Lavazza Super Crema V60 Result
Lavazza Super Crema V60 Result - Star Trek Website
I ordered a bag of Lavazza Super Crema for playing with my espresso machine, but wanted to try it out in the V60 for kicks. Set the ESP to 24 and ground 17g. Brewed with 320ml of water. Coming from mostly light roasts, this taste a bit on the dark side for me, but overall a good balanced cup of coffee. I may go corser on the next brew, maybe 26. I did 50ml for bloom (30 seconds) Add 70ml wait ten seconds Add 100ml wait ten seconds Add final 100ml Happy brewing.

Trying out their blend and just opened my first bag. It’s their 295 mix. I like it, lite and easy to drink It tastes like coffee. Did an aeropress brew and will try V60 next time. I will say the beans gave off an interesting smell that made me nervous about how it would come out, but all is good. I never heard of this place, but it was recommended in another post. I’ll likely keep the subscription, at least for another few bags to see how it goes.

I’m doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It’s a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I’m happy. I haven’t had too many Kenya coffees, but if you have a whole foods nearby this one tastes good to me.

I’ve been watching a bunch of the stumptown coffee brewing videos on YouTube. They are another great starting point for all of us. I tried their V60 and aeropress recipes and the coffee came out good. It tastes like coffee. Lol Anyway wanted to share in case someone hasn’t seen them. Enjoy
Media Skipping after recent releases
Media Skipping after recent releases - Star Trek Website
My Google TV picked up the latest versions of the jellyfin app and now a few of my 4k movies are no longer working as expected. I’m getting pauses and it looks almost like a buffering issue. I checked with my NAS and see network to the TV to be around 9MB/s which is fine for a wired connection. I used to be on wifi, but started having the same issue there after the update so I loved to a wired connection. Some 4k movies are good over wired, but some are in buffering hell. Am I alone with this issue ? Idk. I ordered a 1gb USB adapter for the tv as a last attempt to validate it isn’t the network connection. Will be here this weekend and will update with the results from that.
Hario Drip Kettle Air
Hario Drip Kettle Air - Star Trek: Website
I recently picked up a V60 to take a stab at pour over at home. I was getting ok drinks out, but my pour control was all over the place. It was too fast and not very accurate as I was using my existing hot water kettle. I hate replacing things that work and I didn’t want to get a new kettle just for coffee making. I started looking for some small kettle options where I can put my hot water on and pour out. A lot of the products in this category are either too affordable where the handles come off or too costly. I was hesitant to get the Hario Air due to Hoffman’s review, but it really seemed to check all my boxes. After making a few cups, it is amazing. I can’t get as close to the grinds as a normal kettle, but I’m not to far. Control is great, but the neck thickness causes me to bump the V60 sometimes, need more practice. At any rate, I love this and it’s easy to store in the cabinet when not in use. TLDR: Great product if you have an existing hot water kettle you don’t want to replace just to make pour over.
I found this site as well for a good point of reference for starting my V60 journey:
