I like to brew a McCafe K-Cup in my Keurig: Strong, 8oz, with a 12oz mug or larger for a vessel. The chocolatey notes and warm aroma are something I've really grown to love in the morning. If you have a Keurig I'd recommend the McCafe over anything else I've tried.

i really love home roasting. i'm not happy that i forgot to write down which beans were which but i've yet to wind up with a roast that wasn't good and it's kind of made the process more fun in wondering which roast matches to which bean.

Hey guys, I got a DeLonghi Magnifica used ($100) and I spent about a day fiddling with it (descaling, fixing/cleaning the grinder, cleaning out gunk inside the machine, etc.). I got some good beans and I am pretty happy with my espresso right now.
What should be my move from here? I could realistically sell it for $800 and use that to get a better grinder and espresso machine but idk if that would be worthwhile.

That's what a lot of espresso nerds say at first, then inevitably fall down the rabbit hole of better grind distribution, more granularity in controlling shots and steaming milk etc, constantly feeling FOMO about the next tier up.
In the end, their cumulative spending is far more than just dropping money on high end shit. It is frivolous and pointless, the difference between the Niche and Lagom is minimal, but that alone will gnaw at an espresso nerd incessantly.

Yeah, the best way to avoid FOMO is to avoid congregations of coffee freaks who will circlejerk about how absolutely mind bending the difference between a $600 and $2000 grinder is.
"It's like I was tasting an entirely new drink!"
"I totally agree! I can't go back now!"
There are obviously minor differences, but to act like it fundamentally transforms your coffee is absolutely laughable. If you already have a decent grinder and good beans, you're really at the end of the road huge gains in flavor.

I've continued spending more time looking into my grinder and dripper options for pour-over since inquiring about them a few days ago (thanks for all the links and advice so far, anons). May I have some further feedback? Seems I can snag a Kingrinder K6 for roughly $100 on Ali since there is an upcoming Summer sale/promo stack soon. So, I think this may be the best bang for buck since 1zpresso K-series stuff is 2-3x more. The thing I'm much more stumped on is my dripper choice.

I'm able to import an Origami Air-S, plastic base, and 3x100 filter packs for about ￥7300、so roughly $54 shipped from Origami-Kai (price ends up being cheaper than Slowpour after very high domestic shipping). This setup seems nice, though costs are similar or possibly lower for a Hario Switch, Cafec Flower, Kalita Wave and so on on Amazon. An anon mentioned the Hario Switch being more functionally versatile, and I can see it being more consistent, but I don't know if this would be at the expense of clarity due to shifting more towards immersion brewing or not. I'm open to trying alternatives beyond pour-over, I'm just lost rather than enlightened after viewing so many reviews and discussions on the subject.

I would reconsider the K-Plus for pourover. It's a really good grinder. It's not just the oversized c40 burr set, but the ergonomics of the external dial, the long and efficient crank handle, larger hopper capacity, and the very comfortable barrel diameter make it extremely fast and pleasant to use.

[Anonymous No.18030774]

>>18030616
I honestly think that for the average person, there are so many different variables you can alter that the type of pour over device really isnt that important. You can change the coffee dose, grind, water temperature, pour technique and time, type of filter etc. All of those are likely to have a bigger impact on what you taste than a ridged vs smooth cone I would think. A standard size 2 V60 is a great place to start without overthinking it.

You do start to get differences when you consider immersion brewing vs pour over though. But then it comes down to personal preference and whether you prefer body and texture or clarity and vibrancy.

Depends on your budget anon, Rancilio Silvia Pro is nice but if you aren't in Europe it's probably too expensive for what it gives.
I mean, it's expensive in general, good espresso machines are fundamentally just hard to make cheap because there's a lot of machining that goes into one.
Usually I wouldn't recommend someone like Hoffman, but after spending decades as an actual barista pulling 1000+ shots a week, he might be one of the better internet resources out there, in terms of actually doing breakdowns of machines on a technical level.

