2 cups a day is the most basic shit ever. No one gives a shit. You can’t even form an addiction drinking 2 cups everyday for years straight. Teehee I’m so quirky that I drink orange juice… EVERY DAY!! Teehee

>>19540831
A washed Indonesian coffee from a local roaster
I ground too coarse and the brew happened too fast. Also going by the taste even from this messed up brew the roast profile is nothing like described
It's the roastiest coffee I've had in a long time and it's not even supposed to be a dark roast

>>19540825
The new areopress is made of Tritan, safest plastic to ever exist

>>19540850
>ground too coarse
alright. its easier to grind too fine then too coarse id say. when its coarse u just go oh shit looks too coarse. when its fine its still looks fine. idk. maybe its because ive been drinking instant coffee for more than a year so i know what coarse looks like.

>>19540894
They've been made out of Tritan for years. It still leeches like a mother fucker.

>>19541026
Link to the Aeropress tests please

>>19541039
unironically this, I want to see the studies for my own information

>>19541039
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4063249/
>Colorless Tritan™ bottles or Tritan™ bottles of colors other than green often exhibited leaching of chemicals with EA

>>19540630
I bough a dosing ring and wdt tool for I think $4 total off of ali. I want a nice tamper once I get a proper one though, so I'll probably be buying that elsewhere.

>>19541074
I don't see where they tested the Aeropress?

>>19541120
They're testing materials, not memes. Plastic leaches. Exposure to any uv makes it leach more. Don't be the retard using decade old tubes or nalgene bottles. They're not heirlooms, they're cheap extruded plastic. Replace it every few years. AP has gone through so many revisions because every material they've used has been horrible for you. Bpa plastic, polypropylene and now various tritan blends.
>Our data showed that some (4/14) unstressed and stressed BPA-free thermoplastic resins leached chemicals having significant levels of EA, including one polystyrene (PS), and three Tritan™ resins, the latter reportedly EA-free. Exposure to UV radiation in natural sunlight resulted in an increased release of EA from Tritan™ resins. Triphenyl-phosphate (TPP), an additive used to manufacture some thermoplastic resins such as Tritan™, exhibited EA in both MCF-7 and BG1Luc assays.

>>19541239

>>Colorless Tritan™ bottles or Tritan™ bottles of colors other than green often exhibited leaching of chemicals with EA
Seems pretty well supported.
>>19541241
Plastic v60s aren't $40 and have been widely available in nonplastic materials for decades?

I've been coffee free for 5 days now

>>19540321
it can be, just like wine tasting, maintaining a lawn or collecting rocks

>>19541241
For the record you should also be replacing your plastic v60 every couple years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styrene-acrylonitrile_resin

>>19541257
And yet no study to support that this specific blend leaches. Curious.

>>19541285
>why has noone done a study on this product that released last week
Give it a few years and an aeropress revision or two. Until then enjoy the free estrogen and bpa.

>>19541311
Previous iteration has been out for how long? But you're still coming up empty-handed? Slink away, little fella.

>>19541330
The polypropylene one? Known testosterone blocker. I just can't quite figure out why they'd have to keep changing materials. Its your God given right to transition. No one can take that from you.

need this in my life

floral cuppy for floral washed abyssinian. complementary chocc for max hedonism.
life could be worse.

Just started getting into making good coffee the proper way. I got a sample pack of beans from the local roaster. One of them was a natural-process Ethiopian. That was a very interesting cup because, for the first time, i actually got the "fruitiness". It wasn't just sour, it tasted complex like fruit, and a little astringent like tea. I actually didnt enjoy it very much because i dont associate that flavor profile with coffee (or hot drinks in general). Should i try grinding it finer to get different notes?

Also interesting was that, of the cups i brewed, that one alone had very little foam or floating particulates. It must be an older roast then, right?

>>19541026
>It still leeches like a mother fucker.
do you have to lab results to prove it or are you just schizing?

>>19541976
ummm anon, you do know about the cadmium levels in dark chocolate dont you?

>>19542401
how did you brew
what grinder
was there a roast date on the bag?
how dark are the beans

>>19542420
30/500 gram ratio, ground in a Baratza encore. I just brewed them in a cup, skimming the top after 4 minutes and letting cool for 5 minutes. No roast date, and theyre fairly light, maybe a very light medium.

