That might get delayed, or fail to deliver on its lofty promises, or just never come out at all. I'll wait until someone has it in their hands and several third parties with no involvement or stake do an impartial review. That thing needs a lot of complex software and mass production.

The beans might be decent compared to shit like Starbucks, but their coffee is ass imo. Used to work there in high school and even before I got into actually making good goffee I thought it was bad. For their espresso drinks they use the same shitty superautomatic machines every fast food place does that pulls crap shots and nobody ever cleans. For their drip coffee it's just your bog standard industrial drippers and it sits around getting burnt on a hotplate. If you manage to get a cup right when they make a fresh pot it might be passable but it's not going to be good.

> Grade four has the most number of defects and the beans are quite mixed in size. Grade zero doesn't even exist...until now. But does that make for a good cup of coffee? Well in this case it certainly does. Balance? Exceptional. Finish? Clean as a whistle. Body? Silky smooth. Acidity? Effervescent. I'm all out of adjectives, but I think you get the point.

I used a flair signature(before the pro2 and new brew head) for years before getting the 58. They're great. Haven't used a picopresso but people seem to like them. I can only assume its more "work" pumping over and over vs a gradual press on the flair. Once you get your preheat workflow down its not a big deal.

You could just get one of those pod machines, anon.

But I'll say it upfront - they're overpriced and shit.

You're options are more or less as follows:

1) get a pod machine: they're convenient but overpriced and make shit coffee. You'll still also need to get a bunch of flavoured pods.
2) get or make a bunch of coffee flavoring syrups.
3) get a bunch of flavoured coffees and figure out a method that makes good coffee for you.

You can do whatever the fuck you want since you seem so intent on the pod machines, but I'd recommend option 3. Pod machines are pricey disposable crap, and the convenience they have is double edged when you realize they aren't versatile at all if you want to change things up. A ten or fifteen dollar French press will do the same thing a hundred dollar Keurig will while costing less and charging you less for the coffee you're using.

If you have the cash to splash out, you can get better coffee from a higher-end machine. It'll run you about $150-$200 (usd) though. Pick one from here https://sca.coffee/certified-home-brewer.. I like the Oxo 8-cup. It does a pre-infusion cycle automatically, keeps the water perfect temp, has a showerhead with lots of ports to distribute the water very evenly, has a thermal carafe and no heating pad so it doesn't scorch your coffee, etc.
Or, you can always make fantastic coffee with a cheap hario v60 and a gooseneck kettle...

I really don't know, it claims to be able to brew coffee longer but since there's nothing but squirting water involved it probably just reduces the water flow a bit so it doesn't push coffee so quickly down.

I have one that's a smaller version of the currently for sale Sage/Breville Choc and Chino Milk Frother and it's fine. These all work on the same idea, a magnetic effect spins the whisk in the bottom to aerate the milk and heats it with an element under the jug.
They usually come with one proper whisk for making highly frothed milk, and a second spinner with no whisk bits that will still make some froth but is mostly about mixing (I use this one for mixing instant coffee).
Most have three main settings,
My one tip is to get the biggest one you can because frothed heated milk expands in volume massively and even if you stick to the fill lines, using the frother whisk will often see milk bubble over the top and burn on the heating element.

Finer grind, higher temp. If it's sour either it's under extracting or the coffee you're brewing is just really acidic.

Does the brew taste weak and sour or just overly acidic but with good strength? What ratios are you using? What kind of brew time are you seeing?

Bear in mind that the lighter the roast the harder it is to extract, so you need higher temp, finer grind, or both. For example, the Hoffmeme generally advocates using water at a full boil for actual light roasts, so don't be afraid to push it all the way up there just to see what the difference is and adjust from there if needed.

Also worth noting, how old are the beans? When were they roasted? How are you storing them?

I suppose more on the acidic side. The caffeine is definitely there, it just has the mouthfeel of tea (kind of thin/watery?)

>Also worth noting, how old are the beans? When were they roasted? How are you storing them?

Yeah that definitely sounds under-extracted. If it seems like the brew is going particularly fast, grind finer (targeting ~3 minutes total brew time for something like a v60 is pretty normal, not sure how different that is for chemex, though I know the thicker papers tend to slow things down in general so maybe target a bit longer on that). If you're pretty happy with the time, go hotter. Push both until the cup turns out slightly more bitter than you want then back it up and you've found your sweet spot.

Moka coffee is stronger than espresso, 1 cup (espresso size ~ 6-7 grams of grinded coffee) has about 120 grams of caffeine and you don’t want to exceed 400 grams of caffeine daily to avoid the collateral effects, so it’s good for 1x3 cups of coffee or 3x1 cup of coffee.

I'm too lazy to make it and I'm assuming it'll be updated with more burrs soon. Not sure why they used the 3 screw mazzer 80mms instead of the 2 screw ditting/mk though.

Freeze dried coffee is good or nah? Or should I just stick to whole coffee beans religiously? I'm trying to get into coffee making but just had some dumb questions.

like, instant coffee?
no, instant is bad(except for 1 kind but you are too poor to afford it)

if you don't grind and brew it fresh, it will taste a bit muted by comparison
you might want that (e.g. cold brew), but usually don't

So the latter then? Just stick to whole coffee beans and grind them yourself?

[Anonymous No.19163940]

>>19163890
yes
grind the exact amount you are about to brew with.
for maximum freshness.
also try your best to buy beans that have been roasted at most 1 month before purchase.
(personally i dont buy beans more than 1 week old)

ton of static with grounds, what's it mean?

[Anonymous No.19164107]

Just add water

It improves clean-up? Mind try it

Improves clean up and you'll get more coffee out of your grinder (like 15g out instead of 14.8 out but still)

[Anonymous No.19164411]

>>19164105
>static with grounds
You have an imbalance between the charge of the particles of coffee and the grinder.
I speculate you don't do feng shui.
One way feng shui promotes balance is by using the five elements: fire, earth, metal, wood, and water. Flowers, plants and trees, and wood furniture are all great ways to incorporate wood into your home to harness creativity. Try adding candles or shades of red and orange to maximize the fire element.

Just got my k6, overextracted my first brew but damn if it wasn't more uniform.

[Anonymous No.19164559]

Mine's always like this and I think it's fine.
I cut the heat much earlier though.

[Anonymous No.19164781]

it removes static anon... which means no clean up.
doing it just a little bit will massively reduce static.
i wet a tablespoon and shake it a couple times then stir and repeat this like 3-5 times and i have zero static.
try to do this before adding the beans to the hopper or grinder obviously.

You obviously didn't tell her you didn't want it ground or she would have known which is why it's your fault. Sad how proud of yourself you are for not getting mad at her for your own failing. I bet you screamed at her a lot when you were a child when she didn't get you the right pokemon toy.
