How does an aeropress taste compared to a moka pot? I love the strength of a moka pot coffee but I keep burning it. I'm retarded I meed something easier to use.

>>11964454
Aeropress will be a bit more body foward. So think an Americano with a flavor profile to drip coffee

>>11962810
My shipment comes in tomorrow, pretty fucking excited

>>11964454
You can make a pretty good variety of brew styles with the aero, I suggest looking up recipes and trying them out if you choose to go wth one

>>11965945
Nice post results

Anyone else drink their coffee black ?
Also is using a Chemex worth it ?
Favorite brand of coffee

>>11967717
I do. I’m the Lactic Process OP from the previous roaster thread

>>11967345
This

stove top best top

>>11969362
I like to be on top

>>11969362
Moka pot?

>>11967345
Just came in. Was roasted two days ago so I'm gonna give it a couple more to offgas before opening.

>>11970581
Nice, smell it doe. Only the smellz. Also I found it pretty drinkable at around 5 days off roast

>>11970639
B-but anon, I am afraid to compromise the integrity of the CO2 barrier preventing my precious beans from premature oxidation ;-;

>>11970670
>believing that the bag is hematically sealed

It'll be fine if you open it. I like tasting the process from super fresh to peak. Its cool to see the change

>>11970693
Eh, in my experience it's best to just let it completely settle before touching it. I have patience. I like to hold onto some of my superstitions

>>11970700
You must listen to Rocco beebee, only smellz. Try. Just test.

>>11970702
Do not tempt me Satan, I will smell it in two days time

>>11970747
Just one little whiff

>>11971678
Anon stop

>>11962810
Oddly Correct on 4channel? Based. Are they becoming popular or are you MidtownKC?

Peet's and Stumptown cause I'm a fucking hipster.

just opened this bag
don't usually go for BBA coffee but the caramel and oak from this one is awesome

>>11973877
But both of those are mediocre

>>11970700
Your posts made me go into Oddly Correct and get a pourover of the Gladys Cruz this morning. Damn it's good

>>11974846
Wish I lived close to some super high end cafes doing cool shit like that. I'm in Detroit and there are some pretty great local roasters/cafes here, but nothing too special until Madcap finally opens its shop. Pretty damn excited, highly recommend them as well if you haven't heard of.

>>11973867
Nah I ordered the lactic process. Fucking blew me away

>>11975690
Nice

I randomly dump an unknown amount of Folgers grounds in the coffee machine. Could this be why I don't like coffee? Is there a way to make less bitter coffee

>>11976627
Try some medium or light roasts. Make in moka pot. add a bit of cream and sugar if it's still too much.

>>11976627
>Is there a way to make less bitter coffee
cold brew

>>11974704
I know :(

just got pic related

>>11977441
Ooo nice, flavor notes?

>>11962810
Pic related is the best combo of taste and availability in my area.

Barista bro, today is the day you test and smellz

>>11979488
Incorrect, that is tomorrow

>>11978869

I think you meant.

>>11967717
I really enjoy their Velo. Here in Madison they are the only non-local chain I go to. Otherwise when in grocery shop I'll purchase from local roasters of which we have a fair few.

I currently use chock ful o nuts and a $2 plastic pour over to brew.
I had a burr grinder and aeropress but tossed them when I moved.
What's the best way to get the best cuppa without breaking the bank?
I have a bonavita electric kettle and one of those glass top electric stoves for reference.

>>11979670
bump
Also I brew 32 oz at a time, with the pourover directly over my 32 oz mug/tumbler.
Anything that maintains that simplicity would be best.

>>11978508
It says golden raisins and hazelnut cream on the bag; I definitely taste golden raisins but I no not detect hazelnut, hazelnut is quite subtle though so maybe I'm just retarded and can't taste it but it's actually there.

>>11979670
>I had a burr grinder and aeropress but tossed them
Why the fuck would you do that? A burr grinder is necessary for grinding your own beans and the Aeropress is a fine way of brewing a cuppa.

>>11980502
I lived in a shithole apt and some stuff got a little moldy and wasn't worth the hassle of cleaning.
The grinder only cost like 35 bucks and I wake up at 530 so I wasn't using it as much as I was during uni because it was a bit loud and took longer.

espresso maker worth it?
if so recs?
Also hows the taste difference between a pour over brew vs an americana?

