Background - my favotire Nicaragua coffee is no longer roasted in my country (hopefully until the next harvest). Since I am typically an Ethiopia guy I've decided to buy all ethiopia's I've tried and tasted previously from my favorite roasters. Some of them are boutique...

Received as a gift from Rooster Farms, but my first brew was disappointing - bitter and roasty.

I went for a safe baseline - clever coffee, 20g to 320g or water (1:16), 209F kettle temp. Grind size 50 on niche zero. 3 minute immersion, 1 minute draw down. I've used that on...

I have a cheap Brix refractometer that I use for beer brewing and it works well for testing the original gravity of the wart before fermentation. I just tried to use it for pour-over coffee and the result seem a bit optimistic when it comes to extraction yield. I used the...

User Neil.Pryde on kaffee-netz.de called this one to my attention, and has a set of the SSP 98mm Brewing Burrs. Frank Durra at Titus quoted me 500-520 euros to the USA. Has anyone gotten to try these burrs? According to Neil.Pryde, These new brew burrs make the best cup for my...

Anyone know the science of why you could adjust sweetness/acidity by varying the amount of the first pour, and strength by varying the number of pours?

I just backed this but am having buyer's remorse and there's a week or so to back out:

Wondering about:

1. Is this crazy or intriguing? (it's the latter for me, but ...)
2. 3 sizes/shapes: Cone, small round and large round. Which would you choose and why?

I don't care...

EVERYTHING WILL KILL YOU AND POISON YOU!! (Sorry, not one of those threads :D)

I am just curious, for all the talk of some people being concerned with plastics in drippers like a V60, Clever, Aeropress, etc. - why is there never any talk of potential lead leaching from ceramic...

I'm a life-long coffee lover, but.... some sort of switch flipped in my head when I was about 28 or so, and I had my first great cup of coffee. From what I know about it, it was dumb luck and the stars aligned and the angels sang, and rainbows glinted off every shiny surface....
