Filter 2.1 brewing (Decent DE1)

I'm confused and maybe I need some clarity I thought one uses the Coffee Filter basket in conjunction with a dripper like a Hario.

Office Coffee Drama

I did this for myself only, but then the Safety patrol came around saw it in my cubicle and nixed it... Can't blame them, with an exposed boiler - high heat and high pressure who knows if someone came into my cube and tried it when I wasn't around. We had a "coffee club" but

Intelligentsia Roasting lighter than TW, DAK, Manhattan (CONFIRMED)

I've been slurping Black Cat since I started with espresso back in 2008 or so. This cat changes skin every now and then Through the years there have been reports of it being too sour, too bitter, too light, too dark, even too chocolaty , ie different than the last time they tasted it.

Intelligentsia Roasting lighter than TW, DAK, Manhattan (CONFIRMED)

Give the Black Cat Sublunar a try. They describe it as I found it to have more chocolate flavor than the Classic or Analog with less "fruity" or bright flavors

Intelligentsia Roasting lighter than TW, DAK, Manhattan (CONFIRMED)

They do have various blends of Black Cat. I"m curious how their new "Sublunar" Black Cat blend measures compared to Classic. I've put in an order in addition to my Classic subscription for comparison. I do know compared to Saka I don't consider Black Cat a "classic" espresso blend

Shaken vs stirred: I'm a believer!

Interesting indeed! Great observation. The science of coffee or .....maybe the culinary art of coffee is deep and wide.
