Been in the game for 15+ years, my coffee still sucks

>>18555301
because you are not playing the game because you dont care.

Man, Haru was a qt. I did a playthrough where I dated all the girls. Only really felt bad about cheating on her and Kawakami.

>>18555285
if burial anon is here. thanks those rips are so much higher quality, removed some of the weird audio artifacts that disrupted my listening experience on my old rips.

>>18555285
The mortar and pestle makes decent grounds, but they're nowhere near the same size. I'd have to sieve them to really get higher quality results. I think I'm gonna hunt down some unroasted beans and soak them in vodka for a week.

>>18555461
Glad you like em pal. Sipping on the same black honey from the other day, but in a nice cozy espresso on a cold night

I'm about to pull the trigger on a moka pot, but I'm not sure if i should get the E&B lab 3 cup or grab a Bialetti 3 cup and just get the B&L filter separately. Or is there a better option for "moka pot" brewing that I'm missing? (inb4 espresso)

Just got an Ethiopian light roast natural coffee from volcanica coffee. Its supposed to taste like blueberries, jasmine and sugarcane. It definitely tastes of blueberries at the beginning of a sip and sugarcane at the end but I can't make out the jasmine. It has only rested about 5 days so maybe it needs more time and clarity. As the cup cools the sugarcane takes over and it kind of tastes like molasses water, which is a good thing. All in all a 4/5 coffee.

>>18555493
>E&B lab 3 cup
get the 6cup E&B.

>>18555532
cont: oh and no moka is moka so if you want moka well i mean thats it.
if you want espresso in a moka format you should get the 9barista but it is very expensive.

It's such a shame that frozen custard doesn't work with coffee, because frozen custard is so much better than regular ice cream.

>>18555567
i heat up my milk last night and it split when i put the hot coffee in and then it made the coffee undrinkable... :(

>>18555529
Florals are more in the smells than the taste. When you grind and wet the coffee, get all sniffy in there.

>>18555555

recommend me a tasty mocha syrup that isn't that sweet. I love me chocolate

Just forced myself to drink the most disgusting cup I've made in a long while, and that's saying something. God I wish I had milk.

Do you all do a shot of espresso + warm/frothed milk?
Is this the true way to enjoy coffee

pepes been here a lot longer than this recent surge of people complaining about pepe

i think you should kill yourself instead of the frog you and your kind are really becoming cancer

>>18555704
nta but pepe was dull psuedshit from the start

>>18555723
you seem exactly like that anon with your wording actually

you could say the same about any meme. even ops /v/ persona pic would fit the 'dull psuedshit' criticism

frogshit is a newfag word id wager pepe is older than they are

>>18555653
For me, it is a full cup of regular coffee. Milk seems to dull all the flavors desu senpai

>>18555653
Personally, I prefer a simple light roasted arabica cold brew. Alternatively, the occasional macchiato or cappuccino (brewed with ristretto ideally) with a small bit of nocino is quite nice. Dirty chai can be good too.

Look at you, desperately reliant on your bean juice to be able to function. You pretend you are in control of your own life; the master of your destiny. But you do not control the bean. The bean controls you. Pathetic.
Sumatra or gtfo

>>18555738
I don't mind if you like pepe; it could be worse. But for me it seems like the frog has lost any of the meaning it might have had in the beginning. Even years ago elementary school kids were drawing pictures of him, nowadays it's likely one of your relatives might have a meme with pepe saved on their phone. I dunno; maybe I'm holding onto a past where "reaction images" were more than just chad pepe and wojak. I guess it's easier to have a folder of generic frogs you can use for any kind of conversation instead of cropping a relevant image, I get that. It just doesn't reflect well on the poster imo

>>18555774
you've really made up your ideal imageboard in your head. you aren't holding onto some past. old 4chan still had the set generic reaction images everyone rotated through if you never noticed it
>it just doesn't reflect well on the poster imo
it's a cartoon frog why would you even give a shit or read that deep into it

i prefer people at least posting some image on this imageboard over nothing. and i also prefer people who aren't taking themselves super seriously, bitterly lashing out over a cartoon on 4chan in a thread about coffee. it is truly pathetic

Look at him etc etc

>>18555789
>why would you even give a shit or read that deep into it
probably the same reason you replied to me.

