He’s a full fledged coffee snob. He’s smug by nature. He tries to cater to an audience in an educational and inclusive way, while at the same time stroking his own ego by coming up with unconditional ways of brewing coffee that he claims are better like his French press method

>>16970395
he looks like he’s trying to be a zoomer

>>16970428
>He tries to cater to an audience in an educational and inclusive way
That's what bothers me about him. Coffee shouldn't be inclusive. Making coffee inclusive is how you end up with retards like the SGP poster, "grinders should only cost $20 at most" poster, and the "how do I make espresso with a $200 budget" posters destroying the hobby.

Does anyone have an 01 and an 02 v60?

>>16970699
I have an 01 and an equivalent to the 02 made by another brand. You want measurements or something fren?

>>16970379
Noone got banned moron.

How do you people drink your coffee? Do you drink it with sugar and cream or do you go unsweetened black? I don't know what coffee coinnesseurs prefer

I've never had a cup of coffee that I've ever thought was good, therefore I can only conclude that people who like coffee are retarded and have the mutated taste buds of some gay circumcised desert animal.

>>16969981
Chinkshit, more expensive than the hario
Why???

Got a Hario Switch, and after a bit of adjustment on grind size, made a really nice cup of coffee with it today. Based on some stuff I've seen online, during the immersion phase I add water, then the coffee, with stirring at the beginning and fifteen seconds before the drawdown. This produces the bed scene in the attached picture, which is sort of dome-like rather than the flat bed that sources say is optimal. Does this normal standard still apply when you're adding coffee after water? The coffee tasted good, but I'm wondering if I could could make it even better.

I don't have time to brew nice coffee anymore before my weightlifting sessions and instead I add cold brew concentrate to my oats. It fucking sucks.

>>16971357
that sounds fucking disgusting
why not drink the coldbrew on the side?

>>16971368
I actually prefer it in the oats to doing that. I would rather just have actual coffee than this shit though. I only do it because it is better than instant.

>>16970395

>>16970711
Curious how often you choose one over the other when you brew. Is it purely situational to how big of a brew you want to make? I have just an 02 v60 but rarely make a brew using more than 20-25g of beans. I imagine I would get better results with the 01 but the hassle of having two of the same brewer and buying different size papers seems like it would not be worth it.

Drink less and you'll get more energy from it. a two week no-coffee period will practically reset you. I have one cup of coffee three times per week and it's no need, no addiction, just free energy.

now you do: black

The 2nd Phin filter anon, you there? How's your experience? I get stronger brews of my non-robusta coffee with less weight used and flavour is much stronger as well. The brewing time and the ability to temper the filter a bit makes so much difference. I don't want to go back to my v60.

>>16972386
Nice bulge

>>16971595
They say it's better to use as small of one as possible, but honestly with plastic I think it's fine to use whatever size. I only really use the 02 sized one now because I like how it looks and I'm a retard like that. You can use whatever sized filter paper; it's a cone with the same angle regardless of the size.

>>16971311
I bought one. Hopefully chinks don't have bootleg grinders either. Costed like 60$ because of their 11.11 sale.

>>16975891
Auto drip makers are a heating element, a nozzle, and a few thermocouples. Technivorms come at a premium because they're hand assembled and tested + use a copper element instead of scrap aluminum like 99% of other manufacturers. Thats why there are so many of them left from the 70s still in use. Copper elements are more durable and thermally conductive. Brewing hotter is usually better and you're talking about a big batch brewer so thermal stability throughout the bed probably matters.

Irish whisky... Just use Jameson or Bushmill's bro

>pretend coffee was only worth drinking when it's competition level
Thats not at all my position. I just believe if you're capable of tying your shoes, you can probably pour water into a cone just as good at the competition morons. Using a scale, timer, and remembering what you wanted to change about your last cup is nothing esoteric.

>>16976133
Fuck bushmills black is so good.

>>16976133
Jameson and Bushmill’s are not very exciting whiskies. The mid-palate heat gives them some legs, but there’s almost no complexity of any kind. Some of the flavor notes are nice but they vanish so quickly, it’s simply hard to enjoy them. Now Redbreast Single Pot Still whiskey on the other hand has clear sherry plumminess and a hint of dark fruit up top. The fruit turns more towards prunes and dried apricot, as a real sense of rye-heavy bourbon pepperiness kicks in with a fleeting sense of fresh herbs and vanilla. The sherry-soaked oak is what leads you towards a mellow finish that lingers for just the right amount of time while beckoning you to take another spicy, plummy, and fruit-filled sip.

