I once had a summer job at the local water authorities. I had the change to witness this kind of stuff with my very own eyes. Chia might be a wining bet, it has been a regular part of my diet for some time. This is a problem because I won't be able to put the blame on my partner then.

    En bluetooth ça doit pas capter très loin, non ? Je me suis un peu amusé avec Meshtastic ces derniers temps. Il faut une radio spécial, donc c'est pas tout à fait la même chose. En revanche ça marche bien. Je reçois des messages dans les 150km à la ronde. Il y a plein de nœuds dans ma région.

    I can't think of anyone that would be interested right now. These beans are pretty tasty made as cold brew. It gives sweet and chocolatey notes. We are past the cold brew season though, I am not in the mood for iced drinks. Yesterday, I was very busy with meetings, so I just microwaved a cup of the cold brew. It wasn't the most powerful flavors, but it tasted pretty nice overall.

    I am fortunate enough to have the option to work from home several days a week. Extra nice is the coffee at home is much much tastier than in the office :D

    I prepared this "latte macchiato" style drink with a 4-cup moka pot, 16g of store-bought high roast coffee beans (not particularly good), 170mL water. 100mL milk, warmed in the microwave, foamed with a small electric whisk.

    Easy to prepare at home with simple tools. I don't have any fancy espresso machine 😥 Result looks good, tastes not bad either. What hold it back in terms of flavor is the quality of the beans. I am just trying to get through this bag quickly as to not waste.

     

    My brother brought me a gift from Vietnam: a Vietnamese style filter pot and some local Robusta beans. I followed the recipe from the bag:

    • 20g coffee grounded super fine
    • 10ml and 30s bloom
    • 60ml of additional water (70ml with bloom water)

    This yields a super concentrated 30ml cup. Not something I would drink black. The coffee flavor will come through in Vietnamese recipe involving salted cream and concentrated milk.

     

    James Hoffmann and Lucia Solis are organizing a live event around the world for tasting coffee beans produced using 4 different fermentation processes.

    I managed to get a tasting kit and is came in the mail today! This wasn't easy, it sold out very quickly.

    Since I had to pay a substantial amount for shipping from afar, I got myself an extra bag from the roster to try out.

    This year, I would like pay an homage to an artiste at the crossroads of synthwave and chiptune: LukHash ! I have recreated a portion of the Home Arcade album cover. It’s an ambitious 111x116px, it will be a challenge to complete in 48 hours ! (for reference, last year’s Carpenter Brut logo was 64x64px)
