What are acceptable ranges of shot time and ratio to still be espresso? What I gathered from watching Hoffman is that it 2:1 in 30 seconds was a standard, and I had to stay pretty close to that. But asking questions in the last thread it seems like there's a wider band.

>>20327925
~2:1 in 30 seconds at 9 bar will (generally) give you a thick bodied shot for diluting out in various milk drinks, aka a "normale". Best used with easily extracted dark roast beans and low flow/high resistance baskets. If you're trying to make tasty straight espresso with non charcoal beans, don't be afraid to deviate. Here's a minute long 2.5:1 shot with ~25 seconds of preinfusion. Turns out that's still espresso. If he pulled another 15ml of liquid out, it would still be espresso.

What are some of the highest quality of instant coffee with caramel flavoring?

>>20327972
look no further

>>20327983
I am not looking for beverages. I am looking for instant coffee powder so I can make coffee at home.

Heres an idea. Dehydrate the iced coffees.

>bottom filter
Keeps coffee from entering the boiler and burning. Also helps distribute the coffee helping with even saturation of the 'puck'. Acts similar to a puck screen in an espresso portafilter.

>top filter
Provides a cleaner cup and helps to maximize extraction. Acts similar to a bottom filter in an espresso portafilter.

As I said in my other post, I prefer unfiltered moka, but paper filters have their place.

>>20328160
>Keeps coffee from entering the boiler and burning.
you dont understand how the moka works
that literally has never happened
>Provides a cleaner cup
you mean a tasteless cup?

>>20327876
I own a chemex. For years I have not made my own coffee and just go spend $3 a cup at starbucks because I have kept telling myself "I don't have a burr grinder or a gooseneck kettle" and rather than getting myself these things when I can, I just do not and continue to spend money I shouldn't be on kind of medicore coffee vs the super nice cup one can get out of a chemex.

One day, boys and girls, one day....

>>20328170
>that literally has never happened
Not a large amount, but a few particles in the boiler is almost inevitable without a bottom filter.

>>20328185
You don't NEED a gooseneck for pourover. Fill your regular kettle with no more water than you need for the brew and concentrate on pouring slowly and gently. 44 USD isn't bad for a P2.

>>20328218
never happened to me
i mean the water is coming up
how would coffee particles go down?
and if they do go down they are just going to get pushed back up

>i swear i'm not an actual retard

>>20328185
Starbucks is good desu. Any coffee is only as good as the barista but generally speaking they have a system in place that gets consistent good coffee no matter where you are in the country.

>>20327876
uwu I'm going to get dwunk again

>>20328436
I'm not a coffee fanatic, but imo Starbucks is consistently good but never great. What I love about Starbucks is that I can mobile-order my drink and know that (a) it'll be ready by the time I get to the place and (b) it'll be what I expect. Consistency is too often underrated.

This might be dumb but can I make a single serving of cold brew coffee by just leaving some grounds in cold water in a cafetiere? I know it's supposed to be concentrated but in theory it should work

>>20328597
idk
try it and report back

>>20328607

The fuck flavor is "iced tea", it's just tea that's cold. Cold isn't a flavor.

>Mmmyes I'm detecting delicate notes of orange blossom and iced tea in my coffee today
>No no no not hot tea you simpleton what do you think these beans are, Ethiopian? This is definitely iced tea notes

>>20328975
Perceiving flavors can be weird. I've got some puer that tastes like hot, iced sweet tea no matter how I brew it. Like a big gallon jug of Arizona sweet tea, but theres no sugar in my cup.
> it's just tea
What does "just tea" taste like? Pic somewhat related.

is the next purchase tim windelboe or coffee collective?

>>20329059
ThePickyChemist.

>>20328597
Yes. That should work.

>>20329097
why would I pay this much for a roaster with lesser reputation than the ones I mentioned?

>>20329168
Because they buy interesting crops? Probably the best roaster in belgium. Them or Mok.

>>20329182
But you recommended the roaster, not a product, help me out here, anything on the shelves that's exciting?

