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

@[email protected] 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

@[email protected] 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

@[email protected] @[email protected] 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

@[email protected] isn’t 320ml a little too much? Didn’t it came out too watered?

@[email protected] it’s not like the reality is less disturbing tho 🫠

@[email protected] well that’s impressive! Coincidentally I just ordered Hoffmann’s book so I guess it’s convenient pairing

@[email protected] 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.

@[email protected] If I stick to the Porlex the tall could be my next step. The Mini is handy until you need to brew two cups or a liter of cold brew 🙃

@[email protected] 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
