In this thread you can share what new coffee, equipment, techniques etc. you have tried this week.
What have you enjoyed and what didn’t you like? Have you learned anything new?
This thread will be posted every weekend from now on for you to share smaller things that don’t warrant a full post or that you want to share without making a post.


On my regular rotation, I’m brewing with the Clever dripper, a Viet phin, and a thrifted Gaggia Pure. I tend to grab the medium roast Mayorga beans from Costco, but have to refill my supply from local roosters.
If you try the phin, I suggest to cut a basket filter in 1/4s and use one at the bottom. I enjoy a full strength brew, but if you’re not mixing with condensed milk, I need to tone it down a bit.
If anyone has any robusta or robusta bean blends to recommend, I would love to hear it
