>>20436878Goffee helps me too well with intestinal transit.It reminds me of shitting urine.
>>20436878Look at that subtle off-white chrome. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a cwassant...
>>20436878I fucking love Coffee. It is the only thing I can enjoy without much second thought of what might happen if I indulge.

>>20437161Tastes burnt compared to the other roast.Not bad just less natural flavors more toasted.
It looks the same in the pic but it was quite a bit darker roast.I'll try darker next.

>>20437610Beautiful as always
>>20437780Thank you anon. Have a great day.
>>20436878Da fuq is that spout?
>>20437610>I don't guzzle down entire chocolate bars, just entire chocolate bunnies
>>20436878I brought my first ever coffe grinder for 10$, such a life changer, i dont need to buy grinded coffee anymore (they're expensive af here)any good coffee brands recommendations? I can pay up for more expensive beans since i dont drink that much coffee, so a bag would last me around 2 months either way
Magical beans, tasted like great coffee, with black chocolate notes mixed with some orange and a twist of almond puff pastry. Fucking heavenly i tell you.
>>20437915The magic goff in question.
>>20437883>The special shortspout has been designed so as to "cutoff" the drips (A), thus eliminating atypical nuisance of ordinary CoffeeMakers (B) (fig. 9).Richard Sapper was visionary.
>>20438040Looks like shit anon. Try again.
>>20438081Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Anybody do the AeroPress thing? Been using one for a while since I like strong small coffees and was sick of paying out the ass for Nespresso, but only just tried that "Ultimate Aeropress Recipe" thing and was surprised at how well it worked compared to the default method from the press's instructions, made really smooth coffee with no bitterness.
>>20438102Are you not worried brewing your hot coffee in plastic every day? It has loads of iterations with different plastics which makes me wary.
Bought some beans from ‘co. I have a feeling they won’t be up to snuff for making espresso but they should work fine for iced coffee.
>>20438119Not him, but the brew time is so short that any potential plastic leaching would be negligible to non-existant. There's already far worse stuff being added to the water by the time it comes out of your tap and even if you filter it there will be trace amounts left over. Even a lot of stainless steel cookware can leach metals like nickel and cadmium, and glass can be fragile. So it's not like the alternatives are perfect. The reality is that your lifestyle choices are infinitely more important to your health than what you decide to brew your coffee in.
>>20438165>Avoiding plastics isn't a lifestyle choiceWell okay then.
Light roasted up some Harambé sguèguedekéké La concha detu Padre. Incredible notes of citron, lime and grapefruit are present.
>>20438552My endgame grinder made the tomato notes come thru like never before. Spro for aficionados only.
>>20438119There were legit concerns with old models, but the current ones are made of polypropylene, which is very heat resistant and doesn't have BPAs or anything. As the other anon says the brew times are also very quick so there isn't much opportunity for anything to leach.
>>20438562Yucky acid :( For me its choccy milkgoff with hazelnuts :)
>>20438592>old ones poisened you>new ones are totes safe
>>20438592Turns out the polypropylene ones poisoned you too, like the last 6 revisions. New ones are Totally Safe® Tritan.

