Starting my day with a hot cup of coffee

>>12941681
Why are coffeefags never happy with their coffee? It's almost like they are actively looking for reasons to be angry about coffee. Why can't they just drink it and be happy?

>>12941700
Non-coffee drinkers are literal manchildren and as such, your opinions are irrelevant.

>>12941708
Thank you for proving my point in such a succinct way

>>12941720
I'm perfectly happy with my coffee and nothing in my post even suggests otherwise.

Anyone ever try pic related? I've been drinking one of the 48 oz bottles every two days. It's $5 but it tastes like choccy milk and I'm addicted to this shit.

>>12941726
You're an insufferable faggot. As all coffee drinkers are.

I only drink instant. Anything else tastes like burned pig shit steeped in hot water.

Fuck you all.

>>12941700
Are you talking about stuffy upper middle class people with very specific orders at coffee shops? These threads are usually pretty chill and I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Everyone in this shitty thread should shut the fuck up until I've had my morning cup

>>12941741
No, these threads are always full of douchebags whining about Starbucks.

>>12941742
Go back to bed, Ausfailia.

>>12941736
Instant coffee is known for tasting burnt/bitter, you stupid fuck.

You don’t know anything, percolator cuck.

Reposting for anon cause the other thread died early.

Reposting: how to chemex. Not bothering with metric conversions though I do acknowledge imperial is retarded. Also while not required, do not ever use preground and try to grind right before use, also a gooseneck electric kettle helps tremendously. Deleted and reposted to fix typos and shit since phoneposting.
>Acquire a light to medium roast. Dark is just flat out burnt, even medium roasts commonly dip into being unironically burnt
>Use around 1:18 grounds to water (personally I just use a third cup measuring cup to scoop beans which results in around the right amount of grounds for 16-18oz water)
>Heat water to 200 (not boiling, you retards)
>Grind size is medium-fine (on a Barista Encore I use size 18)
>Put filter in chemex
>Get hot water from sink, use it to wet the filter and preheat the glass
>Pour water out of the chemex when the kettle water is heated
>Put grinds in filter
>Pour water from kettle VERY slowly (dripping) to evenly wet the grounds without flooding it
>Wait 30-60 seconds
>Pour very slowly in the circular motion everyone describes so the water evenly is distributed throughout the grounds
>Pour faster once the water is clearly just impacting the water rather than the grounds under it, maintaining a level of around half an inch to an inch under the top
NOW HERE IS WHAT NOBODY FUCKING TELLS YOU
>once the kettle water runs out, take a spoon and scrap the sides of the filter so that the grounds settle back on the bed, otherwise it'll form a volcano and barely pass through any grounds resulting in watery garbage
>when there's more than about a second or so between drips it's done
>pour (people say to swirl it in the chemex for aeration but it makes no sense since pouring it will aerate it far more)
>rinse the chemex with clean water a couple times, it's quick to clean and prevents oils from building up that become rancid
I'll flesh this out a bit on PC and repost at a later date

>>12942468
Other thread died early because you've posted that pasta 3 time in 2 days.

>>12942468
tl;dr

Anyone else having a hard time balancing taste in lighter roasts?
I like the acidity of lightly roasted grains, but I also find myself missing the smooth taste of 'cream' brought by darker blends.
I'm looking for something with an acidic taste that still produces a smooth espresso feel, what robusta/arabica/??? proportions should I be looking for?

The only kind of coffee I make is espresso in a single-cup sized Bialetti moka, if that matters.

I've only ever had really bad decaf

do people even get coffee at starbucks
i've never once seen a 'cup of coffee' there, I don't think i've even just seen a regular plain latte ordered
it's always some milkshake looking concoction with at least 2 pumps of 2 different sauces
I really don't see why a milkshake business would bother investing in decent coffee when all you can taste is the thick chocolate and caramel sauce

>>12941727
i've had it, it's not the worst at all for the prize compared to other premade coffees you can get here
but the bottle shape is retarded and serves only to make it an avoided product, transporting them is annoying, its' not properly portable despite having a very good lid
a cheap cardboard carton would be better than this

>>12943188
decaffeinating takes a lot more than just the caffeine out so it tastes a lot blander and kinda shit. remove your trip pls

>coffee at starbucks
I used to work at Starbucks. It really depends on which location you go to. Some are basically just caffeinated Dairy Queens; they’re typically found in malls, near high schools, or in high foot traffic shopping areas. The one I was mainly at was in an office building and black coffee or Americanos were the main drinks sold.

