Having a cup of this JBC this morning:
https://www.jbccoffeeroasters.com/product/san-diego-natural/
First time I've had a natural process Costa Rican. Really good, definitely bright and tart. The strawberry note is spot on. Also got a bag of Ethiopian natural brocess Benti Nenqa that I finished last week, really delicious — I'm definitely biased towards those, my favorite kind of coffee. Lastly got a bag of Mexican Monte Alban that I'll get into once this one runs out — JBC's really got some top notch shit!
Also picked up a December Dripper to check out. I've never owned a Wave type dripper, psyched to check it out. Just waiting on some filters.

Brewed a couple cups in the DD, pretty cool little device. It's nice that you can keep the grind the same and just adjust the flow. Tried 10mg of coffee on the smallest aperture setting, then 20g at the second. Both came out pretty much exactly at 3.5 mins. I'm so used to my Chemex and haven't really been one to geek out about brew time too much, but this thing does make a really great cup of coffee.

I can’t find the video that can be posted here, but my dad’s coffee pot broke so I sent him the good eats: reloaded episode for coffee…old dogs and such...

Here’s his method:
“I prefer either a Chemex carafe with a paper filter or a Hario V60 drip rig over a Hario 02 carafe. Either can be put over low heat so that I can keep my coffee hot the way I like it. As for brewing, if your coffee is too sour or not full-flavored, try a slightly finer grind next time. Conversely, if it's too bitter, try a slightly coarser grind. Oh, and as for filter rinsing, I really don’t bother.“
“Directions
Special equipment: Digital kitchen scale, Burr grinder, Electronic gooseneck kettle with a thermostat or traditional kettle, Coffee carafe, Coffee mug or Gibraltar glass, Coffee dripper, Coffee filter
Heat the water to 207 degrees F. If you have a digitally controlled, electric kettle this should be simple. If your kettle is old-school, bring the water to a boil then let it sit off the heat for 30 seconds before using.
You only need 420 grams of water (same as milliliters where water is concerned) for the brew process so when the water is hot use a small amount to warm your carafe and your mug or glass. (I like to drink out of Gibraltar-style glass often used by coffee shops for serving cortados.) Dump the carafe after a few moments but leave the water in the glass until you're ready to serve.
Place your carafe on a digital scale and install the filter of your choice, either paper or metal. Add the coffee then zero out or tare the scale. Slowly pour 60 grams of the water evenly over the grounds and allow grounds to bloom for 45 seconds. (Return the kettle to its base to reheat during this time.)
After the bloom, slowly add water to the coffee grounds in a circular motion, pausing as needed to not overflow the filter, until the scale reads 420 grams (including the bloom water). If you've got your grind right this shouldn't take less than 3 minutes or more than 3 1/2.
Dump the warm water from the glass or mug, refill with coffee, and consume. And no, you don't need sugar or cream. Seriously, give it a chance.“And this is funny because sometimes I use the cafe bustelo when camping just because

How many grans of coffee for 420 ml? I usually use a 25g coffee for 350-400ml depending on how strong I want it.

About 30-31. I go 31.3 just because

A bit on the stronger side! I generally go like 1:17, sometimes 1:16. 31.3 would put you below 1 to 15, definitely a heftier cup.

I go over 420ml. I drink a lot of coffee. I'm not that rigid on the ratios, I like to fill up my travel mug in the morning. 440-445ml gets me there with a little honey and non-dairy 'creamer' to top it off. I'm happy with the result and admittedly a little loose with the discipline. Don't judge me lol!

My Daughter called me a weirdo this week for lingering at a window, watching the leaves fall
