You think the pope uses a moka pot?

Rate em.

>>19608046
Are they supposed to be different colors?

>>19608001
Is that a booo urn?

>>19608053
Yes, Signore Bialetti's ashes are inside. I wonder if he made his kids brew through them? I would.

>>19608060
>burn me like the coffee I drank

>>19608050
Yeah, when the roaster doesn't know what he's doing and/or he's buying the cheapest greens on the market.

what do you think is the average iq of a moka pot user? it has to be under 90 right?

>>19608144
Grazie anon very generous

>>19608144
most likely somewhere around 86. I feel bad for them honestly, it's not their fault they where born Italian

Get a real hobby.

>>19608270

Best manual grinder for a nub? I’m going to do v60 pour over and ice coffee mainly. Lots of espresso too if I ever get a machine.

>>19608408
Kingrinder k4 or k6.

>>19608408
Kingrinders like the other anon said. A 1zpresso q2 can also be fine, although the new ones have that retarded folding handle.

I love quality dark roasts

you guys are probably going to reee at me, but I decided to buy pic related on a whim and it tastes really good. I'm surprised that it tastes as good as those expensive individually bottled/canned iced coffees.

Past couple of days, I still woke up having my own coffee that I ground up and brewed myself, but I'd have a cup of vanilla coffee later on in the day as a treat for myself.

>>19608759
>it tastes really good
>it tastes as good as those expensive individually bottled/canned iced coffees
Turns out its kind of hard to fuck up coffee+milk+sugar.

I like coffee but if I ingest any more caffeine my sleep will be fucked.
Thoughts on decaf iced coffee?

>>19608917
it's great, true sign of goffee lover

Poor moka "people" just had to report the low IQ post. Sad.

My daily moka, simple as.

How do you brew your coffee /ctg/?

>>19609320
mr coffee

>>19609320
Pourly.

>>19609320
Espresso.

>>19609320
Moka pot makes a cup too strong for me. I mainly use a v60.

>>19609340
Espresso is too strong for me. I have to add water to be able to drink it.

>>19609320
moka pot
half coffee, half cold milk in the morning.
half coffee, full ice in summer afternoons and hlf coffee half warm water in winter afternoons.

>>19609406
So, an americano

>>19609320
aeropresso

>>19608439
Man, they really did discontinue the non-folding q2. Want one for the aeropress anyway, so I guess ill spend 30 more...
The are allegedly other companies that make "fits inside areopress" manual grinders. Like this 17$ one https://fireboxstove.com/product/coffee-grinder/
There was a 30$ difference from the 1zpresso q2 and q2s. I hate profit margin seeking.

>>19609476
$114cad is like $85usd and ships free.

The main issue is commandante lawsuit I believe.

Are the electric heated moka pots a meme?

>>19609320
Espresso milk drinks or pourover, depending on what I'm in the mood for.

>>19608087
The coffee he drank burned him?

>>19609320

>>19608022

Spending $1000 on coffee equipment does not compensate you lack of a personality

>>19610222
No, but it makes my coffee better

>>19610222
But what if I spent 100€ on a 10 years warranty moka?

>>19610303
>A warranty on a machine with no moving parts

>>19610124
too long didnt laugh
tried too hard in the second half.

lucky he did actually, his "premium stainless steel" moka was broken for like 2 months and he didnt even know.

>>19610340
Jokes on you it came broken and I already had to RMA it.

>>19610372
You only needed 1 day warranty then didn't you?

Everytime I try to make an Americano it taste terrible..the bitterness is too strong compared to any other flavor and it makes it taste like Im drinking medicine or boiled green tree leaves or something thing.

>>19610034
For me it's only the best

>>19608001
My Moka pot tasted sour but also almost IDENTICAL to the shitty espresso I get at most restaurants. That battery acid taste. I will try grinding finer next time but also, I wonder if lighter roasted beans would be better as well.

