I can't afford nice art supplies. I see people constantly using those expensive Copic markers and expensive colored pencils and making beautiful things, and it makes me feel inadequate. When I see you make art with ANYTHING and EVERYTHING and it turns out so stunning and breathtaking, it makes me feel better and gives me a motive to take these crappy ass shitmarkers and pencils and make something out of nothing like Peter does. You made an art piece out of NOODLES dammit. One of the best things an artist can do is inspire others with his art and passion. Thanks, Peter.
Oh look at this guy discovering a cool channel, wow amazing accomplishment, do you want a cookie or a trophy???? 🤣🤣🤣I'm 100% kidding? Plz dont b mad. That's one of the reasons I love Peter and his channel so much. No fighting. Just awesome art and awesomer commentary 😊💗
As an actual real life barista, this has been a very interesting podcast. My fav customers are usually ones like you who life simple coffee. Much easier and more pleasant to talk to than snobs. I love the coffee shop vibe too and usually spend time at the ones near me working on art...If you don't do this already, use cold water to start with, and see if that makes a difference... such is my Professional Recommendation 😁
Slathering markers and coffee about. A satisfying investment of time. Thank you, Peter. I think I'll ignite my car and head to my favorite coffee shop now.
Hi Peter! My name is Max, I'm a barista at a local coffee shop, your concern about bitter coffee is a very very easy fix. You're using too many grounds for the ratio of water. It should be 2 tablespoons for 6 ounces of water. Too much coffee will make it bitter, and too little it will be watery and have a lot of impurities. If you drink plain black coffee, the proper way to drink it is by "slurping" it, this aerates the coffee and spreads it smoothly on the tastebuds. This way you taste the real flavor of the coffee, many coffees taste like cherry, nuts, cocoa, etc. The more kinds of coffee you try the more you'll be able to taste different flavors. I know, I know "max its JUST COFFEE" its actually surprising how many flavors you can pick out if drinking it correctly and with a bit of patience. Hopefully you see this and happy coffee sipping! -Maxim
obiiiqeb who's to say you have to watch? pitch black, with phone screen turned towards the bed, so no light emits from it. pure darkness. just listening to Peter speak. some people find that relaxing, like how some people fall asleep to the incoherent rattle of the television in the background. :)
Kerese Chetty I'm on here currently to sleep cuss my brain and I are not on the same page. head phones is key. but I keep finding my self giggling about how peacefull his life is. but at the same time so ridiculously calming. Lol k night.
Great podcast. I laughed, I cried, I drank coffee, brushed my teeth, and I day dreamed of penguins sharing a coke with a polar bear under the auroras. Thank you kind sir.
I kind of can't believe how much I love a podcast that's about a coffee maker and bitter coffee for the first half. I love how you speak and describe things, you make everything sound so vivid and interesting. It's awesome for when I want to focus on something that's not heavy or sad. I'm so glad you decided to do a podcast, thank you! I'm excited for new episodes.
The reason why all the videos and pictures of northern lights seem overexposed, is because cameras cant pick up the light without it. The light is generally just green and doesn't move that quickly at all. I live in the north of Norway where we see it all the time throughout the winter so here it's not a big deal.
Honestly I DID use this podcast to fall asleep. You have such a calming voice, i love it. maks me escape al the stress that's in my life at this moment
The auroras are just as amazing as some of the filtered photos imitate. I live in northern Canada and have grown up seeing them all my life. I've seen every colour you can imagine from palest yellows to flame reds and oranges. they can streak across the sky or fill it with dancing, shimmering curtains of brilliance. I freely admit that I take them for granted sometimes. I hope, Peter, that you do get to see them in person.. preferably up north here and on a night so clear that the stars and planets look like precious stones winking in the dark and when you take a breath in through your nose, your nostril hairs freeze solid. hahaha.. (that happens often here)
I live alone and don't really see people much, and for some reason this podcast is perfect to keep me sane. I love when people just come over and don't expect me to do anything with them, but just come and talk or do an activity and chill with me. That's sort of the aesthetic of this podcast and I love it.
I've been falling asleep with youtube videos as background noise for years now, but my go-to videos recently stopped helping for some reason and I've been struggling. I've already fallen asleep twice with this, within 15mn each time Thank you Peter for saving my fucked up sleep