How do you guys afford good beans consistently? Im a poorfag. Spending 12-20+ bucks per bag (which tend to not even be 1 pound bags) near me is a drain on my wallet at times. I drink between 1-2 cups a day. In french press or a v60; the equivalent of 500ml or so. A bag lasts me about 2 weeks more or less. I could drink less I guess but I like my coffee and want to keep drinking it. I sometimes by cheap stuff like from trader joes or something which can be good, but stuff like foldgers and the like just sucks.

>Is it worth it to buy more per quantity? Like 5lb bags at a discount
only if you get like vacuum bags and split 5lb into like x(however much you use on average each day) so you have many vacuum sealed bags and then freeze them and then each night you take out 1 bag and defrost them for the next day. dont defrost and then refreeze the whole bag each day.

you can also try this method but im not sure if it works on a large scale

If you can't, you'll just have to view a """good""" bag as a treat every so often. There's nothing inherently wrong with 5/10 coffee that's in the lower teens for a half pound. Remember, just because a coffee is expensive, doesn't mean for one second that it's good. Your macerated natural from Honduras that is a mutation and infused with such and such micro organisms can still taste like fucking distilled donkey cum.
Get a vacuum sealer and start using your freezer. It's never a bad thing to have coffee on standby.

I don't use a premade roasting machine because they're kind of expensive, and there's always something wrong with them. I can't vouch for anything. Although in the future I think it would be fun to try to find a small commercial test roaster for under $5000.

Anyway, I'll tell you exactly how I do it. I clamp a decent 1500W heat gun to an old camera tripod, pointing downwards. I do batches of 350g in a 2qt stainless steel sauce pan. After roasting it comes out to about 1/2lb. I have welding goves on, and hold the pan under the nozzle while swirling it counter-clockwise in one hand while I stir the coffee clockwise with my other hand to keep it in constant motion. I keep the pan further from the coffee for the first few minutes, then get it closer when 1st crack begins. Once a rolling crack starts, I start counting and watching the color very carefully. Near 60ish seconds, I tend to lower the coffee further from the heat again because this is right around a city roast for most coffees, and it's better to go slower near then end so you don't overroast. After a few batches of a new coffee (and they are all different and you need to do test batches before you give anybody some) I usually have the roast just how I like it. I save some of it as a color sample that I put in a little cup to directly compare with the batch I'm roasting. It takes about 10 minutes. After I call it, I dump it out of the pan into a mesh collander and I pour it back and forth between that and the pan to cool it and de-chaff. This is the fun part for me, making it snow chaff and smoke out of the garage. I really enjoy the hands-on, low-tech nature of doing it manually. Put on some music. Give it a shot. After two years and about 400 batches I have ruined 3 batches. I mean, it comes out good if you pay attention to it. Pic related.

[Anonymous No.18042431]

>>18042420
Did it taste more sour? In theory, no bloom means not enough CO2 in the beans escapes, and the gases end up pushing water away and not allowing it to penetrate the beans. I find it a little dubious though, because I feel water in the cone reaches enough of a volume to soak into the beans and release gas very comfortably.

essentially from my experience over the past 6 months of refining these 2 techniques and trying some of my own variations your entire brew with the moka pot should be 100% silent. and if it makes hissing or bubbling or whatever noticeably loud noises(such as leaving it on the heat to use up as much water as possible) you will have fucked your brew from tasting like it should, essentially with the correct method the lid of the moka is pointless and just exists for stupid people so they dont get coffee all over the stove.

Recently espresso from my Kinu started gushing, and I had to go quite a bit finer before I found the right “espresso grind” again. I went from 2.4.2 down to 2.1.8, which is a pretty huge jump to suddenly have to make. Also, my burrs no longer lock together at 0.0. What happened? Did the burrs fuck up or did the tension spring fuck up?

[Anonymous No.18056195]

>>18056135
Neither probably. Welcome to the idea of "seasoning" your burrs. You've run enough coffee through them that the cutting edges have rolled over and you won't get any more large shifts from here. Those numbers are just a reference to keep in mind. My "0" is -0.0.2 so my 1 is 0.0.2 under that.

