pussy latte art should be pretty easy. also why dont cafes make different colored milk to do colorful latte art. its pretty easy to do.

Cheap manual grinder? I grind mostly store-bought medium- and dark-roast beans, and I want to start using something with burrs again. I had a baratza encore a few years back that crapped out after 2 years because I used to use it to grind enough for a few days at a time.

The to roasters I want to try are lineage coffee and Orlando coffe roasters.

Lineage is hardcore 3rd wave fruit roast. They have a decent subscription service so I'll probably try it during the summer in my french press.

Orlando coffee roasters has a lot more diverse offerings. The main one I want to try is the Cuban esspresso that uses specialty robusta. Hard to find that in the states.

oh sorry i jumped to this thread and missed your comment.
um pretty much as simple as it gets i think. im pretty new so just a regular 6 shot moka pot and im trying different grounds to see what i like so i got a brazilian ethiopian blend which i really liked but i ran out so now i have to use my colombian which im not a huge fan of, i pretty much use that method that hoffmeme did a few videos on. while the coffee is poured in my mug i start on the milk which i add a tiny bit of sugar to and then microwave until warm and then use one of those cheap hand spiny milk frothers and do that till its like half way to meringue consistency and then back in the microwave to heat up a bit more and then use the frother again to get rid of any last large bubbles and then i pour it into the coffee. i then slightly fold the foam into the coffee a couple times and then go sit down and eat breakfast which atm is jam toast.

i let my coffee sit to cool down because i dont like really hot coffee, i think it kinda ruins the taste, also dont want to burn my tongue which means i wont taste anything at all. if you like your coffee hotter you can start the milk process as soon as the coffee starts rising in the moka pot.

i also think this method works better for naturally sweeter light roasts. i have also tried this method with a mocha and i liked the results. you could probably add cinnamon/nutmeg/holiday spices to the milk foam for a holiday themed version.

My local roaster is maybe only 10% more expensive than the shit they put on grocery store shelves

Your low test is showing again

>>17377115
For any Europeans in the Benelux area, Blommers is a pretty damned amazing micro-roastery. I don't think I've ever ordered beans from them that managed to disappoint me.
https://www.blommers.coffee/en/

This might just be my nostalgia talking since I used to live nearby and just walk to their small roastery to chat about coffee in a hangar-turned-young-entrepreneur mall. Ever since I've been a huge supporter of those local microroasters that embrace seasonality and rotate their selection based on whatever new interesting beans they found.

>>17379464

I tried grinding much finer today for my french press and it came out much thicker. Not sure if I really enjoy it.
Will have to try to steep it for shorter amount of time.
Grinding finer also took so much more time.

Which country grows the best-tasting coffee?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTbJBnkRkFo

>>17382133
ethiopia and its not even close

Got some new beans today, made a perfectly fine v60, not sour not bitter, just a really pleasant, solid cup of coffee. I can't stop there though, is there a way to bring out more sweetness in the cup? Grinder finer until I hit bitter and then take it back a notch?

>>17382145
Maybe try to grind finer and then try pouring slightly less hot water to avoid over-extraction? Not sure if it will work for this particular cup.

>>17382154
I'll go finer and report back. I don't know if it makes sense but the cup was good not because it was amazing but because it didn't have those negative characteristics. Does that make sense? It was just very neutral

>>17382222
checked.
it makes perfect sense, i had a cup like that yesterday.

>>17379425
omg wtf I love polycarbonate now

>>17382222
It does make sense. There is a time and place for everything, and sometimes I want a really punchy, acidic fermented fruit-tasting filter coffee, and sometimes I just want a pleasant, average cup.

>>17382232
>>17382234
It's not like it was watered down either just very neutral. Do beans like these just not have much flavor? Or are all beans capable of strong flavors but I just have to work harder to extract them?

>>17382268
It depends. There is only so much you can do when the beans are already processed and roasted. Technically by wacky processing methods or manipulating roast levels you can bring out different characteristics of the coffee (or in cases of higher roasts, just make them very strong and bitter).
Might be the beans. I've had some which were very pleasant but just had hints of walnuts and vague caramel/vanilla, about what you'd expect. On the other end of the spectrum, you can get beans which once properly extracted will genuinely taste of tropical notes, naturally integrated into the coffee.