My moka brew today. I tried documenting best I could. Weights are estimates, when I'm brewing moka I try to forget about all that autistic nonsense of accuracy. It's just coffee.
Anyways, 6 cup Bialetti Venus, ~27g coffee ground at 40 clicks on p2, room temperature water up to the valve, no paper filters, medium heat on small gas burner. Total time on heat ~5:20 (320 seconds), coffee started coming out around 4:00 (240s), brew was stopped after 1:20 (80s) by placing moka into bowl of water. Somewhere around 180ml – 190ml of brewed coffee out.
The grind was a bit too fine in my opinion. I just got this grinder 2 weeks ago and I'm still playing around with the grind size.
On the left: top is before brewing, bottom is after brewing.
In the middle: the coffee in a 200ml cup, on the bottom you can see how much sediment was left over.
On the right: the particles that got into the boiler. This is what I'm trying to avoid when I use a bottom filter. I filled the basket while it was set in a small cup, tapped to level, then placed into the boiler. Had I filled and leveled the basket while it was in the boiler more coffee grinds would have gotten in there.
Final brew tasted like moka pot coffee.

>>20329186
You asked about two roasters, not their products. I gave a third option to consider. Window shopping is free. That €52.00/125g panama gesha is from a world class competition grade producer grown in a high altitude rainforest. Unique microclimate. One of the first to adopt carbonic maceration from the wine world about a decade ago, from the region where panama gesha first mutated. Thats why its significantly more expensive than the other listings.
>Finca Deborah is the home to the only Geisha to have ever won the World Barista Championship, Berg Wu in 2016
If you're looking for a new roaster to try, just snag those 3 new listings. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

>>20328975

>>20329189
>40 clicks on P2
Correction: it's 36 clicks (1 full rotation from touch point + 2 numbered steps, 1 numbered step is 3 clicks). Pardon the error.

>>20328170
>you mean a tasteless cup?
it'll add way more taste from higher extraction than it'll remove from filtering out oils that kill you, and those tastes are more desirable

>>20328889
So what I got was very fruity. The Guava note was more pronounced on my palate. Mild in Acidity, and somewhat of a light body. The aroma was mostly fruity/floral(Jasmine). The mouthfeel was smooth.

>>20327990
The best coffee that was ever made.

>>20329346
Nice! Enjoy it, those 100g bags go quick. Keep your eye out for that zou zhou yuan around december. I only snagged it because they had 35 bags of it and the thought of someone else not getting any made me smile :)

>>20327972
>highest quality of instant coffee with caramel flavoring?
they literally don't exist why not just buy caramel flavoring and specialty instant coffee separately if quality is genuinely something you care about?

I just got the kingrinder K6 as my first grinder, and I'm a little confused. Probably because I'm ESL and the Kingrinder guys are also ESL. When they say "120 clicks from zero" for the medium to medium-fine settings, zero means putting it as coarse as it goes, right?
So go counterclockwise as far as it goes, then 120 clicks clockwise? That just feels a little weird, because clockwise the numbers go 0-50-40-30-20-10, but maybe I'm interpreting the numbers wrong here.

>>20329541
>zero means putting it as coarse as it goes, right?
no
zero is when the burrs are touching
zero is the finest
(turn on subtitles)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNjneeAvSx8
and to see how much 1 click matters see this

>>20329551

Oh, fuck, I get it now. Zero being the finest makes the number on the paper they included make perfect sense.

Today's espresso, after getting a bunch of help yesterday. Upped the dose to 17 grams. I was shooting for 34 out but ended up with 36. Took about 35 seconds. Very full body, good flavor, but a little bitter. I'm going to try 16.5 grams later this morning.

>>20329765
hey i had that exact same fettuccine last week!

>>20329760
that looks like a good goff anon :)

Continuing to dial in. Upped the dose by 0.5 grams to 16.5. Pulled 33 grams in 29.5 seconds. Which is by far the closest I've gotten to the "standard" 2:1 in 30 seconds recipe. Thanks to everyone that helped answer my questions yesterday.

>>20329786
It was pretty yummy. I'm very new to espresso, so it's satisfying to get closer and closer to "good" espresso as I get things dialed in.

