    I was about to reply with 'i guess you will end up using spreadsheets', until this comment loaded.

    I'm actually working on software to do this, with metrics, but it's far from ready for primetime. So this is not helping (only myself to see that there is interest 😏).

  • Thoughts on drip assist devices?
  • martijn martijn Now 100%

    I'm not sure how they compare between each other (Gabi and Hario), but I don't really see much difference from manually pooring. Basically going the immersion route makes your water touch the coffee longer. That might extract more fats and make it less healthy, and in my opinion not a better taste (I don't like other immersion products either). Taste is personal of course.

    It might give you a slight improvement in comfort, but at what cost.

  • What do you use spent coffee grounds for (if anything)?
  • martijn martijn Now 100%

    Like most commenters, I throw them with the filters on the compost pile. But recently I had a dog in the neighborhood pulling out plants in my front garden, and shitting in it. Spreading some of the coffee grounds seemed very effective against that too. I guess the dog doesn't like the smell. So it;'s a win-win because the plants profit from it directly too :D

  • Savoring the season; Autumn and Winter coffee
  • martijn martijn Now 100%

    Milk might be a good option, it's creaminess also adds to the seasonal flavor ofcourse

  • It's the time for cozy moments, and there is nothing quite like a steaming cup of coffee to warm your spirits. By infusing your coffee with flavors suited for these seasons you can create delightful beverages that are not only delicious but great for making memories. What are your favourite stay-inside recipes? Cinnamon adds a warm and comforting aroma to coffee, try getting the best organic cinnamon rolls you can get and grind them in your spice grinder. A pinch of this spice not only brings flavor, but it's said that it might support a better health. It's sweet and woody notes make it perfect for the darker days ahead. Crushed up almonds can enhance and enrich your coffee by adding a more nutty flavor. Just a few almonds inside of your pourover or immersion brew can make it have a luxurious taste. Almonds add a depth to the brew and changes up your regular cup. Coca nibs are less suited for an immersion brew, but for short filtration they can add an explosive taste to your cup. Be sure to use raw unsweetened nibs, to benefit from their warmth and antioxidants that contribute to your well-being. Do you have any other great additions? How about mixing up your brew with spiced herbal tea?

  • Add a little spice to your coffee
  • martijn martijn Now 100%

    When is the best moment to add the spice. Do you stir it in after making the coffee?

  • First pan roast
  • martijn martijn Now 100%

    Looks uneven indeed, but the most important thing is that it tasted good. Maybe you can continuously stir it next time? A roaster basically stirs continuously

  • Moka Pot or AeroPress
  • martijn martijn Now 100%

    Like most other replies, it really depends on your usage and taste. I personally prefer a Moka pot over an aeropress. But I also like my Hario V60 for filter coffee, so the aeropress iszcloser to that. Hence the choice for a Moka pot is clear, it's a bit more of a difference.

    So weigh your options as what you already have and like.

    Easy solvable. Develop in strict mode with all notices enabled. Should be the default for any developer.

  • Where do I buy coffee filters for Hario v60?
  • martijn martijn Now 100%

    Depends on where you're located, but most coffee stores and cooking stores sell them here (if one doesn't have them, the next one will).

    I'm able to get brown paper based ones that fit made by Melitta in some supermarkets too. But they are harder too find.

  • Help making light brews
  • martijn martijn Now 100%

    That would be too obvious. 😂. I wonder, how light is your roast? You mention them being a light roast, and extracting at a lower temperature. Maybe the original taste was even lighter than what you have currently?

    It's pretty ok. I find it to be a nice continuation of the series.

    I have this on the post you linked too, but also on some, but not all, comments from other servers. The workaround described here doesn't seem to work for everything for me.

  • martijn martijn Now 100%

    Yeah that's right, if you need to brew a few batches and keep it warm then it's awesome. But for just a large cup, I can do the manual labour 😂. I love them all, and every piece of hardware in there serves a purpose

    I love it, for larger batches it's really useful. Moccamasterwis great to, and wins it designwise.

    We have a store in the Netherlands that's called xenos. If you use the search on their website (xenos.nl), for the word 'wandrek' you will get their sizes and options

  • Yes, I know that's an airfryer but I don't roast beans in it. This is my new setup as per yesterday. Missing is the Hario hand grinder here. Most used equipment is most likely the V60 on the right. That's my daily brewer.

    What are you fine folks drinking today?

    My boss brought me Smith & Dorlas coffee, tried that for the first time. I like a bit of a lighter roast, but in all fairness they're pretty decent 👌

  • A bit of a strange title, but I couldn't come up with something more summarising. A few weeks ago I've ended up getting to the hospital. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Since then by reading leaflets, browsing the web and consulting specialists, I've learned that the disorder and diabetes can influence both positive and negative on each other. While I believe that's true in a heartbeat, it's hard to find good research on it in a normal readable way (not too medical). Anyone in a similar situation or just interested with some good material to read?

    I've been ordering and visiting some of these roasters at their businesses. They're small, and very knowledgeable. They're worth a visit or an order to test them out. [Koffiestation - Groningen](https://koffiestation.nl/) Small roasters that deliver by bike in the city of Groningen. They have a great starter pack and tasting pack. [Black and Bloom - Groningen](https://blackandbloom.nl/) Winner of several awards with a very cozy shop near the university. Also sells great baked sides. [Fascino Coffee - Weert](https://www.fascino-coffee.com/) Medium sized roaster with a great consistent set of beans that you can rely on. [Kahawa Pakaya - Norg](https://www.pakayakoffie.nl/) Speciality coffee from the eastern countries in Africa. Great flavours in pretty packaging. [Giraffe Coffee - Rotterdam](https://giraffecoffee.com/) Roasters with an enormous passion for coffee, and you can taste it. [Moyee - Amsterdam](https://www.moyeecoffee.com/) Hip and vibrant packaging, they sell a coffee subscription that uses a different microlot every time. Their regular coffee is very reliable and well balanced. [Rum Baba - Amsterdam](https://rumbaba.nl/) Bold and unique coffee flavours. Delivers by bike in Amsterdam.

    All resources look official, by name and by images. Maybe it's better to highlight the community part since using the projectname directly has the appearance of being official or endorsed.
