To accompany my new V60 coffee dripper, I've just ordered some medium roast Guatemalan coffee beans from my northern Queensland supplier. I haven't tried this variant before, previously I've only bought darker roasts from them.
Realised the grind of coffee I was using with the electric burr grinder was too coarse for use with the new V60, I chucked some into the Porlex Mini hand burr grinder & reground it. I needed 15 grams & coincidentally, that's how much I had just ground.
A much better result, the brew didn't drain through the filter as quickly.
I went against my normal processes & had a cup with my dinner, thus far without ill effect.
Really impressed with the smoothness of the slow extraction vs faster methods such as the AeroPress.
Downloaded 5 episodes of a TV series & burned a DVD of it using the MacBook Air a week ago. I chose 480p MP4 as the download quality & each episode was around 285 MB.
It took a long time & the result, while watchable, was rather low resolution.
So tonight I repeated the process, this time using the iMac, downloading the episodes as 720p MP4, each one around 750 MB & burned a DL DVD of 7.94 GB. I then repeated the process but saving as a .dmg. Toast 16 was chosen as the assembly/burning app. Very effective.
Quite pleased with the result, which took about 20% of the time using the iMac & more streamlined processes than I'd employed with the Air.
@variablepulserate Correct. Of course, you need to rip the DVD on another Mac or use Remote Disc app.
@variablepulserate It’s the folder that contains the Video TS & Audio TS folders. Add .dvdmedia to the folder’s file name.
It will open directly in VLC Player.
I now have two plastic V60 drippers. This Hario one is a circular cone with a finger-sized hole in the base. The other is a wedge-shaped cone with a tiny hole in the base.
