Hey everyone, I've been in the market for a new scale and have been looking at the Acaia Pearl. But the Pearl S has me scratching my head trying to figure out who that model is intended for. For example if you're brewing both pour over and espresso, is the...

Understanding the "body" of coffee in different brew methods- paper vs metal
(cross-posted in James Hoffman group) Hi Everyone, I primarly drink lattes and so most of my focus is in that direction. However, I do like to have other tools at my disposal. I currently own a Clever and a Hario Mugen as well. I like the Mugen for light roasts, and...
What to consider when buying a new filter holder? (Delonghi ECI341 machine)
Hey guys, I know pretty much nothing about espresso machines, but my DeLonghi ECI341 does not seem to work even though it's been repaired so I'd like to try buying a new filter holder to try and see if the issue might be there. However, the holder specific...
Taste difference between French press and Phin filter?
Today I wanted to compare them and used the same amount of coffee and water in both. I've waited the same amount (I think 5 mins) and I noticed firstly that both coffees foamed but only the glass I poured the French press coffee into the cup the foam transferred...
The last key I needed to get an amazing cup of coffee: temperature control
TL;DR: changing methods made my kettle temperature drop alot by accident, which made me realize how much temperature matters (after I measured the drop using a thermometer), started brewing at 90c, went from good to amazing cups. I have a feeling this post might sound...
How does the taste / smell of coffee change over time?
I got gifted a 1 kilo bag of arabica coffee (whole beans), "medium lightly roasted for pour over / percolator". I use a french press, so that fits. The taste is described as "mild and spicy" (in German, I hope I translated that correctly). I drank...
Office coffee station
I have $2000 budget for a coffee station for the office that is easy enough to use for non-baristas and still delivers good shots. It would pour 10-20 shots a day. What boiler size would you recommend? Which combination of grinder and coffee machine would go you for...

They way they did or even still do out on the trail. Some do pour overs, some do French press, some do percolator, and some do cowboy coffee. Without electricity what is your favorite or best method. I also let mine sit for a while longer than recommended. I like a...
Airpots
Given the circumstances, does using Airpots to deliver hot water into French Press viable? I intend to use this in my small pop-up shop to minimise the waiting time for boiling water from electric kettle. I haven't seen one and i am not sure if the keep warm...
What price point do you find is the transition point from ‘ok’ brand to ‘great’ beans?
Was buying Kicking Horse for $10/lb for a long while. Tried a Monogram subscription due to a Black Friday sale a few years back. Price was about $16 for 350 grams. Didn’t think it would have that big of an effect but I was wrong. I know this a highly subjective...

What’s your favourite “happy accident” that lead to a great cup of coffee?
Was brewing in my chemex, which is something I only do a few times a week, and I forgot to change the grind setting from French press to pour over. I caught my mistake about 15 g in and decided to simply switch the remaining coffee to pour over grind, I wound up with...

I'm a coffee NERD. Been in the industry almost 8 years now. Competed in a handful of art throwdowns. Run my own cafe. I cannot for the life of me pour advanced art. I can do the heart, Rosetta, slowsetta, even 9 layer tulips (you can see some of my work on IG...
How to watch out espresso brewing time and the yield in Gram simultaneously?
Hi, i try to hit a perfect ratio, but as per title, sometimes i missed to stop my espresso brewing, and therefore it came out bitter over extracted. I always in the golden range 20-30s, for 1:2 ratio dose to yield. but sometimes, when you focus on the timer, you miss...
Anyone that has had the chance to try the new Fellow Opus, how does it compare to the Ode 2?
I jumped on the Ode 2 with the ssp burrs the minute it went live and I’ve been pretty happy with it, but reading that the Opus can grind to even Turkish coffee levels of fine has me really intrigued. Does anyone have any knowledge they can share with me comparing the...
New Grinder advice?
I have only recently dug deep into my coffee obsession, so please give me some rope here. Until a few months ago I used a blade grinder. I bought a cheap hand grinder and I couldn’t believe the difference it made. Well, that’s starting to break down because it’s a lot...
How many tablespoons of coffee do you guys typically go through in a single day?
I was trying to sort of get a handle on my caffeine intake and was just curious if my usage was average or not. I have a little Oxo single cup pour-over device, and usually I use two tablespoons of ground coffee per cup. Typically I make two cups of joe every morning...

What’s the next step up from grocery store coffee beans/grounds? Want to improve my knowledge
I know about Equal Exchange and the 'better' brands found in grocery stores, but I know they pale in comparison to the types of special beans that coffee connoisseurs use. I am somewhere being knowing enough so that I can avoid the burnt and stale coffee...

Water temp changes flow rate?!
I've been staying consistently within about 3 seconds for my drain times on the v60, so when I tried different temps at the same grind size, I was surprised to see the flow slowed down drastically as water temp lowered. With 99 degrees C, I was getting about 2:25...

My 6 cup moka pot makes about a mug of black coffee. And i often brew 2 or 3 mugs a day, filling the funnel thing to the top. I figured drinking black coffee 6 cups at a time might be a bit too much. can anyone do the math on how much caffeine that makes per day? Id...
