Doesn't exist, especially for the grind beans for you thing. There's lots of cheap coffee brewers that will make coffee for you at a set time but they're all gonna burn it to keep it warm and they're all probably the same shit as your mr. coffee.
If you want an improvement to your coffee without breaking the bank you're gonna have to start brewing it yourself.

They do the same thing in that they all brew coffee but the ability to choose your water temperature, the better water distribution, being able to time your brew, etc are all good features that make a difference.

Nothing will make as big a difference as better beans though, I would rather spend $50 on a cheap gooseneck and a v60/goypress and $150 on coffee

It's normal for people who aren't very into coffee and don't see it as a hobby because they haven't developed the language to be able to describe coffee. Cupping your coffee with someone and talking to them about the coffee is a good way to develop these skills

How many days do you plan on using it, and how much would a coffee a day at a cafe cost you? At $2.25 a cup it pays itself off in a year. $270 for a fellow ode with their 10% off and $285 for a refurb ratio 6 shaves a bit off that.

So at $1 a cup you're looking at a $365 budget minimum. I'd imagine you're paying more than that. Unless you've got a cafe on the ground floor I'd imagine you're driving there, or wasting time on another commute. $130 kingrinder k3 + the $285 refurb ratio and you're sitting at $415. Grind your coffee the night before and drop another $20 on a switchbot if you absolutely need your brew started at a specific time.

There are two issues with those $20 pieces of shit. They don't get quite hot enough(especially for your $16/12oz light roast ethiopian) and they have a shitty nozzle that brews your bed unevenly. Most just piss water straight down into the bed leaving a big crater and most of your coffee isn't hydrated or extracted evenly. You can solve the first issue by preboiling your water and then putting it into the mr coffee. You can solve the second issue by babysitting the bed and stirring with a little spoon or pulling out the carafe early to let your coffee bloom early in the brew. You don't want to do either of those things if one of your requirements is
>make coffee at a preset time
If you were willing to do all that, just get a fucking v60. So you'll pay for the convenience. I'd imagine Ratio is paying more for this showerhead than Newell Brands pays for your entire brewer. Ratio also has handblown glass lines and shit driving the price up a bit. Its a bit closer to a $800 batch brewer from Bunn than a $20 Mr. Coffee.

I'm down in the states. 2600km in 2 days for $5. Way better option than paying Kurasu $20+ for dhl shipping for certain items. Switches are only $27 there but if you've got nothing else to tack on the order it doesn't really come out cheaper. These two drippers are still on my list, purely for aesthetics, so I'll have to put in another order there soon. Got my origami from them back before slowpour had them.

How much do you have to spend to get decent espresso at home? I've heard that pretty much all the cheap espresso machines are shit, but the manual/portable espresso machines sometimes have good reviews and those are generally much cheaper.

[Anonymous No.18386514]

>>18386497
Well if we're talking absolutely cheapest, a flair neo is like 120 bucks, plus another 25 to get a proper portafilter (neo comes with a pressurized one) and then you're gonna need a good grinder, a kingrinder k6 would probably be reliable enough and is around 150 bucks iirc. You might be able to find something even a bit cheaper that works, but not by much.
Then there's minor expenses like a scale (let's say a cheap $15 one from aliexpress) and the coffee itself, which I won't count.
So in total this is $310 for the full kit.
But keep in mind that this really is the bare minimum, some anons are going to bitch at me for the grinder or suggesting a flair neo or even suggesting a flair at all. Espresso really is a hobby more than anything, be prepared to invest a fair amount and if you're not then just find a nice cafe place near you.

You don't think building up those layers takes a significant amount of time? I've seen some wild urushi buildup on multithousand dollar fountain pens. I was under the impression getting a near mirror finish like that is hard. Its not like they're just dunking it in a bucket over and over and sanding it down, someone painted on layer after layer of toxic tree sap. Just getting a thin clear seal on the wood is much less work.

In my mind getting applying a clear coat to showcase the grain of the wood is much less work than completely covering it up with perfectly even layers. Build up too thick of a clear coat and it stops looking that clear. Staining away the grain away and clear coating it is even easier. Save yourself a little dough and snag the plain black one off coffeeronin. I'll wait for the red urushi.

Kin k5/6 and 1zpresso q, xpro, and kmax/plus/pro are all heptagonal burrs like the comandante. More suited for pourover/light roasts.

What am I doing wrong aeropress gang. If I want flavor/body to punch me in my mouth, I would just brew espresso. If I want delicate, layered and nuanced flavors out of a speciality roast I would just brew v60. All the times I brew aeropress it is some weird in-between that’s not quite strong enough while losing nuances of good beans. It IS incredibly convenient for cleanup though. I have tried inverted or Hoffman’s method, all underwhelming. What’s your go to ratio/brew method you produce a specific cup to your taste?

[Anonymous No.18391584]

>>18391322
Yes, but I never said v60 is bad though? Nonetheless filter is still dripping a bit after the brew, I could bring my setup closer to the bin, or get a drip tray but have to wash that as well, or wait for it to drip out a bit more and hope I remember to throw the filter…. While aeropress you just pull back plunger a little, walk to the bin and pop it, then rinse the whole brewer in 10 seconds. Either way, both are clean in comparison to espresso. You happy now?

