I've just finished a nice cup of French roast. And now? I'm going to enjoy hurting my breasts with knitting needles.

>>17009654
I decided to get adventurous this morning and put some cloves and bits of cinnamon sticks in my coffee grounds for my chemex. Then I mixed the resulting concoction with a little egg nog and topped it off with some ground nutmeg. It was as delicious as you might expect. Very comfy.

>>17009654
the other thread still has like a day's worth of replies at the current rate

are the 1zespresso jx (140$) and the 1zespresso jx pro (160) the best manuals at that price point? I dont see Hoffmeme talking about this price range so I'm not entirely sure if there's better similarly priced options

>>17009874
looking for something from like 100-150 probably

>>17009874
Probably nothing else in that range other than the equivalent kingrinders, but those might be hard to find.

>>17009874
I use a Lido ET but started with a ceramic nightmare.When paired with Aeropress, it's enough to make a nigga cry. It is so good with some single origin and freshly light roasted coffee. I am a barista too, and can confirm that with hand grinders it really doesn't matter after a certain point. I bought the lido ET for the speed and capacity but it's within the RANGE of all the other high end grinders. So don't worry my man, just get one with the ability to do filter and espresso and you'll be set till your house catches fire.

>>17010055
Yeah. I was thinking about those 1z espresso ones bc of speed reasons and price. I’ll check out the one you sent tho. Do you think i would need the nicer one (JX pro) for something like aeropress? The Amazon page says JX pro can do espresso and the JX can’t.

Cinnabon K cup in the machine.
Sweetened with aspartame.

>Snowfall before thanksgiving this year
Yup, its going to be a long winter
Any recommendations on cup warmers that wont burn down my house?

>>17010143
The old JX had 24 clicks and the newer basic JX models seem to have 30! So it should now be better for dialing in on espresso shots, but overall the JX Pro will be hands down easier to use with espresso since it is less sensitive when adjusting grind size (dialing in). And since it can do espresso, you'll definitely be able to use it with the Aeropress<3

Just remember though, the JX Pro only has 10 more clicks than the JX, which makes it a 40 click grinder. The J-Max and K line all have 90 clicks! So basically, the JX pro is like medium sized pop corn, it's there to tempt you into buying the jumbo.

The Aeropress is similar to the moka pot as in they're both sorta like a pseudo espresso, more extraction with less water. Neither normally go down the true espresso grind sizes so you won't have to worry about playing around with the smallest variables.

>>17009654
Today I had my coffee with some Carnation Breakfast Essentials vanilla powder mixed in

>>17010648
I've heard the best two coffee warmers are ember mugs and microwaves.

If I'm being honest, I fucking love thermoses. Doesn't matter what brand really as long as it's vacuumed sealed. I love the idea of preserving energy rather than introducing more. I have a $40USD Stanley, a cheap $14USD Zak! from Target, and a $12USD Bubba mug from Walmart which is also has a vacuum sealed aluminum body with a flat clear plastic lid which resembles your normal throw away coffee cup lid.

I have literally had two day old coffee from my Stanley and it still had a hint of warmth! I used to work at a hardware store before becoming a barista and I made my Stanley 4 cups x 6oz in the morning, and in the evening it would still be steaming even if it had just one cup left. The Zak lasts for around 7 hours but it's more light weight and geared towards commuting folks. And my Bubba is just for drinking whatever within the next few hours, though it lasts for probably about 5 with hot drinks.

Remember too, the vacuum can be used for good and EVIL! Hot and cold drinks, so remember anons it's all about options!

>>17011115
>they're both sorta like a pseudo espresso
jfc. I'll be in the old thread.

>>17011212
Show me on the doll where 9 bars of pressure touched you?

>>17011210
Wasn't even aware of the Ember mugs
Thanks for the feedback anon

>>17011231
>Not brewing at 6 in 2021
pseud indeed.

>>17009712
I don't use any cleaning products on my moka pot beyond hot water and dish soap, but plan on asking for some cafiza for christmas to see how it works on my other coffee equipment.

