The M*lodrip sucks

>>17398757
I use my Melodrip every day with my Aeropress and my Bonavito Gooseneck Kettle. Stay mad, the Melodrip guy is literally Jesus and he's the best thing to happen to coffee. Also he's my boyfriend and he fucks me in the ass, I'm a tranny btw.

Look at the seethe from bladegrinderlets.

>>17398771
Yeah the Melodrip guy says the Breville Smart Grinder Pro is the best consumer grinder available so I bought three of them. He published the science on it himself so I know it's legit. Have you found any alternate uses for the Melodip? My boyfriend (the Melodrip guy) has been Melodripping his piss onto my face for optimal piss distribution and it's working great so far, his Drip makes me so Melo!

I made exactly half (7) of the posts that you replied to there, not telling you which ones though

>>17399046
I was thinking about quitting anyways because it is too expensive. I bought like $80 worth of liquor and $20 of ingredients and it only made enough cocktails to last 1 month. Compare to spending $40-50 on two bags of nice coffee which last me close to a month and a half.

Those stationary shower screens are just like technivorm upgraded screens or whatever. I think its a functional but shitty design. Probably bump up your consistency a bit. Hario has an official one now too. The newer high end auto drippers like the gevi have a line of nozzles that rotates which is a little bit better. I think the ratio 8 has different areas it pulses. Melodrip just gives you finer control of an existing variable. Inherently less consistent than the stationary screens but way more potential. I can grind finer because I'm not churning the fuck out of my bed the entire time I'm brewing. Since I'm not churning the bed the fines get to settle and not continually agitate. Pretty intuitive imo.

>>17399952
Took a quick sip. Tastes pretty good. Definitely tamed the acidity of those shit columbian Costco beans. Has a sorta fruity taste, then the roast flavor comes in, and has an almost caramel like finish. I can see why its sold as a cold brew. I got around 10 more batches out of that 3 pound bag. Gonna try steeping it with caradamon, then add sugar water with vanilla extract and rose water after I filter it. Also the infamous coldbrew recipe, but replace the star anise with cardamon.

Steel is a pain to clean, easy to push out into the compost, and lengthens the press time, and changes the brew. Paper is dead simple, cheap as fuck, and works well without messing with the flavor.

When I want a paperless brew, I use a French press.

I would love to have sex with her (I'm an incel) but her personality is completely insufferable and I think that is what stops me from jerking off to her. Also she doesn't actually seem to know very much about coffee.

After years of wanking around with pour over I've reverted to using a French press. I unironically enjoy it more unless I've got like a real top tier light roasted Ethiopia Sidamo or something. I'm on a bit of an Indonesian kick at the moment, specialty java is pretty based.

>>17400968
I always liked the French press I just make fun of it here because I associate it with poor/stupid people that think pourover is too complicated. I switched to the V60 because cleaning a press is a pain in the ass that takes me 5-10 minutes to do properly while paper filters just get sneeded in the bin and then the cone rinsed and it's done.

>>17400968
I actually French press all the time over the last year because I work form home and it must just hit the right part of my brain or something. Guess my hdl cholesterol might get fucked but I’ll be happy.

>>17400984
Yeah, cleanup isn’t as easy as pour over but worth it. I keep a spatula just for cleaning my press put. And all I do most days is rinse and dry.

It's also pretty based to sneed your immersion brewed coffee (ie French press) through a paper filter afterwards to fuck off the particulates

I don't know anything about this roaster but based on these images I would not order their coffee

They do more than dark roast. They do a lot of different types. The other one I want is a cubano blend that has high grade robusta.
>>17401225
>>17401246
Is that a weird roast level for this coffee region?

>high grade robusta
Yeah this guy is trolling

>>17401259
From what I can tell at a glance it just seems like it would be cheap and low quality. Meme cupping notes, 'Xtra dark roast', meme graphic design etc. Maybe I'm way off though, have you ever ordered from them?

>>17401268
I'm not. Other anons in the past have posted high quality robusta blends. Obviously its not going to be like a $45 bag of geisha, but it does how it's own flavor.
https://www.orlandocoffeeroasters.com/coffee/amandas-espresso-blend

>>17401268
Yeah specialty grade robusta is definitely a thing
I wouldn't really use it for much except cold brew or Italian style blends though

>>17401295
Have you tried Lineage or Axum?