>>11979670
imo first step is a burr grinder and buying whole beans. hario skerton is fine to start. or I guess be willing to buy small amounts of pre-ground often. brewing method doesn't matter nearly as much--pourover is just fine.

>>11980551
Don't buy an espresso machine

>>11980563
but why
what about moka pot
and should you dilute moka pot brew like espresso

>>11980575
not him, but I'm very happy with my moka pot. lots of body, lots of oils. I don't usually use it with really nice beans--not great for bringing out subtle tasting notes and not terribly bean-efficient--but it's my go-to for everyday. also, to be pedantic, it's not espresso--much lower pressure extraction, much less concentrated. that's not a bad thing necessarily, it's still damn tasty (imo) but you're not gonna replicate what you get from a powered espresso machine.

You can do whatever you want re: dilution. I don't--if I want large volumes of coffee I usually go with pourover or french press--but lots of people do.

>>11980575
Espresso machines are expensive and not worth the money unless you're a rich hobbyist

>>11980575
Espresso machines aren't going to be worth it unless you drop thousands on a nice machine and equally nice grinder/misc equipment. You also need to drink a shit ton of espresso to make the purchase worth it. 99% of people are better off going with a Moka pot.
I personally dilute my Moka pot brew because it's really strong compared to conventional methods of brewing. One time I drank the entire pot of my Moka brew and I projectile vomited, so now I add some hot water to the mug to essentially make caffe lungo.

>tfw hario skerton shaft has worn away at plastic housing and dropped plastic shavings into muh coffee

yikes, glad I got a lido

>>11980495
Id suggest letting that coffee cool then, hazelnut should come thru on the back end

>>11981425
I'll come through on your back end

>>11981425
How cold do you mean? I brew it at like 85C so it's probably at 60C when it's drinkable.

best auto burr grinder under 100 USD?

>>11981832
>auto
>under 100 USD
Not happening, get a manual

>>11981848
i brew 24-32 oz at a time
nobody got time for that

>>11981832
Wilfa svart

>>11981707
Damn, that’s a pretty cool temp for brew.

Usually for african coffees I go close to 203F and then drink slowy as it cools to 60C. Brewing at a hot temp=catalyst for more chemical rxns to produce the flavor profiles you want. Especially with african coffees, you gotta brew hotter just because of how dense they are

i've been doing topeca the last few bags

i live in TX so it ships here as quick as any local place

consistent and the price is right

>he has to order coffee over the internet
Explain how you're not a druggie.

>>11982758
Huh?

How long does it take to hand grind ~25g beans?
And how well do storage containers work if I want to auto grind a weeks worth of beans at a time and store vs hand grind daily.

>>11983713
Like 30 seconds. If you grind while your water is heating up then you aren't really losing any time

Local stuff back home, I order it because A. It's good and B. Fond memories.

Does anyone know how keep chemex/pourover coffee from getting overly muddy? No matter what I do, small particles still seem to get through.

>>11983935
Might be a grinder issue producing fines, chemex filters are thick as fuck so grind is probably the cause

>>11983713
depends on the grinder and how fast you crank it. my lido 3 powers through it like nothing, little more of a struggle with my old hario

>>11983935
how much mud we talkin' here, because this might just be an expectation management thing

also >>11984003

LActic anon, today is the day

>>11984300
Smells like cocoa to me, first whiff

>>11984316
Bloom, a lot more of the acidity is coming out. I see where you might say apple

>>11984337
First cup was pretty underextracted, gave it to my roommate and will be trying again. Temp recommendations? I'm using 205° to start

>>11984276
Noticeable from the first sip. I'm using offbrand shit, so I'm gonna see if using a name brand filter helps, along with trying coarser-ground coffee.
Thank you for the help.

>>11984356
Much better on second try, cocoa up front, very creamy and thick feeling in the mouth. As it cools I notice the sweetness more, very low acidity.

>>11984410
It really really brightens up as it cools. The flavors change immensely throughout the cup, this is fucking awesome thank you for introducing me to oddly correct

>>11984423
No problem anon, I brew a bit cooler, 203 and used the tetsu method. I love doing a 40g bloom to amp the sweetness in the cup

>>11984486
Second cup I kind of deviated from normal and went with 90g bloom at 200° (Still turned out pretty great, though a little flat), will be playing with it a lot over the course of the week, will also be trying it through aero as I'm almost out of filters

>>11973877
garbage coffee made by niggers

R8 haul
Already have a bonavita kettle.
Recs for freshly roasted beans online? I live in the dirty south and none of these hicks and nigs give a fuck about good coffee.

