>makes a better pourover than you ever will
nothin personnel

today's latte

Just made a v60. Not really looking for feedback.

how many beans does a ctg use? I go through about 250g a week, not counting an occasional cup at work. just curious

Anyone add minerals to their water for brewing coffee? I’ve been starting to experiment adding some potassium bicarbonate and magnesium sulfate to get yummy potassium and magnesium into my water. It seems to have really good results, even with the tiny amounts I add per litre:
>40mg KHCO3
>220mg MgSO4
I even tried a cheap ”instant” pourover from the store today and it was surprisingly drinkable, while the bacth with filtered water I made after to compare tasted ashy and bitter, utter shit.

I didn't properly wash out my mug... and now this whole cup tastes like soap

>>17675173
have you tried a melodrip?

So what controls how oily a cup of coffee is? I have used the same exact bag of coffee in two drip coffee machines, and one came out just meh, while the other one was oily in a good way, like someone added butter to it.
>inb4 there was hidden butter in the coffee machine
For a while it was my headcanon that it was the seal, since the worse machine has a warped lid, but I don't know what the mechanism behind that could be or if that was really it.

Wait the Orbit is Made in China?

>tastes just as good as caffeinated coffee

>>17677436
That's a good point. It also started tasting awful when I tried using a reusable filter.
Is there a recommended filter type?

>>17677461

Whats a good starter moka pot kit? any recommendations?

im gonna try to lay off coffee and do a teeth whitener kit

wait a minute... so you're telling me... Melodrip is cheap plastic made in China?

>>17678021
surely not. surely it's not just cheap chinese plastic garbage, right?

but I thought sprometheus was /ourguy/ for shitting on the key?

>>17677951
9 cup bialetti moka pot.
there is no "kit" its just the pot and then watch these videos.

>https://youtu.be/u-PeYeiqPLU?t=50
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-C7azYybhE

this is pretty much everything you will ever need to know about the moka pot and how to use it.
if grinding its close to espresso but slightly coarser. start at espresso size.
if buying grounds buy "stovetop filter".

80-90% of the total possible brew is good, you need to know when you have hit that % so you can take it off the heat and run the base under cold water/submerging the base in a container of cold water.
that last 10 or so % is bad coffee and you dont want it so dont think you are wasting coffee by not brewing 100% of possible water. its better to have less coffee that is good than more coffee that isn't as good.
if you dont believe me brew the way that is shown/how i described and then brew until all the water has been used at it is spurting and flowing uncontrollably taste each cup side by side and you will instantly know which is better.

I just wanna enjoy a nice cuppa

Alright, I want to start making my own coffee. What's the first step?

>>17678492
leave this place, this is a thread for melodrip.

But wait how can sprometheus like I thought it ruined beds?

Anyone here use this thing from my country? How is it compare to your coffee maker?

Aeropress FUCKIN gang

>>17679077
is this literally just a steel cup, or is there some sort of filter on the bottom?
because otherwise it looks like a very small and awkward french press

>>17679096
It have a steel filter under. The whole kit is like this, normally we buy grounded coffee.

>>17679115
ah so it's pretty much like a kalita but without the paper filter
looks nice, which country is it from?

>>17679090
I preordered an aeropress go instead of the normal editon
Did I fuck up?

Also should I get a metal filler for aeropress apparently it will makes it taste closer to french press since it retains the oil

>>17679140
The smaller one in my image is the AeroPress go. I enjoy it alot. Easy to travel with.
As for the metal filter, I don't use one or recommend one. If you want a french press, but a french press. Use the AeroPress as intended, and if you somehow end up disliking the flavour then sure, order a metal filter....

I'm sipping on a really French Press at a café in Mexico, and this bitch won't stop recording me.

does that work like sodium bicarbonate in that it is highly basic and will neutralize acidity? definitely a possible effect to think about when using it, but I've heard of people using sodium bicarbonate to reduce the acidity of coffee so its a potentially desirable effect

>>17678492
Step 1: boil the water.

Why do smoothbrains drink coffee through a straw when the hole in a to-go cup is already straw-sized?

>>17680144

There is also lots of variation, especially with large samples and no cover. 3 drops and cover the damn thing.

>>17680393
2-3x bloom, 2x pour was the original recipe it says to start with. My packaging mentioned checking the website for updates. 15g coffee, bloom 45g to expel gasses and feel for dry pockets, maintain water level with 30g pulses. I don't fuck with flat bottom filters so I can only assume in that official MD video he's blooming at 2x since its a much shallower bed vs a cone.
>Cope
They said they tried it, didn't like it, didn't use it, and still lost the WBrC? Only the top 6 make it to the finals so you'd think it would be worth mentioning.

