I forgot to COOOOOOOOOF REEEEEEE

Copped this today. Was gonna get another ethiopian, but roast date was slightly too old for my liking so i went with this instead. I like it. Next time I'm probably gonna get the other one though.I enjoy coffee with floral, tea like notes. Fruity is good too. Just moved from NYC to Seattle. Still shopping around for a good roaster. I do V60 pourover.

>>14775921
Do all of the various coffee roasters get their ethiopian yigrochef or jamaican blue mountain or sumatra from the same wholesalers?

Also I just bought a $100 espresso machine and ive never had it before

>>14776454
Maybe. I'm sure there are some big wholesale coffee companies in play that we, as consumers, don't know or care about. I personally don't care about whole sellers. I buy coffee based off of tasting notes that i think i will like. Most of the times the descriptors are BS. But once in a blue moon, the printed tasting notes really come out. I just moved to a new city so my go-to isn't available besides shipping and I don't want to pay for shipping/waiting 3-5 days for coffee. Picrel, my old go to coffee. Luh dat shit.

How do i avoid my drip coffee being acidic?

>>14776578

Grind size, roast, temperature, pour rate (if pour over)

>>14776634
but most importantly, roast level

>>14775723
do i have to clean my grinder between new roasts? I just brush it.

>>14775723
I'm preparing an epic meal rn
Mac and cheese with extra extra extra cheese and sour cream seasoned with peperika and cumin and coffee cream
And drenched in soi sauce (maybe even some plumb)
Then I'll serve it to myself with a butter brewed starbucks coffee that has a respectable amount of coffee cream and tiny bit of cinnamon in it.

Im a simple person not willing to spend big bucks (or even small bucks really) on a machine but is a french press any better than a $10 Mr. Coffee? Like at all?

>>14777393
A $1 kitchen funnel for pour over is better than a $10 Mr. Coffee.

>>14775723
Does anyone else make their coffee manually and without a machine?
I just buy coffee filters double layer them put the coffee grounds in it then pour hot water over it
Let it steep for 10 minutes then drain it into the cup by lifting it up.
Why don't more people do this?
It's super easy so long as your using a teacup.

>>14777411
I did this shit when the power was out. During blackouts or when no one could afford to pay the electric bill. It's a very poverty thing to do but you're right about it being easy with the right setup

>>14777314
Depends on the grinder. Are you using a commercial one in a store or a hand grinder at home? They need different levels of maintenance as some will retain more fines than others.
Generally, give it a seeing to every once in a while.

Morning lads, how's everyone's brew going?

THAT FUCKING FEEL WHEN YOU MAKE THE MOST DELICIOUS POUROVER FOR THE FIRST TIME AND CANT REPRODUCE IT AGAIN

FUCK

>>14777411
As long as your grinds are nice and coarse, this shouldn't be a problem. It's essentially cold brew you're making but over a shorter period of time. You should consider buying a French press.
>>14777726
Sucks man, I'm only practicing, but I know that feel. What's different? Is your draw down taking too long? You might be choking the bed with fines.

Making a big batch of V60. Wish me luck.

>>14777720
>Morning lads, how's everyone's brew going?
I've been dialing in this light roast nicaraguan maragogipe and god damn i've not been able to extract the sweetness to balance out the acidity despite going down 8 clicks from my usual v60 grind starting setting. Drawdown is still pretty reasonable so I should go finer but since I only drink a big cup a day it's been 5 days of lowering the grind setting. There's nothing more annoying than getting to half your bag without dialing it in properly.

>>14777411
>pour hot water over it
thats called a pour over my dude

>>14777737
It could be your water. Try a higher temperature, lighter roasts aren't as willing to let coffee extract at lower temps. How acidic are we talking? Does it taste like lemon floor cleaner?
>>14777742
That's what I thought at first, be he said he's letting it steep in the water. I might have to try it out for shits and giggles.

Yeah, 36g of coffee is way too much for a no.2 V60. I'm only starting my draw down now, and it's 4:30 in. Gonna stick to 18g batches from now on.

>>14777777
poopoo peepee

>>14777777
The thread is blessed

>>14777777

>>14777777
Kek wills it. Only 18g batches from now on.

>>14777777
>It could be your water
Probably, I have a brita filter but one of the hardest waters in europe so it probably doesn't do enough. I'm not wasteful enough to buy a bottled water to brew even if it's superior.
>higher temperature
I always brew at 95C, even with medium roasts I only lower it to fiddle once i've dialed it in a bit.
>How acidic are we talking? Does it taste like lemon floor cleaner?
Nah it's not that bad, just not optimal. I like acidity in my coffee but not a sour bland under extracted cup. I guess lightly roasted giant beans are just harder to extract.
>Yeah, 36g of coffee is way too much for a no.2 V60. I'm only starting my draw down now, and it's 4:30 in. Gonna stick to 18g batches from now on.
I go from 15g-30g, usually 20g/333ml, when i'm brewing 30g I usually grind a bit coarser to improve the drawdown and account for the increased thermal mass.

Also, nice digits.

>>14775723

>drinking mudwater
>not drinking ceylon tea with lemon and honey

I drink Community Coffee--medium roast. I do 8 table spoons and use 8 "cups" of water in my faithful and trusty, Mr. Coffee. When it's done brewing, I turn off the heating plate and drink it black.

How much of a pleb am I?

>>14777777

>french press
how long until I start pouring/drinking?

some say 6-7 min

Help lads, I'm using a local blend in a v60 but it's very bitter

>Wet paper with hot water
>Pour 30g water to bloom the 15g coffee
>swirl, leave for 30s
>Pour the next 120g water slowly over the next 30s
>Swirl again
>Pour the remaining 100g water slowly over the next 30s
>Stir with spoon both ways
>Wait until I can see the grounds, then stop
>Swirl coffee in cup with spoon

What am I doing wrong here? I've adjusted my grind by a click coarser but it's just as bitter as before. Any ideas?