You need to clean the v60 itself and the carafe, assuming you didn't brew directly into a mug. With an aeropress it's super fast to just rinse the seal and the filter holder since the main chamber gets cleaned by the plunger

Looking for advice on mods for the Silvia. I have all the meme puck prep stuff (WDT, puck screen, puck leveler) and DF64 grinder (seriously I challenge anyone in here to find a better grinder for the price and no bullshit featureset). I think my prep from grind is as optimal as possible and now just looking to improve my machine itself - anyone have experience with the MeCoffee mod? Ideally I could get as close as possible to the DE1 features but I want to know if anyone's got a better kit for pressure and temp controlling it that doesn't require an MS in EE to do

I'm just not very technically versed so I wouldn't know what design differences there are between the silvia and gaggia that might potentially be an issue and haven't found anyone using this on the Silvia yet, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to figure out with a little effort though.

There's a channel in their discord called #Install-Help-Silvia. I'm going to guess the install process is 98% the same. You'll figure it out if you want to. That integrated scale with load cells didn't exist last time I linked to someone. Real fucking cool. The reason the Decent has an external scale and tablet is because La Marzocco owns the patent on a scale interfacing with an espresso machine. Decent gets around it by having the scale communicate with the tablet and the tablet communicate with the machine.

What's the point of a French press? The brew process seems identical to that in coffee cupping, except you don't plunge at the end and the coffee is brewed in the vessel you serve it in. Although if the coffee grounds fall to the bottom when you break the crust and you're skimming the foam, the plunge seems entirely unecessary for keeping the grounds out of your mouth. The Hoffman method for French press suggests that you don't even bother plunging, which begs the question of why you even need the French press in the first place. Can't you just brew it in the mug and stop drinking when you reach the bottom with all the grounds? Or even just heat water in a regular saucepan, throw the coffee out then strain/filter it when you pour it into the mug.

[Anonymous No.18392648]

I dunno I usually do an initial pour (according to hoffmeme method) then pull and rotate the plunger/filter and push down all the way for a second pour since I'm using 2 metal filter sheets and they get clogged with just a single pour. I add cinnamon and cayenne pepper to my coffee so cowboy brewing doesn't make sense since I stir a bit to keep it mixed while I drink

Are there any good mesh strainers for medium sized coffee grounds?
To make my coffee, I just heat filtered water until I see tiny bubbles forming on the bottom of the saucepan and its making a low rumbling noise, thats how I know the water is at 180 degrees, then I take it off the heat, put in grounds and wait 4 minutes. The problem is when I strain it out and into a mug to drink, some of the smaller particles get through because my mesh strainer isnt fine enough.

I think people who buy these things are obsessed with the idea of espresso more than they actually enjoy coffee. Why bother spending so much on something like that when your dollar will go much further on building a really solid coffee bar or upgrading your grinder? Espresso is all about controlling parameters and you're giving up all of that just so you can have a really small form factor and "muh 9 bars" - there isn't some magical quality of coffee only unlocked at that pressure and I'd venture to guess you're gonna get a lot of really shitty tasting shots out of that thing and hardly ever use it.

It requires no electricity, it's very small/compact, it's self-contained (no need to heat water separately) and it's easy to use (especially compared to other non-electric machines since you don't have to worry about temperature management or the amount of pressure you're applying). The fact that you have fewer parameters to control is a bonus to some people that just want to drink espresso, rather than those who care more about making it. Plus it's not that expensive, people are willing to spend far more money on this hobby.

It’s less that there are fewer parameters to control and more that you have no control over them. Grind, temperature, and pressure as a function of the two don’t magically disappear just because you’re on a stovetop. If anything you probably have to worry far more about temp management and have less feedback during the shot. You’ll still have to dial it in, you’ll still need a good grinder, and again I go back to the fact you could spend that money on a great coffee bar instead of another toy that doesn’t do anything particularly well. It’s ironic to buy something with even less functionality than a single boiler machine for the same price as one and no option to upgrade it.

This is literally the only product in the market that meets this criteria.

Acidity is when there's enough sweetness to offset the sour notes. "Sourness" is when it's too sour to drink.

>Tells co-workers that were there (including my boss and HR) that she's mad because it's our anniversary and I didn't wake her up for our "tradition" (she likes to make me a coffee and give me a kiss)
>Everyone thinks it's cute and funny.
>I'm just chuckling to myself and making dumb jokes under my breathe as wife is talking to them.
>Said how I didn't want to wake her because she kept me up til 5:30 in the morn (it was true lol) and that she better have been well rested after was done with her
>Said that not everyone like her gets to WFH all the time and actually have a place to be.
>Promised her I didn't even have my first coffee yet and boss verified it that I was complaining about being tired but didn't want to have a coffee
>Wife has her coffee ready for me and gives me a kiss on the cheek in front of everyone.
>Sip it saying she makes the best "love potions" and that it keeps me sedated for another year which makes everyone laugh
>Add a dumb joke how she uses her panties as the filter
>Everyone is laughing harder


Anyways how fucked am I in terms of HR lol? The HR girl was there and was laughing. It's been a week and no one has said anything and I was making all those dumb jokes more towards my wife, not to any of them. Is this something that can be used to fucked me over when required?

Also ever since the girls at work have been extra nice and somewhat flirty with me for some reason. What's the deal or am I just imagining things. Even the boss and HR girl have been more jokey with me even though I'm paranoid the dumb stuff I was saying could be used against me