>>16975002
They're great but they won't do what you want, heat will leave through that conspicuous opening at the top. Outside of mug won't get too hot to touch and it won't leave moisture on wooden surfaces when full, and you can see the coffee.

how much grounds is too much grounds? like say i wanna make cold brew and make it as strong as possible is there a proportion where the water cant hold any more coffee?
i know your not supposed to let it steep for too long but is there an amount of grounds where its just wasteful?

>>16977791
Probably greater than a 1:1 ratio by weight.

So I recently learned that the differences between espresso and ristretto isn't water being run through it longer or shorter. It's actually a finer grind or more densely packed grounds that extracts in a similar amount of time, but yields half the liquid and is also much more concentrated. It's described as bolder and sweeter, and better tasting?

So my question is if it produces better coffee, and the only downside is you get less of it or you might not like how strong the taste is per sip. Why not just water ristretto down instead of making espresso or lungo? It seems like ristretto is the espresso of espresoo and taking the idea of high extraction and high concentration to the limit of what your machine can push out.

>>16977881
by "less of it" I mean less water, less to drink*. Which is fixable unlike less coffee

>>16977881
It's not "better", it just represents the flavor profile differently. And diluting any of them is different again.

I ordered from a turkish vendor once. He played games with me and I was not having it. I kept reaching for the cup and he would move it away from my hand. When I did make contact with the cup, I was left holding a second cup instead of the actual cup with the coffee in it. After his games, I just threw the coffee in his face and walked away.

>>16980332
People drink it,Turkish people.

But if you're asking to value judge methods, turkish coffee is barbaric. You get 100% of what's in the coffee because it's dissolved in water instead of just brewed, that means you get the all the bad flavors of coffee. Generally the point of brew methods is to hold back the bad flavors of coffee.

Eat some coffee grounds. If your reaction was "I wish I could drink what was in my mouth just now", then turkish coffee is for you. I'm not shitting on it. It is drinkable. But you asked what you're in for.

>>16981589
Retard, Turkish coffee is COOKED. It's literally boiled. Eating a raw coffee bean =/= eating a cooked one.

I normally make my coffee with a siphon pot at best and a percolator at worst, but dire circumstances have forced me to regress back into instant coffee. Is there anything better than what’s available in grocery stores for instant coffees or am I doomed to have mediocre cups until I get a house? I promise I’m not trolling, I just don’t have the ability to use my siphon as often as I’d like for the forseeable future.

>>16981600
You can buy instant versions of specialty coffee from many specialty coffee roasters but it is almost certainly prohibitively expensive. Like the place that I order from has one single kind of instant from one of their partners and it's $19 for 6 packets, which is over 3x more expensive than whole bean per cup.

>>16981600

Yeah you wanna swirl that bad boy. With an uneven bed as the water drains through grounds, some will drain quicker and remain drier, some will be wetter, it's essentially channelling so you'll get an uneven extraction. This can give you more complexity but if you want a consistent cup a' joe it's better to find a more repeatable, controllable way to generate that complexity

Black for coffee.
Sugar for any milk-based beverages like Capuccinos, Lattes etc.
It's difficult to discern the flavors in coffee if milk and especially sugar are added. So every coffee will taste the same. I'd say drinking coffee black is a prerequisite to discovering the world of coffee in the first place because it enables you to experience the sheer variety. A high quality, well-extracted coffee from Kenia can almost taste like citrus juice, it has nothing to do with coffee in the typical sense.

My mom and brother (me and my bro rent the same place) threw out the drip coffee maker and replaced it with a shitty keurig rip off. The coffee tastes so shitty and gives me headaches. I feel like i'm gonna kms. I want a strong hot cup of coffee not bitter acid water

>>16989576
that’s how it starts out, you gotta have different coffee than everyone that you live or work with
you’ll probably start off with some entry level pourover setup and you’ll be back here a few time per week with more questions and observations
then you’ll get into aeropress, or start asking about buying an espresso machine for some arbitrary budget…no matter how much money and time you spend on coffee you will never be happy and will always be trying to find something better

my advice to you is either kill yourself now, or learn to enjoy what you have at home currently

Have you used a moka pot before? The 6 cup one i have only takes a little more than a cup of water max (270 ml vs 235) however it is marketed as "6 cups." Now I understand that a typical espresso shot is 30 ml, whereas each "cup" here is 45 ml (if you divide the 270 ml total by 6) but I also know it isn't really making espresso. My question is whether i am making a milk drink with 2 "espresso shots" if i divide the serving in half or if i am making it with too much/too little coffee.