>>14777804
What use is 18g anon? Seems too high for one and too low for two

got a mr coffee a few days ago. I always have half a coffee pot left over because I live alone. what can I do with this?

>>14777973
You can save it for the next day and reheat. You can ice it and have ice coffees. You can freeze it into cubes and use it for post-dinner cocktails once in a blue moon, or you can cook with it.

Plants like grounds every now and then, but not so much the coffee itself.

>>14777972
I usually do 18g of coffee with 230g of water and have a total yield of 200g of coffee. It's a nice ratio and a good size for one

>>14777953
What grinder are you using and how long has the coffee sat past roast date?

Can't wait to start roasting my own beans. Thanks Japan!

>>14778288
A Hario Mini Mill Plus and about two weeks

>>14778399
why is this so expensive? What is better about this vs pic
Im using a popcorn roaster and am looking for an upgrade. This looks good but not for $200-250

>>14777726
Iktf that's why I gave up on v60

>>14777867
About 4/5 minutes. Once you have a set grind, it's all about keeping track of how much water you use, the temp and how long you brew for. Just write it down as you go.
>>14777953
You're over extracting, try using a lower water temperature. Also, how long is your draw down?
>>14778411
Hold the grinder flat on a counter, it'll give you better grind consistency.
>>14778421
Have you tried modifying it? Adding a voltage regulator to the power line for the heading element and getting a thermocouple/wired thermometer? It'll give you more consistency.

>>14777777
Checked

I'm new to pour over. Is this a good looking coffee bed?

>>14778501
>How long is your draw down?
This is after all the water has been put in right? I usually top up from 150 to 250 when I can see the grounds, then from 250 until no more water is about another 45-60s

>>14778421
Buy a tc4+. Wire it into your popper. When the heating element finally blows out in your popper, decide if you want another $20 popper, or if you want to build something custom off the tc4+ platform.

>>14778578
what type of grinder are you using?
looks like a lot of fines

>>14778710
A hario mini slim. I'm planning on upgrading to a kinu, but they're all sold out at the moment

>>14778578
Looks good man.
>>14778625
Draw down doesn't seem to be an issue if it's talking that long. Try messing around with a slightly lower water temp or by making the grind coarser again. With some more medium to dark roasts, you want to have it under 90C.

I'm taking a nasty fucking shit thanks to some morning coffee. anyone else cleansing their bowels this fine morning? discuss your caffeine induced shits ITT.

>>14778742
Hold the grinder flat to a counter top whilst grinding, it'll give you much better results. Did a good job making sure no bigger pieces were stuck higher up the filter.

Also, thinking of signing up to Barista Hustle, anyone got any experience with it?

>>14778766
I ate some pizza while lactose intolerant yesterday and that mixed with caffeine shits was a very unpleasant start to the day. Other than that I've been wanting to throw up after every meal I eat and that only started once I upped my caffeine intake again. Going to have to cut back if this keeps up.

>>14775723
Complete coffee beginner here - other than in the past going to the grocery store and grabbing something because it had a neat sounding flavor. Anyone willing to help me out with a few basic questions? I've tried googling stuff, and trying to figure out what would be best for me is a pain in the ass. I'm looking for:

>ground coffee
>something stronger than your average cup, without being Death Wish Coffee strong
>something with low acidity
>good taste without being "chocolate java mint peanut-brittle Christmas flavor"

I had a can of Folgers on my fridge that I used for like six months. I need to do better, and buying sugar free redbulls is killing my wallet. Help me /ck/

>>14779127
>ground coffee
Would recommend grinding yourself at home, but if you can't just make sure it's in an air tight container and kept out of sunlight.
>something stronger than your average cup, without being Death Wish Coffee strong
If by strong you mean caffeine content, lighter roasts have more or it than darker roasts. Darker roasts extract easier and taste "stronger" as a result.
>something with low acidity
Dark roasts. If your dark roast is acidic, you have under extracted and need to brew a bit longer.
>good taste without being "chocolate java mint peanut-brittle Christmas flavor"
Stop buying coffee in Winners. Visit your local coffee shop.(Not like Starbucks, Insomnia, Costa, Tim Hortans Etc) Somewhere that roasts their own stuff and ask them what they got for dark or medium-dark. If you ask nicely you might be able try it out before you buy it.

Other than that, what are you brewing at home? Just regular drip?

>>14779209
My wife got us a Cuisinart coffee maker, regular drip as far as I know.

I appreciate the advice. I guess I should have been more specific, and please don't do the shit people always do in specialty threads and go "if you're gonna do that just fucking go to McDonald's" or whatever similar analogy, I'm trying to get in to coffee, not start a new hobby. If I find a few that I love, down the road I wouldn't mind. Right now I'm at beginner stage. So, more specifically:

I'm looking for coffee grounds that are easy to buy (like Amazon), have a decent mount of caffeine without being meme-levels, a good flavor (probably not your standards, look at it from my POV drinking Folgers) that isn't just comprised of additives and artificial flavors, and something that will work well with the before-mentioned coffee maker.

I understand I'm asking to have my hand held, but with all the enthusiasts here I figured there would be a couple recommendations for a ground coffee that is strong with a naturally decent flavor.

>>14779209
I also don't know what a Winners is, and I don't live in an area that has a local coffee shop that sells coffee. There aren't a lot of mustache wax emporiums in my town either

Drinking Four Sigmatic to help me study. Honestly believe this shit makes me smarter

>>14779340
>>14779329
There's a fair few people here that want their coffee like that, so don't worry. Saying that, someone else may have better advice than me. A surprisingly good supermarket coffee is McDonald's and 7-11, it's difficult to recommend something better at that price point.That's not me saying that in the grand scheme of things, they're good coffees. Should be able to find it on amazon though. Are you in the states or Canada?

