I still don't know how to make good cuppa' coffee with a moka pot. I read hours about different methods, tried everything, from the amount of coffee, to grinding my own fresh coffee (tried coarse and fine ground), different extracting speeds, nothing helped. Then one day, after having used one for a few months already, I stopped lying to myself and finally admitted that it tastes like SHIT. Are these things a meme pushed by wannabe Italians?

I haven't found a local place that does fresh roasted beans.
I've only been at this nature store where they pretend to do that, but it comes out this """turkish""" powder and tastes revolting. Also it's much cheaper to buy storebought.
Really, the dude sold me a cup of something he claimed was Ethiopian coffee for the same price I could get a whole bag of actual green beans from actual Ethiopians.

[Anonymous No.15818762]

>>15818702
It depends, robust and arabica have different levels of caffeine. Then your level of extraction will change the amount of caffeine, albeit not by much. One espresso a day isn't a lot of caffeine, especially if you drink shorter shots, like sub 30g. Grab a bag of coffee that was decaffeinated using the Swiss water method. Makes really good espresso.
>>15818710
Not sure what affect degassing will have on Turkish style. Coffee that hasn't degassed will have a larger amount of volatile acids that will affect your brew, and is much more noticeable in fermented and natural processes coffee. Then there's the fact that it will give you a massive crema in espresso that makes your latte art almost impossible. I'm not sure this is a desirable traid in Turkish however. You'd also imagine that any producer worth their salt would have a roaster at least on call locally to facilitate some form of roasting even for cuppings. Weird man.
Are you totally again the idea of importing? I know a few decent roasters in Europe if you're willing to wait a week or two.

I have one funnel with a short stem, and one that reaches deeper. I find the latter makes much better coffee for whatever reason - geometry/water flow rate/total volume who knows

Base filled with boiled water
Medium kinda grind somewhere around filter ~20g loosely distribute in funnel
Top on
Hot stove
Plunge in bowl of cold water to halt before it starts going all light coloured and over extracted, better to stop too soon than too late

Aeropress recipes vary so fucking much between """pros"" just as much as there are variations for pourover that it's ridiculous.
Usually IDGAF sometimes and just stick with a medium-coarse grind, eyeball the dosing and water I put in via the inverted method, estimate a minute into the brew then invert and plunge. Add more water if it's a bit strong.

Other times I stick with the non-inverted traditional recipe by the creator.

Pretty happy with the DF64 ao far (Niche is long gone). The only annoying thing about the bellows is that sometimes excess grinds will shoot out from the grinds shoot onto the counter top, but it's no big deal. I think they're working on a Niche-like flow control disc.

Wasn't massively comfortable with the 1 year warranty for a start. I know the machine will probably last many years, but there would still be a chance the motor would pack up, and I'd have to pay to replace it. With the DF64, I paid to extend the 2 year warranty to 4 (not an option with the Niche). More importantly, I didn't like the harshness of the Niche's output. Maybe it would have reduced after I put more beans through it (I had used 1 kilo before I sold it). With the DF64, I've barely put 200 grams through it, yet the harshness isn't nearly as present. Maybe that's a trait of the Niche's conical burrs - I don't know for certain. Also, I prefer the DF64's dosing cup, and the grinds are much less clumpy than the Niche - again with less beans through it.

The general rule is 1% of the coffee used for brewing. So for a typical 14 g double shot, 14 g * 0.01 = 140 mg of caffeine in the cup. There's not a huge variance by brewing method. Assuming you're not doing anything weird like boiling your coffee, you can expect to extract roughly 75-85% of the available caffeine. Roasted Arabica coffee is around 1.2% caffeine. Robusta is nearly double.

You're fundamentally misunderstanding espresso extraction. The reason we time shots is the massive amount of pressure(130psi) extracting more than other methods. You pull long and you overextract. Adding an extra 40 seconds to an aeropress does not change the fact that it only hits .6bar(8psi). Its a paper filtered french press. You're underextracting, not overextracting.