Is that the 3rd place 2021 WbrC winner using a melodrip? Weird.

>>17680527
So 1st and 2nd place winners didn't use one? Weird.

>>17680578
1st and 2nd tried to get him disqualified for tomfoolery and shenanigans. They were quickly overruled as Melodrip happens to donate $5 yearly to the SCA. Aeropressers in shambles.

>2-3x bloom, 2x pour was the original recipe it says to start with. My packaging mentioned checking the website for updates. 15g coffee, bloom 45g to expel gasses and feel for dry pockets, maintain water level with 30g pulses.
Where does it say that in the recipe on the website? You know, the one I just posted? Why are you relying on what a coffeetuber tells you to do?
>I don't fuck with flat bottom filters so I can only assume in that official MD video he's blooming at 2x since its a much shallower bed vs a cone.
So you didn't even watch the video? The entire technique is completely different and I said nothing about the bloom amount in that video.

You seem to be a little confused. The Sprometheus video you copied the recipe from says 30g pours whenever the water level goes below the bed. The recipe on the website says 3x coffee weight pours but then also says 100g pours for 18-20g coffee dose, which is not 3x, and also that the water level should be kept 1 cm above the bed. Are your seriously confusing pour weight with the bloom weight?
>>You're watching a 5 year old video and wondering why there's been development since?
>That video came out May 2017.
What's your point? The video you took your recipe from came out in 2019.

I was unaware sprometheus had a md video until I linked that yesterday. I'm telling you what the fucking cardboard packaging had printed, as of the time of his video.
>>17680649
I wonder if there's anyway you can tune that further for your coffee's notes/roast level/roast date. Fresher coffees bloom to a higher volume so the extra water weight is necessary. Great starting point that recipe A. I typically brew 35g+ of coffee into a kruve evoke, so none of the recipes were scaled correctly for me. So I checked the website and started playing around with 3x pulses. 35g of coffee gives you about 6 100g pours which is perfect for the evoke. I might have to bloom 4x for some coffees and drip ~80g after the bloom. I think there's something about a learning curve, but once you get past that there's no reason you can't take 3rd in the world at WBrC.
>Hoffman does this with his squaremile blend, so I have to do the same with Aldi's Brekkie Blend.

>The more I argued with them, the better I came to know their dialectic. First they counted on the stupidity of their adversary, and then, when there was no other way out, they themselves simply played stupid. If all this didn't help, they pretended not to understand, or, if challenged, they changed the subject in a hurry, quoted platitudes which, if you accepted them, they immediately related to entirely different matters, and then, if again attacked, gave ground and pretended not to know exactly what you were talking about. Whenever you tried to attack one of these apostles, your hand closed on a jelly-like slime which divided up and poured through your fingers, but in the next moment collected again. But if you really struck one of these fellows so telling a blow that, observed by the audience, he couldn't help but agree, and if you believed that this had taken you at least one step forward, your amazement was great the next day. The Melodripper had not the slightest recollection of the day before, he rattled off his same old nonsense as though nothing at all had happened, and, if indignantly challenged, affected amazement; he couldn't remember a thing, except that he had proved the correctness of his assertions the previous day.

Why is agitation weird bullshit? Shake the shit out of a thermos full of grounds and hot water, then filter it. You're getting a drastically different cup compared to one you just let sit in the thermos for the same amount of time before filtering.

I'm getting my girlfriend a hario switch for our anniversary, do I want a size 02 or 03? She usually makes iced coffee, I'm hoping this gives her the ability to make a few other styles without too much overhead

>>17683616
actually just kidding since the 03 wouldn't arrive for a month or so. Is 200ml enough for most mixed coffee types? Would you ever find 200ml too small?

>>17683628
My standard cup of coffee is 200-250ml.

Depends if you like big cups of coffee it might not be big enough.

>>17683616
out of curiosity. Whats the appeal? It's 55 quid for something that does immersion them perculation. If you wanted that, why not get an aeropress?

>>17683546
Travel grinder should be sturdy. Ceramic is not sturdy. Drop grinder with ceramic burrs once, and you need to buy a new grinder.
Sure seems like a smart decision, rite?!

dialing in some peaberry. hit the bitterness wall before any interesting flavor notes came out. suspecting these beans are overroasted.

