| I use a cheap burr grinder (£50) and an Aeropress (£25). As a complete setup only £75, easy to look after and clean and with fresh, decent beans it'll stand up to anything. Costs about 30p per cup. Don't roast my own but know a roaster so I get my beans within a few days of roasting most of the time. I've been a high-end hifi salesman and a barista and the two industries are surprisingly similar. A lot of superstitious nonsense, expense and tweakery for no results (in a blind test)... Important things are (in order): 1) BEANS - fresh, good beans. Anything else and it will taste bad whatever equipment you use. 2) WATER - if your water tastes of chlorine, so will your coffee. You also should control proportions water/coffee 3) GRIND - how fine and the amount. This should be tweaked depending on the beans, brewing method and environment. 4) TEMPERATURE - controversial one, but 90 degrees works pretty well. Not boiling. 5) METHOD - different methods have different characteristics, but it's about personal preference, not "good" or "bad". I like pourover, siphon, and Aeropress better than cafetière or mocha pot for e.g. ...And I'd imagine none of you care.  | |||

| Rule of thumb: whatever the lift, Z has done a double in training (no video) at at least 95% of the current WR, possibly more. Other than log, he's never maxed in a comp (oh, apart from WSM 2013, but that doesn't count). I, for one, believe him. Still funny though. | |||

| I did this with a dodgy extension lead here in China. Crazy shaking, and kind of got stuck to the lead for I don't know how long, probably just a few seconds. Managed to yank myself free and had two burns on my hands afterwards. Weird buzzy feeling for an hour or so after. | |||

Evis said: I assume you are talking about the depth. I honestly dont think it was that bad this time. Angle could not be worse in terms of making them look high but they definitely are lower than a lot of his earlier vids. 340x5. Should be good for 400+ then I guess. Yeah, was talking about depth! To me, they look (almost?) WSM deep but a long way off IPF deep. Which makes perfect sense, I suppose, as he's a strongman! Can't wait to see how he does at next years WSM, and hopefully Arnolds. It would also be great if he trained for a powerlifing meet at some point, too. He's got to be good for over 1050kg (380/260/420?) without wraps...?! Which would be a world record total, I think. | |||
