I pulled the first shot with a new bean. Ground waay to fine and pulled a 20g "ristretto" in 45 seconds, lmao. It was tasty anyways!

>>21513331 (OP)
Metal filter or paper filters?

>>21513759
depends

Am I missing something or is the french press honestly kind of bad?
All that precision goes out the window because your grounds sit in the water the whole time.

>>21513791
>or is the french press honestly kind of bad?
yes

FP is not about precision, you're missing the point

>>21513759
Paper.

>>21513791
The French press is about making acceptable coffee in less than ideal circumstances.

>>21513880
The worst of both worlds. Shit coffee, shit workflow, minimal control, such a pain to clean there's an entire culture of accumulating rancid oil.

>>21513898
>Shit coffee

> shit workflow, minimal control, such a pain to clean there's an entire culture of accumulating rancid oil.
skill issue

>>21513904
Italians, poors, and autistic bogans are known to be some of the most skilled individuals there are.

>>21513791
>All that precision goes out the window because your grounds sit in the water the whole time.
You're retarded and don't understand what you're even trying to do with said "precision".

>If you are stuck with a grind that is not suited for your pourover method, brewing it with an immersion brew is likely to yield you better results.
So poors with blade grinders and pre-ground buyers?

>>21513909
>bogans
not round these parts
bogans are plans dwellers and coastal nomads

>>21513949
Sorry I meant skippy poofters.

>>21513943
No. At which point did he say that the pourover yielded an objectively better result? He tested with every grind level and it never happened.

>>21513943
>My method is better because... it costs more money and it's harder to do even though it doesn't necessarily have any benefit over other simpler methods, and I know this because people told me on an anime forum and I've never tested it myself, I mean like r u poor or something lol

>>21513959
fair enough, carry on then.

>>21513898
>there's an entire culture of accumulating rancid oil.
I just throw mine in the dishwasher after each use. Not my favorite brew method, but it can make a large quantity at once.

>>21513963
That's a word for word quote from his conclusion. If you can't adjust your grind, throwing coffee in water and waiting is likely to yield something more drinkable than trying to fuck with a very channeled pourover. Like if your stuck camping with a makeshift mortar and pestle or someone gave you a bag of pre-ground espresso for Christmas.
>>21513977
That's not at all what I'm saying. Grinders have gotten absurdly cheap over the last few years. A sub $50 grinder will give you a decent cup with enough range to dial in anything.
>I've never tested it myself
French presses are very cheap. I think I paid $9/for the one I don't use from Aldi.

>>21513990
>That's a word for word quote from his conclusion. If you can't adjust your grind, throwing coffee in water and waiting is likely to yield something more drinkable than trying to fuck with a very channeled pourover.
And the reason for that was that the pourover did not yield a superior result at any point, while the immersion brew did. When the grind size was not ideal the pourover turned into shit while the immersion was still at least okay. You're trying to act like what he said was some kind of "win" for pourover, when the reason behind it was that the pourover never beat the immersion at any grind level. They make coffee that tastes different, but neither one is better or worse and it just comes down to preference. But pourover is more finicky and prone to failing, and does not produce something superior unless you just personally prefer the way it tastes.

>>21513963
>I hope this is going to be a useful little tip, a little trick, a little hack to have in the toolbox should you end up with coffee ground in a way that you don't want it to be ground
Seems pretty cut and dry.

>>21513989
>dishwasher

>>21514007
Yeah are you poor?

>>21514014
dishwasher removes the protective coating on the moka pot and exposes you to the aluminium which at that point is no longer food safe
its common knowledge not to put a moka in the dish washer

>>21514005
Its a clickbait title into one of hoffmemes patented milquetoast conclusions. Lance would tell you to throw away anything resembling a v60.
>Pourover is more finicky
When you're intentionally grinding espresso fine on ek-b burrs for a video.

>>21514093

>>21514122
That looks nice but very fancy, the ones we use here are very rustic made out of wood. The tradition actually comes from peasants that used to brew their coffee like this.
>>21514130
Sup anon, are you tico as well?

>>21513989
>>21514014
You can only do that with stainless, otherwise if its aluminum like most then you're just ruining it.

I just don't believe it. You'd think it was the upper classes jamming old socks through wood.

>>21514043
I had read about the link between them but I just assumed it was one of those things that make such a minor impact, no one would realistically consider it.

