Just in my opinion they aren't worth it. What they make isn't espresso because they can't get up to the right pressure and instead just make super concentrated coffee technically. And for the hassle of upkeep it just makes more sense to use an aeropress with super concentrated brew ratios, it will likely taste better as well.

I usually go for ethiopian coffees. Right now my local roastery has Shakisso on offer. It's got a nice nose of blueberry.

They also had a nice one from Honduras called San Jacinto which was chocolatey and a bit tart like cherries.

I just brew it with inverted aeropress at 180f.

Seems fine for the time being.

I just splurged on their signature bundle with the two portafilters since I make some for my wife as well. I'm all new to this, but I already had an OXO electric gooseneck kettle, and I bought the Lido E grinder.

The electric kettle allows me to focus on the grinding and prepping everything else. I haven't timed myself, but I can't imagine it takes more than ten minutes including clean up. I'm usually not rushing in the morning, so it's not an issue for me.

As for serving several people if you have an electric grinder and at least one person to help with the cleanup I think you might be able to have a pretty efficient workflow.

I stopped drinking coffee 10 months ago and feel great now.
First week was the hardest, I was missing the smell and the taste of freshly brewed coffee, but now I'm so happy that quit and that I don't drink that shit anymore.
The worst is dark roasted coffee.
Dark roasted coffee is carcinogenic and will give you cancer because the green coffee beans were heat it up to such hight temperatures
that the high heat burnt everything inside and turned that coffee bean into cancer causing powerhouse.
Same as eating charred meat or bread. Cancer guaranteed.

After cotton coffee is the most chemically treated crop on the Planet.
Organic coffees are rare, and not all labels that say 100% ORGANIC are honest.
Be aware of scammers. Coffee mongers are worst than the used car salesman. They lie looking you straight in the eyes.

Take a look at the picture and I'm sure you will not buy this burnt bread and consume it, so why you buy burnt (dark roast coffee) and consume it ?
Ask yourself this question if you have any brains.
Dark roast coffee equals cancer. But the coffee merchants will not tell you that, it's a deep coffee industry dark ugly secret.

There is a reason why they roast green coffee beans past medium roast to the dark roast. But they hide that knowledge from you.

I was waiting for post like yours.
I was waiting for someone like you who will ask that question, who will have the curiosity to know the reason of that evil deceptive dishonest practice by The BIG COFFEE.
Here is the reason.
As you know there are two types of coffee beans, Robusta and Arabica.
Arabica being sold for double the price on the coffee stock markets, being superior in taste.
But even in Arabica there are grades of quality.

Now to the roasting scam.
Every reputable coffee expert agrees that medium roast is the maximum roast level where you get the best coffee tastes and flavors before you start killing
everything that is alive in the coffee bean. Same as with burning bread or meat till it becomes charred as the dark roast coffee is.
So the big question is why do the coffee roasting houses roast green coffee beans to the dark roast level if medium roasted coffee beans give much better fuller truer tastes.
Here is the genius of evil marketing.
Lower grade Robusta and higher grade Arabica have levels of higher and lover quality of their beans. As with all commodities.
If you roast lower grade Robusta or Arabica coffee beans to the medium roast they will taste like shit, because they are low quality beans regardless of the type.

So the evil coffee merchants came up with the concept of burning, dark roasting the low quality coffee beans and "creating" this illusion of 'strong coffee' taste, and
selling this substandard dark roast coffee at the same price as the medium roast coffees, and remember that only high quality green coffee beans are used for medium roast coffee.

So here is the dark evil secret of the BIG COFFEE.
If you have functioning brain you will understand this, but if you think that McDonalds and other burger joints are serving you healthy meat you will attack my post.

I've recently switched to decaff (I know, I know, I'm sorry) since I think all the caffeine I drink's playing a part in my poor sleeping habits and a slight tremor my hands sometimes have. Been messing around with a Moka pot for a while, mostly with mixed results. It keeps coming out real bitter most of the time. I make sure to pre-boil the water, then put it on a relatively low heat on the stove, but it seems to come out at such a small trickle, so I wonder if I need more heat. Then again maybe the heat I have is what's causing the poor flavor. Maybe I'm not cleaning it well enough?

