Also, to really clear odors, set it outside in the sun. This helped when my mom's souvenir thermos had a milk based drink for who knows how many weeks, not dishwasher safe. Hydrogen peroxide sealed and shaken inside could help too, though I haven't tried it.

A vigorous shake with a teaspoon of laundry booster with hot water completely got all the residue out of my Stanley travel mug and big Stanley thermos. The rubber bits and crevices take a little extra attention with a brush but I was amazed how fast it solved the problem.

Boris Galerkin posted:I really like the artist series designs for the fellow Carter mugs. It tends to seep into plastics and silicone rings. It’s not the metal that holds the odor. So if it’s used as a travel mug and you drink through the lid at work and can only rinse it? Yeah, it starts to taste bad. I’ve tried oxyclean, vinegar, espresso machine cleaners, sunlight, and bleach. Nothing takes it all out of the plastic and silicone. If you can clean it right away i expect it will take longer to smell and taste bad. Anyway, but something with parts you can replace.

I use a Fellow Carter and appreciate the fact that the coffee tastes at least somewhat similar to what I poured into it. Mugs like the Zojirushi make your coffee taste like nothing because you don't get any sort of aroma through the sippy cup style top. The Carter isn't great for people wanting to drink "on the move" though.

Oh right, yeah like I said I'm not interested in anything with a sippy hole or anything. I want to actually unscrew the top and drink it like a mug. The tiny sippy hole lids in my experience are a pain to clean because of all the grooves and moving parts. Drinking it "on the go" for me means drinking it sitting down on a bus or standing up at the bus stop. Not walking around and drinking it as I move. I like the kinto because it has the handle but I'm now finding out that the part you drink out of is plastic? E: I'm the weirdo at work that washes my mug (and the office coffee pots) every day with a brush and soap. Everyone else just rinses their mugs under the water and call it a day.

I use this Zojirushi mug and love it. It's a normal screw top and I've been using it for a couple years with no issues. A bonus is that it's more compact and lightweight compared to the standard Fellow or Miir mugs you see everywhere. A downside is that means it's too compact for some direct brewing methods like Aeropress or even a V60. I just brew into a different glass server so it's no problem https://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-SM-ZB36-HM-Stainless-Seamless-Drinking-dp-B0B8D3X33M/dp/B0B8D3X33M/ref=dp_ob_title_kitchen

How well does the ceramic coating in the fellow carter tumblers hold up? I didn't realize it was a coating like a nonstick pan and I'm worried bottle brushes are gonna scratch the poo poo out of it and get in my drink.

When will our burgeoning coffee nerd community come up with a Dyson style vortex particle size selector? In goes the virgin hodge podge, out comes only the beautiful chad grounds. Fines and boulders can gently caress right off, though some YouTubers of culture have done excellent experiments mixing back in the perfect 0.5g of fines  The idea has a 20% chance to work, which is perfect for $400,000 in kickstarter funding within the first 4 days. Who's with me?

Any recommendations for a hand grinder for espresso? Espresso-only, 20g max. From cursory googling and bullshit removal I'm eyeballing the 1Zpresso J Ultra/ or Max, BPlus Apollo ($$$), or the KINGrinder K6. For some reason I had bookmarked the Apollo some time ago but I can't remember why.

The x-ultra is also an option in the 1z line. It's not specifically an espresso only grinder, but it apparently is very good all around. I only use my x-pro for filter so I can't say anything about espresso

I have had a 1z JX for a year and a half now, but i still give the commandante c40 longing glances about once a month, and the fact that it still holds up as a real contender (or in many cases is still regarded as the gold standard) even today has to mean something. I’ll probably upgrade to that before autumn. I can’t stand the over-engineered design on all the newer 1z grinders personally

Ok so I’ve had my espresso machine + grinder for almost a month now (Rancilio Silvia and a Bezzera BB005), and have gotten to the point where I can now make a pretty solid latte, as well as dial in my grind setting pretty consistently (at some point in the future I will definitely be upgrading the grinder though). However, the temperature just loving skyrocketed and I’m about to switch to iced coffee for the foreseeable future. I love the texture of steamed milk but is it stupid to try to make it with an iced drink?

I’ve steamed it before and it’s good, but usually I’ll either just add cold milk and ice, or make a shakerato. Definitely worth it, and we both like it more than cold brew.

Does anyone use a Zero water jug or anything like it? Any good? We're in a really hard water area so tap water isn't an option without some kind of aggressive filter. Currently buying bottled but I'd prefer to find an alternative that doesn't involve purchasing plastic bottles and consuming even more microplastics. Counter top and under counter systems are probably not an option, don't really have the space and I might be murdered if I buy more kitchen gadgets. Although if there's something relatively compact that can be used for both coffee and drinking water I can probably sell that as an alternative to the filter jug we currently use for drinking.

it dont matter posted:Does anyone use a Zero water jug or anything like it? Any good? We use a Zero Water jug as we can't buy food-safe distilled/deionised water here (UK). It works well, but is expensive as the filters don't last very long with our very hard tap water. We use a brita/bwt filter jug for drinking water as it's much cheaper. You don't want to use straight ZW for coffee without re-mineralising, though. It won't taste good, and if you're using it in an espresso machine it can cause corrosion. Depending on your tap water you might be able to get away with doing a mix of tap + ZW, or you can fall down the rabbit hole of making/buying mineral concentrates to make up your own coffee water. See here for a primer and links to various spreadsheets/recipes: https://espressoaf.com/guides/water.html

Yeah that's fine I figured I'd end up going down the make your own water rabbit hole. gently caress it, why not. I'm also in the UK. Thought distilled water was pretty easy to find online, but it's expensive (and more plastic bottles). How do you find the BWT? We've got a filter jug for drinking water but it's poo poo, takes ages to filter through and often have to remove and reseat the filter or it just seems to get blocked up. I'm ready to bin it. it dont matter fucked around with this message at 12:44 on May 24, 2024 |

They're fine, we just use the Mg+ cartridges because we thought it tasted better than the equivalent Brita ones, buy them when they're discounted, change every few weeks. Haven't loved any of these things tbh, none of the jugs pour well (with the exception of the zero water which seems to be ok), they're all annoying to clean, and i really dislike the amount of plastic involved.
