one of my friends thinks that the beans to butt pipeline is a collective delusion on the part of humanity


otherwise my beans today are pretty good.

anyone have a recommendation for those reusable/re-freezable "ice cubes?" It'd definitely be nice for my summer iced coffee, but I don't want something that's going to warp the taste.

these look pretty good https://www.amazon.com/Urban-Essentials-Reusable-Ice-Cubes/dp/B08L45TNGX

I use too many cubes a day for that to be practical. I'd say 20-25/day

if you want to cool things down without watering down the drink, you're better off with the large cube style ones like I use for whiskey.

those reusable ones, and "whiskey stones" are crap.

I'm too lazy to find it but I saw a deep dive into the physics of "ice cube alternatives" or whatever and yeah, this. The takeaway was that you can't emulate the thermal properties of ice cubes with a reusable solid material.

the best decaf isn't as good as the best caf obviously but there are some craft roasters doing p deece decaf these days. like the stuff i roast is on par with ok coffee from other places imo

anyway as to the ice question i just use ice cubes as the dilution mechanism for more concentrated coffee

also why not do cold brew if you're gonna be going through that much ice?

I looked into it but it sounds pretty complicated, making iced coffee takes about five minutes. Mainly prepping for when my icemaker dies.

main issue with coldbrew is that it requires a lot of coffee (tho it also makes a concentrate so it balances out a bit, if not fully)

also yeah you're not gonna beat good ol' ice for cooling. water has some of the best heat capacity of any substance you're gonna want to put in your drink and melting it takes 80 times as much energy as raising the same amount of liquid water by a single degree.

Yeah you gotta have a cat in your lap during the coffee drinking or you're gonna be a few points short on the experience scale.
