First time looking at one of these in a while but unrelated thought - are moneygram/oracle getting their money’s worth with whatever sponsorship dollars they’re paying to be part of the official name? I never hear or see them referenced in that way.
Looks great but I just want an accord that doesn’t look like absolute shit.

Just about the only contention I have with James hoffman is his disregard for ratios as my brain just tends to do that math easier so I start with a 17:1 ratio of water:coffee
Agreed which is so wild that the other two edits from this weekend (driver radios and race highlights) were noticeably lower quality than typical
Assuming you’re using fresh beans, coffee releases c02 when exposed to water. It’s usually the first step in pourover recipes and you can usually see it pretty dramatically.
Not the best example, but a quick search found this video with a good enough visual: (https://youtu.be/sM3cB0i6ZZU&t=1m50s)
The bloom for cold brew is just to prevent the gasses popping on your lid if you try to close it too early or overflowing. If you fill the jar with your coffee, then all the way to the top with your water, this blooming phase will spill over water and most likely the crust of all the coffee that hasn’t saturated and sunk to the bottom yet. No good. The hour I have in my recipe is definitely overkill but it’s just an easy (and lazy) easy unit of measurement to call out.
No specific recommendations since now it’s all about taste but sharing my recipe in case there’s something in there you want to try
As with just about all things coffee, James Hoffmann is a good starting point.
This should help dial in your grind size to reach a target brew time. Trial and error (with notes!) I’d half the fun to figure out your recipe. At the point my ratio/grind is pretty scalable for small and large pours.
Daily driver is a breville drip. Current ratio is 1200g water to 42g coffee. Usually grind the night before (gasp) so I can just press brew when I’m ready. I have a daily driver coffee that stays on hand but am always happy to grab a new bag of something interesting
Goemon was my gateway drug into the world of longplays on youtube. Just scratches all the right nostalgic itches. 1 on the soundtrack; bangers.
Counter point: yes you can. Eating (non candy) largely = good. My kid is about half goodles and half watermelon today.
Can’t know what your kid likes but will pass on our success with eggs, cottage cheese, and all things bread
Baby race always gets mom cause she watched it right about the same time the first baby was (not) crawling. I have a soft spot for Sleepytime but camping caught me off guard the first time we saw it.
I love cookmate. There’s an ad free version that I happily pay something nominal annually ($20?)
The import from website works the vast majority of the time (sometimes you gotta fiddle the steps getting condensed to one or something), the screen stays on while the app is up and it has a lot of custom tags/categories that’s helpful when meal prepping. Been using for at least the last five years and I’m a pretty active cook/baker - I use it just about every time I’m referencing a recipe