>>17401295
>Cuban-inspired
>espresso blend
>"specialty grade"
>roasted Medium/Dark
>strong and robust flavor
Yeah a bunch of meaningless buzzwords and not even a hint and the origins of any of the "specialty grade" coffee used really proves how incredibly high quality this is

>>17401295
>>17401340
The worst part is it's not even that cheap for what's undoubtedly shitty coffee. A 250g single origin subscription with Lineage is only 4 dollars more a bag.

>>17401351
Dude it's specialty grade. High quality robusta is definitely a real thing and not some shit I just made up. It's specialty grade, says it right there on the bag. That means it's good. It's specialty grade.

>>17401363
>medium dark roast
He doesn't know.

>>17401293
They do more than dark. Majority is medium and a handful of light. They do supply to a good handful of local vendors; Vespr in particular. They seem like an in between of 2nd and 3rd wave.
Here's your $40 bag of geisha btw.
>>17401300
Close. It's a Cuban coffee blend. Want to make it in my moks pot.
>>17401313
I have not heard of Axum, but I have leinage. Lineage is more pricey(for obvious reasons) and I've had a hankering for some good dark roast, which is hard to find. The one by lineage that sounds good is their Dammu. I dont have a pour over set up and would have to make it in a french press; I know it won't taste good in my moka pot. I'm not terribly far from them, so I was going to just splurge and get a pour-over once in a while from them.

Imagine getting triggered by a roast

Yea i dunno how it works in America but here in Australia 'specialty coffee' means the green beans were appraised by qualified q graders and awarded a score above 80
If they're roasting it any more than medium for espresso or light for filter it definitely sucks though
>t. Worked in several specialty roasteries

>>17401385
And you're forgetting 8oz is 226g, which is besides the point. A $14 bag of dogshit offers less value than a $20 bag of good coffee.

>>17401580
Alright then, what'd you recommend around $500 - $700 then?

>>17401566
Most "efficient" upgrade would be to mod the encore so you've got a conical to fuck with and pick up a df64 so you've got a nice 64mm flat burr carrier to play with as well. A clear (conica)l step up from the encore and you're probably looking at a niche.

>>17404612
The real answer isn't much less retarded, it's literally them saying that children having to obey adults is oppression of the same level as indigenous people being genocided by colonists. So basically they had a shitty childhood and adapted that into their stupid fucking oppressors vs oppressed worldview that they must apply to every single situation. The issue isn't that their dad beat them, it's that adults are allowed to be in charge of actual fucking children whose brains aren't even developed yet.

>>17404643

>>17404643
>it's literally them saying that children having to obey adults is oppression of the same level as indigenous people being genocided by colonists.
In the context of a coffee shop is this not just referring to child labor in the supply chain? I'm a few years out of date with my pc codeswitching.
>Indigenous people farming cashcrops for colonists(like the french involvement in egyptian cotton following the US civil war and resultant cotton trade decline)
>dirty guatamalan kids being exploited for their labor for the white masses of oakland

What did I think of this pourover?

>>17404740
If they were referring to child labor then they would have said that. Most likely they buy their shit from the cheapest source and have no idea whether child labor was involved or not. All of the meme phrases they attach to it are posturing/virtue signaling. Adult supremacy is a specific term that you see pop up frequently and is associated with terms like white supremacy and patriarchy

>>17404756
>for the white masses of oakland
> All of the meme phrases they attach to it are posturing/virtue signaling.
Its only virtue signalling if you're actually buying in and have those virtues ingrained in you. Basic marketing. Let those gay girls make a few bucks before rising commercial real estate fucks them. Starbucks claimed they were pumping 100m into small BIPOC businesses last January. All you can find on it is press from that week so I assume they're fucking lying their asses off. If gaymergirl coffee is shit then don't buy it. If its good then buy it and don't recommend it to keep it for yourself.

The grind just looks chunky to me lol, the bed is very flat at the end though which is a great sign. What coffee did ya use? Howd it taste?

Actual genuine Aeropress user. Would it be wise to upgrade the burrs in my C2 to those E&B burrs?

>>17404745
how are there so many fines, it was probably shit

>>17405640
Ok

>>17405502
Origami bro here. I try to get the "folds" in the picture so people don't have to ask lol.

>>17405598
Idk bro, I get the coffee shop to grind my beans weekly

>>17405598
Slightly different cut to the burrs but the biggest "feature" is the prebreaking teeth. You see alot of prebreakers on higher end grinders. If you need validation for a sub$50 purchase, you should probably save your money.

>>17405571
>What coffee did ya use?
Coffee
>Howd it taste?
Fine

Is there a specific reason why most roasters don't sell bags smaller than 300 or 250g? I'd love to be able to buy 75 grams and taste something, even at a higher unit price.

