Thread is already tainted.

Set up a cold brew at room temperature for tomorrow.

>30 gr of decaffeinated dark roast
>150 gr of water
>JX Pro @ 4.6.0
>12 hours steeping

1/2 will go in the cold raw milk for brekkie

1/2 will go in iced cold water for an evening fresh beverage that I will sip while I watch extremely racist content online

>>19593155
how much you left with at the end?

>>19588567
Wouldn't the old coffee oils go rancid after some time?

>>19593162
Usually the quantity of water minus the coffee weight + 50%, so in this case it would be 150 - (30+50%) = 105 grams.

Tomorrow I’ll weight the resulting liquid for a more precise answer.

>>19594470

any break up beans recommendations?

>>19594512
https://caffelab.com/lab-100-specialty-blend/

>>19594462
Yes.

Does the quality of coffee bean effect how well a moka pot works?

I had a bag of good quality, pre-ground (fine espresso-type grind) beans and it brewed perfectly every time. Only a tiny little bit of water left in the base.

Then I bought a big bag of cheap ass "10 pounds for a dollar" type beans to use with a new grinder. Regardless of how coarse or fine I grind the beans it always finishes brewing too early and leaves like a third of the water behind. I even bought one of those needle distribution tools to make sure there were no clumps.

It's the same amount of water and heat used with both.

If it's not the quality of the beans then maybe my new grinder is dog shit and isnt producing the same consistency of grounds that you get with pre-ground.

>>19594600
The type of coffee absolutely effects how water flows through it, but if you went fine or coarse enough you should still be able to control it. What grinder are you using?

>>19594611
>What grinder are you using?

A really shitty one. It's a bladed, store-brand one-button "hold the button until the coffee looks right" grinder. But it was 15 dollars, hence the accompanying bag of cheap beans to test it with.

I did put a fine grind from it through a sieve to completely remove bigger chunks and leave a uniform quality of grind, almost identical in shape to the better quality fine pre-ground, and got the same poor result, making me think it was more than just the grinder at fault.

>>19594621
Oh yeah lol you're not gonna get anywhere with that. Either get a quality grinder or keep getting preground. Well there are some other options too, some roasters offer to grind coffee for you after roasting, so you get quality fresh roasted coffee that's also ground (but will stale much faster than beans still, it's just not going to be sitting on a store shelf for 3 months before you get your hands on it). Another option is public use grinders, some stores have them.

>>19594630
Ah figured, thanks!

>>19594600
grind size( and quality of the grinder) and bean freshness are more important than "quality"
because the moka works on "percolation" the more gas thats in the beans(aka how fresh are the beans) you will see a faster brew because the increase in gas will increase how bubbly the coffee is which will increase how fast it climbs up the spout.
you can notice the difference even between 2 week old bean and 3-4 week old beans.
and a lighter roast will also change this.
so your in vs out ratio and the time it takes is going to vary a noticeable amount.
which i think is pretty cool.

>>19593165
No they don't.
I still use a saucepan to infuse boiling water with 'ffee, some of the grounds and oils remain adding a richer roastier flavor to my cuppa,
and since it reaches boiling point each time its used its probably fine.

Problem?

>>19594735
Back to /g/, tranny

>k6 now whines like crazy whenever I grind
The quality is still good and it doesn't vary by coarseness so I imagine it's not being damaged, but the noise makes it unpleasant to use. Is there some way to lube it?

>>19594822
yes
just use some food safe grease.
and then grind some trash beans through it to clear out any potential excess grease that could have come in contact with beans.

Sometimes I enjoy a nice cup of robusta.

Where did the 100%robusta cafelab anon go? I need some feedback on those beans ffs.

>>19595374
Isnt it basic knowledge robusta tastes like complete shit compared to arabica

>>19594670
Good to know, thanks man

why does supermarket coffee and chicory taste Like That when compared to the good stuff

>>19595374
Yeah I'm here.

I'm still waiting to order from Caffelab because I still have 250 grams of Italian blend and some 100 grams of decaffeinated, so I expect to order likely at the end of august.

