Drinktrade until you find a roaster you like, then order direct.

I'm getting more of a seared bite on the Aeropress, than I'm getting on the actual V Six- no no no no no no no no.... No please don't say that no no no... No. Nonononono. No no nono no no. NONO NO NONO NO NO NOOOOO. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not gonna trip. I wanted to come in a 100% hater.

I'mma tell you off the top. I wanted to take a sip of this and be like 'ehhh nah nah it don't it it'- I'mma just flat out say it; your Aeropress /ck/, IS BETTER THAN YOUR ACTUAL V SIXTY /CK/. YOUR AEROPRESS /CK/ IS BETTER THAN YOUR ACTUAL V SIXTY /CK/. IT HAS A MORE SEARED TASTE.

IT'S MORE OF A BREWOUT FLEX. IT JUST TASTES BETTER. Get over here. You get back in the cabinet. /ck/. That sip is so flavorful my m- and the fact that it works so well, it literally compliments the aroma. Like I'm not even mad that I'm sippin' up, and I'm not even mad, that I'm sipping coffee right now with my breakfast.

You can really taste the chocolate notes because the sear, on this press based situation right here, it's so strong and you barely get nutty notes but the notes are there so you get a crunch off it, with soft fruity action with BPA? /CK/, YOU'RE ONTO SOMETHING, AND I LIKE WHERE YOU, YOU GOIN' /CK/, THE AEROPRESS COFFEE SON!

posted a couple days ago about buying a flair NEO manual espresso maker and a 1Zpresso JX-PRO grinder but im thinking about just getting the neo with pre-ground for a while so i can ease into part of the process with the pressurized portafilter and all.

Is pre-ground espresso coffee anywhere near decent? How often would i need to get new grinds?

>>15241248
Coffee is bad for you.

>>15241475
Some of my own personal favorites:
Passenger Coffee: Most consistently great roaster I know. Anything they say is good I trust is good. They've earned my trust after I've had dozens of coffees from them and not one was bad, which is fucking unheard of with my standards. I can think of 0 other roasters with a track record HALF as good from me. They also do interesting stuff with freezing to bring back old lots. Also fucking amazing at making light but soluable coffee, most of my highest extraction yields have been from them.
Sump Coffee: A local roaster to me that I honestly feel hangs in there with the big name Nordic roasters for quality. Gets closer to their style than any other US roaster I know, except for maaaaaybe Sey.
Sey: See Sump Coffee. Either the second or first most Nordic style US roaster I know.
Heart Coffee: IDK how my favorite thing about them is so fucking specific, but they're REALLY good at roasting Kenyan coffees for espresso.
Coffee Collective: Probably my second favorite it terms of raw quality to Passenger.
Tim Wendelboe: Basically the standard for Nordic coffees. Gotta try em at least once.
George Howell: See Tim Wendelboe, but for America. IMO it's a little more hit and miss (for somone on this tier, his misses still hit higher than some roasters best hits), but still one of the must-trys.
Gardelli: An actually good third wave Italian roaster with the most absolutely fucking bullshit shipping. Goddamn they're good though, their wushwush (yes there is a real coffee varietal called fucking wushwush) is some of the best coffee I've had.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31055709/
>Coffee consumption has been associated with decreased mortality in previous studies. As aging, obesity, and lifestyle factors affect the risk of mortality, the association between coffee and mortality needs to be examined in various subpopulations by characteristics of subjects. To quantitatively assess this association, we conducted an updated meta-analysis including stratified analyses by potential modifiers. We searched in the PubMed and Web of Science databases through March 8, 2019, and conducted meta-analysis including linear and non-linear dose-response analyses. We identified 40 studies including 3,852,651 subjects and 450,256 all-cause and cause-specific deaths. Non-linear inverse associations between coffee consumption and mortality from all-causes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancers were found. The lowest relative risk (RR) was at intakes of 3.5 cups/day for all-cause mortality (RR = 0.85, 95% CI 0.82-0.89), 2.5 cups/day for CVD mortality (RR = 0.83, 95% CI 0.80-0.87), and 2 cups/day for cancer mortality (RR = 0.96, 95% CI 0.94-0.99), while additional intakes were not associated with further lower mortality. An inverse association between coffee consumption and all-cause mortality was maintained irrespective of age, overweight status, alcohol drinking, smoking status, and caffeine content of coffee. By region, Europe and Asia showed stronger inverse associations than US. A non-linear inverse association was found for mortality from respiratory disease and diabetes, while linear inverse association was found for mortality from non-CVD, non-cancer causes. Moderate coffee consumption (e.g. 2-4 cups/day) was associated with reduced all-cause and cause-specific mortality, compared to no coffee consumption. The inverse association between coffee and all-cause mortality was consistent by potential modifiers except region.