>>20329889
:)

>>20329889
Just keep in mind that recipes are for consistency. Has nothing to do with how well it's going to taste to you. Make something tasty then figure out how to do it again and again.

>>20330083
I thought it would be a good idea to be able to consistently hit 2:1 in 30 seconds since that is so widely recommended. And then start customizing to my own taste from there. I didn't want to be reinventing the wheel before I even understood the basics. But it seems like there is way more freedom in ratio and shot time than I thought.

i le sick :(
thats the last time i go to a cambodian coffee house...

>>20330173
>seems like there is way more freedom in ratio and shot time than I thought
Its all going to come down to your beans and what you like. Starbucks or other grocery tier "medium"-darks? Probably best at 1:2 @ 30s in milk. These days they're usually refered to as "boomer shots", popularized in italy in the 40s. Coffee quality is very different 80ish years later, so play around with it. Light roasts are harder to extract and do well at higher ratios. Extra flow through the puck extracts more. Wafo(high end $200+ basket maker) recommends
>From 1:3~1:20 will be recommended.(YES, 1:20 not a type error)
>High quality light roast beans can reach the high ratio.
and also posts shit like 30:38 @ 40s.

New beans bros. Washed mono indonesians.

>Indonesian coffee is renowned for its honey-like aromas, which give it a unique and delicious taste. It is grown in mountainous regions, where the climatic conditions and nutrient-rich soils contribute to its unique, complex flavour. The main producing regions are Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi, which are famous for their exceptional coffees.

>The growing methods used on coffee plantations in Indonesia are unique and also contribute to the distinct flavour of the coffees produced. For example, the 'Giling Basah' method, used in Sumatra, involves removing the outer pulp of the coffee plant while it is still wet, which creates a sweeter, fruitier flavour. The 'Semi-washing' method, used in the mountainous regions of Java, involves removing part of the pulp from the still-moist coffee tree, which also contributes to a sweeter, fruitier taste.

>In terms of recommendations, Indonesian coffee is ideal for espresso and filter. Its honey flavours blend perfectly with espresso to create a full-bodied, delicious drink, while in filter it offers a smoother, more complex tasting experience. In summary, Indonesian coffee is an ideal choice for coffee lovers looking for a unique and complex tasting experience, with honey aromas and a distinct flavour. It is also an excellent option for coffee lovers looking for a full-bodied espresso beverage or a milder filter experience.

Genuine tasty thicc nutty caramelo sip. No distinguishable acidity. No overwhelming bitterness. Cuppa leaves pleasant lingering aftertaste.

I actually met the dude since he was the guest roaster for the only coffeeshop I frequent in Brussels. Pretty chill autistic full time chemist who started roasting as a hobby, probably got popular enough to devote more time to it.

I bought “speciality” coffee beans and it tastes like cardboard and battery acid even if I go so fine that I almost choke the espresso machine. Not sure what to do with them now because I hate acidity and these Ugandan beans have too much. I am just gonna stick to medium-dark from now on…

Cold brew for tomorrow

My ability to steam milk is super shit again, making very little foam. Do I need to keep the wand barely submerged/right on the surface for longer?

They're shilling the zp6 with strange handle, I guess this means amazon release. I wonder what these germans have achieved with that, their grinders are still massively overpriced

Huh, this is the least amount of particles that I've seen in my boiler after an unfiltered brew. 40 clicks on P2 (for real this time), on the heat for 5:20, coffee out in 1:20. Tasted pretty much the same as last time, with a similar amount of sediment left at the bottom of the cup. The 'puck' looks a little worse, thoughever.

So to answer a previous question, this is the amount I drink 2x a day

Is this the reason for my tummy troubles?

looking to buy a grinder and i heard a k6 would cover me for everything
there are two listings on amazon one for around 88 quid but is out of stock and another for 126 quid dont know if im supposed to wait for the former or if its just never going to come back at that price

>>20336920
No sir, I transfered it to a thermos, and brought that and a mug up to the tip of the mountain.