>>19610518
doesnt copper give you manbreasts?

>>19610644
Actually wait, I just realized that lighter roasted beans might make it even more sour… Screw it, it’s always worth trying

Sadly, it's also 114$ if localized, I'd have to do some spoofing to exploit the conversion. The non s was 80$ though

>>19610637
Grind a little coarser and skim the crema off the espresso before adding hot water.

>>19610637
that's because americanos taste terrible to begin with.

Just preordered the df64 gen 2 with ssp high uniformity burrs from espressooutlet. Besides that my only espresso purchase was the breville barista pro..I'm appalled at how truly dookie the conical burr grinder that is part of the bbp is. Hopefully the actual group head/pump and shit is decent so adding a good grinder will drastically improve my shots without having to spend another $1k on the profitec go or something.

>>19611431
Godspeed VAnon. Hope its everything you've dreamed of.

Got a brand new Wilfa Svart for 30€ with 5 years of warranty, drinking good tonight.

i had a shower and calmed down a bit.
just ruining my 5 year perfect relationship with my big fucking mouth and my massive ego.
idk, as far as breakups go it was extremely gentle i guess.
doesnt hate me
still enjoys spending time with me
still has feelings for me
still attracted to me
but has a fair bit of resentment and idk pity(not her words)
like when you have a pet but you work 18 hours a day so its home alone for the entire day for months on end and one day the owner feels bad for the dog takes it to the pound.
now thats probably too much details.(and worded horrifically)
she said she needs time alone and we can talk in like 6 months.
but we have already been on break for 6 months so its probably already completely fucking over and im just inhaling giga copium that she will take me back ever.
BUT again shit was perfect and she was still into me and all that so???? maybe?
what i said was really bad. but like really? no second chances? first time i fucked up in 5 years? just poof thats it?
idk if this shit was reversed i'd give them a second chance.
anyway its 6:30 am and its almost moka time.
i think i will go get a haircut.
fuck me im just looping in my head between coping and hopium.
its fucking over...
(i can rizz her up this summer for sure)(she's going to fucking murder me if i even try)

oh and thanks for reading my blog

The rwandan is sipping very nice. 16.5:65 in like 15s, quick preinfusion up to 2bar, let the basket fill in then let her rip at 6. I think a genecafe will cheer you up:)
>fuck me im just looping in my head between coping and hopium.
>its fucking over...
I told you back in like January you were spiraling and lashing out pal. If I could see it on 4chan, I can't imagine how it was in your day to day. Not too late to schedule an appointment with your old hungarian therapist. You'll get through this. One cuppa at a time.

>>19611581
Read 3 percent man, dont cave in. Get other options, she will sense your Chad energy

>>19611610
back then we were on break and too high on my own ego to realise i was being massively autistic.
so thinking i was still in the right and that she was in the wrong and that she was crazy because i expected her(and everyone else on earth to cope with trauma exactly how i do)
and combine that with being an attention starved schizoid i was a very bad time to be around me irl or online.
so after months of not knowing what my fate was i called
like Pandora's box i HAD to know what was inside even if it killed me
and now i know
and it killed me
and i want to go back in time and not open the box like a fucking moron(probably just cope)
yeh i was pretty fucking unbearable.
jan was also when i quit drinking.
so yeh...
but at least knowing i was "with" her meant i had some kind of light at the end of the tunnel
now i have nothing
just a void.
its fucking over(in summer(its fucking over) we are so back)
sorry guys but im probably going to be even more insufferable for a while
hope you dont hold it against me too much.
you guys dont get it im literally the hunchback of Notre dam and shes like a fucking goddess.
this was a once in a lifetime girl.
and its my fault.
i wish it was something else
like if she turned gay that would be way better i could cope with that.
well, time to go vertically crank some washed(sigh) burundi...

>>19611649
>she will sense your Chad energy
thats why im waiting for summer.
just 1 good conversation and im back in 100% 1000%
anyway this is me irl unironically.

thanks for the positive vibes anon
big moka for brekky.
almost got me with that song anon... almost.

