@SRDas@coffeegeek@coffee@espresso freezing beans, in my experience (even as a home roaster), yields decent results. Surely fresh is better, but compared to other preservation techniques freezing is a practical and affordable way to achieve consistently good brewing results. I like freezing in small glass bottles that give me enough for one or two brews and serve as a strong thermal mass to reduce fluctuations while in the freezer.
Josh at Alternative Brewing reviews the range of 1zpresso grinders, and
SPOILER ALERT
He ends up picking the same model I like the most. The X-Ultra!
The J-Ultra and K-Ultra are outstanding grinders (J for espresso primary, K for brew grinder primary),
BUT... the X-Ultra, the true multipurpose grinder in the lineup, has the best feel, and possibly best overall output, and is $40 less than the J and X models!
"Generative AI is getting more advanced by the day. During the course of my reporting, I was shown deepfake videos, purportedly portraying global leaders like U.S. President Joe Biden and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, that were indistinguishable from the real thing. They included politicians allegedly speaking in multiple languages and saying things that, if true, would have ended their careers."
@gerrymcgovern I’m convinced half of the content I am being served by YouTube’s algorithm lately is AI generated in terms of story, script, visuals and narration. As soon as I sense it I leave the video (generally in the first few seconds of the video but some are quite convincing).