Cappuccino vs cafe latte? What we having?
>>20436878Are coffee pods really leaching plastics into the coffee?
>>20439832E.S.E. Pods are paper, Nespresso is aluminium, CoffeeB is coffeballs. You're safe ther is no plastic.
>>20439976ther isn’t?
I am in awe at how superior this lil nigga is compared to the low-tier countertop automatic machine I used to have last year, that was about the same price. How consistent it is compared to it, how much better the coffee tastes. Yes, I know for coffeeheads it's not breaking news that cheap espresso machines are trash but there's always an element of doubt when you get into a hobby that seems weirdly expensive. "Am I falling for a meme?" you ask yourself.But surprisingly, no, after an initial period of adjusting grind settings and settling on a technique, this thing is miles ahead of a cheap automatic machine.I do have a question about my experience with it, just to check if I'm doing something wrong or if this is an experience everyone has. Since getting into specialty coffee, I've had espresso at two different roasters and I find their coffee has no noticeable character, flavor notes, or acidity. It's not overextracted, it's not bitter, but it's just sort of there. No undesirable characteristics but nothing that makes it interesting to taste, and absolutely no acidity whatsoever. So am I just training my tastebuds to enjoy underextracted coffee with the Picopresso or is coffeeshops dialing in their espresso to have a bit of a higher extraction a thing.
>>20440050brewing coffee is not a hobby
>>20440062I am 10000% sure I didn't ask
>>20440066irregardless, it's not a hobby.
>>20440073that's okay
>>20440045You chose this one?
>>20439832nestle wouldn't sell pods if they were harmful for the consumer
>>20440085weren't*
I like to order from SW Coffee which was recommended to me from here. Their coffees are crazy good, and their prices are also the best (IMO). Relatively cheap for such banging coffee. Is there any other good/best places to order from online; or do you have a personal favorite? I'm in the US
Left my moka pot without washing it for a few days. Now it has a few small black spots in the bottom chamber. It's an aluminium Moka Express, so it's either aluminium oxide or mould.Tried giving it a wipe with soap (yep) and it's not coming off. Internet recommends white vinegar, lemon juice, or bleach. Before I make a mistake, what would you guys suggest?(For what it's worth I have made coffee with it since, and it's fine. So probably just aesthetic.)
>>20440050>So am I just training my tastebuds to enjoy underextracted coffee with the Picopresso or is coffeeshops dialing in their espresso to have a bit of a higher extraction a thing.Have you tried their beans at home and got more acidic results or are you trying different beans to what you've drunk at their cafes?
>>20440121One time it was the same beans I picked up later, yes. And i've had a v60 at one of the roasters and that was very very similar to what I get at home in terms of flavor with my v60. Only the espressos have been different.
>>20440114i just kinda ignore it, it's definitely not mold cause, you know, boiling water would kill it immediately
>>20440045I stayed in a place that had a huge gold one of these. The coffee tasted good. I think they're so pretty but are they actually worth the price?
>>20440133So firstly coffee is very subjective and there's quite a big window of wiggle room for "I prefer it this way," vs "I prefer it that way." But by the nature of the Picopresso being hard to maintain temperature through an extraction it's easy to make something more acidic than perhaps the roaster intends you to taste it. You can try and adjust your grind or dose or try some other variables but if you like what you're getting out of it I wouldn't overthink it too much. The Picopresso is a pretty rad little tool, I think. I sometimes take one on work trips.
>>20438628>phtalate yikes
>>20440114toothbrush and elbow grease, the internet is taking the piss on you>bleach >aluminiumlol
>>20440082I'm saving for one>>20440141>are they actually worth the price?They last forever and don't depreciate in value at all. I've never seen a second hand one for more than a 30% reduction on new price.
>>20440139Yeah that image I found it's clumps of something, could be mould or rust. Peeked into mine with a light and magnifying glass: it's tiny flecks plus a larger spot that turned out to be a fucking hole. Oh well.>>20440188I wouldn't risk bleach tbqh, but then again I have no idea what would happen. I've done the water + vinegar rinse with my old one, worked fine (and it's probably a bit more food-safe).
>>20440239>but then again I have no idea what would happenits trivial to google the ingredients of a cleaning product and its material compatibility with what you want to cleansome oven cleaner could do the job, some other oven cleaner would eat your pot. depends what they put into it
>>20438852>the fuck is black chocolateIt's a super-dutch processed type of chocolate that's jet black in color, it's famously used in making Oreos
>>20437239Maybe you're just a bitter person
>>20440270>its trivial to google the ingredients of a cleaning product and its material compatibility with what you want to cleanIt is but as we've established, the internet just makes shit up. At least 4chan has taught me how to make cool crystals.

For me, it's the Amarena Fabbri pitted Amarena wild cherries in syrup, the best sweetener, and only $20/lb
>>20440100ive not found any specialty roasters in the states with prices comparable to S&W, presumably due to the nature of their business model compared to larger roasters that are more concerned with profit margins>>20440050in my experience even third wave roasters and cafes often serve somewhat boring, probably washed coffee that doesnt have drastically defining characteristics unless you ask them to serve you something funky>>20440360so, dark chocolate
>>20440966lunchtime rowdies chocolate
>>20438191I mean shit like exercise and diet. No point worrying about the harmful effects of microplastics if you're eating junk food every day.
What's the best way to make iced coffee? Variables being how easy it is to make and taste.I think it's french press because of how dead simple it is to make a big batch and stick it in your fridge overnight and I can't tell a difference between iced pourover and iced french press

satan makes my coffee. its true too, thats pretty funny. sometimes he fucks up, but he always puts 444 in the order number to warn me. he never lets me have 666 in the order number, i'm not sure why. but hes done 888 a few times and whoah, let me tell you. that was fire AF.
>>20441740lol i did see some guy ahead in line who had 4444 in his order code. i was so fucking scared buddy, i wanted to warn him. but, if you tell people that, i'm pretty sure they would commit you lol.