Just got some coffee from a local roaster. Very robust taste, slightly chocolaty/malty and a nice silky aftertaste even when I have it black

>>18555765
Based

I had this coffee years and years ago that was ever so slightly viscous. I would like to recreate it. Is it possible to make this at home? I saw someone say that an aeropress with a metal filter gave him a little bit thicker coffee.

Can I use V60 recipes for a melita dripper? I've looked in the sticky and on youtube and didn't find much.

>>18556831
yes, you might need to grind a little differently for a melitta though

For pour over is using a faster filter and controlling draw down through the fineness of the grind the ideal? Like it seems like it would be the most efficient option, or near to it.

bitterness basically gone, replaced with a sour note, not too bad

Got into the manual coffee game like two months ago (trying out the moka pot, aeropress, V60 but mainly using the V60) and had my revelatory moment today when I visited my parents and had an "espresso" from their bean-to-cup machine. Shit was so sour, like fucking hell, none of my own brewing attempts ever tasted like that. A few months ago I had no clue coffee could even differ in taste to this extent.

>>18556992
I guess with the storebought flavored and sweetened kefir it may not be terrible, but the idea of mixing proper unsweetened, extremely tart kefir with coffee sounds terrible. I make my own though and it's more sour than like straight lime juice. Actually, strained out the whey before when making kefir cheese, then added lime juice and a bit of sugar and let it carbonate, was pretty fucking tastey. Anyway uh yeah, kefir + coffee is a no from me dawg.

>>18557037
I drink storebought but mine is also sour enough that I can't imagine combining it with coffee. It'd be like putting yogurt into coffee, except even worse (taste wise, yogurt has the added handicap of being very viscous).

>>18557017
>coffee machine in the bathroom
i dont believe you

>>18557023
let me guess, they have no idea that coffee isnt meant to taste like that.

>>18557059
i'll do it again if you push me hard enough

>>18557088
Probably yeah I mean I previously had no idea either. They just throw a bunch of milk and sugar in it and that's that.

>>18556934
In what way? From what I understand, the water is going to drip more slowly, so a coarser grind?

>>18555666
it's what you deserve

is it normal if i lose about 50 ml when i aim for 500 in a v60?

>>18557226
Of course. Those grounds and filter will hold some liquid.

does a lever count as a machine?
the flair makes espresso and it doesnt use a machine so i dont know why he would say no and then list moka and aeropress.

>>18557632
A lever is one of the fundamental simple machines.

>>18557632
If the baby faema was considered an espresso machine in the 60s I don't know why the flair and robot wouldn't be now.
http://www.francescoceccarelli.eu/m_faema_eng.htm

>>18557655
i dont think that matters in terms of the question asked.
if you showed a normie a flair 99% of people would not say it is a machine.
so it being "technically a machine" is a pointless distinction in real world usage of machine and espresso machine.
hoffmann knows this and i think his answer was extremely misleading.

>>18557681
Sure, but 99% of normies think the best espresso comes out of nespresso pods at 175f. What dipshits perceive isn't really a good metric to go by.

>>18557603
It's cheap grounds but it'll do.

>>18557712
>What dipshits perceive isn't really a good metric to go by.

girls my grinder got damaged and i won't have replacement parts for a week so i bought... supermarket preground coffee... the selection was so grim i tell ya...
they had everything from medium dark that tastes like almond chocolate to ultra dark that tastes like cherry chocolate

>>18558498
just ask for half drip coffee and half steamed milk

I finally ran out of coffee

Today I finally tried something I read on here a while back, I flipped my tabbed v60 filter and drawdown almost halved, from 4-4.5+ to 2.5minutes. Although the medium roast looked like a light roast when I opened it, so I can’t pin the subpar cup on the change. The tip was harder to flip and imperfect, and of course the side fold ended up inside. Anyone else tried and have more experience with this?

