How do you do that? I'm not sure how to visualize. To my understanding grinding uses an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool, akin to milling, so I'm a bit confused. Sorry if it's a dumb question.

Oh I see, thanks for clarifying! It makes more sense to me now. Given the context I'd say you're describing 'crushing' not 'grinding', which is why I was confused.

[Anonymous No.11028889]

I use pic related, Fellow Duo. It's really just a glorified french press powered by gravity. Way too expensive for what it is, but I got it as a gift a few years ago and I use it every day. Watching the coffee pour down the side of the glass is satisfying. Turns out it's great for cold brew, as well.

Cleanup isn't bad. Easier than a french press in my opinion. Metal portion is two pieces, with a metal filter inside, and the glass screws off. I got a reuseable drip filter that I dump all the used grounds into, then just rinse off the metal parts. I'll wash it with soap maybe once a week. Minimal staining after three years of constant use, with grounds sitting inside for a day at a time.

>The actual coffee matters more than the method.

This, however the method is also important.

Also coffee snob-ness isn't really a thing, it is actually a taste thing. This isn't like fine wine tasting, the taste actually does make a difference.

Think of it like beer tasting. Sure to the uninitiated all beer will taste the same regardless of how high quality or how well-crafted it is. However a regular beer drinker will seek better flavor or will have a preference, but sure he might drink a bud light or budweiser in a social setting every once in a while. As you drink more, your palette develops better and you are able to taste the small differences. Same thing with coffee, you can start with store-bought Folger's, Maxwell house, starbucks, etc., but as you get used to it, if you try single origin coffee or even coffee from your local roaster, you will notice a difference and it will taste better to you.

I prefer the taste and ease of a french press but the pour over makes clean up so easy since you just throw out the filter with the grounds in it.

[Anonymous No.11029635]

>>11029423
This is a fair analogy. There's some incremental science behind the method, but the method only exists so people can tailor coffee to their preferences. So it does boil down to personal taste in the end, if you like it then it's fine. No one's actually snobbish about that unless they're an ass to begin with.

We're here to enjoy coffee!

>>11030242
Taste is very subjective so it's hard to really pinpoint the individual nuances between the two until you try it yourself.

The primary differences resides in how the grinds interact with your brew. French press coffee is typically bolder and stronger because of submersion, it picks up more oils from the grinds as well as grit. Same reason a dark roast really shines with this method.

On the other hand, pour over produces a much cleaner and dynamic flavor palette because there's more control in extraction and how the brew is filtered. This type of brewing can really help bring out the subtle flavors of different coffee blends if that's something you look for.

i put it in the dishwasher or hit it with some steel wool now and again but no worse than a regular moka really, you just have to keep the valve bit clean and leave it to soak/dry after use or i'll get clogged up eventually and can be a bit harder to clean.

it's shorthand for 30 second bloom. when you pour hot water over the ground beans they swell and release built up co2 from the roasting process which causes everything to expand and foam up, that's bloom. so you pour in some water let the blooming happen for 30 seconds without pouring extra water in then pour in rest of water. .

For the most part, coffee shops are independently owned and large chains usually are nothing special, honestly just google "coffee roasters near me" and try to find something that looks promising. And as far as blends go it comes to taste but single origin beans usually give you the best flavor clarity, blends are usually profiled to taste as balanced as possible, but that's not always the case.

[Anonymous No.11037453]

>>11035005
i would say only get chemex if you make bigger batches at once, and get an aeropress as well. Electric goosenecks make your pourover a better, but a thermometer will also suffice as long as you have a gooseneck. Make sure you put most of your focus into the grinder, as the actual method wind matter if your grinder sucks

[Anonymous No.11037540]

>>11037453
I have an aeropress already. What would you recommend then for smaller batches?

[Anonymous No.11037557]

>>11037540
v60, I have a chemex as well but from what I hear the filter style causes uneven extraction

[Anonymous No.11037568]

>>11037557
That's an interesting claim, where did you hear that about the Chemex?

[Anonymous No.11037616]

>>11037568
It's the fact that there are three folds in front and one in the back meaning half the bed is going to be drawn through thicker paper, and the other half will be less extracted comparatively. I'm honestly not sure if it actually has that much of an effect, but the v60 is also cheaper and if it really does make better coffee then I would suggest going with that. The chemex does really well for large batches though if you ever plan on brewing for multiple people, and honestly it tastes great in my opinion.

[Anonymous No.11037654]

>>11037616
Thanks for clarifying, I can see how that idea came to fruition. I don't think that's how extraction works though. The filter doesn't extract, it filters oils and sediment. So maybe it doesn't filter as evenly by a certain standard but to my understanding that's intentional for the end cup.

Personally would recommend a newbie the Kalita wave over the v60 because of how forgiving it is. v60 is my favorite brewer but your results suffer noticeably with a bad pour.

[Anonymous No.11037670]

>>11037654
This is according to Scott Rao, who is a professional. Again, I think it tastes fine I was just giving a suggestion based on an experienced person's opinion. I wouldn't shy away from something just because it's "more difficult" because how else are you going to learn? You need to make a bad cup or two to understand what makes it bad and it gives you a skill to develop. If you're looking for ease of use then yeah I would say go Wave or Beehouse

[Anonymous No.11037681]

>>11037654
>>11037670
Also I worded that poorly but I know the filter isn't extracting, but the fact that half the bed has greater resistance on the drawdown, it'll take longer to percolate and therefore extract more than the other half

[Anonymous No.11037740]

I was just interested in the reasoning, thanks. I don't entirely trust a lot of professionals when they comment on these things since they operate on pseudo-science and often have their own brand-oriented agenda at play. Plus, most of them don't even drink coffee for pleasure anymore (rao included). I'm a scientist so it's a habit for me to challenge everything to a degree, apologies if I came off abrasive towards you.

