As for the decaf Ethiopian, that one needs to stay on the lighter side. It's not objectionable going into medium or dark roasts, but it's less interesting there.

The new Mexican coffee is also nice across a very wide range of roasts. Sweet, well balanced. One of those where if you've got a preferred roast level you can probably just take your best guess and get something you'll enjoy.

As the coffee cools I think it holds up best right around 2nd crack, either a little lighter, at, or just a little darker depending on what you're looking to get out of the coffee.

Time to taste coffees that arrived yesterday. First up is a new coffee from Sumatra. It's not the mark that I normally get, but one of my other suppliers got a bunch of potentially nice ones in and I picked one since I don't want to be out of it. On the first sip I didn't care for the lightest roast on the table but it's pretty good across the range from a little before 2nd crack out through almost a French Roast, so rather forgiving and easy to recommend to the home roasting set.

Got the email letting me know that my coffee was out for delivery about 2 hours after it was delivered.

Busy day at the shop so very little coding, but what there has been has been mathy stuff trying to improve measurement stability with dodgy hardware that I told the vendor was not actually fit for purpose.

Told an insurance company that their automated email was not helpful and explained in the survey how to fix that. I don't expect they will, but there's a clear, concise, and easy to implement idea if a human ever reads that.

Minor QOL feature work worked on the first try.

Fixed several bugs.

@stux Just need to find a dictionary that doesn't include the word to falsify this.

Grocery bill was higher than I'd like but my checker was the best I've had in some time.

Intentionally destroyed a low security lock because if my staff really wanted to steal liquid soap there are easier ways for them to do that than getting it from the wall mounted dispensers (plus they'd need to know where the "key" is anyway so it's not like this would have been doing anything except making refilling the dispenser harder).

@mhoye I've heard that one measurement per second is "big data." It's not. (I don't think they appreciated hearing from me that I had previously done a usability study on exactly what they were talking about, that their users would be happier with a few times more data than they were collecting, and the size of the data would still be tiny.)

Cooking instructions on the bag of frozen gyoza clearly indicated that 12 should be cooked at a time regardless of cooking method so of course the bag contained 32.

Making good progress on the coding front today. Always hand crafted, never AI slop.

Bought more coffee.

Big under the porch cat was hanging out in the back yard this morning.

Today I changed how to remove green coffee items from a new batch to make that more obvious and easier to do. Might change the visual styling later, but for today I just wanted to make the new thing work at all.

@yomimono It took until the end to realize this wasn't about printers.