Finally someone brought the innovation of buttplugs to pourovers

Wait WHY DOES SIPHON COFFEE NEED ANAL BEADS?

>>18559272
nucleation point
the glass is too smooth and will superheat the water without it being able to properly percolate to the upper chamber.

>>18559278
I like ordering it as a theatre piece but on a certain level it almost feels like they're taking the piss

>>18559272
Gives the water a bunch of nucleation points. You need something for bubbles to form on so the water doesn't convert to steam all at once.

>>18558108
No idea.
I love boobies so much.

crazy how much flavor can change just by making the grind slightly coarser(or finer)
sour and bitter notes totally gone just from like a tiny adjustment.

>>18559282
Couldn't they just design a bumpy heating chamber?

>>18559419
>keep making big adjustments
>coffee is always equally shit

Why am I getting blind spots?

Is it worth buying a cheap grinder first and using it for a while before buying an expensive one or should I just go ahead and buy a mid tier or above grinder? I like drinking coffee but I probably won’t ever start obsessing over it. Currently brewing with a cheap gaggia espresso machine.

>>18559837
I did the cheap grinder (k1) then medium grinder (k5 on sale) and the difference is noticeable. Benefit of getting a cheap coffee grinder though is that you now have a good pepper/spice grinder when you upgrade.

>>18556369
I can't believe there are people that exist you can market extra caffeinated sumatran robusta 'Roastgiving' dark roast blend to.

my math might be a little off because i am retarded but im pretty sure thats right.

>>18562563
I like my kinu. You pick up a phoenix and the brew burr for the same price as a k-max. I think most people would go for the k-max if they were exclusively doing pourovers though.
https://kinugrinders.com/product/pour-over-replacement-burr/

>>18562630
How long have you been using your Kinu?

>>18562633
Bought it fall 2019, used it almost daily until may 2022 when I upgraded. Probably 70/30 espresso to pourover.

>>18562653
>until may 2022 when I upgraded
What did you get and why?

>>18562679
I got one of these because I wanted to compare an "endgame" grinder to what I had and it was available whereas I'd have had to wait another 6-12 months for a p64 or p100. Originally had a Weber Key preordered because I figured if I liked small traditional conical burrs I'd like big ones even more. This can run the same mazzer 83mms as the key + a bunch of other sets. I've got ditting lab sweet burrs in it right now.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CgmTucLlgyW/

>>18562710
I'm afraid to even ask how much that would cost. But I see why you did it.

>>18562721
$2600 all in after shipping and customs. The grinder the burrs are from was ~$3500 at the time and its a massive commercial grinder. I paid less for a way smaller grinder, got rpm control, better alignment, and way more options down the road.
https://youtu.be/JusnB2Zw4Vc?t=353
https://thewearycup.com/blog/review-of-the-ditting-807-lab-sweet

>>18562740
That's crazy. Sounds fantastic. I'm pretty jealous.

>>18562797
It makes pretty good coffee. But so does the kinu. I'm trying not to make any judgements until I put 100lbs through the burrs since they're meant for high volume commercial use. Hand grinder burrs are fine after about 5-10. If I had to make some real general comparisons between, the lab sweets have way more "focus" when it comes to bringing out individual flavors while still having a similar blending between the notes as the kinu. But softer? Kinu shots linger and coat my palate while sweets seem to finish cleaner and more distinct. Just about any grinder past a certain price point can be reasonably dialed in to make great coffee, but going from $199 to $2k+ seems to have just given me a 50x larger sweet spot to get tasty coffee. Its almost annoying. I liked fucking around autistically dialing in the kinu.

Can someone explain what burr "seasoning" actually does? Does it sharpen up the blades or what?

