>/tea/ has a pastebin full of websites listing where to buy teas at and I wonder if /ctg/ would be able to put together such a thing. I've been buying from a local roaster until recently, their service went downhill. I see anons ordering from all over the place so I'd like a list of which roasters people like.

I have been wanting to put a paste bin together for /ctg/ for a while. Its not like I don't have an archive of posts to pull data from. I'd like to have a list of local roasters we all like or at least a few decent online coffee links that we'd all recommend. That other anon is right about the differences between tea and coffee selling though; at least in most cases.

Coffee beans literally crack open as you roast them. Lighter roasts have expanded and cracked less, needing you to grind finer and brew hotter to coax out flavor, while medium and dark are simply more soluble. Most people have junk grinders so grinding finer generates alot more fines and muddies up the taste.

I was just about to ask the same thing, what a coincidence. I prefer tea in general, and dislike the troublesome process and costs of preparing coffee. However, I rather like the flavor and effect of ingesting just a few coffee beans. I only had maybe three or four earlier, but I mashed them well in my mouth, and kept them under my tongue for a while for sublingual absorption. The effects seem decent, and the convenience is difficult to match. I don't keep a bag out, but I have a small tea cup with a few beans I'm snacking on very periodically right now. Stacked with a little L-theanine, and it's comfy and very easy.

If you absolutely had to use a "pan and stove" setup, the hive basically eliminates all of that. Think of it like higher tech jiffy pop. Pan gets too hot, you've got ample room to shuffle the beans around so they don't burn. Seems pretty indestructible and you can toss on a datalogger if you feel like it.

Coffee gets very stale if you brew it hot me let it cool down slowly. I wouldn't recommend if you still want to taste the beans you're using.

The main thing is get quality, freshly roasted coffee and a nice grinder. I'd recommend a 1zpresso JX. After that, you can choose from a variety of different methods. For your particular case, I'd look into either a French press or an aeropress.
Since you're really into black coffee from your Keurig, I'd look into a medium or medium dark roast. Look for descriptors like chocolate, caramel and nuts. Hope you enjoy your coffee journey.

[Anonymous No.16576087]

>>16575090
in terms of brew method it really depends on what your morning is like and what youre willing to do. Some easy methods are french press or just a regular coffee machine, more complicated methods would be aeropress or pour over, look into how you would brew using these methods and decide which fits your lifestyle best. Every method will give you different results but really anything will be better than shooting lukewarm water through stale beans in a hot plastic container.

Like the other anon already said fresh beans and a good grinder are most important, a good grinder allows you to grind the beans to similar size particles so you can get an even extraction. This is way more important than the machine you use to brew. Some good "entry level" grinders are the baratza encore and the wilfa svart I would highly recommend spending the extra money to get one of these grinders compared to cheaper electric grinders, its no joke that the most important part of your setup is the grinder.

If youre looking for something cheaper than those grinders you can go with a manual grinder if you dont think you'll mind doing that every morning but if you do go with a cheap electric grinder make sure its at least a burr grinder.

In terms of beans freshly roasted are best, personally I go to a local roaster and buy the beans there but there are many online retailers who will ship you freshly roasted beans. Most specialty coffee is roasted much more lightly than what you would find in a keurig so I'd say start with a medium roast and see if you like that. If you're interested in learning more and getting into specialty coffee get the chance to you should really visit a specialty coffee shop and try whatever they have on pour over. If you've never tried coffee like that it will probably change the way you see coffee. Most people dont realize that coffee when prepared correctly can have an incredible range of tasting notes you'll discover a ton of tastes you wouldn't believe

Cold brew: How do you make it? I made it two times now, in this small french press I have, around 300ml. I dumped ground coffee in it and topped it up with water and left it for about fifteen hours the first time, and for about twenty four hours this second time. The ~15 hour brew was too weak for my taste, I usually drink really strong Turkish coffee (I'm from Serbia). I'm drinking this second brew right now, it's nice and strong, and is only barely bitter (good coffee and good water).
I saw on Youtube some steep it at room temperature and say "don't steep it in the fridge it sucks". How do you make it?

I pulled the insides of the machine apart and took the boiler apart. Pretty manky inside.
Cleaned up okay, the group head part I am happy with but the boiler part still needs to be ground flat on the mating surface as there is some tough scale and pitting that has made the surface uneven.

You can just make out in the deepest visible part of the boiler that there is still beige scale build up in the inside of the boiler.

How much does grinder quality matter related to brewing process? For example, should I spend $1000 for grinder if I will only use that for phin filter or french press?

[Anonymous No.16590501]

>>16590251
Hario anon here

If you french press or filter, not that much. You grind so coarse the hario does a great job anyways

For espresso, one knob was the difference between a shot that takes a minute to come out and a shot that takes 20 seconds, neither tasted good.

I'd say get an espresso maker before upgrading. I got pic related, it didn't really make sense buying a 300$ grinder without a 300$ espressso maker

[Anonymous No.16590826]

>>16590251
The grinder is, after the bean itself, the most important factor in making a quality cup of coffee. This anon >>16590501 is talking shut out of their mouth. A shitty Hario grinder will definitely make every cup you make worse simply by not being very consistent. If you're making a French press, for example, the shitty grinder will provide fines that will not get filtered through the plunger and will end up on your cup. If you're making filter coffee, this inconsistency will fuck up with your extraction and make your cups from one morning to the next rather inconsistent.
Get a good grinder as soon as possible, even if you're making espresso.

Hario's can be stabilized with aftermarket parts to make the grind more consistent. It's fine for people who are just getting started, but an upgrade would definitely be worth it.

>>16590501
I was gifted one of these and it's more of a curse than a gift because now I need to spend a couple hundred dollars on a proper grinder for it. Currently it's just sitting in its packaging on a shelf in the closet.

Buying the stabilizing washers for the skerton is throwing good money after bad. Upgrading your grinder to utilize a free manual espresso setup is throwing good money after good.

>>16590251
Grinders produce a range of particle sizes dependent on where you've set the burrs. Harios will give you massive boulders as well as tiny tiny fines for any setting. You can regrind the boulders, but you'll end up with more fines. You could sift the fines, but why bother. Just get a better grinder.

Turns out your meals taste better when you dice the onions into uniform pieces. Have you ever seen anyone actually cook with a slapchop? Half the pieces are 2x the size of what you want, the other half are juiced against the cutting board. Kind of hard to cook that mess evenly.

I started out with the harbor grinder too. Upgrading to a grinder in the 100-200 range gave a very noticeable improvement in flavor clarity. I would say for anyone who knows they want to get into coffee don't even bother with a sub $100 grinder.

Why is it extremely hard to press my aeropress all of the sudden? I feel like my mug will break and I end up stopping while there's still some water left because it's so fucking hard to press.