>>12943356
This I can believe. Heard people say the blonde pour over is good, but a lot of it tastes burnt; kinda need to stick out from all the flavorings.

Starbucks barista here, I sell plenty of plain old cups of hot Pike Place daily, mostly to older guys. Lots of people buy plain lattes as well, it's usually young girls or middle-aged women buying the frappuccinos or refreshers all the time.

I implore you, friends, to rid yourselves of dependence upon this addictive and narcotic beverage. The energy and false enthusiasm it grants you but for a few hours are an illusion of the mind. True happiness, true energy--these are destinations that cannot be reached by the long and wicked path of the vile coffee bean. He who takes shortcuts in life finds he cuts himself short.

I don't depend on coffee for energy or happiness, I just thoroughly enjoy this beverage and don't intend to quit it anytime soon. And it's pretty curious how drinkers of this beverage made with the "vile coffee bean" that makes you "cut yourself short" are statistically likely to live longer than abstainers, really makes me think...

>>12947391

Yeah, it tastes like knockoff Yoohoo, but I use it to make power sludge for long drives. All you do is drink about two cupfulls of it, then add eight ounces of instant espresso and shake the fucker up.

its not the fact that its scientific research. its how its presented. taking correlation for proof and presenting it as absolute is academic dishonesty.

I want to buy a decent grinder so badly, but don't have any spare money right now. See you in 6 months.

making some pain au chocolat to enjoy with my coffee

Does anyone here regularly add a little salt to their grounds? I tried it this morning and it improved my store bought stuff enough that I'm thinking I'll start adding it by default.

>>12941727
That brand tastes bad to me, I ended up making my own but grinding so much by hand is a pain. Kroger's organic brand tastes pretty good.

>>12941700
nothing like arguing about coffee on the internet to calm the emotions of being irrelevant in a careless universe with no hope in sight, most people just need things to hate, like coffee beans, or baggy pants or the kids skateboarding on the sidewalk. Personally I blame the rap music

cheap as far as cold coffee goes and tastes pretty good if a bit bland, has this weird dry almost salty aftertaste that never leaves you feeling that refreshed
also I'm highly susceptible to the effects of caffeine yet get no buzz outta this stuff so there's hardly any caffeine in it if any at all

on a related note, why is it that cold coffee is so expensive? it must cost pennies to make

>>12941727
Their almond milk taste like shit so i assume that also taste like shit.

I got a ""3 cup"" 12Ooz French Press. Wanna try cold brew with it. I Googled it and people seem to dilute it with water after it's done (after 20 hours or whatever). Why they dilute it? You don't when making non-cold brew Fench Press.

>>12951762
It's mediocre, but it's quick and portable.

>>12951163
Yes. Personally I find green or white tea to provide a lasting stable burn, but feel free to experiment.

So, I have done an experiment to see if whipping and hydrolyzing sugar Cuban coffee style affects the taste enough to warrant the effort. It does.

Brew method: Moka pot
Coffee: bustelo
Sugar: roughly two small flattened spoonfuls.

Ok so the first cup I had was just the 3cup moka brew, no water added, with 2 flattish small spoon fulls of sugar added. The coffee was quite strong, bold and slightly harsh while having some sweetness to it that contrasted.

The whipped sugared one had the same amount of undiluted coffee and roughly the same amount of small flared spoonfuls of sugar added. It did taste sweeter, but the biggest thing is change in taste and texture. Texture was softer smoother, and the coffee had notes of dark chocolate caramel.

I still wouldn't want to add the traditional amount of a tablespoon of it though, but it did taste good and worked well with the dark roast.

