Maybe it's time to just make regular coffee threads instead of a general?

Waiting on the G-Iota/DF64/Solo grinder to arrive.

Coffee is for women and faggots, I drink Bang.

vietnamese coffee filters produce the best coffee by far, especially when dripped onto ice. I got one for 2 dollars and it makes far better coffee than my roommates thousand dollar espresso machine. With just a little bit of water to coffe ratio it makes delicious espresso style coffee, filled to the top it’s more like a french press but smoother and extremely consistent brewing time, you can just fill it up and leave it without having to monitor.

Paper filter drip coffee done manually is my second favourite, a lot less strong than the metal filter and requires some precision to get perfectly, but unbeatable smoothness and a lovely delicate taste.

Greek coffee is nice, and gives the biggest rush I find, i sometimes make it like instant coffee just adding hot water to a cup and stirring, it makes me shit hard though.

They dont always. Sometimes its just slow.
>>15737464
Yes, it also helps with shitty coffee. Rose water with it is also amazing

>>15736601
then fuck off the thread, fucking asshole.

Latin American or African beans? I never tried single origin beans yet and am looking forward to it.

I put salty milk in my coffee.
My coffee is better than your coffee, but for other reasons.
You cannot afford me because I'm not motivated by money.

Ethiopian beans are fantastic and have a lot of variety between the different coffee growing regions. Ultimately it's best to experiment with different countries and try beans that catch your attention.

>>15736211

Probably. It's the best my local grocery has to offer. I'd order beans from better sources if I knew of any.

I blame all the /b/-lite threads like "is coffee good for you" with a bikini model & ugly webms of "cooking"

Why are Ethiopians so superior, bros? Just finished a bag of some beans from Yirgacheffe, now trying some from Guji and it's killer.
>>15737586
I love Ethiopian beans a lot. In my experience, LatAm beans are much better for dark roasts--opposite for African beans (could just be the profiles of the ones I've had though)

>>15737458
>caring what hoffmann thinks

seriously, have you ever ordered from square mile? he roasts some of the blandest, most generic, least interesting beans in all of fucking coffee history. it is to coffee what british food is to food. i would rather go bear grylls and drink my own piss than ever order another bag of beans from square mile, ever again.

his pourover method is a joke, too - the most complicated fucking thing and the end product is virtually indistinguishable from literally just winging it. if you're going to put in effort into making a pourover, tetsu's method extracts way more sweetness and actually creates a palatable cup.

if the coffee industry would be as kind as to stop jacking the guy off ad infinitum for just ten fucking seconds, i would be a significantly happier man.

>>15739589

>>15739613
the yuji seems good, but at the same time, you can't really go wrong with a good yirgacheffe. most of these seem pretty dogshit, though.

>>15739603
he comes off as confident, has a british accent, and white hair. he's like hipster incarnate, which obviously appeals to the loft-living lumberjack stereotype that knows absolutely jackshit about coffee.

he's not terrible for rookies who can't tamp a portafilter to save their lives, but his value to the industry is in his video's production value, not his knowledge of coffee (or lack thereof.)

I have a flair & Specialita and it's good. I've got no idea what a good espresso machine is after this setup, maybe a rocket?
I enjoy the manual control though

>>15739754
I'm a Rocket owner, and I can't say I'm thrilled with it. It's pretty, but its lack of configurability makes it a bitch when it comes to trying to dial in a shot.

>>15736674
Holy shit you know nothing about coffee.
Vietnamese coffee is robusto beans aka bitter garbage hence the need for condensed milk

>>15739839
For that price you want it to suck while making your coffee.

>>15739949
>robusto
it's spelled robusta, anon. and some people - boomers especially - are used to the robusta taste and prefer it. even if they are wrong.

>>15739613
Tell them you want the Guji, but meduim roast it because they are wrong about roasting it too light. Then tell them they are stupid and get the Sidamo.

>>15740012
imagine being so retarded that you order a fruity ethiopian as anything darker than a light roast. *maybe* medium-light at the darkest.

imagine being you.

>>15736211

I'm still drinking Intelligentsia black cat. Mostly drinking espressos and espresso con panna lately. I've been a lazy bastard and I haven't roasted lately. I have 10lbs of green Geisha beans sitting waiting to go into my Behmor, but I am still lazy. Gonna try and do it this weekend, but taxes loom. Thinking about getting back on the espresso and tonic wagon soon. I think they're better after going through a v60 filter and into a hyperchiller though.