>>17011725
I use alconox/liquinox. Free rinsing lab glass cleaner. Dilute it down however you'd like.

https://www.alconox.com/product/liquinox

still suffering with my delonghi espresso machine and store ground coffee. at least it can make a decent cappucino

>>17011172
this sounds fantastic fr

I love how morons have convinced themselves the ap is the perfect pour over cylinder and espresso maker.

I quickly realized my dumbass mistake, wish I tried it to see how foul it was.

>>17015284
I adopted the mindset that anything that makes it into the cup gets consumed. Drinking bad shots gives you appreciation for average shots, drinking average shots etc etc.

>>17009654
luv me moka pot lads

Don't even have to measure, just fill to max since that is optimal anyway
Don't need fancy grinder like for espresso
Consistent results every time
Very good for pouring over ice when I feel like it

>>17015162
And of course now the second cup is kinda weak

What do you guys think of peruvian specialty coffee?

Are light roasts lighter in terms of weight? Should I change the brew ratio for them?

oh fugg lads i finally made good latte art
t. 9barfag

>>17015963
no. darker roasts are less dense than lighter roasts

>>17016135

i got my niche earlier this week and i've just about got it dialed in for Onyx Moncarch beans

>>17012017
Do you have any cafes nearby? They can sell you freshly ground beans, can guarantee it'd be a huge improvement

>>17013389
Jokes on you; I'm only interested in her milkers.

alright retards,
shill me a good coffee for espresso similar to Onyx Monarch or Onyx Eclipse
alternatively, shill me a really weird or exotic coffee that would brew well as an espresso

>>17016573
start looking at light roasts
start looking at single origins

some are difficult to dial in and even then they don't excel at being espresso
but sometimes you'll find something that blows you away and trying new things is what this stupid hobby is all about

>>17015364
Don't buy a brikka. You need exact amounts of water, and even if everything is perfect i'll stall and whistle instead of pouring the coffee.
The coffee froth is nice when it works though.


Will there be a sale for the Flair pro 2. If it goes -100$ or more I'd impulse buy against my better judgement

Is French press coffee the best and most unpretentious?

>>17017514
its just okay

t. barista

>>17017572
You're just saying that, because if more people knew about french press you'd lose your job.

Does espresso have less caffeine than a latte or something? That's what google tells me
>>17012623
kek

>>17018150
ounce-for-ounce? yeah
but considering that a latte is actually made of espresso with steamed milk added to it, I’m gonna have to say that they both contain the same amount of caffeine

weren't we promised an updated & improved recipe by thanksgiving? little dude's got only 4 days now to get it in

>>17019203
>Noooo he actually liked it before it ended up down the drain
>Doesn't matter than everyone he forced to taste it immediately spit it out he said it was fine at first youre just gaslighting me

What's some decent coffee I can buy at wallyworld? My single origin stuff is all delayed and picrel sucks.

Where my robusta and phin filter bros and sis at?

>>17019203
Its taken a month and a half to improve on cafe du monde and a congealed mess of sweetened condensed milk.

>>17019203
I wish I got residuals every time I see you post that picture

I was kinda wondering about coldbrew fag recently as well for the same reason though, not that I’m really jumping up and down to try another one of his recipes

>>17020769
He walked to the gasstation while samefagging on his phone to defend himself. That might be the biggest shitshow I've caused in these threads lel.

>>17020530
Dropped that shit for pourover. Cleaning is 3 times faster now.

>>What are you drinking

>>What are you thinking
why is there a fish in my percolator
>>Why aren't you blinking
I'm still wowed by the fish being in my percolator

I don't even have fish in my percolator, but the garbage coffee I've bought tastes like fbish anyway

>>17021892
What? You save about 15s by throwing away the filter instead of rinsing the phin thingy. What do you do with the time you saved?

>>17015816
Prefer Brazilian or Nigerian beans

I like Sumatra coffee. Feels like I'm drinking a tree or something.

>>17024774

>>17025223
Tastes like hot jungle mud stirred with a dank mushroom log. It's fun to have when you wanna change it up after drinking a lot of bright, delicate coffees. I saw a rare natural process Sumatran last year that had a banana flavor. I'm sad that I didn't get to try that one.

