i shat myself instantly after trying dalgona

My ma has this thing where she brews the coffee with hot milk instead of water. It's pretty strange but in a good way

>>13873309
any idea whether she tried anal or threesomes before?

I don't like dark roast

Anything with milk/cream/sugar is not coffee. Enjoy your milkshake fags, just don't call it coffee.

Today I had my coffee with vanilla milk and cola

Got anything you guys would recommend?

what the heck is dalgona? instant coffee mixed with yogurt?

>>13873299
Go fuck yourself OP for starting the tread with that retarded meme garbage. Honestly at this point I am fed up with this little "[coffee preparation] edition" meme. I might have to go make my own ctg with blackjack and hookers if you keep acting like a fucking faggot. You're on thin ice, bud.

>>13873660
Instant coffee whipped with water and sugar to foam.

okay hold up
regular instant coffee is 1-2 TEAspoons of instant coffee powder per cup
dalgona coffee is 2 TABLEspoons of instant coffee powder per cup
what am I missing? why isn't that retarded?

>>13874613
I think it is 2 tablespoons instead of 2 teaspoons for the dalgona recipe
it was too much caffeine for me to process all at once

>>13873299
>dalgona coffee
haha yep it's official. coffeefags are all normalfaggots

a little effort for a big payoff

>>13873299
>major dickinson's blend K cup made from the 1-cup Keurig
>no

Best K-cup? I don't like using them but I don't have room f or much else, the Keurig was free and I don't have time to go get coffee every day

>>13873299
Made some irish coffee without cream. Jameson goes really well with medium roasts.

>>13873299
>what are you drinking
Shaken, chilled instant coffee with redcurrant syrup. I've been attempting to producing a creamy coffee beverage. Without, you know, actually using any cream, or a blender, because I'm bored.
>do you like it
I've found it more drinkable than Dalgona but the mixture has completely separated. So it's a failure.
>getting anymore
No.

>>13874747
this shit has more than 30 grams of sugar + sugar from the milk
literally worse for you than a can of coke

what are some coffees that taste like deathwish but with not as much caffeine?
i like to sip on coffee throughout the day but im not trying to give myself a heart attack

>>13873299
got pic related at aldis the other day. good as fuck. seriously the best preground ive had.

>>13876061
>best preground ive had
That's like saying "the best shit I've ever eaten"

>>13873668
I'll second that. This thread will turn out to be 65 posts of "hao2daglona?" and "yummy I love milk and sugar."

>>13873307
>i shat myself instantly after trying dalgona
>Ingredients
>2tbsp of instant coffee

6 times as strong as normal instant coffee, so not surprising.

>>13873334

Screw you. I <3 LOVE Dark Roast. The only type i'll buy. Fuck the watery medium and light roasts.

>>13876314
try it man. i live down the road from the highest rated coffee shop in my state and its as good as theirs

Attempting to cold brew with dark roast. Made two liters of coffee

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

>>13874613
>regular instant coffee is 1-2 TEAspoons of instant coffee powder per cup
since when? for babbies like you sure but ive never seen anyone adding a teaspoon of instant.

>>13876364
rocks in my coffee beans

>>13876327
You just need a 1:1:1 ratio of everything
>2tsp coffee
>2ish tsp sugar
>2tsp water
>small bowl
wa la, this makes enough for 2 small lattes

how do i stop drinking instant coffee and upgrade my experience

I am going to drink decaf from now on

>>13877040
Get a french press and use actual coffee.

>>13873299
i have an immersion blender, mixer, vitamix, and food processor

what should i make this with and whats the actual recipe

do i use normal milk or condensed milk or something

>>13877529
It's just incredibly aerated coffee. I'm no scientician but I dont even think its an emulsification because there's no oil in instant coffee(i think) there's no milk involved in the cream, you put the cream on top of mik

just mix together equal parts sugar, instant coffee and boiling water and whisk until you get a consistency similar to a whipped cream and spoon it onto milk.

>>13875321
I tried it today and only did 1 tbsp of sugar to everything else, not very frothy, but tasty. Definitely not making this very often though even 1 tbsp of sugar is to much.

I want to start being a coffee elitist and stop with the shitty supermarket blend coffee. How do I go on about doing this.

>>13878783
go to a supermarket that sells beans (any decent supermarket) and grind beans on the bean grinder at the supermarket.

>>13878783
>Buy a grinder
The most important step. Kinu if you are serious or something like the Aergrind if you are poor. Don't listen to the Timemore shill who frequents /ctg/ and don't ever fall for the Lido meme.
>Buy a brewer.
For me, it's the V60 in ceramic (<$20), but the Kalita Wave is also fine. Only faggots use the Aeropress or Chemex. A French press is also nice to have if you want to try something different or make cold brew. Never fall for the Moka meme and espresso is a rabbit hole you don't want to enter for a long time.
>Buy coffee
Search for a local roaster. You probably have one even if you live in the middle of nowhere. If you don't, order from a roaster online. Do not fall for the (((Trade))) meme, no matter how tempting it seems. Experiment with different countries and varieties, but make sure that you are buying single origin. African coffees taste very different from South American or South Asian coffees, so try several until you find a flavor profile that you really like.

>>13878969
I have no idea why you'd ever get a hand grinder

reminder: the milk on the bottom is literally just there to make it more grammable
the mixture doesn't mix into the milk and is thick enough to eat with a spoon like a mousse. It's by no means a beverage

>>13877529
a basic recipe doesn't need any of that.
>get a small bowl, metal or plastic
>6 grams instant coffee
>20 grams sugar (granulated or white)
>20 grams boiling water
get a frothing metal whisk and whisk it for ages by hand until it foams up.
pour some milk into a cup with some ice then top it with the foam.
If you want to use a blender you will probably need to double or even triple the ingredients to make it work. also be careful of how much you have as instant coffee is apparently extremely strong compared to regular coffee.

