pissing out my ass

I caved and bought a brewler...

Is there any way to get a coffee taste without that buzzy awake feeling afterwards? Decafinated I can't drink.

>>19021645

>>19021652
>Decafinated I can't drink
why
just get decaf from a good roaster

>>19021652
I know someone who gets buzzed all night on a sip of coffee, but I can down cups before bed without too much trouble. Sometimes its just a genetics thing.

>>19021516
Moka good

Just received my 18-cup moka pot in the mail today.
I’m genuinely somewhat in awe of the size of this thing.
Can’t wait to have some friends over so I can put it to use.

>>19021848
Wait is that an actual functional thing? They have that at the roaster place I use and I always thought it's just a decoration piece

Is Moka a real alternative to espresso?

Already tried espresso and I liked it, but never tried Moka.

>>19021891
it's a different thing but it's pretty good
takes some practice and skill too

>>19021860
Oh yes, it's fully functional and makes nearly a liter of moka in one go.
I believe it's the largest moka pot that Bialetti makes.

>>19021965
How many grams is a full filter basket? You should make a webm of it making a liter of coffee. Might be neat

>>19021981
I haven't weighed it out yet, but I can already tell it's more than I'm willing to hand grind.
Based on a typical moka pot ratio of 1:8 though, I'd guess it holds 90-100g of grounds in the basket.
I'll definitely record a video when I get the chance to make a test batch.

>>19021906
Are moka pot brews of lighter roasts worthwhile, or is that something I should just reserve for my french press?

>>19022033
I've never had much luck with light roasts in a moka pot.
Even the lighter end of medium is a bit dicey for me.
I honestly had no idea how sour coffee could be until I fucked up a light roast in my moka pot.
Like, I'm taking straight lemon juice, that's how underextracted it was.

Moka pots really shine with a medium-dark to dark roast, and can deliver a very strong but smooth cup of coffee.

>>19021981
>How many grams is a full filter basket
depends on the coffee.
moka fills by volume not by weight, which is determined by the bean and where it came from, how it was processed and how it was roasted.
and of course grind size which can vary based on the filter being used.
sadly E&B Lab does not make a 18 cup moka pot filter.

would be interesting to see how much it would cost to get one custom machined.

>>19022106
i did a light roast panama geisha in my moka early last year and it took a couple tries to get it right but it was extremely good.
a few months after that i tried a ethiopian yirgacheffe ultra light and man that was a bitch to dial in.
swear i went through almost the whole bag just to get a half way decent cup, but it was a fun experience trying to push a moka so far out of its comfort zone.

>>19022136
>sadly E&B Lab does not make a 18 cup moka pot filter
Indeed. One good thing about the 18-cup is that the filter and gasket are the same size as the 12-cup.
Unfortunately, they don't make a 12-cup filter either.
Given the relative simplicity of the part though, I wonder if would be possible make one using one of those desktop PCB mills.

>>19022156
Do you mind sharing your technique?
I was grinding nearly espresso fine and starting with hot water for maximum extraction, but the best I could get still tasted a little woody.

>>19022176
>technique
well honestly i just built up my technique from watching both wired gourmet moka voodoo series and james hoffmann moka series and doing a kind of hybrid.
and then just idk, with moka i feel like so much of it is just this feeling you get when something is right, like how with michelin star chefs they probably dont need to weigh or measure alot of things anymore because they just know that something is right.

im just using the E&B Lab 6 cup moka for reference.
sadly im a dumb fuck that doesnt take notes of what i do.
one thing i do remember though is on my final brew of the bag i had i'd say about 3/4 of the basket maybe 1/2 of the basket of coffee(reminder E&B Lab 6 cup moka has a slightly larger basket than bialetti 6 cup) and just said fuck it and brewed anyway and made sure i went really slow(making sure to not stall it), because in the past i had found that under filling the basket made the brew faster(when keeping other parameters the same) and often under extracted the coffee. and this seemed to work pretty well, very light, very "high" and "bright" flavors, no acidity at all which was very surprising for this kind of brew.
i was happy i got to taste such an interesting cup and such an incredible bag. but also sad that i would not be able to buy another of this coffee for some time, i dont have $800 to spend of coffee every week.

it is a shame you are using electric, you dont have the same temp control as with gas.
and temp control + time management are super important for consistently great moka.
well anyway, excited to see more of that monster moka :).