>>16970395
Probably because you and most other posters in this thread enjoy drinking coffee and actively pursue making and drinking better cups of coffee. Now you might start thinking you know a thing or two, maybe you're the "coffee guy" in your social circle, but Hoffmeme is way more experienced and knowledgeable about what you enjoy than you will likely ever be yourself. For most people that's probably not a big deal- you can throw a basketball around a little and enjoy it while knowing NBA games are happening- but for some people the idea that someone else is living their dream is incredibly infuriating. At this point you have 2 options: accept that there's someone more knowledgeable and experienced than you on a subject you have an interest in and try to learn from them, or reject every idea that comes from that person and only surround yourself with ideas that reinforce your ego don't challenge you in any way. Which do you think most posters here would choose?

>It's difficult to discern the flavors in coffee if milk and especially sugar are added. So every coffee will taste the same. I'd say drinking coffee black is a prerequisite to discovering the world of coffee in the first place because it enables you to experience the sheer variety.

This. Before additions, one should be able to gauge the actuality of coffee first - to know the notes and discern the flavors, etc. Add milk and sugar, if you must, after you've learned how to taste coffee. And yet you'll find, at that time, that you don't even need to

the reason most people add milk/sugar to their coffee is that they're used to shit instant coffee

>>16992617

I think milk makes coffee flavors easier to pick out.

You must be drinking bad quality coffee

Fuck, I used my Aeropress again (was disappointed with first time results) but I let the coffee steep for over a minute instead of the 15 seconds they recommend. It was fucking delicious: acidic but intense body, no bitterness at all. Stale espresso grind, too! Pretty impressed tbqhwy but it is probably the least efficient way to use your beans.

>>16993362
Morning french toast w/butter + syrup and an americano always hits the spot for me

Gotta deal with some bullshit coffee for another 2 days then I'll finally have some good shit again after I go shopping. Getting a coffee subscription from my favorite roster at the end of the month, I'm even going to try the instant coffee because it's most likely the best instant coffee period. I'm going to try to set it up whenever I go shopping, got to make an extra trip because I want good coffee soon but once I finally subscribe I'll be soo good. They are definitely one of the best if not the best roasters in the US, definitely the best in the midwest & south(Sump is located in St Louis and Nashville, just the 2 shops).

>>16990883
not correct, I don't put nearly enough time into making coffee/drinking coffee to give a shit about some nerd, I actually don't really know anything about him but I watched one of his videos once and he was just as faggy and retarded as he looks

>>16993362
No, eating food makes it too hard to taste the coffee. If you eat food alongside coffee you're literally retarded and should take your own life.

>>16995296
Nigga, what? Coffee pairs fantastically with food, particularly sweets and fat. Having lingering sugar or fat in your mouth intensifies the taste of the coffee. Putting something in coffee and diluting it is the real sin.

Regarding Turkish coffee, am I supposed to let the less dense light brown foam bubble through the edges after scooping out some of the black foam, or am I only supposed to be looking for the black foam?

>>16995638
Nevermind, I was just being dumb about it and taking it off the heat before the foam had time to rise fully. Its absolutely crazy how good this coffee tastes. Favorite brewing method for sure.

>new beans
>brew with moka pot
>using boiling water, as even the roaster recommends, leads to grapefruit juice
>using cold water, leads to coffee, and matches the taste profile of the beans
Should I be grinding coarser or something? I'm guessing the boiling water brew is somehow over extracting.

>>16996531

What do you mean? Why would it be an issue (or costly otherwise) to just rinse out lightly or, if there is a lot of residue, just use a small amount of soap and a brush?

>>16996707
Technology disagrees with you.

>>16996712
Pack of 100 cafec filters is about $8. 100 days of water down the drain while you scrub steel mesh is going to add up. Way more convenient to just grab a filter and throw it in the compost when I'm done.

Is this a meme?

>>16993362
All the time; it's a great mix. A pastry, or a piece of cake/pie, or a donut, and a cup of good, black coffee is almost perfect. Dark roasts are good to stand up against the heavier stuff, light roast for lighter sweets, as you might expect.