I also have to go to Torrefazione Moka Hodeidah and taste/buy some fresh blends from them, I forgot to call them yesterday to ask them when they're closed for vacation.

Average decaf enjoyer

>>19595477
So how was the Messico bag?

>>19595493
I haven't ordered, that's my cart filled with the goffee I'm going to order at the end of the month.

>>19595616
The second pic was me.

The Finca Alianza was a great coffee anon, I liked it for its versatility: it's good in every style you make it.

In the second order I want the El Salvador and China coffee roaster for filter as I intend to brew them with the Aeropress and cold brew.

anyone else eat a handful of goffee beans just by themselves
It’s tasty

>>19595612
but then how will you get to flex of pseuds for not appreciating TRUE FLORAL AND CITRUSY GOFF. I understand the preference though. I still like a good roasty good, but figured I'd try a good city before I play around too much.

have you brewed the burundi yet or are you going to let them rest for a while.

>>19596335
you do have a natural process burundi cortado on your menu dont you?

>>19596337
This would be true if they weren't all bland dark roasts. The caffeine is there so you don't drink coffee like water. It encourages you to savour the few cups you can have.

>>19596731
brewed the Burundi in a chemex style brewer. my brew time went a little longer so the bitterness is probably my fault, not the beans. I'm getting berry notes in the cup and it gets sweeter as it cools. it's not the best goffee I've ever had, but it's better than the Tanzania peaberry that I got from a local roaster.
they advertise it as a "medium," and it tastes burnt enough that I think it's likely a French toast.
I'm gonna let it degas for another day and try again.

the other day i bought a huge moka pot, i think its the 12 cup from bialetti. anyway i made it full and took two 200cc cups from it. 6 hours later i was still high like cocaine high. turns out coffee was the real deal.

Are expensive grinders worth it if you just make Aeropress and French press coffee (i.e. no espresso or pour-over)? Do you reach diminishing returns at different points for different brewing methods?

r8 my shot

>>19598778
a more uniform grind will result in a better cup. whats your budget?

>>19598795
Nice turbo bro

>>19598778
Define expensive. Grinders with burrs like pic related are not worth it at all. Inconsistent grind, too many fines, too much static, too much retention, hard to clean. You're better off using a blade grinder. Entry level electric burr grinders (that are worth using over preground and rotary blade grinders) start around 200 USD. There are a number of good hand grinders cheaper than that, look for a reputable brand with steel burrs within your price range and you should be fine.

REAL STEEL BURRS

Been making my shots manually with the breville barista pro. A lot better results although still wildly inconsistent mostly because of the grinder I believe.

What do you guys recommend to snack on with a nice plain espresso? I saw another guy who posts his cuppas with a sugar packet. Was thinking about adding a little sugar to my double shot?

>>19598778
>>19598816
Sorry forgot pic related.

>>19598795
I get the general theory behind why more uniform grinds produce better coffee, particularly for brew methods like espresso where you're operating at very high pressures and the water remains in contact with the coffee for a very short time (so minor adjustments can make a more noticeable impact). But does it matter as much for more forgiving brew methods? I've read that you can't really over-extract in immersion brewing, so surely grind uniformity is much less important there if you just steep for long enough?

>>19598816
I already have a Timemore C3 Pro. The coffee I produce at the moment is decent enough but I'm wondering whether I'd be getting significantly better output from something that costs over £100 or even over £200.

>>19598890
A $100 kingrinder k6 will give you significantly better output than the c3 pro. On any brew method.

>>19598915
Why is the Kingrinder K6 so cheap relative to other hand grinders that it seems to get compared to? Surely there has to be some catch.

Hello /ctg/, I have been seeking good light roasts for my espresso and been buying from some foreign and domestic roasters (I'm in Texas)

1. Morgon coffee roasters (Gothenburg, Sweden): Had Colombian Yobani Ramos which is now sold out, took a while to get here but was still within a week of roasting when it arrived. Was pretty good but nothing to write home about. I've heard excellent things about this so I will be trying a different coffee.

