>>6226220
2 cup hot coffee
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp coconut oil

Cream and sugar. I have shit taste, I know.

I also like those sugary creamers like coffeemate and such. Dessert coffee makes me weak.

I've thrown in some pumpkin spices too, pretty tasty. The shit from starbucks is too bitter for me. Homemade is, as always, much better.

>>6226242
this fatty puts butter in his coffee y'all lmao

Cold brew
Black

>tastes like dark chocolate

>>6226220
Black. Sometimes with a little brown sugar.

>>6226253
>y'all
sweet tea isn't exactly good for you either

Typically with a little milk and sugar. But I love iced coffee. But typically I just drink black espresso

Straight out of this bad boy and a dash of mil with it.
4-10 cups a day, depending.

>>6226242
When I had my espresso machine working my usual cup was a double shot flat white. Now I use my Aeropress it's just black.

Anyone on /ck/ roast? Thinking of ordering some green beans, picking up a popcorn marker and trying it out soon.

>>6226242
Must be drinking some shitty ass stale coffee if you need to dilute it with butter and coconut oil.

>>6226694
> 4 - 10 cups a day
Finally someone I can relate to!

I like mine strong and bitter, preferably from home ground and pressed beans. Dash of milk to take off the sharp edge and sugar when I need a pick me up.

>>6226220
I LIKE MY COFFEE LIKE I LIKE MY WOMEN, STRONG AND BLACK

Strong skinny flat white with 1–2 tsp of sugar, depending on the blend and my taste buds.

7 sugars, the sweet tooth is real

>>6227271
I like my coffee like I like my women, black and bitter.

Strong and black, though sometimes I add something like half a teaspoon of raw sugar.
Never milk, cream or cream substitute though.

half mug of hot milk
rest is strong coffee
so basically a flat white but only half milk.. no sugar or cream or any of that shit

Strong coffee with about two inches of steamed heavy cream and no sugar.

The best.

>>6226220
White with one, please.

That's how I answer the question when I'm a guest in someone's home for the first time and don't know how they brew their coffee. It's a safe bet.

I can't imagine why someone would ask me how I like my coffee unless they were making it for me.

I enjoy all coffee, but my favorite drink would be a Cappuccino with 5-6% milk

black

like midnight on a moonless night

>>6226220
>How do you like your coffee?

1/2 mug of Maxwell House Original Roast, 1 tsp Big Chief beet sugar, 1/2 tsp Coffee Mate powered creamer.

I grind my beans and brew it in a French press and then 99% of the time drink it black. After I take the time to prep everything I don't really think its right to cover my work with creamers or sugar.
I keep buying dark roasts despite thinking I'll get something different, I guess I'm more okay with risking getting burnt beans because I've smoked too many cigarettes to care

Strong with a lot of cream usually half and half. Til it's a nice caramel color. I used to take sugar but now just make it strong and creamy. Mmmmmm coffee.....

>>6228921

>>6229034
>i enjoy dark roasts

>>6229862
Dark roasts are shit but that's not a fedora thing.

>>6229867
Everyone now knows that light/medium is the way to go

>>6229871
I like light myself, but dark roasts are usually just bought by idiots who fell for clever marketing than anything.

>>6229871
I haven't found a light roast that wasn't too acidic for me

medium is the best way to go

I've almost completely switched to exclusively black coffee for ease of use. If i had more time I'd take my more savory coffee's coming from Central/South America with cream and no sugar. I would take those in the more acidic African varieties with a unrefined, caramel noted sugar.

>>6229862
Why does having refined taste automatically make someone a hipster?

holy shit i want one of these

Hey /ck/, how do I get into coffee? I've made it through my days without it, but I feel like I might want an extra kick. You know, that stuff everyone drinks. Now I've had a bit of it before on a few occasions, and I understand that coffee is an acquired taste. But are there any ways to go on about getting used to it faster? What would you suggest I do to get my palate used to coffee?