It's like you don't understand what assimilate means

Why do so many snobs get so picky about dark roasts? You would think the ROASTING part of coffee would be an essential determinant towards the quality of a coffee. The bean is more subtle but that's what makes an even more pleasant experience while getting deep roast notes

>>15250087
Dark roasting does a few things that suck:
Reduces sweetness
Increases bitterness
Reduces pleasant acid
Produces a dominant, generic roasty note that dominates all other notes

You can have all of the "depth" in a light roast, you just avoid these generic stinky smokey flavors, and preserve nuance, sweetness, acidity.

Go ahead and try tasting a dark roast next to a good quality light roast. I've shown many people how bad dark roasts are this way, even when they report prefering darker roasts before the tasting.

I had a coffee today

My preferred method

>>15247204
Good grinder is the barrier to entry for any method. Get the grinder and a pourover cone, fuck with that for a few weeks while you try to snag a secondhand/scratch and dent flair.

Afternoon coffee time? Coffee with burnt cheesecake is best.

Bitch made

Anyone have any tips for keeping a Chemex warm? I usually make two cups at the same time to save on filters but by the time I pour the second cup it's not hot enough and I hate having to microwave it.

Ran out of coffee, grabbed this on recommendation

I used clipper coffee(local brand), brewed in a moka pot, then into mug w/ a splash of sweet italian cream. Fiance wanted coffee so she had verena street mississippi grogg(flavored coffee) in a drip maker, same was as I drink mine(had some too, moka pot doesn't make much). Was better than expected, not really a fan of flavored coffee. Surprised because nobody besides me really drinks coffee, but I do keep the flavored stuff b/c that's what she likes(and stops everyone from drinking my specialty shit).

any opinions on the decent espresso maker?
I haven't done any research.

Is coffee a food?

Back in the day when I used to always make french press coffee I had a little jacket for my press made of neoprene and reflective foil. It was pretty cute–like a little wetsuit. I can't find any neoprene jackets for chemex, but I did find this cute little outfit. Just look at it!

>If you have tried authentic Vietnamese coffee, you’ll be fairly familiar with this traditional Phin filter. Using Arabica, Robusta and Moka coffee beans from Vietnam, you can instantly smell the coffee aroma as it slowly brews and drips down into your cup.
Is Moka coffee beans another variety of coffee bean or just advertising blurb?

>>15253416
Disgusting.. and same. How do I get into coffee frens? I am used to waking up and going, hence the instant coffee, but now covid made me a NEET for the next 5 weeks or so. Any widely available grinder, moka/aeropress/other worth looking into? Are roasted beans ok to order on amazon? (UK here, most other shipping options suck nowadays)

>>15257089
A french press is a good way to start imo. You can get a cheap Hario mini grinder for starters, then upgrade for better one later, if you get more into coffee. I don't know how good is amazon to order beans. The best option is to look for local roasters in your area so you get good quality fresh roasted beans. I'm not familiar with UK, Square mile is the only one i know about, you can look them up.

Sadly, I've never had it. I'd imagine it is comparable but not "better" otherwise flair wouldn't sell a single lever machine.

Sipping on some more of this ethiopian honey. Sifted out some boulders, reground, and used the fines to brew as well. Its delicious, but I'm not sure how I feel about adding ALL of my fines in a cup. Cup is fruity sweet, toasted coconuts like always, but a bit of bitterness thats not at all unpleasant. Pretty balanced.

Amazon brand coffee is actually pretty good, degozaimasu. I got the Peruvian shit with my last fresh order and was very pleased with it.

Well, it seems like aeropress works for you, and that higher extractions give you more. Grind a bit finer.

I wanna make a protein coffee which is why I'd like to add a scoop of Whey to my coffee. I start off by mixing milk with Whey and turning into a paste which makes it seem like the Whey is already dissolved but as soon as I add hot water (and a teaspoon of Nescafé Gold), it becomes chunky again. Would anybody know a trick?

At what time is it not a good idea to drink coffee ?

Was constipated for 5 days and drank some McD milk coffee which predictably "opened the floodgates". Why does McD coffee do this? Doesn't seem to work with other milk coffee I've tried even the canned ones.

>>15264632
Works better if you add the coffee to you whey shake rather than vice versa. I like to add mine to a banana whey milkshakes. Shit is so cash.

I bought a really great natural process Ethiopian out of Sidama and it's such a good brew. Ethiopian natural process coffee has become so popular that some roasters don't even select for quality anymore, but this is a special one. Every bag Tinker does is just top notch.

Earlier this year I had this supremely badass dry-process Ethiopian that tasted like nectarine juice. It was fucking insane. Scale breaking fruit levels, like a 93-something cupping score.

