I bought a Hario cold brew pitcher. 80g of grounds steeped for 24 hours is perfect.

80g for how much H2O, and how many glasses do you get out of that? We built a japanese drip using a cone-shaped separatory funnel (it arrived at the lab with a tiny notch in the glass/glass wedge and I opted to "upcycle" it) and a chemex, but it only holds about 500ml. The coffee is fantastic, but 500ml even highly concentrated doesn't last too long around our house..


In other coffee news, Marseille finally got a proper third-wave shop/roaster so life has vastly improved. They've got that hipster vibe on point but who cares, the coffee is killer good.

80g of coffee for a 1000ml pitcher- the marker on the glass that's even with the bottom of the filter is 800ml.
Depending on how concentrated you like it, that's about 6 servings. (~3 days for me when working from home.)

I had a cup of 24hr brew juice last week in Athens, Ohio...smooth for sure.

Oh good grief. That contraption looks like Rube Goldberg resurrected! Pretty cool.
I used to do some botanical (fragrance) extractions using soxhlet extractors. I still have all the glassware, maybe I should re-purpose some very expensive chemistry equipment???

Thanks Rw - It's nice to have my confirmation bias confirmed;-)

My roaster blew up and the Behmor 1600 Plus is virtually unobtainable.

Josh,

Where are you on a replacement? Buddy of mine is lugging 10kg of some yet to be determined green Ethiopian bean here from Qatar, and it might (might!) prove to be my gateway drug to a roaster.

I've got two possibilities. If and when Behmor A/B begins to supply their distributors I'll get that. Also, if and when Behmor releases their new "retro" small batch roaster I'll sell a kidney for the simple reason I never roast only 1 lbs of coffee.

Josh: If you are looking for > 1 lb., have you considered the Bullet?

Aillio Bullet R1 Roaster

...not in stock for very long when Sweet Maria's gets them, but you could also order direct from the factory and get it. This is the one I'm lusting after, but my Gene Cafe is still plugging along.

Nice looking machine. Thanks much.

I had a look at the bullet at MICS last year, wasn't sold on the induction concept. Fully prepared to be proven wrong.

Driving from Copperhill, Va to DC we stopped for a bite to eat in the tiny town of Lovingston, Va. Guess what is in Lovinston Va.? Why only some of the best roasters in the USA of A Trager Brothers Coffee No kidding, I was duly impressed with the entire operation not to mention outstanding coffee.

Now that I'm (clutch pearls) without a working roaster I'll start mail ordering from these Jamokes. We took home a bag of TBC blend 90, you should do the same.

I stopped at their Afton location last week. Very, very solid.

Most commercial IPAs are a result of completely f-ing up a brew so dry hop the s-t out of it hide the mistakes and ride the fad. Just one amateur brewer's opinion.

I’m now reminded of an experience at pre-VC blue bottle. I’m short on time moving from one appt to the next and I pass a blue bottle and think that some coffee sounds great. Now… I know folks don’t want to let their espresso sit and oxidize or whatever, but I vastly prefer drinking liquids where the side effects don’t include blisters in my mouth. So I’m thinking I’ll just get a bit to go and enjoy it as I walk to my next engagement. Finally get to the front of the queue and…

“I’d like an espresso, to go please”
The barista looks like I just canceled the weekend “an espresso comes in THIS cup, it’s for HERE”
“Ohhhkay, then can I please have a macchiato to go?”
“A macchiato comes in T H I S CUP… it’s for H E R E” as I have now also closed the clubs on Thursday as well and ruined everything by asking for… a small bit of coffee in a cup I can walk away with. The ferry building location doesn’t even have seats!

Tbh, I don’t even remember what I ordered. It was just ok. Blue bottle is way overrated.
