Coffee for a n00b

Ya gotta get the encapsulated ones. And not have reflux. That helps as well. Fishy burps are indeed gross.I dunno... I've tried fish oil before and couldn't even tolerate the burps that resulted.
Speaking of gross, my day's coffee indeed has a bit of a fishy twinge to it. It's still drinkable but gives me slight pause. I think I'll separate my coffee and EPA/DHA fatty acid pursuits in the future.
You think??
Gotta try things for myself, ya know.You think??
At the very bottom of my flask was a little thing that looked like a soft splinter, maybe 8 x 2 mm? I think it was congealed fish oils, or maybe the remnants of the capsule?
It was somewhat gag inducing when I swallowed those last coffee dregs. But it's now all in my belly.
(Whether small amounts of fats such as the MCT and fish oils today impede ketosis on fasting days is a separate question. I have a breath acetone meter inbound that I can use to test this in the future, but for now I'm not worrying about it.)

I took a week off from coffee before my official labwork drawn today (as coffee can cause spurious elevations in triglyceride levels per report).
I returned to coffee this afternoon, post-labs. And I am drinking it straight up, legit black, no less!
(This is because I ate a meal of a given fat content beforehand and am doing an oral triglyceride tolerance test. Having fats during the post-meal period would taint my data.)

Gonna recommend the Baratza for a value choice. Good grind control, and one of the best parts - you can get replacement parts for cheap straight from the mfg'r should you need to repair it.
that's one of the brands i was looking at, which model do you have?
It's basically the older model of this one:
Jon, go for the Baratza Sette 270wi. It weighs the grinds.
the 270wi is one of the models i was looking at, but in reading some of the user reviews one of the most common complaints is that the weights are off, which sounds like just a calibration issue and should be fixable on a unit at this price point.
If I was that much of a fucking nerd, I'd go for one of these and a non-complicated grinder like I have.
yea but that's extra steps in the process. i'm i'm gonna weigh check the fill, i want that shit automated.
Please tell me you aren't gonna weigh it. Please?
the prior model of the 270 doesn't have the weight feature and is $150 cheaper....Please tell me you aren't gonna weigh it. Please?
18.000 g only!Please tell me you aren't gonna weigh it. Please?

I actually am super lax about how much grounds I put in my French press. Seems to taste similar enough either way.I can just envision @Toshi with a tiny serrated knife, cutting a coffee bean into thirds.
Right - thread is for coffee n00Bs, not coffee connoisseurs.I actually am super lax about how much grounds I put in my French press. Seems to taste similar enough either way.