>>19542440
>No roast date
awful

>>19542468
Yeah, i had heard theres supposed to be a roast date on good beans. The company said they had roasted one of the bags the day it was shipped, so i assumed they were sending generally fresh beans.

>>19542416
please elaborate

>>19542494
its something that is so easy to do that when it isnt done i just assume that they are hiding something from me

>>19542743
>not him
hi its me :)
yes i was mostly concern trolling but it is something that dark chocolate enjoyers should be aware of.
>Lindt Excellence Dark Chocolate 70% Cocoa, 48% lead, 116% cadmium.
i assume if those are the numbers for 70% than 90% would have even higher concentrations of heavy metals.
also if you live a healthy life and only eat it in small(the high the % the lower the weekly consumption should be) quantities, you should be fine.

Using a cheap electric grinder. Should I get a burr grinder or is it a meme?

>>19542817
>cheap electric grinder.

So is this glass Aeropress coming out or not?

>>19542817
I just upgraded recently. The biggest difference so far is that there is no such thing as sour + bitter. Theres sour coffee, theres bitter coffee, but im not getting that nasty combo of both like in unevenly blade ground coffee.

>>19543317
will keep that in mind

My roaster serves v60, but it's 10$ for a full cup and an extra $ for single origin. Is 11$ too much for a cup of coffee? It is pretty good..
Also Peru is best origin, it tastes just right.

>>19543323

>>19543324
considering specialty coffee can often cost $100/kg and commodity coffee will often cost $10/kg
$11 is fine.

>>19543384
Yeah? But a cappuccino is only 4$ for only a little less volume. Is v60 really so special?
I get why they're charging so much though, it takes time to make it and they have other people coming they need to do espresso sampling for. There's usually only one person working the counter.
Also their most expensive stuff is only like 50$ per kg. It's not that premium of a place even though it is very nice

>>19543396
>But a cappuccino is only 4$
same store same beans?
also yes v60 simply takes longer.
like whats the fastest you can make a v60 vs a cappuccino
max like 30s for the espresso, and another 30s for the milk?
also on those huge machines you can set up multiple espresso at once.
for v60 you gotta sit there and wait and focus on it the whole time.
hoffmann takes 2 minutes to make a 1 cup v60(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbXbcQEFPOU))
others might think im wrong and i could be but a v60 being more expensive makes sense to me.

>>19540414
I use 11 grams in a 1 cup french press

>>19543416
>same store same beans?
Yeah I think so. Don't really remember if they also ask an extra dollar for the specialty stuff.

I should get me a v60 setup. The stuff it makes is so substantial and there's a whole large ass cup of it. Americano could never compare.
Getting a non plastic gooseneck seems like a pain though. Have to order from abroad and such

>>19543441
you can get a metal stove top gooseneck kettle for pretty cheap no?

>>19543463
I guess so. I was thinking more electric with adjustable temperature. The temperature thing is useful also for proofing yeast for baking.
My old one broke so I need a new one with no plastic parts touching the water

>>19543473
Ah nevermind. Seems like they make stovetops with thermometers. That's actually an option. Not very expensive either..

so is 85 better in terms of cadmium ROI?

>>19542838
Imagine you can only use a blender on high to process your onions. What good is onion purée on a burger, salsa, soup, to be pickled, stirr fry, to caramelize? Grinder to beans and precise control over grind size is like getting what you need for different purposes/beans, it makes a huge difference. Worth it if you drink often and care about the taste, otherwise not really if you gulp it down and treat it like medicine. It’s value dependent, I know some people who literally don’t care whether they eat McDonald’s or Michelin starred restaurants, it’s just sustenance to them.. they can tell one is better, but they just don’t care

>>19544899

>>19546652
Very true. Anyone can taste the difference.
I wonder how it compares with basic drip machines though. I've never had drip machine coffee

Don't they both involve pouring water on top of grounds on top of filter? Human pouring in a circle with gooseneck kettle is just that much more betterer for extraction than machine then?

>>19546783
Human pouring hot water in circle>machine pissing warm water in one spot. Some machines are better than others in this regard, but the price will reflect that.

>>19546783
Books have been written on this belief. Do not research further, your instinct is correct and these people are esoteric ritualists

>>19546783
Cheap coffee machines tend to have very uneven temperatures. They also lack bloom but eh unless they're too fast then I have my doubts. If you want max extraction just do an immersion brew. If you don't like french press because it's not paper filtered, try a steep and release or just do an Aeropress.

