Yeah it was a lazy bump and yeah it's a shitty spoon
>>19565601
I agree

Anyone know if the Varia VS3 is any good?

>>19565622
I've heard the first version has a shitty gearbox so they self destruct as the gears strip. V2 has a full stainless gearbox but I'd still give it a few months to see how they hold up.

Unpopular coffee opinions:
Sumatra is better than Ethiopia for beans
If espresso isn’t your favorite way to drink coffee, you don’t actually like coffee
Cold brew is fine, it’s an almost insignificant drop in quality for increased convenience

>>19565788
>Cold brew is fine
yes, cold brew is "fine". but going from a great coffee to a fine cold brew is a significant drop in quality.

>>19565788
Pourover I feel like is the purest form of consumption.
I love espresso and it's my primary form of drinking but, when I get a new coffee I make a chemex to really suss out the profile and slowly enjoy it. Espresso kinda blows out the flavor profile of a bean.

>>19565788
After going to morning Espresso (Nespresso pods) regular coffee just seems dull, colourless. I still like an Americano tho.

>>19565811
All iced coffee is “fine”. It being cold (and diluted) means you can’t taste the nuances. The difference between cold brew and Japanese iced coffee is small enough that I would rather go with cold brew since it’s so easy and hands off to make

Coffee is not a hobby

>>19565456
I'm so poor that I'm pressing Folgers preground through my $1,200 espresso machine. It's not bad.

Your La Morzacco isn’t that good

Any of you roasted your own beans before? I'm very curious about rigging up some setup to try it out.

>>19566663
the setup is needed for cooling the beans, roasting can be done up to 250g in a pan on the stove.

i cool my beans with the aid of a vacuum cleaner, a frying basket and a box with the proper holes cut out.

>>19566714
Do you think a cheap food dehydrator with the heat obviously turned off would work? I got one of those and if I understood correctly it's more or less the same as your setup just with less airflow.

>>19566744
should work. but you shouldn't roast too dark in case it doesn't.

also if you have smoke detectors you should turn them off.

>>19563351
reporting back, lokum i chose (leftmost) had some coconut. proper goff snack it is.

So like 18-19g in the double shot basket works fine in my breville barista pro..but the 1 shot basket filled with 9-10g doesnt pull right and comes out as a watery muddy not solid mess instead of solid puck. What gives? Also after a few months of owning the bbp as an espresso amateur I started really timing my shots. Manually pulling the shots as opposed to pressing the button and letting the machine just pull 45g(ml?) Of liquid. Shots seem to taste better. Idk. My Americanos still don't taste as good as drip coffee or even the Americanos made at a coffee shop with a professional espresso machine. time and yeild is correct 1:2 around 30 seconds.

I recently started trying out cafec v60 filters for light roasts and my drawdown times have tripled and my beds are no longer flat (large sinkhole-like bubbles) The brew is getting really coarse to compensate at this point and I'm worried

>>19565583
So that's a regular 1:2 espresso? If so what's the spoon for? A little bit of sugar?

>>19566878
always use a silver spoon to ensure the person is human

>>19566884
>tfw I use my human skin gloves to fool the goffeemancer

>>19566857
Lights and darks are designed to stall at different points in the brew. Mediums/abaca/whites all have a steady drawdown.

How do I know whether my coffee is good or not?

>>19565456
What am I in for?

Is meat thermometer in a kettle good enough for temperature control?

>>19567255
Yes. Any measurement is better than just guessing. Temp control electrics just let you pay for the price of convenience.

>>19567183
Does sniffing it give you an erection?

>>19567255
Yeah, it's what I use. Maybe stir it around a bit to make sure you're measuring the average temp of all the water in the kettle. Also if your kettle gets very hot be careful about leaving it leaned up against it, had one melt one time (although it was on a stovetop kettle not an electric one)

Is any of the cap accessories worth it for aeropress? Flow control, prismo, metal screens…

>>19567707
prismo. cheaper than the control flow and includes a metal filter. i'll let you know how the joepresso checks out tomorrow :)

>>19567201
Smooth and sweet coffee.