>>17025255
Sooo just because black people made it, it's "banana flavored" to you? Unbelievable.

>>17022076

You know, purely hypothetical, would Isinglass have any effect on a coffee? It's used to clarify beer and wine, so I have to wonder if it'd do anything for coffee.
I imagine you'd have to cold brew it.

I need a new grinder, gonna spend around $150-200, is there anything else worth considering besides the baratza encore? I know Reddit and most coffee enthusiasts have a hard on for the thing but there's a kitchen-aid on Amazon that people are saying is quieter, produces no static, and grinds as consistently that I'm leaning towards.

>>17025226
Thanks for your valuable input

>>17009654
Cuban is kinda shit for hot beverages but makes a great frappe. Strong bitterness, acidic and complex fruit profile pairs well with sugar and no vanilla.
>>17012623
Sounds based...on the framework for a new critique of liquidx

>>17025541
i don't like electric grinders, too noisy

>>17025541
>I know Reddit and most coffee enthusiasts
That right there should tell you not to buy it.
>kitchen-aid on Amazon that people are saying is quieter
Get bit the bullet and get a 1zpresso or kinu. Etzinger has some new hand grinders coming out soon but they're a little out of your price range it looks like.

>>17025887
>Get bit the bullet
Jesus this is why I should post after coof.

>>17025541
Breville SGP™ the absolute moast bang for your buck hands down blows the competition out of the water

>>17025843
>>17025887
thanks for the suggestions but it has to be electric, this is for every day use in the morning, and I'm lazy. And I feel this price range will provide a significant upgrade from the cheapo one I've been using.
>>17025953
I'm gonna try the kitchen aid but that's gonna be my go-to if I return it. That or the fellow ode night be hard to resist if I go over $200

>>17026787
I think you should try this shit out.

Cheap flat burr carriers essentially.

I bought new gaskets for my moka pot so why do they have a sweet scent out of the package??? I wasn't planning on ever replacing the original gasket but it turns out a new one actually makes a significantly better brew. I got 2 extras and an extra metal filter, so how often should I be replacing these? And should I just get them off chinks on aliexpress instead of buying "official" ones?

anyone use this?

>>17009654

>>17025541
get a hand-grinder

>>17028171
WHO DO YOU THINK THIS IS THERE?!?

>>17028082
1200 watt

>>17029157
What's the best hand-grinder for that price range? Comandante?

>>17030927
There's solid shit all over that 1-300 range. 1zpresso q2s are cheap commandante killers and people like them(hepta>penta burrs apparently). Bumping up another bill you're in kinu phoenix and j pro territory. Bump up another hundred you're in the nicer kinus(same burrs, better build) and 1zpressos with more features/adjustability. Timemore chesnut x is also worth looking at around 300. Commandante is great, but expensive, and only gets more expensive with accessories like redclix. Etzinger is launching two new handgrinders in december so you could preorder one of those for like $270. Basically buy anything ~200 thats not a lido.

>>17030927
funny you should mention it my latest project was taking apart a Breville SGP and removing the motor to install a hand crank on the side
this really will give the best of both worlds, having a hand grinder and having all the features and advanced function of the Breville SGP grinder

>>17031131
make sure to upload a picture of your frankengrinder once you're finished making it
I wanna see it

>>17031194
here ya go, senpai

>>17031354
I liek it!

>>17026994
don't by ch*nese

>>17031530
Huh?

alright lads I've got exactly 100g of stale beans
what's your favorite ratio for cold brew?

>local cafe has cortado and gibraltar on the menu as separate items

>>17032526
~450g of water

did the fellow ode get the stock burr upgrade that they promised in regards to grinding finer? I read they said it was coming summer 2021 but can't find any info confirming it actually comes with burrs that grind finer now

>>17031354

Good evening, /ctg/. I hope you guys won't look down on me for this. My iCoffee Mozart just had a parts failure and, as the company went out of business years ago, needs replacing. I really liked the iCoffee -- it had a way of mimicking a French press, and I liked it's "dial-a-cup" feature that allowed you to make half-oz sizes. Can you recommend a new machine of similar quality? I remember I bought the iCoffee for about $80 dollars years ago, but I doubt I could get something as good as inexpensively. I'm open to your suggestions!