2. La Cabra (Aarhus, Denmark): Only hadthe Kenyan roast Karimikui, I was really excited to receive it because I've heard Scandi light roasts are a whole other ballpark from anything found this side of the ocean. Was badly disappointed, the roast took me a while to dial in and the best cups I made with it were generic at best

3. Onyx coffee lab (Arkansas, USA): Had Costa Rica Las Lapas heirloom Ethiopia (it's an Ethiopian varietal grown in CR). Hated it. The coffee wasn't bad, in fact some people might have liked it, but there was this mangoey-bananaey flavor in it which I've seen in a Mexican roast before and absolutely despise. Will probably try another Onyx as I don't think this is reflective of their general quality

4. Luna coffee roasters (BC, Canada): Absolutely floored with how good the two roasts I've had with them have been. Had Kamwangi AA, which had a tomatoey flavor and not a hint of bitterness, no issues with sourness. It may well be the favorite coffee I've had at home, and would buy a few kilos for my freezer if it were still available. Very sad that it's not. I bought Techno Peach (currently available), a whole kg this time, and it's another incredibly sweet and flavorful coffee, with a good body that doesn't sacrifice the light floral tones for that generic dark roast flavor. A significant portion of the coffee beans are peaberries/caracolillos which I think add to the flavor. Will be freezing a good chunk of it for special occasions.

What have /ctg/ users liked in the past? Anything special in the USA?

>>19597613
love those but every time i put them over the coffee/tea they just sog out

>>19599153
Its a knockoff of a knockoff. Kingrinder is 1zpresso's "sister company", probably just some chinese/taiwanese money laundering from the execs. If you want to pay for better quality/alignment/tolerances, the 1zpresso K uses the same burr, but likely a higher "bin" at ~2x the price. If you want to pay even more for the german "handmade original", there's the comandante c40 and c60. The catch is its a $100 chinese grinder. Your mileage may vary. Maybe you get a poorly assembled unit and have to take it apart and reseat everything, but at $100 its a ridiculous entry point compared to shit that gets recommended like encores, smart grinder pros and the cheap timemores.

>Any suggestion for ground coffee storage.

I buy whole beans, I usually grind to much and have left over grounds. I store my whole beans in ball mason jars. I am just using a shitty plastic non-airtight container for my grounds. Should I just use a smaller ball mason jar for this or are there like purpose made or canisters on the market that work well for this purpose.

I'm gonna try all of these, thanks anon. Flowerchild even has the same Kamwangi I got from Luna, will be very interested to see their take on it.

>>19599563
No, it's very floral, has a bit of like peach tea to it

>>19599866
flowerchild also has the burundi kayanza gakenke I roasted up a few weeks ago. Tastes kind of like an arnold palmer. Sey and proud mary get some pretty wild beans in every once in a while. Hydrangea specializes in weirdly processed coffee so you'll always find something interesting.

The Kingrinder K6 is 195 CAD (145 USD) on Canadian Amazon. Is it still worth it or will I be happier paying 260 CAD (193 USD) for a 1Zpresso J-Max? Primarily brew immersion, pour over, and moka pot.

>>19600027
Kin k6 is completely different than Jmax. Jmax/k4 are kinu m47 clones. Kmax/k6 are comandante clones. Roguewave has the jmax s for 186.

>>19600049
>Kmax/k6 are comandante clones.
Clones of what? The C40? In that case I'd rather pay the 60 CAD extra for the legit grinder over the K-Max. Guess I'll think about the K6 for now. Still a bit steep for a clone of a clone.

>>19600076
Yep. They're just the c40 burr scaled up to 48mm.

>>19600076
>In that case I'd rather pay the 60 CAD extra for the legit grinder over the K-Max
The C40 is just a worst product at that point. External adjustment is the way forward. Would be funny to see them try to copy it now

>>19600064

I wouldn't disagree with this take, but some people don't mind paying the european manufactured premium. For everyone else, there's chinkshit clones. The c40 is great and will always be great, its just a poorer value now. I'd still rec people Kinu m47p, but fewer and fewer anons in these threads are willing to drop that much.

Isn't the phoenix model only like $200? I think there's anons willing to drop that on a hand grinder.

