What’s going on with Apple Sports? Game is 21-3 at half…they show OU scoring 3 pts in 1st quarter, TX scoring 21 pts in 2nd quarter, and that results in 15-3??

BBC assigned a misleading title. Apple settled to avoid spending the time, money, and PR mess of adjudicating this in the court.

I really like James Hoffmann’s French Press technique: Hoffmann’s Ultimate French Press

Oh man there are so many starting points! If I understand the goals you gave us, they are:

  • Want good coffee
  • No pour over
  • Willing to do French Press
  • Minimize grounds in the brew
  • Single serve
  • Brother-in-law is too intense about it for my current state

With that I would recommend an AeroPress. It is great for single serving, it extracts using immersion first (similar to French Press) then pressure, the paper filter ensures it will be a clean cup (no grounds), it is much easier to clean up than a French Press, and there a lot of different recipes to play with should you ever choose to. Plus it’s relatively cheap.

Cold brew is also nice, especially when made in batches. You can probably already do this with vessels you have at home. Toddy cold brew is a well-known system. I also have (and prefer) the Oxo cold brew system - I find it easier to handle and looks better on the counter.

If you are willing to get a burr grinder you will immediately make better coffee, regardless of the method you choose! There are many directions to go here, so you will need to research to find what makes most sense to you. Skip the blade grinder. Conical burr is fine for what you’re getting into. A safe bet that will work fine for French Press, AeroPress, and/or Cold Brew is the Oxo Brew Conical Burr Grinder that you can find for around $100 in the US.

There are so many deep rabbit holes from there. Maybe you’ll come join us someday…it’s a lot of fun and one of my favorite hobbies! Sounds like your brother-in-law is lost somewhere down here too. We all started asking the same questions as you!

Just pulled an espresso blend (Brazil, Guatemala, Honduras; washed and natural) on my Cafelat Robot.

Thanks for this! Will start slow feeding and see how it changes.

Based on the theory here, slow feeding doesn’t make the grounds finer, but actually overall coarser by reducing fines on the same grinder setting. So although you are adjusting to a lower number (finer setting) on your grinder, the actual particles are not finer, but more uniformly distributed. Bottom line: you should definitely try this for your pour overs!

I agree! I love my 1zpresso K-Max and use it daily for pour over (V60, Orea V3) and use it for espresso (Cafelat Robot) when we go camping.

This is the most elegant 2-in-1 I’ve seen to date, AND it fast charges iPhone (15W) and AW (5W). Price is steep and the only thing making me hesitate on grabbing one.

Edit: Also I wouldn’t mind a space gray option. Looks like it only comes in silver.

I prefer the glass versions to ceramic, as ceramic really sucks the heat out of the slurry. Hario has a beautiful glass v60. Also I have the new glass Orea V3 flat bottom brewer.

I can’t wait until this comes back!

Thanks for posting this! I’ve had the same experience with the new glass Orea as the author describes with the Brewista Next Wave Duo.

I pulled out my Hario Switch today and realized I’ve only really experimented with Tetsu Kasuya’s “God Recipe” (pasted below for those interested). Overall I’ve found the cups to be smooth and sweet. I don’t love the minor fuss of the temp drop, but it’s an interesting approach.

What other recipes have you used for the Switch? I appreciate any recommendations in advance!

Tetsu Kasuya’s “God Recipe” https://youtu.be/gC8K40kZ_6E

20 grams of coffee and 280 grams of water. Three pour structure with a temp drop and immersion on the 3rd pour. Okay to grind a little finer than usual.

  • 0:00-0:30: Pour 60 grams at 90-93C. Switch open, let it flow.
  • 0:30-1:00: Pour 60 grams at 90-93C. Switch open, let it flow.
  • 1:00-1:15: Close the Switch. Drop water temp to about 70C and pour in 160 grams of water (total is now 280 g).
  • 1:15-1:45: Let the immersion take place. 1:45:-3:00: Open the Switch and let drawdown occur. Try to aim for a grind size that allows the drawdown to complete at ~ 3:00. Close switch at 3:00 if not finished.

The cup should have acidic note separation initially but the body will be round and sweet with little to no bitterness.

Maybe, but 5 hours isn’t much time for a true cold brew. I am leaning towards cold drip, where the ice water slowly drips onto the grounds. In the right setup maybe that would take 5 hours.

I wonder why they chose not to integrate HomeKit Secure Video into their new wired doorbell. Maybe to force you to purchase their subscription plan? Either way, my search for a good vertical view HKSV continues!

Yeah I loved that thing!