>>17382268
>just very neutral
oh yeh then thats not what i mean, i could taste the full flavor profile, like when you have a really good audio setup and you can close your eyes and point out every instrument. yeh it wasnt amazing but i didnt have sour or bitter messing with my taste resolution and covering up the flavors.

>>17382288
I'm coming from one naturally processed light roast to another and admittedly this is from another roaster but they couldn't be more different. The one I've been dailying is sweet and full of flavor with an almost a strawberry note to it (has been very hard to dial in) but todays was very muted with not much in the way of sweetness and a buttery toffee aftertaste. I'll grind finer and try to pour the first two pours more aggressively. And just a sidenote but coffee is so much fun, I feel so bad for people who're missing out.

Ive accepted Im a dark roast pleb and the fruitier mediums aren't for me

>>17382323
That's fine. Fuck everyone who argues that their taste is superior to others, it's usually just a matter of preference. If dark roasts have more of the qualities you're looking for in coffee then there's nothing wrong with enjoying them.

>>17382323
Darker roasts all taste nearly the same though. There's so much variety in light/medium roasts I have a hard time thinking you wouldn't like any of them.

>>17382337
They have less variation since the roast overtakes more of the other tastes of the coffee bean, but I know people who like the roast-y flavors themselves. I like medium roasts more since I'm looking for that sweetness and fresh flavors, but not everyone necessarily looks specifically for those. If someone tried genuinely good medium roasts and darker roasts and can simply say that they prefer the overall roast-imposed notes, then that's purely a matter of personal preference.

>>17382351
Fruitier mediums =/= mediums, if he prefers the dark roast flavor itself that's one thing but he hasn't tried enough coffee if he thinks all mediums = fruity.

My local roaster has started importing vietnamese beans. Anyone got any experience with coffee beans grown in vietname before?

>>17383930
Don't they mostly drink Robusta?

bros how much do you rinse your paper filters? I damn near empty half my stagg just for rinsing wondering if there's a better way.

>>17384747

enough to stick to the aeropress when turned upside down, so not very much

please dont tell me you believe all that voodoo nonsense about "washing out the paper flavor", its provably not a real thing

>>17384747
I just use a screen and rinse daily, no paper.

>>17384747
I just wet it enough to hit the whole paper. 900ml kettle and I make 600ml batches. I don't use dogshit Hario filters tho. Melodrip guy says you don't need to rinse cafec whites but I haven't tried those yet.

>>17384954

Nice reading comprehension. I use inverted aeropress, I literally HAVE to moisten the filter so that it sticks to the base when flipped upside down.

>>17384954
Buy a pack of chemex filters. Let it sit in hot water for 4 minutes then drink it. If you really can't taste a difference between that and hot water you either need to descale your kettle or scrape the cum off your tongue.

>>17384954
Why did you reply to me after stating I don't use paper?

>>17384747
Just enough to wet it (v60), they're bleached anyway

is there some way to figure out particle size easily? i feel like im getting all my brews wrong because i have absolutely no idea what my grind setting corresponds to. Is the finest setting espresso fine? Just normal fine? What da fuck?

>>17385088
Yep. So are most of the harios so I've been working through some packs of cafecs. I like the mediums and the origamis. Lights choke abit for me but I think thats the kinu's fault. Generates a bit more fines than something less aggressive and slower cutting, but thats why its great for espresso. The point of the light is to trap fines and slow the flow anyway. Medium is apparently the fastest flowing, and the origami is completely different to either of those so it might actually be the cafec whites I linked earlier.

I like some bitterness to a cup. I want dark chocolate notes, but zero burnt flavors. I think most cheap darks are burnt, but the ones that aren't are my favorites.

>>17385984
you're talking about timemore c2?

I've used a stock Baratza Encore for like 8 years now. What can I get as an upgrade if I only drink filter coffee?
I considered just upgrading the burrs but ultimately decided I'd rather just get a new grinder.

Eureka Mignon Filtro would be a huge step up in quality for you, especially if you're only interested in filter coffee since that's what it's meant for primarily.

>>17385975
If he's autistic enough to design, test, engineer and market a piece of plastic you can probably assume he's tested a filter or two.

just got an aeropress for christmas (yes, in february) and i'm wondering if it's worth using for espresso exclusively. I do pourovers for regular coffee, but i have to bring out the machine to do espresso.
Should i keep it on my shelf, or just let it rot in a drawer somewhere?