Peter, aside from any contaminant in your maker, the 2 best things you can do to make your coffee taste good without alot of effort are: buy whole beans and grind fresh, this is really easy. Only grind beans minutes before you use them. The other trick is to drink it immediately. Even after a few minutes on a burner after it has dripped it will quickly start to become more bitter. Drinkable sure, but the bitterness will just grow on the heat.
Peter! Run your coffee maker as usual but do not put grounds in. take the water and place in the fridge or just let it sit. then when it warm or cool, try it. youll have a much clearer idea of whats going on with the taste. CHEERS!
i love watching your videos before i sleep. listening to you babble on is just so comforting and i don't know why. and your art is so complex. i love it, stay creative
I love listening to peter's voice ... I watch peter's podcast also his doodle vids everytime am sketching.. he just puts me in the mood and It enables me to sit for a long while and sketch my heart out ...
So nice to always have a friendly voice to sit and listen to while drawing. Have been a fan of yours for about 5 years, I recently am back into drawing again. Hope you are well! :)
There's a few things that could be causing bitterness in your coffee. If your grinds are left in too warm a place or are older Than a week then they could get more bitter. Another thing that can effect bitterness is if the coffee sits on the heating element too long. One thing you might try is getting whole bean coffee and grinding it before you drink it. I recently made that change in my coffee ritual in the morning and it was a game changer for me. Great drawing! Really love this podcast! Would love it if it were on iTunes
Your voice is so relaxing, and i can easily relax to it, clearing any negative energy i pick up from school. Its also easy to make art to. I dont know if there are any negative comments on this video, but if there are, id like to congratulate them for not being relaxed by the audio, and managing to say anything.
I was feeling really sad and I decided to paint something bc I haven’t in awhile and I put this on and I’m in such a better mood, thank you for the food for thought Peter. Really appreciate the content. :)
Peter, you mentioned you enjoyed the simplicity of drinking your coffee black, and that you seem to have an issue with your coffee being bitter. I would recommend looking in to a french press. Boil water, pour over the grounds, stir, wait 5 minutes, push the plunger and you have a simple consistent cup of coffee.
I like your podcast because you are fascinated so quickly, your brain thinks in a creative way, even about the most mundane things and I have the feeling that I want to think like you do.
I like to think the drawing is of one of those multi tools exploding. These parts, these tools, making it to another world of...color, and finding more truth then the shading they are used to.
hoI'm hyped as fuck for this podcast! I love listening to them at 4:00 in the morning when I'm in my final stages of drawing and am struggling to stay awake. they have a strangely grounding efect on me.
this is excellent. coffee and art. everything you're saying is incredibly relatable hahaha. keep doing what you're doing, you're wonderful!!! best regards from toronto :)
I started watching because of the art, kept watching because your voice is relaxing, now I watch because you're my friend and I like the things you say
I think I may have found the thing that will help me get my writings done. it might not be physical art, but just his talking is so soothing and nicely mundane it definitely helps
To clean coffee pot: 1) Pour one cup white vinegar and three cups water into reservoir. 2) Run mixture through one brew cycle. (No filter needed) 3) Run one brew cycle of plain water. Wha la! Clean coffee maker.
The auroras are very dim. Before digital cameras, I saw very few photos of them. So, yes, I feel like I need to see one for myself because I assume they don't quite look like the photos and videos we've all seen.
Put a little bit of salt on top of your coffee grounds... I know it sounds gross... you don't taste the salt at all, but it will take away that bitter taste. Hope it works for you! Love your videos!
I'm painting a portrait as i listen to this. I usually like to listen to you when i paint and draw :) You seem like a very genuine and sweet person. I feel less anxious when i watch your videos
If you don't like the bitter flavor in your coffee, I recommend a lighter roast coffee. Perhaps you're a Breakfast Blend person and not a French Roast person. I also recommend trying cold brew. Stir 1 cup of coarse-ground beans into 4 cups of cool water and let it sit for 12-48 hours on the counter or in the fridge. Cover it up if you like, but it's not critical. Then you can strain the grounds out and drink. If you find the result too strong, add hot or cold water to dilute it to your tastes. The cooler brewing temperature doesn't allow the bitter compounds from the bean to dissolve in the water as easily, so you get a much mellower flavor.