>>18562858
it doesnt do anything its a myth.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ut_nOrt53E

>>18562858
Evens out surface area and friction. For conicals any inconsistent roughness on the burr edges gets rolled over and polished out. What that actually does and how it affects the taste of your coffee is tbd but it does "something".
>During further sliding, all protrusions are gradually removed and a smooth surface is formed. As long as protrusions are present on the coating surface, the friction coefficient does not reach the steady-state. From the explanation described above, we can conclude that the rougher the coating is, the longer the time that is required to obtain the steady-state value of the friction. The period until a conformal sliding contact is formed is called the running-in phase. In this period we can expect a transition from mechanical wear-dominated friction to adhesion-dominated friction. The larger contact surface is reflected in a higher friction coefficient due to the higher adhesion component of the friction. It is also valid that as the contact area increases, the contact pressure decreases.

>>18562563
As someone who can’t wake up properly, ease of adjustment and crazy throughout of k-max is pretty great. I upgraded from random steel burr grinder, and flavors + clarity increased quite a bit. Maybe 0.3g of grinds get stuck around the burr opening in rim covering the burr opening, and I have to smack or brush the grinder each use to get them out (alternatively knock it out and toss it, because what get stuck tends to be fines and chaff). Slight annoyance but I never tried if RDT fixes it. Not sure about typical build quality because my unit was literally perfect, which is rare for anything. Didn’t consider kinu at the time, because I overwhelmingly saw c40 being memed and shilled hard at the time

>>18555285
Most people only have a cup o chino but I drink mine from a glass

>>18563456
>he doesnt know...

>>18555653
americano is my go to cup. milk changes the texture and flavor too much.

>>18562563
I do only pourovers. I have a K-plus. Same burrs, I guess. It's a beautifully clean cup compared to everything else I've used. So, also gonna say go with the 1zpresso for the v60. Buy once cry once.

Why does caffeine make my voice raspy and cause me to argue over politics for hours? I'm not usually like this...

>>18563912
https://youtu.be/Zd8vzIRQLLM?t=9

>>18563826
For me its the coof.

First time trying Yirgacheffe. At the same roast level as Voets it's not nearly as bitter, it has a very "warm" smell to it, there's more chaff and it seems to prefer a coarser grind

>>18564307
>it has a very "warm" smell to it
yes this is common.
at least for me. like i will touch the grounds but it will look and smell "warm" like it is radiating some kind of heat.
i have experienced this with many different types, mostly light roasts tho.

Ok, I'm thinking I'm going to experiment a bit with unroasted beans to see what effect it has. With a large sampler set, I hope to have the following variations to consider:
>pre-roast influences (untreated, soaked in ethanol and dried before roasting, soaked in flavored distilled spirits and dried before roasting)
>roast level (light, medium, dark)
>post-roast influences (control, soaked in neutral spirit and dried, soaked in flavored spirit and dried)
>storage (regular valved container, whiskey barrel, regular container with whole spices)
>brew method (pour over, percolation, immersion, espresso)
I would like any information or potential insight into this you may have if at all possible. I don't plan on not doing this.

>>18564398
thats alot of variables anon, you will need alot of green beans.

>>18564408
I know, I'll probably be roasting about 200g at a time since I'll only be making one cup of each method for each bean. With 81 conditions, that's 16200g of coffee (under 40lbs). I may do this in stages as I get funds for coffee.

>>18564417
Just order anything you find interesting 1lb at a time. I like Captain's for smaller orders and I'm probably going to pick up a royal crown jewel or two in the next year.

22lbs of burundi for 131 shipped(~$6 per) sounds ripe for experimentation.

>Our most frequently noted flavors include citrus fruits: lemon, lime, lemongrass, and lemon zest along with grapefruit, lemon tart, and lemonade all make appearances in cuppings and brew notes.