>>20443205except that's not what the anon who originally used the term "black chocolate" described. he said "black chocolate is not ruby, white or milk chocolate and has between 43 % and 99 % cocoa"so he probably just meant dark chocolate. if i had to guess it's an esl thing, dark chocolate is "black chocolate" in my language too

>>20443361Shill me better dripper, I've only ever used v60 one
>>20443382Different flow makes different coffee. Simple as. Stuff like the v60 and kalita wave are classic cone/flat brewers but we've got access to different shit now. I like my origami. If I was in the market for a new dripper I'd be looking at the sworks, kurasu flo, orea, timemore b75, or april on the flat side. Probably something like a taster's coffee CT62, loveramics, hakka life, or even one of the limited sandstone v60s for cones.https://sworksdesign.com/Bottomless-Dripper-p605203046https://www.variabrewing.com/collections/flo/products/flo-varia-x-kurasu https://coffeeronin.ca/collections/brewers
>>20443414Orea looks interesting, might buy one. Or some april brewer
>>20443434Orea v4 is cool. Comes in two different tapers and with swappable bottoms like the varia flo. You can use it with flat or cone papers like the origami , but they want you to buy a tool for shaping filters on top. The open bottom porcelain looks interesting too. Tiny thermal mass so it'll brew hot. Lets the center of the paper sag a bit like using flats in an origami. I've been using april papers with mine to do that.https://usa-shop.orea.uk/products/orea-brewer-porcelain-pre-order-ships-within-april-24?variant=48037550915861
What is the drink I am making called?I make espresso and then just add milk. The milk is just from the fridge so the whole drink is cold, which is how I have come to like it; but I don't know what you call this. It is not a latte because if I order a latte I do not get this drink, it is not a flat white because flat whites do not taste the same. Is this cafe au lait? I don't live in France, so I wouldn't know. I just want to know what the fuck you call this drink so I can tell the Starbucks woman and get a drink I actually want.
Consider this.
>>20443000Taste test different waters.I suggest you do it BEFORE you drink coffee.
>>20443414what are the taste differences between conical and flat bottom drippers?
>>20443540I'm actually pretty happy with volvic. It's pretty cheap here in france too
>>20436878What if i put fruit juice in my coffee?
>>20443611Its hard to put into words. I've only gone through like 30-40 april filters and a shitload of cafecs/harios/konos. In my limited experience it seems like flats are easier to get a great cup out of, but the flavor is a little more rounded and samey? Not exactly muted, it just seems like cones "add" more, different flavor with the varied side flow and deeper bed depth. But its harder to dial in for that difference in flavor if that makes sense. Most of the time I use a lilydrip which kind of splits the difference. Makes a cone act a little more like a flat with the shallower bed.
>>20443679i suspect yoour coffee willl taste fruity>>20443504consider it considered>>20443496just ask for a drip coffee with milk
>>20440073irregardless isnt a word, and if it is its the exact same thing as saying "regardless" which actually is a word
>>20441014well because my house is like mentally ill and i live with my grandmother and dad, I'm not allowed to use the perfectly good coffee machine we have in storage because itll take up space on the counter. Instead, our barista express is used solely as a coffee grinder (and milk foamer the once every two months i decide to make a latte lol). I want to make a big batch of iced coffee, but the only way thats possible for me is if i use the pourover. I think we have a french press but the grinds are so obnoxious to clean, but maybe once for a big batch might be okay.

New to coldbrewing. I have 75g of coffee in 1L of water. Will i need to dilute it?
>>20445639Probably not. It's all personal preference. Taste it, dilute it if it tastes too strong, leave it be otherwise.
How much ground coffee does it take to make one cup in a french press? I read it takes 3 tablespoons but that sounds like too many.
>>20444555absolutely serious. the Alessi 9090 designed by Richard Sapper, the designer who gave us thinkpads, is a damn sexxo moca pot as you put it.for more of his designs checkouthttps://richardsapperdesign.com/richards-products/

Gonna start roasting my own beans soon. Anyone got any tips for roasting dark roast? Once you hear the second pop, how much longer do you roast it? I can't find a very concrete answer online.
>>20444524irregardless of your wrong opinion, irregardless is a word.
>>20445983why does it know the slang "based"? Have you trained it with 4chan threads?

Okay, /ctg/, I need your advice. My coffee maker died, so I'm in the market for a new brewing apparatus. What do you recommend as my next purchase: v60, aeropress, french press, or should I just get another drip coffee maker (and if so, which one)?