>>19600909
I think it's up to $220 now but yeah. I paid like $190 a few years back. It's a hard sell for those who complain about the kin's price already.

What exactly makes a coffee suited for cold brew vs. espresso?

>>19601091
>But why would he shoot the roaster?
FUCK! I HATE COLD COFFEE!

>>19601094
Nothing, cold brew is a waste. Why do people insist on it?

what's a good beginners coffee?

>>19601128
Because I don't want to drink hot coffee when it's 95 outside.

>>19601142
depends

>>19601148
just give me anything I'm willing to jump in and learn as I go, into the fray

just make an espresso tonic

>>19601151
im assuming you dont have a grinder(if it has blades its not a grinder) or really any equipment at all.

>>19601155
yeah I don't, but I'd be willing to get one (any budget recommendations?) since that seems to be the minimal hardware needed to be a coffeefag

I was in Singapore recently, Arab street, and I had this fucking $8 USD Spanish Latte. I couldn't believe I was spending eight fucking bucks on a latte, but I needed something, and holy shit it was something. Genuinely one of the best drinks I've had in my life, I want to chase that feeling again. Have to start with the basics first though.

>>19601158
and yes I am looking through the OP pastebin

>>19601158
If you scroll up a bit we were talking about the kingrinder k6 earlier. Budgetfags do it all grinder. Shits on everything under $100 and a lot of grinders above.

made an iced goffee

>>19601158
there was a comment chain earlier about cheap hand grinders
>>19598778
here, just follow this reply chain.
and you can get a flair neo flex for like $100?
but something so cheap is going to be pretty fiddley just to make 1 cup.
you might be more interested in french press(alot of people start with the french press and then "graduate" to more advanced techniques)
hoffmann did a good video on this years ago.
give it a try.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st571DYYTR8
i wouldnt recommend aeropress, even if done perfectly its not espresso so why even bother.
hoffmann also did a video on a beginners guide to great coffee.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9YnLFrM7Fs
im not going to tell you (and others here shouldnt either) to buy xyz coffee because no one here including you, have any idea what you will actually like.
so im not going to say "hey go spend $100/kg on this coffee that i buy"
it would probably be better to get a good understanding of a particular process first and see if that process is something you like and then decide you want better, higher quality beans.
you dont want nice beans to experiment with as a beginner.
its like giving a $50 steak to someone who has never cooked before.
its simply a waste of time.
im probably going to sleep soon so i hope some other anons are able to be more helpful than i am while i am asleep.

Afternoon goffee time.

Today I opened a small 70 grams bag of Ethiopia Elkurud by Caffè Verrè.

It’s currently brewing on the moka.

>>19601386
Go back faggot.

>>19601395
https://www.caffeverre.it/en/products/specialty-coffee/specialty-coffee/ethiopia-elkurud/#6:8,3:13

Key notes on the package: red currant, dark chocolate and lemon.

To the nose there’s a lot of lemon and citrus, you can feel them both when smelling the beans/ground coffee and the extracted coffee.

I grinded @ on the JX Pro 1.8.0 which is my reference starting point for the moka pot.

The lemon notes are strong and overwhelming, you can feel acidity at the back of your mouth, there’s a defined bitterness that reminds me of extremely dark chocolate, which comes through at the end of the sip.
The aftertaste is mildly sweet and bitter at the same time, I don’t necessarily feel the red berries but it’s an acidic fruity note combined with chocolate.

Overall it’s not my kind of goffee, I don’t like this kind of acidity but then again I found the other Ethiopian goffee from Caffelab (the one with Chinotto notes) very good, so it’s up to how balanced these notes are.

Full medium roast, overall good quality.

Would not buy again.

>>19601412
The color is sweet

>>19601386
>>19601412
>>19601415
Dear Mokanon, it’s always a pleasure.
Looks like you’re having fun with lots of different goffee beans, I’m kinda envious.

>>19601144
Just brew concentrated coffee, put it on ice

>>19601158
If you want a proper latte, you'll need espresso and steamed milk. Electric espresso machines can be very expensive, manual ones are cheaper but they have more work involved and they usually don't have a steam wand so you'll need to find another way to produce steamed milk. Espresso making is something that can require a significant time and money investment, which means it's not for everyone but the results can be rewarding.

