I just opened a bag of washed light roast Arabica Typica from Dalat, Veitnam. Used a V60 to brew it and a Fellow Opus to grind it.
Quite nice. Floral and fruity not bitterness or excess sourness. Very happy considering the relatively low cost.

The specialty robusta niche is growing since it is easier to grow. I’ve not tried any of it yet.
sounds like a win-win
Nice outside the box thinking.
Uncontrolled discharge of waste in all uses is a major issue for all PFOAs though and I am not sure that there is anyway to handle the waste that it doesn’t get back into the environment.
Not specifically certain songs but definitely certain artists. I have to the would library on shuffle sometimes to mix things up and introduce a bit of freshness.
well damn, seems I am way behind the times.
Snoop is not a convicted felon but Martha Stewart is. apparently they are both felons now!
The Opus is a great grinder for the money. Very powerful. Low enough rpms to not generate too much heat. Not too many fines. Huge torque, like the lightest roast doesn’t even begin to make it work hard.
I already have two very nice hand grinders, so I have good conical burrs. If it hadn’t been for the moka/espresso side track, I was wanting to try out the flat burr profiles.
I have plenty of money for a nice espresso machine, what I don’t have is excess counter space in the kitchen nor an excess of patience that seems to be needed for learning and getting good at espresso.
Also, after lots of moka pot and cafe espresso, I think I just realized I am really more of a light roast filter coffee person.
Should have been shut down years ago.
I got a Fellow Opus thinking I might get an espresso machine in the future and I was thinking it might be better for moka pot which I was doing at the time. Now I have abandoned the moka pot and have at least for now decided not to consider an espresso machine. So I regret not getting the Ode 2. Not that the Opus is a bad grinder, it isn’t bad especially at less than $200 but I am now doing only V60 pour over and the Ode 2 would be a better grinder for that.

You get a lot of value for the money with the better hand grinders. The really good 1zpresso, Kinu, and others (not Commandante C40 which is way obsolete for the money) get you great burrs and materials without the added expense and space of a motor. A good hand grinder will go through 25 grams of beans in under a minute easily.
Both are quite good but please be looking at the Ode 2 and not the original Ode. Same goes for the DF64, make sure that it is Gen 2 and not the original.
If it’s the same bag or a different bag from the same roast date then that couple of weeks is quite possibly related to the age of the beans.
The grind consistency and shape of the grinds can be better for pour over. The 1zpresso ZP6 and the Fellow Ode 2 are two grinders that are specifically designed to produce better grinds for pour over. Both under $400.
There are some great hand grinders available now compared to a decade ago. To get a remotely acceptable electric grinder you would need to spend around $150 or so for something like the Baratza Encore. For that same money you can get a really good hand grinder from 1zpresso or Kingrind which will produce more consistent grinds and fairly quickly.
