Too bad this French faggot will never mention how fucking wide and hard to hold they are

how small are your hands cunt?

can you go finer?

>>17853367
Sumatran coffee is great, that sounds like it's going to be really good, enjoy anon.
Currently working through a bag of Peruvian grounds, not had a 5 strength in a while and it's nice.

>>17853841
Yeah nah, mate. Do the tips of your fingers touch the thumb when you hold it, I don't fucking think so. Even the ginger guy in the vid can't wrap his hand around it fully. Nice to know they might make a 25gram capacity version in the future. You really don't get how chubby this thing is from just watching videos.
Good video though. It's a good sign that a company explains how to take a product apart and modify it that much. Grindbuddy looks like another potential interesting option to make it motorized.

Also finally finished my bag of yirgacheffe. It was very tasty.

>>17853896
>when you hold it
i dont own one because im not retarded.

>>17853948
You're another example then. Just because hoffmeme praised it, doesn't mean it's not xboxhueg and hard to get used to holding. It's still good, just too fucking phat

>>17853850
did someone say SUMATRA

>>17853850
I'm waiting for the anon who said they would buy it last thread to say what they think about based cowboy blend

After less than a year, the novelty of manual machine and manual grinder has really worn off. 10 minutes to make a coffee is just too much effort.

Its time to upgrade but there seems to be so many espresso machines out there currently.

>>17854716
I mean espresso machine require regular cleaning so effort will still be taken.

>grounds in the freezer for months
>just toss it in to steep overnight
>tastes like starbucks
it's so easy
ik there's better ways if you want higher quality but for the price/effort it's worth it for me.

Nooooo the commandante looks like it would hurt my hands :(

>>17854716
just say you have no soul and be done with it.

Wait pastebinanon is SGPguy? LOL.

hello goffee frens

Why do you faggots get so assblasted about the melodrip when it's literally just doing what a batch brewer does

>>17855400
>literally just doing what a batch brewer does
exactly

>>17855400
Its a variable showerhead so it stumps morons. Its not a bandaid fix, its another tool to fuck with. You can still pour an uneven bed if you're not paying attention.

>buy some of this shit
>fairly dark as is expected
>use in french press

fuck all of you, you faggots lied to me

>buy some of this shit

>>17856138
Batch brewers, when properly setup and dialed in, will produce better coffee that you're likely to ever make at home. And not by a little bit.

>>17852813
I single dose my vario but going 2 years without disassembling and cleaning the burrs or at least running grindz through it is probably pushing it. I’ve got a shower screen and filter gasket kit coming in the mail and I plan to descale and flush my machine (also long overdue) so I guess I’ll probably clean my grinder at the same time as well

>>17856328
burr cleaning is a meme
grindz is a ridiculous meme
You want to clean out your grinder like grindz does? Grind some fucking coffee.

>>17856287
It's based

>>17856331
I bet you look like the faggot on the label
Dark roast is for sois and retards

>>17856336
Dark roast is joyful. I love to make a cup and watch my chickens scratch around the yard after they're let out in the morning then eat some of their delicious eggs.

>coffee bros I don't feel so good....

Just melodripped this V60. What do I think of it?

>>17856354
yeah id probably think of this too if I could just buy a bag of coca leaves from someone's grandma while out for a morning stroll

>>17856354
That coffee looks like it was ground with an Akirakoki

>>17856354
I love things like that, would absolutely try it

What's something else I can grind in a manual coffee grinder beside pepper? I've got a lowend kingrinder I no longer use, it'd make a bitchin pepper grinder but I already have the Ikea one I use

>>17856690
coffee beans

>finally make a decent cup
>it goes sour 10 minutes later

>>17856697
Aside from that and pepper

>>17856497
Grind finer, lower your water level.

>>17856880
Why?

>>17856899
Because I told you to, faggot

>>17856899
Less bypass of the bed, higher slurry temp, more extraction.

