My cousin custom printed me a mug for Christmas a few years ago. It's not a particularly high quality mug, and it's the kind of cheap printing you'd get at a shopping mall, but I still love it. The second I notice the printing start to fade, I'll stop using it, but still keep it around to keep pens in or something.

>>18804679
wish I could put my aeropress over it

Over Christmas, my cousin-in-law (is that a thing people say?) introduced me to a Mexican drink called a "carajillo." It's a shot of espresso shaken with ice and a shot of something called Licor 43, which tastes of citrus and vanilla. It was amazing.

>>18804721
You can if you have the Everywhere rather than the Move

>>18804624

Is it possible to fuck up your aeropress chamber? I'm paranoid about making the bottom of the chamber wider by applying stupids amount of pressure during my retard(er) days of using super fine coffee out of a blade grinder.

Hoff hasn't served coffee in over a decade. Fellating him won't change the fact that he wouldn't come close to placing in a wbc today. Eckroth would embarrass that poof.

>>18807107
Yes I use the scoop, but not to measure. Just to transfer the beans to my grinder. I don't follow a recipe either. My cups end up being roughly a 1:10 ratio. As in 30 grams coffee to 300 ml water. I've ordered a scale so I can start messing with recipes for fun.

>>18808008
You're missing out.

Put a lil nip of wt101 in this gesha. Life's good.

I had 6g of beans left at the end of a bag, not enough to make a pour over, so I ground them, threw them in my Hario Switch, and made them with my usual recipe, just scaled down to 100g of water. It came out really good! It actually brought out more of the tasting notes than when I used the V60, which was stronger on the fruity notes but less on the Earl Grey notes that are supposed to be present. That's one thing I like about the Switch, you can use the same recipe for a wide range of doses and coffee types and still get good results. That probably applies to other immersion brewing methods as well. Another time I did this with only 3g of a different bag of coffee, and that came out good too.

What do you do when you get to the end of a bag?

I have a 5lbs bag of beans to go through.
Should I freeze or refridgerate it after opening?

>>18808697
Split it into 2-week portions and freeze the portions you aren't immediately using.
Never refrigerate and never re-freeze

>>18808697
Vacuum and Cut for your daily dose, if you use 200gr/week make 12 vacuum bag and freeze your beans do not use refrigerator

I freeze my beans in mason jars though, not in the bag it comes in.

It's great if the only heat source you have is a microwave/kettle, but I don't get the whole travelling brew kit thing, when I'm travelling I can't be fucked bringing all that shit with me. Imagine getting to a place after a long journey and opening your luggage only to find that your ziplock bag of beans burst open because you are such a routinetard that you need the same coffee every single day.

>>18809330
You are dumb. I travel across the country for work. For weeks on end. All year. Every year. If I don't bring coffee, I would still be drinking the "same coffee" every trip I take. Except instead of freshly roasted beans, properly brewed, it'll be gas station coffee, and hotel coffee. Think outside of your own little head for once.

Has anyone here made a Cuban espresso/cafecito Cubano? I'm visiting my dad and want to make him one. I've seen two methods of preparation, and I'm wondering which of the two would be better. I've seen one method where you add the brown sugar directly into the portafilter basket, but I don't know how the added volume of sugar is going to affect extraction time and pressure, etc. I've also seen one where you let the shot pre-infuse, and use stir those first few errant drops with the sugar, then just pull the shot normally on top of that.

it costs like $5 for even cheap bad coffee at any cafe.
$2 for coffee made at home made from high quality beans is pretty cheap.

Way too much coffee and way too cool brew temp. Terrible post you fucking idiot
Drop the coffee by 5g and up the brew temp by 10c

How do I make coffee taste good

Adding cream and sugar seems like its hit/miss half the time and never really makes the coffee taste good to the point I'd actually want to get up and get another cup just because it tasted so good and not because I'm addicted to this crap

>>18813763
i am comparing to grocery store prices
i dont know if the taste difference is $1/cup better

>>18813780
for $26 a bag yes i would say it is better than store trash.
well as long as you are provided with as much information as possible
farmer
location
varietal
region
height it was grown at
how it was processed
when it was roasted
how it was roasted
these are the basics, if a seller cant provide these then they aren't worth buying from.
also anything past medium dark at the very most is not worth 1 cent.

but if you aren't going to brew the coffee properly then dont even bother, just stick to whatever swill you are drinking now and live in blissful ignorance.