I'm glad the goffee collective agreed that filtering the oils from the cuppa is a nono.
Started the day with a presso. 18 in 36 out in 27s. Medium roast. Life is gud.

>>19023062
oh and she is promoting the wrong way to make moka which means her fans will follow her video and make bad coffee and give the moka pot a worse reputation than it already has.

Can we have the webms of the cute lesbian barista please?

>>19022331
Thank you for sharing.
That actually lines up with my experience, although I never got such good results.
Underfilling the filter basket definitely helps with underextraction, but if you grid too fine it also dramatically increases the chances of channeling.
Maybe a filter basket reducer would help.

Also, I agree about the electric. Only so much you can do in an apartment though.
Usually turn the stove on a little bit before I want to get brewing so it has time to get to temperature, which lessens the impact of the coil cycling on and off.

>>19023094
i have never had a problem with grind size since i first got my grinder and first dialed it in to the right size.
my grinder cant really go espresso grind anyway so i dont worry about that, but im pretty sure my burrs are out of alignment which is probably creating some unwanted fines.

and for dialing in i bought fresh roasted pre-ground specifically for moka and then every time i adjusted the setting on my grinder i compared it to the pre ground and then once i got in range started to actually brew at that size which really sped up the process alot.
having a visual reference in those situations is a life saver.

i have been trying to save up for a new grinder + manual espresso machine(havent decided which one, the 9barista and the flair 85 both look really nice) but i have had a series of problems that need fixing so im not sure if i will be able to get it this year.
like in the movie up, they keep trying to save for a vacation to paradise falls but then they have to fix the roof and all the other stuff

Besides a refractometer, ph tester how can i measure the extraction? Is there an IBU for goffee?

>>19023093
Here you go bruz

What is the lowest amount of coffee you would do a v60 with? Personally using April's method with 10g and it tastes quite good

>>19023183
I think you just have to go by weight in, weight out, time, and taste.

>>19023432
Ive been doing 10/170s on origami and switch.

>>19023482
The weight is obvious but taste is a sketchy way to measure.
What i'm talking about is an objective way to say if this meme method is better or worse.
Say if method A gives 9/11 and method B gives 2/11 you then blind taste both techniques. Technique A should be the bomb if the notation scale is proper and with the blind test one should always prefer it.
For now the whole scene looks like adiophoolery and their meme tricks.

>>19023818
bags of what?

>>19023825
Not really, if it’s gets any worse I’ll just punch my ticket out.
Coffee related: for some reason whenever I buy more expensive beans from a local roaster I find I have to use a courser grind in order to get a decent run through my espresso machine, with cheaper supermarket beans I can grind finer and tamp harder and honestly it’s a better coffee. Can anyone tell me why this is? I can’t think of a logical reason why older beans can handle a finer grind.

why is everyone who makes coffee androgynous?

>>19023825
who the actual fuck is this woman and why is she so attractive

i keep seeing her everywhere

It is my observation that turkish coffee uses the least ammount of coffee/cup
It is my understanding that turkish coffee was brought to Istanbul by Syrian traders in 1555.
It is my recollection that Syria is the semite epicenter.
I have not yet come to any conclusions.

Interesting about the beans, I’m going to do some googling and see what I can find. I’m tired of wasting more than half a £8 bag of beans trying to ‘dial it in’ before I can get something drinkable.

Have one last Morgan. Ask yourself if you would have wasted a bag of beans to dial it in if you had not seen all these goffee memes or if you've been influenced.
Look how ethiopians prepare their goffee. Absolute opposite of everything that's been peddled online, yet i'm sure it tastes incredible.
Therapy is a meme. Everybody copes. Find what you're coping for and better it. The seething is optional. Something other than uncle ted to make you think http://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/epicench.html

i'm excited for the gesha, haven't had one in a few months.

Decided to change up my water after soliciting advice a few threads back. Bought some big glass jugs and some of those gay third wave water packets because the cost is low and it keeps things consistent. One packet per gallon was too much, 1/2 packet per gallon of RO water worked great. Big, noticeable improvement in flavor of coffee, which means it's mandatory for the rest of my life. This has pushed the hedonic treadmill way along, I think I'll be able to coast off of this improvement for months before I have to fuck around with more variables.

Did you forget to take your meds again today cablebro?

>>19024150
I generally don’t get influenced online, this is the first time I’m posting in coffee general. I occasionally buy locally roasted beans but I drink too much to afford it more than once a month or so, so it’s annoying that when I do pay extra I always feel like I’m getting less (because I’m fucking it up)and the whole process frustrates me. However, I take your point about different prep methods, maybe I’ll get a mocha pot or an aero press or something to mix it up and see if I can do better than my Sage espresso.