>>17033232
i already told you, buy a fucking french press you fucking jackoff

>>17033266
I've used a French press before. Yes, I like the coffee it makes. But it's too time-consuming for my morning routine. I need to fill my travel mug and get out the door. I don't have the time to boil water, steep the coffee, and make the cup. I'm sorry if that offends you, but that's the situation I'm dealing with here.

>>17033364
so then buy some other sino-made plastic meme pod machine but maybe this time buy a reputable brand if customer support is something you will require in the future
or just buy the cheapest one you can find on amazon those things are made to be disposable when they shit out on you anyways

>>17033364
>I don't have the time to boil water, steep the coffee, and make the cup
It's 8 minutes out of your day.
it's not even an active 8 minutes.

>>17033551
What did I do to deserve this hostility, man? I asked a question about a kitchen appliance.

>>17033594
so go read some fucking reviews and then make a decision based on that do you honestly think everyone on /ck/ has tried every machine on the market and is in a position to be making an objective & informed decision on your behalf? we're not your personal search engine

>>17033610
I figured I'd ask the kitchen people if they had any hands-on experience with preferred appliances.

>making 6% a month on MSFT
>making .7% on everything else
ugh... I don't like being in this situation

>>17033621
and we told you
BUY A FUCKING FRENCH PRESS

if boiling water cause you so much consternation, buy an electric kettle to go with your new french press it doesn’t really take that much time to make a proper coffee

Does anyone in this thread ever discuss coffee cake?

>>17033744
i tried once and all we got was an argument over whether coffee means cakes eaten with coffee or coffee flavoured cake

>>17033746
what's the deal with coffee cake? it's not like there's any coffee in it

>>17033621
I gave you a real answer. Buy a gevi 2 in 1. Press a button, it'll grind your beans fresh and boil water. All you need to do is move it under the spout and you'll have coffee in a few minutes while you shower.

>>17032526
100-150g hot bloom

Is HARIO brand hand-grinders any good?

>>17033653

>>17034690
what would a glass company know anything about making coffee grinders? get yourself a Breville

Ceramic bad.
You drop a little and the most important part snaps

>>17025503
Couldn’t tell you about that but I get some pretty nice clean results from just filtering cold brew through a V60
Here’s my iced coffee recipe. I hope you guys don’t change a goddamn thing about it and I could give a flying shit about what you think:
Ingredients:
>A good coffee of your choice
>Cold water
RATIO: ONE PART COFFEE TO ~6-8 PARTS WATER BY WEIGHT
>That’s it (adding anything else to coldbrew causes autism, cancer, & GRIDS)

Grind your coffee and funnel it into an appropriate size jar. Add the water, give it a quick stir, pop a lid onto the jar and put it in the fridge for 12-16 hours.

Take that bitch out, filter it through a V60. Drink it.

>>17010648
Just get a double walled glass mug

>>17034690
HARIO products are aesthetic but the grinders are bad.

>>17033512
Just boil some water the night before and put it in the fridge

I have access to several 3D printing, milling and laser cutting equipment… how difficult would it be to build my own espresso machine? The most rudimentary type of course, no digital programming bullshit

>>17035481
I've never made cold brew before but I'm intrigued by how popular it is
is it actually good? if I drink regular coffee black will I enjoy cold brew black? assuming the caffeine dose is about the same or would it be stronger given the stronger ratio?

>>17035979
you can make it very strong, even as much as a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio
since the extraction is cold, a lot of the bitter and undesirable flavors stay behind and the brewed coffee itself has a remarkably crisp flavor even if it is quite strong
anything beyond a 16 hour steep is overkill and some will say that’s when the undesirable flavors start to emerge
the beauty with very strong cold brew is that it can be diluted with water, ice cubes, milk, etc.
cold brew concentrate is also how they get the coffee flavor into coffee beers

thoughts on the sage/breville bambino plus?
can get one for about $225

Stocked up on more coffee and I wasn't running low at all. Had to get some flavored coffee for the wife but it's actually pretty good, it's from a local roaster and it's basically the only coffee she drinks and it's the only flavored coffee I'll drink.