I'm not the original poster asking for advice but I think either suggestion is fine, two paths to the same goal. I favor incremental growth if it means I can have higher quality results overall. They're both good brewers though!

[Anonymous No.11037756]

Honestly I was skeptical of his opinion in the first place and I've seen it parroted here, I would be really interested in an actual objective comparison between them as I don't feel like picking up a v60 just to try for myself.

Kits are good for getting the basics, but you're gonna want to invest heavily in a grinder because that gives you more ability to expand your set up from there, if you don't mind spending a little more, id suggest looking into espresso capable hand grinders like lido e, helor, or comandante or at the very least a baratza encore.

Nice setup in picture - same setup I use to brew my own coffee. Dosage looks about right - myself, I make sure the water is between 195 F (91 C) and 205 F (96 C) before pouring. For me, the coffee must be organic. However, lately, I have become to lazy to pour my own coffee so I use the coffee in picture. I strongly dislike Nestlé but there is no other organic crystal-coffee available where I live.

wrong, I use a metal filter and it comes out more like pour-over with paper, than it does to french brew. It still has far less oils than it in a french brew. Still tastes cleaner with a paper filter, but it still makes a much better cup than a french brew.
If you're so concerned of oils you can add a small piece of paper towel at the bottom to absorb most of it.

Only in different extraction methods like immersion vs percolation do you see really distinct flavor characteristics, the differences within these styles among different brewers aren't really drastically significant, though you might find you prefer one to another.

I agree, if all you need is a caffeine dose why even force yourself to drink garbage you don't enjoy? I understand not everyone cares about getting specialty coffee brewed well, but at what point do you stop to think about why you're drinking stale, wasteful, costly trash that you hate?

[Anonymous No.11051993]

Can't be helped. I personally would take instant or commodity drip brew over the burned catpiss or artificial creamer-mountain watered down shit that most popular chains serve. Drip brew/instant is already a fast process. No need for shitty DRM cups with artificial flavors sprinkled in.

Managed to grab a lactic process Gesha from Onyx... pretty fucking interesting.

Currently going through a Gesha and Wush Wush from Brandywine Roasters

Tetsu V60 is definitely worth it for the coffee autist. Coarse ground coffee with a specialized dripper. Clearest cup of coffee I’ve had packed with all the flavor

How is the wush wush? I was interested in trying it

[Anonymous No.11053916]

So I went to my local roaster and tried a variety of beans. Most of them were pretty weak as in they tasted kinda diluted. They have very expensive looking equipment and roast/grind their beans there. Is this how good coffee is supposed to taste? I honestly prefer store bought coffee cause of the stronger flavor.

[Anonymous No.11053968]

>>11053905
Fantastic. Really light, I wouldn’t say as light as a Gesha but much more sweet and the mouthfeel is like a peach tea. A little acidic but the sweetness is on full display. Fucking delicious.

Just ordered an Elefante from Madcap and a black honey from Brandywine.

You're right but I just wasn't clear. I didn't mean to drink immediately, but typically it's just nice to know that what you're getting is fresh, to let sit until fully degassed, I meant it more as buying advice.

What you think is strength is likely just the roast profile. Mainstream coffee companies have pushed the misconception for decades that a darker roast equals a stronger coffee but it just isn't true. Smaller roasteries usually use lighter roast profiles so that you can actually taste the flavour of the coffee, overroasting coffee just masks all flavour, usually on purpose because the quality of the bean is shit

[Anonymous No.11055355]

I just eyeball aeropress or drink instant coffee at work. Is it worth making "proper" coffee and getting autistic about it? My husband made me pour over with some hipster beans a few times and it was really nice but it doesn't seem worth the extra effort if I'm making it every day

[Anonymous No.11055479]

>because the quality of the bean is shit
Obviously that, but also you can stretch the beans a lot further with over roasted coffee because overextraction tastes the same as underextraction = like ashes and bitterness. Since it makes no difference at all, might as well perpetually overextract and save a fuck ton of money.

Good morning anon. Siphons don't seem very popular in these threads, which do you use? What makes you prefer them over other brewing systems?

I'm rather loyal to Hario so my go-to is their signature Technica model. Yama siphons have also been good to me. All in all, as much as I enjoy my siphon brews it's still more of a treat than my regular brewer due to the cleanup.

Pods contain pre-ground beans. Your coffee will be better if you grind the beans right before you brew. I suppose that is possible to do with the reusable pods that you fill yourself, but I assumed we were talking about the standard pods which come filled when you buy them.

Not that anon but the machines are completely different from a pour over setup. Generally you don't have the same control over ratios, bean frenshness, etc so your end results will not be the same.

Keurigs aren't all terrible and it's fine you enjoy them.

>>11056798
First generation pod machines were sincerely an affront to coffee craft so I agree with you there. But they've improved significantly since then and some of these machines produce a pretty decent cup in a pinch. I don't mind using those reusable kcups if the hotel I'm at has a keurig.

Not him but siphons seem like theyre a lot of effort for something that isn't that noticeably better than other methods. Its clean, but so is a pourover, and theyre easier to clean.

Second anon here, there is a notable difference if you are attentive to "brightness" and those palette subtleties. It's certainly not for everyone and it's not going to be noticeable to the normal person.

As it stands pour over coffee does an excellent job giving you a clean and delicious cup with minimal work but that doesn't mean siphons are purely decorative brewers with no merit. I appreciate both for different things, which is how it should be!

Design-wise they're most similar to a vintage percolator. Those brewers don't grant as much temperature control and have a tendency for over extraction.

I know some people enjoying them even to this day, so it does come down to your preferences.