>>18813794
how would that information help
im looking at the "tasting notes" which i think are bullshit desu
there's no way a cup of coffee is going to taste like candied orange and tootsie rolls - this is just marketing mumbo jumbo

>>18813778
For one stop drinking garbage. That includes any mass market preground coffee and anything instant.
But before any of that, you either enjoy the taste of coffee or you don't. Why are you trying to force yourself to like something when you clearly don't. If you're going to keep adding sugar and cream, just drink any coffee, because honestly it doesn't matter - all you're ever going to taste is sugar and cream anyway. Or just drink a fucking red bull, since you seem to just want coffee for a sweet caffeine fix.

>>18813807
you are correct
tasting notes (for the most part) are 100% total bullshit.
and mostly just bait noobs.
but the list of information i made is useful at the high end of coffee hobbyists.
like sure its from ethiopia but where specifically
ok its from this region but what town
ok its from this town but what farm
usually this is where most people stop but at the absolute top(hundreds of dollars per bag) knowing the exact plots on the farm that the farmers only grow x specific variety can be important.

back on topic
some beans can taste like the tasting notes.
such as medium-medium dark natural process.
nuts, raisins, mulled wine, dried fruit peels are pretty common and distinct flavors for something like burundi natural process.
some high level light roast ethiopians can taste like floral teas.
all assuming you grind and brew correctly.

>>18813763
That's just irresponsible spending
Just because coffee prices are absurd at a shop doesn't mean you should spend a similar but slightly less absurd amount simply because it's cheaper than drinking coffee at a shop
If you've been drinking specialty coffee for any length of time you should know as well as anyone there's plenty of great beans easily at $5-10/250g.
You're just justifying spending more money than you should be to yourself

ah- ah- ah- wait, just one minute!

>>18813861
sorry but im just not interested in what poors think thats all.
$20 a week for my hobby is pretty cheap.

i think it says more about your personal finances that you think that is expensive.

>>18813890
>that 1 bag is the cheapest thing i buy each week.
huh

>>18813890
I don't care how much you may claim to make and it's irrelevant to the discussion. The point is you spend $20 a week on something when most people spend no more than $30 a month on. You should do even a basic TVM calculation to understand how much money you are spending over a few years.

>>18813778
Don't listen to retards like >>18813852
Coffee will never taste good, you always have to hide the flavor with something else if you want it to be palatable, or else you trick yourself into thinking you enjoy bitter garbage

salt and milk hide bitter flavors, sugar, anise, and vanilla make it drinkable

>>18813899

yeh thats worth it.
mind you i dont care about caffeine at all.
i dont drink coffee for the drugs effects on me like others do.
so unless i gain enjoyment from
researching coffee
buying coffee
receiving coffee
thinking about coffee
grinding coffee
brewing coffee
tasting coffee
drinking coffee
then it is worthless to me.
so yeh less than 1k ish per year is not even worth consuming at all for me.
and cheap $5-10 coffee doesnt do any of the above.

>>18813917
perhaps i misworded.
im not saying im dont buy any single item under $20

if you buy from a good roaster who sources good green coffee, it most definitely is way better. there are some coffees that are $5+ per cup better. i didnt try the rare ones for forever because i didnt want to go down that rabbit hole, but some are definitely worth the price to me.

UPDATE:

Is home roast difficult?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BueGN72iTDQ

>>18815553
Depends on what you're trying to use. Direct heat like in a skillet is very difficult to keep from scorching the surface of your beans. Fluid bed roasters like popcorn poppers and Freshroasts are significantly easier, but have trouble maintaining heat if you're going for darker roasts. Drums are a better option for that. People have been "dogbowl" roasting for years.Cheap heat gun pointed at a stainless steel dog bowl and some external way to agitate the beans, but the more control you have the better off you'll be.

How to make coffee with this shit?

I got a flair and with even just the smallest amount of effort I can make better espresso than pretty much any cafe near me. I don't think I am that good I just now realize now that most baristas just dont give a shit about quality.

>>18815739
They're buying cheap "house blends" that fade into milk drinks and trying to serve as many customers per hour as possible. You're fucking around in your kitchen with whatever beans you want to source. I bet you can cook a better steak than any restaurant in your city too. They're not serving coffee because they want to, its just a job pal.

do any of you guys use a little pot to do pourover? like a pot with a little pouring lip on it...or transfer from a pot to a pyrex and pour over that way?

i can't find a kettle that I like and i'm not paying like 180 dollars for some masterwork kettle

>>18815778

>>18815823
>$60 for a fucking kettle

or i can use the pyrex i have now?..

>>18815831
How much heat are you losing from transferring from a pot to pyrex? Are you heatsoaking the glass before hand or microwaving water in it? If $60 is going to bankrupt you, you should probably just cut out coffee altogether. You don't need it.

