no on Kerri's; they don't get hot enough. maybe for tea, but not for coffee. Order from Black and White Coffee Roasters; there are a couple great brothers involved with that company. Also try Three Keys Coffee which is based out of Houston. Husband and wife team doing great things down there

Cool. Mylar bag?

You know what's up - that's my favorite roaster. Drinking a pourover of the Yabitu Koba as I type.

@TripleAgent In addition to Black and White, you can't go wrong with:

Sweet Bloom
Onyx
Brio
Regalia
Parlor
Sey
Idle Hands
Ruby

What do you guys like more? Hario Dripper or Clever Dripper? I'm considering purchasing one of them.

BTW I think I made some of the best cold brew I've made! I had to cold brew it for over 24 hours and seal it in a container as to not expose it to air and oxidize it. It's not nearly as bitter as my previous iterations.

@s@n Forgot to ask. What to use to cold brew?

Is it worth me dropping $200 on one of these Fellow Gooseneck Kettles

First day trying the Kenyan coffee.

Not bad. I’ve actually had this before without knowing it. I guess I went to a cafe once and they served this because the flavor is very familiar.

Good coffee. Not my favorite. I don’t find it too acidic or anything. I’ll finish the bag for sure. But I’m probably not going to buy it again.

Gonna take a few weeks to go through it.

I prefer French Press and I make a concentrate. I also recommend brewing the coffee for over 24 hours otherwise the coffee tastes bitter and not as full.

I also recommend a coarser grind for a cold brew.

I would never get this.

Every Moka pot I go thru ends up looking like shyt after 6 weeks. It still makes a good coffee.

But I wouldn’t want something too pretty because it won’t look good for long.

the clever is fantastic for playing with dwell (contact) time. Hario makes the v60 pourer in many mediums (copper, glass, plastic) and each will have slightly different extraction dynamics because of that, but you won't go wrong with either. Plenty of great vids on YouTube for that

@s@n Forgot to ask. What to use to cold brew?

my bad! It depends on body vs top end flavor and acid. A cold brew is with a coarser ground and long dwell time, because there is less surface area to extract. There will be some soluble that slough off in the process, resulting in a more body-forward brew. If you use a flash brew technique where you brew what is essentially a double weight of coffee over ice (usually something that will amount to about half of your final preferred volume), the acidic notes are preserved. It's similar to flash freezing veggies.

you have a nice prosumer setup with the scale and brewer, I hope you have a good grinder. Bodum makes great conicals close to 100$. If you don't mind a manual conical, the Hario Skeleton is great, and you can actually to a hand drill mod

I bought a Baratza Virtuoso Plus during the pandemic so I think I'm set.

The Porlex Hand Grinder is nice.
