty ice]

I put June on my calendar but remains to be seen if I can be free that day.

[sharp jasper]

Hopefully you can make it!!

[jaunty ice]

Coffee should be shared

[desert dawn]

I read this as coffee should be scared. I got scared hahah

[peak field]

This is why PO will always be the best

[jaunty ice]

Coffee should be shared and sacred. And when I’m nearby it should be scared.

[gaunt gulch]

Feel like I'm basically making express everytime I soup

Sad day today... Last of the bag. Still ridiculous (did spend about 2b months in freeze)

[desert dawn]

Nice photo. My first official coffee that I passed out to people 😮

[desert dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/preach-it-clap-applause-clapping-gif-15452412

Preach

[jaunty ice]

Only thing good about yesterday was the coffee

[desert dawn]

Hey I’m feeling that too

[nova wadi]

Most days *

[gaunt gulch]

Yeah. Brutal

I'm in a different kind of election denial

[jaunty ice]

I’m just frustrated. Feel like people are uninformed at best.

[cedar olive]

SheeesH!!!

[jaunty ice]

🇪🇹

[cedar olive]

Did you order direct @jaunty ice

[nova wadi]

Misinformed as well

[jaunty ice]

Yeah, I saw the airworks price and offering and took matters into my own hands.

[vital pond]

is it ridiculous to bring a cold brew tower and french press with my espresso setup to my hotel

[sharp jasper]

Only if you don't use them! 😂😂

[desert dawn]

Put up your sign might come out ahead

[vital pond]

I will start selling espresso on base, my competition is starbucks 💀

[desert dawn]

Better up your sugar game

[vital pond]

affogato time

[nova wadi]

I regularly travel with my coffee stuff

Bringing my A2, ORB, and Baby 01 I think

On my trip to San Diego

[vital pond]

If I can sell 500 affogatos at $8 each I can break even on my setup!

https://tenor.com/bD4iU.gif

[jaunty ice]

Long day, came home to sticky rice

[plush sinew]

B R U H what a haul good lord

next time you wanna order half a pallet of coffee (esp eths!!!) holla @ ya boi and we can just make it a full pallet (oh heck, let's just fill the whole plane)

[jaunty ice]

The eths were very reasonably priced before shipping. $15 for 150g

none of this 60g black bag business

[jaunty ice]

I’ve not tried botz before but apparently they are releasing some coffee tomorrow

[nova wadi]

Yeah I’m kinda out on Airworks

[jaunty ice]

For a variety of reasons, ‘luxury bean only’ drops among them, me too.

For Big Sur shipping was $30 and my order placed May 8th arrived in less than two weeks without any notice.

[nova wadi]

Yeah you don’t know if you’re ever going to get what you ordered either. Happened to me twice so I canceled

[jaunty ice]

I had a lot of duplicate bags for some reason. It was all very strange.

Shoey sub and aviary should be enough for me for now

[nova wadi]

Yeah that’s solid

[cedar olive]

Cancelled the UL sub?

[desert dawn]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8p4H89x/

Welp. I guess it’s going to be packed now

Baby blue pizza Chamblee. For thin and crispy

[cedar olive]

Saw that this morning

My brother in law and sister in law live in chamblee and say it’s great

[woven stone]

lol. Yesterday I was talking to the US foods guy hanging at the cafe and he told me baby blue got reviewed

Good score at that too

Gonna have to try it soon

[nova wadi]

None of that existed when I lived in Chamblee lol

[desert dawn]

Agree time to try. I’m happy a small business is getting some love but also worried. Sounds like a tiny operation

[jaunty ice]

I wanted to live in chamblee, chamblee/doraville was the main draw for us to come to the city (other than work) but it never quite made sense for our commutes. I’ve been really impressed by the way Chamblee has increased building around the station

[vital pond]

🍕

[jaunty ice]

Would like to see the peachtree industrial area become something other than a car sewer and dealership location
