@SeanMFloyd @levelsio Ratio to start with is 1L of water - 60gr of coffee

@levelsio How did you arrive at 15-20g? I ask because I use a similar setup (Chemex + unbleached papers). I tend to use 20-25g… when I started I was going higher but dialed back the caffeine a bit.

Here's how I make coffee every day Hario V60 unbleached paper filters Stainless steel filter 15-20g of coffee My own ceramic AGI mugs No sugar, no milk

@levelsio You can now find amazing good coffee in France, Portugal, Spain. For exemple in Paris, you have "Substance" where you can basically taste the best coffee in the world (mostly geisha from panama)

I grew up thinking Italy was the center of great coffee It took me decades to understand that like French, Portuguese and Spanish coffee, Italian coffee too is overly burnt and bitter and most of it is made from the inferior Robusta beans, instead of the Arabica beans which are full of flavor and not bitter and (usually) burnt: "In Italy, coffee usually has some Robusta beans in the blend, or is roasted really dark, or both. These factors result in overly bitter-tasting coffee, but do nothing to change the strength of a standard espresso shot." "France had a similar story. Though there was no economic isolation, imports from its colonies were subsidised, and this was again largely Robusta coffee. And so, as the roads and kingdoms post linked above explains, coffee in France is bad." "During the years of the Salazar dictatorship, Portugal was economically isolated. This meant that it could only turn to its colonies for coffee. And the Portuguese colonies (not Brazil!) exclusively produced Robusta coffee. And Robusta coffee, being inferior to Arabica, is roasted slowly, and produces a bitter brew. Which is what we uniformly got in our trip to Lisbon" "In Spain, coffee is made by the process of torrefacto (similar to Portugal). Torrefacto is the practice of adding sugar to coffee beans during the roasting process,” explained Patricia. The sugar burns and the beans wind up coated in a shiny black film. glossy coating protects the beans from oxidisation and torrefacto was originally a preservation method. But there are side effects. The process makes the resulting drink much darker and more bitter. It also masks the true, rich flavour and aroma of good coffee." So where do you find good 100% Arabica coffee full of flavur that's not burnt? In places with lots of specialty coffee like the United States, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and Brazil Consumption of 100% Arabica coffee is most prevalent in regions with a strong café culture and a high demand for specialty coffee. These typically include: - United States - Especially in urban centers and regions with a robust specialty coffee scene, like the Pacific Northwest. - Northern Europe - Countries like Norway, Sweden, and Finland have some of the highest per capita coffee consumption rates, favoring high-quality, lightly roasted coffee. - Australia - Known for its discerning coffee culture, especially in cities like Melbourne and Sydney, where espresso-based drinks dominate. - South Korea and Japan - These countries have seen growing specialty coffee scenes with a preference for high-quality Arabica beans in urban areas. - Thailand - Particularly in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, where there's a vibrant café scene with a focus on high-quality, locally sourced Arabica beans. - Canada - Urban centers like Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal have a thriving coffee scene with numerous specialty cafes serving 100% Arabica. - United Kingdom - London, along with other major cities, hosts a growing number of specialty coffee shops focusing on quality and the nuances of Arabica coffee. - New Zealand - Known for a highly developed coffee culture with a strong preference for premium, Arabica-based espresso drinks. - Taiwan - The specialty coffee scene is booming here, with a focus on high-quality Arabica beans, particularly in Taipei. - Brazil - Despite being a major producer, the domestic consumption of high-quality Arabica is also on the rise, particularly in metropolitan areas like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

@levelsio Coffee Trip is an excellent app in Europe to know where are specialty coffee shop

Quitting milk 1.5y ago cause I became lactose intolerant and had to switch to black I realized all the coffee I drank and like 95% of the coffee sold in most places tastes like an ashtray of burnt cigarette ash Ofc burnt coffee like that NEEDS milk just to make it consumable

I just discovered the scandal of protein powders cut with sugar and the misleading percentage of proteins advertised. What is the best brand of protein powder available on the market?

@Jack_Raines In Spanish they tend to use a lot the subjonctive “Espero que vengas a mi fiesta”

5) After a week or so of retraining my ears, I reviewed past, present, & future tenses, and subject/object/verb placement. That's it. You don't need any other tenses for 90% of conversations. Don't waste your time.

1) No one knows how to actually learn a foreign language. I have been aggressively studying Spanish over the next month before I fly to Spain. Wanted to share a breakdown of what I've been doing, and how it differs from school. (H/T @tferriss for helping me rethink this)

@slashbin_FR @KLoaec J'étais en Argentine il y a 1 mois et en échangeant avec les locaux, y a clairement un gros ras le bol. Beaucoup d'argentins me parlaient de "survivre". Bonne chance à eux en tout cas

Pourquoi un pays qui a vécu le socialisme, la droite tradi, l’inflation pendant toutes ces années, le péronisme, l’inflation a 140% annuelle, la guerre avec l’Angleterre, les années d’hyper inflation à 5000% en aurait ras le cul et irai enfin voir le médecin? Je sais paaaaaaaaas (bullish on Milei)

Hey @n26! You blocked my account 3 weeks ago with 350€ on it. I still don't have any positive news from you. Could you send my money back please? I don't have these issues using @RevolutApp

@HumansNoContext Some transaltions are very wrong but it's definitely funny :-D

@EsoMartine @AlpacaAurelius Our plastic in Europe are often BPA free. I am not saying it's as good as glass but not sure it's so dangerous

With all due respect, the oil in this picture isn't "high quality". This is because the toxins in plastic (like BPA) are lipophilic (they get drawn out by fat). Because of this, the "high quality" olive oil in this picture is now spoilt with plastic toxins. Always store your oil in glass containers.

I’ve been asking all the restaurants in Spain I’m going to what oil they use and pretty much without fail they all use this fancy olive oil Nice being somewhere everything isn’t drenched in canola oil