Backstory plus question: the only time I bought green coffee from the Ethiopian supermarket near my old apartment, I gently pan-roasted them and removed beans individually after two pops and as they reached the colour I wanted. I also added new beans after each removal until they were all roasted. The results were good (very nice tasting coffee, 2bh) but it took me forever to get through them all and the process was a bit slapdash and labour intensive
What easier way is there to roast beans at home without specialised equipment?

>>19611670
It's good that Daniel Radcliffe keeps his height book-accurate to this day, long after the films have wrapped.

Indeed. Saw him the other night on Miracle Workers where he was on his knees in front of a 6'7 guy, rubbing said guy's crotch. He was also riding on the guy's shoulders earlier in the episode. He's kinky as shit.
Not that this has anything to do with coffee or being book-accurate

ENOUGH doomer posting.

Can the ball bearing on the Hario Switch be actuated by a curved implement, like a lock pick or something else? I'm asking because the only reason I'm hesitant to buy the switch is the fucking resin switch itself.

It's literally just a little lever that lifts the ball. I'm sure you could rig up something out of clothes hanger wire or something.

I have nothing interesting to say. Just bought my first areopress, I'm tired of drinking coffee like a barbarian.

I've taken the grapefruit for breakfast pill, goes great with coffee

>>19613482
ever thought about putting your aeropress upside down and then sitting on it so the hot goffee squirts inside your bumhole?

Anyone experienced with phin filter? Recipe on the internet provide very different information about the process. I need the truth. What grind size is optimal, how long do I bloom, should the coffee drip during bloom or if it does, I made it too thin?

>>19613541
I haven't used one but I'd go grab some (vietnamese ofc) ground coffee from a vietnamese/asian grocer for grind size reference (I've come across specialty vietnamese single origins at restaurants too but idk where they got them from)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdNIzHvuqEg

Sorry if this is a dumb question bros, I'm still new to this.
I'm looking at buying a coffee machine for my house so I can LARP as a barista and can't decide between these two.
Which one would you recommend?

The Moka pot is the quintessential and best goffee extraction tool, and I'm tired of pretending that it's not.

Do NOT reply to this post if you're using anything more expensive than a Flair to make espresso.

>>19613646
Definitely the breville. Although I think it'll come out cheaper if you buy a bambino and their standalone grinder. I'm not sure if the barista express has any features over the bambino other than the built in grinder and temp gauge.

>>19613676
>temp gauge
*pressure gauge

There's a cute girl who works at the local roaster, she's got pretty blue eyes.

>>19613685

>>19613688

Not happening, I'm too much of a sperg

>>19613740
Ah same man

>>19613676
Thanks anon.

>>19613740
Practice speaking with people just slightly above your sperg comfort level. Once you are comfortable enough that you don't sperg out in a conversation with these people, move up a level. Keep doing this until you can comfortably hold a non-sperg conversation with your crush. Remember, the more people you talk to the easier it gets. Also lower or completely stop your caffeine intake. Stimulants contribute to anxiety and erratic behavior, spilling of spaghetti.

>>19613814
>Also lower or completely stop your caffeine intake
Bruh... You forgot where you are?

>>19608022
and boys

>>19613646
The breville. But I recommend the pro as it's easier to use and mess with settings and stuff and it heats up instantly. I have to pro and am upgrading the grinder after only a few months because the breville built in grinder isn't very consistent. If I could do it again I'd get the bambino and a decent grinder not breville brand. But I'm glad I got the breville barista cuz it has everything you need out the box. Built in filter/grinder/tamper. Good first machine.

any home roasters? whats some good roasting devices or strats? serious ones with decent outcomes.. im curious to try

>>19613838
Just buy a popper* from sweetmarias.

cold brewers give me your recipes, times and ratios.

