Arabica Puns

Durante la settimana, a casa la mattina, non sempre bevo il caffè , solo quando ho tempo, durante il weekend invece lo faccio la mattina e dopo pranzo: pochi rispetto alle abitudini di tanti ma vorrei fossero il più decenti possibili visto che cerco di gustarmeli.

Ho una moka Bialetti da 2 tazze, la preferisco rispetto alle capsule principalmente per impatto ambientale oltre che per costi, e, standardizzato il "metodo" e la manutenzione (anche grazie ad alcuni post di Reddit dove veniva citato Bressanini), mi sto soffermando maggiormente sulla materia prima.
Ho abbandonato quasi subito lo zucchero nel caffè per provare ad apprezzare maggiormente il sapore di quest'ultimo, sono passato all'arabica, per ora già macinata, e non penso di tornare alla robusta.

Provo a cambiare caffè.

Acquistando di solito alla Coop ho provato, sfruttando le offerte, due 100% arabica: Fior Fiore Brasile e Solidal Biologico Nicaragua; ho percepito la differenza, in meglio, rispetto ai classici Lavazza, Kimbo & co. ma non so se si possono definire propriamente dei monorigine (sicuramente si utilizza questa denominazione per uno specifico produttore, non so se può valere anche per un'area più allargata).

Il primo dubbio è legato al fatto che per un 100% arabica, non monorigine, qualitativamente ci sia tanta differenza tra acquistare da un marchio GDO rispetto che da una torrefazione locale.

L'altro dubbio è, in particolare puntando alla monorigine ma non necessariamente, se può valer la pena, anche per scarse quantità, di prendere un macinino, manuale o elettronico, per i grani, per i quali c'è più disponibilità/varietà rispetto a macinati per moka "di pregio".

La faccio troppo complicata per un semplice caffè fatto con la moka o per qualcuno di voi ha senso?

Quali sono le vostre esperienze a riguardo?

Grazie a tutti

Is there something in caffeine powder, or more specifically in coffea arabica extract that makes it hit different than the caffeine pills?

I was taking Alani Nu pre-workout 1 scoop, twice a day, and felt great. It contains:

• 200mg caffeine from coffea arabica extract + 200mg l-theanine
• 2:1 citrulline malate 6g
• beta-alanine 1.6g
• l-tyrosine 500mg

I tried subing 200mg l-theanine + caffeine pills instead:

• Muscletech 200mg anhydrous - Very little effect at all
• Nutricost 200mg anhydroud - Weird sick feeling and crash, little effect
• Jetalert 200mg - Closer feeling to the pre-workout effect, but not quite the same.
• (I have vivarin and walmart brand too but I haven't tried yet)

Are these just not as good, or is the formulation of the powder / extract affecting it?

Looking to get closer to the Alani Nu without spending 40 dollars. Any advice?

as title said, what's the difference between those two builds?

so when I first tried BS5, I was offered nxt 5.0.100.1002 from this page, today I noticed there's an update so I manually downloaded again from the same page hoping to get the latest version which should be 5.0.100.2103 (?), but instead I got arabica 5.0.0.7230, why is that? and what's the difference between those two build? thx in advance.

Pertama dari parkiran, 2/5.

Layout dan signage parkiran Ashta super membingungkan. Dari pintu masuk senopati aja udah aneh. Kalau masuk dari senopati dan mau ke parkiran, antrian/lanenya bareng sama lane keluar mall. Alhasil mobil yang baru mau parkir dan mau keluar jadi kecampur. Lalu setelah masuk basement, enggak ada signage yang menandakan gk boleh parkir di LG, semua parkiran dikasih cone, tapi gk ada arahan untuk parkir di B1 dan B2. Layout parkirannya sendiri juga bingungin, entrance ke mall cuma 1, tapi signagenya bisa nunjukin entrancenya ada di depan, kiri dan kanan. Gak ada tanda2 zona parkir, ataupun informasi berapa slot kosong per lantai. Balik ke entrance mall, dari B1 dan B2 cuma ada 1 entrance lewat 2 lift, kalau disaat wiken spertinya akan jd bottleneck. Untuk exit parkiran pun bisa terjadi bottleneck seperti yang umum kejadian di parkiran basement sency/CP karena exit dari basement so far yang gw temuin cuma ada satu.

First impression, 4/5.

Desain mallnya memang unik, terutama kalau diliat dari lt 1, 2 dan lantai cinema flix. Ambiancenya kerasa luas dan spacious, tapi menurut gw foodcourt di lantai 2 itu out of place, enggak cocok sama lingkungan sekitarnya. Meanwhile, groundfloor terasa sumpek karena rame dan spacenya keambil untuk antrian baker man + arabica. Overall mallnya enak buat dipandang sekilas, tapi kalau diperhatiin lebih detail, sama aja kayak senci/GI.

Tenants, 3/5.

Dengan tenants yang ada sekarang, gw rada bingung sama target segment utama dari ashta. Tenantsnya enggak se exclusive dan high class kayak plasa senayan, tapi tetiba ada dealer maserati sendiri. Buat restorannya pun sekarang opsinya belum terlalu banyak. Hampir semua restoran menggunakan space dan ambiance ashta sebagai unique value proposition mereka. Meanwhile buat tempat ngopi ada 3 tempat yamg berbeda, bukanagara ngebawa ambiance dan vibe garden+balcony. Common grounds yang terkesan exclusive, desainnya beda dengan desain CG di tempat lain, dan terakhir % arabica, akan gw review indepth di bagian terpisah.

Overall, Ashta itu mall yang unik, tapi untuk saat ini sama aja dengan mall-mall lainnya di Jakarta, 1-1nya keunikan mall ini adalah arsitekturnya yang lebih luas dan lega. Namun secara tenant, menurut gw pilihannya rada berantakan atau bahkan lackluster.

Review lanjutan untuk % Arabica branch Ashta.

TL;DR, espressonya oke, milk-basednya k

I always find it quite surprising that there are hundreds, or thousands, of varieties of grapes in wine making, and yet just two main ones of coffee. I read there exist other less famous ones though, like Liberica, but I never came across them. I’m curious what other varieties people here have tried and what they thought of them.
