Are you saying the entire brew time should be 2:30 including bloom time? I wrote the times in literal step by step times, so the entire process would take 2:30 from when i first pour the water to bloom to when i stop the process at 420 grams.

noo, 2:30 for extraction. Chemex tend to use thicker filters than pour overs, so you might want to run more time with it; not only that, your dealing with larger proportions of water and grounds (the measurements you laid out were for a single cup right? Kinda big if you ask me). What im saying is that you might want to try out this timing, to see if it makes any difference, but thats how i would go about it. My basis for this idea derives from doing V60 pourovers.

Sightglass:

325g of Hot water (200-210F)

22g Beans

Timing Proximity (2:00 - 2:30)

Barefoot:

350g of Hot water (Temp probably around the same)

22g Beans

Timing Proximity (Roughly the same)

Taste like smokey baby back ribs

Any recommendations for good reads?? I'm about to get my hands on Fountainhead, but I finna get some more books for my slowly growing library.

what is everybody's preferred brew method and procedure? my go to is a chemex using 26.25 grams of coffee and 420 grams of water. 45 second bloom time and 1:30 to 1:45 extraction.

Maybe a bit too fast. i think you actually want to go for 2:30 - 3:00

How come no one's made this thread yet??

I brought these beans back from SF. The front left bag was the take home favor at JL77's wedding (beans courtesy of Handsome Roasters):

Charlene and Johan?? Worth checking out?? Whenever i'm in the city I hit up Four Barrel, Sightglass, Ritual, and any De La Paz account.

Hey Kiya,

I know this is kinda off topic from the store and what not, but do you have any good recommendations for good chocolate in the the city (sf) !?!

hey, anyone willing to make me a long length wallet or knows who can provide me with the service.

Hey I'm planning on hitting up SESF this weekend, any of you guys know a good coffee shop nearby it? I was thinking about going to site glass, but i forgot if its close to it or not.

Is the shore jacket coming back with this upcoming fall collection :s???

i have zero experience with yo-yos whatsoever. my friend has a yomega maverick that he'll sell to me for 10 bucks. is that a good beginner one?

I'd say get a grind machine.... or a protostar if your really going to start yoyoing (protostar is definitely one of the best yoyo's to start off with).

Genesis, Protostar and Superstars are the way to go :].

God damnit.... I should've went to S&F this year....

I feel like giving my 3001s a cold soak even though i really don't need to. they've got about 30 hard wears on them but i've worn them consistently since mid-April. They don't stink or anything so maybe I'll hold off.

Aye, wash or soak whenever you feel like it man. If you want to avoid washing, you could always air them out if they end up stinking .

Now a days its hard to find shows as good as this.

If you guys are ever in Santa Clara County, I recommend you guys check out La Bamba! I don't recommend La Paloma in Santa Clara.

Aha, alright will do Andrew. I'll call sometime this week. What time should I call as I'm from the west coast?

Their 3 hours ahead of us.

Am now on first day of fh 1001 break-in.

last pair was sugarcane okinawas, super relaxed slubby fit. tbqh it's been a hell of a long time since my balls were this uncomfortable.

When I got my Inazuma's they pretty much grabbed my sack. It'll take no more than a week until the uncomfiness goes away :3

Man those Wabash shirts are really something else :3.
