Post coffee and coffee accessories!

What's a good water to coffee ratio?
I'm doing 1:25 and guessing the water temperature because I don't have a fancy kettle with temperature control.
It's very easy to screw up and make weak tea instead of coffee.

To give different question:

I'm going to play with it more because I got that one time such a nice cup of coffee that now I'm hunted by it and I will work to duplicate that result.
>I will also buy the newest Bialetti Brikka in the next few days so that will bring new experiences.

Nice. Get yourself a nice journal and a fine grade scale. You'll find it easier to tune and later reproduce a good shot.

I like Espresso with a fruity, berry-like sweetness. Also, I grew more fond of a sourness, that comes not right at the beginning but rather starting after the beginning and growing pulling through the taste. It shouldn't cover the other aromas and tastes, rather compliment it. I also prefer a stronger body.

I always thought, and the local place where I usually drink coffee from seems to agree, that an american coffee (or americano) is like a bigger volume of regular coffee.

I recently bought an aeropress, to stop using the big nespresso capsule machine we have in our building.

Anyway I'm super disappointed, the coffee feels really weak. I've tried various types, different brewing times and methods. It honestly feels weak.

I really like espressos; would I be better served by a moka pot?

How fine is your grind?

Fine and medium-fine are recommended.

You're alright on the ratio though. I get a good enough buzz with 14g medium-fine with 200ml of water, twice a day, and still sleep great.

Personally, I recommend inverted method and stirring for at least one entire minute.

I just asked why you can't just shake the grounds in an aeropress instead of stirring several times.

Why does every hipster blog and video suggest you pour a small amount of water to "bloom" the grounds before pouring the rest?

What does this accomplish?

You could also try different coffee.

With concentrated methods like Aeropress, moka pot, etc I find dark roasts to be the best. The lower the acid, the better.

If you don't want dark roasts, then seek low acid coffees. Any roaster worth a fuck should have that info on their site.

did you saw prices of stainless steel on the stock market recently they went through the roof man
and this model has fancy spout and all the computing power electronics.

I prefer glass models.
I don't like how water tastes in stainless steel after standing over night, I know I should pour old water out and use fresh water
but still I like glass better you can see through and cleaning on the inside is easier in my opinion.

Whenever I pour coffee into my stainless steel travel mug, it mars the taste.
I assume it tastes worse if you brew it in an all SS coffee press and SS kettle.

I got a glass kettle for that reason, but the hard water buildup is really apparent, I end up wiping it down with vinegar every 2 weeks, it's so damn filthy looking.

Chemex is a more expensive filter. The device itself is, arguably, more attractive. That's about it. Theoretically the heavier filter makes a difference but then again so does the specific heat of the cone and stuff like that, so you can't really do a 1:1 comparison.

Yes, it's totally crazy to describe the flavour profile of inverted method Aeropress as somewhere between the two extremes of press-pot methods and pour-overs.

Especially when the thinner paper filter and and inverted method combine to push through more of the oils in the beans into the finished coffee than a pour-over would, but, due to the paper filter, less than a press-pot would.

I also have an electric temperature controlled controlled goose-neck kettle, a Barzata Virtuoso grinder, and coffee that gets overnight delivered the day after roasting.

Also Chemex: 16.66666:1, water goes in at 204f, 3 x coffee weight in 15s to bloom, 2:30 for full water infusion, 4:30-5:00 for complete extraction, #28 grind setting on my Virtuoso

Aeropress: Inverted method, 17g of coffee on #19 grind setting, 200f water, 30s bloom, stir, 225g of water, invert and begin pressing at 90s, finish by 2:00

Press-pot: 16.6666:1 ratio, 204f water, 3:30 before pressing.

Feel free to engage what I actually said: Inverted method Aeropress tastes half way between press-pot and pour-over due to the inverted method forcing out more oils and the paper filter capturing less of them.

Aeropress isn't substantially faster than press-pot or pour-over, and if you prefer the brighter flavours in coffee, pour-over methods do a better job of emphasizing those notes. If you prefer the body and flavor of the oils, then a press-pot or metal filter pour-over achieves that.