>>18815939
not enough to matter

contrary to what you think this isn't about hitting every bean with the exact 1 degree temperature of water. that's regarded as faggot shit regardless of what the hobby is

>iF iT's NoT NuMerIcAlLy PeRFeCT iT'S RuInEd

autism faggot shit. if you can't answer the question don't respond.

>>18815948

nta but the answer is no. nobody uses a little pot to do a pourover because for most people, spending $60 on a kitchen tool that they will use every day for years and years is perfectly normal and routine. the other anon is correct, if this purchase represents a hardship then your life is already fucked beyond repair and no amount of coffee will improve it.

>>18815967

>>18815979

>>18815948

Is a $20 thermometer out of the budget too?
>if you can't answer the question don't respond.
You bitched about a $180 kettle. I gave you a solid option for 1/3rd that. Enjoy your 80c brews pal. If they were good, you wouldn't be asking 4chan for advice, you'd just be drinking them.

>>18816022
I have a $110 thermoresistor thermometer. You don't?
how can you even make coffee? are you sure your 112 is really 112? it's probably 108 or something

*scoffs loudly*

>entered the coffee enthusiast thread
>get a coffee enthusiast answer
>complain when you heard something you didn't want to
>justify yourself with something completely unrelated
so anyways, I went back to that place with the "Aeropress $MP" on the menu and asked what the hell was up with that. Apparently it's some kind of weekly rotation but the price fluctuates just enough that they just put $MP instead of like $4-6 or whatever

>>18816039
there's a huge difference between enthusiast and faggot

since you're like 23 and grappling for an identity, you readily cross the line without being aware where it is

normal people are able to adapt to situations and do things in different ways

once again, if you don't have a $110 thermoresistor thermometer, how can you even make coffee?...

>>18816050
you clearly care enough about justifying yourself to online people you don't know for some reason that you're making a show of it dude, maybe get that checked out

>>18816050

lmao the projection
>muh floooooooooooooooooors

>>18816037
I've got a javelin pro duo. I'd buy a $110 thermoresistor thermometer but I'm saving up for wood floors.
>are you sure your 112 is really 112? it's probably 108 or something
Just say you don't know what you're talking about and move on. I bet everyone is really impressed with those floors while you fumble with a lukewarm pyrex measuring cup to serve them costco beans.

>I have a house goddamit I can't afford a kettle.
:^D
If the budget is so tight should you be buying expensive home upgrades?

come to think of it, I could build my own thermoresistor thermometer for like $10. heat probe, thermocouple, arduino. calibrate manually, boom done.

Anyone manage to snag a p64 on the prima restock today?

>>18815739
a barista is just someone who knows how to operate an espresso machine, steam milk and make whatever milk drink is on the menu.
they use grocery store dark roast with no roast date on it(who knows how long its been sitting in that bag)
i think you would have to at least double their wage for any of them to care about making actually good coffee.
but that would make your average coffee like $6 or more
also at home you are making coffee like 2-3 times a day?
they are making dozens an hour.

>>18816050
>$110 thermoresistor thermometer
i have a $9 kitchen thermometer that tells me when my milk reaches 60c so i can make milk drinks :)

i like the concept of the aeropress
but putting hot water into a plastic container leaching of chemicals doesnt feel right to me

>>18816322
https://www.artisansmith.com.au/search?q=artisan+press

>>18816322
you dont know anything about anything.
maybe look into the specific plastic they use and find out how stable it is and how it interacts with boiling water before you wet your pants crying about "muh microplastics"

>>18816375
The issue isn't just microplastics retard, you are leeching chemicals into your water every time you use plastic, which have numerous effects on the body, most notably interrupting hormonal balance. And it doesn't matter what temperature you are doing this at and what kind of plastic it is, even PET bottles at room temperature are shown to leech into water after enough time.
Drink whatever kind of coffee you want, but if you are using a piece of shit $0.50 plastic tube to brew your coffee in, you have no right to complain when you have a medical issue 35 years from now and can never complain about s oy again.

>A difference in Bio-EEQ could be detected between the bottles and the tree plastic types used
in the study. The polypropylene (PP) bottle gave the highest Bio-EEQ of 0.5 pg/ml, whereas
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) gave 0.3 pg/ml and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
0.04 pg/ml. These results indicate that there is a small leakage of estrogenic substances from
the plastic bottles. Further study is needed to determine whether or not the estrogenic activity
in the water could have any significant biological effect in humans.
https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:749485/FULLTEXT02
If you're going to use plastic that is known and documented to leach estrogenic substances, just replace it once a year bitchtits. $30. Its not like you're saving for wood floors or anything.