>>17856911
Please don't call me a little faggot it makes me rock hard

>>17856985
So you're a big faggot now, are ya? ;)

>>17856690
It'd have to be something not too oily. Anything that'll make a paste like flax seeds or nuts wont work in a conical grinder.

>>17856690
This reminds me of when this fat jew tried to steal my coffee grinder to grind weed with it in college. I don't know how that would even work since I imagine it's too light to properly feed into the burrs and I would also assume the resin shit that comes out of it would clog everything up.

>>17857109
I had an idiot friend who wanted to core out a $15 cigar to stuff with $5 of bud.

>>17856918
>more extraction
Does this mean more coffee per coffee?

Is it feasible to brew Turkish/Greek coffee with the silly mini pot? I have just a nonstick pan and a stainless pot and I’m curious if that’s doable.

>>17857297
Of course. Just milydripped an origami. Think I finally tamed this hazelnutty maragogipe. Best cup I've ever made of this. Candy sweet, little fruit acid on the tongue at the finish, then a tiny bit of hazelnut on the exhale.

>>17856706
Maybe cardamom? That's better fresh ground, but I always use a mortar & pestle for it. It might be too hard for a coffee grinder.

>>17857432
>i dont even v60 and i know that's too coarse. that shit looks like bad meatloaf.

>>17857432
Why did you mix onions with the grounds?

>>17857815
Lance Hedrick won third place in the WBrC by mixing onions into his grounds

>>17857781
Neat idea. I already have 2 mortar and pestles though and an electric spice grinder. I guess I'll just wait until the ikea pepper grinder breaks

>>17857821
Must I start HRT now too since Lance Hedrick won third place in the WBrC?

>>17857832
If you want to be as good as him, then yes. Ignore the fact that the 1st and 2nd place winners are not on HRT.

just got some washed peruvian coffee beans, what will i think of them?

>>17858194
idk

I've made putting Ovaltine in my coffee a habit. What are your thoughts? I think it's delicious.

>>17857832
Wait what? Lance Hedrick is a troon?

>>17858437
Yes, sorry to be the one to break it to you meloposter. Lance Hedrick (born Laney Hedrick) is a beautiful and valid trans man.

>>17858437
No and he also hasn't taken 3rd at wbrc.

whats a good price for coffee subscription?

I dont want to get ripped off

Thinking about ordering from Kuma Coffee in seattle. Anyone try them? Should I be getting a different roaster in the area?

How to make chicken and rice less disgusting? Any seasoning ohter then salt and pepper?

>>17860510
cook it over fire

>>17860510
just a little baking soda does the trick

For me it's generic brand Keurig with coffee mate

>>17860432
Sey is one of the best roasters there is. Their subscription nets you a 250g bag for $20 and free shipping. Saves $3-$5 a bag if you're only on the 1x250g sub and gets progressively cheaper.
https://www.seycoffee.com/products/coffee-subscription

I asked this last time but everyone called me retarted and autistic.

I want an expresso machine for around $500, I don't want a milk foamer attached, because I heard they can break if you don't vent after use and I make coffee a lot when drunk. I will get a seperate milk foamer.

>>17860707
They probably send out their cheapest and shittiest blends with subscription services like that which is why I refuse to use them. You don't even get an option there to at least tell them your preferences for region or processing method.

>>17852813
coffee is shit with very few exceptions like italian ristretto and maybe turkish idk.

>>17861221
get a moka pot for the espresso and a french press to make the foam

>>17861243
They're a microroaster bud. I think they only do single origins and field blends. Small batch, once its gone it usually doesn't come back until the next harvest. You're getting one of the 4-6 coffee they list that month.
https://www.seycoffee.com/collections/coffee
https://www.seycoffee.com/collections/archived-coffees

>>17861221
No, we told you to get a flair and a bellman. You said you'd look into it. Have you?

