Anyone else want to be able to review the link text on hyperlinks? I appreciate how they are called out in a list below the post, but they only show the link text and not the href link. I would like to see whether the link leads to e.g. an untrusted or disliked URL without opening it.

Does anyone here do the Park&Homer / J. Reynolds crosswords? They show up in my alt weekly and I had the idea to start a running feed of questionable content in them xD

This week I’m enjoying Barrett’s Columbian Huila Natural - Carlos Fernando Red Bourbon.

This is one of the rarer ones that doesnt seem to drop off into bitterness no matter how fine I grind. Because of that I imagine it would make pretty fantastic espresso. The tasting notes of “blueberry, bubblegum, chili powder, winey, consistent” seem all over the place to me, and i’m not getting any of those. This coffee just tastes like a nice medium roast to me without any huge standout notes.

Looks like they reused a URL here since it doesnt match the description.

Anyone else seeing mlem login issues? Guess my instance may have updated. I was getting a parse error on my user page, tried reinstalling/relogging but now cant log in with mlem. works ok on the webservice, though.

I will check bug reports for this but I noticed mlem refreshes the feed when you change from portrait to landscape or vice-versa. Happens when trying to switch aspects while viewing an image, which loses the image, which is Very Annoying. Anyone else have same experience?

Today I’ve just started in to a bag of Chromatic Kunjin, tasting notes on the bag of “tart cherry / molasses vibes” seems true to my taste. It’s overall round, very juicy, and syrupy. This coffee looked especially red and velvety to me when ground, and quite low in chaff. I bought it from the discount shelf at the shop in San Jose, and was traveling around with it for a few days and it was filling the car with an irresistible aroma. Once home I had it frozen for about a month before thawing and now enjoying. Doesn’t seem too worse for wear!

For those like me interested in the Pulsar brewer, I am considering trying a similar poor-man’s setup based on the Oxo compact cold brewer. It also has valve actuation for blooming, and you can sandwich a standard aeropress filter in after its metal filter but before the valve for a cleaner cup. The only catch I can think of is that the valve actuation requires a bottle neck of a fairly specific size, and the bottle it comes with only comfortably holds around 500ml.

Enjoying the Leonid Ramirez from Pulp coffee roasters in San Antonio. This is one of the rare ones that seems great in pourover no matter how finely I grind. Advertised tasting notes did not align with my experience, there is a mild tartness up front but overall I just find this to be a perfectly delicious and round coffee. This is the least chaff I’ve ever dealt with, I see almost none when grinding.

Stopped in to the roasting facility and was given a small tour and friendly updates about their recent roasts from the owner. Was invited to share a roaster’s test brew with the fellas in the shop.
