I love you. Thanks for sharing 😌

Fun game! It doesn’t take itself seriously, voice acting and story are fun. Definitely recommend

I jumped ship after 2 times. Such a shame because I loved the OS but this is the opposite of what I expect a distro to do.

Haha that would be cool!

The answer is that it tastes different. Cooling it after brewing takes time and doesn’t taste the same. The recipe includes the ice as part of the water so it’s immediately cold without watering it down.

Here is the recipe if you’re interested.

Ah gotcha. For the cold recipe he increases it since iced coffee tastes weaker. I tried 60g/l and 76g/l and I definitely prefer the higher dose with cold coffee. It’s worth a try.

Lmao your last line hits so hard. I’m starting to realize that the machines are just vessels, most of the variables are controlled by us.

That’s so cool! I love the idea. I guess my main motivation for doing all of this is to minimize the time and the cleanup - your experiment hits both goals nicely. Thanks for trying!

The recipe I use is 38g coffee for 330g water over 170g ice. Not too different from what you did.

Lmao I love the soup comparison. It’s like the joke that a vanilla soy latte is a three bean soup.

You make a good point. I could just get a large vessel like a pot and a large filter basket or funnel? Omg you just made me think I could use my Breville coffee maker just to hold the filter and pour the ready-made coffee through the top into the carafe without actually turning the machine on.

Another thought is just getting two more Hario Switches and doing them all at once. I have the process down to such an exact routine that I do it pretty quickly. 5 min steep time x6 with a few extra minutes prep ends up being like 45 minutes total. If I got three I could do the whole thing in 15 minutes hah.

Thanks for the discussion! I’m going to experiment with all these ideas and see which one I like the best.

It’s a good question. I enjoy the coffee that I currently, so my ideal would be to just be able to make the same coffee with less effort. Right now, the max I can make at a time is 500 ml and we drink roughly 3000 ml per week. If I could do a single 3 liter batch I would probably take that as my ideal lol. That’s probably unrealistic, so I’m thinking either 1,000 ml or 1500 ml manual device or any size automatic machine (so it’s overall just less work).

Google search is such garbage that I’ve searched for immersion machines or coffee machines that steep and got nothing useful. I have a nice Breville drip coffee maker and it just has an open hole under the basket so it just won’t brew without a carafe. All I need is a 5-minute infusion time to make my current recipe. I’ll check out Aiden, I don’t know them

Nice! I’ll give it a try. I have basket filters already 😁

I appreciate the suggestion, but we all just prefer the flavor of coffee that is brewed hot and immediately chilled (measured amount of ice is part of the recipe). Also, sometimes I don’t realize how fast it’s running out and I want to make a batch to drink on the same day.

Whoa! This might be what I’m looking for. It looks like it does immersion. I’m going to look into it further, thanks!

I thought it was in my head but I agree that it tastes worse.

So you wrap the paper around the mesh? That’s interesting, I never thought of that

I have to add that the prisma is a fantastic idea. I might get one for my aeropress just for funsies

I have an aeropress, I didn’t think about the XL. The issue is the size. Aeropress holds about as much volume as a Hario switch (2 cups or 500ml-ish per batch). I make 6 batches per week so 3 liters LOL.

I look at my giant 2.5 liter Breville coffee maker and I just wish it could hold the water in 😭😭😭.

Unfortunately, I think you’re right. My main issue is that I like the taste/texture with a paper filter but filtering a French press can be annoying. I wish I could have a machine hold the immersion chamber and dispense, but I think I just have to deal with standing there and slowly pouring the French press through paper.

Now that I think about it, last time I filtered the French press through paper without pressing it. Maybe I’ll try pressing and then using paper 🤔. It’s still not automated but it could at least cut my batches in half.

Enjoy! I love this recipe. Brewing hot tastes better than cold brew in my opinion, plus the ice means that the batch is cold right away.

Ah I gotcha. People are saying it will fix everything.

I actually do use Arch, I played with distros for years and settled on Manjaro for a while. I’m rethinking that choice since they let their certs expire for the second time…

Can someone help explain the meme? I know what pacman -Syu does (I use arch btw) but I actually don’t know why this would be a meme.