>>14779329
>coffee grounds that are easy to buy
starbucks or any other grocery store brand that comes in a bag (not some kind of bucket) and doesn't have any natural/artificial flavors added will be a big upgrade over folgers, I prefer their blonde roasts.
if you want more caffeine use more coffee grounds or drink more coffee. your other option is to use robusta beans, which have more caffeine but most people think they taste worse than arabica. people will argue over dark vs light roast caffeine content, but I haven't see any actual data on the subject.
for your coffee maker, make sure to use quality water and don't leave the carafe on the hot plate. then it's just a matter of adjusting the coffee and water ratio to your taste.

>>14779329
I like the amazon "Just Bright" and columbian coffee. Hate the donut shop blend. I used to buy it ground for my drip coffee maker but I eventually upgraded to whole bean and tried some other stuff.

2nd to last shot of that high end blend I roasted up. EXTREMELY good. Bright, sweet, syrupy fruits with just a touch of bitterness at the end, probably from the slightly more developed roast. Might nudge the grind a llllllllittle finer to see what happens later tonight.

>We're very excited to start shipping the Sifter soon. The main Sifter body and sieve components have finished production and now we're waiting on final packaging and assembly.

save up more and get a 1zpresso or a timemore model. You will get much much better grind and build quality relative to the price increase .

I did it. I spent more money on coffee shit. I had some relatively lightly roasted stuff, and that pressure gauge helped get it right. Should I have put the temperature strip somewhere else?

>>14780576
Forgot image

>>14780559
For the price of a 1zpresso, might as well stump up the rest and get a comandante

>>14780586
Noice. Always loved gabor's gauge. I actually forgot to put on a temp strip on my order and I don't really need anything from flair, so I can't justify ordering just a strip.

>>14780229
What grinder do you use?

>>14780615
From all I've heard the JX Pro stacks up nicely to the Commandante. I thought about both and got the 1zpresso because of the all steel body and smaller circumference.

>>14780027

I've had my espresso machine for about two years, and I'm still enjoying the process, the daily espresso, and incremental upgrades. Manual espresso >>14780586

The strip isn't super useful, really more of a novelty. The gauge is very useful though.

I just stick a javelin pro duo down into the chamber when I want to record.

>>14780027
If you have $1k+ for a decent entry level grinder and machine, yes.

>>14780255
It seems to do it's job like it's supposed. And the moving parts seem that they don't break easily, so quality. Was a pain in the ass to grind it though. But that must be because I ground the coffee into dust :D More coarse next time.

>>14780554
Sure. Turns into gremlin if it gets wet. Eh. Just had to do the first cleaning up before using it.

I'm looking for a new coffee machine with an budget of 200€. I'v only ever drank filtered coffee so I have no experience or knowledge about grinders or brands. I'm assuming bean coffee would taste the best?

Phillips HD7767 is about 179.99, is it any good? Maybe get a separate grinder and a brewer?

Aeropress makes sense for me. Would love to have a space that can take an espresso machine though.
*sigh*

>>14780027
If you'll actually use, know how to, and have the equipment to take advantage of it, then yes it is.
You should cost it out before hand and be serious about it.
>>14777838
The first step to having better coffee is knowing that you aren't having the best to begin with. Crack out a scales and start weighing your coffee and water. After that, ensure that you have adequate storage for your coffee. Air tight container out of sunlight. Mr Coffee makes a pour over setup as far as I'm aware if you ever wanted to get frisky.
>>14782862
Some people just hate having money and love having something that gathers dust on their counter top to point towards. I really doubt that someone who would buy this knows a thing about espresso.
>>14782858
Not sure about this, is your current one broken or is this a want, not a need purchase?

>>14783186
It's broke so I need to get a new one, I'v done coffee the traditional way in the meantime

>>14775723
>What ya drinking?
Water, and occasionally tea. Coffee is actual poison and anyone who pretends to enjoy the taste is a coping caffeine addict.
Imagine consciously ingesting something that is widely known to be terrible for you. Who even creates these godforsaken threads lmao.

Thoughts on these new Starbucks cans?

Target app has them for 40% off + another $2 off. I also got a $2.50 rebate thru that app Ibotta, so I basically paid only $2.70 for the whole package. Figured I’d give it a try.

>>14780027
I hope so. My fiancé and I put this model on our wedding registry

>>14779329
I like Laughing Man Coffee. It’s a coffee company started by Hugh Jackman. This blend is currently $8 on Amazon.

I dont drink coffee often and when I do it's stuff that my mum makes with tetly teabags(I think it was orange pekoe), nestle instant coffee, a lotta milk(the evaporated no name with the cow on it) and sugar for me.
I'm litteral baby, but it tastes good when warm or cold and that's all I want since I cant drink hot drinks without getting fucked for the rest of the week.
But today I tried workplace coffee since it was my duty today, boiled the water in an electric kettle, put the coffee in the machine with single filter, let it happen, added 2 sugar to mine, some 1%milk from the fridge, some French vanilla cream also from the fridge, and then i tasted mine.
That shit was awful, it tasted like water with a third of a coffee crisp dunked in it.
Now im not sure if i fucked up, or the workplace shit is bad, the old timers here won't really give a crap, but its a slight brand of shame not being able to make a decent instant coffee.
How do i make it gooder for my own pride and future experiences?

>>14783739
Use Hario V60 Size 03 (up to 6 cups) to make coffee then pour it into the drip coffee machine server. Do it twice if the coffee machine makes a lot more than six cups.

>>14783706
We bought this model for a friend of ours for his wedding. It was kind of a four-person gift. Dude fucking loves it. Uses it every day.

I really can't find any info on the Phillips so I'm assuming it's someway shitty.

What's the best grinder and brewer combo for 200€ max?