>>17861422
>You're getting one of the 4-6 coffee they list that month.
Yeah the cheapest and shittiest blend out of all of them.

>>17856497
This was actually swirled and not melodripped btw I lied lol

>>17861221
>but everyone called me retarted and autistic.
YOU CALLED YOURSELF AUTISTIC!
fucking retard.

>>17861221
>I asked this last time but everyone called me retarted and autistic.
You say that as if we were just being mean and calling you retarded and autistic for no reason. I only call people retarded and autistic when they are genuinely behaving in a manner that I associate with retards and autists.

>>17861559
And the cheapest caffeinated coffee on their site right now is more expensive by $3.25 a bag + shipping. I don't imagine they're sending out decaf in the subscription unless specifically asked for. If you want all of their coffees on hand, once a month, order the 4 x 250g for $60 shipped.
https://www.seycoffee.com/collections/coffee/products/gore-dako

>>17861627
Fine I'll buy your shill coffee, but only once and only because I love you, if it's shit though I'm going to scream and shit myself.

>>17861635
Got a sample of wate gogugu from them in standart last year. It was the best of the 4 roasters I got to sample and I've ordered a few other ethiopians to try from them since. Zero complaints if you like light roast. Only thing that pissed me off was I couldn't buy more of the sample I got. The other 3 roasters were Father's in czech republic, Cloudpicker in Dublin, and The Barn in Berlin. Not wanting to order shit from overseas may factor into my ranking though. The ethiopian Bombe from fathers was also S tier. Sey ships their sub on the first of the month so just wait a bit.

Wikipedia says the pressure isn't the same

However, a typical moka coffee is extracted at relatively low pressures of 1 to 2 bar (100 to 200 kPa),[9] while standards for espresso coffee specify a pressure of 9 bar (900 kPa). Therefore, moka coffee is not considered to be an espresso and has different flavor characteristics.[14][15]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moka_pot#Brewing_coffee_with_a_moka_pot

>>17861845
buy a flair and fuck off, sick of this schizo shit.

>>17861875
Do you have one?
Do you regularly go to a coffee shop as well and get expresso there?
Is it the same as one from a coffee shop?
Thank You anon

>>17861854
You are too stupid to notice the difference between Moka pot swill and actual espresso so just save yourself a significant amount of money and buy a $30 Moka pot

>>17861879
>expresso
actually kill yourself

>>17861883
I don't see why my intelligence would effect my taste, so am I to take it the answer is no

anyway i made a delicious cup this morning, i think ill order these peruvian beans again, really smooth "light" flavor but still complex enough to really make me think about every sip.
cant wait to make another cup later today.

>>17861892

Why are Euros always so combative and uptight, don't they realize that dialects exist and the correct spelling can change according to place.

Everyone in this thread is American we're just not retarded spergs like you

>>17861958
>Euros
rent free

>But, as it turns out, there's a problem with that reasoning.
>Exprimere is an ancestor of our word express and does indeed mean, among other things, "to press or squeeze out" in Latin. The English verb express means, among other things, "to force out (something, such as the juice of a fruit) by pressure," which accurately describes what takes place when espresso is made—hot water is forced through the grounds by way of steam pressure (approximately nine atmospheres' worth).

Holy fucking Amerilard cope.
>So does this mean we've been wrong about expresso all this time? Yes and no. Espresso remains the original borrowed word for the beverage
>Espresso remains the original borrowed word for the beverage
>Espresso remains the original borrowed word for the beverage
>Espresso remains the original borrowed word for the beverage
>But our incorrect butchering of the word also is right because... because it just is okay????

>English we say “made expressly for me” using a word that shares roots with espresso, and today expresso is a widely used variant.
Who the fuck thinks that espresso is "coffee made expressly for me"? This shit is actual 1984 newspeak. Can't wait for the dictionary to start including "could of" and "would of" and other niggerspeak as "widely used variants" of actual words just to please uneducated niggers like this expresso spamming faggot.