Started my last Caffelab coffee, this one is the Aramo Kebele from Ethiopia and it’s a specialty.

Funnily, I left this one for last because I didn’t like the chinotto citrusy notes and I thought I would have hated it, however I made it yesterday and wow I was amazed by the sharp complexity and structure of this goffee.

The smell when you grind it and when the moka is on the stove is full floreal and you can smell the chinotto too, when you take a sip the first flavour is chinotto, which is a touch butter, followed by a sweet Jasmin floreal note that rebalances the mouth, I guess that there’s honey too within the floreal notes spectrum I feel, then there’s a third layer of “classic coffee” flavours of malt and nuts.

It begins fruity, it quickly becomes floreal and sweet and then it changes again and ends as a nice coffee with persistent finish that stays in your mouth.

Notes: with the reducer on 1 cup (7 grams circa 70 ml water in the reserve) the cup is a bit stronger than what I would like for this coffee, but still good and enjoyable, I may want to grind coarser to slow the extraction, then with the full 3 cups capacity the coffee is perfectly balanced @ 1.8.1 on the JX Pro.

I definitely recommend Caffelab, they’re good.

https://caffelab.com/ethiopia-aramo-kebele/

What can I expect if I switch from paper filter to metal filter?

>>19547573
More fines in the coffee, a bit more cleaning up afterwards. Try a french press, metal pourover is strictly worse

>>19547577
I'm an aeropressfag

>>19547564
Go back.

>>19547580
All the more reason to take my advice

>>19547573
With the Aeropress?

As the other anon said, essentially more fines but a lot more body and oils, which is the reason why you would want to switch from paper to metal (it’s worth it 100%).

The cleanup is simple, I just take the metal filter (I use a Prismo) and wash it with hot water then I add a drop of dish soap on it and with my finger (no need for a sponge) I wash it and make foam then rinse under hot water. It takes 30 seconds, it’s not a problem at all and the filter stays clean and unclogged always.

As for the fines, you have to play with agitation/steeping time to find the right extraction, however I found that with mine everything under 1.6.0 on my JX pro makes a lot of fines, it also depends on how you press because if the puck is perfectly formed then you’ll have very little fines but if it’s not formed and broken when you remove the plunge then you’ll have more fines. I guess that it comes down to how much pressure you exercise on the plunge.

So, if you have the Aeropress buy the Prismo and avoid other mesh filters.

>dusty coffee, and not from the same brew
Ok grease boy

red pill me on Turkish coffee

>>19547913
super fine ground, the bottom is a sludge
it's a novelty, not something I'd be making at home

>>19547890
what a celestial goffee

>>19547916
but what is the taste profile like compared to regular goffee?

>>19547913
cute

>>19547913
Delicious when done right. Also probably has the highest caffeine content of any brewing method by a long shot so, enjoy it in moderation.

As someone who's had an aeropress filter split on them.. it's coffee. And it's everywhere.
0/10 would not recommend

I think I've come to the conclusion that all coffee from Burundi is just bad. It's the Sumatra of Africa.

>>19539979
Anyone got the updated grinder sheet? Buying one for my sister; she has a tiny moka pot

>>19541976
What brand dark choc? Lots have too much cadmium and lead hombre

>>19548492
Just about any bur grinder will do the job for a moka pot.
Kingrinder K4 is probably the best bang for your buck though.

>>19548515
Related to that: looking back at the guide, it's a little out of date even for the grinders on it.
The K4 had it's burrs upgraded and now has the same burrs as the K6 (and titanium coated).

Before I spend 100 bucks on a Flair Neo, is it better than an Aeropress?

>>19548505
that was lindt 90. dark choco & caramelo-choco goffees is where i'm at.

>>19548555
Where are you reading that? It's always been the ti coated jxpro burr while the k6 is the uncoated kmax burr.

>>19548790
Maybe I'm misremembering.
I thought I saw in in a video review where all the burrs were placed side-by-side.
I'll have to go look for it in my history.

>>19548802
K3 and k4 use the same coated jx burr. K5 and k6 use the same uncoated kmax burr. K3 and K5 use the same internal adjustment body, k4 and k6 use the same external adjustment body.

im hella bad at latte art
i can only do basic shit like hearts and leaves after like 6 months and im terrible at pushing

>>19548737
Yes, if your goal is making actual espresso.

