8 days post roast. I have tried 18g and 20g doses with extraction ratios of 1:2 at 200F and at 203F. I have adjusted the grinder to give me that ratio at 26secs, 32secs and 40secs. The equipment is an E61 double boiler and Niche grinder. I also use third wave water. RDT, WDT and...

Hey all, I've been doing a lot of work at a location where a Keurig is my only feasible way of getting coffee. I wanted to know if anyone knew of any specialty roasters that sold some killer K-pods. I'm pretty done with the Donut Shop pods if I'm being honest. I also don't want...