>>17031354
that looks shopped

>>17035346
Who is the real spammer anon

man I just got a new grinder and I just keep making shit coffee with it.
if my old grinder was cheap and produced a lot of fines, and I want a similar result (taste wise) with my new grinder, the grind should be slightly finer?

>>17037707
What grinders

You are all a bunch of degenerate addicts. Seek help.

>>17037846
the new one is a kitchen aid KCG8433BM if you want to look it up. The old one was some off brand I got at bed bath and beyond for like $40.
I can't really tell if it's grinder more consistently but it's super quiet and has literally no static so I really want to love it.

>>17038002
Yeah so you got scammed. Return it if you can.

>>17038124
what should I get and don't recommend a manual it has to be electric. are conical burrs inherently less consistent?
it's a shame if it is the inconsistency of it because it's literally perfect otherwise, there's like no other grinders out there with no static.

>>17038132
You bought a $65 grinder with the kitchenaid name plastered on it for $165.
> there's like no other grinders out there with no static.
Correct. But a grinder with less static isn't going to make you a better cup...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxQ2mVL8wSc

>>17038203
what do you recommend in the way of electric grinders

>>17038397
Mignon Manuale. Ugly reliable 50mm flat burr tank. Whereas kitchenaid took a shitty grinder and tried to tack on features to justify the price, eureka took a great grinder and stripped out the unnecessary shit like screens a $2 dosing timer they upcharge you $80 for.

>>17038529
Is the mignon filtro any good? I'm only looking to spend 200ish, and it's not for espresso just v60

>>17039187
50mm flats but its a different cut than the manuale. Same wattage motor(SCG says its a different motor), same housing, same adjustment dial as the manuale. I believe people say they do better with a full hopper(like most cheap flat burr grinders) so just dumping in a bag for the weeks v60s will probably be optimal. Haven't used one but its going to blow the fuck out of anything breville/baratza/kitchenaid put out. Looks like a good buy if you're never going to fuck with espresso.

>>17039310
nice thanks for the advice
any experience with the Urbanic 070S

are reusable filter pourovers a meme? I kinda wanna try one but I've heard mixed reviews. may just stick with my v60

>>17039557
No but fagboy hedrick did a video on all those clones. I posted it here.
>>17026972
Tldw it has a 250w motor but doesn't fit ssp burrs. Fits the burrs in the gevi tho. The Akira Koki M520a at ~$140 fits ssps and the gevi so if you're wanting a burr carrier for cheap, thats probably the way to go. You have to order off some guy on facebook though? He's got the link in the description. Toss Lance a dislike while you still can please. He's a small enough channel I'm sure it gets to him.

>>17038132
>it has to be electric
Why?

>>17040104
arms are tired from constantly fapping

>>17039671
they have to be washed. really well
and even then they get scummed up with fine oil and eventually will need replacement. most people just give them a quick rinse and they start getting disgusting after only a month or so
stick to paper filters

between the baratza encore, virtuoso and mignon filtro which should I get
>>17039557
i think I'm gonna pass on this because it comes from korea and haven't seen as many reviews as the others

>>17041089

https://youtu.be/xoM93jK5BCE

I recently decided to stop giving money to the cancerous coffee chains and capsulejews and learn how to actually brew decent coffee.
Is a chemex a decent starting point, or is it a meme? I know I'll also need a coffee grinder, a pouring kettle and some good beans - am I missing anything here?

What's the best hand grinder I can get for around $100? I ordered a yama-glass vac pot and burner, so I want a finer grind to go with that. Yama-glass doesn't make grinders, so I'm looking at other brands. Timemore looks really good for the money, is there anything else I should consider in this price range? I would say that steel burrs is a must, I am not happy with the fineness and consistency of ceramic grinders.

>>17043199
I've always thought of the chemex as a bit of a meme, I've always heard the paper is so thick and it slows down your brew and it ends up weak and tea like. But I know a lot of people like it.
I always recommend a clever dripper for people getting into good coffee. It's hard to make a bad cup with it. Maybe the aeropress if you're up for a learning curve.