>>17861879
Not him but yes and yes. My espresso is better because I'm dialing in per shot, not per shift. I don't steam milk so their milk is better. If I bought a bellman(or pic rel) it would take me ~a month to get competent. Right now when I want to emulate a milk drink I just shake the fuck out of a carton of whatever milk alternative on hand and microwave it in one of these for 25s.

I just found 10lbs of ethiopian greens I forgot I bought. Today was a good day.

Nevermind this piece of shit is $270 shipped kek.

>>17862172
I could make this for $30 with parts from Home Depot

>>17862172
It's a cool toy. If you can afford it, why not?

Finally stocked up on coffee & cream today. Got a few different varieties, some Ethiopian, got some from the DRC and a few others. The only thing I put in my coffee if anything is a bit of sweet cream. I do get the flavored shit for the wife, I found a few that are actually drinkable so I usually get those.

>>17862199
coffee&cream like pods, or just normal coffee beans and cream you put in the fridge?
I used to think Ethiopian was bad with milk because of the fruitiness, but you know it's actually pleasant if you make it right

>>17862193
prove it.

>>17862196
Functionally identical to the bellman and like the other anon said I could just rig one up myself. I think if I was stupid enough to spend +$300 just for milk, I'd just flip the flair and preorder the argos. The dumb coffee purchase for the year was the wug. Maybe next year I'll build out a new roaster and get a steamer.

>>17862268
There is no reason for a bunch of metal tubes and a pressure gauge to cost more than $30

>>17862350
You should make it and post it on /diy/ and here. it'd be a cool project.

How do I, an Aeropress user, contact John Aeropress, CEO of Aeropress?

>>17862121
I guess the reason I'm suspicious about the flair, moka pot, and other cheap ones, is for one the lack of pressure compared to a normal one, but even more so is the low price. If these can deliver expresso of comparable quality then why are there so many much more expensive options?

>>17862436
>If these can deliver expresso of comparable quality
They don't. But as we have already said, a retard like you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. So go buy a Moka pot and fuck off.

>>17862436
The Flair, especially the 58 one, absolutely delivers the same espresso as you'd get in a coffee shop from a standard machine. Maybe even better coffee. More expensive options are just a lot more convenient and uninvolved. Also there's the milk steamer thing.

Also gonna adjust my redclix cuckmandante for Turkish grind for some 50% arabica Napoli blend. Hope it won't take me 3 mins to grind a dose.

>>17862353
>no proof
yeh didnt think so

>>17862573
The proof is that there is no reason for those parts to cost more than $30. Just buy the parts and make it yourself. That appears to be what they did and they're fleecing you for 10x its actual value.

>>17862587
You're just encouraging some retard to make a botched pressure cooker and kill himself

>>17862509
Well that was easy. It's still too fat for my liking, but if you go slow comandante does grind stuff pretty effortlessly.

>>17862605

Ok and?
>>+ at least 50% markup on everything just listed
Or $30 if you make it yourself

Honestly I'd shell out $110 for the bellman in a heartbeat if this threaded on. I just don't make milk drinks enough to want it right now and don't give a shit about latte art. Kind of want to buy a juicer and a quantum board for a wheatgrass/microgreen farm instead.

Why would I spend $270 on some piece of shit that I could make myself with $30 of parts and 30 minutes of my time?

>>17863478
I'm curious about them too.

I buy Walmart brand coffee and cook it in my $15 Mr. Coffee, and drink each cup with a full tablespoon of sugar and lots.of cream.

>>17860499
I decided to go with Tony's coffee in the end.

does anyone else have a jar where they dump all bits of coffee that are too small to use?

i have a jar that has probably 30 different grinds (all the same size btw) that i use when its late and i want a coffee but dont want to use the grinder (paper thin walls).
it pretty much just has a generic "coffee" taste/feel to it.

>>17864017
No? Why would I do that?