>>6232344
understand that coffee isn't supposed to be bitter. go to a speciality coffee shop and order either a filter coffee or an americano (also known as a long black). drink it. it won't be bitter

>>6232445
>understand that coffee isn't supposed to be bitter

I thought everyone knew this

If your coffee's bitter you ain't doing it right

It's supposed to taste roasty, like it smells, and be good with a little sugar

anything else is additional flavoring but good coffee can be good in its simplest form.

>>6226242
>muh bulletproof coffee

how about you cook your food with coco oil instead and enjoy your coffee pure without anything added?

>>6232704
I like to laugh at the bulletproof fags too, but I think the alleged point of it is that you get a bolus of slow digesting fat in your food so you won't feel hungry for a long time after "breakfast"

it's like a kind of fasting, or something.

I absolutely despise coffee unless it's diluted with milk and sugar, but only drink black coffee anyways because muh calories.

>>6232720
yeah, it's a fad diet thing. if you eat clean and exercise regularly, then you don't ever even have to think about that kind of stuff.

>>6232748
oh and i forgot to say,

I used to take mine with lots of cream and sugar before I actually liked coffee, but now I take it black with just a little bit of sugar to round out the bitterness.

Why is Folgers so shit?

>>6226242
>butter

In coffee?

Isn't that something they do in Norway? (one of the scandinavian countries)

What does it add to the flavour and texture of the coffee?

Is any brand of instant coffee/shop bought granules acceptable?

I just drink black coffee. never had any fancier drinks or real espresso. Also, looking for a new bag of beans, really liked the kenyan beans i got a while ago, if anyone has any good recs. I used to drink dark roasts but then started drinking med-dark and liked them better; going to try more medium roasts now.

>>6235320
Yes there totally is. Unless they're super good quality beans, strong black coffee is putrid swill that people only drink because they think it makes them "dark and edgy and experienced and cultured."

It's the same thing with beer snobs and super hoppy microbrews. "Woah, look at me, don't I know a lot about beer by stifling my gag reflex on this crap beer that I actually hate but want to show off my depth of taste."

Real food patricians don't force themselves to like things.

You haven't had a coffee made properly with one then. Light roasts made well are sweet and juicy.

Yes, I drink black coffee when I'm by myself/it's obscured by a lid so I can show off. Flawless logic.

You know, I used to think I couldn't understand the whole Bulletproof coffee thing. But it turns out I did all along -- there is nothing better than a cup of black coffee and a butter croissant to dip in it. That buttery explosion combined with the coffee is the most pleasant taste imaginable on a Monday morning.

Depends on the quality of the coffee. If it's fresh and brewed properly (not bitter) I can drink it black or with some milk for colour. Usually I just drink whatever drip garbage we have for free at work, so 1 milk & 1 sugar is necessary to cut the dishwater flavour. I like the occasional pumpkin spice or latte, but I find as I get older I prefer something less sweet.

I used to work in a chain coffee shop a number of years ago and I was disgusted by the amount of cream & sugar people put in their coffee. Like we're talking 4x4's where literally half the cup was cream and sugar. I'm no purist, but if you hate the taste of actual coffee that much maybe you shouldn't be drinking it.

When I first started drinking coffee, I'd drink it black because I thought it'd make me cool.

Unfortunately, I'd also have a shit brew and fucked up my stomach for some time.

After a long stint of tea only, I went back.

Now I add just a bit of cream (milk doesn't taste right) and a teaspoon or less of sugar. Biggest difference is in my brewing, though.

All's right with the world.

>>6232445
>understand that coffee isn't supposed to be bitter.
>go to a speciality coffee shop and order either [one of the two most bitter coffees that they could make]
I believe you are trolling, sir.