>>21514047
Oils that can raise cholesterol are present in unfiltered coffee that paper filters absorb. Obviously there's probably a huge genetic at play as well with but before I got into specialty stuff and pour overs/aeropressing I was drinking tons of french press coffee.

Consider it resting.

Just got my bag of Juicy Strawberry. 9 days off roast. Said fuck the rest time and brewed a cup.

This stuff slaps. They rec to rest it 2-3 weeks and it peaks 4-6... if that's true I am excited to see what it tastes like at peak.

smash burgers
well i forgot i didnt have any buns so it was sort of like a smash burger cross with a grilled cheese sandwich
pretty good tho
i drank half the coffee before i started eating, and then finished the coffee after.
pic is the beans

>>21515755
I'd eat the fuck outta that. Sounds super comfy

>Coffee makes you thirsty
what a fucking lie, all I drink is coffee n tea and I'm fine

I was so tired today I forgot to bloom and just kept pouring the whole amount
it's not that bad, really

Cezve brewing is epic. Whenever I have just a few grams of beans left in a bag, not enough to make a full espresso or V60, I'll make a tasty smol cup in a cezve. It's always good and tasty!

Lately i've been saving my stale beans and mixing them with protein powder and vanilla milk. goes insane.

>>21515755

>>21513791
You're getting a "baseline" with French press, which is convenient for people who don't want to fuck with a lot of brewing variables, but along with a brew method you can't fuck up you get lower extraction. Immersion methods use coffee to brew coffee, after all.
>>21513923
Not at all surprising that the method where you're constantly adding fresh solvent to the grounds is going to be less tolerant of sub-optimal grind sizes. Thanks, Jimmy.

I bought some Australian beans because I desperately want local coffee to be good. The smell of the beans was very nut forward with something that I couldn't place. Actually brewing the coffee and it becomes the dominant smell and I figured out what it is - garden hose water. Refreshing shady winter's garden hose water. I kind of like the novelty but it's not great.

>>21518006
>I kind of like the novelty but it's not great.
yep
that about sums up australian grown coffee

>>21517400
Same for me, I can drink coffee or tea close to bed time and it doesnt keep me awake. It might make me have to get up and piss sometime in the night though depending on how much water Ive drunk during the day. Once your body says its time for sleep, its time to sleep. I used to be drinking coffee all nulight on 24 hour shifts and it did nothing for me, the only thing that kept me awake was the pain burning my lips on the hot fresh coffee and pissing non stop.

>>21514962
I havent had that in a long time but I remember it being pretty decent. Working on the 4 lbs of Kroger medium roast I got for free right now. Im set for a while and dont think Im gonna run out anytime soon because my school keeps giving it to me.

Last time I was in here I got memed into buying a 6-cup Moka and a grinder I need to fill twice before I have enough grinds. Now I want an Aeropress for when I want some coffee, but not 6 cups of it. Any more sage buying advice?

>>21518393
>no hg1

>>21518470

>>21518470
>6 cup moka pot
why did you do that if you live by yourself? the standard is 3 cups
and of course it takes two rounds of grinding, no hand grinder in my mind handles more than 30 grams a load
or you are really guilable or you have room-temperature IQ

>>21518393
Looks like he's lost some weight since the last time I was served one of his videos. Good for him. I've heard one too many malapropisms from him to ever watch his videos again though. Hopefully he has improved on that front as well.

>>21518478
How so?

>>21518487
>why did you do that if you live by yourself?
That was what /ck/ advised. It fits my routine ok on regular days: I get enough coffee to last from breakfast to lunch time (my travel mug does an admirable job at maintaining its temperature until then).

>or you are really guilable or you have room-temperature IQ
I've read the sticky, watched many videos on the Moka pot and a few grinder reviews. It's never hinted that grinder capacity should be considered. No one here mentioned it either when I asked about what Moka-grinder combo to get, so why should I have supposed it would be an issue?

>>21518495
>How so?
6 cup moka doesnt make 6 cups
also just tell us what grinder mate
no point in hiding it.
>Looks like he's lost some weight since the last time I was served one of his videos. Good for him
hes on ozempic.

also i grind for moka every day
6 cup
about 30ish grams
1 grind
takes a minute at most
not hard or annoying

>>21518419
what about lance are you threatened by?

if 17% of the stuff you produce were DOA, this is really bad

>>21518553
He was buying very used grinders/burrs from the late 80s early 90s looking for specific changes. (not his pic) If you look at the top set here, its a mismatched pair from 1992/1995 and resharpened in 01.