You are awesome....no ....beyond awesome. love watching your videos....you crack me up. loved your Ramen noodle ink drawing and your take on famous paintings. two of my favorites.
In my language (Bulgarian) we actually "ignite" the car, the word we use can be literally translated to "set on fire". Just felt like sharing this piece of totally useless info here :D
I wrote my college application essay about the feeling surrounding my favorite coffee shop, I found your chat (if you can call it that??) very relaxing
We have the same machine (cuisenart) and the way I clean it is by adding an amount of vinegar to the water and no grounds and then telling it to brew. It cleans the machine really nicely and doesn't leave a taste
For your question on the Aurora Borealis - As someone who's seen it twice in her life, it's actually really hard to describe. Seeing it in a picture is one thing, a video is nice too (and I do get a bit annoyed with videos that speed it up), but I do know what you mean about feeling as though people are editing it. Cameras can't capture quite what the human eye can. And as great as technology has become, it doesn't even compare to the real thing. You're still looking at it on a flat surface (paper, screen), whereas seeing it for yourself... it fills the whole sky with its dance. It goes fast, slow, you lose track of time, the colours of its ribbons(or sheer curtains) glow in the dark sky. It starts in the distance and your mind wonders where it will go (because it has no set path you can see), but it's overwhelming when it gets to right above you and it fills the sky, but you can still see the stars beyond. Where you see it too contributes to the experience (the smell in the air, the sounds nearby, the temperature, etc). On my second aurora borealis experience, I even had a bit of a cultural experience thrown in "they say that she'll come closer if you whistle". It is one of the most magical things I have ever experienced. I hope you get to experience it some day. I know I hope to be lucky enough to experience it at least once more.
Oh dear, I'm crying! A squirt of vinegar + tspn of baking soda, rinse with cold water. Get rid of vinegar smell with lemon juice for a whole new coffee experience. Who doesn't love coffee spores!
Regarding the Aurora Borealis, the issue is that to the naked eye it is much more visible than with a regular camera. HOWEVER having grown up with it (from Iceland), most of the times the pictures are over exposed beyond the point of what you would really be able to see in person. So most of the time what I saw growing up was a streak or a smudge of green with red mixed inn. They can be really bright of course, but to have them that bright you pretty much need to be somewhere in the middle of nowhere, or else the light pollution will make them seem duller. The movement however... It can truly dance around the sky like mad! "Pro tip! Rent a cottage or a summerhouse somewhere that is outside the main city areas etc. The best way to view them is in a hot tub, in the dead of winter sitting there sipping a cold beer/wine/soda! 8D Now that is truely magical! To get a more accurate view of what they look like in person in a city, I would suggest looking up Pewdiepie's Iceland video, around the time of 12:07 in the video, that is a very accurate view of what you would have a chance to see.
Also, I like and understand what you mean about coffee shops. I like to go to coffee shops and have breakfast because I like the sounds and hustle and bustle of people around,, but don't like to interact too much. I like to be around people because I live by myself, but don't like to feel like I HAVE to engage. so coffee shops are great for that
Wilmington? North Carolina? The way people talk about coffee here is precisely why I don't go to coffee shops. It's always presented like the information is something I should care about, and I can only smile and nod for so long.
Yes, indeed I am listening to you while drawing. Btw I'm pretty sure you talking about pearler beads? If it's the peg boards size you're asking about you can buy multiple boards and connect them to make a huge board, but I'm not sure how big the beads get.
At the end of the video, i believe you're talking about perler beads, you put them on a pegboard in any design you want and then iron the front and back of it :)
It's nice to have someone talk about nothing instead of the depressing real world.
Mc sketchy, you must have seen some horrors
Yay, Petter seems to me to be A really nice person. 🤔
peter: the only youtuber i know that can talk about a coffee pot for more than 15 minutes without sounding boring
I can't afford nice art supplies. I see people constantly using those expensive Copic markers and expensive colored pencils and making beautiful things, and it makes me feel inadequate. When I see you make art with ANYTHING and EVERYTHING and it turns out so stunning and breathtaking, it makes me feel better and gives me a motive to take these crappy ass shitmarkers and pencils and make something out of nothing like Peter does.

