Maybe not the best, and perhaps not quite considered London, but I always love the black lab just outside clapham common station.

This is excellent! Thank you for sharinf

My friend, you are one of today’s lucky 10,000. Check out James Hoffman. He’s great!

Truthfully?

So it’s possible to run it without signing up. Thats good news. All the reviews seem to say it’s a requirement for the initial set up

Are there any special steps to get your set up? I imagine you need to side load your apps because the play store won’t work, but is there anything else?

I suppose I could use someone else’s account for initial set up. I’ve had a look and it seems nextdns allows different profiles per device, so I’ll just block as many google domains as I can that way

That’s disappointing, but not surprising. Probably no point in shelling out for a shield if it’s not as powerful with Lineage

Tbh, I’d be happy with side loading both Plex and revanced, but from what I’ve seen, it won’t initialize without a google account

I’ve not heard about this. Does anyone have a link to share? Can’t find one myself

What do you mean with “went to bed”?

Are pre cut filters available to buy, or do you need to cut them yourself? I feel like an aeropress filter might be about the right size, but don’t own one so hard to say

That’s the unifilter. The one where the basket and portafilter are all one single piece. They then released just the basket which can fit in any portafilter.

I did get the price wrong though. It’s $85

This was a well written and interesting piece from someone who knows about the subject matter. What a refreshing piece of content. Thank you for sharing

Oh man, that’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I just need to find someone who sells it in Europe

Totally get where you’re coming from, but aesthetics matter to me

I’ve looked at steel ones, but I don’t find them very pretty. Would be happy enough with a clear plastic one, that I think would be a decent middle ground for durability, aesthetics and price

Well all I can say is thank you, kind internet stranger. I tried grinding finer, and got a really lovely sweet and balanced cup. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting anything, but it was like a completely different bean.

When I first got the bag, I tried grinding in the middle of the “pour over” range on the niche (35), which gave the results I describes initially. Ended up pulling back and settling on 40. It was pleasant there, but nothing special. This morning I tried 30, which felt extreme, but it was super nice!

I learned something new today thanks to your post!

I’m not super sure how light it is. I would have said it’s a medium roast, but the bag said it was for filter. Maybe it’s the chocolatier notes that I’m kind of disappointed with and tried to escape from with the courser grind, but who knows. The coffee’s nice, but it’s Brazilian, so I should really have seen this coming.

I’ll give a finer grind a try tomorrow. Like you say, it’s pretty easy to experiment, so why the hell not! I’ve been using water straight from the boil to brew. Seems to work well, and I don’t see any point in playing around with that. I got a next level so that I wouldn’t need to upgrade my crappy kettle, and I’m quite happy with that for now. Grinder is a niche, so I don’t think I’ll be upgrading that any time soon either. I realise it’s probably not the best for pour over, but I’m happy with it.

Either way, I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the tips

That’s interesting. I’m starting down the road of pour overs with a next level. I’ve previously been exclusively an espresso drinker.

The latest beans were feeling over extracted to me, so I’ve gone courser. The result has been pretty good, but maybe a bit light.

Would you try finer in this case, or would you stick to the pleasant, but lighter extraction?

Organic maps is great, but falls down when you’re searching for local businesses