>>17406319
idk

>>17406319
Standart sends out a ~35g sample with every issue.

>>17406390
Do you have a subscription?

>>17406319
The place that I buy from gives out 60g samples of their new acquisitions when you place an order on certain dates but they don't sell them individually

>>17406584
Yeah for the last year. Got coffees from Sey(NYC) The Barn(Berlin), and Cloudpicker(Ireland).

I just got a Gaggia Classic Pro and a Chemex.

Can anyone recommend me any cold drink recipes? It's incredibly hot where I live.

You can use each paper filter at least 4 times before it disintegrates too much. Definitely a no brainer.

t. dude that cold brew aeropresses maxwell house

soulless coffee gang rise up

What's the best pourover brewer for making large volumes of coffee (40oz minimum) in one go? I like the light/fruity/floral taste over bold/rich/deep if that makes a difference.

>>17408150
chemex?

How much caffeine is in a tablespoon of ground coffee? I put around twelve into a mug and some days I drink two. There's a very fine line between getting wired and getting nausea and headaches.

>>17408317
you forgot jacked to the tits.

>>17408150
I'm inclined to agree with >>17408166 and say chemex just because as far as I know it's the largest of the cone style pourover brewers available but with chemex already being slow as shit that sounds awful to me. What is your reason for needing to brew that much in one go? Could you not just brew twice back to back with a standard v60 or something?

>>17405640
Nothing about that photo says too many fines. It's the opposite - the grind is about 2x as coarse as it should be. And for some reason, there are whole unground pieces of chaff in there.

What about this

>>17408336
I drink anywhere from 20-40oz in a day. I guess I could do that with the V60 but I am partial to a lighter, more fruity taste which is why I was leaning toward Chemex - I suppose I could also just a Chemex filter in a V60? But then I run into the same problem with slow drawdown. I was the anon in the last thread asking similar sorts of questions and I guess I just wanted to see if anyone had any opinions other than the one or two people who responded to me in that thread. I think I just need to make a fucking decision already and if it isn't for me after a couple months I'll switch it up.

>>17408544

>I am partial to a lighter, more fruity taste which is why I was leaning toward Chemex
What the fuck are you talking about

Still can’t decide if I want to buy an espresso machine. What the fuck do I do sirs?

>>17408554
come up with a reasonable budget
double it
multiply that by 150%
find a machine and grinder that fit into the parameters of this number, while acknowledging that you will end up spending more than that

>>17408553
I understood the filters are thicker and kept more oils out of the coffee leading to a cleaner/brighter brew

>>17408554
credit card enrollment bonus
if you're not a poorfag and can spend 4k in 3 months, the chase sapphire enrollment bonus will pay for a nice grinder/good machine
do this twice and you have a good setup
wa la

>>17408544
If you prefer the chemex brew then use that, though what you're describing just sounds like you prefer lighter roasts with fruit notes. Either way I'd just recommend brewing twice so you get it fresh over trying to brew a fuckton at once and drink that throughout the day.

>>17408554
Buy a flair then cram it up your ass

>>17408317
>tablespoon

>>17408625
Its not only the filter thickness.
>Chemex unbleached: 167 ± 23 μm
>Chemex bleached: 210 ± 22 μm
>Hario unbleached: 203 ± 21 μm
>Hario tabbed: 206 ± 21 μm
Its the weight too. Hario filters weight 1.4g. Chemexs are close to 5.5g. There's just 4x more material to thoroughly rinse and wick up oils. You were already stuck on the small kettle problem, you don't need to be using .5L to rinse paper each time you brew.
>>17408554
Flair+handgrinder can be had for sub500.

>>17408643
>>17408659
Thanks, helpful posts. Stupid question but if I'm going to chill the coffee in the fridge anyway, do I still need to rinse the filter with hot water? Some people say it's more efficient, but others seem to think there isn't a discernable difference in the end product and the only real benefit is temperature retention (which isn't a concern for me).

>>17408683
Depends on your taste buds. Rip up a filter, let it sit in hot water for 5 minutes, then drink it. If you don't like the taste, rinse your filters.

>>17408683
>I'm going to chill the coffee in the fridge anyway

Is the gaggia classic fine or is it too small for two people. Looking to pair it with either a baratza sette or a niche for easy cleanup

>>17408809
Easy to mod but shit temp stability even with a pid due to the boiler size. Ymmv. Are you actually researching shit or just randomly throwing out products you've seen people use?