>>17864317
why wouldnt you?
do you grind the exact amount you need to use?
sounds lame.

>>17864434
Yes because I'm not a meal prepping homosex. Chop your ingredients as you use them, not before.

>>17863572
based and walmartpilled

Medium roast is the objectively superior roast level, as the acidity and body are perfectly balanced. Why wouldn't you want to achieve a proper balance of flavors? Do you suck at cooking too?

I'm going to be honest. I'm not liking this Yirga.

>>17865278
Small farm coop landrace shit is fickle. You're getting a b l e n d of different plots and praying that most of them tended their plants correctly, then hoping your roaster didn't botch the landing. I'm about to roast an lb of this up after I knock out some guatamalan for a friend
https://www.allycoffee.com/coffees/gedeb-chelchele-natural/

If I can't clean a moka pot with just water, because then the coffee oils will remain and go rancid and make the coffee bitter, and I can't clean a moka pot with soap, because it will ruin the moka pot, then how am I supposed to clean this thing?

>>17865377
White vinegar

>>17865377
Buy a stainless steel one and clean it with soap

>>17865356
Yeah I guess I shouldn't have expected much from a $10 a pound bag. Used hotter water and a longer steep to see if that could help but nah. Guess it's further proof that buying from amazon isn't too smart. Though perhaps my lack of appreciation for acidity is down to growing up with my grandpa's love for french roast coffee

>>17865412
Next time buy $20 of white powders on amazon and you can always tune the water. Try tame down the acidity. I snagged 20lbs of that chelchele for $135 shipped

>>17865500
Oh yeah I increased the hardness too but the notes I didn't like still bled through. 2nd time I've tried a "fruity" coffee and I haven't liked either (previous was dallmayr prodomo)

>>17865530
>dallmayr prodomo
>fruity

>>17862587
the main issue I would see is getting it to stand upright but I have a welder so I could just tack some screws for a tripod. although $30 is a bit generous because you would likely need to drill and tap a hole and with pressure gauges they would be some form of NPT which is not a normal tap size.

>>17865377
You can use soap, just very little is needed. You don't need to use soap everytime. I rinse mine with hot water and wipe it down real good with a paper towel to remove the oils. I only use a smidge of dish soap after theres a lot of build up showing. You just don't want to use somthing like barkeepers friend or putting it in the dishwasher.

>>17865377

>>17867048
this.
i just use hot water and a dishcloth to clean it and about once a week i will use some dish soap on the top bit. and then once a month i will take it apart and take out the cleaning tooth brush and spend like an hour just methodically cleaning every inch of it, that is probably excessive but you can really just zone out.
and it feels good knowing you have cleaned it to the best of your abilities.

Teafag trying to get into coffee. Got a French press and a grinder from the place I used to work at.

About how much beans to water do you do? Someone once told me 35g to 10 oz water. That seem about right?

>>17852813

>>17867169
35g to 10 oz is strong as fuck. I'd go for 1:14 ratio for french press which would be about 20g to 10oz water

>>17867169
>>17867198
Also please stop mixing metric and imperial units, it's retarded. Stick with metric for coffee, as it's much more widely used. Whoever heard of an espresso dose of 0.63 oz? No, it's 18g.

Thanks for reading my blog

I need some of those little espresso spoons, but which one do I want?

>>17867736
Just search for demitasse spoons. They're just tiny spoons, it doesn't really matter.

>>17867723
no problem, can't wait for the next blog entry.

>>17860510
I dunno, add some hot sauce?

>>17860510
Try this sauce:
1 tbsp curry powder
2 tbsp white sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
2 tbsp fish sauce
Optionally add some lemongrass

Mix up into a thick sauce and marinate up to 1 lb of chicken in the sauce, can be done immediately before cooking. Stir-fry and enjoy. Eat with rice.

I use aldi or wal-mart brand coffee and a regular $10 coffee maker.

