So can we talk mugs? I tend to make a half liter (~17 oz) of coffee in a French Press in the morning. I run into the problem that I get about a half hour to 45 minutes (I’ve never timed it this number might be wildly off) in before the, “Crap! Its getting cold!” moment and feel like I have to accelerate my consumption to...
I’m a big fan of the Fellow Carter Move mugs. They definitely keep coffee hot (or cold) for quite some time. I actually have to cool off my freshly brewed coffee before I put it in the mug if I want to drink it in without waiting a long time. There are a few lid options, but I’ve found that the standard lid and slide lid keep temperature the best. There’s also several sizes available, though the 20oz is listed as a cold mug, it’ll work with the hot lids.
I realize I sound like a shill for the brand, but I just really like the mugs haha.
They definitely aren’t the cheapest option, that’s for sure. They do their job well, and they don’t leak at all with the standard lid. The wide opening is definitely a very nice feature, it does feel more like drinking from a traditional mug.
One thing to note, and I haven’t experienced this myself, is that some people have reported that the ceramic lining can absorb some unpleasant odors. Though I think that was just the early batches, and has since been fixed.
I think you’re right about the plate with studs. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure a tile without studs can be put between studs like that and be legal.
So I started collecting bottle caps in college when I turned 21 with the rule that I had to be the drinker of the brew. 22 years later I’m still collecting and now color coding without purpose or end goal.
I like to use a French press for my iced coffee so that it has more body and a thicker mouthfeel. I use James Hoffmann’s French press method, but use a 1:14 ratio of coffee to water. The water is split 70:30 water to ice. After the brew is done, I just pour the “concentrate” over the ice to cool it, then pour over fresh ice in a glass.
My standard brew ends up being 32g coffee, 315g water, and 135g ice.
I made a post around a week ago that really took off, and figured we are probably going to see a small spike in activity due to the reddit migration, so I thought we could give it another go!...
I’ve recently been using a Timemore B75 dripper with Kalita 185 filters. I use Lance Hedrick’s Ultimate Pourover Recipe with good results so far on a 21:350 brew ratio. As for beans, I have a Guatemalan open right now that I’m grinding at around a 3.0 on a Fellow Ode with 2.0 burrs.
With the B75, I’m able to grind a bit finer than the recipe suggests and still get a fast drawdown.
I haven’t tried anything larger yet, but I can definitely see how a 500ml batch would be pretty tight in a brewer this size. I even had a little trouble with the stock papers at 350ml, but that’s because they sit slightly below the rim of the brewer, where the 185s don’t. I’ll have to try a 500ml brew and see how it goes.
I tried a 30:500 batch this morning, and it actually turned out surprisingly well first try. I definitely had to be a lot more aware of my pouring rate, and should probably go a click courser. I think the grind size is probably the biggest factor for a brew this big.
That’s my answer as well. The book is just so bleak. I read it over a decade ago, and I have thought about re-reading it, but can’t bring myself to do it. It is a really good read though.
Let's talk travel/insulated mugs.

It's the spooky season [MOC] (files.catbox.moe)
Made when I was about eleven years old, obviously BrickHeadz inspired

What's the best way to make iced coffee?
I don’t like any ice watering it down. I usually make pour overs, my current beans pictured...