>>14779329
Brands like Illy, Lavazza and Peet’s are pretty decent for your typical grocery coffee. You can find them at most grocery stores and Target. Whole Foods‘ Allegro line is also pretty good. I personally like light and medium roasts for the taste and the extra caffeine kick.

>>14782862

>>14783674
My first question would be how do they vent as the coffee degasses?

Got some grean beans in for the popcorn roaster. Just waiting on one or two more pieces before I can start.

>>14783739
You have a way you like coffee, there's nothing wrong with that. That doesn't mean it's good coffee.
Loblaws coffee ain't great for starters, adding vanilla cream, sugar and milk is going to fuck with whatever you put it in. Way too much sweetness going on inside that cup.
What you could try out, is the next time you brew it up, leave yours to cool a bit, because of what you said about hot drinks. Then give it a taste. Identify what in your mind is wrong with it the same way you would whilst cooking. Too bitter? Ok, what will milk do to fix that that sugar won't? And vice versa.

Do you ever have drip coffee or milk and espresso drinks from a cafe? If it's too hot you can always ask for it to be cooler.

Just chiming in with a general reminder of buy once cry once.

>>14783951
I'll try that next time, but i think its the water they use in the facility, tastes quite different from my home water, probably cause its a healthcare facility.
Never had cafe coffee, but when we go on roadtrips and stop at tim hortons, I get a French vanilla or English toffee, let it sit in the cup holder, sleep or listen to music on my phone, and right as we get to our destination or when i get thirsty I down that cold son of a bitch.
But yeah not being able to into hot drinks is fucking awful, coldest day of the year, we go for hot chocolate after outdoor activities , and i cant enjoy it or get warm without cause harm to myself, so i stay cold until the room heating permeates my bones.

This place has a bunch of locations across NYC. Can anyone tell me if their prices seem ok? Anything interesting or unusual I should get when I go?

not sure why that guy always hates on the aeropress, nobody thinks it makes espresso and compared to a v60 you don't have to worry about your pouring technique much.

I've always had trouble

>pouring water

>>14783988
I went straight into it with the Flair Signature, Lido E manual grinder, an OXO electric kettle, and Jennings CJ-4000 scale.

I've upgraded to the Niche Zero grinder, and I got Gabor's pressure gauge for the Flair. I want a better scale though. The Flair and Kettle I'm going to keep for some time.

>>14785286
most people use specialty kettles for pourovers which is proof that pouring technique is important for v60. are you trying to imply that it isn't?

>>14785323
That shit is pretty hard to get right. I'm doing it on a regular electric kettle with a triangle spout and it is really difficult to control my flow rate.

roasted up some guat gesha
first thing I noticed was that there were hardly any quakers, I think I took out like 3 beans total
brewed a cup and damn, this shit is good. the sweet hibiscus tea note is so strong it's hard to believe I'm drinking coffee. plus it has a bit of that guatemalan flavor that I like. glad I ordered 10lbs of this.

My Kinu M47 is grinding inconsistently. Like, really inconsistently. I see boulders at the top of my puck after pulling a shot. It’s like a year old so the burrs shouldn’t be going, anything I can do?

I got some creamy blueberry beans from Ecuador, they are great, I've never seen creamy notes before.

If I'm getting a gooseneck it's going to be variable temp. I'd rather save up for the convenience of a good electric kettle while developing my motor skills than get a stovetop one now.

>>14786036
Yeah I mean, just buy a stagg.

>>14784998
Report back. Here's a little finca el retiro washed caturra I just roasted up. 125g in 109.5g out. Roasted it to 409f.

>>14785776
Looks fucking delish. I've always loved the floral tea like notes in some lighter roasts. I just finished some ethiopian that tasted like orange blossom tea at first crack.

>>14786036
your motor skills probably won't transfer to the gooseneck.

I'm also starting to think the variable temp kettle is useless, since I always use off-the-boil water nowadays. I've used a variable temp gooseneck kettle for like 8 years now but I might just downgrade to some piece of shit electric kettle or even boil water on the stove because it's kinda lame to have a fancy kettle just for pourovers.

>>14786036
There isn't much point to variable temp goosenecks since most good coffee is going to be light enough that it gets the best extraction from straight off boil water

>>14786145
Not that anon, but use the same kettle for all my household needs, so having variable temp is nice for when I want tea, hot coco, or chicken bullion or something like that

>>14785787
have you been regularly cleaning the burrs?

>>14785338
Are you sure the problem isn't with your grinds?

Would a coffee sieve to filter out fines benefit my Aeropress at all? I know how to make my own I just wonder if it actually does anything when you use paper filters already.

>>14786476
channeling, clogging and fines in the cup aren't really issues with the aeropress so it would mostly be a matter of taste.
you might be able to get a cleaner cup from grinding finer and sieving since the grind distribution would be tighter.
you could also sieve out the boulders and regrind them. but it all sounds pretty wasteful to me.

>pourover
>dark roast
>medium fine grind
>80 degrees celsius
>bitter
Should I go coarser? started brewing yesterday though so I don't know what constitutes a good cup of coffee.

Timemores on Prima? What has the world come to?

>>14786836
Turns out Timemore's burrs are actually quite good.

>>14786134
>>14786145
I'm on the same lime of thought as this anon >>14786197
I do some tea so it would be great to have it adjustable. Also it's nice to be able to leave the kettle unattended for a bit.

>>14786846
yeah when they're not misaligned lmao

>>14786846
I've been shilling them here for the past year or so. Hope the filteronly bros in the states look into them more now that they're a bit more accessible.

That Breville is perfect for the 99% of people who are not autists like us. I've used it a lot when I visit my parents and I have nothing to complain about.

opinions on decaf?

I have no idea whether I've ever brewed a good cup of coffee or not.
I mean, it tastes better than the shit I get from local coffee shops, but I don't know whether they're just shit or not.