>>15737234
Yes it will. t. owned a moka pot and own a 9Barista. Hoffmann complained that it takes 6 minutes for a shot (well, the output is ~40ml). On an actual gas hob (not an adapter thing), it takes about 4 minutes. I don't know why he didn't tweak the grind further, because he said it was on the border of underextraction. For me, considering you cannot tweak the pressure or temperature, it works very well for medium/dark (not burnt) roasts.

>>15740033
Imagine preferring dogma over excellence.

>>15736596
Tell us about it when you get it. Any reviews up?

>>15740143
There's one on a Polish forum. Maybe it's due to Google Translate, but the guy doesn't seem massively impressed with the grind quality for espresso with the standard Italmill burrs. I'll just have to wait and see.

>>15739603
>>15739626
I'm not saying hes a coffee God, but hes good for critical reviews.

>>15736211
It keeps dying because there literally nothing to discuss about coffee. Yes we drink coffee, great, now shut up about it. You do know "coffe drinker" isn't a personality right?

>>15737234
How much did this cost? It's usually pretty expensive if I remember correctly, a base-model Flair may produce better results for the same cost but don't quote me on that...

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.

Does anyone here own or have used a kalita wave? I have a ton of those cheap flat bottom filters, and since these take that shape I was thinking of getting one

>his value to the industry


I mean he's consulted on various VA products that are pushing the entire industry forward. Innovation trickles down. You can't innovate without insight. He's obv a faggot, but his industry chops are there.

>>15742010
He also might just personally suck at roasting, or maybe doesn't care much for it and only started that business because it's relevant to his work

>>15741949
kalita waves are great, they have a longer rundown time so you sort of get a hybrid of pour over and immersion because of the smaller holes and flat bottom

>>15742064
> only started that business because it's relevant to his work

Well its a pretty solid investment to stretch your name after winning wbc. He could have got an industry job no problem, this gave him equity and a foothold. Its more likely brits don't give a fuck about coffee and squaremile is an accessible and affordable upgrade to their daily cuppa.

Hey lads, need assistance. I just got a grinder (a basic Timemore, nothing crazy good) and tried grinding my own beans for the first time. I've had preground from the same brand so I know it's not just the beans, but holy fuck it was ridiculously bitter compared to what I usually have. I use an Aeropress (yes I know) so I'm not sure what the exactly desired grind setting is for that. Any advice?

>>15742276
Do everything else you do the same way, but keep grinding a little bit coarser every time until you find the correct grind.

>>15740066
how does it do on medium and lighter roasts, in your experience?
i usually brew medium/light roasts, and only occasionally dark roasts

>>15736211
>you know the drill.

Stevia pairs well with coffee if you use creamer. I recommend it if you are trying to reduce sugar intake

>>15742936

>>15742932
In my moka, I find anything not roasted to "cinnamon" to be overly acid; though those tend to work better in my press. In general I find low roasted AND a acidic don't taste as well in a moka.

>>15742276
No one wants to hear about you dating other faggots, faggot.

>>15742932
fine with medium, i haven't tried light yet.

I still don't know how to make good cuppa' coffee with a moka pot. I read hours about different methods, tried everything, from the amount of coffee, to grinding my own fresh coffee (tried coarse and fine ground), different extracting speeds, nothing helped. Then one day, after having used one for a few months already, I stopped lying to myself and finally admitted that it tastes like SHIT. Are these things a meme pushed by wannabe Italians?

^ faggot

had a full pound of specialty ethiopian beans that i made cold brew with. It's like drinking juice. Shits so bright and tangy.

>>15743095

It's ok. Education systems tend to be shit, but I'm sure you'll get better at reading comprehension eventuality.

is it normal for freshly ground to be way more bitter than preground

>>15739949
>Vietnamese coffee is robusto beans aka bitter garbage hence the need for condensed milk
Just because you cant get high quality robusta beans. Dont assume that robusta taste bad.
It taste uniquely wholesome, and can be quite fruity depends how you process it.
What a pleb

Based robusta chad drinker.