>>6232344
If you've already tried coffee but didn't like it then there's no real reason to force yourself to like it. Drink what you do like instead.
But it's possible that you may have tried a bad coffee and it would be unfair to judge all coffee on that bad experience. So my advice is to go to specialty coffee shop (no chain stores like Starbucks) and order a flat white coffee. Try that and see if you like it.
I'd recommend the flat white over an espresso because espresso can be a bit strong for new coffee drinkers who haven't acquired a taste for coffee yet. It's espresso that is diluted with steamed milk. If they made it right, and you don't like it, then just accept that coffee isn't for you.

>>6232214
I got an aeropress from my dad for Christmas and I used it, like, once. I liked the coffee it brewed, but it seemed to take quite a while to set up and whatnot.

Any tips? Or does the process become more or less automated when you get used to it?

Typically milk and sugar.

Occasionally cream, sugar and dark chocolate (my favorite).

I almost always cool it.
I seldom have hot coffee. Not a big fan.

Very rarely will I ever have it black.

>>6237421
You might just be going to shit coffeehouses with teenagers working the counter

To me, if a coffee is bitter it's not worth paying for it.

>>6226220

Depends on the situation. If I'm having coffee alongside a meal, then plain black is best. By itself, with equal amounts of cream and sugar. Going with sweet food, it gets a splash of cream no sugar.

>>6237421
>implying americano is bitter
Holy shit what? I have never heard of such a thing. If an americano is bitter then they fucked up making the espresso or the drinker has babby tatste buds. I've never had filter coffee though, so maybe you're right on that one.

>>6237436
>does the process become more or less automated when you get used to it?
Pretty much, The time it takes for my kettle to boil usually is enough to get it ready.
I dont bother grinding every time, I just grind 4 cups worth of beans in the morning and keep it in an airtight to use when needed.

I like it cold press with lots of ice, lots of cream and lots of sugar with a pinch of sea salt.

>>6237520
>making assumptions

I'm not saying you have to approve but I've yet to find a better way to start the day besides coffee and a cigarette. I like how the tastes combine, but yeah it's still terrible for you so I've stopped smoking. Now I just like strong dark coffee to remind me how I used to abuse myself with chain smoking. And of course smoking ruins your taste buds so I always liked my coffee strong to compensate for that, and then I just acquired a taste for it that way.

It's a case of burning the coffee when it comes out, or when it hits the hot water in the cup.

Yes, you can burn coffee in the cup if the cup is too hot. I've done it, it's embarassing and worse than an over-roasted bean because there's no hint of coffee, just tire rubber.

I like it warm not hot.

It doesn't smell very good (reminds me of cheap plastic) but it tastes fine black. I'm sure the kind of people who drink Folger's just load it with cream and sugar anyway.

My favorite drink is an Americano. How strong should it be, though? I make them just slightly stronger than standard drip coffee, but I've seen pictures that look just slightly bigger than a couple of shots of plain espresso?
I have a couple more questions for my coffee bros, i-if that's okay...

You just aren't extracting enough. Lighter roasted coffee will be more dense and less extractable than a more darkly roasted coffee (also, because of the degradation of the cell structure with increased roasting, darker roasts will actually produce more fine particles than a light roast at the same grind setting, leading to higher extraction still).

Good quality coffee is better at lighter roasts generally, with a low limit being somewhere around the start of first crack. Most dark roasted coffee is roasted darkly because of roaster ignorance, green bean quality defects, or a combination of the two. Most coffee of sellable quality will taste about the same if it goes well into second crack. That flavour is primarily carbon and dark caramel. Gross.

Lightly roasting coffee allows for the nuance of the terroir, cultivar, and processing to shine through.

>>6232344

There are a few routes.

First, you can go to local cafes in your area that serve good coffee. Look for single origin coffee, and that means that it can be traced to a farm ideally. If it just says "costa rica" or something like that, it is a regional blend, and probably you are not in a good cafe.