>>19566814
thanks for the update :)

>>19566820
do you grind your own beans? if so, what grinder?

disappointment im afraid.
i mean it depends how its roasted but idk washing burundi is like cooking a steak in the dishwasher.
would like to hear back after you try it.

Hario is back in the trapezoidal dripper game.

What's a good place I could buy specialty coffee from in Montreal?

>>19567731
What does it do other than stopping some drip though, does it improve the cup in a meaningful way or is the qol upgrade that substantial

>>19567937
Is that a chocolate muffin?

>>19565905
ive warmed up cold brew and it just tasted like mild cocoa water. do not cold brew your fresh beans, its a waste.

>>19568212
yes

I’ve done an autistic amount of research and have come to the conclusion that I will be buying a Baratza ESP

Tell me I’m making the right decision bros. I mostly brew pour over (home roasted) but also fuck around with French press/cold brew/moka pot.

>decide to buy a popcorn maker because until now I was roasting on a fry pan
”hmmmm the roast is very consistent but roasting only 60g at a time takes way too long. What’s the worst that could happen if I load it up…”
>load 200g into the popcorn maker
>it overheats and dies and doesn’t turn on any more, literally on the 2nd batch I ever used it for
Those were my last neetbux bros it will take me another 3 months to save up to buy a new one.

oofeeeffee

>>19566878
For stirring it - espresso can layer as it pours and the layers can taste different.

>>19568321

I've run 50lbs+ through a $20 popper before I took it apart. They'll last for years.

>>19567910
Just the normal burr grinder that comes integrated into the breville barista.

What is the proper time taken to consume a double shot espresso? Seems the cup and liquid may cool after minutes than the flavor changes.

What is the saucer for with demitasse cup? Are people dribbling liquid down the side and making a mess?

>>19568982
>burr grinder that comes integrated into the breville barista.
well there's your problem.
you have a shit grinder.
and an extremely mid espresso machine.

Thoughts on the Robot?

>>19569027
Doesn't it cost as much as a Flair 58? With Flair 58 you don't have to worry about preheating the metal and you also have a standard bucket size to fuck around with. You don't have those with the cafelat robot

workflow. no messing around with inverted whenever i want to try coarse recipes.

>>19569136
i know that integrated grinders are not great and thats a decently cheap machine.
so you could be using it wrong or maybe thats just the limits of that machine.
also like you said, the 2 shot is good but the 1 shot isn't so maybe just dont make 1 shot?

Someone I lived with burnt down my cheap 5 dollar coffee maker I got from goodwill, but I'd completely forgotten how to make good coffee long before that happened and I dunno if I should should just disavow coffee or just get a new one. Every single cuppa I made on it for weeks became shite.

>>19569479

Single baskets are evil voodoo bastards even on more expensive machines and will punish you for even the slightest variation in puck prep, grind quality or dose. If you can't pull a single don't fret too much.

I thought all mexican covee had a nutty flavor but this batch is caramelly, almost cajeta? A bit drunk too, like cajeta envinada.

I constantly hear good things about hawaiian coffee but it's been consistently shit for me, though to be fair I haven't really been searching very hard
does anyone have any roasters to recommend?

I tried hoffman method with the aeropress and it just taste like hot water.

I use the inverted method with 30g of coffee and then 100g of water. After that, I add 100g later and taste way better.

What would be a good option for good coffee for multiple people? Every sunday, my wife family comes and we take turns preparing in the aeropress but it is a pain? A have a shitty coffee dripper but it sucks, I was looking at the thecnovorn moccamaster, but is it worth it?

My wife wants an espresso machine instead but I think it is also a pain to prepare for multiple people.

>>19571093
have you tried hoffmanns french press method?

