Hey fair enough! I have kneaded for 5 mins and felt like I had a similar experience. I think I generally opt for longer more so due to piece of mind knowing I got everything out of it. I make mine fairly strong which I’m fine with but don’t really do a second wash due to too much liquid. For how...

Sure you can but it can be a bit of effort for sure especially with larger quantities. I do enough physical labor at work as is, last thing I want to do is even more after getting home. I use fairly large quantities and find for myself anyways that I have to be quite a bit more aggressive with...

So after using the device over a period of time I have been pleased with it but whether it’s worth it or not would be subjective to the individual. I feel like I have to use a bit more water than normal but that kind of comes with the territory of something like this. I don’t feel like this...

Well I do like this product, again being the one gallon motorized version. It’s definitely something that I’ll be using regularly. Only thing I have concern for is outside of the bags missing, there is an odd electronic smell from the device even without a load or use. I fix equipment for a...

Pretty much just the same as usual with a bag and rinsing out the bucket. Seems to work pretty good and I imagine would function better with the pro bag that was supposed to be included. Believe the idea is the machine twists the strainer bag tight enough to function similarly to hand kneading...

The one I got was the gallon motorized one as well to be exact.

Honestly I don’t think cleanup is gonna be bad at all. Just received the item today and trying it literally right now… unfortunately mine didn’t include the two strainer bags it was supposed to. Have one of the bags still but has a hole in it. Ended up just tying a bag up and throwing it in...

Well I recently purchased the magic kava bucket. It was supposed to arrive today but didn’t, supposedly going to be arriving tomorrow. I’ll post my thoughts after using a few times. Not sure how they could be far superior within normal amounts for a few. If making large quantities then I’m sure...

In my experience the mixture of the two do not compliment each other very well and generally makes me feel sick. I’m not too concerned with having the other later in the day when the body has already processed the first. It’s like drinking some alcohol and taking some Tylenol because you have a...

Awesome, recently got a couple pounds of chiefs choice within the last week. Can’t believe I waited as long as I did to give them a try. Potent kava with an incredibly fine grind. Can’t recommend them enough, welcome @Kava Vinaka!

I can enjoy just about anything but tend to prefer the stronger varieties. I’ve never been disappointed with Nambawan from Bula Kava house or Savusavu from Kava time. They are both fairly potent if that’s specifically what you are after.

I’ve always accounted a few things that I believe cause, “reverse tolerance.” Improper preparation early on resulting in a poor drink. Not being able to stomach the taste long enough to drink an adequate amount. Also not noticing the subtle effects that many tend to notice over extended use...

Definitely agree with @SelfBiasResistor about the difference between instant and micro. Instant is SUPPOSED to essentially be grog made with the water evaporated resulting in the potent powder left over. Micronized is basically kava that is ground extremely fine instead of just a medium grind...

I thought you stopped buying wakacon Kava, not sure why though. I stopped buying their Kava once they increased the price. It was always decent enough just didn’t think it was worth the asking price in comparison to what other vendors have available at similar prices. Has it changed much?

Just to clarify, my post was assuming the frozen Kava was in fact used makas.

I couldn’t see how Kava would be effected any differently than any other sort of food in a frozen state. Food is generally believed to last indefinitely in a frozen state but obviously will exhibit, “freezer burn,” symptoms. As long as the Kava was stored relatively quickly after use I’d say the...

Yea every time I feel like I have it bad you just have to look at things around you to put things in perspective. Been dealing with a puppy we recently got, I really have it bad... not lol. Just not getting as much sleep as I’d like and been stressed at work. It’s a bit mentally fatiguing trying...

Sounds like you are using plenty of root. If strength is what you are after you may look to cutting your water amount down to 4 cups. More water makes the grog more diluted which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just depends on what you want. You are most likely able to drink your micro much...

When I initially started drinking Kava I had a problem holding it down. Never actually puked though. My issues were mostly due to the taste more than anything which went away with time. I now like the taste of most kavas. As far as the throat thing I don’t know that I can relate to that. Have...

Id also add that many look for the instant kavas and micronised Kava for ease of use. Personally for me and I’d assume many others ultimately veer towards traditional prep with medium grind for the best bang for buck. The preparation can be a tad bit annoying at first but you will figure it out...