Define "pretty well". I mean I rinse and scrub (no soap) the hell out of it, but I know the manual mentions boiling water with a few teaspoons of lemon juice and running that through, and I've only done that maybe once.

> you should also turn the heat off BEFORE it starts to make actual gurgle/gasping sounds
The past few times I've tried using it, it hasn't really gurgled. It sorta just trickles out dark and then a bit lighter, at which point I do turn it off. But I've usually wound up with leftover water when that happens. Maybe it's the grounds? Past few times I've used it, it was with grounds that seemed finer than what I used before. I dunno.

use a small pan that you can completely fill in beans, otherwise they will only heat on their contact spot. to be honest the sky is the limit from then on, you can go slow or fast, scorch or make them yellow. I enjoyed playing with spice mixes and oil for a bit, and getting them to barely smoke and then bringing it down for the flavour. money is my thing now so I just spice it up with cinnamon and cayenne in a pestle myself when I want one.

Well you can get robusta for much cheaper, in fact this is a huge fucking ripoff. They are selling pounds for $20 which is what I would pay for specialty grade arabica, and even then that's a little much unless it is a little bit rarer. Learn to read through marketing, good coffee companies include the following info, by relevance:
>roast date
>origin (including city or farm)
>varietal
>roast level
>tasting notes (more specific than "bold" or "fruit notes")
Description should focus on why the coffee was selected by the roaster or more information on the farmers and not a paragraph or two on how "bold" and "strong" it is.

Just wash any visible coffee or coffee stains of and if it's aluminum, you can totally use detergent, it's not getting absorbed or anything.
Just wash it like you'd wash any other pot, if you can wash dishes then it will be fine.

The filter part needs a little extra flushing with water under the tap but nothing crazy, just make sure that some water actually flows through it for a second, that will remove anything left over in there.

What you want is probably a strong latte. Unironically, you should go for a starbucks venti latte and work out how to make that at home using a cheap espresso/steamer combo that you can buy for $100. It won't take many cups for a RoI.

Coffee is thought to have originated in Ethiopia or at least the Middle East.
If your ancestry is European, your body may not be biologically adapted to drinking coffee, so it may actually be bad for you, similar to how cows milk is bad for people from areas like certain parts of Africa.

People who are "in it for the caffeine" will drink rusty drain water if it's filtered through some coffee beans first. You're very clearly in it for the taste as well. That's not a bad thing but don't go all "I'm such a coffee addict" because you're very clearly not.

>>11310640
I only thought about this while I was making my own mokka this morning but are you filling the filter with coffee? Most mokka pots are 6 shots which means if you just fill it up with coffee and drink it, it's going to be 6x as strong as say, a cup of drip-filter pot coffee which is basically 1xshot + hot water per cup. The one in your pic is 12x.
My wife made me some coffee one morning and did this because she doesn't drink it herself and figured it was supposed to taste that bitter.

Make sure you're measuring the right amount of coffee for the pot. Water is less important because it's basically the same as adding hot water to it afterwards for an american/long-black. Also mokka pots don't work well with low water levels.

>Not that I don't drink both.
This is debateable.
There are studies that show that people who drink live longer than people who don’t, and this includes people who drink heavily, although they don’t live as long as people who drink in moderation.
As far as coffee goes, unlike alcoholic beverages, in Europe coffee consumption really only goes back a few hundred years, whereas alcohol consumption goes back thousands.
Over thousands of years, humans can build up a tolerance for alcohol.
Coffee is relatively new for people of Ruropean decent, so will limely not be as well processed by the body.