Black dregs from the family morning pot that was made 8 hours ago, microwaved at 60sec. Two spoons of sugar. 5mm of half and half. Just right.

>>13877709
it's just an extremely aerated mixture, like making whipped cream.

>>13873299
Just tried it after seeing this thread, I've made it with a fresh espresso from ground coffee. It's pretty good, but also very fatty

>>13873299
Has anyone tried mixing in fats other than milkfat?
Does Olive Oil work?

Tried the dalgona coffee meme
It's strong stuff but the fact that one cup has like 30g of sugar is kinda a turnoff to me
Managed about half a cup, wouldn't do it again

>>13879202
I thought Hoffman said you couldn't use espresso cause science reasons?

>>13873299
Slperged at my local coffee shop and got a doppio with lavender bitters. Pretty good, but I can see this being better with some milk added. Lavender had a strong floral bite that was mellowed by the espresso. I have some orange bitters I've been wanting to use, so I'm going to try that today while I make some ice for dalgona tomorrow.

>>13879381
Legit coconut milk is good.

>>13873299
I thought pic related is Hong Kong beaten sweet coffee...

>>13873299
I dunno what dalgona is.

But I bought an espresso pot for the stove after my brother got one recently. I bought the same one he did in fact. I followed his instructions for how he makes it but for the life of me I can't figure out why the espresso at his place tastes better, we are using the same brand even.

:/ is it one of those cases where it's just nicer because you're not making it for yourself?

>>13880344
>>13873299
Not bad. More smell than flavor. The lavender doppio I had was much stronger; though that was a shot and not 9oz diluted moka.

>>13873299
>tfw I brought the dalgona meme cancer into /ck/ and now it's completely metastasized

>>13873334
Based

>>13873299
Could someone recc me a good brand/model of ground coffee? I don't like robusta much and I'm using a moka pot

>>13873299
Also is this nibba any good?

>>13878993
Value,portability, functional anywhere regardless of an outlet, quieter, significantly less maintenance, generally better aligned out of the factory, they last longer.

I don't see why anyone who's not running a cafe or brewing for a family of 16 would get an electric.

>>13880912
It was okay. I use the container to store my coffee now since I don't like the bag/clip method.

>>13880962
Just okay? That's a bit disappointing. I could buy a Lavazza for half the price if I wanted okay coffee.

>>13880971
>Just okay?
Yea, but I used it in a pour over Chemex, and I'm pretty sure it is meant to be used when making espresso.

>>13873299
>make dalgona
>operate as if it is any other whippped topping
>put in fridge with plastic wrap inside metal bowl it was mixed in
>Next day it has separated into three layers
>Weird extra air slightly coffee flavored foam
>Weird thick and gooey mass, almost like a watered down pudding
>Both floating above a puddle of actual coffee that had leeched back to a liquid state
The dalgona is good iced when you make it but I now know I have to use the whole batch that day since it doesn't keep.

is a $200 hand grinder (lido, kinu, etc) really superior to an entry-level $150 automatic grinder (baratza)?

i'm ready to upgrade my grinder game from my entry-level porlex mini because i'm no longer enjoying grinding for 2 minutes straight

i just sat down to buy either a kinu m47 phoenix or a lido 3 but i just remembered that automatic grinders exist and i don't think i appreciate the ritual of hand grinding coffee every day

>>13881137
>is a $200 hand grinder (lido, kinu, etc) really superior to an entry-level $150 automatic grinder (baratza)?
Yes but the Lido is a piece of shit

>>13881145
>Yes
how much do you have to spend on an automatic grinder to match the quality of a $200 manual grinder?
>the Lido is a piece of shit
why's that? i've read fine reviews. i'm looking for something that grinds fast which i understand means i want something with big burrs

>>13881004
Maybe adding gelatin will stabilize it

>>13881004
whipped cream/meringue can keep thier shape due to the proteins/fats that can maintain the structure. Dalgona lacks both. Honestly wondering why the normal recipe has you whip it with water, heavy cream or egg whites would be better

>>13881160
They're extremely shittily aligned. My lido 2(original with italmill burrs) completely stripped its shaft out of the burr after a few months. After the runaround with customer support, they sent me another with etzinger burrs. Lidos are only in the conversation because a few years ago they were the only "espresso" capable grinder at the price point. The market quickly surpassed them and now they make overpriced plastic junk. Hopefully the anon who couldn't return his lido to amazon will chime in. Guy fucking hates that grinder. Get a kinu, a helor, or a commandante with redclix.

>>13881315
i don't really know what alignment or the context of that all is but after doing some more reading i've decided to get a kinu m47 phoenix

>>13873299
I don't care what meme tier it reaches, it's damn light, and tasty over ice cold milk.

>>13881315
Every passing day I must suffer grinding coffee in my Lido 3, my failure looking me in the face the entire time. It never gets better. That massive obelisk of a grinder sitting on my shelf is a permanent monument to my failure and a lesson in humility.

>>13881365
The goal is getting the most consistent grind you can. If your upper burr is kicked up on one side, even slightly, you're not getting as consistent of a grind. You can use the best burrs on the market, but if they're not aligned properly, why bother? Good choice on the kinu, I'm thinking about picking up the pourover burrs for mine soon.

>>13876996
Pretty hard to whisk that small a volume. You're better off making a larger batch and only using some of it.