>>14786407
Yeah, in fact I just cleaned it again two nights ago, still happens.

>>14787368
I don't like it desu, part of what makes coffee so great is the caffiene hit

>>14786836
>>14786846
>>14786978
I've had better pourovers from a timemore slim compared to a wilfa svart.

>>14787368
>All decaf is created equal, but some decaf are more equal than others.
The problem is, baristas typically don't give a shit about their decaf grinders or the coffee in them. That's not to say the roaster doesn't. Café Artigiano in Vancouver has better decaf coffee than most other cafes espresso. Try Swiss water decaf if you can find it, only two places in the world decaffeinate coffee using it, one in Switzerland and the other in Burnaby Vancouver.
>>14786809
Coarser. Post a pic of any of the whole beans if you have them.
>>14786134
I thought that it wouldn't make much of a difference, but I've immediately noticed the difference in my brews since I got mine. I brew most of my darker mediums sub 85 now and the difference is staggering.
>>14786105
How does one know if those beans are Kenyan or dehydrated? My last job interview made me try to identify the defects in coffee beans and this was one of the questions they asked me.

Gonna brew my first roast ever lads

>Brew a pot of coffee and put it in my thermos for working my 3rd shift job.
>Get so frustrated and aggravated with all the stupid jackasses, I don't even have a cup
>End up drinking in the next night because it's still pleasantly warm.
Does anyone else simply love their thermos?

Does coffee ever make you nauseous? I have used coffee pods of various brands for years, like a decade. And for the last 2, my coffee makes me sick sometimes and idk why. Like nauseous. Could it be

A. developed some sort of sensitivity
B. Its normal on an empty stomach
C. something wrong with the machine itself like mold?

have never cleaned the machine out but it looks clean and i live in a clean home. I notice when I sip on the black coffee its usually fine, but if i drink it at a coca cola pace it makes me feel queasy now. whats up with this so suddenly?

>>14788437
How do you live with yourself, knowing that you have such a faggy spoon?

>>14783988
Is the Aeropress better than the french press in your opinion?

Looking at getting some decent coffee when I move soon, been thinking about getting an Aeropress and a Baratza Virtuoso+.
My only concern with the aeropress is when I need to make a couple cups at once when entertaining, but I figure getting a larger french press might be fine for that.

>>14788463
When it's not on the cup it looks ridiculous.
Brew wasn't that bad otherwise, but my god there was a lot of CO2. Draw down again killing me. 1:30 to finish the draw down. Coarser grind next time.

>>14788472
It looks ridiculous on the cup, too, I assure you.

>>14788463
It's pretty obvious they're a fag with the spongebob pajamas.

but i want to wake up? also got a massive migraine

>>14788517
Just wondering why you haven't drank one in three days is all. Caffeine addiction is a bitch, not sure if decaf would even offer a placebo either.

>>14784251
Bumping my request :)

>>14775723
Milk and that's it. Simple as.

>>14788534
ran out until i can get another also yea i read that wrong about to take it down in a few

How does your home-brew coffee taste like?

>>14788487
is that safe for the machine? So in the removeable plastic tray you fill with water, you just load it up with vinegar and press the coffee button without putting a pod in?

>>14788500
can you explain what descaling is?

>>14788611
dont use alot of vinegar just a dash and water, run plain water through after to clean up left over vinegar

>>14788630
how often should you do that for your machine? i feel like we have had this one for like half a decade.

>>14788644
whenever you think it may be dirty so depends how much you drink, any time you brew a little oil gets layered on and builds so add it up

>>14788663
i use the machine on average once a day id say. Sometimes 2 or 3 times sometimes none. So that is a rough average. Oil from what?

>>14788693
from the beans
try once every weekend since it's not only you and frequent, also this may be annoying if others dont do it even after they find you doing it now

>>14788702
dude holy fuck. You think I should do it once a week? that cant be right. I must be drinking pure oil at this rate.

>>14788727
if you drink that much and others do assumedly yea, it's really not that much maintenance, i rinse my keurig strainer with a dab of dish soap every single use and that's not even that much because im washing other things at that time too

How can one company run out of fucking Edinboro, Pennsylvania be so incredibly based?

The mainline stuff is pretty good while being super cheap, and the special mug 8/10 time is top tier at mid tier prices

>>14788820
roasting to order? no try-hard boutique-designed branding? ships fast? how do they do it?

I picked up a cup from the local mom and pop taco chain. They're also the local chain of butchers under a different name, but their supplier is sysco. This is some of the best colombian medium roast I've ever had. Sipping it black and it has hints of chocolate.

i don't understand the problem with a long drawdown, as long as my coffee isn't coming out over extracted what's the problem?
A long draw down gives me plenty of time to make some breakfast and settle into a comfy chair

>>14789142
Based off Scott Rao's observations a slow drawdown is an issue because of the loss of temperature over time. Not exactly sure of the implications of this but it may mean inconsistent extraction between the initial pours and the drawdown, resulting in a mix of flavors on both ends of the spectrum.

>>14789142

>>14786809
dark roasts are shit

>>14788820
Given their name you'd think they'd be faggy hipsters but HM is straight to the point. You have to respect it in an age where every company wants to be flamboyant to attract customers.

I got the prismo attachment for aeropress the other day, I highly recommend it. it makes the aeropress way more usable since you don't have to deal with the inverted method, and there's no dripping. only downside is that it costs as much as the aeropress itself.

>burgers talking about coffee with all this fancy and useless shit
cringe desu. just boil your shit on water and the drink it

>>14788625
It's the process of removing any calcium build up inside the machine but it can also flush out any other nasties in your plumbing.
>>14788644
Every few months, depending on how hard your water is or if you think there's mold inside the pipes.
>>14788931
Sounds comfy
>>14789351
There's a difference taste wise depending if you brew inverted? Too lazy to look it up, what have you noticed?
>>14788543
They don't leave the coffee out in the open like that, do they?