>>19571093
>I tried hoffman method with the aeropress and it just taste like hot water.
may need to grind finer

>>19571093
Moccamasters are great. You might also want to look at ratio 6 or 8. You can snag a refurb for $280 shipped and toss whatever shitty dripper you want on top to change things up later.
https://ratiocoffee.com/collections/sale/products/ratio-six-second-quality-silver

>>19571106
Nope, I don’t have a french press
>>19571110
I will try that tomorrow
>>19571129
I live in Meshitco, I found a lighty used moccamaster at 265 USD meanwhile a new one in Amazon is at 441 USD.

If I order a ratio and bring it to Mexico, it will be around 450 usd too, it is really worth it?

>>19571194
>I don’t have a french press
its like $20 dude

>>19571194
Snag the moccamaster at that price. Both are built to last, but tm has been making shit for decades. The ratio 6 will have better/more even water because of the showerhead but you can fix the moccamaster with a cheapish insert if it bothers you.
https://coffeepilot.ca/products/shower-head-insert-for-technivorm-moccamaster

what coffee should i get if i want it touched with the least brown hands possible? i'm thinking vietnamese would be best

>>19571194
>really worth it?
If you drink 10 cups of coffee a day with your family and friends then yes. Otherwise personally I find it a bit excessive when compared to something a bit "simpler" like just a basic pour-over set. I don't think moccamasters really make your coffee necessarily any better than many cheaper coffee makers but their relatively industrial design, spare parts availability and overall build quality are just nice and maybe worth the price but kinda go to waste if you just drink one cup a day.

>>19572436
oh it reads least, i thought it said best
i should get my eyes checked.

I'm an instant coffee guy.

Not that instant coffee tastes better than regular coffee, but it's more convenient to have around not just to save time on brewing coffee but also because instant coffee can be added to stuff readily like in batters for sweet baked goods and as a spice in certain sauces and gravies.

I like to add some to my chocolate cake and brownie batters, chocolate sauce for ice cream, and sometimes to my warm breakfast cereals.

>>19572461
If you're dead set on instant at least try to get decent instant. It exists, although it's hard to find. Most instant tastes like dogshit because the focus isn't just on convenience but on price, so companies brew coffee using industrial processes to extract as much as possible from the beans. When making coffee you usually extract around 20% of the solubles from the coffee into the water, with instant it's closer to 50%. Which means they make more than twice the amount of drink for the same amount of coffee, but also means that the result tastes like total shit.

After lunch goffee is the best goffee

I want to upgrade my breville barista pro to a more consistent seperate grinder and espresso machine. Ive have my breville for a few months and recently started manually pulling shots in custom mode..they've come out alot better than just pressing the button and letting the machine pull 45ml of liquid. I time them and weigh them. All is good. But the consistency is so hot and miss. One day I pull on a certain grind setting and it comes out decent than the next shot same everything and it pulls to fast or slow. Adjust the grind setting and even worse more variation in consistency. I'm thinking profitec go because I don't steam milk often and don't make shot after shot. Only about 3 a day. Any grinder suggestions? I like having a resivoir to hold my beans. Not single dose.

>>19565456
Tried a V60 for the first time today

I think I might throw my French press away…

>>19572629
You Americans are such disgusting consumerist pigs…
Did you really buy a machine like a few months ago (how many, 1? 2? 3?) just to decide that you need a new one already?
Didn’t you do your due diligence before buying your equipment?
Now you’re going to spend a lot more money when you could’ve spared buying the Breville in the first place, but then again what’s the problem when you buy everything on credit with monthly payments to the greedy jew bastard usurer?

You Americans live above your economic possibilities, you disgust me because you didn’t learn shit from the 2008 economic crisis caused by tons of mortgages given to every single literal subhuman asking for one.