>Recently bought stuff to start grinding my own beans and making espresso at home
>Bought the "price meets quality" recommendations on a few review sites
>Look at this thread for the first time
>No one mentions them in any capacity
I feel I have made a mistake in my product decisions

>>17043199
I started with a V60. They sell starter kits on Amazon.

I started with cheap beans because I knew I'd fuck up the first batches. Make sure you've got a scale.

>>17043357
>recommendations on a few review sites
Yeah those are amazon affiliate link farms pal.

is it true? do grinders have a break-in period where they produce more fines? specifically conical

>>17043507
100%. Also true on the coating. Thats why weber seasons their burrs before the tin coating and why people send in their burrs to ssp to be coated after a few years of use.

>>17043199
>capsulejews
There's reusable metal mesh capsules for most of the popular capsule machines.

>>17043534
how does one factor this in when buying a new grinder? do you just trust the reviews that once you break it in, it'll grind better?

>>17043934
also to add to this, how do I make better coffee during the break-in process assuming I'm stuck with more fines? do I just grind coarser?

>>17043934
You hope the reviewer ran a few lbs through it before evaluating.
> how do I make better coffee during the break-in process
Don't get autistically locked into a number on your grinder because you got a good cup with it before. That number is going to drift as your burrs season. You're buying adjustability, so use it.

Alright, if I want to get into PROPER Coffee on a budget, what am I looking at in terms of gear and minimum prices on each?
I want to brew whole bean coffee, ground myself. I don't know that I want to roast my own beans since it's apparently a massive pain to do in a traditional oven (is it easy to do in an air fryer? Legitimate question.)

Timemore C2, or some Kingrinders if you can buy one.
1z Q2 also falls under this range I think.

>>17044316
The cheapest one is plastic. Since it's plastic you won't have to think much about thermal loss.

>>17044547
Thanks, I looked at the C2 and Q2 and I had decided to get the C2. But actually, after looking into it, it looked like the Timemore Slim Plus had a lot of good upgrades (burrs and parts) over the C2, so I went with that. It was pretty close to $100 after coupons.

>>17045147
Sick. Let us know how you like it.

>>17045147
You'll like the C2. The only reason I got rid of mine is that I wanted a Lido 3 just for the looks.

Wound up making a last minute decision to go to the KINGrinder K3 for the titanium coated burr since I like finer grinds, it's on sale for $20 off on Amazon right now.

>>17045374
Coincidentally I just ordered a K0 today myself.
Cheaper than the C2 while being better built.

>>17045417
Yeah, the K0 offers a really good value, it BTFO's timemore in that price range desu. Once you get up to the slim, the timemore's look a little better built to me, but the burrs are lacking.

my platic v60 is some of the toughest plastic i have ever seen.

>>17045494
they make them with bpa free plastic "rated for boiling in" but anyone that's used one daily for a year can tell you that plastic eventually wears down and disintegrates. even the aeropress.

>>17045531
no the aeropress is supposed to last forever delete this post

>>17033364
Just cold brew your coffee. It'll be ready and waiting for you when you wake up.

>>17045531
Light and heat eventually breaks them down making them leach out. Its why long time aeropressers are so fucking stupid. At under $10 for plastic v60s, why in the fuck wouldn't you replace them every few years..

>>17045662
Just wash them in the dishwasher, that way all the leaching is done before you make your coffee.

>>17045662
or you could just buy ceramic and not have to worry about when the plastic chemicals start leeching into your cup

Do you really make coffee that weak?

>>17046433
>>17046516
ngl i've never actually weighed out or measured the amount of coffee i use per pot. its probably about a cup per 1L

>>17046526
10g is approximately one 2-tablespoon coffee scoop. Unless you're calling a 6oz cup a cup of coffee, that's pretty darn weak. $26/lb is fuckin' expensive.

>>17046660
Just find a different local supplier, maybe a resaler. You can still do better than grocery store beenz for a fraction of $26/lb.