>>19547057
It objectively gives you a more even extraction.

Ever been in a mood where espresso tastes too fancy and you just dump pic rel into a cup with a sugar cube?
Am I just depressed?

6 months ago I spent 2k on a gaming PC that will be 'obsolete' in 5 years.
I am now having a hard time justifying a 1.5k espresso setup that should last me a lifetime

>>19548998
And you’re right anon, because you can get good espresso with half that money.
Most people ITT are insufferable Reddit tier faggots who buy overkill machines and grinders while lying to you that the 1500$ grinder makes better tasting coffee that the 700$ grinder while in reality the difference is so low that 98% of the people wouldn’t even notice it.

Just buy a random Lelit Anna with PID with either a hand grinder (1Zpresso J max) or an Eureka Mignon Zero and you’re solid + golden.

>>19548991

>>19549201
>eurekas are dogshit fwiw.
please elaborate

>>19549201
So get the hand grinder and save a lot of money.
The Lelit Anna is possibly the best entry level machine you can buy if you pick the one with the PID.

>>19548751
is Lavazza sugar better than supermarket sugar?

>>19549207
Incredibly high fines, bimodal italian flats with shitty adjustment and high retention. The motor isn't sealed off from the burrs, so if you add a bellows on top you're just puffing coffee directly into your motor.
>>19549209
Why in the fuck would you ever buy a machine that uses a "proprietary" 57mm portafilter?

>>19549251
>Why in the fuck would you ever buy a machine that uses a "proprietary" 57mm portafilter?

Because every gadget you need is available in 57mm and you don’t need anything more than a proper tamper, a distributor tool, an universal WDT tool and that’s it.

The coffee tastes the same as the 58mm.

>>19549293
It really doesn't, but just keep telling yourself that. Baskets matter. A truncated low flow 57mm ims will give you very different coffee than a 58mm pullman 876.

>>19549348
You don’t need these, just buy a 57mm Ascaso 14 gr basket and you’re where it’s at.

>>19549365

>>19549348
>will give you very different coffee
can you identify the cup?

>>19549368
Back to r/Espresso

>>19549375
Between my decent, ims, pullman and pcl? Yes. Decent and ims are way closer to each other than the other two. Not the fairest comparison because the decent is the only one I have in 10g, so I've dropped the dose in the others. Pullman+paper filters is close to pcl 2200 hole but I've really been liking the coffee off the pcl more. The pcl cone is very different than the pcl billet I have. Its all preference, but there are differences and going with a dumb basket diameter limits your options. Some people swear by the $5 low flow ridgeless 14g.

>>19547902

if anyone wants a zero there is no reason not to get a duo.
its only slightly more expensive.
its a steal if you think about it.

>>19547913

extremely intense
probably the highest potential out of all brewing methods to give you a ""high""

>>19549462
I don't mean this as a gotcha but you are a person who owns multiple espresso machines and so are presumably way more invested in coffee than probably anybody else in this thread, and you're saying you would only be confident telling the difference between at 57mm and 58mm cup in comparison to the four machines you're intimately familiar with. I expect a middling coffee autistic like me would probably not get much of the benefit from the difference.

>>19549518
It’s not glitter, it’s the cadmium dust from the timemore grinder internals and burrs

>owns multiple espresso machines
Baskets anon. Baskets. I don't mean this as a gotcha but you should understand what we're talking about before posting. There are psychos out there with $2000+ of baskets sitting on their bench. I parse through their opinions and try shit for myself. If you don't think different flow rates(at the same dose and grind size) make different coffee, I don't think you'll get much benefit from anything.

>>19549698
nice baskets
do you like the E&B Lab baskets? :3
do you like jammy goffee

>>19549698
which one works on the aeropress

>>19549698
O B S E S S E D

>>19549698
I'm not arguing that different flow rates make different coffee, I am arguing that the difference in flow rate between a 57mm and a 58mm basket is not gonna be a big perceptible different compared to all the other factors that go into pulling a shot. It's perceptible to you because you're incredibly into the minutiae of optimizing your espresso but there are so many other bigger variables for somebody getting into it.