>>17386863
>aeropress
>espresso
?

>>17386867
that's... what the package says it makes? up to three shots of espresso per pour.

How do you afford good coffee? I like having atleast 2 cups a day. I know that's probably alot for some but I tend to have, by volume, like 32oz or more per day. But buying good coffee all the time is expensive as fuck because all the good stuff by me is minimum $10 for a 12oz bag, and upwards of 18+ for 1lb bags.

I have begun to regularly drink trader joes "Joe" (whole bean of course) coffee because it's only like 4 bucks for the 14oz tin. They also sell good small roast coffee for like 7-9 bucks some times which is nice. But it isn't amazing coffee, you know what I mean? It's good, but not like REALLY good like the real good shit you can buy from local roasters.

>>17386882
LOL

>>17386905
You drink a quart of coffee daily?

>>17384747
buy better paper? i've never had any off tastes from my v60 filters. Shouldn't take much to prewet your filters.

>>17386882
I sort of alternate between good shit and acceptable shit. I'll buy a big bag of Monmouth beans and enjoy that for a month, then just grab whatever whole bean I can get at the supermarket. At the end of the day whatever coffee you're buying is better, and better value for money, than the people with a Starbucks addiction.

>>17386882

>>17387071
I have a 16oz mug that I drink from atleast once per day and a lot of the time 2x a day (or like 1 + 1/3 or 1/2 more). And some days I even have 3. Do you not? Do you even enjoy coffee?

>>17387780
Pfft. Yeah sure.

How seriously does /ctg/ take flavour note descriptions? Would you drink something described as pic related?

>>17387965
yes. if you brew a good cup. not sour or bitter at all and you can just taste the coffee (make sure its as fresh as possible) then you can 100% taste the notes listed. its obviously not going to taste like drinking strawberry and apricot juice in black tea but you can taste the notes. people can taste different notes, like if it says what that picture says one person might taste generic berry and generic fruit and generic tea smells/flavor notes and another person will taste the exact flavors listed.

like the coffee i drink lists juicy berries, apricot, creamy caramel and hazelnut.
and when i make a really good cup i can taste a hint of like mixed berries, i can taste as if i licked the outside of a dried apricot, i can taste caramel if i had small bits still stuck in my teeth from eating it earlier in the day, i can taste a variety of nuts in the back of my throat after i swallow.

>>17387993
Many people seem not to understand the concept of a flavor note in my experience

>>17387993
you're a retard. you can only taste that becaude you are looking for it. the flavor notes are 90% bs for people like you. it's not like liquor where they add different flavor, it's just roasted with no other influences. it gives you am idea of the profile but has nothing to do with strawberries or whatever

>>17388438
>your reality and lived experiences are wrong because they just are ok
ok champ. you can go in blind and still taste exact notes and point out what they are, not everyone is a tastelet soulless fag like you. sometimes i forgot that people like you exist, i think "no one is that retarded" and then some empty brain fuck like you turns up spouting slimy hot shit from your mouth.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11283304/

After the caffeine is done inhibiting the adenosine receoptors all the adenosine that's kept in the extracellular space is going to activate adenosine receptors, thus make you feel even more asleep.

>>17385365
Yes, sometimes i do make a huge mason jar of it with coconut + condensed, spices and a cube or two of demerara. And sometimes i make a cup of straight black one. Also made it with masala tea spice mix with and without milk and chili powder + salt + coconut milk. Kinda wish a more lighter roast of robusta was available here, want to try it out.

>>17386216
Looks very cool and chill but as a horeca worker/manager i wonder how they make their money because that hall footage alone should cost a lot in rent. I'd assume their prices are above average for beverages and their food items are overpriced to hell and back

>>17386905
I buy 2-4 250g packs of different beans from a local roaster or two at a time. Sometimes i order, say, 2 specialty + 2 average stuff like Huehuetenango. Drinking via v60, french press and phin. Sometimes 2-3 cups, but some days i simply don't want any coffee. Those 750-1000g of coffee can last me from 2 weeks to a month. Occasionally, i can grab a cuppa in the city. I just enjoy the process of preparing something not-espresso based at home.

