Paperless Stainless Steel Filter
  • Do you get a lot of fines if you don’t pre-sift? And what grind size do you use? What went wrong? I’m guessing it was under extracted because the water flowed too fast.

    I wonder if metal filters work better with a Hario Switch type of coffee maker, where you can stop the flow down of water and let the grinds steep for a bit longer.

  • Paperless Stainless Steel Filter
  • What other metal filters have you tried? There are tons of these and I assumed they were all probably about the same.

    I too am curious how Able Kone, Ovalware, and other similarly priced metal filters compare. Before this, I've only tried cheap filters from AliExpress, and whatever came with my french press.

    Are you using a slightly finer grind in switching from paper to this?

    Not sure, I haven't experimented with paper much. But I use a medium-fine grind.

    I use a gold mesh filter on my drip system and I really like the coffee I get from that.

    What brand?

    I sometimes wonder if I could get away with a more coffee sparing ratio without sacrificing flavor if I used a metal filter on my Chemex (use a 1/13.5 rationwith paper).

    I use a 1:15 - 1:17 ratio. But I have a Hario Switch (clone), so the grounds get a little immersion time too.

  • Paperless Stainless Steel Filter

    I don't mean this to be an advertisement, but I have tried a few metal coffee filters, and have not been able to find one that works as well as one from a company called Ovalware. Its the only one I could find that lists a micron size for the inner mesh (40 μm). I've found that this draw down time is faster than a paper filter, it is still slower than other mesh filters. And while it doesn't quite eliminate fines, it does a great job keeping most of them out of my coffee compared to other mesh filters. I've also not had any trouble with the filter coming apart at the seams, or getting coffee grounds stuck between the inner and outer layers.

    Has anyone tried this filter? Or have you found other metal filters that you've liked?

    DNS Services that Allow Subzones/Subdomains?
  • Cloudflare supports NS records, which is what you’re looking for. Except it probably only lets you create a zone for the top level domain, so you can only delegate to other providers. AWS Route53 will let you create subdomain zones, and will let you create NS records to set up delegation.

    Are hardware security keys worth it? If so, which to pick?
  • In my opinion the biggest problem with hardware keys is what happens when you lose them. You have to either provision the keys yourself, putting the secret on your computer. Or you have to buy backup keys and make sure to register both with all your services. You’ll end up using your phone or password manager as a “backup.” And then that backup becomes your primary 2FA.

  • Looking for a DNS resolver
  • I tried Mullvad's DNS service and found that it messed up sites that rely on geography based DNS routing. For example, I'd get sent to a service's servers in Singapore instead of the US. This caused some noticeable lag.

  • What are good waterproof jackets? (budget ~100-200€)
  • You can buy a jacket that is (mostly) made out of cotton, and then wax it yourself. It’ll probably take you a few hours to do, but it can be done inexpensive. AliExpress has some cheap waxed jackets too.

  • What are good waterproof jackets? (budget ~100-200€)
  • Not direct advice. But I've switched from "technical" waterproof fabrics that use DWR chemicals, to waxed fabrics. I've found that after a year of use, the technical fabrics lose their ability to repel water, and I can't get them back no matter what I do. Waxed fabrics are heavier and don't breathe as well, but you can reapply wax to get them to repel water again.

  • My grinder is a Jaffee J1 from AliExpress, and I’m currently using it on 30 25 clicks. Oddly I was able to using a finer grind and longer steep time on my French press. Something about the drip seems to extract more from the coffee.

    This is a follow up to https://lemmy.today/post/5656872

    I recently got a Hario Switch clone and a metal filter. So far I'm liking a recipe inspired by these YouTube shorts:

    • https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rCj4hBDpY6Q
    • https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dAWQPUVDKck

    Recipe:

    1. Start with 20g of grinds, stir to loosen the grinds and make a divot in the center
    2. With the switch closed, add 150g of 90C (195F) water
    3. Give it a quick stir and wait 1 minute
    4. Add another 150g of hot water
    5. Open switch

    What is your daily driver recipe for your Hario Switch?

    It looks like Duck Duck Go is down at the moment. What is your second choice for privacy respecting search?
  • They announced a few months ago that they would partner with Brave to surface Brave search results too. The CEO of Brave is known to be homophobic. People got mad, and Kagi’s response was that they are too small to be picky, and have to focus on search quality.

  • Cheap immersion pour over switch & stainless steel filter

    Everyone here talks about the Hario Switch. And I like the oils you get from a French press, so I want a stainless steel filter too. I had some good experiences buying a cheap manual grinder on Ali Express (Jaffee J1 w/ 7 core burr), so I wanted to set out to see if I could do the same with this set up.

    Do you think this will work?
