      We checked out dark arts coffee in london. Hard to find by chance but worth the extra walk.

          Thank you, it was awesome. Plus the people were super friendly and played good music. Was good hanging out there. Also not too far is crypt of the wizard and the hackney farm, so its worth going to hackney.

            I studied at The University of London, Queen Mary College, 1988-1991 and lived on the Hackney Road. Was a really diverse, interesting and bustling place back then. Enjoy  🙂

              @den1mhead Cool! Locals said it changed the last years - i liked it there. On my instagram account (rise_above_1984) you can see pictures of the hackney farm. That place was fantastic.

                  Local Barista and my fav coffee shop said I should get a Kalita 155 Steel Wave Dripper. Ordered!

                  Picked up a 185 a few days ago and have been really impressed with the quality of the cup.

                  I love how far down the rabbit hole you all go in the name of caffeine!

                  Thanks for the recommendation!

                    Nice Earache/Napalm Death tee. I can't remember if I saw them or Bolt Thrower in concert many years ago. Good times

                      @budpatch nice on the 185. It's been my mainstay for years. I do go to a chemex if I want to go all out, but the 185 is a really high bar/sweet spot.

                      In random coffee news I'm onto my second cup of Cup of Excellence coffee for the spring/summer. Hints of a panama geisha, but more chocolatey back pallet and body. In heaven to be drinking such wonderful coffee this early in the season.

                        After being inspired by what some of you guys are doing, I thought I'd treat myself to a starter pack and a Kalita. Brewiing Jug will be here later today and then its Liftoff.

                            Normally I drink cold brew all summer, most of the winter too…but the Kalita has me sipping on warm Puerto Rican goodness in the heat of August!

                            Enjoy!

                                  Just curious,Do you make your own cold brew or do you buy it?

                                    I make my own…so much cheaper and I am frequently changing the bean to test out new varieties and regions.

                                    I typically use a half gallon jar and soak 2 cups of ground coffee in 64 oz of filtered water for as close to 20 hours as I can get.  I had read that Starbucks formulation scientists found the 20 hour sweet spot for their in-house cold brew, so that's what I'm basing my timing on.

                                    Interested in what everyone else's methods are...

                                        Not a cold brew fan myself,but I occasionally make it for my wife. I just use my French Press for about 18 hours.

                                          Do you guys do your cold brew at room temperature or in the fridge?

                                            I've been doing 1 cup coffee with 4 cups water for 24 hours in the fridge with intermittent stirring. I'm a total newbie at it but so far have had decent results. Next batch I might do at room temp but with a shorter brew time.
