  • I’ve used it on decaf medium roast, Kona, and my current Kona blend and it works great, but I needed to adjust the amount of coffee as it can brew pretty strong for my tastes. I go between 14g and 12g of coffee and use a grind size equal to that I use on the V60, which is 26/27 on my Encore ESP.

    I use water that’s 175 F, which is close enough. I also put in more water… I have the plunger pulled all the way below the number 4 and pour water all the way to just before the top to leave a small space to stir without making a mess. I think it’s like 225 or so ml. I use a chopstick to stir.

    I also see a few other second places ones that are only a few steps. For me the aeropress recipe needs to be like 4 steps and take under a minute.


  • I use the winning recipe from the world championship, from the second one (2009). You like brew the coffee for 15 seconds and then done. I only use 14g max, but it’s basically instant coffee that tastes like great coffee.

    Ahh I found it:

    Coffee: 19.5–20g Grind: Slightly coarser than filter grind Water: 200ml @ 75°C Brewer: Inverted Filter: Paper, soaked

    Directions:

    1. Stir 4 times
    2. Stop stirring, secure the filter and turn at around 10 seconds (total contact time around 15 sec.)
    3. Press and serve




  • I’m hosting on a Synology, but not transcoding.

    It’s likely more affordable to host a second jellyfin server on a desktop that is used for transcoding vs getting a NAS with the hardware.

    As also mentioned you may not need to transcode unless you want to down mix to reduce bandwidth when not home. For those cases I would recommend you use handbrake and have multiple versions of the content at different resolutions/codecs as needed. Yeah it’s work.

    The majority of issue I have when running locally is audio codec compatibility. So I use ffmpeg to reencode and remux my mkvs with the new audio stream. (Typically eAC3)