By suggesting people don't pay MORE than sey charges for their subscription? I was giving the guy an upper limit to look out for. $20/250g is sky high. Don't pay more for less, worse coffee.

I'm going to be honest. I'm not liking this Sumatra.

Bros you ever had a tim tam slam before? Uniroincally the best treat I've ever had with my coffee.

Just stalled a mily of the fresh brazilians/guat from last week. Somehow this is still drinkable on a 9min drawdown. Accidental hario switch tek, might as well be a filtered immersion brew. This is what "balanced" south american blends tastes like if you don't roast the fuck out of it. Clean, sweet, not too acidic, little peanut butter cup aftertaste.

Hello coffeefags, first time in the thread,

I drink INSTANT COFFEE, maybe 1-2 times a day, I take 4 teaspoons and scoup that shit in a mug, and put hot water int it, mix it, voila

Call me a pleb but I like convenience, this is the shit I buy in my shithole's supermarchen (pic related)
Description:
"Bonora instant coffee beans are a blend of Robusta and Arabica coffee varieties"
"Made from selected coffee beans, which are roasted, ground and filtered naturally, NESCAFE® CLASSIC® coffee wakes up"

Works for me, but I like buying shit in bulk to save money and if I can improve the flavor too, why the hell not. Got any recommendations for me /ctg/? I wont bother to do more than pour boiling water in it, the rest is too complicated for me

>>17869864
by the way, I DRINK IT BLACK, NO SUGAR NO NOTHING, I like the taste and its no calories, if I dont have time for it I pop a caffeine pill

>>17869864

>>17869907
that's the one where he sounded sad people actually drank that stuff right?

>>17869918
>Instant is a little snapshot of coffee buts its not the whole picture. Fresh ground coffee would DESTROY everything here and I can't emphasize that enough. The difference is night and day. If you enjoy instant coffee just know that there's so much more joy to be had in your morning cup in the world of whole bean fresh ground coffee brewed well.

>>17869781
Well fuck I have a pack now. Going to do this.

Hai guis what do you think of my setup?

i am very happy with my purchase

Help I started drinking decaf and I dont know when to stop

I wanted to prove to myself im not addicted to caffeine but now I'm scared Ill just get addicted again. Is caffeine even real?

>>17867187
>>17867193
So tried this ratio today and damn. Much better coffee than my usual shit.

Now this might just be my tea background, but is there any disadvantage making a big press full of coffee and letting the grounds just sort of steep there between cups? Know with tea you want to pour out the entire pot soon as the brew time is up or else it'll get super bitter. Is it the same in coffee's case?

>>17858274
good stuff if its the kind with malt. kinda meh if it's the kind without.

>>17870471
It'll be overextracted AF and super bitter. Don't to it.

>>17867602
>coffee known for tasting heavily defected
I'll gtfo thanks

>>17867071
also works on cloth filters, as that is what the original purpose of this formulation.

>>17870742
Its basically powdered lye with a foaming agent.

>>17870352
My parents have that. It's not bad desu. Its what the Keurig wishes it was. Only thing is I wish you could control the steeping more like your can with mechanical based cheap brewers.

>>17870471
This always works out ok for me and I roughly follow Hoffmans technique. I normally make around 400-500ml which is enough for about 2-3 cups which I just pour 1 cup at a time.

I actually find it quite an interesting way to drink coffee. With each cup, you start to lose clarity but you gain some texture. I have never found it to go overly bitter if left too long. The main problem is it gets too muddy.

>>17868991
I take a Picopresso on work trips and and I'm genuinely pleased with it for that

why is the first one greenish

bros I want to get some fancy coffee for my moms birthday and gift it to her but I don't drink coffee myself so I'm clueless
what are some high quality "light" coffees I can gift her? there is so many and it's all so confusing for a coffeelet like me

>>17872017
how does she brew?
what does she normally drink?
how much do you want to spend?

