How are you brewing? (self.coffee)

I made a post around a week ago that really took off, and figured we are probably going to see a small spike in activity due to the reddit migration, so I thought we could give it another go!

There are always tons of posts about what beans you are brewing, but my question is HOW are you brewing those beans this week? Sticking to the tried and true v60? Pick up a new Orea and still figuring out the best recipe for it? Pulling some particularly sweet shots on your latest beans haul? Let us know below! What's your brew method of the day/week?

I love the precision down to that 0.3 lol

Absolutely wonderful setup you have there. What scale do you use when pulling your shot, and what is your final output?

[–] Zrob 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Thank you! I use an Acaia Lunar.

My output usually falls around 36g (+-1). I’ll usually drink it straight or make a long black.

Definitely a bit jealous.

I haven't quite gotten into espresso, but when I do I think I will go entirely manual to start. I already have a JX Pro, which should be serviceable to grind espresso. Then I'm thinking of getting the Flair. I need a smaller scale to fit the flair, so I was considering the Lunar, but it sure is pricey.

To be honest, the Lunar is pricey and I don’t think worth it. I think you would be better served with a cheaper scale, I don’t think it was worth it for me lol

Yeah, I watched this video recently and it has me leaning towards the Varia Aku.
