Still sounds strange but I’ll try it out ; )

They send out a Brewsletter! : D

I packed my pour-over things, and… was wildly unsuccessful…

Did you figure out what went wrong while travelling? (I’d suspect the local water first.)

The electricians are at peace.
The last solenoid is in captivity.

Baking soda?! I found alkaline water gave terrible results, do you add it after brewing?

To minimize bitterness with a fast brew as others have mentioned, try out CTC black tea, it’s machined (“crush-tear-curl”) tea that comes in a coarse powder/pellet form and extracts completely and quickly due to enormous surface area. You’ll be sure to find it some an Indian grocery store. Brooke Bond Red Label, Lipton Yellow Label, and Wagh Bakri are the names I remember seeing, IIRC I’ve tried all of those and they’re all about the same. Terrible sounding process name but give it a chance!

If no more sugar will dissolve I’d take that as a sign that it’s time to stop adding sugar. I mean, the water is saying so.

But wait! I just discovered that the Pipamoka is made by Wacaco! 🤣🤣 Absolute gold mine, this thread.

Even just saying the name is intrinsically funny.

“Bripe!”

The cherry be scary.

If GH was the first band you thought of then we can still be friends ; )

Hail Hoots!

Did you happen to see the next most recent post in this c/? 🤣

My whole family got a hotel when our delayed plane made us miss a connection and that was five years back.

I don’t fly much and sleepable benches helps me feel like that’s the right thing to not do.

You’ve heard of the elf on the shelf, now get ready for…
mouse eye in boba chai.

Absolutely won’t be taking off on that plane; it’s not going to be a 30-minute Safelite AeroGlass™️ appointment. And airlines don’t keep planes sitting around not making money so they won’t have a spare aircraft available to fly that route so all the passengers will likely get hotel and meal vouchers and changed tickets for the next day.

And one time we even dumped it all in the harbor!

Where do you live that has friendly engineers?

I’ll be trying to home-roast some decaf eventually; any tips?

I just did the same - end of a batch and there wasn’t enough so I mixed some of the next for a medium-light + dark blend. Good if not great, and certainly interesting.

how do I upvote and downvote at the same time