>>17377115
A long while back I went to a local 3rd wave coffee bar. You can pick their house blend or whatever single origin they are currently offering. I picked one that was more different: notes of fig, molasses, and tobacco; had it as a pour-over. I think the guy messed up the pour-over but it still tasted good. How do I find more coffees with this profile? It wasn't overly burnt or smokey. More a spider rich wood but baked buy darker fruity fig flavors and dark sugar sweetness.
>>17388712
>light roasted robusta
You won't want that. Every robusta blend coffee I've had that's more a "medium" was harsh and not appetizing. They only one I liked was this Italian Lavazza high roasted coffee in the orange brick. Granted high grade robusta might be different, but I still have my doubts.

>>17386863
If you don't have a moka pot, yeah, it's a pretty ok espresso like strong cup. No crema really, though you can get a metal filter and you'll end up with something to drink that scratches some of the same itches. Aeropress shots are great for making lattes and stuff though. Unless I had spent thousands for a real at-home setup (which I don't get the impression you did), aeropress is a clena and easy way to make a good cup.

>>17389435
>And then I told him, it's just like real espresso LOL

aldi whole bean

aerosoys aside, is a moka pot or an aeropress better for making cappuccinos/lattes at home? and how would you foam the milk

>>17387993
any coffee with strawberry and apricot in the notes is going to be quite acidic regardless of how it's brewed.
also i've measured my personal taste sensitivities and i'm much more sensitive to sour than sweet or bitter. i am not compatible with very light roasts. once they get heavy into the fruit notes on the package, i can only rate them 3/5 at best.

I usually drink coffee from a moka pot because I think drip tastes like sour ass and I like the thicker and richer profile of espresso

is it worth it, can I just use regular store bought epresso bricks? I am not picky about coffee besides not liking drip. I have a lot of turkish friends and quite enjoyed it

Levergods it's our time...

>>17387965
So I actually grabbed a bag of this since the roaster is local. I can definitely taste a stark difference compared to my previous coffee beans described as "milk chocolate, raisin, floral".
Whether I can taste the notes of strawberry and apricot, I'm not so sure. Might have to adjust my brew method a little to tease out the taste and feel.

>>17391679
How are you brewing it? Not this one but there’s an Ethiopian bean I get at my local shop that I miss the apricot notes when I use a pour over but in my French press or aeropress (the latter using a metal filter) there are definite and fantastic apricot and cocoa notes. I think some of the oils and solids the flavor depends on are lost with a paper filter. It’s too expensive for everyday but I’ve gone through two pounds since early January.

>>17391721
I'm also using an aeropress with a metal filter. Next time, I'm going to scale down my usual brew to a single cup rather than my typical two cup dose and then adding water after pressing.
I'm drinking it right now and I've started tasting some of the "fermented"-ness of the natural beans that's supposedly a third of the bean blend.

>>17391753
Correction, it's 50/50 washed/natural

>>17391753
That might help. Or French press if you have one. I keep a small bodum just for small batches of really really great beans. When I get a yesplz delivery my little French press is my first few cups, just following a really standard process, then I can play with how I brew it depending on how it tastes. Non diluted aeropress will probably hit about the same. Do you use inverted method?

>>17391779
Yeah, I use the inverted method. Every time I give the standard orientation a try again, too much water for my liking drops through before I can get some suction pressure into the tube.

so, after drinking some coffee some days ago i felt nauseous for totally unrelated reasons and threw up.
now whenever i smell that specific coffee my brain automatically connects it to the nausea i felt. how do i stop him from doing this?

>>17391918
What was the coffee? And when you felt sick, was it sudden or were you feeling sick for a while? Was it possibly overcaffeination?

used to live walking distance from this roaster (Queens NY), now live in North Jersey wasteland and will probably have to start getting shit shipped. unless anyone knows something good in my region?

am i to believe that a "cup" of coffee is 5oz? wtf chemex?

>>17392154
...yes?

>>17392154
Yeah, shop for any coffee making appliance that's pretty standard. Amazon reviews for Chemex or Bodum etc are always filled with bitching about this from clueless morons who just wanted a Mr Coffee ("8 cups? As if! Maybe if I'm a dwarf, but I gotta get through this tub of folgers...")