>>20337092
sounds lovely
>>20337085
i dont know anything about euro amazon but it does go on sale with some regularity in the states so id assume the same here

>>20337085
Also look on AliExpress. They're running some discounts right now.

>>20337178
How do I tell which is the actual legit listing on there? It all looks like various Canal Street knockoffs.

>>20337242
I go by number of orders and hope for the best. Kingrinder is a chinese company that's kind of an off shoot and kind of a knock off of 1zpresso. I'm not aware of any Kingrinder knock offs at the moment. I got my K6 from "Jaffee" on Aliexpress and it seems legit to me, although I have nothing to compare it to.

What's the most reasonable brand of pre-ground coffee (that would be available at a typical supermarket) to keep around for the few occasions I want coffee? I'm a tea person for the most part, and I'm not too discerning with coffee. I just need something that will taste "okay" by itself.

>>20339429
wat?

Good morning ladies and gents :)
Work from home up in the mountains today, and I'm rocking single origin, organic Ethiopian. No kettle so I had to make the chemex dumping water from a pot.

I like to order from S&W coffee, someone suggested them from here and they are so good and their prices cant be beat imo. Are there any others that are just as good price wise and quality per price?

yep this is going to be a week or 2 of sick
:(

>>20339459
They're called "Splendid" pots
Instead of the whole top screwing on, you just have a top carafe that sits on a flat base with your water, filter, and grinds, with a gooseneck spout that feeds the coffee into the carafe's mouth

Tried Starbucks coffee for the first time today. Ordered a "grande whole milk latte" because that's the minimum size with 2 shots espresso by default. The employee misheard and I was given an oat milk latte. I didn't feel the need to correct the mistake. "Whatever", I thought, "I've never had warm oat milk in coffee before. Maybe it's good?" Also, I didn't tip when prompted, and I did not intend to tip if they corrected the mistake. The drink tasted like warm oat water with a touch of coffee flavour. I was left with a strange bitter-oat after taste after every sip. Next time I think I'll order a "tall double shot latte" and correct any mistakes. I do not intend to drink Starbucks oat beverage again.

>>20340659
Yeah I'd rather my carafe not explode while it fills with brew

>>20340474
If you look closely, the gooseneck is dual-purpose, it has a knob that, when turned, converts it from coffee spout into a steamer for your milk

>>20341051

there is no way that actually works

What are some recommended grinders for the Bambino?

>>20342129
DF64 [v2] and Niche Zero would be my two picks

>>20342681
Manual grinders can suck my dick, nobody should bother with them unless they're expressly for the purpose of travel, and even then I question the benefit of grinding your own coffee at all when traveling because you're fucking traveling and the priority is to pack light, it's okay to drink hotel coffee it won't kill you.

I prefer Ethiopian beans they tend to have notes of grasshopper and fermented scorpion.

Genuine question. Can I just double up the Aeropress recipes in the pastebin to get more coffee at once? I got my first Aero, grinder, etc. and it definitely tastes better than what I was drinking, but it is so little.

>>20342794
Double the microplastics?

>>20342799
Literally every action you perform on this earth will result in you consuming microplastics one way or another. Thank your grandpa. Also, who lurks a coffee general on 4chan to be snarky. What a fucking loser.

Takes five seconds to find the temperature yield and type of plastic it adheres to. Seek education.

Nothing better than a nice cup of warm coffee

I’m in rehab so it’s that dirt cheap friendly coffee that’s really mild

>>20343090
Reformed coffee snob Anon, here
Yes it's all in there, and how it's prepared can have an effect on how the flavors develop, and different roasts and blends are better suited for different brewing methods
Even what you drink the coffee out of will affect it
But
It's still completely fucking retarded spend the money on booze or bullets or beef or pussy anything else, seriously

>>20342666
>Moka pots suck
skill issue

>>20343112
Why cant i taste it then? should i try autismpress for more consistent results?
I spent 6 months on a very specific pussy and now my life is ruined so ill stick to coffee

>>20343090
Both probably. Tasting things is hard. Its definitely a skill to develop. That wilfa isn't doing you any favors either. You could also just have shitty water that's muting your brews.
>sipping on a nice peachy lemongrassy ethiopian

>>20343124
break it down into more basic flavors dude
fruity/sour, bitter, nutty, etc.
people make shit up like this retard too >>20343133

>>20343124
>Why cant i taste it then?
could be a number of things. you could be a tastelet. try cupping.
im currently on onyx's rwanda natural that has lime, dark chocolate, plum, and hibiscus notes and the first recipe i used didnt bring out the choco notes but the second did.

