I’ve always used the pink-packet filter papers for the V60. Ordered a new batch of the green packet as it was the only one they had and it looks to be the same. There must be some difference though as I find the green packet ones drain much faster, and I’m sure the coffee doesn’t taste quite as good (though this may be psychological, haven’t done a back to back test). Bit annoying.
Agreed. I’m looking forward to hand grinding my little porlex that I aquired from Adam many moons ago.
Hopefully no rigmarole of dialling the fucker back in.
I think Hoffman did a bleached v unbleached test and preferred the bleached.
I bought a bulk purchase thing of 10packs x 100 filters worked out at quite a saving
Ah, didn’t realise that was the difference - pink packet is bleached - so my impression is that I’d agree with Hoffman (I probably got pink originally because of his or others’ recommendation).
It’s annoying - I almost want to just buy a new packet of pink but throwing out 90-odd papers seems such a waste.
Yeah I quite like anaerobics they are generally pretty wild
I’ve almost finished my current beans so will try this next…

Well it took a week to arrive but I’ve just received it.
Wow that’s interesting - the banana is very strong.
I think this is the first anaerobic coffee I’ve had - can definitely see what you mean. I’m not sure I love this one, the banana is a bit too strong (and I like bananas generally, but it feels weird in a coffee) but it’s certainly interesting and I’m just glad that for once I can actually taste what it says on the notes
I think I’d happily keep this as a side coffee - I wouldn’t want it all the time - but it’s nice for something different and I’d try other anaerobics in future. I don’t drink that much coffee though so can’t justify that (the beans would start to go off if I ran two packets concurrently) and I’ll make my way through this, but in theory.

That’s interesting… I got another delivery of this yesterday (roast date 04/07/24) and it’s unlike the roasts I’ve had in the past. It’s definitely not the “fruit bomb” I’m used to? I’d be interested to know what particular roast you got @josh. . … 
I’ve got the same roast date. It’s showing right near the light end of the scale on the front of the packet, if that’s what I need to look at?
It definitely seems fruity to me.
I guess I haven’t logged on here for longer than I realised. I could have helped you out, being in Edinburgh myself. It’s been so long we do actually have an Origin branch here now!

There is a coop thing near me that grows mushrooms on coffee waste (and other suitable waste streams that would otherwise go to landfill). Had some very nice oyster mushrooms grown by them at lunchtime