Huh, ok, fair enough. I guess it makes sense when I think about a typical coffee mug size. I drink exclusively iced coffee and cold brew (black) and like to just have a ton of it on hand because I drink 20-30 ounces a day. Guess I'll go for the "10-cup" size.

>>17392231
a cup is not a mug

>>17392239
so what is a cup of coffee. six ounces?

>>17392270
5oz just like chemex said
a mug is like two cups

>>17392280
damn, i guess i drink way more coffee than i thought, in terms of cups. reading different studies and such i was assuming they all calculated a cup as 8oz. FYI: https://www.nutritionletter.tufts.edu/ask-experts/q-when-studies-refer-to-cups-of-coffee-or-tea-do-they-mean-eight-ounce-cups-or-the-more-typical-amount-found-in-a-standard-mug-of-coffee-or-tea/

Isn't "a cup" supposed to be 8 fl oz/237ml? The baker in me is annoyed if that isn't the case.
Did the coffee industry redefine what "a cup" meant to upsell people?

>>17392316
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasse_%C3%A0_caf%C3%A9

>>17392324
I will begrudgingly accept this definition

>>17392316
i'm with you. it's annoying because now all the studies about the optimal amount of coffee and at what point (in terms of cups) it starts to become more harmful than helpful are impossible to interpret because they do not usually define a "cup"

>>17392338
If it makes you feel any better the standard diner mug is "10oz." Which is what I use, and I typically use 250g of water when I make a pourover but recently I have been doing 275 or 280 just to fill the cup up to right below the brim. I think most people who make pourover do at least 250 mL if not more if you're using a chemex or brewing for multiple people. American mugs are just massive.

anyone tried guatemalan filter coffee? im about to buy some more coffee and i dont know what to get(i can get my usual but i want to try something else.)

>>17393537
ok i just got a bag of guatemalan and a bag of ethiopian( i got ethiopian/brazil blend last time, this is a single origin from a different source.).

>>17393640
That was a harrowing 18 minutes.

filtered my french presses over the weekend as an experiment. i didn't realize just how many fines pass through and how those affect the flavoring. a little weaker maybe, a little less bitter, but a better drinking experience i think. took an extra 2 minutes to make though because with it all being fines left over from the press they pile up in the filter.
does this just mean i need a better french press? i think mine's some cheap bialetti

how do you all store whole beans? i have a container for countertop/staging but need something to keep them safe in the pantry. i'm looking to maximize volume

>>17393762
i agree.

>>17393877
you can vacuum seal them if you dont care about the waste. or you can put them in a container which tries to remove as much air as possible.

>>17393877
I use one of those airscape canisters

>>17393877
>>17394019
I have an airscape for most frequently used beans but vacuum seal and freeze the rest

huh? did they fix them? in fact my cup is a bit underextracted now.

Thoughts on the 9barista?
I'm looking to buy a manual brewer, and I'm only willing to spend 300 bucks on this thing due to the fact that it actually makes espresso, it's made in the UK (SOVL), and it's cool as fuck. But I don't actually know if it's worth it.
Otherwise I'd just get a moka or an Airpress for around 30 bucks.

>>17394587
one of the most important things in espresso making is controlling your beverage weight precisely. Good luck doing that with this glorified moka.

>>17377115
Made some cold brew. Going to let it sit for 24 hours in the fridge. Should I come back later and stir it so all the grounds fall instead of just floating the whole time.

have some beans and no grinder and cant find a manual grinder
refuse to use the blender of buy an electric

what to do with the beans? I know you can eat them but ot might be a bit much without chocolate

>>17394883
Honestly take it to a grocery store that has coffee grinder machines. Used to do that a lot and honestly works well enough.

>>17392136
I live a 20 minute walk from this gem. Love Kinship too.

are french presses OK to use

>>17394983
Yes, and they are the least fussy. You don't need to spend a lot of money on one either.

>>17394825
Doesn’t matter, stirring won’t do anything in a 24hr extraction really. Do it if you feel like stirring something

>>17394920
you overestimate local resources

>>17386066
Doubt it. Timemore is more expensive. Maybe it was a Hario.

>>17395021
Are you in the USA?

>>17394920
You know there are pockets of the US that some may describe as "bum fuck nowhere", and getting to a store with a grinder may involve a drive a couple of cities over.

