My favorite tie knot is the Pratt-Shelby. The only thing not to like about it is the fact that the tie needs to be reversed when tying it.

I agree with the comments here. Personally, the sweetest coffee I have tasted is natural processed Kaffa Anderacha, which managed to keep some sort of cherry flavor no matter which roast level. I think you might get a real feel for sweetness in coffee with a quality natural processed coffee from Africa. The only issue here is that it was pretty tart, or sour\acidic, which, to my understanding can be alleviated by having it a little darker roasted, but that might also degrade the cherry taste.

How they implemented it it is you can't get a strong item if you pick-up the item box while being stopped (like as it respawns with no forward speed), by going in reverse or picking up the same one multiple times.

I recommend it especially to first time readers. So much of the vampire story mythos was crystallized right then and there, it feels kind of progressive for the time and the English doesn't read outright ancient, it's kind of an easy read.

Yeah, but it's not. Not according to the "Berlin interpretation"

Your French is pretty close. "héroes" should be written "héros", there's no "e" and "du" means "of the" singular. So The Death of the Hero .

But the héroes thing might be misspelled in the ost itself.

I'm totally satisfied. It's a great keyboard.

I use other search engines such as duckduckgo which are better for privacy and less aimed at steering you to the websites that are using the search engine's ad services. They do have a deal with Bing, so I might be wrong.

I don't think people are gonna adopt Lemmy because they stumbled on it from Google searches.

Those represent the extremes of my last pan roast. If the middle bean is 50%, most of my roast was beans at 40%.

The leftmost one tasted a little fruity and chocolatey. The middle one tasted baked and toasted and the rightmost one tasted more like burnt toasts, the only one with a frank bitterness.

This is my first mechanical. I ordered Gateron pro yellows pre installed. Everything is supposed to be lightly lubed. Managed to get it for 121 CAD + taxes and free shipping. I think I got a substantially better deal than if I went with my original plan of buying a Keychron V1.

I can't describe the feel too much because it's my only mechanical ever but it's very good. I don't think it feels flawless, but it's good. Left shift and space have foam or rubber beneath making them thud more than the other keys and the board itself is heavy and already dampened. They gave a cap and switch puller as well as 3 switches and a black space bar cap.

First pan roast (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/coffee
 

Ethiopian Kaffa Anderacha. 100g for 9m20s at 65%. Cracking started at around minute 6. When I was happy, I went to shake it outside in the sieve. I was aiming at a light roast but realizing that it's not a very even method, I went and made sure even the greener beans had time to get a little tan. I think I'll use 50g instead next time.

Advice is super welcome.

I just prepared a cup using the James Hoffman daily driver aeropress recipe as soon as it was cool. I know I should let it degas but I wanted to experience the freshest cup possible as a base for later comparison. As is, to my understanding, it tastes planty, caramely and neither too acidic, astringent or bitter. Really nice cup.

July SOTD (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 
  • Pre: Warm shower + conditioner
  • Bowl: Timeless
  • Brush: Maggard 22mm
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb
  • Blade: Personna GEM
  • Soap: Noble Otter Plunder
  • Post Shave: Alum + Noble Otter Plunder splash

Left the conditioner on while bowl lathering and did a minimal rinsing, leaving a layer of it before applying the larger.

Full 3 pass. The GEM was easy to use and not as aggressive as I was lead to believe so I went a little chase-ish. It's not an exceptionally close shave, so I might try a slight bit of pressure or a different angle next time. Also, it might just be the patina on top of the razor, but it doesn't glide as easy as my other ones.

Globally a DFS with a bit of irritation. Good enough but I'm not impressed for now. Plunder is a wonderful scent. Instant classic.

 

It's most likely from 1930-1931 since it doesn't feature bumps to accommodate double edged blades. This is after a quick clean using dish soap and a brush. I'll submit it to an alcohol bath just in case and then try to flow some mineral oil in the mechanism. After that, we'll see if I want to do some detailing, I'm still unsure which product to de-grime it with and bring some luster back. I've heard it's supposed to be full brass with gold plating.

I want to start home roasting but I'm not sure where\what to buy as far as beans go as a Canadian buyer. I did a quick check on Amazon (which I try to avoid buying from) and found the cheapest beans are about 14 CAD per pound, but I'm not sure that it's that good of a deal and I don't know what quality I'm getting.

Any advice is appreciated.

Edit: found a supplier: https://terracaf.ca/

Micromatic, I don't know more about the exact model. Found on EBay. Will need advice to clean, maybe restore it. I also ordered the proper Personna PTFE coated blades.

  • Pre: Warm shower
  • Bowl: Timeless
  • Brush: Maggard 22mm
  • Razor: Parker Variant @ full turn + 4 and 5
  • Blade: Treet Silver Carbon Steel (Pakistan)
  • Soap: Noble Otter Rawr
  • Post Shave: Alum (immediately) - Stirling Bergamot Lavender balm (tomorrow morning)

1 pass WTG, 1 pass J-hooked XTG-ATG hybrid with frequent relather and touch-ups with water only and smaller blade gap.

Went well enough, 2 painless nicks that did not survive alum. This might be the combo I'm looking for...

Edit: Picture prob. Fixed No picture, cannot upload. Help will be appreciated.