Also, jokes on you, I’m a fag that crushes on girls and I’m already gay married.

This afternoon I went to my local roaster and bought their (((nespresso))) capsules for my parents and grandparents, also for a change I bought 250 gr of freshly roasted coffee beans 70% arabica 30% robusta from the same blend they serve at the bar and had everything grinded for the moka.

It was good bros, however the lack of crema from coffee made using the moka really is soulless.
I know I can fiddle with sugar and a spoon to make artificial crema but it’s not the same.

Bruz basketball coffee anon >>19024231 here was saying that he has in the past tasted real espresso at 9 bar, but the cup he drank lacked crema, wich implies he is not getting to pressure. Furthermore he mentions his awarness for the fake crema in the moka pot but is aware of the illusion.
He essentially is telling us that his basketball coffee was brewed in a moka pot, that he is aware that the moka pot doesn't go to 9bars hence the lack of crema experienced in the cup. He laments his lack of espresso machine despite enjoying his cuppa. Moka is based but not espresso.
Estropress is a meme. it's a estroV902 basically a filter coffe as the plunger does fuckall to create any usefull pressure no different than a syringe. Also you estromaxx with it.

What is your go-to tiramisu recipe? I was thinking of trying it after finding my perfect coffee.

>>19024802
Wait another 6 months for the hoff to finish his tiramisu series

Oh speaking of recipes, Biscottinon are you still around? I saved that recipe you posted months ago and can't fucking find it now.

>>19024802
This is the original top tier recipe from the place that invented it.

https://youtu.be/V9uApXYaWs4

Enable subs.

Also, I had a dream where I imagined something that I would call 3 coffee tiramisù, which is a gourmet tiramisù that I would sell at my Michelin star awarded restaurant.

Picture this: some faggy design pretentious ceramic dish, there are 3 identical squares of tiramisù with some random garnishment of sorts and decorations.

So, a normal tiramisù then? No.

The savoiardi in each square of tiramisù are soaked in a different coffee, one is a light roast, the other is medium roast and the last one a dark roast, each tiramisu with its specific coffee would enhance a note, either chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, nuts and whatever.

I will ask 35€ for this and people will eagerly pay me this ridiculous amount of money for it.

Does the coffee really matter that much in terms of quality? People keep giving me pre ground and a nigga can only use so much cold brew.

>>19024150
how do ethiopians prepare their coffee?

>>19024873
Do you end up having to make a stronger brew? The original is chilled in the fridge overnight.

>>19023873
too much aeropresso

>>19025193
Nope, just make a normal moka and you’re good.
Then, if you want to experiment further instead of making a big casserole of tiramisu, split it in 3-4 different containers and for each container use a different coffee or a stronger brew to dip the savoiardi in, so you’ll end with 4 tiramisu with the same recipe but different coffee profiles if this works as intended.

I have completed my first brew with the MegaMoka.
It turned out pretty good, actually, which is a good thing because I have 850ml of it to drink now.
Fully loaded, the basket weighed in at 65g of coffee grounds.
Thermal management was definitely a little different. It took like 10 minutes before I had any flow, and it started sputtering more than I would like halfway through, so I'll need to work on the technique a bit.

Anyways, here's a video of it in action.

>>19026082
That's a 1.5L french press, btw, to help you picture the scale of this thing.

>>19026082
yeah that's the most annoying thing with the moka pot, getting it consistent... it's pretty much impossible if you bounce around between different types of coffee
it's why I just bit the bullet and got a machine

>>19026082
that grind looks a bit too fine
also please tell me im wrong but it looks like you did not put boiling water in the base?
and yeh that sputtering was nightmarish.

thanks for the video :)

>>19026195
Looks like he filled from a plastic brita.

>>19026211
what a waste.
also it could be just the size of the moka(and from using cold water) but those beans are not fresh enough, just look at the total lack of (i dont know if this is the correct word in this situation but it feels weird just calling it foam) crema at the start of the brew.
like i have beans roasted from 3 weeks ago that i grind fresh every morning (i ran out of my premium beans a bit early and had to get some from a cafe in town) and there is a ton of thick beautiful crema coming out of the funnel from start to finish. but in this video its just this black liquid almost the entire time, it looks like coke that has been left out with the top off for a couple days.