>>15736211
I just got a manual ceramic grinder, I'm using dunkin medium roast whole beans, it's a lot better than the preground folgers I was drinking before
I use a drip coffee pot. I still don't have the perfect ratio of coffee for my 12 cup pot but each pot I make is a little better. Does how fine the beans are ground make it stronger or weaker, or have little or no effect at all? in terms of my coffee pot I mean. Right now it's on the weaker end and the grind seems the same as the folgers I was using

>>15744240
>my experience with a moka pot which is a similar brew method

save yourself the embarrassment and stop posting

Just worked my way through most of a bag of this shit. No noticeable difference in caffeine compared to any other roast I've tried and tastes like they burnt it to shit on purpose. Total scam for $20 a bag. I knew it'd probably be shit but curiosity got the best of me.

Literally the biggest difference is 9barista actually makes true espresso, cause it hits 9 bars. They are more similar than dissimilar.

>>15744412

>>15736211
>tfw the buzz is just right for multiple hours of concentration

>>15744606
Well if you say it's cheap...My point is that all coffee, whether it's good beans or folgers, will taste the same brewed in one of those cheap drip machines

>>15744622
i just dont see how drip brews can make that big of a difference. I was looking at the nice ones and it seems like the features are not related to actually heating up water and going through the grounds. its not a complex process I think you guys just waste money to be honest.

>>15744629
My understanding is that cheaper drip brewers have 0 temperature control and so they almost always either burn or underextract the grinds
I was looking at the nice ones and it seems like the features are not related to actually heating up water
Sounds like you weren't looking at actual nice ones, just expensive ones with a bunch of bells and whistles that ultimately brew the same as a walmart drip machine
>I think you guys just waste money to be honest.
The v60 costs $20

>>15744629
drip works better with pre heated water, and the base that keeps the coffee hot burns the coffee, why not just get a stainless steel dripper? vietnameme is great.

How often do you purchase a cuppa coffee/espresso from the local cafe? I treat myself to an Americano about once a month. I feel like it's not worth going frequently.

Anyone here had white tea?

>>15747052
Usually like twice a month to buy bags of beans and I would pick up a macchiato as well since the cafe would knock off the price of drinks when you buy a bag. Have been just ordering beans since the pandemic.

>>15736211

I stopped making coffee when I went to Costa Rica and everyone drank instant. it’s just not worth fucking around for.

yes but not for a while. I bought 6 cans when they were 33% on sale. Good for 3 months at least.

I stopped consuming coffee first thing in the morning for 3 weeks and finally had the best sleep of my life and my anxiety disappeared.

Remember to take a break once in a while, moderation in all things frands.

got a broken capresso infinity 560 grinder from a thrift store
would this be an upgrade over the rhino hand grinder i already have? is it worth trying to fix up? is the manufacturer likely at all to just fix it if i lie and pretend i bought it new a week ago?

Interesting, didn't know this existed. Were there any meaningful compromises or is it just more plastic less steel / aluminum?

>>15751710
Nah exact same burr set it just doesn't have the thumb stop, has a plastic funnel instead of the metal one, an oring'd catch cup instead of magnets, and plastic spokes inside to stabilize(I think steel wire runs through the plastic too). They called it the phoenix since they had a factory fire and lost a bunch of machining capabilities. Made a cut down version in the meantime to offset the rebuild costs and utilized salvageable machinery.

>>15751781
Ah well, then I'll probably go with that then. I can't really justify ~350 for a hand grinder, but I generally prefered the design of the Kinu over something like the Lido3 / LidoE

>>15751574
Try using actual fresh beans instead and just grinding on the right setting for whatever brew method you're using.

>>15751852
>actual fresh beans
what, i need to grow the fucking things myself?

>>15751858
You buy them from a local roaster, silly. I assume you just have been buying a mass produced brand that could have been sitting on the store shelf for months.

Is Ethiopia the France(wine) of Coffee?
Ive never felt bored with an Ethiopian. Maybe I ve just got a really good micro roastery that specializes in Ethiopian beans but my experience with Ethiopians has been pretty positive thus far.

>why does the birthplace of coffee with thousands of wild varietals have great coffee?
Lat-ams are catching up though with funky fermentation techniques and importing ethiopian varietals, geisha was just the first.

is kona coffee a meme that is only popular because they’re technically grown in the US (although nothing west of the Appalachians is really America to me) or are they worth trying?

Anyone got any suggestions?

How do you guys grind for moka pot? Anything resembling a fine grind for me ends up in bitter shit, it's absolutely not "a little finer than espresso", but that's all I can find anywhere. Only acceptable grind is pretty much a pourover grind, maybe slightly finer. Is there something I'm missing? Stove too hot, too cold, anything?