>>17046660
I dunno, everything is relative.
What's a cup of coffee at a local coffee shop? What's a cup of "coffee" if you go to some shit chain like Dunkin' or Starbucks?
I guess you can get fast food Coffee for like $1 from McDonalds or wherever but if it's 20g of beans for a proper cup that's still only $1.20

You replace the gaskets after extended periods of not being used; they enjoy use, it keeps them flexible. As long as they stay clean, limber, and don't carry a sour scent, they're fine to keep using. Just check for tears before and after

>>17048847
>what am i doing wrong bros?
I'd say using an aeropress

I know it's a long shot since the good brand don't tend to do sales, but any good grinder deals going on worth looking at currently? I'm looking into replacing my piece of shit no name electric grinder that I've had for years and want to get something actually worthwhile. I pretty much just make pour over but was considering grabbing an aeropress or moka pot soon just to try something new. I saw the fellow ode on a pretty decent discount for $240 at the moment, I know it's a bit of a meme brand but anyone have one to say whether it's actually worth the money? Any better deals out there I've missed?

Not really interested in a manual grinder at the moment, I know an electric grinder sacrifices some price/quality to go to the motor and I'm fine with that since I know those responses are coming.

>>17048847
Finer grind, hotter water, longer steep. Sour is under extracted so do things that increase extraction.

You are stirring the brew before letting it steep, right?

>>17049084
Reusable pods they can be filled with whatever you want do exist for some machines, though to me that's just creating more work vs just doing pourover

>>17049803
I just went through this and settled on the mignon crono, just arrived today so can't comment on it yet.
But the ode is a solid grinder and is on sale atm but I passed on it due to the consensus of it not grinding fine enough for some people's v60 technique. plus I generally grind finer for my aeropress than my v60 so.
baratza almost never go on sale but they're solid. although messy and loud.

>>17049916
reusable pods also don't create enough back pressure on the machine and they taste like shit most of the time

>>17050467
I've heard good things about the mignon grinders as well, I saw the filtro selling for like $200 but I think that one's not so good for coarser methods right? How much did you pay for the crono?

>>17009654
there was a fish
IN THE PERCOLATOR

>>17050981
Mignon manual is their cheap espresso one. Filtro is their cheaper filter one in the same housing. Crono is a filtro+a timer so you don't have to continually hold the on switch like the others.

very new to coffee
started making coffee using a moka pot and coffee beans that I grinded myself. it's so good and i love how strong it is, I actually can't drink instant coffee anymore it tastes so disgusting now

I've ran out of coffee quickly now though. can i get a big tub of ground coffee I can use for my moka pot? what should I use?

>>17051028
Preground will always be shit, find a local roaster and get something that sounds interesting then grind it yourself

>>17051028
>moka pot and coffee beans that I grinded myself.
Do this.

How does moka pot compare to aeropress?

>>17050981
supposedly they changed the burrs in the filtro and crono to be better suited for brewed coffee instead of espresso. Mine shipped from Seattle coffee gear and I might email them to confirm. I paid 250 on Amazon. But yeah the crono is basically a filtro but I didn't like the fact that you had to hold the button on the side to get it to grind all your beans so I shelled out an extra 50.
Haven't made coffee with it yet but you can tell it's much higher build quality than anything else in this price range.

>>17051473
Good info, yeah having to hold the button would be a pain in the ass. I don't understand why more of the cheaper grinders don't go the encore route of just having an on/off switch without a timer, though I guess the idea on the filtro is people will be waiting there for it to dose from a full hopper rather than single dosing.

I may bite the bullet on the crono, I do like the look of it and the general buzz on how it grinds.

>>17051137
>local roaster
doubt i can find anything like that, isn't store bought good enough?

>>17051173
does it matter how i do it? i've been doing it with a hand blender and it seemed fine enough

>>17051278
Aeropress is closer to a strong filter brew, because you use a paper filter so you'll get less sediment and oils. Moka is closer to an espresso in style while being nowhere near as strong, but you get almost crema with more body.

>>17051617
Local is best if you can get it, but if not whole bean from the store is fine just try to find one that labels the roast date and get something as recent as you can.