>But don’t expect this coffee to rely solely on that tiny citric slice of the flavor wheel to wow you. Its complexity hits you after that first sip: there’s a good amount of sugar browning in the flavor, from caramel to brown sugar the sweetness is rich, almost molasses-like. We picked up some dried fruit, as well, in the same sensory neighborhood: raisin, dried mango, dates, and prunes. There’s some black or oolong tea-type flavors, a uniquely Burundian flavor note in coffee, and plenty of hints at spice and florality including rose, clove, and chamomile.

Sounds like my type of coffee in normal circumstances. I do light-medium roasts, immersion and pour over, and I've found that somewhat bright but fermented flavors are nice. Not as much a fan of dark roasts generally, mostly because the cheap beans near me are virtually always bitter even when down to temp. I washed some the other day with kefir, and it worked nicely.

>>18564349
I also have some Yemen coffee and that stuff had a very grainy smell to it, like whole wheat bread

>>18564534
I'd pick it up but I've got way too many greens right now. I need to organize everything into beanconquerer this winter and burn through the stash in spring before I snag anything new. I just unfroze some of this for sipping this month. You'd love it.

>>18564575
I'll take a look at it. Do you know any roasters that might find that experimental setup worth investigating? I've heard coffee stored in old barrels picks up its flavors and aromas.

>>18563423
>>18563603
I'm leaning toward getting a K-max or K-plus. Especially considering how well it's built. I would get the Kinu, but it has to be the Classic, which is very expensive.
I should look into the second-hand market. These things are so well made that it's almost pointless getting them at full price, right?

>>18564443
how will you record the data.
and i assume you will post it here when complete.

>>18564532

Exact same grinder, but the k-plus has a knockoff weber blind tumbler as the catch cup. Dumb little gimmick probably not worth paying any extra for but some people like it.

>>18564803
Oh. Cool. Thanks for the heads up.

>>18564744
I will put them into an Excel file as a set of tables, organized by tags and each primary flavor element ranked on a 1-5 scale (acid, bitterness, sweetness) for visualization. Shorthand notes will also be in the file, but lengthier descriptions will be in a separate document, with each coffee being named systematically by variables (e.g., EMNVI for ethanol, medium roast, neutral post soak, valve containment, and immersion brew - naming scheme may be different in the file than this example).

Holy shit its so good.

Anyone have a manual espresso machine like the Flair 58? Do you like it or would you go automatic if you had to do it again?

I woke up this morning, made and drank two double espressos of a Ugandan natural with a very distinct, pleasantly funky tropical fruit note. Just took a shit an hour later and it absolutely reeked of that same note. What in the fuck happened to my plumbing?

>>18564976
Yes.
>>18565120
I've got a flair58. I might have looked for a scrap gaggia to mod if the gagguino stuff was as developed as it is now, but out of the box the flair88 is going to shit all over alot of more expensive machines in terms of versatility with recipes.

Nice cuppa

I got me some Ethiopia Adola, and now I am afraid of wasting good coffee with my shitty pour-over skills, but I guess it's the only way to develop them.

>>18566197
how i do it is
>feel like i am good at whatever new method or whatever i have been practicing recently using good but "cheap" beans
>decide to test myself
>buy really expensive beans and see how well i can perform
>if its way better than i know its my skill and the beans
>if it is a little better i know its probably just my beans and i have no skill
>if its worse i know my technique is total dogshit and i have fucked up in multiple areas
this has been working well for me, obviously there are a fucking shit ton of other variables. but this is good enough for just a test of skill
also buy the high quality beans from the same region/farm/country that you buy your normal beans also same process otherwise you could hate the coffee and think that its all you when if fact you did a good job but you just dont like those beans.

>>18566271
Good strategy, thanks.

I did the pour over, it turned out fine, but probably due to the coffee being tasty.

>>18566506
gotta think of beans with a level of potential.
like shit beans have a peak of goodness that is pretty low and at best can taste "ok/fine" but with good beans that goodness has a much greater peak, it has more potential that can only be exploited with adequate skill and knowledge.

