Random fashion thoughts

Try working in tech

It's a wasteland of anime tshirts and fanny packs (with attached anime keychains)

I did and I sort of do still. I think I will have to wear company branded stuff at least occasionally.

Id still rather wear an ill fitting company polo
over a suit and tie everyday ... Meeting with contractors and stuff is fine but I hated getting dressed up to go into the office and sit at my desk

Siphon coffee is only okay. THERE I SAID IT

 

[nevergreen]

rate my coffee setup

hand pour 4 life.
Bummer, but duly noted, thanks.

Also, hand pour 4 life.

Capresso Infiniti burr grinder is a decent entry-level jobby that gets a pretty even grind and doesn't heat up the beans too much. Mine's still going strong a good 6 years later, and I'm sure I paid less than a bill for it.

Unrelated - how is it that Cut Copy is playing Buffalo, NY but not Philadelphia?

yeah i've been super happy with my capresso for the price. lots of grind retention, but a tap on the back after grinding gets most of it out. upgrading my setup from capresso/fp+bialetti to a gaggia classic/Baratza Virtuoso with my tax return . At this point, opening up a small coffee shop is my life dream.

Been using a Chemex lately and really like it. It brews a very clear and good cup. Plus it's a hell of a lot easier to clean up than a French Press.

Why are you guys having such a hard time cleaning your french press? It takes about 20 seconds.

Finally bought some decent coffee, some beans I grinded at WF and the **** made my car smell fantastic when I got back in it. Is french press still previous level? Still hitting the spot so I don't really give any *****.

Pulling up at Starbucks today, I see they're making my $6 frappuccino with the same stupid Vitamix I have at home.

I went to World Market instead, found some sugar free mint and mocha syrup, and am now savoring the delicious tang of not casting my dollars to the wind....

French press coffee is still good in a pinch.

French press is my personal favorite because I really like all the silt that ends up in the cup, makes the coffee a bit heavier and more substantial

Really dislike aeropress, too thin bodied (perhaps my buddy just doesn't know how to brew a proper cup using his, idk)

Some things that have made my fp coffee taste better is pouring 30-60 seconds off the boil, I don't really time it because I'm not a dork. Also since the coffee is rich I use about 2 level teaspoons, this combined with the cooler water and no more than 4 minute saturating time makes for a smoother cup though I haven't experimented more than a few times. One of the tips I discovered was to stir the bloom after a minute then fill the rest of press up with water as usual. I do enjoy the oiliness but I could do with a bit less of the acidity. It definitely does have more body though, I may get some hario stuff to do pourover later. Found a fly ass kettle awhile back.

I was addicted to coffee for a little over a year. I think the amounts Americans drink isn't healthy, a simple espresso shot straight or mixed with whatever like they do in the Mediterranean after a meal is ideal imo.

all of this is good advice, but i would recommend folding, not stirring. the extra agitation will make it slightly more acidic.
