  • Incredible! That’s pretty much what I was gonna say. Might throw this dockerfile in the extras folder.

    Yea the hexbear specific stuff basically boils down to the taglines, the emojis, and the header in home.tmpl. There’s quite a few things I could do to make it a lot easier to use for other lemmy instances … there’s not a lot of configuration right now, but I tried to leave a lot of comments in the code.





  • I have a relatively nice grinder and an aeropress. I’ve used traditional presses, moka pots, a v60, and so on but I definitely prefer the aeropress. It’s extremely easy and consistent. Once you have your recipe dialed there’s almost nothing you can do to fuck it up so I just never get any astringency or acidity.

    That said the grinder is definitely more important than the brew method. If you have $70 to spend; get a $65 grinder and get a $5 press or v60 at a thrift shop. You definitely want an electric grinder with nice ceramic burrs if you can afford it.

    I used a hand grinder for years. A very nice and accurate one. The idea of using a hand grinder + moka pot was very romantic to me, but in practice it’s a huge pain in the ass and the coffee will never come out as good as a silly looking plastic aeropress.
