The best method is to quit. In my old chef job I drank two pots if coffee and a quart on top of it. All black. After I had covid tachycardia plagued me and I still can't drink caffeine. But I did learn the wonders of decaf which offer the same benefits.

Get a french press, get smoked arubica coffee beans. Grind them up

Add one tsp of cinnamon,
Add one tsp of peppermint,
Add one tsp of manuka honey or honeycomb,
Add an orange peel, whole
Add two tablespoons of heavy whipping cream, pasture raised organic,

Now add in your coffee and press. Stir in lemongrass whole and stir with milk thistle powder. Add decaffeinated dark 100% chocolate powder and mix with just one tsp of brown sugar.


Prepare to have your tastebuds go on a journey my friend

Coffee is bad for your health. Drink balck tea instead. Cheaper, healthier, easy to make/clean. Same amount of caffeine. Add some milk if you want a little more taste.

>>54767452
I haven't had much luck with the french press.

>>54767414
bump. I want to make espresso but don’t want to buy a machine. I’ve been getting by with just a kettle and nescafe instant

Buy good beans and grind yourself before brewing. If you're buying ground coffee, add a dash of salt on top of the grounds. YW

Here's what has worked for me:
>Keep making you hot beverage of choice
>Instead of sipping of waiting for it to cool, knock back the entire cup so it burns your mouth
>Eventually your taste buds will become insensitive
>Now it doesn't matter what kind of coffee you drink because your can't taste it.

>>54767414
protip: drop an icecube in to your coffee in order to cool it down enough to sip

>>54769219
I do this, but for cooking. If my cooking tastes like shit it doesn't matter cuz I'll eat it right our of the pan

>>54767414
French press.
One cup a day.

>>54768892
Jeez at least buy a moka pot and ground coffee it tastes way better than instant, if not as good as an espresso machine

these are 30-somethings, they are established, feel powerful -- so long as they're not thinking about their outstanding mortgage
>ok what about you you old faggot
well, any random morning i feel like it, around 5am, i expend half a gallon of 93 octane fuel to drive a $120,000 foreign GT V8 to a franchise coffee shop, and pay $3 for a teenage girl to make my fucking dirtwater for me. 3 creams, no sweeteners.
traffic permitting -- by which i mean if there aren't wageslave faggots in my way -- i powerslide a U-turn or two, trailbrake in the protected right-hand turns, and launch at every red light. there are some lights i'll sit at when it turns green to let the sheep get out of the way so i can fully enjoy the next corner ahead of me. this spills a bunch of the coffee into the cupholder, but not on the leather.
fellas, you have a bright future. you just need to open your mind to the possibilities.
we're all gonna make it.

>>54769107
Only good advice in the thread, this anon is a connessuier

>>54767452
This is sissy hypno juice not coffee

Get yourself a Vietnamese press and follow this guy's advice
>>54769107

An aeropress is a bulletproof way to make coffee. It's like 30ish bucks and the filters come in a pack of 200. You don't need any special equipment but if you invest in whole beans and a burr grinder, the sky is your limit. French presses have too many moving parts and break too often, not to mention the sludge they leave in your cup.

GET AN AEROPRESS YES I'M A SHILL FOR IT YES I DO IT FOR FREE.

>>54769430
I hate coffee but I bought one of these and ice coffee ontop of cold cream is like a desert.

>>54767414
practice op

>>54767452
Sorry anon, but you're a raging faggot.

>>54767414
Just use a Moka pot

>>54770569
yeah, exactly. I treat coffee like a dessert so I don't drink it too often.

>>54767414
For me, it's grinding freshly roasted beans and putting them in The Press.

>>54767414
All these retards are wrong. Here is the best way to make coffee either by single pour.

Purchase Good Grinder 1: For all coffees. Get a good conical burr grinder. Here is the one I have and have honestly ran through entire rainforests worth of beans without a single day of maintenance. Mahlkonig or Italian ones are solid. This one passes the WAF. Its expensive but its a multigenerational grinder that will pay for itself a thousand times over if you no longer get your shit burnt Starbucks coffee everyday.

Purchase Dripper Step 2: Buy a Hario single pour coffee https://www.hario-usa.com/collections/drippers/products/v60-plastic-dripper-03

>Set your burr grinder to a somewhat-fine grind and select the number of cups you want to make. I have a big mug, so I set mine to three cups, or 24 oz.
>Fill up your electric kettle with that amount of water (24 oz. in my case).
>Place a filter in your Hario or Chemex, then run some hot tap water over it. This wets the filter and gets rid of that raw paper taste you don’t want in your coffee (my palate is sophisticated enough to pick that up). Dump that nasty water out.
>Pour the ground beans in the filter.
>Once the kettle is boiling, take it off the heat for a few seconds. The optimal temperature for brewing is 205° F, or just off the boil. A big reason your auto-drip coffee tastes crappy is because it often only heats the water to 160° or so. This creates bitterness, both in your mug and your mood.
>Pour a little bit of hot water over the coffee, just enough to soak the grounds without dripping through. Then wait 60 seconds. This steeps the coffee a bit and releases the CO2 created during the roasting process.
Slowly pour in the rest of the water. Again, the idea is to soak the grounds instead of letting the water race through. This will draw out all those flavors that make coffee so great.
>Drink the best cup of coffee you’ve ever made.