>>15755159
Or, sorry, a bit coarser than an espresso grind. I get the best results, at around medium-medium coarse in this image, I can take a picture of the grinds if you guys need. If I grind something like fine in this picture it's bitter, astringent, undrinkable trash. It's very very bad. Would a darker roast, or something with less volatiles handle this better?

>>15755159
>Only acceptable grind is pretty much a pourover grind, maybe slightly finer
This is correct. I don't think the moka pot packaging or manual says this, but if you grind too fine, the grinds can clog the holes in the funnel and ruin your coffee. As for anything else, how hot are you going? If you have a gas stove, you should use the lowest flame you can manage or else you might burn the coffee. Also, I find that this pattern works well:
>leave on heat until a good stream comes out of the spout
>remove from heat
>put it back on if the flow slows down
>remove again
>repeat until the pool is a little below the bottom of the spout
>apply a cold damp towel to the base to stop brewing
You want to be careful with applying heat while it's brewing or else you might break the puck. As a final thing, I find that light roasts just don't work in moka pot. Medium or dark are much better

>>15753851
Has you considered a hand-grinder?
Pro: works during a Texan balckout

>>15755283
>Has you considered a hand-grinder?
I have not, would I get noticeably better if I bought a good one?
I used to have a hario one but it was shit, took so fucking long and was super inconsistent
But yeah I don't live in Texas and I can remember the last time I was in a blackout

I make my self a Latte in this.

>>15755394

Wrong link I have the 12 oz version.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikL_x3O-paI

>>15755404
Why? Is there a noticeable difference between this an a cheap one?

>>15755422

If you search around for a 12 oz latte mug you can find some from china but its still gonna be $30 for four of them.

I paid about $30 for 2 latte mug made in Italy. Its kina hard to find this kind of Barista quality mug. The shape and the height makes it right for doing latte art and fitting under smaller espresso machines.

I bought these latte mug because my tall normal mug for 12 Americano would not fit under my spouts unless I take the drip tray out. And I dont want to drink Latte out of a tall coffee mug when I can use a short wide one that will just slide right under.

There are some popular brands that make this style cup. Like loveramics, or Vertex. Lots of coffee shops use the Vertex mugs.

>>15755459
I don't make espresso right now so I guess it doesn't apply to me. But I have been thinking of getting a new mug. The one I use right now is a double walled stainless steel one I got as a gift, but I'd prefer ceramic. Any thoughts? I only make filter coffee right now

>>15755467

I drank filter coffee for awhile and got into espresso recently. An Americano is basically the same thing as filter coffee. You just make the espresso shot and add hot water to it.

My daily mug was a 12oz Le Creuset white ceramic mug

https://www.surlatable.com/pro-4408795-mug-nutmeg-12oz/PRO-4408795.html

>>15755491
I like that a lot but what's with the gay insignia on the bottom?

>>15755503

Its a Its the companys name, they are a french brand.

I just snagged it off an Amazon search.

>>15755509
No I know the brand, I just think it's weird that they'd brand the mug like that. It's a personal preference I guess

The cup you drink from is really important in coffee.

Because the size and shape of the cup really dictates what kind of drink you have.

A Cappuccino in under 8oz usually so its a small cup of strong coffee with with steamed milk and a bunch of foam on top.

When you have a Latte you need room for more steamed milk and just a bit of the foam.

>>15755342
>would I get noticeably better if I bought a good one?

Yes. Your arm will also outlast whatever chinkshit motor they toss in mass produced electrics.

Hello frens. I'm from Costa Rica, have you ever tried Costa Rican coffee?

>>15755667
No señor. Toss me some rolid reccs

I don't get it, why does grinding my own coffee make it taste so much worse

>>15756093
shit grinder

>>15756160
i spend nearly $100 on the fucking thing

>>15756166
is it the timemore? thats the only one at that price worth buying. also, get better beans

>>15756172
>is it the timemore?
Yes actually! It's very pleasant to use so I have my doubts that the grinder is the issue
>get better beans
But the grounds that I was buying before are made from the same beans that I'm grinding now, right?

>>15756182
Since it's universally agreed that grinding fresh beans tastes better than stale beans, you problem is obviously you, not the act of grinding beans. You're not using the same grind for every coffee you use, right?

