Yes, there are a lot of decaf roasting options, but only a few ways to process the beans. Did you watch the tasting event that just took place ? I think they did decaf this year.

It is above most publicly accepted ratios. This is the one that works best with the water and process I use. I used to do like 21 to 360 or something, but this works out nice.

Made it as espresso. It definitely has a lot of crema. I’m still getting it dialed in. Tastes good, but I didn’t think my palette is refined enough to say it taste different from other medium roasts. With that said, I didn’t think I’ll be getting another bag.

Yeah, I’m going to espresso brew it tomorrow. I wasn’t thinking of an Americano, just a straight shot. I have that ninja machine that’s all the rage right now. It does the job. Will see.

I also noticed that the beans are shiny.

You can test this issue with laptop sending large files to your NAS over Wi-Fi. Local device communication is crazy slow on my network over the eeros. I discovered this when I moved a TV that was on a wired connection to wireless and everything feel apart from there.

I’m using eero as my wifi and for whatever reason, the eero wifi only give me max 10 Mbps, while a wired connection is over 100 Mbps. Also, my tplink WAP gives me 50Mbps.

However, if I do a speed test to an outside server, it’ll report over 300 Mbps… Something is messed up with local stream for me with my eeros. I’ll likely be removing them soon.

However, in the short term I re-encoded a bunch of my 4k rips down to 1080 and this resolved all my bandwidth issues.

Facebook is the only way for me to keep up with what’s happening in my town. Lots of the older generation of people are on it and always post what’s the best repair people, events or other news worthy things. Basically local news feed.

Yeah, the song I 2 I, from a goofy movie will take AI a while to get right.

Since it’s not active, it looks to just be geo based as changing my VPN location makes it work… This was my first time visiting the website and it was showing someone opening an egg he boiled for 2 hours… 💀

I got them on Amazon, the only place I could find them as well. However, I didn’t search as hard as you I think.

The Stumptown aeropress video will give you an idea of using it while camping.

I pan roast and it makes pretty tasty coffee, but doesn’t work well as an espresso bean. For that I stick with something professionally done. I don’t think I would invest in roasting beyond what I’ve done. It’s a good way to understand more about the process/journey that beans undergo.

Next time in South Cali check out Philz coffee. It’s pour over and an interesting menu.

Have you considered roasting beans?

I also started my journey of coffee fun not too long ago. My journey started when I wanted a manual process to replace my drip machine. The gateway drug was the aeropress. I love how quick that think makes a great cup, but the v60 can’t be beat.

I picked Toshiba drives personally. However, I know of a bunch of WD reds running for years with no issues.

I think since the nas cases aren’t insolated for sound, your going to hear them moving that head around…

Have you considered an ssd populated nas? It does cost more however :(

Yes, I have run wires to a few rooms, but not everywhere and it can be difficult to convince myself to continue down this path. However, it is the more affordable option.

You mean run wires?

While not really for my hosting, I want to upgrade the Wi-Fi speeds in my home, currently running an eero setup that provides good coverage, but the speed seems poor when transferring large files around the home.

Not sure what to get, but this is my goal.

Yes.

Use a custom launcher. I use Flauncher as my home page so it only has jellyfin visible. No ads ever.

I popped on the SNES with my Super Gameboy cartage for a visiting kid that’s like 7 and he was amazed playing Super Mario World 2. It was a whole new game for him. I wish I could get a cheap working gameboy for kids today, the used market is scam now with the prices people are doing.

You can theme Kodi to look pretty close to Netflix, but not out of the box. As my library doesn’t update too often, I can live with the slower refresh as it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make for the ability to play everything in my library.

Really, for the moat compatibility, a PC with a wireless keyboard is going to 100% of the time work with subtitles.