>>11984775
Onyx and Oddly Correct are both southern roasters that are pretty fucking good.
>stainless steel mugs
This seems stupid desu, make sure you warm them before pouring coffee in. Otherwise that's a good starter setup, you'll likely want to upgrade the grinder in the future. Never used a coffee canister before, I usually just throw my bags into Tupperware into the freezer.

any good espresso brands?
have tried intelligentsia, counterculture, bluebottle, PTs and some local brands
want to try onyx, stumptown, and madcap

rotate between CC and intelligentsia due to reasonable taste and shipping policies

>>11981425
hol up imma make some with my french press to see if it makes a difference

>making coffee

>>11984805
>Onyx and Oddly Correct are both southern roasters that are pretty fucking good.
I meant I was looking for local roasters but couldn't find any so have to go online. Plus by south I mean like GA, AL, deep south.

>>11985659
Misunderstood you, try drinktrade.com they have a good listing of well known roasters. Onyx is the one I order from most.

>>11985357
I think that I ground it to coarsely because it didn't taste of golden raisins anymore

>>11984500
My suggesstion, try the tetsu method with a coarser grind.

>>11986028
Will try it tomorrow

>>11985852
>drinktrade.com
this is pretty neat, ty bro

>>11986061
Nice

I know that this isn't a brewing method thread but has anyone ever used one of those Vietnamese coffee filter things? I saw one at the chink store for like $6 and I thought about trying it.

>>11988990
I think it would work?

>>11989676
But are they good

>>11990562
All coffee brewers do essentially the same thing, infuse hot water with coffee

>>11990748
That's a very ignorant statement, different brewing methods can produce different flavors and textures from the same beans.

>>11990782
Yeah and I said "essentially"

>>11990917
I'm gonna "essentially" rape your mom, murder your entire family, conquer your country, and sow its fields with salt you fucking faggot

>>11990926

>>11980551
Coming from someone with a Europiccola, it's not worth it

>>11980805

Even a cheap one is worth it. You don’t even need to spend $500 to get something which will be a vast improvement over memepots. If you can’t afford that much then you won’t be the kind of person whose opinion about the finer things in life holds any weight anyway.

>>11992203
Home espresso is a dumb meme

>>11983713
don't store grinds unless they're from an incredible grinder

>>11984529
I have some bad news about your favorite ethiopian single origins anon

>try to roast my own coffee
>it all fails horribly
>wasted $20 of good quality beans

>Try all kinds of instant coffee
>Nothing beats aldi's colombian medium roast

feels good that my favourite coffee is super cheap

>>11962810
t-rexes never drank coffee!
lol so random xd
good taste op

>>11995096
Don’t bismerch the tiny arms

>>11988990
They work, but they just make Vietnamese coffee and that's it.

>>11976627
Same, or yuban sometimes stater bros store brand. I just get whats cheapest and will last me the longest

anybody have any experience with buying from new harvest? looking for online shops to try, bulk pricing a plus.

>>11973877
More like Chumptown.

For me it is kopi luwak

>>11998849
>literally drinking shit

What's the best single cup coffee maker to fill up my cup before heading to work?

>>12000317
Nespresso probably

>>12000317
depends on your budget, how big your cup is, how much you want to nerd out about it, and what you like. french press of a suitable size or bee house dripper would probably be my go-to recommendations absent further information.

>>11996067
But is Vietnamese coffee good

>>12001535
>But is Vietnamese coffee good
Yes, quite good actually.
It's not something I crave when I'm at home but I like it every day in Vietnam.

I'm really liking Onyx's Peruvian for cold brew. A nice break from all the Ethiopian I've been drinking.

>>11984805
>kansas city
>south
Are you retarded on purpose?

>>12003878
No only coincidentally

>>11988990
Ignore those other anons, you can make any coffee with it. The coffee making process is similar to an aeropress, but you'll have to use medium to course ground coffee.

They're nice, but an aeropress for like $20 is better for a cheap single cup maker.

>>12003755
Cold brew.... can’t wait for summer. Perfect with a squirt of lemonade