>>17408816
Tbh I’m completely lost regarding what machine to get. I like the idea of the quick heat up time for the gaggia and its small footprint. but I’ve also read that the steam wand is weak and needs temperature surfing etc. I was looking at the lelit Glenda which has a 58mm group head and a PID but I haven’t seen enough reviews about it to commit. Any recommendations would be appreciated

>>17408834
How much are you willing to spend. I started with the ~500 flair setup a few years ago and I'm north of $3k and nearly "done".

Just accidentally let my americano go cold. God damn the last few dregs were good though.

While coffee is delicious its important to acknowledge that your inability to go even a single day without coffee shows a lack of control over your own life and a crippling chemical dependency.

>>17409583
You've got the budget for some solid shit then. Glenda + a df64 with SSP HU burrs is what I would go for ~ that budget. New basket or two, $20 etsy wdt then ball out with as nice of a bottomless pf, tamper and other toys as you want and you're set for years. Everything I've got from pullman is S tier.

>>17408302
Just rinse the paper filter while it's in the retainer to clarify it.

retarded cold brew recipe
>invert aeropress and pull out the plunger mostly all the way
>take retainer off. If you're reusing a filter rinse it off. if you're using a new filter rinse it off anyways to make the filter stick
>1 scoop supermarket grinds
>fill to the top with room temp water
>screw filter back on
>stick whole thing in the fridge until everything is cold. preferably hours to get the most foam extracted but it tastes fine with only 30 minutes too.
this is a retarded use for the aeropress since you could've done this with mason jars but it does make good cold brew

>>17409734
oh yeah forgot a step
>cut with more cold water to get an american volume of coffee

>>17409734
optional last steps
1. cut the shot with cold water if you need an americano volume of coffee
2. the grinds still have some kick left in them after a cold brew. Pull the plunger out and rebrew the grinds with hot water the normal aerropress method. shit will be really watery but it does have some stuff in it.

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.

>meltdown
chill out cuz, was only a shitpost.

>>17409734
yeah, for the amount of coffee the aeropress makes I think you're right it's not the way to go. thanks for the writeup though.

>>17408425
Why do you post these? Do you think a flat bed means anything? You can pour like an idiot, get channeling out the dickhole, and then swirl at the end and it will be flat for all of 20% of the brew time. Who cares. You also are clearly an overswirler. That's why your grind looks ridiculously coarse, and there is so much chaff on top. By swirling so much you force the fines down and outward while more buoyant, larger particles rise to the top. Likely your coffee tastes unevenly extracted, astringent, and sour.

I've just been getting into coffee this past month and looking forward to making coffee is what helps me get out of bed. Is this an early sign of caffeine addiction? If so, how would I course correct?

>>17410444
if it’s something you’re excited about i don’t think it’s bad that it gets you out of bed. i think when you’d be miserable without it is the cutoff. i try to keep it to 100mg of caffeine or about 1 cup a day to avoid caffeine dependence

>>17410444
>caffeine addiction? If so, how would I course correct?
depends on how much caffeine really affects you. also do you look forward to drinking coffee or to making coffee? one is a hobby the other is probably just an addiction. but addiction ≠ bad

>>17409787
>some stuff in it.
Sounds promising. Why the fuck not? I've drunk chock from a secondhand Mr Coffee, can't be worse.

>>17410483
it's tricky because I feel like I can go without it and yet its one of the highlights of my day and I haven't gone without a cup a day in a few weeks
>>17410492
>do you look forward to drinking coffee or to making coffee?
both lol but mostly the actual making of the pour over. i'm looking to get some good decaf beans so I can have more than a cup a day, whenever I'd like. and I agree caffeine isn't the worst substance to be addicted to but I've already gone straight edge for a few years so I've been questioning if I'm just replacing past vices with a lesser evil and paying a pretty penny for the privilege of it all

Anyone tried any red catuai?

>>17398829
>Jannies. Now.

>>17410586
if you're only doing a cup a day it shouldn't be too hard to get off if should you see fit. I avoid dependence on anything just like you, I'm pretty straight edge and avoided caffeine for years and years. coffee is a reasonable dependence since it's so ubiquitous, cheap, and with low side effects. it can be done responsibly, like never having it past noon etc. if you suspect caffeine causes you any problems in the future, going from 1 cup to 0 is easier than 4 cups to 0. it's certainly not the hardest thing to quit in any case

>>17407070
Try for a Japanese iced coffee. Reduce the water as you're brewing directly on the ice.

Look for chemex specifically I used a recipe for Aeropress and V60

if you had no option but to get beans (ground or whole) from a supermarket what's your go-to?

>>17405846
Well since you gave me a more detailed explanation I will actually consider it.