>>17683769

I think I brewed my first proper cup of espresso today.
Medium Colombian roast, roasted locally, fruity, acid notes. The aftertaste has been following me for the last hour. I'm in fucking love.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

>>17683812
Retard

>>17683971
What kind of machine you used?

>>17684038
A 1zpresso j-max to grind the beans and a dedica with a bottomless portafilter to extract them. 14g in, ~25 out in 30s (controlling flow is really hard on this machine) ground at 1.7.7 ticks on the j-max.
1.8.0 was giving me a fuller brew, but it was much more acidic to the point where it wasn't enjoyable while drinking black, going one step finer fixed that.

Why would you ever get a crank grinder when you can just get a push button grinder?

>>17684056
Cool. That's also a pretty affordable setup, very nice that it makes tasty coffee

>>17684090
Sadly the machine chokes on finer grinds and has serious problems keeping a high water temp, I'm worried it won't be able to extract light roasts well, but I'll cross that bridge once I get to it.

>>17684067
not that guy who brewed espresso (congrats anon) but cost effectiveness and ease of cleaning were my primary reasons

>>17684067
The good electric ones seemed very expensive and autistic enthusiast only when I was buying my first grinder. I've grown to like cranking it since

>>17684067
What the others said, cost/quality ratio was the main factor, and I don't mind cranking.

>>17682116
>then it spends the next 5-10 minutes
>slowly gurgling the rest of the coffee out
what the fuck.
also you temp is too low. are you using gas? if you are the flames should make a ring the same circumference of the base no larger no smaller.

you need to remove the pot from the heat once it gets close to the bottom of the spout and then rinse the bottom under cold water, you will feel the base rumble through the handle, when that stops turn the water off and place the pot in a safe heat proof place (the counter top should be fine since the metal has been cooled by the cold water but there is still very hot water inside so it will still be too hot to touch).

then pour into your cup of choice and enjoy.

you do not want to fill the the entire top with coffee.
make sure you are standing next to the pot with the lid open to make sure the flow is steady and at the right speed, and to know when to take it off( seriously take it off well before it starts uncontrollably flowing and spurting out the top)

ill probably have another one later.

not him but Vietnam. Traditionally we drink strong coffee with Robusta beans.

ok, this may sound like blasphemy, but im in desperate times

im expecting a storm to come through this week, and power outages are very likely, and i drink black coffee everyday
so im planning on brewing a bunch of coffee to last me the week, and seal it in mason jars in the fridge
im not much of a cold brew, or cold coffee guy
so, how bad will it be if i reheat a cup a day?
im expecting it to be slightly worse, but hopefully not too bad
any anons with experience doing anything similar?

pls help, i just dont want to drink shit coffee, or no coffee

>>17686524

Imagine thinking adding a couple dozen milligrams of basic salts is a chemistry experiment. Coffee is 98% water and the minerals in that water are what will bond with the acids in coffee to give it flavour.
Unless you’re getting pissy about measuring the amount of minerals added for the sake of consistency, in which case I sure fucking hope you don’t weigh out your coffee, measure the water temperature, or grind the coffee with an adjustable burr grinder.

>>17681217
fruity beats nutty

Anyone mix bourbon in their coffee before? I've heard of Irish coffees or mixing bourbon. I tried Old Forester 100 mixed in my go to strong brew, Community New Orleans roast I made in a cheap-o espresso maker.
It was okay, and I could see how it would be good but maybe I had the wrong combo or something. I like unfiltered black coffee and bourbon that doesn't taste entirely like vanilla. Maybe I should steam some milk and try it.
Anyone here know a good coffee and liquor combo?

Are moka pots always the same? I bought one from the supermarket a few years ago for a fiver. Are the bialettis better or is it just the brand name?

I dropped a shot of howler head in mine last month. Immediately reminiscent of a darker stout. Oddly satisfying but I haven't tried it again. If I'm going to have a nip with espresso I usually splash it in with the last dregs.

Far more capable than an entry level machine, but you're going to have potentially annoying workflow/thermal stability.

put kettle on stove. Turn it off before it starts to steam. Add 1/4 cup hot water to mug.
Add One and 1/3 "scoops" of light roast to aeropress, inverted. Wet the filter.
Add hot water to top line of aeropress. Use bottom of scoop to stir 4 times.
Screw on the lid. Turn over onto mug and press. Wala.
Simple and effective. No fucking around. I used to follow recipes and weights and timers but it doesn't take much to make great coffee with the AeroPress

>>17689850

not international no help to you probably but I love this cheap shit from NZ

>>17691195
Ok how should I be allocating my money between the grinder and the actual machine? 1:1?

