i like 1 tablespoon per cup of water
brewed till it makes my hair curl.
For my Guatemalan I like 18 grams per 6oz water at 198 degrees steeped for 2 minutes and 40 sec in an areopress with a stainless fine mesh filter.

But obviously it has to be CoffeeSnobs Coffee. So that eliminates one variable.
what grind? what roast? for how long? steeped for 3 minutes or 10? filtered or un filtered
done the old fashioned way or brewed using alien technology.
table sugar or honey?
milk? cream? half/half? condensed milk? or non dairy creamer
liquid or powered.
what cup.... porcelain or ceramic maybe even stainless steel?
boiling hot or ice cold?
bitter and black or weak and bitter?

Those of you who run Red Armor it appears that the formula has changed. There is no longer any Ester in it according to the SDS. The first screenshot is the new SDS. The second is the old one from last year that showed Ester in the blend.Screenshot_2017-02-08-19-54-13.png Screenshot_2017-02-08-20-16-38.png

Yep that looks about right for a 90cc + saw running 50:1 a work saw actually getting worked that is. It would have to be tuned so fat constant 4 stroking under load running cold as and doing bugger all work for it not to look like this in a 90cc + saw running 50:1 this is the normal result but of course the common reply tuned lean must have air leaks crank seal gone on pto side blah blah etc is never the lack of oil in the mix for the actual work a saw is doing no matter the cc.
You can imagine how fast this happens over here in the middle of summer in 40°C/105°F heat.
I don't get the oil is bad way of thinking now days if a saw tunes nice burns clean runs cooler under load has more power last years and years with no failures with more oil in the mix how is that a bad thing? lol.. And I like the good old an air leak is instant death for a saw line truth is that would be no its not if you actually have oil in the mix the guys that have had a known air leak and kept running the saw know what I'm talking about but they sure ain't running 50:1 lol

Thought I'd add the more oil in the mix = carbon build up in the exhaust port and on top of the piston crown and it will break off and score the piston and/or bore so more oil is bad blah blah myth line.
The reality of this is carbon build up is thanks to way off tune nothing more! you can tune a saw to clean burn at any oil mix ratio thats fact (shock horror).
If someone has (I doubt anyone here has had the carbon problems) carbon build up it just means they cant tune a saw for crap! most I think get a saw in to fix and it has had carbon problems and say see to much oil and forget it has to do with tune not mix ratio.
Lets not forget the 40 year old McCulloch chainsaws and the guys that say see too much oil look at the carbon in the exhaust port and say see oil = bad! no kidding hey it's only been running for 40 or so bloody years most of that on 30w engine oil these things can happen after a generation or two lol.
So many myths and old wives tales not to mention guessing games when it comes to oil in chainsaws.
I must say very well written , sums it up really well
