I ordered this on a whim and got a cheap set of keycaps off Amazon for it, but now that I have it put together (plastic switch plate, tape modded, gateron cap golden yellows, double o-ringed keycaps) it is sounding and feeling really good. The keycaps were a cheap but they are bright and fun. I might make it my “throw in a bag and take into the office” keyboard.
Here is a better angle as requested:

Hario Switch coffee brewer
Hario Switch coffee brewer - Lemmy.world
I got a Hario Switch a few weeks ago and, honestly, I wasn’t sure where it was going to fit in between my Chemex on the one side for large, slow brews and my Aeropress on the other for quick, single dose fixes. But the Switch has fast become my favourite coffee brewer. I have not seen much mention of it so I thought I would give it a shout out on here to see if there were any fans and techniques to be shared. I opted for the 03 off the bat so I had plenty of room for immersion and, having used it now, I don’t really see how the smaller size would work satisfactorily so - if you are curious - definitely get the 03.

Help making light brews
Help making light brews - Lemmy.world
I am doing some experiments with my neglected chemex trying to reproduce a look and a taste from a coffee shop in town a number of years ago. The taste was light and tea-like with lots of flowery and fruity high notes and not too much body weighing it down, so not much caramel or chocolate kind of notes, that sort of thing. The look - far less important- was also quite light and clear. I tend to have light roasted beans in the house from one or two local roasters. What I have tried so far is increasing the grind size to be fairly coarse and increasing the dose of coffee a bit to compensate, and limiting the fussiness of the pours. The nice thing about chemex is the filters are nice and thick so im hoping the brew won’t just fly through coarser grinds and I should have more flexibility. Here is what I did today: . 40g coarse ground coffee . Made a little divit because that’s a lot for a flat bed . kettle heated to 80C . 80g pre-pour for the bloom . 30s pour to 340g . 3m 30s pour to 600g gently . Brew finished at around the 6m mark I got lovely notes but the brew was still really well extracted with plenty of body. Don’t get me wrong it was a really good cup of coffee but not what I was after. I possibly need different beans but I would like to see what I can do differently with what I have usually got. I’m going to try bringing the dose back down to something below 60g per litre next. Is there anything different I could be doing with the brew itself? I’m talking about notes and stuff like that but I far from being an expert particularly when it comes to tasting! I kind of know where I want to get to but not how to get there.
New layout. No kbd yet but new layout.
New layout. No kbd yet but new layout. - Lemmy.world
I am still waiting for my Ferris Sweep to arrive but in the meanwhile I have been keeping busy by drilling Colemak DH and learning QMK. I posted last week about some ideas I had for the layout I wanted to try, which I have since refined and managed to code up in QMK to the point that it compiles! This may sound a bit weird but I am deep learner - its how my brain works. Anyway there is lots of documentation - which you might consider even more weird I don’t know - let me know what you think. All subject to change especially when the … firmware … hits the … metal … I guess?
Trouble posting comments in c/coffee?
Trouble posting comments in c/coffee? - Lemmy.world
I am having trouble posting comments to posts in the Coffee community today. I have posted about it in the Support community but since those comments posted ok there, I thought I would try creating a test post here in c/Coffee to check whether is limited to comments. Anybody else having trouble with comments?