[Anonymous No.18056214]

>>18056195
My “0” is also -0.0.2, for what it’s worth. I did have a change happen a few years ago, but I’ve had this grinder for over 3 years now and have ground at like 30kg of beans through it. Surely it would have been “seasoned” by this point? I did have a fairly large “seasoning” shift happen in the first 3-4 months where it was constantly shifting, but it stabilised a long time ago.
Or did this seasoning just take longer since I mostly grind darker roasts?

[Anonymous No.18056285]

>>18056214
SSP actually recommends oily beans for seasoning. Its a real esoteric thing that we don't actually fucking understand yet. I could link a bunch of tangential articles but don't feel like it. Since you've owned it for a few years, I'm assuming you're cleaning it and reassembling correctly. As long as its still making great coffee. I dunno? I've had to press that cone burr carrier up and compress the spring while I've tightened down the adjustment screw before. 2.4 seems about where I was with the taller flair signature basket and I definitely was drifting down finer depending on the roast/age. I drank a few great shots of this at second crack around 1.9.0 today. Way darker than I prefer but its not bad. I like the balayage better but I roasted that a bit lighter.

Just tried "nitro brew cold coffee" for the first time, Vanilla. Trying to get into drinking coffee in general in hopes it'll suppress my appetite. The drink was pretty bitter with only 4g of sugar, but I didn't want to spit it out or anything. Just kept on sipping and smacking my lips on purpose, hoping that maybe I'd pick up on something else more subtle. It was smooth and creamy, that's as articulate as I can be about it.

Update - half an hour to forty-five minutes later, I wanted a banana muffin. Now normally I get one a those big ass ones that are like 400-500 calories a pop, love those things even though they're so unhealthy. But the best thing happened. I took one bite and after chewing a few times, I felt disgusted and spit it out into a napkin and threw the muffin away. IT FUCKING WORKS HAHAHAHAHAHA! No more donuts or muffins or soda for me!

Best way to filter cold brew so I don't have dust in it afterwards? Paper filters work but it takes forever.

[Anonymous No.18061346]

>>18061334
I will assume you're just infusing in a glass jar or similar. The grounds you're using should be reasonably dense and well-incorporated enough that they largely sink to the bottom of the jar or barely float in suspension, not up top. Pour slowly into another container, leaving just a little bit towards the bottom which will have most of the grounds. You don't need a filter for this. If you absolutely must, you can use something like a cheesecloth over the secondary vessel and pour over into it from the primary cold-brew vessel. All said, it is easier to just drink it straight before the bottom unless you're mixing it into another drink.

[Anonymous No.18061359]

>>18061346
Well I make batches so there's a lot of coffee in there, some of it does sink, some is in suspension, and I can get most of it out with sieve + cheesecloth but I hate working with cheesecloth and it still lets some dust through. I know I can probably just leave it in and toss the very last bit of it with the dust but ideally I'd filter it out. And this is with coffee ground on the coarsest setting btw but some dust still gets through.

[Anonymous No.18061433]

>>18061359
You'd need to sift the grounds for fines before pouring them in to reduce potential 'dust' in the final extraction. Even then, it would be present once the extraction begins and the grounds are incorporated with water. It is not really practical or effective. I don't experience any sort of poor oral texture even with grounds from something like a cheapshit electric blade grinder.

It's normal to have some remaining particles; I would not consider that dust, and even if it were, have never perceived it as a detractor to the resulting flavor or texture. It's like saying "my mud has dirt in it!", if that makes sense. So, unless you're doing it because you want to see through your liquid like it's a mellow tea, I don't see the benefit in putting so much effort into eliminating the inherent particulates of the coffee seeds. Most of the texture yoy may dislike will be lost if you just pour off slowly while viewing for grounds particulates. Coldbrew is probably the easiest way to make coffee, just chill and embrace it.

Why not? They're cheap and easy to transport on top of making some very respectable coffee. I do recommend getting an electric kettle if you don't have one to go with your press though, but electric kettles are just handy in general.
