    How do you make your coffee?

    I generally use a pour over whether it’s my chemex or a smaller one. Cold brew is my other go to.

    I picked it up last weekend and put it on. Haven't been to the range yet but so far I like it a lot. Seems solid despite part of it being plastic.

    1492 would be my choice so long as I’m not the one paying for them.

    Coffee Roasting

    I went a little darker than I have been going on other batches. I’ll be interested to try this one. Unfortunately I charged quite a bit lower than I have been because I got distracted (though I usually charge pretty high). This is a washed yirgacheffe.

    Why use distilled water

    We spend how much on cigars? Distilled water is cheap, why not use it just to be safe?

    Type of Cut vs. Taste

    My vote is for coincidence. I’ve not personally noticed a difference.

    Coffee Roasting

    That’s fantastic. What’s the smoke output like? I went head first into roasting and bought a dedicated home roaster that I found on Craigslist for a good deal. It looks like I could have saved a bundle.

    Let's talk credit, credit cards, and rewards!

    Great choice! I would have made the same choice since the reserve and preferred have the same sign up bonus. I have the reserve and love it. For me it’s worth the extra $55 in annual fee (after accounting for the travel credit which I usually spend in the first month or two).

    I really like Chase Ultimate Reward Points. The redemption rates are great and the transfer options even better. Where are you traveling for your honeymoon and how far in the future is the trip? Southwest flies to a handful of central American and Caribbean destinations now. I don't...

    Retire a Millionaire

    You'll never get rich chasing credit card points. That being said, you'll get lots of free travel and other bonuses that you don't NEED but that are nice. If you travel a decent amount, I'm partial to Chase ultimate reward points. The chase sapphire cards are great. I can send you a referral...

    Coffee Roasting

    I'm fairly new to roasting and have only done a nicaraguan and a yirgacheffe. I've found the yirg best with a high charge temp. I've still got a ton to learn, but my suggestion is to read a ton and then when you are sick and tired of reading about roasting, read a bit more. My other...
