my understanding is that they “bake” when they are heated too slowly. you have to start them off low enough to avoid scorching but some preheating protocol is still needed

i just figure if they dont crack maybe they are baking instead of roasting

i know nothing about coffee but my thoughts/questions are: is it getting hot enough? is preheating needed? is the air circulating enough? are the beans being agitated too much?

anyone else irked that the flapper column doesn’t say “crack wise”?

works, can confirm. not sure if its bad for me but its an immense relief

it is amazing and unusual to me when they do happen to seem right.

i very often cannot find anything like the provided flavors either

the grind is indeed less consistent on this grinder the coarser you go. also take it apart and check your setup (no stuck beans/fragments, gasket in the right place, upper burr wiggled down into place with red tab at around the 30 setting position. it sits down a little when you’re close and when you wiggle it around it should sit down a bit more and only barely turn.)

do you time the steeping

chicory is often added to coffee for flavor

those things are animated dust

how much for the memory of an age that never existed?

looks flakey to me, not solid at all. but ill give you a million slaves’ souls for it just for the exclusive right to tear this down and build a billionaire ballroom with express mcds delivery to it

there are so many other words/terms like this too.

that little discontinuity/buckle in the floor near the end of the wall on the hallway side feels pretty sketchy

luv’n it

on letterboxd you can filter a user’s watchlist for matches in your own or filter out stuff you’ve already seen. handy.

interesting. that definition of app store pretty much applies to everything.

yeah, this happens for me when microwaving water in clean glass container. not pleasant, it goes off like a bomb in there. have mitigated it by putting a wood stick in the water, but later learned to just measure the water carefully and run the microwave only as long as needed.

theres no prescription here. but i go for “hot as i can get it by boiling off the water i can get to rest on it by then microwaving it”. for me thats a good tradeoff in time, effort, and energy/water waste. no clue if it really helps the brewing that much but it stands to reason that the ceramic does steal some heat if its room temp. i do it right before. brewing. i also freeze my cup, so the resulting coffee winds up being perfect drinking temp right away after its done brewing xD
