>Moka bros edition. This thread is for all coffee related discussion and inquiries.
I really only use a moka pot when buying some latin world coffee, in the mood for a cafe cubano, an afternoon cafecito, a going-out-on-the-town-tonight kind of wakeup coffee. It'll be a weekend mood when and if I have houseguests and I feel like making a cortadito w/steamed milk (microwave a pyrex measuring cup of whole milk).

I will buy supreme bustelo, la llave, even publix brand espresso beans, and I don't think there is a vast difference between them, amazingly enough, they're similar when you get to that level of overroasted dark beans, and as long as you just opened your bag today or yesterday, it's very good. Cuban coffees have a silky sweet amount of sugar. I use demerara sugar. Some people actually add a little hot coffee to the cup with the sugar and vigoriously combine it until dissolved and then add the rest of the hot coffee. Walk up windows all over Miami actually add the sugar to the brew cup. I don't live in Miami anymore, so the moka pot is actually more authentic tasting than my Krups espresso machine, and crazy easy to prep and clean.

Never used one, but honestly I don't think so for two reasons: looks harder to clean out the tubes verse moka pot shoot, and some of the moka pot brew optimization techniques like taking it off the stove as soon as it fountains can't be done. It looks cute, but seems more impractical.

Why is it that when I brew freshly ground beans, my coffee always comes out sour? I use a moka pot, and it doesn't matter if I have it ground fine or medium, it's always sour. I even compared the medium preground coffee to the same exact beans ground to the same size, and the freshly ground still tastes sour.

I know that underextraction makes it sour, but they're the same size. What gives?

[Anonymous No.12685021]

>>12684568
My only thought is that fresh ground beans may contain more moisture and might stick together more. Have you noticed if your moka pot brews slower with fresh ground versus pre ground?

[Anonymous No.12685106]

>>12685021
Damn, you're probably right. It take noticeably longer. If they're clumping together like that, then the extraction is uneven. Is the solution to let the grounds dry out for a bit before brewing?

[Anonymous No.12685161]

>>12685106
I would try filling it slightly less. Also I find if my moka brews too slow, I make a slit in the grounds before brewing to make it easier for water to come up.

Espresso is hot water forced through coffee at 9~14 bar (130~200psi), the original purpose was to stop Italians from wasting half their workday waiting for pots of coffee to brew and we figured out how to make it taste good later.
French press is more like a teapot, letting the grounds steep in a pot of hot water for several minutes. The mesh press bit is just to halt the brewing and filter the grinds out of your cup.

Cheaper mills like the Hario Skerton can only do a fine grind well. If you set the burr to a coarse grind it starts to wobble and produce an uneven grind.
You can install a supporting bracket to stabilize it, but you have to take it out again if you want to switch back to fine grind.
$500 is only if you want to buy like an actual commercial grade grinder and make turkish grind all day every day without failure.

Mostly so you can gauge how well you are distributing and tamping your grind. Basically a training tool. Though there’s some argument whether the contact with the PF bottom affects the taste of the extraction as well.

[Anonymous No.12701125]

Coffee extraction is about consistency. Particle consistency is actually harder to attain unless you invest more. A grinder is MORE IMPORTANT than an espresso machine, especially for making GOOD espresso.

[Anonymous No.12701153]

it's just standard checks like no melting damage inside due to improper care, no leaks from any flow sources, proper heating to target temps, ensuring that gasket and descaling was done historically on the unit, checking conditions of intake and return tubing, checking the conditions of the body and accessories

there's a lot, it's easier just to learn how the machine works and what parts it consists of then you know what all to check

well, I wouldn't say it's really either of those.
Espresso is really more hobbyist tier so there is additional knowledge but it really mostly revolves around producing consistent good results by using appropriate properly maintained tools. The espresso machine is essentially a pump boiler and dispenser system so it needs occasional attention to ensure it's performing its functions optimally.

[Anonymous No.12701254]

Grind right before brewing.
Ideally your coffee will have been roasted within the last two weeks but it's not the end of the world if it isn't. Grinding immediately before will probably make the biggest difference.

If you grind yourself you can also adjust the grind size. French press uses a coarser grind.

I found this, but I wouldn't recommend it.

leaves would expand when hydrated, blocking the filter entirely
pressure builds up in bottom tank until it triggers the release valve, assuming you've been cleaning it and giving it a proper wiggle now and then.
If you haven't, pressure builds up and your pot explodes.

Good morning coffee bros
I had a long sleep
12 hours
The first four hours were restless, I woke up like times times
But after midnight I slept for a long stretch, waking up at 7. Then I enjoyed a comfy snooze til 8.
So 8pm-8am. I was hoping for 7-7, but this is good enough. I have lots to do today, I hope I can do as much of it as possible, tire myself out and go to sleep around 11/12, wake up 7/8am and keep this good cycle.

Been wanting to try a moka pot for a while now. what is a high quality one on amazon? All the reviews say shit like it rusts or has metal pieces in it. is that just from poor care, or flaws in cheaper products?

[Anonymous No.12714712]

That's due to their aluminium construction. They need to be treated and stored properly. It's not difficult, but if you cannot be bothered, get a Bialetti stainless steel moka pot. Note that they come in various cup sizes. 1 cup equals about 60ml of coffee.

For stainless steel, Bialetti have the Venus and Kitty. I have the 4 cup Venus. Works great.

I haven't had a regular sleep pattern in over 5 years now. I think something broke inside of me. I just continuously sleep later and later and wake up later and later. E.g. Sleep at 12midnight to 9am, then slowly creeps to 3am to 12pm, then it's 6am to 3pm. Eventually it reaches back to 12mn to 9am again and the cycle continues. Note that the average cycle happens over a period of 1-2 months. I guess it doesn't help that I'm a friendless, single neet with no responsibilities.

even as a neet, having a regular sleep cycle feels good. getting up early and enjoying daylight hours is good. daylight gives you energy. dark hours make you generally mroe lethargic. Have you thought about exercise? Daily cardio used to do wonders for me. When I did cardio daily, my sleep cycle was regular, effortlessly. it would make me just tired enough to go to bed at the right time. I would never stay up too long and push my cycle back, the way you're talking about. Unfortunately I'm stuck home with health problems these days and can't do any exercise like I used to. I hope to recover and get back to real life if not by the end of 2019 then hopefully within 12 months.

You could even watch your chinese cartoons while on using an exercise bike.

I took the /fit/pill about a year ago and it has helped slightly, but not completely. Thanks for the advice though. I'm seriously contemplating visiting a doctor for this.

It tastes like burnt asshole. You can't discern any flavor notes that are present in V60 coffee. I even did it properly by using hot water in the chamber and taking it off the heat once it bubbles, and it still tasted yucky.

Remember to only fill the chamber halfway to allow the tea leaves to expand.

I used thai tea in my steel bialetti a few times. Thai tea is normally a mix of black tea, star anise and vanilla, and when it goes through my bialetti I end up extracting a lot more vanilla flavour from it that makes the resulting brew taste beautiful.