>>19026082
Not enough coffee. You need to ensure a seal to get pressure.

French press vs Moka pot
which one tastes better ?

>>19026746
Moka pot.
But french press is less of a hassle overall.

>>19026746
Brew a french press, then use the coffee to fill the moka pot instead of water and brew a moka.

Yeah, I agree. It's actually Bustelo.
I wanted something cheap to test with, but I thought it would be funny in the video to show how many grinders-full it would take to fill it.

>you did not put boiling water in the base
Correct. I find dark roasts usually wind up overextracted if I do that.

>>19026434
Like I said, it was just Bustelo.
Once I'm actually confident with the MegaMoka, I'll start actually using good beans.

Im so fucked up

Is there a way to get a larger collector for my K6?
I sometimes have to grind more than 35g of coffee when I make a larger amount with my Chemex. It would be nice if I could measure the beans, and then add them gradually to the top without having to empty the bottom. Seems like a dumb oversight to make it exactly the same size as the top bean holder.

>>19027078
>This was a pointless purchase
it's to upgrade the grind quality, not reset it to some initial state, no?
did you give it a try and brew some coffee?

>>19027455
Yeah I meant the outer burr specifically was unnecessary. the inner one is different and supposedly an upgrade. Pic related a protip to unscrew the old burr without damaging it

Is the felicity arc good? I want to upgrade from my weightman because the 1kg limit is hindering me.

Thx anon. Got this lil fucker out now, here you can see the different burr shape

>>19027476
oh yeah, it's good to have on hand though. I think those tabbed things are designed to fail first, sometimes breaking and throwing off alignment

>>19027476
Oh and Im afraid im gonna have to blueball you on the results. I got him seated and it grinds completely differently than before. I used to grind my drip on 10 or 11, and even 24 seems slightly too fine. Pretty sure this thing could grind espresso now.

Ive had 2 cups but its not dialed in yet to where I can confidently speak about the results, you are gonna have to wait a couple of days for that. Ill post again when I have tested thoroughly, I promise.

It grinds faster and sounds more healthy than the normal shrill encore gind noise but jury still out on the amount of fines

>>19027562

This was pointless all it does is give me a wildly different grind range, while being faster and less shrill.

>>19027781
Quick question. Why do you think they sell flat burrs in pairs?

I'm about to buy a french press and my first bag of a normal coffee, I've been drinking instnat shite until now. What do I get? I used to drink like 2.5 tsp of instant coffee, black. I'm seeing plenty of Lavazza coffee, which one should I get?

don't go the aeropress route. you'll be a faggot within the year, unless you're into that.
Stick to the french press, and look for local roasters in your area, or look up craft roasters that will mail you beans.

>>19028027
Bought a french press, some shitty grinder I'll probably upgrade sometime later and pic related, they had it on sale for 12 eurobucks . I already have a digital scale. Can't be worse than drinking that instant Jacobs shite I was drinking until now.

Fuck third wave expensive shit.

>>19024639
Sad that slurping so many pussy juice makes girls fat.

so is putting spices in coffee a meme for old ladies? just a way to make shitty coffee less shit?
i tried cloves and allspice with a blend im just trying to get rid of and just a single clove wasnt bad

>>19029267
may as well just add a shot of alcohol and call it a cocktail

>>19029267
you're making coffee, not soup. good coffee doesn't need herbs and spices. in fact no coffee needs herbs and spices. if the coffee is so bad that you need to mask how bad it is then it isn't worth drinking.

>>19029287
i mean good coffee arguably doesnt need anything but people still put stuff in it

>>19029294
that doesn't make it right

Why is French press coffee I make always too bitter regardless of the grind size, water heat, steep time or type of bean?

>>19029287
>>19029306
Oh, go be a snob somewhere else.
Coffee is good on it's own, but it also pairs well with spices, and sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.
Cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cacao are all traditional spices to add to coffee.

>Cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cacao are all traditional spices to add to coffee.
that's why people have a cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, or cacao pastry/doughnut with their coffee. but the spice doesn't go IN the coffee. it should only compliment the coffee.

you are, of course, permitted to dunk your cinnamon doughnut into your coffee.

>>19030443

That's right, Ethiopia.
Lots of goods are named after their port of origin, rather than their actual geographic origin.

>>19030577
are you seriously this retarded?

obviously you are if you can't make a decent cup of coffee. you need to put a fuckton of herbs and spices in it just to try and mask how shitty it is. it must suck being you.

