I'm done buying 12 oz. bags of coffee
See I was scared off freezing beans on these forums ages ago sad thought the wisdom still held that it lowered the quality of the coffee, so I purposely but only in quantities I can consume in a week or two, which is about 12 oz. I don't mind smaller sizes and don't even mind a markup - packaging

LIDO 1 burr alignment issue
Well after over a year of light use I can honestly say my Lido has increasingly been giving me boulders and dust. I can even hear the burrs whisper in one point as I'm grinding, and I'm about 1.5 turns off zero! Eek! I tried to align my lido once before with mixed results, as it is

How often do you grind coffee by hand?
100% hand ground here. I'm doing 24-48 grams of medium grind per day. I would love a large electric grinder or even a sweet, minimal effort grinder like a versalab or HG-One. But space and budget prohibit, so I grind away for a few minutes each day by hand, instead. It would only be a problem with l...

Ceramic pourover lead safety
Food grade glazes are quite inert. Humans have been cooking, eating with, and storing foods of varying temperatures and acidities in ceramic vessels since the beginning. The poison is in the dose, not the substance - a little lead will NOT cause appreciable harm. It's keeping it out of the range of ...

Stirring filter brews after extraction?
I don't intentionally stir, but given how I like my drinks they often end up stirred or swirled about a bit before consumption. I hadn't given stratification any thought, but it makes sense. I think some taste testing on my next few pourovers is in order!

Impress Coffee Brewer (Kickstarter)
{image} Got my Impress today - the spiffy new black/carbon one! I went ahead with some Kenyan roasted last Sunday, which I've been favoring in my iced coffee, and brewed up 14 grams worth into 200 ml water, steeped for three minutes, and transferred the brew for tasting. I left my Lido at 1.75

Does Aeropress make coffee or espresso?
I laughed so hard when I came to this site and saw all the *actual* engineers. I'm not the engineer - my husband, brother in law, and father in law are! It was like sitting around the dinner table with them geeking out, just coffee related instead of structures and software Makes me feel right at

Impress Coffee Brewer (Kickstarter)
I would expect some flaking of the dots, given that they're not etched on. Short of that, stuff printed on metal invariably gets worn down by handling and repeated washings. Looking forward to getting one of these - we'll see if I like it better than my messy bodum or pourover cones

Owner experience with LIDO cupping coffee grinder by Orphan Espresso
Ugh. I agree. I can't decide if I'm excited or annoyed . Probably a bit of both, since I love my LIDO but was looking at a different kind of hand grinder as my next investment
