  • Thx!! yeah I like glass stuff but aeropress is a nice travel brewer. Seems a shame to eliminate that feature. As for the plastic ingestion stuff. Probably good to cut down where you can with disposables etc but having worked in food service, man it’s unavoidable. The majority of food you buy or consume has already come into contact with plastic. Can’t believe he didn’t give it a hard time for being a bigger heat-sink than the plastic one!


  • Interesting idea I guess but I’m a little foggy on what’s happening here after reading this. So I buy my local beans and then what? Tell it about the roast level and origin? Does it look for any collected info on my local roaster from other users? Where do the Ai brains come in exactly?

    I still believe the ultimate coffee brewer will be something that assess physical properties of a very small sample (single bean) such as crush modulus, water content, spectroscopic roast level, bean density, etc. Etc. And then comes up with grind size recs and brew parameters. Going from really good to great with any bean almost always comes with trial and error related to a slew of variables that are not static from bag to bag.







  • Why? I’m really frustrated it right now because I’m not used to it, but the settings drop down always felt cramped and this logically makes more sense. I can’t think of an instance where I simultaneously wanted to see notifications and settings. Seems to make sense to separate these. I also thought it was annoying when I switched from the little nav buttons at the bottom to gestures, but man I can’t imagine being without gestures now.
