In a different article, a report spoke to 8 black people in attendance. Of the 8 only 1 lived in the Detroit area and none were members of that church.

The specialty robusta niche is growing since it is easier to grow. I've not tried any of it yet.

I've bought 2 Sony android TVs in the last 5 years (one 5 years ago and one a couple of weeks ago), both are connected to the internet. Neither shows ads.

there hasn't been an election where it wasn't choosing the least bad person.

sounds like a win-win

This wingnut was just talking about how great the Jim Crowe era was for black folks. N. Carolina racists love this guy.

fritobugger2017 ,

You are right. So many nutters that you need a scorecard to know who is who.

Uncontrolled discharge of waste in all uses is a major issue for all PFOAs though and I am not sure that there is anyway to handle the waste that it doesn't get back into the environment.

Do you get sick of the same songs and how do you combat it?

If I find myself overplaying certain songs, I sometimes have to force myself to take a break because when I don't, I usually end up ruining/disliking the song. I hate when this happens because perfectly good songs that I love end up irritating me because I have heard it too much. Do you stop listening to those songs or just play...

fritobugger2017 ,

Not specifically certain songs but definitely certain artists. I have to the would library on shuffle sometimes to mix things up and introduce a bit of freshness.

Nice outside the box thinking.

better grinder for pour over?

I know high end grinders are probably worth it for espresso, but for pour-over coffee does it make that much difference? I use a Capresso Infinity at either fine coarse or medium coarse and that's about it. Visibly the grind size does look a bit variable to me. Since I'm already in conical bur territory here, are higher end...

fritobugger2017 ,

The grind consistency and shape of the grinds can be better for pour over. The 1zpresso ZP6 and the Fellow Ode 2 are two grinders that are specifically designed to produce better grinds for pour over. Both under $400.

fritobugger2017 ,

If it's the same bag or a different bag from the same roast date then that couple of weeks is quite possibly related to the age of the beans.

fritobugger2017 ,

Both are quite good but please be looking at the Ode 2 and not the original Ode. Same goes for the DF64, make sure that it is Gen 2 and not the original.

fritobugger2017 ,

You get a lot of value for the money with the better hand grinders. The really good 1zpresso, Kinu, and others (not Commandante C40 which is way obsolete for the money) get you great burrs and materials without the added expense and space of a motor. A good hand grinder will go through 25 grams of beans in under a minute easily.

fritobugger2017 ,

I got a Fellow Opus thinking I might get an espresso machine in the future and I was thinking it might be better for moka pot which I was doing at the time. Now I have abandoned the moka pot and have at least for now decided not to consider an espresso machine. So I regret not getting the Ode 2. Not that the Opus is a bad grinder, it isn't bad especially at less than $200 but I am now doing only V60 pour over and the Ode 2 would be a better grinder for that.

fritobugger2017 ,

The Opus is a great grinder for the money. Very powerful. Low enough rpms to not generate too much heat. Not too many fines. Huge torque, like the lightest roast doesn't even begin to make it work hard.

I already have two very nice hand grinders, so I have good conical burrs. If it hadn't been for the moka/espresso side track, I was wanting to try out the flat burr profiles.

I have plenty of money for a nice espresso machine, what I don't have is excess counter space in the kitchen nor an excess of patience that seems to be needed for learning and getting good at espresso.

Also, after lots of moka pot and cafe espresso, I think I just realized I am really more of a light roast filter coffee person.

Old ThinkPad with Win 10 Pro, Plex, Plexamp, and several 14TB drives so I can stream my home media library on the go.

fritobugger2017 ,

It's the OS I know how to use. The Thinkpad is a P50 with a Xeon processor and lots of RAM so it runs it easily.

fritobugger2017 ,

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe G1 beans. Very nice. A little funky from the natural process but otherwise very tasty. Light roast. Ground using Fellow Opus and brewed with Hario V60.

"Feared dead" might not be the right phrase.

When China opens up it's domestic market to international goods then the rest of the world should consider doing the same. Until then, match every barrier to entry.

like half of the Grateful Dead tour on the late 80s and early 90s

How do you store your grounded coffee? ( slrpnk.net )

Hiya, just quickly wondering how people store their coffee? Mine is in a tin box I got second hand, cos I thought it looked nice. Any rules regarding storing grounded coffee? I don't store much at the time, it's just if I grind a little too much and what not. I'm assuming the general thumb rule for this is to store it in a...

fritobugger2017 ,

I weigh the amount of beans I intend to grind so I never have to store ground coffee.

fritobugger2017 ,

I remember this craziness. Was insane and of course, it was all considered ok.

In the SE USA where I was about to graduate from high school, in the local news it was presented as "inner city terrorists handled with appropriated force"

fritobugger2017 ,

It wasn't until I went to university in the fall of that same year in a large metropolitan city with a diverse collection of dazzling urbanites that I was exposed to other points of view.

fritobugger2017 ,

I grind 27 to 28 grams of beans (depending upon whether i use a 16:1 or 15:1 ratio) for a cup of around 430ml of brewed pour over coffee.

Turkey is strongly anti-genocide as long as it doesn't involve Kurds or Armenians, then they are completely pro-genocide.

fritobugger2017 ,

The Skerton is horribly outdated at this point. Please replace it with a newer and better entry level hand grinder like the Timemore C3 or a Kingrinder K0 which are both $80 or less or the Kingrider P1 which is around $35. All are far better than the Skerton.

What takes 2 to 3 minutes to grind with the Skerton, takes less than 1 minute with the above.

fritobugger2017 ,

good choice. 1Z Q Air, Timemore C2 or C3, Kingrinder K0 or P1 are all better choices than these very old Hario ceramic burr/plastic body designs

fritobugger2017 ,

Kia also.

Never let your taxi driver/tour guide/etc choose you. Never go with a shill. In Paris never sign a petition.