I think it's literally impossible. Several harvests a year dependent on time of year, that year's climate and weather patterns; timing and proficiency of harvest and processing; and weather conditions during processing. There are just so many big and small variables that controlling every single one of them would make coffee cost insane amounts of money. Coffee doesn't work like that. Coffee gets grown, and coffee gets sorted and graded. Almost all of it gets sold. The really good shit is expensive, the less good less so, and the shit becomes instant coffee. Farmers gotta eat.

>>15267063
I take that back. It's not literally impossible. It is impossible from a balanced ecological equation standpoint and the current world economic system (as in we use money).

Are you asian? I'm asian and I think it may have to do with the Asian lactose intolerance thing, but I've never had this manifest for all the other dairy products I consume. Only McDonalds' milk coffee.

I've been having trouble getting good results from my moka pot lately. I do a med-fine grind on my shitty hand grinder and brew it exactly like Hoffmeme says but it's been coming out predominately sour. Tried grinding finer but that didn't help. FWIW the beans were roasted months ago (Aug 3rd) so that might be the issue... I've been brewing with a pinch of cardamom as well.

Anything you'd typically use for filter. Cups you get are pretty clean, check out a few different recipes and take note of how they brew for different origins so you can highlight those particular notes.

Don't skip coffee in the morning

>>15276610
Don't skip the morning coffee?

I don't have sugar when I have coffee with sweet stuff

Clever dripper isn’t a meme, I recommend it. You need to add the water first though, Hoffman is correct in that. Otherwise it takes forever to draw with the fines settling on the filter.

Good mill?
I'm thinking of buying it+Bialetti Brikkka 4cup+Bialetti milk frother. gonna be expensive.

No, dont bother with that crap. Buy preground from a roaster till you can afford a decent hand/electric grinder around 100$-150$.

Where do I buy a second hand la pavoni europiccola in yurop?
Is it worth getting any lf the recent manual espresso machines like a flair?

>>15278363
Avoid Hario grinders at all costs. The burr wobble is too severe. The Aergring by Knock isn't a massive step up in price compared to the Skerton Pro, but the results are much, much better. Also travels easier and is more comfortable to hold, the Pro is too big, and I've quite large hands.

>>15279808
>like a flair

Love mine. Get the pressure gauge.

>>15279808
Is steaming milk a deal breaker? If not, grab a flair, pressure gauge and the Nespresso milk frother or some other variant of it. Flair has considerably fewer parts that can fail or that require maintenance in the long run.

>>15277383
Folgers or Maxwell House. The former is better but drinking it black tastes like liquid shit. It's decent enough for a poorfag if you put cream and sugar in it though, in the same sense that Vienna sausages aren't terrible when cooked into scrambled eggs.

If you can dish out a couple extra bucks for a bag of Dunkin Donuts grounds it's much better but won't last as long as the big tins of Maxwell House.

>>15277383
how poor are we taking? If you can afford a grinder, beans are cheap and you can grind them yourself, and it wont taste like liquid ass because most bagged grounds that are cheap are old as fuck and stale.
if you can spare 15 bucks, your coffee will be a fuck of a lot better, no matter how cheap

I've got a high end single dose hand grinder and some black honey resting.

>The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

Since its christmas ill do some more free shilling for coffeegay. You want slightly coarser than espresso grounds. The aergrind will still do it, but do a little shopping around. It's probably something you're using more than a few times a week, so make sure to snag something you're not going to complain about for a few years. Also christmas black honey roasted to 399f.

anyone in this thread can rec me a burr grinder, thats less than $50? and preferably crank by hand.

>>15284863
Wait until you save twice that.
Have the shop you buy it at grind it until then.
$50 grinders just outright ruin coffee.

>>15284891
>>15284863
This. A useful way to think about hand grinders is to view the price per performance the same way you would with graphics cards. The difference between a GTX 710/1020 compared to something you can pick up second hand for $100 is night and day. Not saying you should look for a second hand grinder, just useful for the sake of example.
Just save up that extra bit of money as the returns you get are exponential when you have that bit more to spend compared to something like an Amazon basic, Hario, or Wish.com grinder.

>>15284891
>>15285450

>>15284854
Yeah. That video is the exact method I use with my current one. Is that grind in the video not the same as Turkish? It's the same as store bought coffee I get over here.
I might look some more into electric grinders, but I'm not a big coffee drinker really. I love the taste, but I can go a while without it

It doesn't dehydrate you, soccer mom. It doesn't cass a loss of fluid larger than the volume ingested. It's just a mild diuretic.
My teeth are fine and coffee breath is no worse than other food-caused breath.
As for le addiction meme, I never felt anything when I had to go for days without coffee. If you're weak or have poor dental hygiene, bad for you, but it's not my problem.