DEATH TO AMERICA, DEATH TO AMERICANS

>>19572612
nice goffee anon :)
i ran out of the good shit so i gotta drink """local roaster""" shit for the next few days until my order comes in.
>says medium, is pretty dark
well it should be fine for some milk drinks
can't go wrong with a cortado.
:3

>>19572657
Don't. Even when you find a method you prefer you might be tempted to go back to the old one some day.

>>19572658
lol poor

>>19572658
Lol yes I did do my due diligence. I'm not planning on buying something new anytime soon, just testing the waters and getting an idea for what I should buy when the time comes. I decided on the bbp due to it being an all in one machine for my first dive into the espresso world. (Integrated water filter, came with tamper,l which I never actually used btw, integrated grinder cuz there's so many I have no idea what to choose so I just went with the simple choice.) Don't be mad that I can afford to upgrade to better machine so so quickly..

>>19572612
Enjoy the goffee dry skin anon

>>19572629
I'd say upgrade the grinder first, use it for a bit, and then decide whether or not you want to upgrade the machine as well.
As for what grinder, I've been looking at lower budget espresso grinders myself recently. The one most appealing to me right now is the varia vs3, but it's single dose and also the company is pretty new and has had some issues in the past so it's maybe a risky option. The baratza settee gets recommended a lot although it's loud as fuck. Both of these are around $300, what price range are you aiming at?

>>19572701
i dont think its dry, i think its age or maybe something he does with his hands, that makes them look like that on the sides of the fingers.
like the rest of the hand looks moist enough.

>>19572712
They’re dry anon.

Mainly because I wash them dozens of times a day, secondly because being an allergic subject (pollens and dust) my skin is fucked up and has atopic reactions - luckily entirely localised to the hands - so it gets super dry and cracks, giving me pain. During the summer the hands are mostly ok but in the winter they’re super fucked and bleed from the cuts.

The dermatologist said that usually these are temporary conditions because the allergy can hit different parts of the skin, so my hands won’t be like this forever…but it has been like this for at least 3 years now.

God chose to punish me.

>>19572729
sorry anon, but i know how you feel
i have psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis at varying degrees that choose to pop up at random for no reason.
i have after 2 years just been able to """remove""" the psoriasis from between my hands
and i use a special shampoo for the psoriasis for my scalp/head which is as far as i can tell, magic.
because as long as i use it every day there is no problem and i can keep it in check very well
also each skin problem isnt really helped by the treatment the other ones need.
it runs in the family.
mum and sister both got it too.
diet for me doesnt really change anything.
seems like the only thing that does anything comes in a tiny $30 tube.

>>19572707
I don't know. I guess around 400usd. Was thinking the eureka line. Also yes I will get a new grinder first and see how it goes.

>>19572781
A eureka is probably a good pick, I think their only real issue is retention. The DF64 and lagom mini would also be around that price, but they're single dose.

>>19571484
Naga is a Belgium roaster specialized on Vietnamese coffee.

>>19572781
Eurekas are junk.

For the past few months I've been using one of these to make cold brew coffee. I empty two 16oz bottles of water into it and some freshly ground up columbian beans and toss it in the fridge overnight. I only drink 16oz of coffee a day and so I end up making coffee every other day with this method. It has two different lids, one with a filter for pouring and another lid with just a gasket to seal it (though the seal isn't super tight). I've been wondering how long coffee like this lasts in the fridge. I think I'm safe with how my coffee never lasts more than two days (and I wash it out with hot water every time), but will coffee become moldy if I leave it in much longer?

>>19572760
I'm happy for you anon, I still haven't found a solution and to be honest the skin condition is the last of my problems.
The main issue, which has ruined my life to the point of making me a recluse, depressed and super anxious prisoner of my house, is the severe dry eyes that decided to happen to me years ago.
I tried everything but despite not having any auto immune disease at all, my body doesn't produce tears and that happened when my skin turned dry too.

