I'd like to try alternatives to Third Wave Water for pour overs with light roast coffees, and can use advice on the best place to begin without getting overly lost into exponentially more variables (seems to be the trend with a coffee hobby :D )...
I thought it is time to open this thread. I think most of the backers received their packages, so maybe we can exchange observations maybe share new recipes etc.
So far I can say it is super simple to use and gives results a bit fruitier (subjectively) then my coffee brewed...
First, this is only for pour-over and not espresso. Espresso has other issues related to hardness (scale for one) that don't concern pour-over. I use carbon filtered tap water that is medium hard....160 ppm total hardness and relatively high alkalinity...120 ppm. For pour-overs...
I can't count how many hours I've been on this forum in the last 3 weeks but I finally decided to make up a login and get in the action. I got a Breville Oracle Touch (BES990BSS1BUS1) for Christmas and I want to get the most of out it that I can. We have...
I researched this stuff a lot about 5 years back, but kind of forgot my methodology behind the calculations. I was just using this recipe, but since my new machine is in next week, thought it might be a good idea to double check.
While I'm somewhat patiently (OK, not so patiently) waiting for my Linea Micra to arrive, I've been getting a few details sorted out. One detail is getting an easy process for making rpavlis water figured out. We have a whole-house water softener, and a Rayne Eradicator...
For my coffee water, I buy distilled water, and add minerals back.
I am considering a reverse osmosis set-up. Is it ~0 TDS water as distilled is? Would it be a 1 for 1, same recipe and same result using reverse osmosis water instead of distilled?
What's the most convenient way to get/produce water for low volume home use, assuming I'll be adding some electrolytes..Buying a home distiller? Home reverse osmosis system? Ordering distilled water for delivery? I want to have a simple system that will never leave me having to...
Unfortunately, my kitchen water source isn't the greatest as it's being fed from an underground well into a whole home water filter and finally a water softener. My primary concern is for the longevity of my machine (synchronika).