>>19030577
but in this case the variation of coffee called a "mocha" coffee is named after it's place of origin. a town named mocha in yemen. i've already told you this but it doesn't seem to be sinking in. do you have a learning disability?

>>19030584
>No actual argument, just resorts to name calling.
I bet my coffee isn't half as bitter as you are.

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.

how about you eyeball the weight of your commingled low-altitude low-grade beans, roast them unevenly in a pan over a fire, grind them with a rock, and make cowboy coffee
bro it's the way people have been doing it for thousands of years, you can't expect anything better or have any standards

>>19028619
Man I wonder what he thinks of this place now

>>19030190
I use a JX Pro for espresso in a Picopresso when I'm away, and occasionally at home when I'm running two beans at once etc. It's genuinely not bad. You might find that the steps aren't fine enough to dial in but varying the dose by about 0.2g after you've got the grind as close as you can usually gets me sorted out. 16.5-17g of medium roast for espresso usually takes me about 35-45 seconds.

>>19027562
Delicious brew this morning, but worth the hassle? ...maybe, if you like tinkering like me, but id be hard pressed to say this is a needed or even recommended upgrade

>>19030894
didnt you say it was $12?
sounds pretty cheap.
you could replace them every year.
sounds like a bargain.

>>19031006
Total coat with shipping was like 60€, the outer burr was 12 yes. But when judging the results I was thinking bore about the effort involved to source the parts and take apart the machine. Burrs dont need to be replaced every year, I wasnt replacing a worn part, I was changing to a different style of burr

>>19027536
>>19031012
Waterbrain here. So pic rel is normal and not wear?

>>19031070
do you really think beans could get such an even wear on all sides, with a machine like surface?

>>19031070
Yeah the one you marked is stock encore and supposed to look like that. The replacement burr is different and supposedly more capable

>>19031079
Because im slow i thought the was trying to grind for turkish or stale espresso and the burrs touched at the top. The burrs looked similar at first glance except for the points of the hexagram. Almost all burrs i've seen, granted i haven't seen many, had points like the left burr hence my shit presumption. I'm slow but not to enough the point of thinking it was beans.

>>19031081
Thanks anon. Enjoy your rejuvenated grinder.

>>19031070
i kinda wonder with how chipped the top of the burr is, where do the metallic pieces go? probably just went in with the coffee grounds one day

Aeropress is an incomplete product.

>>19031208
What is it missing?

>>19031213
What the prismo adds. You can get by with the inverted method but the paper filter is a bit finicky when tightening the cap. Can be fixed with a metal filter holding down the paper though.

What is the best method for using a french press?

How much coffee (in grams) do you drink per day?

Can somebody recommend a good recipe for french presses?
Not entirely convinced of Hoffmann's method.

>>19031470
coffee in
heat water, throw it in
stir it
wait a bit less than five minutes
poke all the floating crap so it sinks to the bottom
let shit settle and then plunge
plunge*
pour

*On plunging:
If you jam the plunger right into the grounds you'll stir up fines and it'll end up in your cup.
If you don't plunge far enough you end up with a bunch of water trapped between the plunger and the grounds. Too much of it and toward the end of your pour the seal will break and it'll evacuate kicking up a whole lot of fines and they'll all end up in your cup. So you want to really gently get very close to the bed of grounds without hitting it to get the sweet spot.

Start with like 16g for a one cup french french press (you're throwing like 350ml of water in).

>>19030888
It hasn't really changed much from the moment he left.

Bros what the fuck? The guy said caramel flavour which I can taste on the aftertaste, but the main flavour is mould. Did I fall for the artisan roaster meme? He said he roasted it yesterday.

>>19031785
>he fell for the third wave coffee meme
Shggydiggy

>>19031785
it could be the prep or it could be the beenz -once you get into specialty blends you can find some pretty weird flavors that are wildly different from what you might expect from your regular starbucks or folgers. Try a different brewing method and if you still don't like it give a few other blends a chance before you make up your mind completely.

>>19031785
>house blend
aka shit they picked up off the floor.
also for fucks sake give us more details on how you made the coffee

i bought some coffee a while back that was some fermented anaerobic natural process light roast.

tasted like the smell of the loo at music festival at the end of the day.
took 1 sip and poured the rest out and dumped the bag.
never again.

>>19031819
yea that sounds like ass but i've had coffee that tasted like fruit juice and some that's tasted like hazelnuts. Same with a lot of tea some of the most expensive pu-ehr tastes like mildew so not everything is for everyone you just gotta find what you like .