When you are at the cafe, try a few of their brewed coffees, if they are great they may even offer a tasting flight. That will allow you to try a few coffees at once. This is important. I have found that the most eye opening thing for people getting into coffee is for them to try many coffees side by side at once. Through the contrast, you will understand just how different coffees can be.

The other path is to dive right in, and buy yourself a good burr grinder (don't bother skimping here, or you will be dissatisfied until you buy better or give up), some good water (get distilled water, and add filtered tap water to it in a 2-8 part distilled water to 1 part filtered water ratio, depending on your water hardness (aim for around 70-130 ppm)) and buy a few coffees from good roasters. I'd say try Blue Bottle, Stump Town, Ritual and see what you like and go from there. Try a coffee from central america, ethiopia, kenya, and indonesia (sulawesi in particular). Try to order them all at once so you can compare them. Look up how to do a cupping, and cup them. I recommend a baratza encore for your first grinder.

>>6235320
>strong black coffee

You don't need a dark roast to be strong, in fact, darker roasts eventually destroy enough extractables that even with the same extraction parameters will lead to a thinner cup.

Buy good quality coffee and brew it correctly.

>>6235391
Ristretto is a poor way to prepare espresso. You cannot possibly prepare an espresso with a brew ratio below 2:1 (ristretto being below 1.5:1 commonly) and have an extraction yield over 18%. You will inevitably have a very intense, but sour and probably very bitter espresso. At best you will hit the first hump of 15-16% extraction yield, and get a fruit forward but unbalanced espresso.

>>6227271

I like my coffee the opposite of how I like my women (and neighbours, and friends, and people within my general vicinity): black

black. medium roast. 120F. French press preferred. If it's anywhere above 135F I add cream.

I like my coffee freshly ground with some chicory, brewed in the ol' fashioned drip pot, and maybe with a little cream if I am feeling fancy.

It's great with homemade yeast doughnuts or beignets.

>>6247259
>120f
What? You are underextracting your coffee. If it tastes bad above 120f, you are doing a few things wrong.

>>6226220

BITTER?!?!?!

If you grind the beans fresh before making it, extract by espresso or french press, it won't be bitter.

Coffee shops suck for the most part.

Pour over / paper filter / drip is probably the worst for bitter. Stop doing that.

Why doesn't everyone just use a French Press? It's easy, quick, cheap, tastes good. WTF? Someone explain this shit to me.

>>6247434
Because you can make good tasting pour-over coffee. Also, french press will leave unpleasant sediment in the cup.

i've been roasting in a popper for about a year and it's always been really good. sometimes i'd roast darker than i prefer (i like to stay away from second crack) but just the fact that it was quality fresh coffee made it better than any store stuff. i'm using a behmor now which is definitely better but kinda expensive.

Folgers, Maxwell House, Yuba, and similar instant coffees are made from coffee beans harvested from from Robusta plants. Compared to the Arabica beans used in most specialty (good) coffee, Robusta plants are much hardier, produce many more beans per plant, and their beans have twice the caffeine of Arabica beans. This typically makes for a stronger cup, and the plants lend themselves to large-scale coffee industry. Furthermore, because the beans have been ground up and treated ahead of time to dissolve instantly, a great deal of their organic compounds are lost by the time you open your tub.

I need help figuring something out.

So I like making myself coffee in the morning, but I rarely have time to drink it all before I have to leave for work. I've got a french press that I get a good two cups out of.

Everything tastes fine when I drink it at home. Even an hour or so after brewing it still tastes mostly alright. I can still taste what the beans are supposed to taste like, it's just a little cold and overexposed from the little bit of grounds that snuck into the container.

However, if I put that coffee in a thermos and take it to work with me, it tastes like shit. I only live 10 minutes from work and it still tastes worse than the cold stuff that sat on my counter for an hour. I've tried plastic and metal thermoses. I've tried brewing and immediately leaving to see if I'm taking extra time and not realizing it. I've tried pouring it back out into a ceramic mug when I get to work to be sure it's not just the lack of nose when drinking from a thermos. Nothing works. The shit's fucking tainted and I don't know why. The thermoses are clean. Hand washed. I've even tried putting the coffee in one and drinking it at home. It tastes just fine. I don't understand.

