ERRATA CORRIGE
Turns out I’m a little dumb and I read the K6 precautions incorrectly

RDT is not actually discouraged. They actually advice against spraying water directly on the metal parts of the grinder

Avoid spraying water directly onto any part of the grinder. You can perform RDT by spraying water on another object.

So there’s that. It is not so sensible to corrosion as I was firstly worried about. Yay

@PinGZ@infosec.pub never tried RDR, but I heard multiple times about that. I don’t think I’ll try it since the manufacturer explicitly advises against that technique, however I think I’d still prefer to clean it at least once a couple of days, so the hustle of assembly would remain. Fortunately seems like I’m getting used to it, they could have done better tho

@sinceasdf@lemmy.world to be honest, it seems like there’s not general consensus about which material works better, so my guess is that they may give different results but they’re both good depending on what you like.
I’d also add that the grinder itself might be more important as the overall build quality and stability might have a role in the quality of grinding, as someone suggested that Porlex performs worse not because of the burr itself but because it is not secured well enough so it has some play side to side.
But yeah, as I said I was still happy with that, even if it was generally less comfortable to use

@will_a113@lemmy.ml @coffee@a.gup.pe Until now I’ve always been using Porlex mini II, but sadly I broke the burr. I was pretty happy about it but I learned it is generally considered as an inconsistent grinder, so I looked for an upgrade in my setup and K6 seemed a good choice.
To be honest I did notice a certain range of dimension in the Porlex ground, but the resulting coffee always seemed good enough for me. I’m curious about the difference with the K6

About a.gup.pe, I’m using Sharkey to post, so I don’t really know if lemmy supports the following of users. I guess it’s not possible, since Guppe groups are technically bot accounts, Lemmy shouldn’t be able to see them as communities

@baronvonj@lemmy.world as far as I know, that number shows the number of shares. It is not an indication that you are seeing that post because it was boosted tho.
The thing is, if I follow a user and that user boosts a post from someone I’m not following, that post is supposed to show up in my TL, in the same way as any other Fediverse platform. However that doesn’t happen. I tested it: on Pixelfed home TL you only see posts from users you follow, you don’t see boosts of posts made by users you’re not following. And since the purpose of boosting is to let you know new people, that’s a really big bummer

on Cold brew freshness · c/coffee · 10 pts · 1y

@oreteau@lemmy.world cold brew stays fresh and good for days, I’d say a week at least, I guess you would probably need to worry about the safety factor before the flavour. However in the summer I usually make 1 liter and it get consumed in 4/5 days, but I think it can last more. Of course you need to keep the jar well sealed.
Note that after little time a thin white film starts forming on the surface. That’s totally normal and you shouldn’t worry about it, it is not mold (as it should need much more time to form) but some water and coffee minerals and residuals concentrating on top. It’s not aesthetically appealing but it’s totally safe.

@Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works Actually I literally just did it after tasting a V60 coffee in a local cafe. I got a 150g bag of the same coffee (a really good Colombian) and I managed to obtain a cup almost as good as the one they served me, even if I'm using a stovetop kettle without termometer.
However my main doubt is about the setting of the grinder, mainly because I can calculate how many steps it needs to obtain a theorically correct size of the ground, however I mostly end up looking for instructions online and finding the right setting by trying

@rglullis@communick.news tbh we shouldn't expect the adoption curve of any Fediverse software to be somewhat similar to the ones of centralised social networks, since Fediverse completely misses the commercial aspect that encourage key users to stay in the platform easing communities to stick to it as well. My guess is that without the action of commercial dynamics, the situation wouldn't be so different from the jumps-and-losses moments we're used to