Serious question here. If I stop drinking coffee will it help my stomach? I'm a long-time IBS sufferer (alcoholism), had my gallbladder removed and now my new meds are giving me stomach issues too. I hate that it has come to this but I'm tired of running to the washroom after anything I eat.

>>14789535
You could try drinking darker coffee in more moderate amounts. Dark roasts are less acidic than lighter one. After that, not sure what you can do apart from a total diet change to allow the acidity from coffee.

>>14789588
Man, I was afraid you would say that. I fucking hate getting old.

>>14789694
I'm no doctor, just some random anon on an anime image board who's using what little coffee knowledge he has to make a guess. Have a chat with a dietitian or your GP to identify where you're getting the most acidity in your diet and see if you can move some things around to make room for coffee.

>>14789419
I haven't been. I'll let you know.

>>14789419
>There's a difference taste wise depending if you brew inverted? Too lazy to look it up, what have you noticed?
inverted just prevents any dripping before you press. that initial drip doesn't taste great. I stopped brewing inverted after finding out the hard way that the plunger wears out over time.
so it's more of a usability improvement for me. I use this technique and now I don't have to mess around with the plunger to stop the dripping.
vimeo.com/16261120
another nice thing is that you can brew without setting it on top of a mug.

>>14789919
Never thought that it'd wear out the seal. Maybe that's why mine will barely move. I've just been making sure the whole thing is rinsed out and wet before I brew.

single or multiple post bloom pours via V60? seems like the japs prefer multiple but i get much sweeter cups doing a single continuous pour like the hoffmeister

>>14790088
I do 1 pour but in 2 or 3 parts. Like I'll pour at one speed for 30sec, then slow down and pour at a different speed

>>14790088
Multiple pours is a meme

>>14790088
I like matt perger's recipe which uses 2 pours after the bloom. Makes sweet coffee ime but I haven't really tried others.

Tried roasting again, did 80g in and got 70g out. Took 6 minutes to reach the first crack but I had to turn off the popper because the smoke alarm in my room went off. I think that's why it's a bit uneven compared to my last one.

>>14790565
You're in the uk right? You can snag a tc4+ from mattias and get it in a few days.

Do you use a mug heater? Which one? I like to drink coffee stupidly hot, like 60-70 C but I don't want to pay out my ass for such a simple device

>>14790950
No. I like the way some coffees go through lovely flavor transitions from hot to warm to room temp. When I was young I thought keeping coffee hot to warm at all times was important. As I grew older I realized it actually degrades the flavors. I'd rather drink cold coffee than reheated coffee or coffee kept warm for longer than 20 minutes.

>>14788468
If you make the traditional aeropress concentrate you never need a french press. If someone is a coffee snob when you invite them into your home, you shouldn't have them over again. Besides, most people will be genuinely surprised at how good original recipe aeropress coffee tastes. Just find the right agitation time for your beans and grind size.
Follow up batches are also lightning fast, as is cleaning.

>>14795004
>genuinely surprised at how good original recipe aeropress coffee tastes

for the same price. The planet is fucked, don't perpetuate companies producing needless plastic waste.

>>14795242
There is literally no reason to ever use an aeropress when a pourover mug is cheaper and better in every way

>>14795542
I've been told pourover is weaker

>>14795542
nah I'm pretty sure you are wrong.
>cheaper
again, pourovers require careful pouring. so you better pony up for a nice kettle.
>better
pourovers are sensitive to grind distribution and can clog up with fines. aeropress doesn't have that problem. you can brew with any grind size, just stir more/less or change the steep time. good luck doing that with a pourover.
aeropress comes in a travel-friendly form factor, pourover cones do not.

What percolator will not rot and corrode in the water chamber? the last one I got at aldis had some weird reactions down there

>>14795596
Oh okay so you're just a retard who wants a machine that a monkey could operate. Cool. Aeropress is useless shit for anyone with an IQ over 80 though.

Nice and clean. Is it stoneware?

>>14795626

>>14795761
I'm not sure, I just needed a better cup, my current selection is not very appealing

>>14795723
Have you ever considered that maybe you don't actually like coffee if you aren't willing to put any effort into making it properly? Retards like you are the primary market for podshit. Maybe you should try that since it seems to be more your speed.

i bought some of this at Costco, it tastes pretty bad :^)

>>14795814
Is an aeropress capable of brewing good coffee?

>>14795856
Is a Keurig capable of brewing good coffee?

>>14795856
No, not really. People like them because the estrogen from the plastic turns them into trannies and ruins their brains.

>>14795814
I roast my own beans and have used all the popular brewing methods extensively including podshit. aeropress is the method I keep coming back to.
have you considered that your hatred might be irrational?
also you're not really convincing anyone that v60 is better by calling me a retard or questioning my enthusiasm. I'll consider this a win for the aeropress since you seem to have run out of actual arguments.
>>14795856
yes, currently drinking a dry processed burundi that I brewed while making breakfast at the same time. it's sweet and fruity, and stronger than a v60 brew.

>>14795880

You're not wrong.

>>14795880
Its a toy. Just stop you're embarrassing yourself.

>questioning my enthusiasm

LOL.

okay just to summarize

arguments against aeropress
>it costs money
>it is made out of plastic which turns you into a tranny
>it's a "toy"
>there are other brew methods you can use to make coffee
>it's made by a frisbee company

am I missing anything?

>>14796027
I don't want to give money to shills who astroturf the food and cooking board on my anime website.

isn't the recommended v60 cone made out of plastic anyway? lmao

>>14796027
Immersion methods use more beans than flow-though (pour over) methods.

