  • I’ve had some mango-infused beans that were quite interesting, from a small roaster in Hungary. I don’t like acidity at all, so getting any fruity notes in a coffee that’s not tainted by acid is a rare find for me, so I liked it quite a bit. On the other hand I don’t really see the difference of adding (microdosing, really) flavorings to the coffee after brewing if I just want a hint of something else.

    Been experimenting around a bit, and what really does it for me is to use a cinnamon stick to stir a freshly brewed espresso for a a few seconds. Can be reused for weeks. Adds a very subtle, mellow flavor that I quite enjoy.


  • If it’s anything like Kopi Bubuk from Indonesia (fine as literal flour), then it’s meant to be brewed in the cup. Simply put a heaped tablespoon into a mug, fill with boiling water, stir it for a second, let rest for a bit, stir it again, let rest until all grounds sink to the bottom, and then drink it carefully. You’ll still drink some grounds, but they are so fine it hardly matters.

    Indonesians drink this type of coffee with a bucket of sugar and often condensed milk, but that’s optional. I enjoy it pure, and keep buying it whenever I’m in Indo, as it’s hard to find elsewhere in the world.




  • Every instance is hosting the API for their own users, and unfortunately lemmy.world has plenty of outages recently.

    The way Lemmy works is that when you have an account with lemmy.world and subscribe to a community hosted on lemm.ee (for example), the lemm.ee server copies the content over to lemmy.world, and you see it all “locally”. Hence a lemmy.world server outage reflects what you see with your lemmy.world account. Local communities will always be shown “as local” of course, so a server outage then means it’s completely offline for the time being.

    A quick fix would be to sign up with a smaller instance and subscribe to the communities from there (including the ones on lemmy.world), in that case even if lemmy.world is offline, you would be able to see and interact with their cached copies on the target instance. I’ve made an account with infosec.pub for that purpose.