I use tombows cuz they are more affordable
Doctor: you have 39 minutes and 11 seconds to live
Me: *turns this on
the drawing and his voice is just so calming
People in this community are so pleasant to each other, it's a nice transition from everyone insulting one another on other channels
Oh look at this guy discovering a cool channel, wow amazing accomplishment, do you want a cookie or a trophy???? 🤣🤣🤣I'm 100% kidding? Plz dont b mad. That's one of the reasons I love Peter and his channel so much. No fighting. Just awesome art and awesomer commentary 😊💗
Podcast of the year 2017. Hour long episodes would be amazing.
Camboy GW I think he should feel comfortable with his time unlike other podcasts that try to make up or cut off story's to make their hour mark.
I just woke up and heard, "Maybe you're asleep." Lol.
i was watching his videos earlier and i fell asleep for about 2 hrs

Kerese Chetty You know whats really practical when you want to fall asleep? Closing your eyes.
Kerese Chetty I'm sorry some of the comments are kinda rude. Peters voice is really nice to fall asleep to :) I wish you luck!!

Your jumper sleeves look really cool. this was a very colourful podcast! I loved it like usual lol
Your voice is so relaxing, and i can easily relax to it, clearing any negative energy i pick up from school.
Its also easy to make art to.
I dont know if there are any negative comments on this video, but if there are, id like to congratulate them for not being relaxed by the audio, and managing to say anything.

Is he the next Bob Ross?
Caleb Fields the new Bob Ross
Caleb Fields nahhh peter is peter. peter is cool in his own style and way
no, this is Peter (edit: just now realizing how late i am to the party)
deadboy not as late as me
NOT LATE AS ME
I love these podcasts
hoI'm hyped as fuck for this podcast! I love listening to them at 4:00 in the morning when I'm in my final stages of drawing and am struggling to stay awake. they have a strangely grounding efect on me.
Your voice is so soothing. I can listen to it for hours

I started watching because of the art, kept watching because your voice is relaxing, now I watch because you're my friend and I like the things you say
Also my coffee pot also makes gross coffee and I haven't been able to clean it well enough to enjoy it since.

14 mins in and we're still talking about coffee 😂 content free
I love that you talk and just be yourself. a lot of people can't
that was a wonderfully distressing video

causing anxiety, sorrow or pain; upsetting.
I was also tormented greatly by this video
oops, silly mistake xD yeah de-stressing

YOU'VE DONE IT NOW, PETER

you can buy a descaling kit for coffee machines
I think it' would look even better by outlining the colors
backseat artist! :)
+Peter Draws haha sorry :)
But could you please take a quick look at my drawings I posted in my google+ please?
It would make my day
I'm a huge fan!
A bowl of Miso soup has anyone ever told you that your'e unbearable
limepup what?
that was just my opinion you know?
You're the one being rude
i think he was referencing miso soup
This reminds me of that drawing you did when that company sent you some markers to do a video with, I like it, thanks Peter

i listen to these while i get ready in the morning
it's probably too late but the plastic melting art you're thinking of is perler beads. They are perfect for 8 bit art!
I actually fell asleep x) and now I'm listening to the end ''again''/while I'm aware
FYI if your coffee is too bitter you can add a pinch of salt and it helps knock down the bitterness.
After running through with the vinegar, run some baking soda water through to neutralize the vinegar that's lingering in the coffee maker.
Super soothing. This was great!
Yes, indeed I am listening to you while drawing. Btw I'm pretty sure you talking about pearler beads? If it's the peg boards size you're asking about you can buy multiple boards and connect them to make a huge board, but I'm not sure how big the beads get.
I cleaned/tidied my room while listening to this
This was really satisfying to listen/watch

It's great to see that you're continuing these podcasts, love them!
At the end of the video, i believe you're talking about perler beads, you put them on a pegboard in any design you want and then iron the front and back of it :)
I have also been told putting a little salt into the grounds takes away the bitterness. Don't know never tried it yet.