Back when creating good coffee was basically up to random combinations of soil, climate, sorting, processing and so on, that stuff won the statistical lottery and was among the best. Coffee is much better understood now and producers all over the world know how to make top quality beans, so you're basically just buying nostalgia (or in most cases, fraudulent product)

Fellow clara or espro p7.

I'm fine using oat milk instead of dairy, it's fine. Kirkland brand.

>>16997517
i'd buy oat milk, but all the brands around me include fucking added sugar. so fucking annoying.

What's a cheap grinder that can achieve a Turkish coffee grind? I'd prefer one that does only that since I already have an Orphan Express (it can't get fine enough for Turkish though).

>>16988871
Pretty tricky to do while retaining the 'iced coffee' part. A smoothie could work, blend in organic pb, dates, banana, would go really well with coffee. In terms of just adding shit and stirring it in I'm not sure. Chia seeds maybe? That'd fuck with the texture quite a lot though

I wouldn't sleep on milk coffees. I normally drink black myself but they can be really, truly delicious when done well. When the coffee flavour cuts through, but is just sweetened up a touch and balanced by the steamed milk it's truly orgasmic
>>16991991
The more you disturb the bed the longer your drawdown. If that's what works then more power to you. Could try grinding a little finer or lowering temp to achieve this as well, but hey if it ain't broke

>>16997551
I'm buying a Sozen hand grinder, but that's specifically for Turkish coffee. Supposedly one of the most authentic manufacturers.
In the meantime, just bring your beans to a coffee shop and ask if they can grind to Turkish for you. That's what I do presently.

>>16997551
>>16999871
>cheaper
forgot about that part! the sozen is still $60, which is inexpensive compared to decent electric grinders
you can find workable specifically turkish ones for maybe even $25-$30 but I can't vouch for their quality

Are there any actually consistent cheap burr grinders under $100 / a good buying guide for burr grinders? These stupid fucking americas test kitchen videos always have such expensive products. Their Best Buy (capresso infinity conical burr) was like $100 and best overall (Baratza encore) was like 140$. I’m tempted to just buy the nicer one because the video said the Best Buy was shittier with lower qualities of beans but didn’t really explain how

Are any manual burr grinders actually consistent? Do we have a buying guide somewhere ?

>>17000166
Hand grinders will be more consistent at a given price point. James Hoffmeme has a decent hand grinder review for both high end and low end grinders

>>17000166
Baratza is supposed to have good grinders, so I'd definitely get it at that price point.

I can't stress it enough. Zero siltiness like a french press, but perfect extraction. I just bought a new pourover funnel and the difference is pretty huge.

A modern espresso focused hand grinder is going to blow a tiny turkish brass tube out of the water. Super fine grind size + small burrs and a wobbly handle means you're going to be working your ass off to grind through 18g of beans.

Reccomend me a good light roast whole bean I can order from Amazon. I've been buying the same brand for a while cause it's fairly cheap, but I'd like to try some different beans. I use french press and cold brew.

>>17001658
oh, i don't give a fuck about the effort needed to grind it. i'm not a fat as fatass like 90% of this board. and i'm not paying $200 for another grinder just to use for one type of grind.

>>17000409
>Anyone have any suggestions for spiced coffee?
Cinnamon is pretty classic to do as well. I'm sure if you did some cinnamon and maybe a tiny, tiny bit of nutmeg, and it might be good

>>17000409
Here's my spiced coffee recipe, I hope you guys make it and then tell me what you think:
Ingredients:
>Ground cafe du monde (or preferred coffee. Cheaper coffees require no cold brew hot bloom and can be directly cold brewed).
RATIO: ONE CUP COFFEE-4 CUPS WATER
>Star anise (~2 pods/1 teaspoon),
>Vanilla extract,
>Cloves (2-4 cloves to taste; you can always add more at the end but you can't take away!),
>Cinnamon (about 1/2 to 1 stick, or, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground),
>Ginger (4 teaspoons),
>Nutmeg (1 teaspoon. Remember that nutmeg is sweet and you're adding sweetened milk, this recipe makes 4 servings!) to taste,
>1/4 cup coconut cream (NOT CREAM OF COCONUT, that is sweetened), 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (total, so 1/16 cup or 1 tablespoon per drink, of each),

Cold brew, hot bloom your coffee: pour about 1.5 cups of hot water over the grounds, shove your spices and vanilla in while it's still hot, allow to bloom for 30 seconds, then pour over the rest of your water. Let steep in the fridge or at room temp--covered, obviously--overnight. Let those flavors get to know eachother and mingle. You can add your 1/2 cup coconut cream and 1/2 cup S.C. milk now, or 1/16 cup each, per drink, when you are serving it. I prefer now.