I'm an absolute cofee noob, but i have seen a lot of hate on robusta, especially on reddit (i know i know go back bla bla). But i have tried a 100% robusta from lavazza (yeah i know, supermarked brand) and i enjoyed quite a lot

I wanted to read "uncommon grounds" but i heard it's quite US-centric, is there a better alternative for history of coffee?

Going to start getting stuff delivered from my favorite roaster, untill then I have some ok stuff. It's still good stuff from a local roaster they just don't have much variety (all caturra beans). Usually brewed in a moka pot unless I'm making coffee for a few people.
>>15246443
Absolutely based, Sump is where I just started ordering online from. Definitely my favorite roaster. A few years back I was looking for a coffee shop nearby and Sump(St. Louis, they have a location in Nashville as well) was the closest and I've been hooked ever since. They always have the best beans, I can't go there without ordering a few coffees though. They really are in a league of their own, there are only like 2 other coffee shops I'll order from in STL but they can't really compete with Sump.

What beans for cappuccino?

Very close to a bar made cappuccino, the foam is perfect for my taste.
There are also two attachments for different milk foam results, also the newer models (3 gen) has more settings.

Overall it’s a must buy if you like making cappuccino without using the steam arm.

There are less expensive models but I’m so happy with it I’d buy a new one again despite the price, also you can have it bundled with a coffee machine usually.

If the steam pressure builds up to 9bar in that unit, it's a fucking bomb. I'm not saying you can't employ a valve to reach 9bar, I'm just saying you have built a bomb if you do so. The amount of energy steam holds under that much pressure is fucking terrifying.

The problem is that if his spring valve and his safety valve both fail, it's similar powerful to a pipe bomb. A regular moka pot will explode with enough force to shoot through a normal sheetrock ceiling, and it isn't anywhere fucking NEAR nine bar.
I don't disbelieve that he found a way to get steam to nine bars, but it's fundamentally impossible to safety pressurize steam to that level in a home. Nobody that isn't a certified boiler technician has any fucking business with that in their home.

desu wouldn't be surprised if the result is found just cus coffee drinkers are more likely to be middle/upper-class workers, who in general are healthier. studies really can't be trusted without reading the methodologies, and meta analyses can be shit in, shit out. too much effort to read papers though. but if it's not clearly bad, and has great benefits for focus, no need to worry

so i've been using the flair for a few days now, seems easy enough to get an acceptable espresso
why do people seem to fawn over the pressure gauge so much? just for better consistency?

>>15303436
Do you have any reading comprehension at all?
The issue is that this device has many times the stored energy of a moka pot.
If you look up moka pot explosions, you can see they have in fact exploded in the past when the safety valve failed. However, this isn't too big of a deal because the steam in them is under very low pressure. There isn't much stored energy to release.
The 9barista is under several times the pressure of a Moka pot. It's like a Moka pot is a firecracker, and the 9barista is a fucking pipe bomb. Because that's, literally, what it is if both the safety valve and brewing valve fail to open. Look up "steam boiler explosion deaths" to see why it's a bad idea to pressurize steam to that degree without a proper boiler technician.

Its very hard to estimate the pressure you're applying from day to day, but that little $50 addition gives you a little guideline to try to adhere to. I spent money on the SEP and really enjoy using it. Does it change the function at all? Nope, but its been incredibly useful in my experience.

>>15305453

That's not a bad idea. Might be worth the extra little bit of bulk.

I still have some sheet metal, could potentially use some tin snips to make a similar frame for a similar concept. Not sure how good of an idea using some galvanized steel for that would be, but it might be safe as long as it doesn't directly touch the coffee and it just holds the filter.

>>15305453
Yes. That's exactly where the problem lies.
If it was chinkmade aluminum, it would not be able to hold enough pressure to cause a seriously dangerous explosion. The solid construction is why it's going to go off like a fucking pipe bomb if it goes off. And all valves have the potential to fail. It shouldn't even be fucking legal to sell to someone who isn't a certified boiler technician. High pressure steam boiler maintenance isn't something even a relatively intelligent person or a fucking genius can be trusted with, proper training and certification is a hard requirement. Entire fucking city blocks have been taken out by people with decades of experience slipping up. Steam pressure is a fucking monster that does not belong in the home.
My bad on the Moka pots and sheetrock, I was thinking of pressure cookers which somewhat regularly shoot lids through drywall ceilings. And they operate at a maximum of not even 2bar. The 9barista operates at fucking NINE.

A hand grenade has, ballpark, 200-300k joules of energy stored as gunpowder to release. The 9barista, with both valves in a failed closed state, has approximately 170-200k joules of energy stored as steam under 9 bar of pressure, and more if it doesn't give until well past 9bar. It's straight up a bomb.
