Ordered coffee online 29 hours ago. Package shipped 23 hours ago & traveled an average of 134 kph to arrive in 22.5 hours, it had to go 3000 km.
Made my first brew with the new beans in the Hario V60 that arrived yesterday morning. I need to adjust the grind one stop (back to where I had previously set it) as the coffee to coming through about 25 seconds too quickly for the amount of water used. Need to be a coarser grind.
Excellent, smooth coffee, though.

@larand There is a special (over-populated) place in Hell for arseholes of that nature.

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.
