At work when the corpo coffee machines need a new pot, I double the recommended scoops of beans every time and the taste is better. Mother fuckers are putting 4 scoops for a whole pot like how miserable can you get.

Picrel, any tips for better brew out of this? When I make it strong it's passable but we are literally brewing with a bin of pre-ground beans. It's stale as fuck.

it's not the bed, it's your filter paper. fines in your grind clog the paper and stall your brew. there's no one stop solution for stalling but in generally you could grind a bit coarser, agitate less, use different papers, align your burrs, etc

Bros. I don’t know what I want. The last times I tried to make coffee it was so consistently shit I gave up and went back to just buying it from cafes. I now know it was mostly my ratio, buying pre-ground, and using bad water. But now I’m torn. I don’t know if I want to go all out on a nice pour over setup, or just buy a nice drip machine for about the same price. I also realized really that I like drinking espresso, but it is prohibitively expensive and time consuming. There, it seems like it saves money to just go to a shop.

Sometimes certain coffees just behave differently. I was brewing a geisha for a while which used to drawdown in around 5 minutes (definitely on the longer side) but it was delicious. At the end of the day you've gotta dial for taste, time is purely a variable for measurement, it's got nothing to do with the flavour of the coffee.

Gas prices went up. Coffee growing and processing costs to the farmers went up because of this. Shipping prices went up because of this. There IS some price gouging going on along the supply chain and with the roasters, but it's mostly gas prices. Whomst made the gas prices higher is to blame for this. Remember when they started to predictively program to us that coffee prices would go up due to glerbel werming? Uhhh, the coffee belt is doing fine.

Pre-wetting the grounds basically. I'm not doing it "correctly" with the aeropress since I don't have a gooseneck but mine was dripping really fast and found it helps a lot if you wet the grounds wait and stir it a little before adding the rest of the water.