Doctors say that it can be happened because "it is what it is" but chances are that everything can be connected to my constant depression that only keeps getting worse because of the clown world, it has evolved to the point that now I have severe reactions to organs and body parts caused by my mind.
Depression and anxiety has fucked up my stomach to the point of being in need of surgery to stop acid reflux forever, now I have muscular pain because I'm always stiff, etc..

Coffee is what's keeping me alive at the moment, it gives me the least amount of energy I can thrive off of to keep surviving until the next week, because the curiosity of trying a new coffee makes me happy.

I didn't want to share these info, but I mean, who gives a fuck at this point.

>>19572887

>despite not having any auto immune disease at all

I've been tested for it, I made a lot of specific exams included a scintigraphy to the salivar glands and everything's ok.

Funnily enough, this makes me even sadder because this illness makes no sense at all, I can't explain it and I don't understand either what did I do to deserve it.

>>19572916
Tell me what kind of coffee you drink first.

>>19572666
Yep, I was just exaggerating or something. I’ll definitely just leave it aside for now since this new method has taken my interest until I’m bored of it lol.

Coffee is not a hobby

Nah, it's pretty rare for really harmful mycotoxins to form and you'd notice pretty quickly. Mold's not like bad meat. Bacteria reproduce, after all. Just don't keep doing it, mycotoxins are more of a carcinogenic risk than acute reaction risk.

Not having a good day but I had good coffee. Increased the brew temp by 10°C and it came out much more full of flavor.

>>19573996
I literally just made this comparison in my head yesterday. Nearly perfected espresso is like a really expensive scotch or whiskey or wine except it's able to be made and enjoyed every single day lol.

Anyone try bacha coffee? I saw some ads for it then when I was in the gigantic Qatar airport they had a shop just like this and is was very busy. Checked their website and it looks so overpriced. I also heard they spray their beans with artificial flavorings.

Just ordered this for $8, free shipping plus on sale for like 50% off. 3oz heavy stoneware espresso mug.

Idk I love white porcelain when it comes to fine tableware. Not sure if this is even porcelain or some special proprietary material. They do have some nice colors. I think the color of the espresso will contrast nicely on the pure white mug.

If I want to heat water only up to 90C but my kettle only stops heating at boiling point, should I set temperature alarm few degrees lower and let it overshoot or just right at the point? I just bought picrel.

>>19574864
your question was stupid

>>19574865
Why?

>>19574868
You have water, a thing that boils water and a thermometer and you are asking how to achieve 90C water with these? I'm not sure what kind of answer you are looking for but I guess I'm still gonna tell you to get something like this. Or just a temperature controlled kettle. I dunno.

>>19574868
just do it and tell us if it worked, not ask us whether you should do it or not(how the fuck should we know)

>>19574886
>>19574887
It boils down (heh) to this question: how precise should I heat my water and does few degrees of under/overheating really matter?

>>19574905
it depends on what you plan to do with the water

>>19574906

>>19574909
i mean he is right, different brew methods care more or less about the exact temp of the water.

Thanks for the advice. What tools do I need to get started brewing my own coffee? And home much should I expect to reasonably spend on that equipment? I'm use to using K-cups, but I think I can pretend I'm better if I roast and grind my own beans for pour-over.

>>19575047
The most expensive part of a basic coffee kit is a grinder in most cases, a decent quality hand grinder is like $100 or more.
Other than that for a pour over you need the actual brewer, which can range from $10 for a plastic v60 to like $30 for a glass or porcelain one, a carafe if you wanna be fancy and if you want full faggot points you'll want a gooseneck kettle, which is another $30 for a stovetop one, a bit more for an electric one and let's say $120 or more for a temperature controlled electric one.
Roasting is a whole other level of autism that you should probably avoid.

>>19575057
I am actually certifiably autistic, but I'll take your advice anyway. I should at least get set up with brewing equipment and learn more about what I'm doing before trying to roast my own beans.

It's just too intense for me. If I dilute it a bit it becomes much nicer, either by making an americano or sometimes even just adding a small splash of milk. But straight up espresso is just too much for me.