>does it need to reach 9 bars
>do you need a steam wond
>do you need open bottom
>do you need overly precise extraction control
>money for matinance
For me it's a moka pot. Although when I don't have to worry about money, I want a Flair.

>>12952751
Buy a scratch and dent flair, get the pressure gauge, or wait for the new revision that takes the cheap machine and gives them the upgraded brew head. Start with that + a top tier hand grinder and you're set for years to come. Your next upgrade will be for convenience, not for taste. You've only got to worry about replacing cheap orings every once in a while, not sourcing the right flare seals.

>>12947459
I know this bait but this really steams my clams. The fallacy is an unjustifiable appeal to authority, ie the authority doesn't actually know shit about the subject eg celebrities and politics. If a person is an expert on a subject then obviously you would value his or her opinion on it.

>>12953959
Bought this cause it was on sale and I'm just going to put it in the basic bitch drip machine. As soon as October hits though, I'm making many pumpkin spice puree that I add to coffee, yogurt, and tea. It's a """healthy""" way to add pumpkin flavor to stuff. Not as potent as syrup but it works.
>>12954029
I'm probably using that word wrong. I think whipping something means your getting air into it. You just want to stir the sugar vigorously sneed beat it like it owes you money. It did come out very light brown and be viscous.

For me it's nescafe Instant.

You force your wife to work a min wage job until midnight, shame on you.

>>12957060

Nah, I don't force shit. She's home with the kid by day; I'm there by night, and she goes to work for extra money for whatever the fuck. If she wants to quit she will, but until then, I'll enjoy lots of free stuff. Though they hired her as manager because they need someone to, among other things, quit overordering, so the free stuff is going to stop when she does her job right. Damn shame.

Can someone recommend me a good drip coffee maker?

I've been using a pour over method for the last few years, but now I think it'd be nice to wake up to already made coffee in the morning.

No. But I bought a bag of the fall blend starbucks coffee because it tastes decent.

You call buy "drip" machines that make automated pour over with bloom and stuff. Going to cost more than mr coffee but are reasonable.

>>12952439
Here in Italy I've seen people do something very similar, but they only mix the first drops of coffee with the sugar to make the cream and than add the rest of it in the cup. I never do this because of the hassle but maybe you can speed things up with someting like this.

>>12957409
I doubt think so. Much to thick. It teaches less than a minute to do anyways.

>>12953952
Lefty sheep following their talking heads detected. So sad your low iq lefty brain can’t see that you literally just said why it’s a fallacy, it’s not the authority that matters it’s knowing what they are talking about, hence appealing to authority is pointless. I don’t know why I bother explaining it to you, I’ve long since come to the understanding that lefties aren’t retarded for being lefties, they’re retarded so they are lefties.

>>12957424
You're probably right about the thickness, but I think it also depends on how much sugar you add. You're totally right about the time it takes though, still not worth the effort for me. Anyway I'll try to make one as the post described right now, although with less sugar.

>>12957436
Trump needs to hurry up and gas all leftists.

>>12957487
Make sure the sugar ratio is 4tsp sugar, 1tsp coffee. If it doesn't come out light color and thicc add a bit more sugar. I uasally only end up using half of the yield though.

>>12957436
I remember having to explain to my npc friend that credibility is an ego thing and not essential to the process

>>12957593
Ok, I tried using your ratio (I assume you swapped sugar and coffee!) and the texture and taste were pretty nice, and surprisingly different from the "control cup". By itself it's too sweet for me, but I'd like it on top of an unsweetened coffee.

>>12957436
Why are you even talking about leftists on a conversation about coffee and scientific research? You sound schizophrenic.

I have a breville BES870XL I got for $300 and it's the tits. Grinder it comes with is good enough, it reaches proper pressure, and the steam wand works just fine. Single boiler, so you can't steam and brew at the same time but whatever it's cheap.

I got an espresso addiction from my first trip to Italy years ago and the breville manages to feed it 3x a day without any issues. Only maintenance is occasional descaling/cleaning with cheap cafiza tablets and filter replacement.