>>21518503
I know a 6-cup Moka doesn't make 6 mugs of coffee. It's still too much for one serving (in most cases - I have resorted to it on occasion). My grinder is the Kingrinder P2. As far as I can tell, its capacity is very typical of reasonably-priced hand grinders. It takes considerably longer than a minute to grind the full capacity of the Moka pot. It is by far the most irritating part of the workflow, but I do it regularly.

>>21518548
No one anywhere else mentioned it either, as I said.

>>21518608
>No one anywhere else mentioned it either
Sounds like a real nonissue for everyone else then.

>Kingrinder P2
yeh no wonder.
i cant imagine anyone HERE telling to buy that unless YOU told us that you had a maximum of $50 to spend on a grinder
its like buying a 40 year old used car for $500 and then complaining that it sucks.

>>21518618
People are strange.

>>21518629
According to >>21518487 it's no worse than any other hand grinder in this regard, so even if I had made what you may consider to be an astute purchase, I would find myself in the same bind.

>>21518634
You bought a small diameter grinder. Had you gone up to a normal sized hand grinder(like the $99 K6, any J or K 1zpresso, Kinus etc) they'd fit a bit more.

>>21518470
Buy a 3 cup

>>21518758
didnt you hear him? he now wants a n aeropiss!
this will obviously solve all his problems

>>21518657
What a shame no one with your knowledge offered their help in my earlier hour of need. May your post be a boon to any anon considering a 6-cup Moka pot.

>>21518758
I may, but if I'm going to buy some more gear I may as well buy something that expands my coffee horizons a bit.

>>21518783
It's not obvious to me that it will affect my life outside of how I brew coffee, but if the Aeropress really is capable of that, it would be a very attractive purchase indeed.

oxo rapid brewer arrived, coffee frens!

Why do people act like a French press is super difficult to clean? I can take the plunger assembly apart, rinse it off, dry it, and put it back together in the span of a few minutes, before my coffee even has time to cool.

i'm surprised how well it turned out. damn near nailed it on my first try. i may need to coarsen up a bit based on the surface of the puck but the taste? it brought out more of the fruit in this coffee which i didn't think was possible with how choco forward it is on v60. i also used aeropress filters on the top and bottom. they're a little large but worked.

>>21520021
ah shit lol, i wrote it the wrong way:
i am looking for sugar free coffeine alternatives to coffee, since i dont like coffee and i dont wanna consume a ton of sugar every day via energy drinks

>>21520032
there's all sorts of tea you can try
i like earl grey and mate

>>21520032
caffeine pills
thats basically it
or i guess mix caffeine powder(this might be banned in your area and is generally dangerous to use as its extremely easy to take too much) into a tea or something else
or i think some "gamer fuel" products are sugar free/zero calorie and have caffeine in them

but pills are the cheapest and easiest
100mg roughly = 1 coffee
be careful though, you will often see pills that are 2-350mg each
also caffeine in this state is digested/absorbed into the body differently than coffee is so it might affect you differently.

>>21520057
i drink a lot of tea, correct me if i am wrong, tea works differently than coffeine

>>21520059
alright, thanks!

>>21520059
tea and coffee also have other compounds that synergistically affect your body / nervous system along with the caffeine

>>21520064
It's caffeine, not coffeine, and there's 50mg of it in a cup of black tea.

>>21519724
Put some water in it and give it a swirl, then stick the filter in the top and turn it upside down so the water runs through the filter and all the grounds sit in the top. Then just flick it into the bin.

made another super turbo but with a light roast and going with a 1:5 ratio... this thing is easy! much easier to get consistent cups!

what about yours?
yesterday i v60'd it at a medium-fine grind with a minute of bloom and three main pours, 1:16 ratio using 95c water, and it was just ok, kind of bland, pretty acidic but only a bit of sweetness

>>21520455
I expected the time to be around 5 minutes, based on my perceptions of almost a year of usage. I saw a guy use a drill on a similar grinder and he found that increasing the rotational speed much caused the beans to hop around, nullifying any potential time reduction. I haven't bothered with removing the handle because of that.