Where can I buy a cheap V60 starter kit online? I don’t need a gooseneck kettle, I already have a good enough stainless steel tea pot I could boil water in. Now I just need the glass pot and cone things along with the paper filters.

I really hope for your sake that's a blade grinder and not their burr grinder (dbm-8). Cuisinart's burr grinder is horrendous, inconsistent grind, high static, high retention, and way too many fines. I wouldn't keep one if it was given for free. I much prefer a cheap and compact blade grinder over that bulky piece of garbage.

Unless you want the auto dosing feature it has there's literally zero reason to buy the smart grinder pro. Even if you're really set on that specific grinder you can get the dose control pro for less and it's literally the exact same grinder except without the LED display and "smart" dosing features.

Niche Zero (450 bong bucks) vs Niche Duo (550 bongbucks)
Are the flat burrs worth the price increase? I am yet to find a review that actual compares it against the Zero

>>19575652
Without a doubt, depending on the coffee you're making. If you just want traditional 9 bar 1:2 shots with Lidl beans, go for the zero.

Eureka oro single dose (65mm flat burr) opinion? Also supposed to have a powerful motor.

>>19575684
Its an old school bimodal italian espresso grinder. If you're looking for texture above all else, it'll give it to you. A JX-pro/kin k4 will give you clearer, more fruit/acid focused brews. Taking the hopper off a mignon and tilting it doesn't really do that much to make it a single doser.

So it looks like df64 is a great deal for 65mm flat burr single dose grinder. But there's so many weird variations and sellers. Can anyone recommend where to buy the best version for espresso?

>>19575737
Espressooutlet if you're in the states.
>so many weird variations and sellers
Its a grinder made by a chinese industrial appliance manufacturer called zhe jiang feilai. Various vendors have subbranded them to Turin/G-iota/whatever the fuck.

>>19575758
Ah yes Thankyou. Even that site is shady looking and weird. I have to personally email them to ensure what I want will be or is in stock before I order. Any-hoo. I'm thinking either niche duo or df64 with the high uniformity burr upgrade.

>>19575784
They sell preorders based off the stock they're getting in from aliexpress sea freight. Off the top of my head the differences are
>E-electronic dosing with hopper
>V-variable rpm
>P-"premium", comes with cheap wooden accents, pretty sure its actually worse than the normal df64
>df64 v5-second newest revision of the original
>df64 gen 2- newest, has the antistatic plasma generator from the df83+no more cheap vinyl wrap.
Heres the lagom burr chart for the p64. Might give you a little more insight into what set you'd want. The mizens are option-o's own version of the ditting lab sweet geometry. SSP calls their version Cast version 2. I run the 80mm casts from ditting and really like them for light-medium espresso and filter.

>>19575851
Ty sir

>>19575851
Can't find the df64 gen2. I am interested in that because I saw the YouTube review showing the horrible static and the rubber anticlumper which looks like it just makes grinds get stuck. I guess the v5 is what I would get with upgraded espresso burrs.

>>19573609
I started with this setup because my girlfriend got it cheap on sale at HomeGoods. The machine is ok, not stellar, but workable as long as you're not using light roasts. The grinder is kinda shitty. If you're willing to use a hand grinder, you can get a k4 and a scale for significantly less and end up with a more consistent grind.
If I were to start again, I'd buy something else, since there are better options in a similar price range.

>>19575455
Consistency is not a strength of the low budget breville lol

>>19576050
Isn't quite out yet but EO will happily take your money if you want to be one of the first to have it in the states. The facebook group "Home Espresso Aficionados" is run by the owner of EO so you'll probably find the latest info there.

https://www.espressooutlet.net/copy-of-turin-df64-v5-single-dose-coffee-grinder/

>>19576078
Yea I just noticeded it says it comes out in like 3 months. So the. The gen2 is better than the v5? I was planning on waiting. Seems I might get the gen2.

