Made a french press of some of this stuff I got from whole foods. It was on sale for prime members and it was 2 for 1.

Its a french roast and usually I like them, but this one isnt great. Its very smokey tasting, a bit too bitter, and strong tasting but thats okay in my book. I dont think I like it, maybe Ill just take it to work and leave it there or give it too a friend since its not my taste.

[Anonymous No.11078531]

>>11078479
I would start looking local, you're bound to find a reputable roaster around you who can help you discover a lot of new coffees and maybe even teach you some things if you care and ask. Coffee is less about brands and more about knowing what to look for, but the simple fact is that Starbucks is expensive and shitty. If there are no good roasters around you (doubtful) look into craft roasters who will ship to your area, I like onyx coffee labs, brandywine, and sweet bloom. They have huge varieties that rotate frequently so you can try new things as much as you like, or stick to blends that appeal to you. Good coffee is subjective obviously, but a good roaster will provide you with information about the coffee like tasting notes, origin, variety, roast level, and date roasted so that you can use your taste to determine what characteristics you like best. Personally I like Ethiopian coffees because of the huge biodiversity of the plant there and the sharp, fruity tastes they create, but everyone likes different things. Just know that in general darker roasts are used to hide the defects of lower quality coffees, especially from countries like Indonesia and even Central America. Lighter roast doesn't necessarily mean better but typically only high quality coffees will be roasted lighter because it helps to bring out a lot of the flavors that are burned away in darker roasts.

I'm not the guy you're arguing with but I disagree. The problem with starbucks bagged coffee is that is is definitely not fresh, and half the time you don't even know where its coming from.

>>11086023
First of all they're trolling. Better,fresher coffee beans > shitty store bought coffee grounds which usually cost about $5 per pound(more like $6-7). These are tastelets that think coffee quality doesn't make a difference because they add so much sugar and milk that at the end they end up with a cup of sugar milk + taste of coffee rather than a coffee + creamer.
Secondly, you can buy bags of single origin coffee (aka good quality coffee that is freshly roasted and slightly more expensive since quality tends to be) online or from your local roaster for $10+ a bag of 1lbs.
Third of all $2 for iced cup of coffee is a lot. A 1lbs pound at $10 dollar has way more servings than 5(what it would cost you to get 5 iced coffees) so you are already losing money doing so.

Go to a viet grocer and find the viet coffee filter [Phin Ca Phe]. Choose the size you want. I personally don't use the screw-in plunger types, only got the loose one.

These metal coffee makers are super easy to use and clean. No chance of shattered glass, no need to constantly buy new paper filters, no rubber seal that wears out overtime. These things are idiot proof and built to last pretty much a lifetime.

French presses aren't really worth shelling out huge amounts for. Get something reasonably priced but not dollar tree-tier, and shop around for a well-reviewed replacement mesh filter, that's the part that will let you down 99% of the time.
The Hario Skerton is the bare minimum you should look for in a burr grinder. You'll want to get something better eventually because it's prone to a slightly inconsistent grind the more coarse you go, and it only gets worse with age, but it will do well enough for you to get your money's worth of good coffee out of it.

honestly I don't mind the morning ritual thing. Before coffee I always felt like shit all day, don't know what the fuck was wrong with me, I exercise daily, ate healthy, etc. tried all recommended bullshit(never went to the doc cause I'm American with no insurance) so coffee was a game changer. I literally love the effect and I don't mind being addicted, I drink it black and stopped drinking soda, and sugary drinks overall. I think it was a good tradeoff.

Not really because it isn't high end enough to the point it can manage espresso, and when you're looking at grinders for regular brewing you really just want the most cost effective option because it likely won't outperform a baratza encore to the point that would justify the cost difference. Your only upgrade on a grinder should be from brew grinder to high end espresso grinder, rather than taking a bunch of smaller expensive steps upwards to something truly high end.

I can't taste the difference between beans I'm afraid I've been memed by coffee hipsters.
Light, medium and dark roast sure, they taste different but within a roast profile I can't tell.

I tried french press, v60 and aeropress. Hario Skerton as grinder. It's the last time I listen to hipsters

[Anonymous No.11094633]

>>11094622
The major differences in coffee usually happens only within the light-medium roasts, try a Colombian light roast versus an Ethiopian light roast and tell me there's no difference. It could also come down the the fact that you're using a skerton which produces incredibly inconsistent grinds so you're not getting a lot of flavor clarity. Or maybe you just have a weak sense of taste.