>>19613500
Based grapefruit enjoyer, I take it you are a hyperlight Kenya drinker as well?

>>19613619
nigger you can't put an aeropress in the dishwasher

For me it's buying the highest strength coffee and only filling my moka pot half way for each coffee so I can save money

grabbed another 250g packet for 3.45 and then rememberedi'm not crazy about it and still have an unfinished one. cold brew it is.

>>19614240
Why does my cold hebrew taste bitter? I grind extra coarse, it’s definitely not a grinder problem because I have a good manual one, but steeping 12 hours always gives me bitter goff that has the be diluted with milk, otherwise with water is trash.

>>19614293
dunno haven't cold brewed since at least a year.

Lavaaza super crema

Good lord it is strong and dark. Pretty nasty espresso compared to the lighter fruiter specialty fresh roast I had before.

>>19614293
>cold BREW
>bitter
Each and every single time I've had or made that shit it's been sour and extremely unpleasant so I've stopped going for it. I wish it tasted bitter. That's how I like my espresso: short, black and bitter (and gives good head), just like my women.

>>19614425
Don’t buy prepackaged stale beans anon.

>>19614293
Cold brew is shit, just brew conentrated coffe into ice

>>19613829
That's why I included that line. Many of you are overcaffeinated. Take a break and/or drink decaf. Caffeine is a drug and should be consumed in moderation for optimal enjoyment and wellbeing.

>>19614425
>40% robusta
at one point you should be able to extrapolate

>>19614527
Relax schizo.

>>19614496
Yea I thought of i ordered them direct from their website they'd be fresh but they came 6 weeks old. Also, do most espresso roasts come dark af because the company just assumes people are going to dilute the hell out of it with milk?

Also the super crema tastes like I'm smoking a cigarette, that's how burnt.

>>19614535
Yea from what I'm learning robusta is bitter and nasty? I wanted to take a chance and try some dark espresso and it turned out not such a good decision. If I got a 100% arabica dark roast would it taste better?

>>19614542
>because the company just assumes people are going to dilute the hell out of it with milk?
Yes. Also they correctly assume the people buying ultradark espresso beans are running them through a hamilton beach blade grinder and into a moka.

>>19614553
Yes, but dark roast is always going to taste like dark roast. You get that color from burning the oils and sugars present in the bean. Thats why it tastes like a cigarette. This article shows a bit of general differences between robusta and arabica.
https://sca.coffee/sca-news/2021/10/19/acids-in-coffee-a-review-of-sensory-measurements-and-meta-analysis-of-chemical-composition

>>19614553
it's a traditional italian roast, great for milk drink if the espresso is too much for you. Lavazza suggests 8g in 25g out in 23s-28s.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l63l-TCN8s4

>>19614542
I'm the Italian anon and Lavazza is a supermarket tier coffee brand, the one normies buy.
It's trash.

Do not buy coffee under 18-20€ per kg anon, otherwise you're buying mass produced industrial shit and these productions are well renowned to have TRASH quality robusta, in fact Italy is one of the biggest importers of cheap robusta, the lowest quality possible, and I'm not memeing.

Avoid prepackaged coffee unless maybe Illy which is better, but if you want good coffee there are tons of roasters with online shops that ship to Europe like Caffelab and many others I always link ITT.

Italians coffee enthusiasts do not buy Lavazza and these supermarket brands, we have local micro neighborhood roasters in every city and once you find one you like, then you buy your everyday coffee there.

It's a meme and even if possible, it was remotely true years ago before the Italian investigative journalism show called Report made a huge report about the trash quality of the average coffee served in Italian bars (normies here are convinced that we have the best coffee in the world while they were used to drink burnt shit from dirty machines that were never purged when making a new cup), so from that point on the coffee sector has been shaken and the quality dramatically improved.

This speaking about the average bar and roasters, because the ones who knew how to make coffee never had this problem to begin with.