>Hand blender

>>17051911
Why do you even bother responding to someone that retarded

I'm thinking about getting the flair neo because it's a hundred dollars and has a pressurized portafilter, so it will make up for my Baratza encore's grind quality. I would hate to spend 500 on a good espresso machine and grinder and then not use them as much as I thought I would. I could also get a better grinder and regular portafilter for the flair if I feel the need to upgrade. What do you guys think?

>>17051846
Don't quote me on this but I think a blade grinder/blender will grind too fine for even espresso. And the end result still won't be totally even and consistent.

I've got 4 coffees here and I can't decide what to drink. The red bourbon blend, la esperanaza, ethiopian sakaro gr1 or ethiopian gedeb. I also need to get a few lbs roasted this week so I've got ammo for the key.

ruta maya medium roast. Ground coarse, bodum pourover, 90c water. I love a good drip coffee, and get that experience from pourover to save space and cash versus a decent drip machine.
Whole milk, no sugar.

I just finished cleaning my DeLonghi coffee machine from the inside and got some oil of the screw behind the brewing unit. Do you ever reapply oil or should I just forget about it ? Got a bit oil off it when I used a wet cloth to get rid of coffee residuals.
While on that topic do I need to take the infuser out of the brewing unit or can I just clean it as a whole ? The screw is so tight it won't budge for me.

Ceramic V60 holds heat better than the plastic ones. I would know since I have one of each.

You understand that heat radiating out is a loss right? Plastic is an insulator. It hits equilibrium temp then holds it. Ceramic heats and cools fast with a much higher thermal loss...

>>17056435
>hot things are actually colder than cold things because being hot means they are losing heat
Ok retard
>Plastic is an insulator. It hits equilibrium temp then holds it.
Except that it doesn't because it becomes cold much faster than a ceramic one
>Ceramic heats and cools fast with a much higher thermal loss...
Except that it doesn't because it remains hotter for longer than a plastic one
Your graph is useless garbage by the way kys

Is there any technological solution to not having wait for your espresso machine to heat up? I would throw money at it if there was a technology that helped with this.

Proper temperature is essential to a decent shot and it can take 30-45 min for most semi auto machines to heat up properly.

>>17056499
Yes, obviously but that's such a fucking bother in the morning when the first thing you're used to is coffee.
You would think there would be a way to design a machine to heat quicker instead of relying on ambient heat from a boiler.

Here is a single sentence from one of his books (translated):
>Now, if ends must first be given to us, in relation to which alone the concept of perfection (whether internal in ourselves or external in God) can be the determining ground of the will; and if an end as an object which must precede the determination of the will by a practical rule and contain the ground of the possibility of such a determination — hence as the matter of the will taken as its determining ground — is always empirical; then it can serve as the Epicurean principle of the doctrine of happiness but never as the pure rational principle of the doctrine of morals and of duty (so too, talents and their development only because they contribute to the advantages of life, or the will of God if agreement with it is taken as the object of the will without an antecedent practical principle independent of this idea, can become motives of the will only by means of the happiness we expect from them); from this it follows, first, that all the principles exhibited here are material; second, that they include all possible material principles; and, finally, the conclusion from this, that since material principles are quite unfit to be the supreme moral law (as has been proved), the formal practical principle of pure reason (in accordance with which the mere form of a possible giving of universal law through our maxims must constitute the supreme and immediate determining ground of the will) is the sole principle that can possibly be fit for categorical imperatives, that is, practical laws (which make actions duties), and in general for the principle of morality, whether in appraisals or in application to the human will in determining it.

>>17015963
No. Darker roasted beans have more of their mass roasted out. It's pretty obvious when you weigh your beans.

>>17038132
Get a Baratza Virtuoso. Static is pretty easy to handle. Just take a spoon, run it under water, and then move it throughout your beans. You won't notice the water and it'll get rid of 99 percent of the static.

But like I said it's a shame because that kitchen aid is literally not only the most quiet grinder I've ever heard, it has no static, near 0 retention, it's like perfect. I have a feeling the new burrs being sharper are just producing too many fines to get good coffee out of.
