Test - Coffee Data

BF got at Total Wine 🙂

Cherry, vanilla, leather. $17 bottle, pretty easily worth it. More tannic than a typical pinot, slightly above medium body.

0 – Platonic ideal of coffee misery.
1.0 – Drain pour, probably burnt, something very wrong.
2.0 – Bad, but drinkable.
2.5 – Low quality, either low-end beans or roasted poorly.
3.0 – Pleasant, not exciting. Good diner coffee or ordinary single-origin.
3.5 – Good coffee, would be happy to get it anywhere.
4.0 – Very good, would buy again.
4.5 – Excellent coffee, stands out against competitors.
5.0 – Perfect and strikingly unique.

The scale: 0-5, 0.25 increments

0 = the absolute worst on the planet
1 = bad, something wrong
2 = mediocre
3 = aiite
4 = pretty good
5 = the absolute best thing ever

I may expand on this later…

We’ve enjoyed many a brew from this Ninja, but have really stopped using it since we got our Chemex 6-cup Classic Pour-over gung. The brews are just flat-out BETTER in all ways except convenience from the Chemex pour-over coffeemaker. Anyway, this post wasn’t written to shit on the Ninja. I just wanted a convenient place to reference the approximate brew volumes in grams for each of the Ninja’s settings.

I haven’t measured the actual amounts and don’t know if there’s a listed approximate brew volume for the carafe and 1/2 carafe setting… Maybe I’ll update this post later with that information (empirically determined) if I get that bored later… 🙂

And appreciate how kickass the art is on Brandywine’s coffee??? -ST