Milk, no sugar.

>>6253923
it's hot in the thermos so it keeps brewing

I don't.

I love a splash of coffee in my hazelnut coffee mate

Light roast 2cups, sweet with cane sugar and cold stone creamery creamer. On certain days I take it irish with a joint.

I once got a dick shape in my coffee but I was too embarrassed to mention it to the barista in case it wasn't intentional.
I'm pretty fucking sure it was though.

Just depends on my mood and the brand of coffee. My preference for roast never changes (dark), but sometimes I take it black, sometimes I put a little milk, others I'll put a splash of cocoa powder or flavored creamer in it.

I have been trying to make microfoam milk with an aerolatte using this tutorial but the bottom half of the milk is still liquidy. How do you do it?

I like my coffee like I like my women: hot and full of liquor.

I like my coffe like I like my slaves: free.


Generally I drink it black, brewed as a pourover. However, with darker roasts that have a hint of chocolateyness to them, I think the milk complements fairly well if I don't use too much.

>french press

I recently bought one, but my coffee is too watery and not at all strong/creamy. I'm using the measuring cups that came with the french press, and following its instructions. what am I doing wrong ?

>>6258113
what do the instructions say? and do you grind your own beans?

>>6258119
it's a tiny french press for two cups max, I live on my own so that's alright (made of glass)

instructions say: one cup of roughly ground beans per cup of coffee. add hot water and let it sit for 4 minutes, then press down and pour. I ground my own beans, yes.

>>6258128
at around the 3:30 mark, use a spoon to get rid of the crust at the top. then press down and pour.

>>6226220
Am I in a hurry? Then I don't give a shit.
Am I at home? Turkish coffee, always.

>>6258139
i'm trying this on tuesday. pretty excited.

>>6258139
Hell yes, love it. There's a mosque nearby my house(only one in the city) and they have a cheap but excellent restaurant there. They know me there and it's always a chill athmosphere so I go there every day after work for a coffee and baklava.

>>6258134
and this will make my coffee less watery (like tea) and more full like actual coffee, how ?

>>6258128
Do the instructions define how large a cup of coffee is? It might be smaller than a regular liquid measuring cup.

>>6258161
i don't know if it will, but it will be an improvement upon your current method.

>>6258142
It's quite easy to make:
>grind coffee into dust
>heaping tablespoon for quarter cup water
>mix water and coffee before heating, heat slow, don't stir
>serve when it starts foaming, crema will form on its own
Don't drink the grinds.

>>6258162
it's supposed to have enough space for 2 cups max, so half of the content should fill a cup, and my cup is the perfect size for it. so I don't think the coffee cup size is the issue, for the coffee grind, I use the cup they included.

>>6258166
i don't have a pestle and mortar

>>6258166
>heaping tablespoon
*teaspoon, whoops

>>6227271
I also like my coffee like I like my women -- stuffed into a burlap sack and transported illegally out of South America

>>6256905
what the heck are you talking about? the milk has been steamed and the foam looks absolutely goddamn velvety.

there isn't a gram of sugar in that thing

>>6258281
i don't think he thought sugar had been added to the milk. milk is naturally sweet.

>>6226694
my nigger.

only OG's drink their filter coffee black

>>6227271
I also like my coffee like I like my women: white and sweet

>>6258113
I generally do 500g water for 27g beans, can't remember where I got this but it seems to work fine.

If you can, and don't have a grinder of your own, get it ground a step coarser than espresso. The muddiness of the brew will be greatly reduced.

like my slaves

>>6259296
yeaaaa mellita here! I dig it but I really want one of those Chemex ones

My usual order at dunkin donuts
Extra large coffee
Extra extra extra sugar
Extra extra cream.