With that said I've never seen beans darker than pic related and I buy a lot of coffee from multiple roasters.

Should I get a non-electric Hario gooseneck if I don't care about having my water heated to a specific degree and just want it boiled

>>19614741
If you want to try good Italian specialty roasters, this article has many names and links:

https://www.dissapore.com/spesa/caffe-i-migliori-da-comprare-online/

I personally suggest this one if you want classic non specialty Italian blends (they also have specialty bean), aka the true Italian coffee experience that I particularly suggest trying if you have a moka pot: https://caffeterzi.shop/

Add to the list: www.caffelab.com / www.caffelab.it

>Italian investigative journalism show called Report made a huge report
This is some clown world shit. A show called the News put out some huge news and italian coffee was rescued.
>coffee sector has been shaken and the quality dramatically improved
Cope and seethe. Those beans are black anon. Don't drink charcoal.

>>19614769
>A show called the News put out some huge news and italian coffee was rescued.

They did the same for pizza in Naples and they fixed their shit because of the backlash.

You can watch the coffee report here: https://www.raiplay.it/video/2019/06/Report-Inchieste-Caffe-il-buono-il-rancido-e-il-ginseng-03062019-5f58891a-c90d-420f-b193-0839dc0b4ee3.html

They also trash talk Caffè Gambrinus, which you should know because some anon posted it here in the last thread.

>>19614760
Also this roaster has incredibly good prices with free shipping if you're in Italy.

https://www.caffeverre.it/it/prodotti/starter-pack/starter-pack/starter-pack/

This pack is 250 gr x 4 blends and 70 gr x 4 specialty for only 27€.

I bought the E&B filter from them with 4 specialty small bags and their coffee is good.

>>19614776
So you're telling me "traditional italian" coffee was shit before 2019 but you guys liked pretending otherwise? And all it took was a 40 minute advertainment segment for the entire country to change their ways?
>This is some clown world shit.
Anon you're smarter than this.

>>19614793
I'm specifically talking about the coffee quality in bars and restaurants, so the "ready to drink" coffee sold to paying customers.

In Italy we don't have coffee bars like in the rest of the world, or at least we have some of them but they're all specialty coffee places for coffee enthusiast people, not generic places where you can buy coffee, because our coffee culture revolves around a quick service, low costs, for a single shot of coffee (espresso means express) and therefore it doesn't make sense to have a lot of coffee places with barista taking their time to make you a cup like we do ITT with all the procedures and the autism.

That's why the average barista here doesn't even bother to flush the machine between cups.

When Report released the 40 minutes documentary it had a big backlash because it's a big tv program aired on the biggest national tv channel on prime time and therefore a lot of places tried to make things better, not necessarily fix everything, but at least nowadays you can see that barista are more focused on some practices and the coffee is better even though you won't see them using WDT tools and such in a normal crowded bar, because otherwise it wouldn't be impossibile to serve everyone in time.

This as an example is how new barista are trained, as you can see they teach them the correct way of doing things:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoR3Y1T0Xbo

Vid related is the most renowned coffee expert trainer in Italy, name's Fabio Verona, and in his book he explained that he always trained barista like that but ultimately it's more complex.

[...]

>>19614809
When a bar wants to sell coffee, they usually sign a contract with a coffee supplier/roaster which gives them the coffee and the machine (that's why in Italy you will see the insigna of the roaster who makes the coffee under the bar name) and the bar pays them a monthly fee like if it was a leasing. They can't sell another coffee, they're contractually tied to one supplier and that's quite a scam.

The coffee roaster also can either supply the staff or teach your staff how to make coffee, and they can make a shitty job too by forming people without all the essential procedures, but I think that's not the real problem here.

As I said above, the real issue is the TIME because in Italy bars are very crowded especially in the morning because they're flocked with dozens of people at the same time demanding espresso, cappuccino and a lot of things because they also have breakfast at bars, so the barista has to work fast to serve all these people a shot, that's why they skip on a lot of things.