If you just want a milky coffee drink that tastes nice without breaking the bank, you can follow this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgIVfU0xBjA
Basically he makes a concentrated coffee base (but not strong enough to be real espresso) using a moka pot or Aeropress, then heats up some milk (in the microwave or on a stove) and foams it with a French press. So that could be a much more budget friendly alternative if you just want to dip your toe into this stuff before deciding if you want a real espresso machine. The Aeropress is also a pretty versatile brewer that can be used for filter coffee and iced coffee, and it's pretty easy to use and clean, which makes it popular with beginners.

i've had it before and remember the washed side of the blend showing a bit of oils and thought i'd try them in the joepresso. i'm hoping for chocolatey, syrupy shots.

>>19601643
You want a dark roast for achieving these flavours.

Take the Italian roast pill.

Gonna buy a Niche Duo the next time the GBP craters relative to the dollar

Blog:
Did pour over today with the same beans, same grind, same water temperature. Light roast natural process beans, I loved them last time. Today they tasted almost burnt and I couldn’t taste any of the complexities

I rent. I have no debt. I own my car. I have steady money and work from other things enough to live happily. Maybe one day I will keep the money but for now I just can't touch it so I will donate it to random local charities. Buying a luxury espresso machine i might as well purchase a ticket to hell.

Is an almost a decade old Aeropress too old? I left it at home but might go collect it soon. Should I get a new one? Or another brewer? I also have a v60 but I don't think it's as nice when adding milk.

>>19593991
>not all of them, name individuals!

could just stick in the bank and let it collect interest for 20 years.

um anon?

>>19602107
As long as the rubber on the Aeropress plunger is in decent shape then it'll still good, cheap to replace if not.

>>19600535
I disassemble/dry brush my hand grinder about once or twice a week, and immediately on getting new beans

do you guys do anything with your coffee grounds and filter papers?
Was thinking about saving my coffee grounds and using them for my plants as fertilizer/soil

>>19602791
too many grounds is bad for plants
just a little is ok
so its not really a long term solution.

Looking to buy espresso equipment. Thoughts on this machine and grinder?

https://en.timemore.com/taimochanpin/modouji/lizicshouyaomodouji-m/
The grinder is around $50 and the machine is like $160.
I was recommended the grinder, but I was also wondering why get this one over something that's a bit cheaper and also electric?

>>19603336
Take your beans to Costco and grind it all at once.

>>19603336
get a hario skerton + hand drill + scratch n dent flair

Caffeine is supposed to be an insect repellent right? Could you mix a bit of honey and coffee together to make a mixture that flies want to eat and then die from caffeine overdose?

>>19603336
if you want to make ((real)) espresso, make sure to get a bottomless portafilter and non-pressurized baskets - dedica doesn't have those (cause you're supposed to use pre-ground with it)
you could probably buy it on amazon or some other site
also, the grinder is probably too cheap to pull off consistent shots, would recommend something more expensive

>>19604419
How about the upgraded C3?

>>19604430
dunno anything about it, but I don't think It's that much different from C2
the best "cheap" manual grinder for espresso would probably be something like 1zpresso or kingrinder
you also need to take the actual grinding into consideration, grinding for espresso every single day might be quite exhausting (for some), if you value comfort it might be worth investing into a electrical one
grinders are usually more expensive than the actual espresso machines

>>19593141
Tell me what you think about Nespresso, you, the world elite coffee enthusiast.

>>19604466
>dunno anything about it, but I don't think It's that much different from C2
but you do and it is

>>19604574
C3pro is a worse chestnut x, not a better c2. If the spike to cut burr was any good, 1zpresso/Kin would have cloned it by now and put it in 7 models. Tx txplus txpro txmax txultra txultra-s(with a folding handle) and the humble kingrinder t4.

So is it just impossible to get a fresh roasted bag of lavazaa? Ordered this less than a week ago from their lavazaausa website. Came in the mail today, shipped from NY.

Also it had a fucking sticker right on the front label covering it and the gas escape device lol.