Not only is Aeropress severely limited in the quantity of coffee that can be made at once, but it also introduces totally unnecessary variables into the brewing process that have significant effects on how the finished coffee tastes (such stopping prior to pressing out all the water and hearing the hiss or not) without any commensurate gain in speed or clean up (except in comparison to a press-pot).

In theory, the Aeropress is supposedly less sensitive to bean freshness and water temperature than other methods, but this is irrelevant for someone with access to precisely temperature controlled water and a quality burr grinder.

I should have realized this brewing method was a complete fucking meme when I saw a majority of winning championship recipes using water below 185f and basically cold brewing to avoid acids and bitter flavors rather than the 195-205 require to extract flavours properly.

Yes. You get warm cold brew using 185f or below water. If I wanted cold brew I would make cold brew.

Coffee produced this way inherently has low acidity and bitterness, but eater at those temperatures is simply incapable of extracting many of the soluble compounds in coffee.

There is a reason all other hot brewing methods use water between 195f and 205f.

I own both the smallest and largest sizes. Chemex is the best choice for brewing large volumes of coffee at once with a pour-over as the largest size will reasonably be able to make 34-40oz of coffee at once.

If you are interested in making one mug at a time, other pour over types (E.g. a Hario v60 or Kalita Wave) might be a better choice, though the thicker paper in Chemex filters make it more forgiving to use than the alternatives.

A gooseneck kettle is also strongly recommended for any pour-over methods.

I picked up a second hand V3 Miss Silvia just before the holidays, but hilariously my piece of crap Breville Dose Control Pro grinder decided to take a dump (impeller keeps jamming on espresso range grinds) and I haven't had many opportunities to test it out. Thankfully the Hario Mini Mill I ordered from Amazon arrived on Friday and I've pulled at least a dozen consecutive amazingly delicious shots since then. I don't even mind the 5 minutes it takes to grind out 14-18g I need for a double. I'd spend at least as many dicking around with my Breville grinder (which is now in the mail on RMA). I think I may just sell the replacement Breville sends me and save up for a better hand grinder like a Lido ET.

And that I found to be very credible way of doing comparison by keeping notes of all the numbers to make sure tests are fair.
I too bought AeroPress couple of weeks ago but I'm not smitten by it to the extend I read in all the reviews.

I will not trow it in the garbage yet, it will be used from time to time especially will be good as a travel unit but nothing spectacular.
Aero-Press (using metal filter) has advantage over French-press because it's easier faster to clean and no need to keep truck of brewing time like with fr-press,
even with timer I got busy doing something else and few times went past the recommended 4 minutes mark.

With A-press you are making coffee without taking time off, you are there from start to finish.
I still like using my old style Moka pot.

If you like cold brew coffee (and some people do) then you will probably like Aeropress made with 80c-90c water because they will taste very similar.

In fact, I just realized that is precisely WHY Aeropress is so forgiving of bean quality, grind size, and brew time when using those lower temperatures; because it becomes like cold brew and--just like cold brewing--the limitations in the types and quantity of soluble compounds that can be extracted from the beans means that brewing variables have much less of an effect on the finished product.

That also explains how wildly disparate Aeropress recipes can win contests; because, in the end, recipe isn't as important to Aeropress as to other methods so long as you don't force any sure through the puck at the end of the extraction.

That should have been "any air." Forcing any air through the puck at the end of the press with Aeropress can force out a bunch of sour flavors from the puck into the coffee.

Virtually all Aeropress competition recipes now stop the press before any air is forced through the puck (that's what makes that hissing sound at the end of the pressing).

If you google "world Aeropress championship recipes" you'll get the recipes used by the top 3 finishers for the last several years. Most of these recipes share a few things in common: 80c-90c water, inverted method
(mostly), and they all stop the pressing before any hiss. Beyond that the quantities of coffee, grind size, water temperature, use of a bloom step or not, and time taken all vary wildly from one recipe to another.