>>20343163

>>20343124
You have to eat a bunch of stuff by itself to be able to ID it in other flavors
Stuff like dried fruit, fresh fruit, herbs, spices, even shit like lemon pepper, you just eat it as-is
Like alchemy in Skyrim get chompin

Is that what the anon who always says "x is dogshit" had to go thru?

Can anyone recommend some nice servers? I want to upgrade from the Hario server I got with the v60.

How does LA have a total hardness of 80 ppm CaCO3 while simultaneously containing 118 ppm CaCO3?

>>20343728
CaCO3 equivalent.
>Many municipal water supplies post regular water reports which can be found by googling “town name water report”. The key factors to look for are general hardness (GH) and alkalinity (KH). In the United States, this is often reported as parts per million (aka mg/L of CaCO3 equivalent).
>Hardness: The concentration of Magnesium and Calcium combined will give the total hardness. More hardness will more easily extract coffee compounds from the coffee beans.
>Alkalinity: This will add more buffer. A higher alkalinity number will help reduce acidity.

>>20334024
Youre supposed to know cause thats where quality/consistency/standard comes in. Lmfao. Dumb female thing to say. Typical

>nice caffeine buzz, no adverse effects, just vibing
What could possibly cause this? I used to drink ungodly amounts of coffee until a few years ago when this started. I still prefer the taste of coffee, but have switched to decaf for the flavor while getting my caffeine from black tea instead since it doesn't seem to trigger this weird adrenaline dump.

>>20344680
what happens if you add L-theanine to cour coffee?

"pumpkin spice" is just vanilla with nutmeg and it angers me greatly that nobody has come out with a true Pumpkin-Pie-flavored creamer

I need to try their beans.

this is the longest i have been without coffee in ages.
what is the longest you have been without coffee?

>>20345164
i want a sweet potato pie coffee flavored creamer

>>20345210
It needs to be Indonesian cinnamon specifically, as that's the kind that was used in classic American baking recipes

>>20327876
Love coffee. Hate making it myself. Fortunately, I have a lot of coffee shops in the area.

Any good coffee shops near you?

>>20345250
Good for you, Anon. Got anything specific in mind to drink once you're recovered?

>>20345285
mmmmm idk im going to bed now so maybe it will be revealed to me in my dreams :)

I scrubbed the inside of my moka pot with a scouring pad because it smelled bad. Will it ruin the taste of my coffee? I do this with my stainless steel pan but it doesn't ruin the taste of food. I'm wondering if this also applies for coffee. Any anons here have done this before?

3 weeks new to coffee, got my first hand grinder today. I'm trying for a coarse grind for my French Press.
What level of coarseness would you say this is? Would this level of coarseness be good for a French Press.

>>20346608
it can be hard to gauge coarseness from photos but that looks like it should be good for cafetiere
check your gridners manual, it probably has rough guidelines in microns
>>20346012
i see no reason to worry, give it a shot and let us know

>absolutely love the smell/aroma of coffee
>don't particularly care for drinking it and hate consuming any form of caffeine

wot do

>>20346659
buy/make coffee scrub and use it every day

anyone else get headaches drinking coffee from shitty machines from hotels/restaurants? I’ve had 2 so far that were 100% caused by some shitty automated coffee machine, I don’t know if it was robusta beans or moldy pipes or what, I’m never drinking that shit again

tora's gift shop might close down "soon" as i talked to her a couple weeks ago and she said as soon as her current stock is gone shes going to retire.
so if you had time, to get some cat mugs and stuff
just wanted to give a heads up

>>20347811
Fuck, okay. Thank you for letting me know. I repaired the green mug BTW it looks brand new. Long shot do you know if she is open this long weekend?