>>19604742
Forgot pic

>>19604742
its lavazaa bro

>>19604466
Is grinding really that bad? I want to consider an electric one, but I don't know if the price would justify the taste over something manual.

WDT is noticeable in standard aeropress cups :)

>>19604742
It might be possible but you'd have a better chance in a grocery store where you can look over all the roast dates yourself before buying. Even then don't hold out much hope, grocery store-tier coffee is made to sit on shelves for months if not years, they don't care about freshness. I've only found fresh beans in a grocery store once and it was a specialty shop trying to branch out.

Can anyone here recommend a carafe that fits an Aeropress, pours reasonably well and won't shatter if you press on it?

>>19604843
I use a stainless steel jug with flat borders, it won’t shatter and it’s safe.

>>19604742
>>19604746
>Super Crema
1:10 in 30s is best crema
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyrhLPH-ejk

>>19604817
I did it daily for years. Not a big deal unless you're making espressos for a family of 12 every morning. It got more annoying when I started pulling very light coffees on high flow baskets. Just keep in mind the next "better" conical grinder up from those on the list would be a niche so unless you're willing to drop $600 or whatever they cost now hand grinders are a steal. And you might still end up preferring the smaller, lower rpm burr in the cup. Taste is a weird thing.

Coffee is not a hobby

>>19604843
>>19604850
yes frothing pitcher that is at least 500ml. made the mistake of ordering a smaller one that couldn't clear the aeropress the first time around.

Did someone try the pour over recipe on the Aeropress?

>pic related

Also I always used beans roasted for espresso on the Aeropress and diluted recipes tastes weak and watery, if I use beans roasted for filter would the result drastically improve?

>>19605452
>Did someone try the pour over recipe on the Aeropress?
yes, it produces a different cup :)

>Also I always used beans roasted for espresso on the Aeropress and diluted recipes tastes weak and watery, if I use beans roasted for filter would the result drastically improve?
could be the ratio. try adding more coffee or using less water.

>>19605493
Oook

Takes way too long to filter but fuck paying $8 for a jug of cold brew

>>19605553

Isn’t c3 stepless?

>>19605736
Looks to me like it uses the same bottom c2 adjustment but maybe on a finer pitch.

>>19605845
>dial in an espresso
what does that mean? don't use this if you want to make espresso?

>coffee/goffee general
>no mention of Bustelo
and you call this a goffee general, harump

>>19605896
If the step size is too big for espresso, it's probably not a stepless grinder.

call me heretical, but do ridges on a dripper make a difference over something smooth like a Chemex?

>>19606273
Of course. A big reason why the chemex sucks is the papers fully adhere to the spout and choke off your flow. Thats why the "chemex chopstick" is a thing.

>>19605845
Yeah you’re right, I went back and read it instead of basing off memory. It said “stepless” but then elaborated that it really isn’t. Wtf lol

> STEPLESS GRINDING ADJUSTMENT: Easily rotate the dial according to your preference from finer to coarser settings in almost half of the steps than C2 (Espresso settings begin around 8 clicks backward from the start point); you can use this hand grinder for everything from espresso to pour over and French press.

>>19605896
Dial in mean getting it just right according to some parameter. You can dial in pourover, espresso, anything. If steps are too big, it means you adjust it up and down and might end up too fine or too coarse, and you realize there’s a “just right” in-between setting that’s not available.

>>19606366
Not that anon, but I just thought of this. What if you grind half of it one step too coarse and the other half one step too fine, then thoroughly mix the two together, prep and pull a shot? How would that turn out I wonder.

>>19606358
>in almost half of the steps than C2
Wait is this saying its ~double the stepsize over c2? Lel
>worse chestnut x

>>19606512
On second thought 66:34 coarse:fine would work better in this scenario.

>>19597528

>>19607218
what

peets big bang:
-remembered to go coarser due to the added pressure of a bottom paper filter
-forgot darker roasted beans take up more space so i had to underdose further and settled on 10g after channeling on 12g
-95c brought out a roastiness in this coffee that im not fond of. will have to play around with temp or preinfusion or both
