I keep trying different ways of skinning the cat with brewing and have a huge assortment of gimmicks like the Aeropress, Hario pourovers, Chemex, moka pots and I keep going back to the regular coffeemaker. I think I should just get the ultimate coffeemaker and be done with it.

Where I live, there's a couple places where some enterprising people applied for a zoning exemption in the middle of the residential sprawl to open a couple cafes. There's about three places with a small front where the owner lives upstairs and they mostly hire local high school kids for minimum wage. I imagine they're pretty sustainable, since they've all been around for 20+ years.

Brita pitchers, or any activated carbon filters for that matter, do not remove hardness. The only practical way to remove hardness is to install a RO system or invest in a whole-home water softener.

PS I installed a water softener in my home some time ago mainly to prolong the life of my appliances but it made my previously yummy tap water taste flat and disgusting. So I had to also install a RO system in addition so that it could make my water palatable again.

They had a massive factory a while back and lost a significant portion of their manufacturing capability. The phoenix(and traveler I believe) are slightly cheapened versions using the same burrs. The classic and simplicity are the upscale versions. All of them are milled stainless steel bodies. Phoenix has plastic "spokes" centering the burrs, but I believe there are steel rods inside of the plastic. Most grinders will have the crank sitting on a single bearing, more expensive will have an upper and lower bearing to stabilize it. Kinus use 4. Simp and classic just use solid steel spokes. Classic has the nicer magnetic catch cup, S/P has a press fit oring. Alot of people bitched about the old magnetic catch cup(think they doubled the amount of magnets since), so it looks like they've got the oring version available now if that gets your dick hard. I use the standard burrs for espresso and pourover, but they've got a pourover optimized burr if you feel like tossing more cash their way.

Oh wow thanks for the info dump.

You're most likely grinding your coffee too fine, and over extracting it.
Try grinding coarser.
Also i would change your ratio. Generally it's suggested to brew around 60g of coffee per litre of water. So if you want a 400ml cup that's probably closer to 24-25g of coffee.

All comes down the the user. Its a skill to develop. Flair will be s l i g h t l y more inconvenient, but you gain access to controlling all 3 variables. Heat pressure grind. You can pull shots all day back to back on one. You'd have to wait for the pressure and heat to die down if you're planning on refilling a pavoni tank.

Thanks, makes sense. Is there any actual benefit to gaining control of the heat? I thought you wanted it to have a pretty stable temperature.

Having the ability to replicate a shot, but a few degrees hotter is pretty nice. People love their pavonis though. Significantly more maintenence than a dumb flair though, and you have to pay a few hundo extra for the pressure gauge right?

Makes sense about having fine-tuned control over the temperature. I’ve seen people get thermometer stickers to measure the group head temperature for the LPs, so I can understand value in not needing to worry about that.
Yeah it looks like there are only pricey aftermarket pressure gauges for the LP, though people with Flairs and Robots seem to say they don’t use the gauge anyway. Do you? Is target time or pressure more important for pulling? Or are they a ratio consideration, lower pressure means longer target brew time, and vice versa?
Sorry for all the questions, I’m trying to get a good understanding of what I’m getting into with a manual machine. I’ve got a Gaggia right now (no PID) and I want to replace it.

[Anonymous No.14659261]

I got this a few weeks ago. Love it. I believe the guy who made it also makes the nicest pressure gauge conversion for the LP. Digital gauge and scale combo really helps with consistency. Unnecessary and and absolutely too expensive for a $200 press? Sure. But my shots have never been better desu. Probably a combination of me getting better at roasting and thinking more consciously about my pressure and flow since I can look at it on a graph. My goal was to max out what the flair can do, be happy for years, and still have the high end pressure shit to put on a cremina or something later.

French press will /generally/ provide a heavier, more textural/oily coffee. Personally I like this level of strength/heaviness, it's like a middle ground between pour-over and peculator

Honestly, cost it out. If you've the money to burn, then good for you.
At $700, that's about 170 lattes at your local cafe, or three a week. You're going to have to buy beans and waste them too before you figure out how to brew properly and what the best ratio is for you. Then you need to clean it regularly so that oils don't build up inside it, as they'll fuck your flavours. There are a couple of other things to think about, but these are the first that should come to your mind.
If they don't scare you off and you're confident that you will use it more than three times a week and not have it end up in a cupboard, then pull the trigger, if not, then see if you want to invest that $700 in a damn good grinder and set of scales, or treat yourself to some new import coffee.

