I think they have an Easter sale on at the moment...

 

This year I started making coffee at home a lot more than I have in the past, mainly due to investing in a new set up. Tried quite a lot of different roasters/beans which has been great. Have a few go to roasters now and a better idea of the beans/roasts I tend to prefer. Here's to 2024!

From what I can tell, relative humidity in the room does reduce the amount of static a little, but still not as much as you would get from performing the RDT they suggest in the study.

Will be interesting to see whether the data behind this study mentions that.

I'm making my way through this in the hopes I don't need to read through the study: https://youtu.be/GuqVUsMPs-U?si=rq0n9pL0bO6Pna-l

Worth watching for the "sponsorship" half way through.

Totally. Every week there's a study to say caffeine is bad for you, then the next week there's a study saying it's good for you.

TL;DR

Overall, based on relatively limited published clinical data, our review does not support using blue-light filtering lenses to reduce eye strain with digital device use. It is unclear whether these lenses affect vision quality or sleep, and no conclusions can be drawn about any potential effects on the health of the retina.

 

Focused more on speciality coffee, but still an interesting watch.

A few offers going round for father's day. Here's a couple I've come across so far and are both for 1kg bags.

Oh nice! A little jealous of the end game set up, if there is such a thing.

[–] yesterdayshero@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I have one as well and I'm really enjoying it. Good to hear it's still going strong. I've only had mine for about 6 months.

How long have you had the BDB? How are you finding it?

[–] yesterdayshero@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I was going to go for that, but I ended up pledging on the Timemore Sculptor Kickstarter campaign. So waiting for that to arrive now, which likely won't be until end of year.

Yeah, I was buying at least 1-2 coffees a day. I only buy around 2-3 a week now (when I'm not at home). I'm also getting to the point where I'm happier with the quality of coffee at home than what I'm getting at a cafe.

 

Was wondering what people's coffee setups are.

I'll start. I mainly drink espresso and piccolo's. But also have several Moka pots that only get used once every few months since getting the BDB.

  • Breville Dual Boiler
  • Kingrinder K4
 
 

I've been gradually making my way through a variety of coffee beans over the last few months and was wondering what recommendations people here have for beans or roasters in Australia.

Thought it might also be helpful to anyone who was wanting to try something new but didn't know where to start.

 

Let's make this the place to discuss anything coffee related, with an Australian perspective.

 

Could we get a community set up for all things coffee? There are a couple around Lemmy already, but thought there should be an aussie based community to discuss local roasters, share set ups and not wonder why everyone is posting summer drink ideas during our winter.

Happy to help moderate if needed.
