I have been trying Scott Rao Hario V60 pourover this week. 1:17 and blooming with 2 parts water the first 45 seconds then splitting the rest into 2 pours. A little stirring is included. We like it.

My brew ratio is 1:17 (exactly 59.5 g/L). That's roughly 8.5g per 5-oz cup.

I'm looking to hire someone to teach/help me to find the best roast profile for the 3 types of coffee that grow on my farm in nicaragua. I live in LA, but but could go anywhere in so cal with my Behmor for a roasting lesson. Please contact me if you're in

When your wife thinks 30 grams for a 6 cup setting is strong, you learn to drink muddy water when you are making coffee for both of you.

I use a rule of thumb of 60 grams per liter. 8 cups (1 liter, 32 oz) = 60 grams, 6 cups (3/4 liter, 24 oz) = 45 grams. 10 cups = 75 grams 12 cups = 90 grams

For me is enough control range, ymmv. I have a feeling these units are hit or miss. I was using one well until I somehow blew some component. My ideal was figuring out how to accurately control the motor with arduino which I did.

I run 1300 W heaters (6 Amps 230 V) on 25Amp ssr without any heatsink, and it is barely warm, surely under the 60 C skin touch test limit. Current is what matters for SSR heat dissipation, not power of the heater. For 110V current is double, could be different a different case, current being double for same power, the heat could be 20-30C degrees more. Beware to cheap Fotek fake labelled SSRs, the 25 Amps labelled units were found inside fitted with 16 or even 12 Amps triacs. The 40 Amps units with 25 Amps triac. They aren't bad for the price, but you should use them at half of rated current to be safe.

I got a 40 amp SSR from Newark, which I presume should be reputable and reliable https://www.newark.com/multicomp/mc002318/solid-state-relay-40a-4-32vdc/dp/48AC9134

Ya its crazy the Foteks may be fake, I avoided the fotek as well because I couldn't find a random fire SSR from them..... I bought this https://www.newark.com/multicomp/mc002318/solid-state-relay-40a-4-32vdc/dp/48AC9134
