Extraction over the Life of the Coffee Bean

I’ve been collecting data on my shots for almost 2 years. I wanted to look through that information to see if I could see any trends, particularly the age of a roast. The main caveats are:

1. My methods have improved over time.
2. My tastes have changed.
3. My tasting palate has expanded.

So I normalized the data to give a fairer comparison. I found taste and extraction improved over time up to 5 weeks post-roast. I did not find a taste drop off past three weeks, which is what is typically suggested by roasters. However, I don’t have too much data past 5 weeks because my roasts are usually around 1 lbs in weight and I drink too much espresso to have a roast hang around so long.

Roasting

I roast once a week using a Hottop roaster that I overfill to 350g. They say the max is 250g, but for a medium roast, you can go higher. I put the beans in when I start the machine instead of waiting for the drum to come to temperature. I’m aware that is not standard, and I’m okay with that. I have yet to do a side-by-side comparison of charge temperature, but I’m sure I will one day.

When I started collecting data, I was ending the roast at 1 minute past the First Crack (FC). Now, I’m at 1:30 past FC. I used to blend beans before the roast, and now I do it after the roast.

Spring Bean Life Cycle Explained [With Coding Example]

Bean is an object in an application. A bean is created, used, and finally destroyed when its purpose is over. These are the different stages of a spring life cycle. The entire spring bean life cycle is supervised by the Spring IoC (Inversion of Control) container. That is why these beans are called spring beans.

The Life Cycle of a Spring Bean

source

In a spring bean life cycle, first of all, a bean is instantiated. After instantiation, a bean goes through a sequence of steps before being ready to be used. When a bean is no longer required for any function, it is destroyed.

Spring bean life cycle can be controlled in the following ways

• Instantiation by using:
• InitializingBean callback interface.
• Custom init() method from the bean configuration file.
• Aware interfaces for distinct actions.
• PostConstruct and PreDestroy annotations.
• Destruction
• DisposableBean callback interface
• Custom destroy() method from the bean configuration file.

Losing Weight – Are You Choosing Proven Weight Loss Strategies?

If you have been trying to lose weight and if you have been in search of the right weight loss strategies, you would have already come across hundreds of methods and techniques.

How do you select the right weight loss strategy? Which one of these strategies is right and whom should you follow? You should know that all these strategies and methods that you come across have a grain of truth all of them have something to offer but the problem is when they claim that theirs is the only way to lose weight.

If you were to pay attention to your own weight gain pattern, you would understand that there is more than one factor at play.

Coffee beans supplier in dubai | Best Coffee roastery in UAE

Coffee is the seed of a fruit that grow on a tree in very specific regions of the world. These regions all fall inside what we call the coffee belt. The coffee belt is about 10 degrees north and 10 degrees south of the equator. This is where the microclimate is perfect for growing specialty grade coffee. This raises a new question, what is specialty coffee? You see, coffee and specialty coffee are two completely different things.

Specialty Coffee is coffee that scores 80 or more on a test. The test has 100 possible points. and a coffee that scores more than 80 will be considered specialty, and the test is conducted by a Q-grader. In the coffee industry, we call a coffee tasting a coffee cupping. Anyone can do a cupping and a Q grader is a certified coffee taster.

We recognise Q Graders as coffee cuppers qualified to:

Objectively assess coffee quality
Identify, quantify and articulate coffee characteristics
Detect coffee defects
Communicate coffee characteristics using common industry terminology
Q-graders will analyse the coffee’s physical aspects by checking for defects or insect damage. They will also analyse the coffee’s sensory aspects. Like flavour, body, acidity, mouthfeel, finish, uniformity. After this they will give the coffee a score our of a 100, determining whether it is speciality coffee or not.

A common misconception is that the equipment makes speciality coffee. This is not true. Some equipment does perform better than others. But speciality coffee is the quality of the beans (how it was produced and roasted). Then the skill level of the barista. Then lastly the equipment. Imagine you have a commercial grade coffee, a very talented barista and a high end espresso machine. There is nothing the barista or the machine can do to make the coffee taste amazing.

Now imagine that you have great coffee, an unskilled barista, and a great machine. Now you will see that the barista will make great coffee only a very small percentage of the time. This is due to a lack of skills.

But if you have a terrible machine, a great barista, and great coffee? Now you will see your barista still being able to make good coffee more often than not. This is because a skilled barista will able to manipulate different beans and machines to get the best results.

I’m not saying don’t get good equipment, because good equipment makes life easier as a barista. I’m saying, focus on training and barista education. But most importantly, get yourself a great quality speciality coffee supplier.

Spring Bean Scopes: Singleton & Prototype Scopes [2021] |

Spring framework is one of the best open-source frameworks for the top-rated programming platform Java and provides massive infrastructure support for easily and quickly developing applications. It was written by Rod Johnson and was first released under the Apache 2.0 license in June 2003.

Application of Spring framework includes its benefits of modular framework, Integration with existing frameworks, testability on fake or development data, well-designed web MVC framework, Central exception handling, Unbelievably lightweight, and onboard transaction management.

For any object-oriented programming language, one needs to design objects that form your application development’s backbone, and spring manages it using the spring IOC container called beans. A bean is an object managed entirely by the IOC container provided by spring.

The definition of the bean contains three essential factors which come under configuration metadata and includes:

1. How to create a bean.
2. The details of the bean’s life cycle.
3. All the dependencies.

Scopes can be declared while defining a bean and is usually set using scope attribute to one of the five types possible. These five types of scope attribute include the following types:

1. Singleton: The scope is used to define the scope definition to a single instance every Spring IOC container. This is the default definition of any scope.
2. Prototype: In some cases, if you want to produce a new bean instance every time needed, it is better to declare the bean’s scope attribute as a prototype.
3. Request: If you are working on a web-aware spring application, the request scopes the bean definition to an HTTP request.
4. Session: If you are working on a web-aware spring application context, the session scopes the bean definition to an HTTP session.
5. Global Session: Global Session scopes a bean definition to a global HTTP session and is only proven in a web-aware Spring Application.