>>18566271
What if the beans are just shit and overpriced?

>>18566554
dont buy overpriced and shit beans.

That's a fucking horrible handle. Also, fuck Comandante. I am so glad I went with the 1zpresso. The new version of the c40 has even more plastic parts and they axed almost all of the wood veneers–those are all plastic now, too–which were the only reason it got its luxury status. And now they're patent trolls for a completely unremarkable crank handle that exists on every handgrinder ever made? Jesus Christ.

what's the verdict on the Chemex?

Pretty much, cortados are the bomb. Steamed milk is vastly superior to frothed, no comparison. If drinking regular coffee, I take it black. Thought I was a child for putting milk and sugar in coffee, turns out cheap dark roast just tastes like shit and needs to be smothered. Freshly roasted and ground medium/light roasts are a revelation.

Why are you addressing this board as "girls" when it's nearly all men and "guys" is gender neutral
>>18559837
If you're brewing espresso with unpressurized baskets and actually want it to be good, you will need a 1zpresso Jxpro, or kingrinder k4 at minimum. Not much point to spending less, you will just want to buy a better one. I am satisfied with my k4 but almost wish I'd gotten a Jmax on sale for $160 because it's adjustments are twice as fine.
>>18566033
yeah same for food, it's just fuel so why even bother with seasoning or cooking it properly.

Anyway, I have a question I spent $140 on a kingrinder k4 for espresso earlier this year. It works great, rarely will I feel like I need an "in between" step but the espresso tastes great. However, the Jmax is now on sale for $160. Will I notice significant improvements in taste? Or will it just be more precise for dialing in? The magnetic cup and carrying case is also appealing for travel and convenience, perhaps I should spend my money on getting into roasting before making an incremental grinder upgrade..

>>18568931
Define significant. I think you'd be better off getting a k6 to complement the k4.

>>18568931
>Freshly roasted and ground medium/light roasts are a revelation.
Yes. I am glad I fucked around with coffee enough as a teenager to find that out. I like ristretto on light-medium roasts as a base for cappuccino and macchiato, though I haven't had enough to really have dialed in my tastes. Dirty chai is nice.

Money is no object to me /ctg/. Shill me your best/favorite espresso maker.

Buy a Hario mizudashi. Put coffee and water in it. Wait. About all there is to it.

That's interesting. I've come to similar conclusions in grocery store coffees. I think I recommended some of the same ones in his final round in a previous thread. Although: the Peet's Big Bang is a hit or miss. That one is kind of an ambitious blend for a mass-marketed coffee in that they're using some amount of specialty grade natural in it that is sometimes sweeter and fruitier. My guess is a Burundi. Haven't had grocery store coffee in years. Never had Tim Horton's, but Dunkin' Original blend is eminently drinkable. Anyway, I think this guy's palate is trustworthy.

>>18571042
Wait the best coffee was a bag from a second wave roaster they ground themselves on a P100. Astounding.

>>18571120
Well, you can get a lot of those coffees in whole bean at most grocery stores. And that does make a difference. But as a guide for people who run out of good coffee for whatever reason and have to find something drinkable at the grocery store, I think this video is very helpful. Like you're in the middle of nowhere with only a grocery store or a walmart, the mail was slow, it's late afternoon on a holiday and almost everything is closed, etc.

>>18571139
And I don't know if Tim Horton's sells bags of coffee in their store, but I know Dunkin does. And a lot of these doughnut shops off the highway are open 24 hours. So. You're in BFE and it's 3am? Go get a bag of coffee from there.

>>18571139
>>18571154
So its for people who are suffering from a lack of preparedness, and want to punish themselves for weeks afterwards? Astounding.

>>18571154
They do. Personally I grab Kicking Horse when I run out and I'm at the grocery store. I think it's the only light roast I ever found in a grocery store.

>>18571160
Yep, or traveling or shit happens. Knowledge is power. Also agree that the Veranda blend from Starbucks is the least shitty one they have.