If you have the larger dripper it will hold about 400 ml of water in it. Grounds will absorb a portion of that water, so expected volume after the drip is something to consider.

48.5g of beans to 400 ml of water is my recipe. Grind fine-ish and allow ample time for the grounds to absorb water and fall out of suspension. At that high of a concentration (8.25:1) it takes about 20 minutes or so.

If that's too strong, divide 400 by whatever concentration you'd like and you'll have your weight in beans to grind.

If you're making coffee for volume you'll need to adjust bean weight to account for the absorption rate.

It's because roasters usually blend multiple origin coffees for flavor consistency from batch to batch. This can also be done by roasting darker. There's actually a lot going on there, and it isn't always the taste decision you would have made yourself, although it is often a very good decision based on what available coffee crops and buying budgets they're working with.

Convince me not to buy McDonald's brand Arabica Ground Coffee Beans next time I go to the store.

does it tell you where it's sourced from? is it cheaper than other places?

[Anonymous No.14677455]

It does say that on the can, however I can't recall where.
I just googled and it says it's from some (and I copypaste) '100% Rainforest Alliance Certified Arabica Beans' or something

As for the second question, it's cheaper than going to the McCafe as it is in a larger volume at a higher rate. It's better too.

Literally impossible. Either you mistake a few bubbles appearing for a boil or throw your thermometer out the window. At this altitude a rolling boil is virtually 100oC.

Nanopresso is the best hand espresso machine I've tried, the pump is way easier than manual pressuring.
Can't do brewed stuff in it obvs tho like kompresso can

Have this, good machine. (Mind you I paid $540 AUD for it by combining sales + discount vouchers and shit). People will shit on the integrated grinder but it's the same internals as the real breville burr grinders and it neatens up your counter space so much. I get consistent grinds from it.
It only has 1 heating element inside, so you can't steam at the same time as a shot, doesn't matter with the right routine tho
>Machine on
>Cup with water in microwave, 1:45m
>Steam milk once machine is up to temp
>Microwave should finish while steaming
Begin rush time
>Begin swirling milk to smoothen
>Cup out of microwave
>Blind shot into cup to heat group head
>Grind beans
>Pour cup of water into sink while grinding
>Tamp
>Shot
>Pour milk
Done in like 5 min with everything heated properly and minimal espresso resting
>>14662060
It's heatblock not boiler based so hot time is shorter and less radiant heat. I keep a few days of beans it it, is fine.

I, too, drink mostly chicory and have found that Seaport Dark is pretty strong for regular coffee. Good luck finding some, though, without having to pay more than it's worth for shipping

Breville Precision - programmable and you can get an adapter to use a pour over (although you have dismissed them as "gimmicks")
Bonavita machines are much less programmable but still have pre-infusion and meet 'Gold Cup Standard' per the Specialty Coffee Association - for what that's worth

Sorry for the noob question, I'm just getting into making my own coffee at home instead of getting a cup at the coffee shop on the way to work. What's a decent, inexpensive (less than $50) grinder for home use? I'm just making regular drip coffee, no espresso or pour-over shit.

I understand this. I have made a rule for myself: at any given time I shall have no more than 30lbs of coffee on hand and no less than 10lbs. As a regular person, I just can't have all the coffee. If I want to have all the coffee I must justify it by starting a business.

I'm sitting at around 25lbs rn. The co-op can cram 15-20lbs in a flatrate box so you only pay fees on one order, so I'm waiting for their next bags to get in.

I went with the regular JX and have a lingering ache in my heart. Suits my needs for now and I dont want to hand grind for espresso, but I could if I wasnt trying to be a cheap fuck.
Great grinder though. Rogue Wave started carrying them so much easier to buy in Canada now.

I’ve heard the base model JX is actually faster than the pro while lacking it’s finer grinds, so it’s probably a lot more convenient for your needs