>>21521251
sure but 2 minutes of using a drill is faster than 1 minute of manually turning a handle

>>21521255
Do you have to attach the drill to a clock for that?

It's simply too hot for coffee except for on weekends.

Ok. No dunkin in my country. I'll get some from a coffee shop then.

I love cold brew. I've been making it with pre-ground supermarket coffee. Then I graduated to buying whole bean supermarket coffee and grinding it with a blender thing. So I guess the next step is to get some good coffee and a more expensive grinder...

DAMN JIMMY!

What grind size on the Ode would you use for a clever dripper? I'm thinking around 6.

>>21522864
seven

>>21522864
five

pour over anons, what water temp are you using for med roast? I’m realizing the top half of my cups is great and the bottom half tastes… off, and I’m thinking it might be a temperature thing

>>21522999
try stirring

>>21522999
2 pours = 95, 90
1 pour 93(either japanese style or just doing very slow steady spirals)
i used to do 3 pours but i found i didnt like the result, maybe its a skill issue idk
immersion(like a switch) i just start at 100 because its going to be sitting for a while and by the time the drawdown happens its going to be sub 90 anyway
also you have to change grind size depending on how many pours/agitation

want a coffee
know if i do it wont feel good
probably have to wait another few hours...

Before I posted that I did check the location listed on his Youtube channel, which says United States.

Let's talk budgets.

How much do you pay for your coffee at home monthly? Specifically looking for answers from people who aren't well off and can splurge on pricey stuff. If you can, also mention how many grams you use a day.

I've been exclusively buying beans and grinding them at home to use with my french press. I use ~30g everyday, I buy a 500g bag for ~$16 USD which lands me at roughly ~$32 USD monthly where I live.

Bonus round: am I overpaying or underpaying for this coffee?

pretty cheap, but they dont sound amazing either

goddammit i just spilled a coffee bag and it went everywhere.
do you still brew coffee that's been on the floor or do you chuck it out

>>21525272
a couple beans?
chuck em
a whole bag?
shamefully sweep it back into a jar and cry as i force myself to drink it for the rest of the week as punishment for being a clumsy bitch

>>21525215
Low alt, mexican beans, boring process. You get what you pay for. I wouldn't be splooging on pricey stuff for french pressing in any case.

>>21525248
Yes, the typo was mine, I meant roast. As for the quality, they taste pretty good to me but it could also be I don't have a reference for amazing coffees either. Last one I tried was a Black Honey coffee from Mecacalco, Veracruz @ 850m, Marsellesa variety. I actually liked that one better, but it was a bit outside my budget (a bag of 250g was running me ~$16 USD)

>>21525349
I thought low altitude was <1000m? Med alt being 1000-1200, high alt being 1200-1500, and very high alt being 1500+

What I'm understanding is that french pressing is way more forgiving towards mediocre beans due to it being an immersion technique, yes? What's the upper end of "nice" coffee you'd use on a french press before it's a waste of money?

>>21525215
>>>Price: ~$16 USD for 500g
that's really cheap
usually my beans are around 23usd for 200g for the good stuff

Density creates flavor. Elevation creates density. Also slows growth. Couple hundred meters is the difference between fruit and nuts. Anything below ~1800m is "low" with interesting microclimates and "terroir" influencing that. I've had some real cool stuff from Lake Atitlan, Guatamala where they get almost island like conditions with the precipitation and breeze carrying up the mountains. Lowest I drink on a regular basis is finca soledad(low 1500s), up in an Ecuadoran cloud forest with some fucked up biodiversity and a bunch of extra moisture to the plants through constant fog.

>>21525614
>Elevation creates density. Also slows growth
in the interest of pedantry id point out that the slowed growth is what creates the density
anyway this colombian pink bourbon came out pretty good today, v60'd again but with a long, cool bloom at 70c, 90c main pour, a slightly coarser grind, and a 1:15 ratio. three main pours again, low agitation. much better balance of acidity and sweetness for my taste, and a bit of florality, too.
hows your brew(s) going, anons?