This suggests that recipe doesn't matter that much to low-temperature Aeropress, and I only just realized that this was for the exact same reason that cold brewing is fairly insensitive to the details: Because of the limited range of soluble compounds these extraction methods can get out of coffee beans.

As for why those types of recipes tend to win, the answer is that they all minimize the downside risk in a competition environment where the coffee will be served and tasted immediately, and lots of people like the low-acid, low-bitterness approachable flavor of cold brew coffee.

On the other hand, using 195f-205f water allows you to extract a LOT more solubles from coffee BUT becomes much more sensitive to fine control over the extraction process to avoid over or under extracting the coffee and ending up with a weak, sour coffee or an overly strong, bitter coffee.

Personally, because I prefer tasting bright notes in coffee to tasting the oils, I prefer paper filter pour-over to push-pot (or metal filter pour-over), but that is a matter of personal preference.

Because by the time you make a drip machine have fine grained enough control over all the variables that go into a pour-over type method (pre-soaking the filter, precise water temperature control, timed blooming of the grounds, even coverage of grounds while infusing water during the brewing process) the machines become so expensive as to not be worthwhile compared to standing there for a couple of minutes with a gooseneck kettle and using a pour-over.

Order fresh, locally roasted whole beans and grind them yourself.

Aeropress is less sensitive to evenness of grind than other brewing methods, but freshness will still matter a lot when using 195f-205f water.

If your Aeropress recipe uses water at 185f or below, then pre ground is fine, since freshness won't affect flavor that much at that point.

I certainly get that, I just get up a little earlier and make a big pot of Chemex in the morning.

>>8423435

You can get the oils by using a metal filter on the Aeropress and brewing using 195f-205f water, the results should approximate using a pour over with a metal filter, at least in theory.

Of course, if you want the emphasis in the coffee to be on the oils I'd probably just get an Espro Press. I don't think you can beat it for that type of brewing, though cleaning them is a freaking pain.

With a press pot the main skill challenge is that you have to be able to figure out th correct grind setting by taste alone as you don't get any other indication of under/proper/over extraction.

With a metal filter pour over the time taken to infuse the water can really help from dial in your grind setting.

I'm both cases I would want to start with water at a thermometer indicated 204-205f. On the other hand, in an Aeropress I'd go with 200f water (as long as you pre-heat the Aeropress) for this method since the quick brew time and small volume minimize heat loss.

Regardless of our snobbish (see here >>8423373, lol) approaches to making coffee using different methods in my opinion sometimes drip machine is absolutely fine,
and nothing wrong with you anon, as you said the practicality of it is very handy especially in the morning and when taking coffee to work.
Don't feel bad about it.

If I was to use drip machine I would make sure that the water container is always clean, (cleaned every few days so there is no slimy build up in it), also I would buy good quality locally roasted fresh beans and ,or, grind them every morning fresh,
or if the time is of an issue to grind them in the morning I would grind them in the evening and keep in small glass well sealed jar specially designed to keep coffee.
I use this types if i need to keep small amount,(picture related), but there are others like here:

How to Store Coffee to Keep It Fresh.
http://www.coffeecrossroads.com/miscellaneous/how-to-store-coffee-to-keep-it-fresh

Do some research on it, or ask at your local roasting house.
But don't worry much about you r machine,
just don't use pre-ground stored on the shelves long time coffee, make an effort to buy locally roasted quality beans
and you will notice the difference in aroma and taste.

Yes, I do have AeroPress, just got it couple of weks ago,and still experimenting with it between the paper and metal filter.
As to the cleaning I found it to be actually very easy, easier than French-press for sure.
And I don't bother with my fr-press any more because of the waiting time (4 min) and cleaning,
and with A-press I can also wait up to 4 minutes before start pressing if I like to get similar effect to fr-press I guess.

I really appreciate you explaining this; >>8423235
>That should have been "any air." Forcing any air through the puck at the end of the press with Aeropress can force out a bunch of sour flavors from the puck into the coffee.
and
>and they all stop the pressing before any hiss.

I was always pressing till the end, till that hissing moment.
I'm going to stop before that from now on.
(Interesting that it makes so much difference).