>>17872062
>how does she brew?
she has a delonghi coffee maker that has espresso maker and everything with it that I bought her a while ago
>what does she normally drink?
supermarket packaged lavazza qualita rossa coffee is the one she is always buying
>how much do you want to spend?
money is not issue as long as it's not ridiculously expensive but I'd rather get something that she can buy for herself again if she likes it

>>17872073
>money is not issue as long as it's not ridiculously expensive
just say what your max is, $50? $100? $500?
also what country? i assume america but you never know.
anyway i would recommend a Geisha from panama, i bought 100g for $50 a few months ago and it was the best coffee i had ever tasted (mind you i brew with a moka pot and im in australia.) it won some competition like 20 years ago and was rated 90+ (these days its only around mid 80s).
its called "Panama, Finca Lerida Geisha". im sure other anons here will call me a fag and a retard and their coffee is better but thats just my experience.
also here is a list of some of the best coffee in recent years
>https://www.coffeereview.com/top-30-coffees-2021/

>>17872073
If all that she drinks is crap like Lavazza it doesn't really matter what you get her because she won't be able to appreciate it anyways so just get something that sounds fancy

>>17872280
this

>>17869545
used hotter water. Tastes better but doesn't really seem interesting. Oh well now I know just to buy directly from a local roaster

Shit thread doesn't even deserve the coof

>>17873626
*brap*

dark roast + donut or gtfo

Where my instant coffee bros @

How do people trick themselves into thinking dark roasts taste good? What's the secret?

>>17852813
Not sure what happened. I went through a coffee phase a few years ago. Tried decent coffee, bought good grinders, have every coffee device, now I just drink Folgers with some creamer. It’s not as good but it’s tastes good enough. Any other bros here downgrade?

>>17874807
Likely it's all they've ever tasted or it's the idea that coffee is "supposed" to taste dark and bitter so dark roasts must be good therefore I have to enjoy it

>>17874807
Grew up drinking it like my grandpa did. I don't know why that generation wanted their coffee as roasted as possible but that's just how it went. I'm struggling trying to enjoy high acidity coffee lol

>>17874937
Define good grinders.

>>17875058
>I don't know why that generation wanted their coffee as roasted as possible but that's just how it went
Because prior to modern processing techniques, light roast coffee had a high chance of spoiling during the drying process. Light vs dark roast wasn't so much a choice between light vs dark flavor as it was "spoiled" vs "at least it fucking tastes like coffee" flavor

>>17875098
Baratza Virtuoso Preciso. Good enough for a decent pourover. I also have a Timemore manual grinder.

Idk, I really don't think folgers is as bad as people say it is. It's fairly meh, nothing particular good or bad about it. I've made much worse coffee with shitty pourover technique.

So why exactly should I spend $500 on a meme lever when the Picopresso does the same thing but is significantly more portable and is cheaper?

>>17875400
Because I told you to, faggot

>>17874807
>he hasn't taken the SUMATRApill

What is the most based brew temp?

>>17875400
Picopresso is good for hotel rooms and camping but not brilliant for day in, day out use, a powered home machine or a Flair has a much better workflow. With my espresso machine at home, assuming it's up to temp, I can pull a shot, drink it, and be cleaned up in less than four minutes. With the Picopresso, it's between 8-10

>>17875400
If you want "espresso", you are better off just buying a moka pot. It gets you around 80 percent there. If that's not enough for you and you want to go full autism, you can get into home brewing espresso but it's really an endeavour for the most pretentious 4chan user.

>>17875383
Dogshit and discontinued for a reason.

>>17875576
I really doubt anything more expensive is suddenly going to make me "woke" on coffee.

>>17875585
You bought a $100 smoker from Home Depot and went back to eating mcribs. There's a clear difference between that and a nice offset, and if you're wasting your money on shit like that we know you're not buying quality meat to begin with. I think you'd get along great with the anon buying $10 lbs of ethiopian on amazon.