>>17691213
You can barely buy an entry level espresso machine for $500. If you get a hand grinder which I don't recommend for espresso then that would be $100-200, decent electric grinders start around $500.

>>17691260
Shit, not what I wanted to hear.
On the one hand, now is the time to splurge with inflation being so high but I really don't want to drop 1500 on a coffee maker

>>17691213
Depends. Think exactly what you want and how you're going to intend on using it. Is this going to be a multiple shot daily thing? I've had no issue hand grinding with a kinu m47phoenix($199) for years. Causes problems for some people. Obviously super light roasts are going to be harder to hand grind. You could ~double the kinu's cost and get whats essentially a motorized hand grinder.
https://www.option-o.com/shop/lagom-mini
Great burrs and build quality, but these have shitty motors/power supplies so don't expect to be able to run it like a shop grinder. If you're sticking within 2-3 shots a day you probably won't have an issue.

>>17691260
>which I don't recommend for espresso

Should I get an aeropress or aeropress go?

>>17691767
depends on how many dicks you suck.
if its above 15 a week yes if below 1 no.

>>17691784
do you go anywhere where you NEED coffee and can make an aeropress that is better than any other coffee in the area.

or if you go camping more than 6 hours away from civilization.

or just watch this video.

Got a gooseneck kettle for my pourovers/v60. So far I'm not impressed by it. Maybe it's because I'm more used to my regular kettle and pouring with that. But I'm not noticing any significant difference in my cup, and maybe it is even a little worse than normal.

I can try again later with another cup or tomorrow morning. But today was blooming for a bit, then pouring the rest over slowly like normal, and swirling the top to make sure it came out even. Normally with my regular kettle it comes out great and consistent, but with the gooseneck it came out good but not great like normal. Any tips or something I should be doing differently?

>>17679414
kek? why was she recording you, because you're white and stand out or something?
how was the coffee, what did you get?

>>17680198
I never really thought about how using a straw bypasses the teeth before.
>>17688645
I have some questions.
Is the cup annoying to hold or drink from? Does it get too hot?
Is the amount it holds a "normal" amount, so to speak? E.g compared to one you'd get a cafe

>>17692445
Did you season the new kettle yet?

>>17692445
gooseneck is just for accuracy and consistency. if you can be just as accurate and consistent with a wide mouth kettle then there is no difference.

>>17687713
Best mix of coffee + alcohol is...

>>17675185
You should do the exact opposite and aimed for neutral tasting water. What you should look for is a water with the lowest surface tension possible.

>>17692465
cup isn't annoying to hold/drink from at all. i find it very comfy. doesn't get hot; lattes aren't very hot to begin with anyways but it's just agateware.
this is a 5/6 floz cup. i have some larger ones for larger lattes.

>>17689130
This looks a lot like the house I lived in 4 years ago, including the manga and tea collection. Interesting.

I tried light roast specialty coffee from some award winning roaster
and one tasted like cherry juice and one was like green tea
is this really what is popular in specialty cafes

doesn't even taste like coffee to me tbqh

>>17689130
I have the same hairstyle.

>>17692590
how was it brewed?
because i remember i only had enough for half a basket of my $50 panama geisha for my moka pot and that shit tasted like the best fruit tea i had ever had. meanwhile the full strength brew still tasted like coffee but had crazy floral and citrus notes.

>>17692605

I prefer medium roast + milk. simple as

Excuse me I'm looking for the aeropress gang? I've heard they meet here?

I don't normally dunk things in coffee or tea but these with some full bodied coffee are delightful

>>17694291

how small are those things? i'm intrigued

About an inch and 1/2 or so long and about 1/2 an inch wide.

aww, they're little baby nuggets. sounds good though.

>>17694358
Biscotti sized. ~finger length and width, some are a little chunkier. I'll snag a bag tomorrow. I think sam's club only had the brownie ones, but I could see cinnamon chocolate chip being a hit.

Making cold brew for the first time and assumed I didn't need instructions but I think I overfilled the cone and after 4 hours have dry grounds at the top. Ignore and use less next time or does it need addressed now?

>>17675102

>the cone
The what?

>>17694219
>you can't get 9 bars of pressure on an aeropress!
heh nothing personnel kid

>>17695413
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.
