SlinkyMink posted:How can consistency vary between an electric and a hand grinder? That's genuinely interesting. I've never heard that be a thing before. Does the variability in speed on the drive shaft change the grind somehow? Burr RPM changes the distribution of coffee particle size quite a lot. Good article on it: https://www.baristahustle.com/blog/coffee-grinder-rpm/

Key with inverted is to put the top on and gently press out the air. Extremely satisfying watching the filter suddenly darken as the liquid meets it. That way your plunger is further in and there's minimal chance of accidents.

ulvir posted:lance hedrick's latest video on "seasoning" is a big steaming pile. massaged axes to make any change, whatever it's showing, seem larger than it is, most of the graphs don't show any significant change at all, and then he's doubling down on reddit and in the comments to deflect from the very obvious elephant in the room of sustainability and pointless food waste from such a dogshit recommendation "please grind through 5-20kg of coffee that you won't drink because it makes the grinder so much better, but oh no I didn't say you had to, is little baby mad at data?" Yeah I really wasn't a fan of it and if, as it seems, it's about blunting the burrs then surely just run a file across them a couple of times? In cooler coffee science news Chris Hendon of the turbo shot paper has started a podcast. It's him and a post doc with an invited coffee professional doing a review of an interesting paper. I've enjoyed the first two episodes https://podcastaddict.com/coffee-lit-rev/episode/173845898

Vegetable posted:The slow feed thing feels like a problem grinders should solve. Standing over your grinder and slow-pouring your beans is so goofy. Not to mention it keeps you closest to the noisy thing at a time you want to be farthest from it. Augers do this and from what i understand you can't replicated the single bean finding on grinders that have them

Pilfered Pallbearers posted:His specific recipe for pour over actually has some basis behind it. It wasn’t about hyperfancy beans, but hyperfancy grinders. His claim is that most pour over recipes by big YouTubers are conceived on $2k grinders that you’re unlikely to have access to. The whole fines discourse is ridiculous. The majority of YouTubers go on about less fines being good but the majority of your surface area of your coffee (and therefore the actual coffee) comes from fines. Watch a video of someone who sifts out the fines from.coffee and brews it, they universally say it's awful.

Corb3t posted:Fellow just announced their Aiden smart connected pourover machine for $365. It looks pretty cool if pourover is your jam: Played around with one a little at the London coffee festival yesterday. Looked good from a far but was pretty plasticky when I got to touch it. Removable water tank was nice but the head didn't look very different to a cheap drip machine. That said I didn't get a chance to try and coffee from it and they might have done enough neat software stuff to make things better.