>>14796027
Going to throw this guy a bone, I don't care if it tastes good or not.
The instructions shipped with the aeropress on how to brew, show a method that doesn't work as intended and requires a third party piece of equipment to brew in the intended way. It also lies and says it can do espresso.

I still like my aeropress, even if it is a box of lies

>>14796027
Its an overpriced paper filtered french press, not the next coming of the messiah. Treat it as such, and quit recommending it. It becomes counter clutter as soon as you get it, whereas a v60 at 1/3rd of the cost can be refined and practiced on until endgame. Theres nothing to wear out, unlike the shitty ap seals that get brittle and degrade overtime.

My coffee:

1. Fill jug with 1 cup
2. Fill jug with water
3. Wait
4. Filter coffee water through filter
5. Yummy cold coffee for a week

>>14796046
Sure is, but there's nothing to wear out and you'd have to be a complete fucking moron to damage one. If you want full sustainability, go glass ceramic or copper with a metal/fabric filter.

I think we can all agree that Original Nespresso is the patrician's choice.
Most baste coffee product.
Runner up would be instant.
These are the best two methods for our environment.

>>14796055
this is true.
>>14796064
>a v60 at 1/3rd of the cost
when you add 350 hario v60 filters you're at about the same price.
you also need a pouring kettle. so this isn't true.
I'm going to keep recommending it because it's my favorite and nothing else you said was an actual argument. the fact that it makes people seethe is even better.
>>14796075
but you can still become a tranny from using it. so I'll stick with the aeropress I've had for 5 years since it's better in every other way.

>>14796145
Not trying to convince you. You're a lost cause. Just saving some other brews from wasting time and money drinking swill.

>>14796145
>V60 is cheaper than the aeropress and makes better coffee
>Oh yeah? Well if I tack on arbitrary expenses then it actually costs the same amount! BTFO!

>>14796184
>>arbitrary expenses
>literally unusable without them

>>14796165
likewise. this thread is full of aeropress haters spreading misinfo so I thought I would balance it out.
>>14796184
>arbitrary
>using a v60 without filters or a kettle
aeropress comes with filters (and more) for $30. a v60 that costs $10 doesn't. hario v60 filters are $13 for 200 on amazon right now. so that's $23 and you only have 200 filters instead of 350. the kettle isn't really optional. you'll probably spend another $50+ on that if you're serious.

I can do this all day.

>>14796217
>spending $50 on a kettle
You could at least try to appear genuine while doing this little troll act. Maybe people would actually fall for it if you used some believable numbers and weren't completely disingenuous in every single post.

>>14796049
this is true for a fixed grind size only. you can use a finer grind with aeropress since you don't need to worry about fines in the cup or clogging the filter. as a result I actually use a lower coffee:water ratio for aeropress to get the same strength.

>>14796324
here are some of your options
>milk pitcher with gooseneck spout: $13
>stovetop hario knockoff: $22-30
>variable temp bonavita: $60
>stagg ekg: $150
let me know which one you would get for v60. I'll just point out again that the v60 + 350 hario filters is already more than the aeropress.

>>14796390
Stovetop, no-name kettle that I got from goodwill for $2

>>14794947
i tried but it didnt work, what else

>>14796390
I would pick none of those and instead get a basic electric gooseneck for $20-30. Nice attempt at making it look like your only options are either cheap shit or spending exorbitantly on some unnecessary premium temperature regulating kettle. You also need a kettle for an aeropress so I don't see the point of any of this. Probably because you're just shitposting to ruin a perfectly good thread for some reason.

>>14796429
The only time I deal with pre-ground beans is when someone gives them to me for free.
I usually make faster french press and deal with the less than ideal taste.

>>14796390
Stop missing the point and focusing on price. The fact that any pourover mug is cheaper than a shitpress isn't the point, it's just a bonus. Pourover makes better coffee, that's the point. But you would never acknowledge that because the only way that you can pretend to win is when you ignore the substance of the argument. Go ahead and repeat some bullshit about how it's stronger or more convenient though so that I can laugh at you some more.

>>14796428
nice strawman, we aren't talking about used goods here. I also don't believe you found a gooseneck at goodwill for $2, and if you are serious about pourovers you are using a gooseneck.
>>14796434
so you spent another $20-30 on top of the $30 for the brewing method? looks like aeropress wins on cost. no you don't need a kettle for aeropress, you can just boil water in a pot and dump it in.
>>14796476
>focusing on price
I didn't bring up the price, someone else did. it's just easy to prove that they were objectively wrong.
>Pourover makes better coffee, that's the point.
that's just an opinion, but I can acknowledge that you don't know how to brew good coffee with an aeropress. personally I can make equally good coffee with both.

I have a grinder and beans
How do i make the coffee?

>>14796528
>looks like aeropress wins on cost.
Nobody gives a shit dude, stop bringing up cost when nobody else is
>no you don't need a kettle for aeropress, you can just boil water in a pot and dump it in.
You can boil water in a cup and pour it into a V60, what is your point?

>>14796528
>nice strawman, we aren't talking about used goods here. I also don't believe you found a gooseneck at goodwill for $2, and if you are serious about pourovers you are using a gooseneck.

Every goodwill I've ever been to has stovetop kettles, a few were even gooseneck. And if you sincerely believe you need a gooseneck to make good coffee you're an estrogen-titted consoomer.

>>14796429
what do you mean it didn't work? did you brew at room temp for 12-24 hours? did you use enough coffee?

>>14796528
>that's just an opinion
So you admit that you have no sense of taste? Again, nobody cares if you want to use your little gimmick toy thing to make trash coffee. It's your money to waste. But don't go around shilling the thing to people who might actually waste their money on it. I get that some people like you don't actually care about the quality of what they drink or about developing and improving a skill to get better results like with a pourover, but there is no reason to limit people by convincing them to buy useless meme appliances.

