Almost all religion is evil. Some are worse than others.

My understanding is that it cannot be adjusted to grind above super fine and fine (basically Turkish and espresso) levels. Is there some reason that you prefer this over the newer more modern choices?

The Timemore C2 original is comparably priced to some of the Sozen at around $55. There are other C2 with folding handles that are a bit more money. It is perfectly acceptable for most coffee other than espresso or ultra fine Turkish. For about $80 the Timemore C3 and at $100 the Timemore C3S noticeable improvements. At around $120 you get into the 1Zpresso brand grinders which are also good.

The Timemore C2 is a good travel size grinder.

Poor stability for consistent grind size. Poor adjustability. Really only good for super fine grind sizes. Not a good grinder if you want to do moka pot, pour over, or french press (or aero press).

Makes sense to grind a bit to get any dust or manufacturing oils out but that should not take more than 50 or 100 grams

Don’t need to go to Israel or Palestine for extremist Jews. New York has a couple of places run by the ultra conservative sects and control the local gov’t and make a lot of problems for non-believers.

You are wrong about Judaism in it’s more conservative and extreme forms. Hell, even Buddhism in it’s more extreme forms is nationalist and oppressive of non-believers.

Pretty much all religion and all nationalism are a threat to free and open democratic processes.

the is soap2day dot mn which is pretty nice

Nothing to see, just a criminal state doing criminal things.

Vietnam in October is fairly nice in the north. Starting to cool down at night a bit. Spend a week to ten days in Vietnam going from north to south (Hanoi, Halong Bay (and possibly Ninh Binh), Danang/Hoi An, and Saigon) and then then 3 days in Siem Reap, Cambodia to visit the Ankor Temple complex and then a few days in Thailand (Bangkok and the nearby Ayuthaya temple areas and maybe fly down to Phuket or take a bus to Pattaya).

The jokes on them, I already deleted all my messages and comments before deleting my account.

my daily is a shade grown farm to shop arabica from Vietnam. I use it with a Clever Dripper at the office and with a 6 cup moka pot at the home.

From the website: Under the forest canopy the range of daily and annually temperature is shorten, the coffee takes longer time to ripe and therefore it has more time to develop flavors. The coffee is hand-picked ripe and fully-washed process method is applied. It has flowery aroma, light body, smooth and sweet. Muong phang shade-grown coffee is an output of the Sustainable Coffee Development project which Oriberry has implemented for 5 years in Muong phang commune of Dien Bien. The project uses capability approach to expand farmers’ choices to help them select either monocropping sun-cultivation, traditional shade grown or coffee agroforestry. The project was funded by SUMITOMO Forestry and ASKUL from Japan under corporate social responsility component.

whole milk if I use any at all.

Hey look, the tankie CCP simp is providing completely irrelevant information

She’s such a loonie loser

Delusion rich folks are the most dangerous.

That looks like a fair amount of money with a steep learning curve.

You reversed your coffee and water in the 12.5:1 portion.

Measuring is important for repeatability but getting a good grinder should be your highest priority. A Timemore C2 will be a huge improvement over the blade grinder. You should be able to find one for around $60 most places.

Do not get the Sozen. While it is better than a blade grinder it still sucks. Don’t get anything worse than a Timemore C2. They C2 can be found for around $60 most places.