>>15756093
Depends on your brew method

>>15736211
I usually drink instant coffee but I had some instant espresso from when my brother made tiramisu and I started drinking it like espresso instead of americano like a retard. I'm liking it, less liquid, more bitterness.

>>15756194
I know, that's the perplexing part. I've been fiddling with the grind since I got the thing a few days ago but it always tastes either ridiculously bitter or downright watery in comparison to the preground stuff which I was using without issue.

>>15756196
aeropress
>inb4
yes i know, but it's enough for me until i move into a bigger place

I got a niche zero, am I cool yet

>>15756182
so supermarket tier beans? if fresh all the low tier flavors are there, if old only bittery ash flavor (which would show same "flavor" as preground)

>>15756213
I prefer pour over myself, but did you look up the ideal grind for an aeropress?

>>15756228
They are from the supermarket, yes. I don't have alternatives where I live outside of ordering online where I wouldn't know where to start (but advice to that end would be highly appreciated).

>>15756244
I've heard a lot of mixed advice but it usually tends toward the coarser end which is what I'm doing. Still trying to find a good spot.

>>15756266
Try finer next time and see what happens. Otherwise spend the 20$ on a pourover

>>15751868
Find a roaster with fast shipping. I live in more fuck off nowhere than you do and my preferred roaster gets beans to me with about 4 days after the roast date, so I usually end up parking them another day before using them for espresso.

>>15756335
I wouldn't even know where to start looking for a roaster.

>>15756266
ok here is some advice.
>the store needs to have listed the type of roast, order only light and medium roast. avoid city, italian and dark roasts.
>they should either have a toasting schedulle or toast on purchase
>price point should be Lavazza +20% at most or you are paying college coffee snob prices.
>buy at most the quantity that you will cosume within 2 months
>as far as flavor of the coffee by origin, altitude, drying process. it will take years to find the one you like most. so try new ones often.
>look for locations of coffee roasters on google maps

>>15756406
capped and saved, thanks a ton for the tips friend

>>15756266
To add to >>15756406
Most people agree that you should go finer for aeropress, and I've found that to be the case with my own. If you got a light roast, go almost to the finest grind setting. For medium, bring it two clicks back from that. For dark, bring it 2 more clicks back from medium. And then try one of these two aeropress recipes which I've found to both be pretty good
Inverted method: you can just look this one up on their website
The other one is
>place aeropress over your mug like you're going to use the "standard" method
>add water to halfway between 1 and 2
>stir a little to make sure they all get wet
>wait 30s
>slowly add water until it's about half an inch from the top, over the course of 30s
This step is a lot like doing a pourover
>give it one or two stirs
>wait 30s
>now (at the 1:30 mark) press fast for 30s
I'm not sure which method you're using right now, but maybe give one of these a shot and let us know how it comes out

I took apart my rocky and holy shit they really designed it where you can never clean it

>>15751868
the internet and shipping exists. you're an idiot.

>>15755204
i'd use a different image, I disagree with alot of it personally. there should be a ton of different images you can consult for both grind size and recommended grinds for brew methods (i'd never use their idea of "fine" for v60)

>>15758163
Just a random pic I pulled off the internet. I don't need an image for grind size, just dial in to what tastes good. Probably going to try a darker roast and see if I can hit an acceptable extraction on a finer grind. It flows way faster than I'd like to see when I grind coarser, but I still get an acceptable extraction so who knows. I'll update you guys on my adventure later once I have some decent coffee and time to dial in.

to everyone shitting their pants over not being able to find coffee outside of their fucking grocery stores-
if you're in america, do a google search for "best roasters in america" or some shit, or go state by state. off the top of my head im assuming its going to be either seattle or portland.
now do a search for "best roasters in portland" or something. make a list, check their websites- I bet the vast majority of them will ship to your fucking house.
order anything that is natural processed ethiopian- prepare to shit your pants and actually enjoy drinking coffee.

>>15758178
im interested in the updates- never tried a moka pot so I don't have anything else to add.

>>15758180
>prepare to shit your pants and actually enjoy drinking coffee.
My morning routine is based on drinking coffee before absolutely anything else so I can coffee shit in my toilet before work and not need to worry about shitting my pants.

>>15761515
Yeah, me too. After I got the roast correct on the one Ethiopian the other week, I finally got the grind correct. Went Incremetally finer and finer until it filled out. Went from pretty good to excellent. Somewhere between a New England and American, I reckon. Fuck, it's good. Wow.

