Get a french press and check youtube for the hoffman french press method

>>19324234
Iunno man who cares.
"Want to get into coffee" bro don't worry about the plastics, you're already gay.
But yes, it makes a fine cup of coffee.

Ceramic Hario V60, glass Chemex or glass Bodum.

modern aeropress platic won't cause you harm, get a glass french press instead if you're paranoid

Buy a French press and a cheap burr grinder, and make sure you get dark roast coffee beans

There you go, coffee that's exponentially better than any shit you'll ever get at Starbucks

>BPA """""""""""free"""""""""""
they just use BPB which is the same thing
STOP USING PLASTICS!

>>19324234
Pic related is very difficult to fuck up and very handy if you just want one cup.
French press when I have to make many cups but I use the James Hoffmann method.

The most important is to get some good "speciality" coffee and use good water.

Get a plunger you dense cunt.

>>19325187
>make sure you get dark roast coffee beans
explain. why is medium roast no ok? that seems more popular too

>>19324234
i like an aeropress with the Fellow brand 'prismo' pressure cap. makes a decent cup of faux-spresso.
30g coffee, 100g water ~208F, stir 30 sec and plunge.

>>19325604
holy fuck, how much clean up do you do for a cup of coffee?

>>19325537
he’s being retarded, get whatever roast level you prefer. I like lighter roasts but to each their own. if you’re going through the trouble of grinding your own beans then be sure to check roast dates and try to buy beans roasted in the last month or two. things to consider when buying beans are roast level, freshness, and region of origin.

>>19324234
Caring about plastics when the rest of your coffee rig is made in China and your beans come from literal slave labor is peak clown world shit.

V60 or bust

>>19324234
Glass aeropress coming later this year.

You’re clearly too stupid to brew coffee, which leaves you two options: instant coffee, or chewing up and eating whole coffee beans, which isn’t actually as bad as it sounds,

I like to melt chocolate and cover them with that and crushed up pistachios and sometimes cardamon.

>>19326827
Can't wait til some retard exsanguinates himself shattering this directly into his wrist.

>>19326900
It really grinds my gears when people say “cardamon”. I bet you say “Chipolte”, too.

Come home white man.

>>19326925
I don't say chipotle, I say you're a fucking nigger and it's a jalapeno.

>>19326943
Why, yes, I always drink coffee while I'm watching radar.

>>19324234
don't waste your time on pourovers and aeropresses.
just get a good milk frother and stick to instant until you can afford a proper machine.
or get a hario cold brew pot.

>>19325187
>get dark roast
>better than any shit you'll ever get at Starbucks
motherfucker, buying over roasted coffee will always result in starbucks tier trash
never buy 'dark roast', that burnt shit's only good for compost.

>>19327156
>don't waste your time on cooking, get a jar of mayonnaise and stick to microwave meals until you can afford a personal chef

>>19324234
Aeropress is fine in my book, if you want to avoid plastic you've got v60s and french presses. The latter is simpler and with a v60 it's nice to also have a gooseneck kettle which drives up the total cost, so I'd probably recommend the french press.
Also if you're tempted to go for a cheap entry level grinder DO NOT buy hario ones. They're dogshit and not worth the price.

But my fucking aeropress in food grade plastic that doesn't leech hormone disruptions in any meaningful degree must get ye gone?

Like people have any choice other than their local tap water? Do you take a tank labelled "coffee water only" and drive to designated "good" drinking water springs to fill up?

Now you're just taking the piss.

Nope

Nope

Congratulations on giving up.

>harmful plastics doesn't get inside the body unless I lick it
Blissful ignorance.

>>19328032
You think that’s real wax in the waxed paper?

>>19328059
>he doesn't wax his own paper

>>19328053
How is plastic I never touch or ingest going to get inside my body? I'm not saying I have zero plastic intake but I do what's possible in fucked circumstances.
>>19328059
Easy to tell the difference.

Reminder the "microplastic found in the bloodstream of cave dwelling creatures at the center of the earth" stories are a demoralisation tactic so you give up on avoiding plastic

>>19328127
You can make up whatever you like as long as it "makes sense to you" without any source of the contrary.

>>19327977
>BASF has deposited $.02 into your account

>>19328127
>>19328179
Who is driving this narrative that its binary? You either microplastic or you dont (not possible)?

Like level of exposure doednt matter at all so dont try to limit the amount of plastic

>>19324234
Just buy instant coffee.

>>19324234
>do not want to splurge fucktillions of € on an espresso machine
you don't have to. something like a delongui ec685 makes perfectly good espresso. using a pressurized basket removes the need to buy an expensive grinder. if you don't want watered down coffee, espresso is the only way to go, don't listen to the snobs that tell you that it is impossible to make espresso without spending thousands, 99% of them wouldn't pass a double blind test.

>>19327983
You don't have a water filter in your home?

>>19328487
The coffee you make is only good for an enema

>>19325288
I refuse to believe I have to Google some fucking guys name to make decent coffee

>espresso
Aerorpress makes God tier espresso if you're strong enough to squeeze it out. I actually just keep a rubber mallet nat my coffee station so I can load it up and give it a hard wallop. Best espresso I ever had

>>19328917

>>19328600
yes, but according to coffee snobs filtered water is not good enough, it must have the precise mineralization to make good coffee.
then again, snobs are retarded by definition, so why would anybody listen to them.

>>19328618
i have no doubt that you have plenty of experience with enemas

>>19324234
>>shit's made of plastic
so?
Are you a brainlet?

>>19330156
Simple chemistry. If you're not happy with your coffee, tweak your water. Good drinking water doesn't always make good coffee.

>>19324234
The water you'll use for it already has plastic so it doesn't really matter.
