You can sometimes find a local roaster that does sell coffee ground to a specific size, like pu, ad, areo, fp, or cb. I hated my french press until I got a good grinder that can get the grounds consistently coarse enough. Before I was using my aeropress with preground coffee, using the inverted method and lots of agitation. Now I just use the hoffman method, since I can grind fine enough too.

I bought a used fellow ode of a retarded (onions)boy that fucked with it and destroyed the burrs. For almost half of the msrp I have an ode with ssp red's now. A kingrinder may be a manual grinder, but iirc they come with a bitt you can use a cordless drill on

I've been trying different brands/varieties, but they're pretty much all good, except for decaf, which tastes too thin(?).
The biggest difference was I started buying smaller containers of grounds because the big containers go stale when I'm about halfway through.
>>18139316
I guess my main complaint is inconsistency. Sometimes I have a really damn good cup, and it makes me wonder what was different that time. It doesn't even seem to matter if the grounds are brand new.
The coffee sometimes leaves a mildewy aftertaste after I've finished it, at which point I usually deep-clean the coffeemaker, but it might also be my water, which is not great and also hard.
What benefit would a French press have if it takes the same amount of time but more labor?

>What benefit would a French press have if it takes the same amount of time but more labor?

FP isn't the most elegant method, but i feel like it squeezes the most flavor out of otherwise mid-tier beans. also less plastic is involved which always helps with taste. if you're gonna get one, i suggest getting a stainless one, glass presses are destined to shatter.

[Anonymous No.18139603]

An aeropress is also a relatively easy way to brew a consistently decent cup of coffee. You loose the oils that you would get from a french press, unless you buy an aftermarket mesh filter. Clean up on an areopress is extremely easy, you just take off the lid, pop out the grounds puck into the bin, give it a rinse, and let it dry.

[Anonymous No.18142975]

Fell for the Melodrip meme and it’s honestly improved the quality of my pour overs significantly. I’m actually able to grind finer without getting a muddy coffee bed and I’m beginning to taste the fruity, berry notes of my light roasted Ethiopian with little to no bitterness and no overwhelming acidity/sourness either. The only issue of note is that even though the bed is no longer muddy, it also isn’t perfectly flat. It’s hard to tell from the pic but there seem to be some divots/grooves in the bed. My suspicion is that it might be a result of using the stirring rod that is included with the Melodripper. The instructions suggest to stir in a spiral motion following the bloom as well as the first pour. Is it possible I might receive better results by swirling the slurry instead a la Hoffmeme method and omitting the rod entirely? I suppose I should just try instead of asking but I’m curious to hear thoughts on the matter. I’m inclined to just keep following the instructions because so far it’s been producing delicious cups.

To actually try to answer your question, your bed isn't as muddy because the fines have a chance to settle down into the slurry. Because those fines are settling and not getting the shit kicked out of them by the kettle stream, you're dodging that sourness. Hoffmeme swirl will reduce the amount of fines in the bed with by sticking them up against the wall, which may be ideal depending on your grinder's distribution.

i'm looking for an espresso machine in the realms of 200€. it's gonna be my first espresso machine so i don't need deep autism tech.
currently looking at the delonghi dedica (new, 150€), gaggia brera (used, 180€), gaggia classic 2009 (used, 140-160€), lelit anna PL41EM (used, 230€) and the sage bambino plus (used, 150€). there's also a rancilio silvia for 320€ used but that's kinda pricey unless it's overwhelmingly better than the other options.
are any of these machines exceedingly good/bad for their price and are there any other options i should look at?

my parents do, and they handsdown prefer the flavor.
I like a paper coffee filter to pull out bitterness of the finest overground coffee bits, myself. Though I like espresso, and perked coffees, over time, the high acidity it annoying to my stomach. Filters are my friends.

As far as flavors go, I don't mind getitng whole beans ground by the barista when I'm at Starbucks anyway, or using the grinder on the way out of Costco, but I've never had a home grinding that didn't make some over ground grinds, no matter the setting it's on.

[Anonymous No.18146456]

>>18136371
for a french press, my grocery store brand used to sell their pre-ground coffee in the proper grind size but stopped. Anyway, just know it's slightly more coarse. Use a grinder at the store which has that setting on the same coffe and figure out if the beans are just not good, or if it was the wrong grind size. Do a little test.

the difference is if the machine itself is heating the water (drip) or if you heated the water somewhere else, like your kettle, then it's pourover.

i know what the difference is but both mum and uncle both called the pour over technique "drip"
diners are really a thing from what i have seen/heard in australia, so the classic drip coffee machine isnt as known about and australia has had a massive coffee culture for most of its "modern" history so something like a drip coffee machine didnt really catch on, italian immigrants and refugees brought all their machines and knowledge here during/after the war so i guess we just skipped some stuff.

Automatic drip (stop saying "pour over" like a retard by the way, thanks) is not percolation. Automatic drip is what killed the percolator.
Percolators boil water which then goes up through a tube and extracts the grounds in repeated cycles.
Automatic drip doesn't boil, only extracts once, and uses disposable paper filters to let the extracted coffee go through as hot water is dripped on top of it.

Yeah instant coffee isn't the best although it does depend on the brand. More expensive ones taste much better. Although none of them are as good as filter coffee admittedly... but instant coffee requires less cleaning because you don't have to rinse out a french press every time.

There's a fucking tobacco thread on this board and you're complaining about the coffee thread?

Coffee is a drink which is far closer to the category of food than tobacco is

Fucking moron

>In test after test, blind-tasters in the Serious Eats office were able to differentiate bloomed pourover coffee from un-bloomed, proving that one can indeed detect the effects of blooming. In almost all instances, tasters identified the bloomed coffee as richer, rounder, and fuller-flavored, while the un-bloomed samples tended to have a flatter, more hollow flavor, and at times tasted slightly more acidic. A more acidic flavor makes sense in un-bloomed coffee, as it's a sign of under-extraction—the CO2 was bubbling out while the water was trying to get in, so the water wasn't able to extract the beans' flavor as fully.

So I went on a trip to Europe and loved the espresso.
Bought a machine.
Got to work making decaf (at night) and every single shot was undrinkably sour, the whole bag. Even at the finest grind the grinder could do.

"Buy fresh beans from your local roaster", they said. What if, maybe, my local roaster is a retard who sucks at their job? Or maybe sugarcane process just sucks?

What do?
I think I'm going to start again tomorrow and go and buy some shit from Illy and Lavazza or other big brands like that. To me they scream "vending machine coffee" since that's where I saw their logo all day, but maybe they actually know what they're doing and the espresso will be good.

if you drank most of them from cafes then you most certainly drank store bought trash with no roast date like Lavazza
cafes dont give a shit about speciality coffee and probably have never even heard of it (except for the fancy expensive ones)
out of all the cafes i have been to in my town i always ask what beans they use and they always point to some massive bag of dark roasted trash that has been sitting on a shelf for 6 months.

stop drinking decaf
learn more about roasting and brewing
stop being such a faggot

>Coffee that is supposed to be good.
>“knowledgeable” coffee nerd friend made me. He measured everything out and did a whole process.
both of these things are meaningless.
just because he did a process doesnt mean what he is doing is actually right.

>I made from the same beans is superior to me
well taste is subjective, if you actually care if you make good coffee, bring your coffee friend around and make some coffee for him.

>The coffee nerds cup is watery.
you havent explained anything about how you or your friend brewed so this is worthless without context.

>Needs more coffee.
the rest felt like a troll but this last bit screams bait to me.