*_*

>>15762734
So I'm gettin' kinda philospohical here. Thinking more than ever that pragmatism beats dogma every time. You think you know what you're doing. This coffee type needs this or that. Well, fine; past experience is certainly a starting point. Then a wild coffee appears, forcing you to make exceptions to your world view, more reliant on your senses and results. You've gotta just get in there and smell, taste, observe, record, and adapt. You don't always get everything right on your first or second try, no matter how much experience you think you have.

Is this thing just a meme or is it actually good?

>>15762632
That guy should have his membership revoked for such stupidity.

>>15762858
It's probably excellent but fuck those guys for spending what must have been mid-six figures on a Kickstarter pitch video then begging for Kickstarter money. Fuck them.

>>15762858
Needs a burr swap.

>>15736211
Drinking pic related. It's alright. I mixed it up from the French Roast. It's better than Starbucks anyway. We have Stumptown on our shelves but I'd go through it way too fast. It's like 15 bucks a bag and several oz smaller than most of the other brands, but fuck me is it so good.

>>15736211
What are your thoughts on cold press is it worth it ?

>>15762999
What's wrong with the stock burrs?

>>15763014
Good choice. I like that one. It was the last major roaster coffee I drank before I moved on to the weird world of home roasting. Not a lot of coffees you can find at grocery stores have much character. That one does though. It changes over time. That's a good sign.

>>15763014
>>15763124
Oh, and Peet's is a better deal if you order direct online. Free shipping at 3 1lb bags, I think.

>>15763082
Its a pourover grinder where 90% of the adjustment is too coarse for pourover.

>>15763014
stumptown is worlds, WORLDS better than the fucking garbage in your pic. I cant understand people in a coffee thread actually still drinking trash like that

>>15763846
Eh. I've bought several bags of stumptown. It's pretty dern mediocre. Expensive though.

Anyone else had this? I'm sipping it now, I thought it would be a gimmick but the bourbon taste is really noticeable actually, huge difference.

>>15736211
You are all degenerate addicts.

>>15763014
That's what I had this morning. I got three bags of Pete's during a Kroger digital deal a few weeks back. I like this one best (compared to Major Diskinson and their French roast) but I don't know if I'd pay regular price for any of them. They were all great for 5 bucks though.

>>15765272
Who cares? And who cares what you think? Really, did you have a life where people actually gave a shit about anything you ever said or did? If so, fuck you. You're a piece of shit like everyone else. We're all going to die and nothing matters. Fucking loser.

And yet these "addicts" are probably healthier than you. See >>15741915.

I drank dolce gusto guatemala latte macciatto, and I think it was really good, in fact it was the best variation what the machine has to offer. I wanted to buy the guatemala coffee only, but that is like 30ml/kapsule, which is a fucking robbery for a 4eur box.

Your can eat them raw or chocolate covered and still feel the effects.

>>15765935
never noticed a difference between bleached or unbleached, also never noticed a difference between rinsing the filter before brewing vs unrinsed. I think there's been a few blind taste tests between all of these and the results were generally the same, nobody could tell the difference.

>>15762604
>>15767350
>>15768892
Boys, I googled "coffee grind" and clicked the first image. That's why I was saying I grind medium to medium coarse on that image, obviously I'm not using it as a guide.

If you want a mocha update, I'm pretty sure I just need better coffee at this point. I can still consistently brew coffee that 99% of people would very much enjoy, but is slightly under extracted by moving to a coarser grind, and generally this is what I would recommend. In the interest of producing better coffee though, I'd like to move a bit finer, and for this I think I need some decent medium-dark roast, none of which I have because I rarely drink it. If people are interesting in my process.

>Fill the base with cold water, and set it on the stove to boil
>grind coffee and fill the funnel so it is every so gently heaped, if it's enough that you need to compress the grounds, or if they compress while you tighten, it's too much.
>Make sure they don't interfere with the gasket
>Use a kitchen towel and pull the base off the heat once it's boiling
>Drop in the funnel, screw the top on as far as you can just by hand
>pick it up and hold the base with a towel and finish tightening

>If the flow ever starts to whiten significantly, immediately pull it off and run the base under cold water
This section of the coffee is very very bitter and will ruin your cup. I can get very sweet, very rich but underextracted coffee this way quite consistently with a coarser grind. I'll update you guys again after I get nicer coffee to test with.