>Coffee consumption has been associated with decreased mortality in previous studies. As aging, obesity, and lifestyle factors affect the risk of mortality, the association between coffee and mortality needs to be examined in various subpopulations by characteristics of subjects. To quantitatively assess this association, we conducted an updated meta-analysis including stratified analyses by potential modifiers. We searched in the PubMed and Web of Science databases through March 8, 2019, and conducted meta-analysis including linear and non-linear dose-response analyses. We identified 40 studies including 3,852,651 subjects and 450,256 all-cause and cause-specific deaths. Non-linear inverse associations between coffee consumption and mortality from all-causes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancers were found. The lowest relative risk (RR) was at intakes of 3.5 cups/day for all-cause mortality (RR = 0.85, 95% CI 0.82-0.89), 2.5 cups/day for CVD mortality (RR = 0.83, 95% CI 0.80-0.87), and 2 cups/day for cancer mortality (RR = 0.96, 95% CI 0.94-0.99), while additional intakes were not associated with further lower mortality. An inverse association between coffee consumption and all-cause mortality was maintained irrespective of age, overweight status, alcohol drinking, smoking status, and caffeine content of coffee. By region, Europe and Asia showed stronger inverse associations than US. A non-linear inverse association was found for mortality from respiratory disease and diabetes, while linear inverse association was found for mortality from non-CVD, non-cancer causes. Moderate coffee consumption (e.g. 2-4 cups/day) was associated with reduced all-cause and cause-specific mortality, compared to no coffee consumption. The inverse association between coffee and all-cause mortality was consistent by potential modifiers except region.

Why does my pour over has bitter after taste? I think my grind is finer than recommended, but does it have such big influence? It tastes perfect until I swallow.

I used 17g of coffee for ~250g of water in V60 02

Poured 40ml near boiling water, let it simmer for 30sec and then finish the brew (took about 2 more minutes)

(This is my 2nd pour over brew, the first one was too watery)

I say Merit is fucking garbage because it is, and that's from numerous occasions drinking it in their stores (back when it was hilariously called Local Coffee) from their horrible baristas and grinding their inconsistent beans at home. I watched and talked with the roasters myself who gave a "eh, its good enough" attitude which spreads to nearly every aspect of their stores. You can do much much better.

For espresso, that's cheap. Regular drip machines just heat the water up and pour it over the grounds basket. An espresso machine needs to create about 9 bars of pressure and do so without breaking the coffee puck. It's a far more mechanically complicated task than drip which explains the cost difference

I like both hot and cold brew coffee, but I've had heartburn issues recently due to a hernia and cold brew is the only coffee that doesn't cause me pain. I normally just brew it in a 2 quart mason jar and strain it with my french press but I'd like to upgrade to a slightly more convenient and easier to pour method.
Does anyone have any reccs for a good pitcher with an infuser? I can't seem to find one that is 2 quart, glass, has a metal filter. Would like to avoid plastic in case I want to brew hot tea in it. I'm considering pic related.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for beans that taste good for cold brew I'd love those too.

[Anonymous No.15854319]

get coldbrew infuser bags, all of the mesh sieves will get you muddy pieces at the bottom, or just make cold brew with the grounds directly in the container and then run it through a regular coffee filter after

look for medium-dark roasts for cold brew

In that case I will look for some reusable infuser bags, especially if that will help with sediment, and a nice glass pitcher. I was looking for something to cut down the steps and amount of things I have to use for my current brewing method (brew in mason jar, strain in french press, pour in new mason jar). I already use cloth tea bags since I get the same issue with metal tea infusers anyway, but those wouldn't be large enough for the amount of grounds I need.

Wait there's no way of making an espresso without using over a $100 machine?

[Anonymous No.15856385]

Pretty much. At that price point you're better off getting a serviceable pourover setup for home and working your palette with that, and getting good espresso from a good cafe. $100 options are only going to make something you're not going to like and frustrate you.

I don't necessarily agree. I would absolutely agree that most places serving espresso serve coffee that's overrated. I'd certainly agree that some otherwise competent cafes and coffee shops that can serve very good milk drinks and filter coffee are using espresso as a base for those milk drinks that is dogshit to drink on its own. But an excellent espresso with good beans done well, is marvellous. It's also a pain in the dick to do in the home and needs to be considered a hobby rather than a convenience item, as opposed to again, what can otherwise be quite good milk drinks or filter coffee.

Beats are laughed at by the audiophile community because theyre shit for their price but because of a clever marketing, theyre popular with ignorant normies . Flairs are one of the best price for value machines and can do things like pressure profiling that a 1000 dollar machine cant do. The Beats of the espresso world is Nespresso.

58mm, being able to use standard vst baskets and distribution tools,and a heated brew chamber are MASSIVE upgrades for what, +~200 over the pro 2? The only non-significant(but still very nice) are the t handle and a bigger base to fit scales. Even my lunar is cramped under the signature.

Look at their coffee insta accounts. Almost all of them only drink ultra dark roasts. Blue Bottle became such a huge thing over there because, other than for a few very expensive and very "specialty" places like Koffee Mameya, they were the first to serve coffee that hasn't been burnt to charcoal.

Are there any cute preparation methods for around 6g of coffee beans at a time? I noticed that's about my threshold for caffeine to feel good and not have a bad crash. Right now I'm doing 6g of cof + 6g of decaf in a Kalita Wave, just wondering if there are any other cool ways so I can make cut the decaf half (other than espresso).