>>21525656
can you slow growth outside of elevation?
can you grow coffee at sea level but in a pressurized environment to create a slower growth?
or something like that

>>21525215
Gifted pot
Water bill is like $50 including electricity and showers and dishes and clothes
Lidl light roast says Germany on it is like $7
Milk is like $10/mo
So ~$30/mo probably
I could drink this stuff black but it's so fucking hot

>>21525665
i believe its been shown that the primary reason elevation slows growth is the decreased temperature, which is why island coffee that gets lots of cooling ocean wind can create relatively dense coffee at lower elevations. air pressure and ambient oxygen probably does play a role however. anyway you would need a lower-pressure environment to mimic the atmospheric density of higher elevations, not a higher one. wouldnt really be practical but it would be an interesting experiment

I'm sure you've heard of cats making mud out of instant. That'll put some hair on your chest. Or some cats would blow FAT fuckin lines down. The drip actually isn't bad with instant. I've even been known to pack a lip of kuerig grinds to suck on for a few minutes.
As for the pot here, I've got some hot hands anon. They're made of rubber and pouring sucks. Always overfill the junt. Then you can get a brew for you and a brew for your old lady who doesn't like "strong coffee"

but theyre all the good kind of meme that helps you do things

>lately given up on life in general
>don't use moka pot anymore, find it too cumbersome
>just boil coffee grounds in a pot and used a strainer to filter it out
The problem is, the ground particles are too small for a strainer so the coffee in the end has a lot of particles which makes the "texture" chalky, if that makes sense. I don't mind drinking it really but I'm afraid if it's bad for my body since i imagine my kidneys must be suffering some damage to filter that shit out
Anyone knowledgeable about medicine here? How bad is this for me?

>>21529603
Just get an Aeropress, it's the easiest thing to clean. You just pop out the grounds and filter into the trash then rinse it off.

>>21529603
Buy filter bags

>>21529603
Boil the water first, then stir in the coffee. Don't boil coffee.
If you're having trouble with particles, let the coffee settle for at least 10 minutes before slowly pouring through the strainer into your cup. Leave the last bit of liquid in the pot as that will contain most of the sediment.

This is my primary form of coffee brewing and I never have a problem with excess particles. Cleaner cup than french press and unfiltered moka.

>>21529603
though i'm sure you'd be happy with the slow suicide of eating coffee grounds, your digestive system deals with them perfectly fine. kidneys are not involved

These libtards from WA make the best coffee I’ve ever had. I got their Costa Rica light roast from the local coffee shop here and the flavor separation is insane. I use a flat bottom pour over top and an ode gen2
https://makeworthcoffee.com/

>>21529603
I have pkd and my nephrologist said that coffee is good for your kidneys since it hydrates you just keep it to a couple cups a day because excessive caffeine will give you high blood pressure which is bad for the kidneys

Time for a week of campground V60 again!

my grandmother gave me some super market beans that she likes. honestly pretty decent for the price at around €20/kg. they just taste like average coffee without anything bad. not as good as specialty beans that cost four or fives times as much, but nobody would expect them to either. probably gonna be my go to for addtional cups after the first one

People shit on Peet's because the stuff you get in a store is older and doesn't have a roast date on the bag, but I ordered some from their website and it had a roast date and was roasted within a few days of ordering it.

>>21529956
Also it came in 1 lb bags instead of the 10 oz ones they sell in stores.

its still burnt commodity beans

Catered coffee from work today. It was weak as fuck. Awful.

>>21529603
Get a pour-over set and filters, and use a low temperature for your water like 85 degrees. A Hario pour-over like >>21526134 is modular, so you can also use them for other stuff in case you want to go back to moka pots. I used to make cowboy coffee too until I realized I get more quality per convenience if I just switched to a pour-over set.

dawg just drink more water...

>>21525719
I tried just using the bowl as my amount of grinds yesterday with no pack down, the pour was dark all the way through. I used like 4 scoops today and we'll see how it goes. I'm sure the science is if there's more airflow, your drink hits harder like a vape or some shit.
>>21528627
I keep the lid closed because the coffee shoots out of the top while I'm shit posting on /biz/ waiting for the brew. My temp control is the level of gas coming out of my stove. I use 4/10. It just works. Haven't tried boiling the water on 10 or 2 desu.
And for the water level, I always fill it up to the little vent nipple thing, any higher and water comes out of the top.
Hope you lads are perking up nicely today

coffee is by a strict definition a commodity but in this context it refers to shitty coffee
its essentially all coffee that scores lower than 80 by a Q tester certified by the SCA
>>21531704
bs

>>21531727
>its essentially all coffee that scores lower than 80 by a Q tester certified by the SCA
?