Has anyone bought coffee in these giant pill bottles things before? Should I transfer this to a valve bag?

>>19575652
Where are you getting them for that price? The website price is £540 for the Zero vs £780 for the Duo with both burr sets.

I have the Niche Zero and I find it fits my needs well. Looks good, doesn't take up too much space, simple to use. For espresso it really stands out with the medium to dark roasts, but light roasts still work well. I don't have much comparison to other expensive grinders, and I know a lot of people disagree but I also really enjoy the filter coffee that it produces too.

If I had the option and the money at the time, Id probably have gone for the Duo as long as the burr changing is straight forward. I normally do a few weeks of filter, then back to espresso for a few weeks etc. Switching out the burrs once every few weeks isn't that much effort and if it has a reasonable impact on quality then id say its worth it.

>tfw making iced americanos to survive the summer.

>>19576171
Gen 2 seems to be "v6" so it'll have even more kinks ironed out. Just keep your eye on that site for a few weeks and you might be able to snag a v5 on the cheap once he starts stocking the newer ones.

Is siphon coffee a meme?
It’s everywhere in Japan but they charge like double to triple the price for a cup of it compared to standard pour over (and 95% of Japanese coffee shops suck dick anyways) so I’ve never bought a cup. However I really like the aesthetic of it and am considering buying pic related but have no idea what it’s like

>>19576286
Its the fanciest way to make an okay cup of coffee. Shines more on darker roasts(typical for jap cafes) and people like them because it stinks up the place like no other brewing method. I'd consider it closer to french press on steroids than any filter/drip method.

>>19576194
I roast my own coffee and use a flip top jar to store it with no issues, a lot of the local brewers near me do the same. No need for a bag, just open it at least once a week (you should be anyways when you drink) to let the gas escape.

>>19576293
Hmmm it sounds a bit overrated then, which sucks because I really like how it looks. I actually like French press coffee so maybe I’d enjoy it, but I didn’t know it makes your house reek. My wife might kill me if I force my coffee autism any further.

>>19576307
You're basically boiling coffee like potpourri in an open vessel for a couple minutes. Unless you're using lavazza tier coffee I wouldn't say it'll reek, but its going to be more fragrant than other methods. Cafes like them because its a spectacle, and they get to charge more for the service. Think of the "fajita effect" in restaurants. You see a fancy sizzling plate that smells good, thats probably what you want to order.

>>19576286
it's like less controlled aeropress sans the estrogen. immersion brew with filtration.

>>19576338
Thanks anon. I guess I’ll to a cafe and try the meme myself and make my decision then.

>>19576246
Thankyou. I think I'll wait for the gen2. That anti static seems like it's almost a necessity. It's between this and the niche duo or solo, and eureka oro solo. From what I've read flat burrs are better for espresso.

>>19576349
If I buy a 5 cup capacity one do I have to brew 5 cups every time?

>>19576353
>From what I've read flat burrs are better for espresso.
All depends on the burr and what you're trying to do with your coffee. Some flats taste like conicals(eurekas) some conicals are trying to be flats(mazzer 83)

Sorry I’m retarded I don’t know what you mean. My question is if I buy a 5 cup siphon coffee machine can I brew only 3 cups or 1 cup or is it mandatory I do 5 every time?

>>19577549
idk, but it would be easier if you were ok drinking cold/reheated coffee so you could just buy the 5cup and not worry about it.
um, i suppose there is probably a minimum dose for it to function properly but i dont know what that would be.
like does it need a minimum amount of water to function?

>>19577549
What model entices you most?

>>19577559
aesthetically the miniphon but I was looking at the technica because that’s what I see on the Amazon here (the name is different but that looks like the Hario 5 cup)

I want the ability to make a larger batch, so was thinking a 5 cup model, but would probably go for a 3 cup if it means that you have to brew to the full capacity every time.

tapping on the counter instead of faux tamping helped but i need to go coarser it seems.