I WILL NOT BE SCHIZOED BY YOU

>>19031802
Hmm ok I’ll try Hoffmanns french press method next and see what happens.

>>19031806
Good point. He had the lil roaster spinning away at the back of his shop so he obviously does it himself but now I think about it you’re probably right about him roasting it ages ago. The beans don’t look mouldy though.
I weighed out 13 grams and ground them fine-ish I guess in my tmore c3. Then brewed it with my cheap ‘espresso’ machine. The beans I get from Lidl taste fine using that method.

>>19031880
some beans just taste weird.
i wouldn't write off all specialty coffee from this experience.

my favorite beans are ones my mum and sister hate the smell of.
different strokes and all that.

>>19030190
>I just got a machine and I'm wondering how much finer I should go on my grinder settings
Depends on how many bars of pressure your machine puts out. If it's 9, the standard espresso, you should be fine. If its more than 10 bars of pressure, you'll need to go finer.

>Which is better flat or conical burr grinder?
Generally speaking, flat burrs are more consistent and more expensive. Depending on the model, they can also be noisy and, unless there is good ventilation, heat up quickly. In contrast, most conical burrs are quieter, cooler, and cheaper, but less consistent.12 May 2020

Tried a Rwandan for the first time today. When it hit my lips the first thing I thought of was curry for some reason. This is fucking wild

>>19034308
I kept your reply in mind when doing today's brew and kept note of everything I do in quantifiable terms.
1) Here's a picture of my grounds, at 80 clicks in my k4 which is same as I did yesterday on my first post.
2) I use 120 ml as per the manual that came with the pot, hot from the tap since I live by a lake and the water tastes good straight from the tap. It was 150 F (65.5 C) coming off of the tap.
3) Screwed it and placed it on medium heat, yesterday I set it on my stove's "6" but today I went back to my baseline of "7", idk how to measure that but it's basically one setting under "high".
4) I pull it out at the first loud whistle. I usually just pour it immediately rather than pour cold water on the boiler bc I figure that's faster. I thought you'd criticize that so I poured cold water over the boiler today, it felt longer than me pouring it immediately.
5) The final yield was 60 ml, with 10-15 of foam on top. So 120 ml in, 60 ml out. That's what it usually is always.

The end result was very intense in the cup but very mellow and tasty in my usual latte. I like sipping it first to find how I did and then add the milk to drink it slowly during the morning. Yesterday it tasted harsh and burnt even after the milk.

This is how it looked once it cooled down and I put it apart for cleaning. Does it mean it channeled? I'm a tastelet and a noob so it's entirely possible I ruined the brew I outlined above, and can't tell.

>>19036883
Rinse it with coffee and let it season.

>>19037131
bro that pic is making my head spin.
feels like one of those optical illusions where the picture moves.
first off i am assuming you are using a bialetti style filter.
that looks a bit too coarse to me.
>I use 120 ml as per the manual
the ml doesnt matter as long as it touches the bottom of the pressure release valve no more no less.
of course it is good to measure water anyway but i wouldn't just go off a specific ml.
>(65.5 C) coming off of the tap.
better than cold but not good enough, it needs to be straight off the boil for optimal results.

are you using an electric or gas stove, sorry but those numbers dont mean anything to me.
and yes gas vs electric/induction does matter.
>I pull it out at the first loud whistle
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
no no no.
a perfect moka brew should be totally silent.
no spurts, no gurgles, and absolutely no fucking whistling
>The final yield was 60 ml
given everything i have just read this is the most surprising part. that seems really really low.
you are using a standard 6 cup moka pot correct?
wait...
>whistle
>foam on top
please for the love of fuck dont tell me you are using one of those dogshit Moka Brikka

>>19037580

sorry i didnt see this picture when i was replying.
if you are curious about how the puck performed you should tap it out onto a plate or something and use a knife to gently take it apart and touch the different sections to see if some are wetter than others, this can give you some insight on if you have channeling or not.
maybe its just the light or the beans or something but it looks like it is dryer on the side closest to the camera.

Yeah, it's a brikka. I got it bc it brews at a slightly higher pressure than the normal model. I'll try going a bit finer.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that too.

im not a fan of his off and on approach to temp control but with an electric you dont have much choice.
also its good to look at the message and not exactly the content of the videos.
he can do some weird stuff with his techniques.