Do you even coffee bro?

Hi I'm anon and I'm going to make something called coffee that doesn't taste like coffee at fucking all.

Why not go to food and tell them to dip steaks in dark chocolate. Fuck me, if you were in Saudi Arabia (some of the best cofffee in the world desu) and did this, they would behead you on the spot.

>>54771254
they would also behead OP for being a faggot.
>some of the best coffee in the world
is that why they stick in cardamom and a fistful of sugar? the only thing arabs are good at roasting are their wives faces, with acid.
drink jamaican blue mountain if you want coffee, grind your own, and use a french press. that, or just drink monster like the 30 year old boomer you actually are

Get a good hand grinder like 1zpresso Jmax / jx pro. You can use it with all types of coffee brewing methods, including espresso if you buy a machine later on. A top tier hand grinder is cheaper and as good as $500+ electric grinders. Plus you will make forearm and grip strength gainz every morning

After that, the main thing is to buy quality fresh beans and grind immediately before you make the coffee

>>54767414
>Distilled water
>_CLEAN_ brewing equipment
>Fresh ground beans
>Pinch of salt
Divine
Doesn't mater how you make it, espresso machine, french press, whatever.

>>54767452
Nobody is doing all that shit for a 10 minute coffee break.

Step 1: boil water
Step 2: put ground coffee in cup
Step 3: pour hot water in the cup
Step 4: wait 5 minutes
Step 5: stir, add sugar and milk, stir again
congratulations you just made a world class coffee

>>54771652
But then you'd have all the grounds still in the coffee.

>>54771673
the grounds sink to the bottom if you steep it properly. the cup has to be undersquare

>>54767452
Just drink a monster at that point.

>>54767496
>Coffee is bad for your health.
In what ways? I've never been clear on this.
>Same amount of caffeine.
No, typically a cup of black tea has about half as much caffeine as coffee.

>>54771477
Well I worked in Saudi Arabia for 6-7 months and the peeps I worked with never did any of the shit you describe. The beans usually came from Ethiopia and the coffee was first rate. The coffee treee is indiginous to Ethiopia and not Jamaica. Jamaica is a 3rd world shit hole (worked there too) and I can't trust your opinion after what you wrote. I am sorry you hate Arabs so much. I have never drank an energy drink in my life outside of some Vodka redbulls at a club.

>>54769107
I've never added salt, but the pros confirm that it can be good. I'll try it.

>>54771652
You made coffee and poured sugar and milk into it, this is like calling birthday cake scrambled eggs

>>54767414
Weigh your coffee and water. Pour over, with good technique, is probably the best "good" cup of coffee you can do on the cheap.
I got an espresso machine for practically nothing that I had to fix up. Lucked out on it but now I spend more money on coffee than ever before and I'm 100% exclusively making it at home. If you want the best cup of coffee you've ever tasted, learn to roast beans, get super consistent grinds, and invest in a good food scale with a timer on it. Takes a bit of experimentation but you'll never go back, even with a start up cost of close to 2k.

>>54767414
Coffee is for the weak. The best investment strategy is to not drink it at all.

>>54772246
I like luxury

>>54769345
Best post imo.

>>54772120
Yes. If OP's main goal was saving money, he'd go monk-mode and only drink water. Coffee, tea, juice, soft drinks, wine, beer, etc. are mere luxuries.

>>54772120
>Coffee is for the weak
True strength is seeing beyond mere illusions of one's own limited ego-understanding and comprehending there's no correlation with coffee consumption and strength.

I love coffee but I think I need to quit

>>54767414
buy caffeine pills from the pharmacy
take them with lots of water
enjoy your running shits

there, I've saved you hundreds of dollars a year

I switched too to decaf. 6 months after getting into a 9-5 onsite job with unlimited free coffee machine, driving peak hours back home I realized how taxing it is on the systems. 2 weeks decaf only and it feels weird. I'm unengaged by my work and my productivity plummeted.

Either way, I still brew decaf on a hario V60/paper filter combo. No formulas, just put coffee and water through the filter. I'm happy with the flavour and texture.

holy shit...best and cheap way to drink coffee is buy a pack of grinded coffee, buy a moka, fill the bottom with still water, fill the filter with coffee, close the part toghether, heat the moka and wait until it make sound.

Hoboanon with today's financial advice:

The coffee of champions is simple; Instant coffee. I prefer nestles tasters choice (mainly because the glass container is great for storing peanuts or oatmeal)
You take maybe a spoonful and add powdered coffee mate. I personally don't use much coffee mate but if you're a Fats you can add 1/4th of the container. It's your drink bro

Imagine you're innawoods with a girl and she's thirsty. Put on your lumière voice and whip out your stanley pot and butane container with the portable burner attached. purify from any nearby watersource using your sawyer gravity bag, 3 minutes later her pussy will be wetter than your throat from drinking pure coffee that Jesus Christ would approve of

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle

Great I killed another thread

I hope tonight is the night you pull that trigger

>>54772029
salt only helps if you over extract and your pour is bitter
