what could possibly happen that the mayor of NYC is going to do that causes issues for the rest of America? I'm at a total loss to why the federal government is concerned about. Someone please help me understand as I haven't been following this topic too closely.

I was part of a tbone crash on the side of the car that was hit. I think i was pretty calm at the moment as I was able to clear the road of all my belongings before the police and ambulance got there. It was a scary experience at the time during the events that lead up to the crash, but everything was ok I guess after...

I take pictures of things I want to find faster over hunting for emails or text messages while on vacation and there's maybe spotty Internet. i also do this for cooking directions.

I ordered a bag of Lavazza Super Crema for playing with my espresso machine, but wanted to try it out in the V60 for kicks.

Set the ESP to 24 and ground 17g. Brewed with 320ml of water. Coming from mostly light roasts, this taste a bit on the dark side for me, but overall a good balanced cup of coffee. I may go corser on the next brew, maybe 26.

I did 50ml for bloom (30 seconds) Add 70ml wait ten seconds Add 100ml wait ten seconds Add final 100ml

Happy brewing.

 

Trying out their blend and just opened my first bag. It's their 295 mix. I like it, lite and easy to drink It tastes like coffee. Did an aeropress brew and will try V60 next time. I will say the beans gave off an interesting smell that made me nervous about how it would come out, but all is good.

I never heard of this place, but it was recommended in another post. I'll likely keep the subscription, at least for another few bags to see how it goes.

 

I'm doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It's a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I'm happy.

I haven't had too many Kenya coffees, but if you have a whole foods nearby this one tastes good to me.

Single Origin Kenya

 

I'm having trouble getting the latest update for the Android app 2.6.1. is it working ok for everyone else?

Parent's Bitter Coffee (startrek.website)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by CCMan1701A@startrek.website to c/coffee@lemmy.world
 

At visiting my parent's this holiday weekend I tired to gently tell my parents that their coffee brew is very bitter. The response I get back is something like, " I like it strong."

I wasn't too sure how to respond, but then they told me my coffee is to watery. 🤔 I told them it's not that is watery, but it's a light roast and not bitter tasting.

So my question is how do you convince someone that bitter coffee is not good coffee? I might bring my scale next time to help measure and perfect the coffee brew there. Maybe even see about cleaning their been grinder, which I think has never been cleaned.

Oh well.

Update: Thanks for all the tips and thoughts. I agree with basically everything posted here and sorry no butter (I fixed the title)