Again, Thanks for your help.

Get yourself a Bialetti Brikka (2cups) and enjoy quality moka which is closer to espresso as you'll ever be under 500€. You want info about the amount of coffee and water?
My go-to is to start with 15g espresso, grind on 6 clicks with the Hario Mini and 75g of water. Depending on the outcome, change water in 5g steps or coffee. It takes me 2-3 tries to find the sweet spot.

No! I just distribute the grind evenly without tamp or pressure to get an even extraction. If your basket is pretty full, built a little mountain. When you screw on the top, it will "tamp" the grind evenly, if it touches the filter.

Complaining on Yelp or Facebook and being specific about it is what gets you hit with a SLAPP lawsuit. It's becoming a huge thing lately. I already did leave a vague negative one for that location and positive ones for other coffee shops I like. One review isn't going to do much though.

I dunno where you live but here in NYC if word got out that there was an evil indie barista boss on the loose, he'd be a social media darling and the sheeple would line up down the block to be told what they're allowed to drink. There's this "customer is often wrong" meme that can be really gratifying and it has picked up steam in recent years.

It might be a bigger problem in flyover land where a customer would require counseling if the "latte artist" didn't have the right expression of fake joy on their face. But it's all Starbucks chains and Gloria Jeans there anyway, so it's physically impossible for that kind of phenomenon to exist.

yes, there is something strange about that whole story.
I think it's totally fake shit.
There is no way owner or manager would be closing coffee shop so often 2, 3 hours before official closing.
I know that Head Offices with many different franchise brands have store alarm also connected to the H.Office data so they can trace it in case of brake in or fire, etc,
so if he was closing that so often they would know about it just by their notification of unusual time the alarm was set and they would get on his ass very quickly.

My vote is that this is a BS story.

As I said if this big franchise coffee place like Starbucks, they are not privately owned they are corporate stores that have managers, so unless they got

Your headaches are probably stress related or sleep related. I drink a pot a day and I regularly go a week or two cold turkey because I can't get a hold of fresh beans. Maybe I'm a special snowflake but I've never noticed headaches from not drinking coffee.

Google is telling me that coffee tricks your body that it is eating and it releases stomach acid, but since there is no food, it can irritate the stomach lining.

Maybe I'll try drinking lots of water to see if I can dilute the problem.

Also might be the coffee I'm drinking. At work we have that nespresso shit and it tastes like acid. I keep trying different flavors but they are all really acidic or bitter tasting.

i haven't checked most of the thread to see what people do or don't use for brew methods etc but i just perfected my aeropress recipe w/ the beans i currently have and thought i'd post it cause this will be my go-to aeropress brew recipe from now on.

why aeropress? easy to use and clean, fast to make and doesn't make too much.
my caffeine tolerance is significantly lower than it used to be so i can't handle brewing a whole bunch of coffee at once.
even brewing 12oz in a chemex tends to be too much for me these days.

so here goes....
inverted method, of course. dunno why anyone does it otherwise.
pre-wet yr filter. i usually do two plunges with the hottest water from my tap or boiled in my electric kettle if i'm feeling frisky.

preheat yr aeropress.

17g of coffee, ground relatively finely. usually do ~ as fine as i would for manual pour over if not a little bit finer.
i tend to prefer finer grinds for aeropress and chemex than most people. learned this from my friend who's a pro at a well respected cafe and roastery.

75g bloom for 30 seconds.
break the crust w/ a spoon.
75g more for ~20 seconds.
75g more.
~20-30 seconds more.
break and stir.
invert and plunge (total plunge time ~15 seconds).

add one ice cube. ~25-30g in weight. this gives you a total coffee volume of ~250g and leaves yr coffee at a very drinkable temperature right away.

really enjoying the results i'm getting from this. experimenting with longer and shorter bloom times i think 30 secs is ideal in the aeropress even though some people may prefer shorter.

one and a half to two minute total brew time seems ideal to me.

anyone else fux w/ aeropresses and have recipes they like??? what are y'alls fav brew methods.