Those two things aren't necessarily causally related.
Just because it's new to us (in evolutionary terms, which is completely correct) doesn't mean that we can't metabolise it well.
In fact we don't metabolise it 'well' because the metabolites are what give it the psychoactive properties we desire, if it was well processed by the body then it would be converted to base nutrients (amino acids and sugars mostly) and used for cellular energy, protein manufacture and waste that would be eliminated via kidneys without affecting our brain.

But, the native South American population that have consumed it for presumably quite some time, found that they could consume it safely and to advantage, so they preferentially cultivated and harvested it instead of labeling it poison and eliminating it from their farmland. Same as tea in China.
In both cases, they didn't evolve to consume the plant, they found a plant that they could (by random chance) consume and then cultivated it. Since they have the same base biology as the rest of the human race, this applies to us as well.

It's not really evolution that's at work here, it's plant husbandry/cultivation and a selection effect based on farmers destroying unsafe/ineffective coffee-alternatives because they're considered useless/dangerous weeds instead of valuable crops.

Sperg here.
I used to drink large quantities of coffee.
It made me massively depressed to the point were I didn’t leave the house for a week at times.
Trying to quit made me sick from withdrawl symptoms including nausea and migraines.
Alcohol, even in small quantities helped eliminate the withdrawl symptoms, and quickly cut back to a cup or two a day without issue.
I could even quit, but I sirt of like coffee, so I just keep it down to two cups a day.

Tea, other than green tea, can have worse effects. I’ve punched holes in walls after drinking it. So I’ve stopped.

Ceramic.
Inert material.
Can be easily molded to an appropriate geometry, were marble or granite mave to be machined.
Homogenous material, so unlike natural stone, there is unlikely to be flaws or weak spots that can cause voids or other failures.
Suitable for actual chemist use.
Seem to be somewhat more shock resistant. The stone mortar and pestle display models I’ve seen at stores are routinely chipped towards the top, and the pestles are sometimes broken. I’ve seen broken ceramic mortar and pestles, but in far lower quantities.
Milton Brook and Wedgewood both make nice ceramic mortar and pestles.

I’m not familiar with that maker, but pour over coffee does seem to taste better, and paper filters can remove certain compounds from the coffee that may be toxic. The paper filters also make the coffee less gritty.
If I have a reservation sbout that, it’s the hot plate for the coffee.
A double walled glass pitcher would be better, but I don’t know of one that would fit.

Caffeine can exacerbate anxiety. Being wired will be bad for many people.
Large quantities of alcohol will have similar and potentially worse problems though.
People don't generally drink themselves to death on coffee but we know that it's easy to do on alcohol.

You're really just saying that moderation is a good idea since moderate intake of coffee isn't causing problems for you and moderate amounts of alcohol are relaxing and comforting. I really don't disagree with any of that and neither will many other people barring a few straight-edge types.

They retired and decided to buy a bunch of land in Costa Rica instead of retiring in the US. The coffee isn't all perfectly uniform like professional operations but it's all hand picked and dried. I bought a behmor 1600 after the first batch was taking too long to roast in an air popper.

Now that I have the roast times down, the coffee is great. I've ruined a bunch of coffee to get there though.

At just past the medium roast point, about 30 seconds past first crack on my roaster, it has a stronger chocolate flavor. It's earthy and fairly acidic but not a really intense flavor. I brew through a chemex and I think those filters remove a lot of the acidity (and possibly flavor).

I have it and I love it. I've owned numerous drip machines, and I would say this is by far the best. One of my primary complaints with my previous machines was that the dripping mechanism would concentrate in certain areas of the filter. The moccamaster's drip is from what I can tell is completely uniform, none of your ground beans will go to waste.

This machine coupled with a good grinder will produce fantastic coffee.

You should reread the post you replied to but tl:dr for you lazy faggot, no. Not unless you're making 6 shots of espresso, or 12, whatever your pot does.

Every other coffee maker requires measuring coffee for the number/strength you want the coffee to be, this does too. If you fill the filter with coffee and our it into a single cup, it's going to be insanely strong and bitter.
