curious to know why the two week rest? Have you has that bean before? Sorry if this ain’t correct thread but anyway!! I normally find a week to be optimal but my recent Kenya bean issue could have bean(!) that I needed to rest for about three weeks, never got to the bottom of that one

LMSC

JahLaza Unless it is medium dark and dark, I prefer giving it at least 2 weeks rest to degas properly. I also think the more the roast to the left, the longer the resting period, the better the taste.

Many times, in the case of light to medium, I have found faster pour and beehive after the shot is pulled, when I have opened in a week’s time.

It works for me at least!

We have some seasoned pros and super tasters; I am sure they will have a far better view!

LMSC yeah makes sense was just wondering what others do around this. Cheers

After watching James Hoffman’s video for my Moka Pot, as it was a bit precarious balanced on my gas stove…

My Niche arrived today! I just had to try it out even if it was late and it meant no sleep tonight with the extra caffeine. Luckily it only took two shots to decently get it dialed in. No more hand grinding for 2-3 minutes first thing in the morning.

VST 18g basket and somehow some beans slipped into the order as well.

Rifik

Some 3d printed goodness to pair with my niche.

Today’s (or rather, this wekend’s) arrivals :

1Kg Red Brick
20g VST basket
new gaming laptop.

I might be a bit more excited by one than the other two.

Nowhere to upload photos to (and no way am I giving Imgur my phone number to ‘verify’).

You don’t need to, just drag and drop the photos in the editor.

I’ve an Imgur account, never had to give a phone number, is this a new thing.

Oh I bet it’s the VST basket you’re excited about.🤣

CoffeePhilE

Not sure how new it is with Imgur, but they do say it;'s required for all new accounts. If you have an existing account (I don’t, obviously) it shouldn’t be needed.. Or IIRC, to be strict, all new direct-access accounts. If you sign in via your Facebookm account, etc, then it isn’t, but as I don’t have, never have had and certainly don’t want an FB account either, it doesn’t help.

I’ll try taking a pic, transferring it to the PC and dropping into editor. …. probably tomorrow. Now is bedtime (23:28( and my book is calling me.

@CoffeePhilE If you’re on a mobile device (it might be the same on computer, I’m just not sure as I don’t tend to post that way) just press the media manager button circled in red on the image below. You can the upload an image and it puts on imgur anonymised with no details or account required.

Once it’s uploaded it should be selected (press if it isn’t) and then press the “select file” button at the bottom right of the window and it will add the link.

Thanks, Ben. Looks easy enough. I’m still getting used to driving this forum interface. I’m so used to vBulletin.

hornbyben

CoffeePhilE no problem. Apart from occasionally needing to close the tab and open it again when the like/reply buttons vanish it seems a pretty good system.

DavecUK

hornbyben it seems a pretty good system.

It’s actually a lot faster since the upgrade to version 2 and right clicking for a new windows seems to ork properly for me now……although I still prefer the pop out sidebar.

hornbyben

DavecUK I’ve also found I have to close and reopen the tab very rarely these days too.

Rob666

It does seem a lot more solid. On a PC, the notifications are working much better too.

On a iPad I have no problems, every thing runs very smooth