>>21531745
There isn't enough good coffee grown for large companies like peets and Starbucks to buy. That's all bulk bullshit.

>>21531757
So it's determined by a score from a Q tester except when it's a place you don't like then the score doesn't count

>>21531766
I'm not the guy you're originally arguing with. Let me put it in terms you'll identify with. You know how discount stores will have a $75 tag on a shirt then mark it down to $12? That's peets.

>>21531785
So is it determined by a score or not? I found a score by a certified Q tester, which is what you said is determinative of this matter.

>>21531793
>which is what you said
Again, not the guy who mentioned Q testing but ill give you a quick lesson. Peets employs a Q grader. Q grader tastes beans at roast and assigns them a grade. The good beans sell for much much more than
>Peet's ethiopia fancy
The best beans are sold the season before. The exceptional goes to auction.
Peets then buys the lower grades available, and roasts them significantly darker than they were presented at grading, burning the flavors out. They then label it 86 on their internal scale and retards like you drink it up.

>>21531816
I'm not using their internal ratings (I couldn't even find that). It's from an external review of various brands.
https://www.coffeereview.com/how-do-six-top-national-specialty-coffee-brands-stack-up/

>>21531821
Thats a cupping score. Not a Q grade. Very different things. Here's what that random ass blog had to say.
>both coffees maintain their basic origin integrity despite some smoky-woody notes that tend to push down category scores and make coffees a bit rougher-edged. The Sumatra is earth-toned and sweetly savory, and the Ethiopia is sweetly smoky with interesting notes of scorched Meyer lemon zest and mesquite, a spice-toned wood.
Stay away from coffees with smoky or woody notes. Anything with scorched fruits really.

>>21531838
>Thats a cupping score. Not a Q grade.
So how high does the cupping score have to be to qualify as "not shit" then?
>Stay away from coffees with smoky or woody notes. Anything with scorched fruits really.
Why...? I don't find that unpleasant at all.

>>21531842
No accounting for poor taste. Its a cherry seed, soaked in fruit sugars and acids. Why would you ever want to burn that out? I don't feel like educating you any further. You might try out Vivace.

>>21531891
I like dark roasts, which is completely normal, and I don't need to defend it any way. This attitude from "third wave" shit, about how you're only supposed to like certain things has always been repellent to me.

>>21531939
>This attitude from "third wave" shit, about how you're only supposed to like certain things
>Vivace roasts in the northern Italian tradition which David discovered in 1989 during his travels in Italy. This style when applied to mild-Arabica coffee results in the highest caramelized sugar content and varietal flavor development in the brewed coffee.
I recommended a roaster who does what you like,but to a higher caliber. Keep up the dark roast attitude though. Hope your bags are fresh and smoky.

so I've had a brewer for some time now and been coffeemaxxing since having a one year absence of not having a brewer
sure, I have been drinking less coke zero, since that was the only other thing I had to sip on consistently, but is it better? idk
getting more headaches due to coffee or caffeine od'ing
am I more alert and not having those insane crashes due to caffeinemaxxing consistently? idk I have had zero obligations and barely been awake this entire summer so I can't tell if caffeine is even mattering
I will evaluate for an entire year more, I might just quit coffee for good, or I will caffeinepillmaxx instead, although it tastes terrible and does not have the same placebo affect as drinking coffee associated with it, when you drink coffee you expect to be more alert from it ,as such you get more alert from it, you pop a caffeine pill and it does not have those same associations, as such you don't even know if you actually get more alert from it
I've never gotten headaches from synthetic caffeine or caffeine pills either, purely placebo or just that I did not dose them frequently enough or I just drink way more coffee? or is something with coffee that triggers headaches more than purely synthetic caffeine?

I don't even know if I like coffee anymore

why this schizophrenic ramble? in an effort to live minimally cutting out coffee and the dependence on it makes sense trying to optimize things

one more thing I have noticed in my own coffee behavior, literally before doing anything I do I demand a coffee before it, before going to the gym, need coffee for the boost, this just extends and draws out time and makes me procrastinate things, when it's literally placebo and doing the same thing fresh in the morning just going outside for a walk had the exact same awakening effect

I realize I am close to maxing out the post limit so thoughts an opinions on my schizoramble?