No waiting needed buddy!

>>18816484
Just like the guy freaking out about cadmium, its probably not going to be what kills you. But why the fuck would you subject yourself to it if you don't have to. I've said for years aeropress is great for the physically/developmentally disabled, travel, and for college kids to use for a semester or two then throw away. Other than those very specific scenarios, you're probably better off with something else.

>>18816491

nta but I don't think there's anything wrong with being reluctant to subject yourself to a totally experimental gene therapy, regardless of any other external consideration. if there are side effects they may show up twenty years from now, or in a generation. we're off the map.

>>18816510
so you don't have anything? odd

>>18816513
>if there are side effects they may show up twenty years from now, or in a generation
Also nta but I've been a crazy conspiracy anon for years. Population wise we're fucked, like idiocracy. You don't curb birthrates overnight. Females and others with vaginas were all complaining about their periods getting fucked up after vaxxing so we're all probably going to be spawning "randomly" infertile kids for a couple generations.

how many is enough until you say yep its not experimental anymore? because it passed the tests. it was tested privately and it passed every test and was greenlit for use on the public and then tested for a year until i got it.
still not good enough right?
no less than 5billion human test subjects and 50 years of trials before you think its safe?

no
luckily 1 tiny prick in my arm and a few days of feeling under the weather does not impact my life at all but it helps with the health and security of my family and my local community and if everyone in my country gets it it allows for my country to prosper. meaning better lives for all my fellow countrymen.
if the only way to get vaccinated against covid is to eat dogshit i would say fuck it we all going to die i guess.
also thats usually not how science works.
like penicillin is made from mold and everyone is 100% of with being injected with it, but if you were told to go lick some mold on the wall you would tell them to fuck off.
so if there was some benifit from eating dogshit scientists would analyze it and find exactly what chemical was helpful, throw away the rest and then synthesize it in a lab and then create medicine out of it.

Barista here, AMA. Lately at work I've been making hot chocolate with espresso shots to keep me comfy. Our machine is a discontinued Aurelia from Italy, it's pretty nice but in need of some maintenance. Since this is America our most popular latte flavor is the brown sugar + caramel syrup. I can tell when a fatty comes in exactly where they're going to get.

Presslets sure are strange people.

Is supermarket coffee ground too fine for V60?

>>18816406
2010-2013 gang

>>18817010
yes
it also should not be used for espresso even tho it probably says it is ground for espresso.
they shoot for a all rounder grind that isnt actually good for any method.
some cheaper espresso machines come with "pressurised" portafilters to help brew this one size fits all grocery store grind but still usually fails.

>>18816700
you are bad at your job and deserve less.

>>18808288
Silliness. If the end of the bag is under 20g I just make a bigger last cup.

For me its the wuri grade 0 nat.

How fine do I want my V60 grind compared to say, FP? I'm experimenting with some supermarket beans in a new hand grinder. The "default" setting the MFC recommended as a baseline looks like espresso-fine so I'm just halving the grind setting down until I get to something bigger.

>>18818636
Don't worry it's a term of endearment, bean boy.
Anyway nutmeg in coffee is good because beans (coffe) and nuts (nutmeg) go well together. They're more efficient too.

>>18818574
Need good water chemistry too. Heavily alkaline water can be great for drinking, but absolutely neuters any acidity in coffee. You can test it yourself brewing some coffee with your normal water and some with a bit of bicarbonate added in. It's amazing how many shops have bad water. Especially around here where the tap water is excellent for drinking so shops try to get away with just a filter, but do nothing to address the the heavy bicarb we get from being a largely limestone area so they end up with muted coffee.

>>18816455
Maybe actually read the study retard. They put heated water for 72 hrs. You have no idea now much plastic is leeched in a 30 second brew on an aeropress. You probably get contaminated more from handling receipts or just getting every food out there that’s all wrapped in plastic. Your clothes if polyester is plastic. All metal in the brew path is good practice, but guess what… everything is aluminum nowadays which is a heavy metal which fucks your brain. If you do t have a science or research degree, do the world a favor and never interpret studies

>>18818658

I buy distilled water and add potassium bicarbonate for espresso so I don't need to deal with scale.

Is there an instant coffee brand that properly captures the slightly burnt/bitter flavor of espresso? I've tried a bunch of instant Nescafe products and they're all weirdly sweet & don't have any burnt taste.

Oh... turning up the number on the hand grinder makes the grind coarser... whoops.
