They send out a Brewsletter! : D

I packed my pour-over things, and… was wildly unsuccessful…

Did you figure out what went wrong while travelling? (I’d suspect the local water first.)

But wait! I just discovered that the Pipamoka is made by Wacaco! 🤣🤣 Absolute gold mine, this thread.

Even just saying the name is intrinsically funny.

“Bripe!”

I’ll be trying to home-roast some decaf eventually; any tips?

I just did the same - end of a batch and there wasn’t enough so I mixed some of the next for a medium-light + dark blend. Good if not great, and certainly interesting.

🤷

In college I discovered the physics department’s distilled-water tap and started filling my water bottles from that because the regular drinking fountain on that floor was nasty. A classmate tried to tell me distilled water would make me die from dissolving all my minerals away or something, which I poo-poohed and kept drinking it for the taste. In hindsight I should probably have avoided it for the same reason as the big sign on the physics department ice maker, also accessible anonymously from the hallway: “No maintenance is performed to deter bacterial growth”. Oops. Well I turned out just fine pretty good okay so all’s well as ends without food poisoning.

Next best flavor?

Looks like they reconsidered using the Spongebob typeface.

Doesn’t coffee itself come under the category of things? Like how weird is it to pick berries and first let them rot before burning what’s left and then grinding that up to pour water on and drink it? 😁

Try cold-brewing a bag or three. Easily bypasses any risk of overcooking and the attendant overextraction.

Shopped up the K6, got a discount coupon code thingy (, repeatedly fended off Amazon trying to trick me into starting a Prime trial…), placed my order, and… it’ll be here in a month. Guess the manufacturer have their hair on fire right now.

I expect it’s unfamiliarity with roasting and some “more must be better” reasoning that makes this marketing work.

I’ve now seen enough mentions of this model that I’m more or less decided to buy one. But, where can I get it? The KINGrinder site only points to Amazon where the K6 is currently unavailable. Now what?

That.

I have a good reply but I posted it under this comment.

I have a UDP joke but I don’t know if you’ll get it.