Take that bitch out, filter it through a fine meshed sieve. Drink it.

Aldi are selling De’Longhi Dedica Espresso Machines (pic related on special soon) for $169 aussie dollarydoos, I see they usually retail for about $200. Thinking of getting one but I was wondering if I could do any better for about the same price?
For context $169 AUD is equivalent to $122 USD, although we have GST and stuff so I don't think think the same machine would retail for exactly $122 in the US.
Also wondering about getting an automatic grinder in the future for maybe $100-150 if anyone has any suggestions.

>>17003421
get a moka pot you’ll get the same results and it won’t break as quick

Brb, gonna do some push-ups.

>>17003568
that bialetti there, the only thing that can go wrong with it (until the electric element goes out after a decade of service) is a moka pot gasket that you buy get almost anywhere
the chinkshit disposable machine has too much to break & go wrong with it and finding replacement parts, it’s just gonna be easier to throw it out and start over
in terms of output, it’s the same stuff: strong coffee made by forcing steam-pressure water through grounds, but don’t fool yourself it’s not really espresso

>>17003568
Both.

>>16969938
who here /night sip/?

>>17003568
Don't know much about the breakages personally but you're going to struggle to get any consistency out of the coffee. If you're not into espresso it's not really something worth half-assing as mokapot will get you virtually the same result as this thing would anyway. It's pretty much a waste of money.

Also I've got a one cup and three cup moka pot, but I find with the one cup moka pot the water passes through the filter a lot faster, is that alright? Maybe I should do a finer grind for it. I pre-heat the water as well btw.
And do you guys bother taking it apart to wash it every time you use it or just give it a rinse?

>>17003801

I just put ~ 3/4 of 1/4 tsp of cardamom on top of my tamped grounds and pulled a shot. The espresso was much more bitter than I normally get with the beans I used. The Americano I made from it has a hint of that cardamom flavor, but isn't overly punchy

>>17004591

>>17003692
can't have coffee past 2pm or i won't sleep

>>17003421
I actually researched this thing. It has proper temp control but you'll still have to run an empty shot beforehand.
This is a popular machine so parts are plenty. But a large part of its structure is integrated into the frame. So if say the grouphead breaks somehow then the whole thing is fucked.
You can replace the panarello wand cover with a sleeve that turns it into a proper wand. Or just replace the entire wand. Or even just pulling the cover off and use the tube inside.
You can get unpressurized baskets and bottomless portafilters for it too if you feel like it.
I honestly would pick a machine over moka any day, even those shitty steam machines, which are basically just higher pressure moka pots anyway. The moka pot is just too fiddly, both to prepare, brew and clean. I have a real hard time using it with my gas stove too, basically have to hold the thing in the air while brewing.

>>17005976
Its a thermoblock surrounded by plastic with a 15bar pump. You didn't do shit for research.

How long do nice manual grinders like a 1zpresso take to actually grind beans? I make cold brew a lot which can be like 70-100g at a time but im worried that it would take too long/be too strenuous

>>16993362
2-hit taste combo

>>17008751
I have a k-plus. I do 45g for pourover at a medium-fine (mark 7 or 70 clicks). It takes me about 60 seconds. It's definitely faster than cheap electric burr grinders, especially if you're counting cleaning out retained grounds. That's a pain in the ass for almost every electric. I believe it has a heptagonal burr, and a fairly long handle compared to other grinders, which makes it faster.

>>17008908
Oh, medium roasts usually. Smooth a butter. When I grind up lighter roasts it still takes about the same amount of time. I can feel a bit more resistance. Nothing I would consider a workout. I have never needed soibot 9000 to open bottles for me.

Yeah but just spend a few more bucks and get something else if you can. You're going to be using it for the next few years.

>>17009557
I really can't. I maybe could get the slim version which is supposedly better than the C2 ones? I dunno. Both seem better than the Bialetti grinder I had, because it's fragile shit

>>17009577
Ah nope, nevermind. 60$ and free shipping vs 110$, fuck that. I am getting the C2. Should be good enough.
I know there's also that aeropress grinder or whatever it's called, but it's probably still more expensive. Yeah I'll go with the aliexpress timemore c2 for sure.
