minimum dose size?

Jan 31, 2024 |

I use the Hario switch to brew my coffee and am trying to reduce my caffeine consumption. Hence I would like to brew smaller cups of coffee. I am currently using 10g of coffee with 160g of water. (1:16 Ratio) I am wondering if there is a minimum amount of coffee...

Our favorite holiday movie moments

Each year when the holiday season starts we start watching our favorite holiday movies. There are so many iconic and classic films to choose from, we start watching earlier and earlier each year just so we can watch them all. I’m sure some of these are your favorites, but let us know if we forgot any. 

We also turned some of our favorite moments in to GIFs you can share by searching for “death wish coffee holidays” from our Giphy account. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

 

DIE HARD

Let’s just end the debate once and for all—”Die Hard” is a Christmas movie. It’s clearly set around the holiday season with John McClaine’s wife having her holiday office party featuring multiple Christmas trees. Plus, how can you forget the iconic line, “Now I have a machine gun! Ho-Ho-Ho!” And yeah, we made one for that moment too because it’s the perfect GIF to share when you get what you want.

ELF

It’s hard to believe that “Elf” only came out in 2003 because it is just that classic. So many amazing moments: When Buddy the Elf leaves to go find his dad and says goodbye to the narwhal, when Buddy shows the family how he eats spaghetti, or when he sings along with Jovie in the bathroom at Gimbles.

 

One of the most iconic lines in the whole movie is when Buddy meets the in-store Santa and is enraged because he KNOWS that it isn’t the real Santa. Making it the perfect GIF to share to anyone who might not be telling you the whole truth. Also, we obviously know that Buddy really did know Santa, because he made sure to let everyone know:

 

NATIONAL LAMPOON’S CHRISTMAS VACATION

In what might be the most perfect depiction of dealing with the holiday season alongside your family, “Christmas Vacation” is one of the most quotable movies of all time, not just at Christmas. 

 

Cousin Eddie says it all, and sure does his best to get under Clark’s skin throughout the whole visit. When you watch this movie, do you say all the quotes aloud to your TV, or is that just us?

SCROOGED

It seems like every year there is a new version of the classic tale “A Christmas Carol” but our seminal favorite is this version starring the iconic Bill Murray. The cast is a perfect storm of some of the funniest people working in movies in the 80s, including Carol Kane, Bobcat Goldthwait, John Glover, and Robert freakin Goulet! If you have never seen this classic we recommend streaming this immediately before you become like Scrooge and forget the true meaning of the season.

EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS

While there are a ton of Christmas movies to choose from, there aren’t that many surrounding the holiday of Chanukah, so Adam Sandler stepped up to create this animated classic. From all of his funny voices to the true heartfelt journey his main character Davey goes through, this movie can warm even the coldest of hearts. Plus, the songs are all peak Adam Sandler including an updated version of his classic Hanukkah song.

Perfect Little Beans

Chinmey Hill Coffee uses specialty-grade beans with zero primary defects (such as black beans or sour beans) and less than five secondary defects (such as broken beans). This is important because primary defects will greatly affect the taste of the coffee. Having zero defects allows the coffee to be the most optimal flavor.

Window for Optimal Flavor

Chimney Hill Coffee ships our coffee the same day it was roasted, so you will receive it before it enters the window of optimal flavor.  This means you’ll never miss the opportunity to enjoy the coffee’s peak flavor.

Coffee Ratings

Coffee undergoes many scoring processes by professionals who achieved their Q Grader certification. Coffee is first graded when it’s green. If there are defects the coffee is determined to be “not-specialty grade”. For those coffees that pass green grading, they are sample roasted and cupped. (Cupping is the official term for critically tasting and scoring coffees. The official cupping form is standard worldwide, and where the 100-point scoring system comes from.) A coffee’s dry fragrance, wet aroma, flavor, aftertaste, body, acidity, balance, and overall impression are taken into consideration while uniformity issues and defects, will lower the overall score.

Specialty Coffee

Specialty coffee, coined by Erna Knutsen in 1974, refers to a coffee that receives a quality grading score of 80 percent or higher. While “premium” or “gourmet” seem like they’re synonymous with “specialty,” they simply are marketing terms with no defined standards. Specialty coffees are grown in specific and ideal micro-climates, and have distinctive and unique flavor profiles, with little to no defects.

Third-Wave Coffee

We’re currently in the third wave of coffee. The first wave of American coffee put pre-ground, vacuum-sealed cans in kitchens across America. The second wave started with the late ‘60s introduction of Peet’s coffee (by Alfred Peet) through the proliferation of Starbucks. The third wave of coffee focuses on origin transparency, nuanced flavors, and artisan roasting. The term “third wave” is synonymous with specialty coffee.