>>17395125
Meant to reply to >>17395033

>>17395125
And in those bumfuck nowhere areas Walmart has eradicated your local economy. Turns out they like to put sam's clubs near pockets of walmarts to make shit easily logistically. Sams club has commercial Bunn grinders.

>>17394883
What the fuck do you mean can't find a manual grinder? You're on the internet literally right now.

>>17391721
Your pour over is just a worse extraction.

>>17394677
Its got a fixed output pal. 120ml of water can only push about 40ml through the 15-20g puck.

>>17394951
Nice, I was Steinway/Ditmars area before I moved. The iced drip at Mighty Oak was awesome but so expensive. I was a big fan of Kinship cold brew as well.

>>17395329
I just dont feel like buying a grinder, paying for shipping, paying for taxes and waiting 2 weeks for l bag of beans

I drink a lot of coffee and was thinking of getting a 10-cup Chemex, but it seems like there are very few if any gooseneck electric kettles in the 1.5L range, so what's the point? Does a good electric kettle heat water fast enough that I could empty it into the pourover, refill the kettle, reheat it, and finish the pourover without fucking up the brew?

>>17395401
~6minutes to boil at the full .9L Why the fuck do you want a 10 cup chemex?

>>17395442
Thanks. I just drink a lot of coffee, some days upwards of 40oz just myself. I picked up coffee to replace soda as my mid-afternoon treat/pick-me-up at work and discovered i really enjoy it. I only drink it black and iced (or cold brew).

>>17395463
Chemex is about the worst pourover implement you can get. Do you just like the carafe? Toss any other pourover cone on a 40oz yeti or rtic(or literally anything else) and you'll be way happier.

>>17395467
Ok. I don't really care about the carafe. Curious why you think it sucks though? Is it just the value/bang-for-buck factor or does it produce shittier coffee than other pourovers?

>>17395500
They've got about the thickest, bleached paper tasting filters you can buy and noone makes an alternative. You have to rinse the absolute fuck out of them to get rid of the taste which fucks your kettle situation already. Thick filters will absolutely affect the taste/body due to keeping more oils from the cup, which you may or may not like. Also the filters will suck down into the spout and choke itself off if you don't have like a barspoon or chopstick handy. Just get a size 3 v60 and toss it on a big mug.

>>17395524
Thanks anon

Need recommendations for a new carafe, shattered mine like a retard

>>17395542
I used a yeti, then a hario cold brew carafe, then a kruve evoke. Hario was the cheapest and pours the best. Yeti is a yeti, great for heat retention, bad for pouring. I stopped using my smaller yeti for tea since it would keep it too hot to drink for several hours. Kruve looks nice, but is $50+ of chinese boro. $20 for a carafe and cold brew filter is pretty hard to beat.

Why do grains sometimes sink and sometimes not when I make my cold brew? I try to aim for pretty much the same coarse ground every time, but sometimes I find it all sunk after 16+ hours while other times it stays on top. What's up?

Also, does it matter?

>>17395807
As far as I can tell the coffee comes out darker and more bitter if the grounds sink, but I'm not 100% of it, just seems like it. I'd have to compare them side by side to be sure.

>>17395807

>>17395829
What?

>>17395807
my cold brew has pieces of the bean float and most of it sink
do you agitate every 12 hours or so?

>>17395876
>do you agitate every 12 hours or so?
No I don't, should I? I've heard conflicting opinions(like with fucking anything...), some say stir regularly, some say don't stir at all, some say stir only at the beginning. I'm learning towards the stir at the beginning side, but not sure.

I do stir sometimes and it usually causes most to sink. One of these days I need to get a second french press and just make two batches at the same time to compare.

>>17395833
Are you using a mortar and pestle? Why so many fines?

>>17395927
I'm using a Delonghi KG49 grinder. It works well for a find grind but when I try to do a coarse grind some of it always comes out fine.

What do you recommend for a coarse grind for cold brew?

>>17395935
>Stainless steel grinding blade
You know the answer to this.

>>17395890
i agitate every 8-12 hours, and make about 2 gallons a week. i can't think of a great reason why agitation would be harmful to anything. it just gets better surface contact between dilute water and the grounds.

>>17395972
Not really.

>>17395978
Fair point. How long do you usually go? I tend to make mine in the evening to 16 hours is the average for me.