>>14795826
My parents drink this. They like to brag about how cheap it is. I never have the heart to tell them how cheap it tastes. If you think it tastes bad now, wait until you get to the bottom of the can. Oh well.

>>14796573
you don't need a gooseneck to make good coffee in an aeropress but you do for a v60.
>if you sincerely believe you need a gooseneck to make good coffee
you need to work on your reading comprehension skills. I make great coffee in an aeropress without one is my whole point.
>>14796587
are you a neet? you seem awfully sensitive about something that is pretty inexpensive.
I will keep talking about using the aeropress to make tasty coffee in the coffee thread. you will keep seething about it whenever someone brings it up.
anyway the aeropress involves recipes/skills/techniques as well, that's why there are competitions for it and various recipes in widespread use. so you are just wrong again. but I'm sure you already knew that.
bean quality is more important than the choice of brew method, as long as the user knows what they are doing.

>>14796796
I've made just as good pourover with my non-gooseneck kettle as I do with my gooseneck at work.

>wasting money is actually a good thing
>what are you, poor? you can't afford to buy tons of useless plastic crap?
holy shit man do us all a favor and neck yourself already. you have done nothing but cope for hours and dozens of posts now because someone insulted your meme device. get over it

>thread completely ruined by v60fag and aeropressfag one again
If you come into these threads to argue over if one piece of plastic is better than a different piece of plastic, then you should just kill yourself and save everyone else the trouble.

>tfw all of the good cafes have gone out of business in my city

>>14796977
I contribute roast logs and pressure graphs. You don't even keep the thread coofed.

>>14796806
Yep, looks like you're not retarded like the other bozos itt. I can't imagine the cigarette wristed spergs who can't pour water at a moderate rate.

>>14796796
> that's why there are competitions for it

That's why noone uses them for competition brewing and the manufacturer had to make his own playground. WBC>WapC.

>I can't imagine the cigarette wristed spergs who can't pour water at a moderate rate.
NOOOOOOOOOOO you need a $500 kettle to make pourover because I said so!!!! That's why my Aeropress™ is so much better because I can just microwave water in a cup and pour it in! No skill required and I can have a perfectly mediocre cup! But also it actually does require skill because people use it in competitions!!!

>>14796977
these threads are nothing but neets blogging, seething about people spending money on things, and newfags asking what instant coffee to buy. they were never good.
>>14797020
>I contribute roast logs and pressure graphs.
this isn't a blog, nobody cares.
>I can't imagine the cigarette wristed spergs who can't pour water at a moderate rate.
pouring spirals using a suboptimal setup doesn't make you a real man.

As long as you wash your portafilters more than Ethiopians wash their coffee, then yes.

Me and the canadian roaster bro(sis?) were solely keeping these threads alive for weeks.

>noone uses them for competition brewing

You understand there's a significant gap in athletic skill between the Olympics and the special Olympics right?

i think im going to start using instant coffee because i can never tell the difference between any coffee i drink - only difference i can tell is if it's light or dark roast

I feel smartre nowe

Can you guys give me some favorite k cup recommendations? Normal coffee or flavored bullshit. I just ordered a mini keurig and these

>>14784251
Whenever is see "blend" I think about pic related. A mix of the bottom of the barrel wine from 27 european countries. One of the cheapest hobo wine you can buy in France.

coffee

Love my morning moka coffee but feel like I need a change

Considering a brikka pot, does anyone know if they're worth getting?

>>14799130
No experience with them, if it's shit then at least you know, rather than just reading about it being shit/good and telling people

is coffee technology ?

>>14799459
More a craft/skill.

Morning lads, what's everyone brewing?
Slightly darker columbian here, going to see what affect my long draw down is having on temperature today.

>>14776578
try a coarser grind- really coarse, and make small amounts. fine grind only works for espresso machines

>>14799467
Interesting, ground a bit coarser because the coffee is a tad darker and heated my water to 90c. Finished my second pour at 1:55 and drew down finished at 3:30. Bit muddy and unclear, under extraction has happened. Will grind finer next time, but this was more to observe temperature loss. Final brew temp after decanting was 61c.

>>14799508
Imagine being this much of a coffee fag.

>>14777973
put it in the fridge, then have reheated or iced

>>14777371
Hell yea dude hope its as good as it sounds

>>14795983
What budget are you living on that a 30$ coffee maker makes you sperg out this much?

Tried this one out with my V60, it has a nice tea like flavour. Could drink it all day.

>>14799898
10 euro for 200g (~$20/lb)
I'm happy I'm not a eurotrash.

I want to try yemenia

>>14781097
Its just a hand burr grinder.

>>14799105
HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

How does this grind look? It tastes a bit bitter but seems to get less bitter after a few mouthfuls. I'm just following Hoffman's method

>>14800282
Its all over the place, lot of fines but also boulders. What grinder do you use?

>>14800295
A Hario Mini Mill +, it can be pretty inconsistent for sure but would it cause extreme bitterness based on the pic?

>>14800300
With that may fines i think its possible. Try to go coarser.

>>14800345
Yeah, I had it 7 'clicks' to the left, going to try 10 maybe work my way down. What should I expect with an overly coarse grind exactly? A watered down taste?

>>14800356
A bit weaker brew for sure. That grinder shouldn't be this bad though. Try this method, hopefully it makes it better.

I want to replicate pic related, anyone had it/have any tips on how to get there?

>>14800638
powedered milk and one of the UCC instant blends

>>14799855
I got real stoned and ordered the full kruve sift set. Its not about the price, its about the value the purchase provides. Noone in the world is dialing in a pourover with decent beans, then thinking

>I bet these would really shine in an aeropress

Its a travel gimmick, and the poors who use it don't have the cash to travel.

>>14800901
I want to do it with real coffee it doesnt need it taste exactly like this, but that is the vibe im going for

>>14801222
I don't get it, you're going for an artificial processed product vibe with non processed real ingredients?