With the Report tv service at least things are now better because most bars now flush their machines between coffees and are more focused on cleanup procedures, also the training got better and specialty roasters and other roasters who only sell coffee and not the machines can also work with bars to train the barista.

Alberto Trabatti on his Torrefazione Penazzi is especially butthurt about the whole procedure described above (the leasing + coffee contract) and he talks about it, he only sells his coffee to bars who decide to buy from him.

With that said: the vast majority of Italians drink shit like Nespresso just like other Europeans, so normies will always drink shit, no matter the quality of artisanal roasters and no matter that we produce the best espresso coffee machines in the world.

I usually use a supermarket own brand but it seems a bit plebby

It means express as a synonymous of instantaneous coffee, aka a machine/method of extraction that would be able of producing coffee on demand without having to wait like they did before espresso was invented.

is it possible to drink coffee occasionally? i recently had a day without coffee and tanked a headache because of it; and not wanting my pain to be in vain i decided that it would be a good time to stop drinking coffee all together, didn't like my dependence on it

but there are certain coffee pairings i wouldnt want to deprive myself of like hot black coffee and cold pizza... or coffee with various desserts; so is it possible to just have a coffee like 1 time every two weeks? or will each day following my infrequent single cup of coffee result in a headache and force me back into the cycle of dependency

>>19615788

>>19615860
>occasionally
yes but only after you recover from your addiction
so go like 2 months without coffee and then once a month you can have 1 special coffee
this dickhead on joe rogan talks like a fag but he's kinda right even tho he still drinks shitty coffee.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAPG18zNtXk

>>19615860
If you're sensitive to caffeine variance you could always take relatively low-dose caffeine pills on the days you don't drink coffee. There's nothing special about coffee caffeine; pills get a bad rap because they're so often sold and consumed at trucker strength (200mg+)

I think it's definitely a small market thing. I recently bought a 1966 gillette razor. It's well built and has adjustable aggression and a new razor like this would cost over $100 but in 1966 it was $1.79, less than $20 adjusted for inflation. I attribute this pretty much entirely to the fact that back then everyone was using razors like this, whereas now they're a relatively niche thing.

Its good for someone who wants to autistically "pull" the exact same slow, med-dark 1:2 ratio shots with no flexibility. The flair 58 might have "worse" build quality, but your flexibility when it comes to actually making espresso is miles ahead. Want the slow choccy thick shots that a 9barista will make? Toss in a $5 espressoparts ridgeless. Want to fuck around with more modern high flow stuff, toss in an expensive basket. 9barista can only take the weird 53mm ims baskets.

>>19619015
Thank you.
Maybe I’ll buy both just because of the novelty of the 9barista, it’s a nice design piece after all.

Depends on how much you were drinking. Myself I rarely drink more than 2 cups worth in a day and some days I won't have any, and I don't have any issues on the days I don't.
One cup every two weeks shouldn't have any actual impact on your body.
How much have you been drinking if one day without is giving you a headache?
You could buy a pack/jar of those Kopiko sweets. One of those is about 25% of a regular cup of coffee (and the cappuccino flavour is half that). Have one in the morning and one in the afternoon and that should stop any 'withdrawl' symptoms.
Those big jars on amazon will last forever as well. I bought three of the plastic jars with 600g worth each, 18 months ago (because it was 3 minimum and the price was very on special). I've only got through about half of one. The other two will take me until 2032 to finish.

Tried making coldbrew in milk for the first time in my new coldbrew maker. Something like 1 to 12 ratio, kinda forgot for how long I kept it infusing.
Color and texture are pretty good, but the taste is a little too smokey. Old Kenyan beans, maybe that's why.

>>19620288
..actually texture was fire. Almost the same as those storebought icecoffee drinks, but without all the emulsifiers like carrageenan that give you cancer.
Got the recipe from here, because I was too dumb to calculate the ratios myself