>>17395989
I shouldn't be able to tell how shitty of a grinder you have off a single picture of cold brew. Buy a burr grinder.
https://youtu.be/bgjvLQu5NlE

>>17396026
Thanks for the link, but GOD does this guy drone on. Fuck.

>>17395989
48 or 72 hours

>>17396089
Damn. That's a long time. You said 2 gallons a week, what do you use to make it, and do you strain through a filter? I just depend on the french press filter and then let the rest settle on the bottom of the bottle in the fridge.

>>17396097
i siphon first and let that go unfiltered. i then strain the dregs and pour the pressed liquid onto a filter
i eyeball the grounds, usually about 2.5 cups per gallon of water. 48 hours for caff, 72 for decaf since idk about you nerds but i don't think anyone near me sells decaf whole beans so i am stuck with trash grounds.

Got a Baratza Encore after having a blade grinder.
Its nice. I have a boss that put me into decent coffee, light roast and taking care to brew. I am not a huge coffee snob but its a deffinate improvement over a blade spice/coffee grinder. And now, I have my spice grinder back so that's nice.

tldr; got a burr grinder. Its nice and thats all.

>>17396129
>Baratza Encore
Nice, looks good and seems affordable compared to all the other garbage. How's the coarse grind?

>>17396120
Ohhh, you siphon it, that's clever. Thanks for explaining.

>>17396146
>seems affordable compared to all the other garbage
what does this mean

>>17396146
Its good. But everything seems good compared to me blade grinding it. I hear it is not a great performer in the fine grind end of the spectrum but I brew french press so its no concern to me. Corse grind seems to be good, very consistent, its comfy.

But I am also new to properly grinding coffee so everything seems great

>>17396273
It's not even mine, it's my sister's. I don't own a grinder.

>>17396060
Tldr that blade grinder is randomly popping beans around and theres no consistency to it whatsoever. If theres no consistency to particle size, you're not going to evenly extract the coffee. Small particles will be bitter and overextracted, large particles will be sour and underextracted.
>>17396240
Cool, now it doesn't choke itself as much but you're still left with an extremely slow drawdown due to the oversized filters and a coffee slurry thats rapidly losing temp. Its a shitty brewer. But it was on friends so aging middle class whites love it.

Do I have to adjust my grind when going from one cup to two? I have a size 2 v60. 17.5g:250ml in less than 4 mins, perfectly balanced cup. 35g:500ml in less than 5 mins and the cup sucks. Is the cup shitty because of the extra agitation?

>>17396300
>Tldr that blade grinder is randomly popping beans around and theres no consistency to it whatsoever. If theres no consistency to particle size, you're not going to evenly extract the coffee. Small particles will be bitter and overextracted, large particles will be sour and underextracted.

trying to pour a good v60 cup when using a non-gooseneck kettle is suicide tier, should i just shell out the money for a stagg or is there any real difference between that and a 40 dollar kettle

>>17396355
If you can easily afford the stagg, get it since it's the one you want anyways. If not, a regular gooseneck is 90% the way there.

>>17396386
its less of whether I can afford it or not and more when my bitch girlfriend decides to sperg out and bring up that I spent 150 on a kettle

>>17396409
That kettle is going to be around longer than her senpai.

Can I get some beans recommended to me? I like coffee that's chocolatey and not very sour/acidic. I usually brew with a moka pot or v60 if that matters

>>17396429
ah fuck it you're right, she told me recently that she doesn't want kids outright despite her being open to it when we first met.

Did you get yours with the base or without?

Just start hitting her?

>>17396450
im not american so i can't give you local bean recommendations sorry. but i had a colombian dark roast that tasted like 100% dark chocolate, but i can't seem to find any mention of it online anymore, i only bought it a month ago and every page that used to sell it just gives a 404. im not fan of dark roasts so i can't give you much advice on that. i had an ethiopian/brazil blend that tasted a bit like toffee. sorry thats the best information i have for you.

That's exactly the website. I looked at other us ones, but they cost more and didn't have the filter selection. I'm better off paying the higher shipping and getting what I need all at one place.

Chemex is aesthetic. I haven't gotten a vibe from other pour overs. I'm in the same gear situation. I can't get a good cup out of the moka pot. I use a milk frother I found at goodwill as a press. As long as the beans and grind aren't trash it's perfectly good.
