James Belchamber @james.belchamber.com · 04/01/2026It's coffee freezing day 😎 green for Chemex 4-cup, grey for v60 2-cup. Dump these straight out of the freezer and into the grinder for more more consistency from brew to brew - and anecdotally I think the grind profile is more even as well. Cheaper, too! 000

James Belchamber @james.belchamber.com · 20/06/2025The evil one must summon, in their core, to oppose the expansion of rights for one group based on the unsubstantiated fears of another group, is insane.

It also doesn't help that the loud voice for the tech (specially online) is from grifters, so a large number of end users don't want to accept if the tech might even be of the smallest help...
