Would anyone like to trade for a 2 lb bag of Veracruz (Mexico) and/or a 1 lb bag of Chiapas (Mexico)? Both are light roasted whole beans from Black Oak Coffee. Happy to pop it/them in the mail for the cost of shipping as well if no trades are available. I already have 2 lb bags of both in the freezer and happened upon this pair recently through a series of mis-clicks.

This stuff is like powder. Calibrated to 5 clicks away from chirping. Thinking I might go a bit more so I have usable range for cold brew.

Ordered and received the SSP burrs from Fellow a few days ago. Was trying to see if I could do anything different/else before installing them. Pre-SSP, what were you grinding at for pour over Reks?

45g water, wait 45 seconds for bloom 45g water, wait 30 seconds after every pour Ode at 1.5 with the above recipe has produced the best cup so far.

Come to think of it, the best cup so far has been with the ode grinding at 1.5. my drawdown times were longer (4 minutes-ish) so I started grinding coarser. Usually around 1:15 or 1:16 for coffee to water. The only time it got bitter was when I went 1:13 or so.

I've gotten into coffee again and so far have been maintaining a healthy relationship with it this time around. Primarily, I've been cold brewing with coffee ground at 10 on the Fellow Ode in one of these. Over the past few months, I've gotten to the point where I can agree with the tasting notes for the most part and taste the stuff I ought to be tasting. With a V60, however, it all tastes the same regardless of what adjustments I make. Varied grind size from 0 to 6 on the Ode. Varied water temperature on a Fellow Stagg EKG kettle. Maybe on a random occasion I might get distant hints of something familiar but I feel it's likely because I want it to be there instead of actually tasting it. Any thoughts from the brewmasters?

Was it recorded, Jim? Would love to watch/listen to it.

I don't know if a rodecaster pro would fit your needs. It is $99 out of your budget and quite a versatile device. Not enough gain for my mic so it is going back to B&H but I'd imagine you could do most of if not all of what you are trying to do.

I use texmaker and a 13" screen often leaves me wanting for a bigger screen. I've gotten to the point where I don't like using my laptop when using LaTeX. I've tried reducing the font size but that rarely helps. If you are not using a pdf viewer to look at your document, the 13" will likely be fine. If it is mostly going to be used locally, go for the 16". Buyer beware, however - https://www.tomsguide.com/opinion/the-16-inch-macbook-pro-has-a-major-quality-control-problem

I have no doubt it is possible. The IT dolts refuse to do it. To them, OS X goes on a Mac and Windows goes on a PC. Anything else and they stick their heads back in the sand.

I don't have tenure so can't do that

Can't do that. Institutional guidelines for computers storing data for NSF projects say clean windows install on a PC that can be remotely wiped in case of theft/loss. IT won't install windows or let me do it on a Mac.

Greetings from South Florida! Would anyone be interested in a mint condition 2018 13" MacBook Pro (2.3 ghz i5 quad core, 8gb ram, 256 gb ssd) with Touch Bar (space gray)? AppleCare+ until 08/21/2021. Figured I'd try here before I went to eBay and the likes. Currently has the Catalina beta but I can take it back down to the last stable release upon request. Comes with all the original box/papers. Grant work requires me to go back to a windows device
