Filter kopi kain

Singkat cerita, filter kopi dari bahan kain adalah filter kopi favorit saya saat ini.

Dulu ketika saya baru mulai hobi kopi, saya pernah nonton video dari James Hoffmann mengenai filter kopi kain.

Tapi waktu itu saya merasa belum cukup pede bisa berkomitmen menggunakan filter kain. Jadi selama ini, saya masih pakai filter kertas kalau bikin kopi. Barangnya mudah didapat, mudah digunakan, bersih-bersih jadi lebih mudah (tinggal dibuang saja bersama ampas kopi), dan hasil seduhan kopinya enak.

Jakarta Coffee Week 2024

Jakarta Coffee Week (Jacoweek) kembali hadir di tahun 2024 ini di Indonesia Convention Exhibition, Bumi Serpong Damai, pada tanggal 1-3 November 2024. Ini adalah tahun kedua saya mengunjungi pameran kopi ini.

Secara keseluruhan, Jacoweek 2024 ini tetap seru. Sepertinya tahun ini Jacoweek semakin banyak dihadiri oleh tokoh kopi internasional; dan semakin banyak juga brand peralatan kopi yang menjual produk mereka di acara ini. Namun di sisi lain, beberapa tenant ada yang sudah tidak menawarkan sample brew kopi lagi. Trunk Coffee contohnya, ketika saya mengunjungi booth mereka tahun ini, mereka hanya menawarkan untuk mencium hasil grind biji kopi yang mereka jual.

Not too long after I got my hands on a Fujifilm X100VI camera, I bought a Tiffen Glimmerglass 1 for it; and it has stayed installed pretty much all the time.

Recently I was made aware of a new filter/lens hood combo from Freewell. The filter is a CPL and mist filter combined into one.

A very compelling combo.

In this post I simply want to share some comparison photos taken with the two filters.

65:24 aspect ratio.

I’ve been fascinated by the 65:24 aspect ratio for quite some time.

Photographer Jonas Rask has written a series of blog posts about his experience using Fujifilm TX-1, a film camera that shoots in 65:24 ratio. Basically using 2 frames of 35mm film format at once for each photos.

The photos from the blog posts are very unique and beautiful in my opinion. Here are some examples from his blog:

Cuaca ketika siang hari bisa terasa sangat panas beberapa hari terakhir ini; karena itu saya mulai suka membuat es kopi lagi agar lebih segar ketika sedang gerah.

How to fix “Publishing failed. Could not update post in the database” WordPress error.

I was recently writing the 2024 World Brewers Cup Championship blog post when I first encountered “Publishing failed. Could not update post in the database” error when I tried to publish it.

I tried to look for solutions and the internet offered some possible fixes. For example, fixing REST API issues, etc. Apparently I had none of those issues.

After some frustrating troubleshooting, I found out that the root cause of my particular case was…