>>17874192
you DO buy $20 for 30g of specialty instant coffee right?

>>17874955
also normie retards think darker/more bitter = stronger = more caffeine = better
which is objectively wrong.

>>17875161
also the most common coffee making methods boomers used burnt the coffee meaning most people were used to boiling hot burnt and bitter coffee and they just accepted "well this is what coffee tastes like".

>>17875098
rok gc :)

>>17876201
You can jam the same precisio cone burr(baratza m2) onto that shaft if you drill out a small bit. But why the fuck would you waste $250 on the rok and then $40 on the burrs when you can get an encore esp with the same m2 burrs for $199 now? Dunno why baratza picked those m2 burrs for the espresso focused encore when folgersanon says they're great for pourover.

>>17876229
because the rok is fun to use :)

>>17876168
No

>>17875400
>>17875471
Remember that you still need a grinder capable of fines. If you want one but don't need it portable, get a ROK Espresso GC for about the same price as a picopresso.

>>17875927
Well in your opinion, what grinder would you say is the bare minimum for a good pour-over then?

>>17852813
I keep thinking its a pic of kidney stones

>>17876180
can you taste caffeine?

>>17877735
you can't read. try again.

>>17877735
shit bait

is coffe good for you?

I was given a bag of green beans. What's the most convenient way to roast them without buying a lot of extra stuff?

>>17854716

>>17857212
Weed smokers are vile, tactless individuals.

>>17863530
If you'll happily spend 30 minutes on a deranged schizoid rant about how easy it is to make this professionally made device, how about you go out, buy $30 worth of parts, and show the class that you're not just a preachy fag?

>>17877377
Well speaking for myself, anon, as I said, I only use the Pico away from home so I do have a hand grinder for that and a benchtop grinder for my home machine.

>>17877448
Q2 hept or the equivalent kingrinder. High clarity burrs with a low peak of fines.

anyone ever tried smoking their beans as part of the roasting process or as an added step after roasting? i feel like it would be hard to do smoking as a step in the roasting process given the low temperature required for smooking but i'm curious if anyone has any ideas or suggestions

>>17879260
No but I've wanted to smoke a tray of water for flash brewed filter though. Seems like a better way to infuse that flavor rather than getting a bunch of particulate carbon all over your freshly roasted beans.

>>17879260
No but I have tried smoking Lance's cock

>>17879260
You might get interested in post-fermentation

>>17879407
details? i can't find anything on "post-fermentation"

every time i v60 my coffee bed ends up sticking to the side and ends up in a v shape. i have to constantly swirl the v60 to get the end bed to be flat. any tips what imd oing wrong?

>>17880169
Melodrip

>>17880169
If it's sticking to the sides you ground too finely

>>17880169
Pour in a wider circle sometimes.

>>17880264
Hugely retarded take

>>17880279
just say you dont know anything and move on

itt schizos making bad coffee. All you need is a rok grinder and an aeropress.

>>17880322
This but ironically

>>17880283
I've made more coffee than you will in 10 lifetimes bud. I could make a v60 flat with an espresso grind. I could make the grounds stick up the side with whole beans.

>>17880362
>I could make a v60 flat with an espresso grind.
Not without a melodrip

>>17880362
Post timestamped webm of you doing it then

Just raped and murdered this V60. What do I think of it?

>>17880479
Looks like shit

A melamine sponge will remove tannins from your cookery with just a little water.

>>17880169
>constantly swirl
you over swirled it

>>17880638
Why?

>>17880322
>aeropress
you mean moka pot with an E&B labs competition filter right anon?

>>17880748
Is that what they use in 3 star restaurants?

>>17880830
It's what they use in 3rd place WBrC restaurants

>>17880833
Makes sense. They use flair58s in the #2 restaurant in the world.

hermanos should I get a cheap electric grinder or a cheap hand grinder?
I want to make espresso and turkish coffee but I'm afraid hand grinders can't make fine powder