>>19549717
>>19549728
Not my picture or notes, don't have any e&b just an unlabeled 18g(?) ims from flair. IMS is getting into the varied density baskets though. Just launched the Big Bang. Low flow from the hole count + weird spacing to "counter" donut extractions.
>do you like jammy goffee
I don't mind a bit of texture/blending, but the flavor I'm getting off of (essentially) a fancy high flow basket+paper filters is incredible. I'm not sure what I should be looking at to get "better" than this pcl 2200. Its basically the same exact tapering as a pullman, but with ~3x the holes.
>>19549723
54mm.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1G5Kj9cYZ4

>>19540414
11 g is exactly what I dose for my aeropress. Immerse for 2:30 and plunge

>>19549755
>I am arguing that the difference in flow rate between a 57mm and a 58mm basket
You'd be surprised. My point is there's zero fucking reason to lock yourself into a nonstandard portafilter size on an appliance you're planning on using for years, other than saving a few bucks. And if you need to save a few bucks, you probably shouldn't be dumping money into espresso. If you want a "nonstandard" cheap entry point, a 54mm bambino has way wider availability in the accessory market and Breville owns Lelit anyway.

>>19540061
you sound a little high strung, might want to lay off the coffee for a bit.

>Pour over winning

>>19548998
I have a Safe Barista Express which was about £500 (not sure what that works out to in freedom bucks)
I think for home use this is fine, it's only if you're operating a cafe that you need to go into the thousands of dollars, they're just not designed to last as long with fewer replaceable parts.
I have a friend that runs a burger van / coffee truck and uses one of these, and it broke on him. Turns out that the part the portafilter clamps on to is made out of plastic, and after 10 coffees a day for 2 years, the plastic completely wore away and wasn't a replaceable part. You wouldn't get this on a thousand pound espresso machine, but equally, would you make that quantity of coffee at home?

Oh look wafo has a 51mm adapter for some of their new deep baskets. What a world.

How do I deep clean a coffee maker?

>>19550836
run diluted vinegar through to remove hard water deposits in the water lines
baking soda and scrubbing removes visible coffee stains on metal and glassware
soapy water and rinsing for everything else

>>19550842
Can't I just run water through it?

>>19550851
You asked how to *deep clean* it, I'm telling you how to deep clean it.
If you wanna half-ass clean it, sure. I'm not your mother.

>>19550851
no
it got dirty from water "just running through it"

>>19550042
French press gang
Real men enjoy that oil

>>19550851
The minerals in the water is what made it dirty.

>>19547564
Ok fuckers you triggered my hypochondria with the comments to this post.
I sometimes make moka coffee too and it happens to me too that the coffee looks like that, maybe less oily but wft.
Why does that happen? Lately my cholesterol levels exceeded the safety level despite changing nothing in my diet and now I fear that it's the coffee. Bros I don't want to stop drinking coffee, it's the only hobby that's keeping me sane.

help

>>19551407
use a paper filter instead of a metal filter.
paper filters the oils out, metal lets the oil through.
also the oil from coffee is so small i cant imagine it tipping the scales and giving you high cholesterol.

>>19551425
But isn't that a lot in that picture above? It happened to me too, what happens if I drink 3 cups of that oil every day?

>>19551426
no its just the light.
i drink moka every day and i never looks like that.
also he might have stirred it alot before taking the pic.
like if you put 1 drop of oil into a cup of water(coffee) and then shake it up and then take a picture with the flash on its probably going to look like that.

>>19540367

Ok anon, thanks.
I will try later and post here to see what happens if I try.

Hi /ctg/ I don't drink coffee but I do backpacking and like to carry the lightest possible equipment. This is my current set up. Known limitations:

>>19551541
>My question for you though, is how to talk to girls?
I walk up to the counter and say "blended ice coffee, extra shot" and wait for them to tell me the price & let me pay.

>good afternoon milady would you care for a hit on my crack pipe

>>19551407
It’s unconfirmed what causes the observed effect on cholesterol, some studies say it’s oil but other theorize it’s the silt or the ultra fines since some studies found filtered coffee different. There’s not enough data, but you could try filtering your coffee and see if your numbers change in a couple months

>>19551550

Coffee is not a hobby

>>19551560
I started taking cholesterol eating supplements, just this week, so it won't be helpful if I modify two variables at once.

I will try filtering the greasier coffees :(

Cafestol is confirmed to raise cholesterol and it can be removed by a paper filter. Just say you don't know anything and fuck off.

No it isn't. It's linked, but not known to be the primary cause.