New washed ecuadorian beans bros. >In the heart of the Andean Chocó, one of the planet's 7 biodiversity hotspots, the Las Tolas plantation is the result of a project built on passion and a quest for excellence. Located in the foothills of the Andes at an altitude of 1700m, the plantation has been managed since 2004 by Arnaud Causse. He has planted coffee trees outside the traditional production areas, where the terroir enjoys a unique environment.>Grown on deep soil whose composition has been enriched by volcanic eruptions, several varieties of coffee trees are present:>A 6-hectare plot planted with Pacamara and Bourbon.>A 4-hectare plot planted solely with Bourbon.>A 12-hectare plot made up of a blend of coffee varieties such as Caturra, Catuai, Galapagos, Kenya and Java.>Under the shade of aliziers, banana and mango trees, the cherries ripen slowly and in the best possible conditions to bring out their full aromatic potential after roasting. The plantation also provides a habitat for a large number of animals. Every year, at harvest time, the people living near the plantation come to pick the most beautiful cherries with the greatest care.>The cherries are then placed in water baths to extract the coffee beans. After this first stage, the "parchment" coffees are immersed in water to ensure fermentation. After fermentation, the parchment coffees are dried naturally, i.e. in the sunlight. This stage also preserves the aromatic quality.Really light roasted for filter, pulled a ristretto because why not, the cuppa has indeed citrus notes like grapefruit i'd say. Not the acidity you get with underextraction. It's not unpleasant, but can't say it's what i look for in a little black cuppa. Will have to brew it as a filter coffee to see if it's more enjoyable to me.Body is rather thin and aftertaste fades quickly makes for a delicate sensorial adventure.

What is the best coffee bean to eat? Like just eating coffee beans and not coffee.
>>20448546No idea what the beans were but a place I lived in California had a small chain called Human Bean and their chocolate coffee beans were the nicest I'd ever had
I buy one of these every morning. It keeps me alive. I know nothing about coffee. How difficult is it to replicate/improve on this sort of drink at home, and is it cheaper than buying cans? ty in advance for advice, insults, pagan curses.

>>20448828Cold brew is extremely easy to make. Just get some coffee and some filtered water and mix in a mason jar and leave for 24 hours. Good ratio is 1:8 coffee to water. If you really want the "mocha latte" flavor go at some milk with an immersion blender, and add some chocolate syrup.

Is this bad?
>>20446194French press is easiest/least effort for a daily driver being robust to a wide range of grinder quality, same with aeropress but that's a little more involved (and paper filtered rather than metal).V60 needs a better grinder than either of these.Moka pots are fun and cute if you like milk drinks Croissant and americano for my breakfast today, with a sumo citrus on the side. Feeling good and just took a massive coffee shit.
Opinions on decaf? I quit coffee recently and I feel significantly better, however I do miss the taste and the ritual of it.

>>20449467You're sweet. Though i don't know what starbees means.
>>20449602Decaf is great but remember it still has some caffeine in it.
>>20449650You know exactly what it means fudgeguzzler.
>>20449712I don't but i searched it on the interwebs.Google's first answer is reddit posts about Starbucks, so i'll presume that's what you means. It's so nice of you but i'd assume Starbucks' baristas latte art is much more skilled than mine. It's really not a popular coffee choice around here though so can't tell.Anyway decaf is great for some milk drawings trainings late in the day without impaired sleep hygiene.Here's another one of my attempts at a heart accompanied by some bittersweet suprême authentic black chocolate.Have a nice day fudgeguzzler (truth be told, neither do i know what this means, weird vernacular teacher).

>>20449850That's a 2dl cuppa so 3cl espresso, 1.55dl milk, 1 square chocolate.
>>20450286I think you just like milk and chocolate. There are simpler ways.
>>20438607I miss him bros, the worst president of a better time
>>20450350The milk drinks are afternoon decafs. I slacked this year and have just started drinking them since the beggining of the month.Gotta train those drawing skills amirite?Here's a pic from this morning's Las Tolas ecuadorian light roast. Pulled it as a café crème (no milk in case you are wondering). It's has more place to express it's flavours, though it seems the coffee zigs when you expect it to zag you know?Tomorrow morning i'll try it as a coffee filter, either coffee chronicler's supertasters french press, or Kasuya's switch recipe. Maybe you can help, which one would you pick?
>>20450350As for milk and chocolate, i've got this amazing grand cru hot chocolate from Philippe Pascoët, 64% cocoa.It's bussin fr fr as the youngins say. But it's out of scope of this general's, though rest reassured i also drink plenty of hot choccos.
>>20450374Gritty immersion or a switch recipe from a guy who specializes in jap dark roast. Both great options for a light roast.
>>20450374just do a high temp, high agitation, high extraction v60 a la brian quan

>>20450350Anon should look into Caribbean chocolate teaIt's pure cocoa beans roasted dark at high temps like espresso, spiced with vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and bay leaf
>>20449835I've done it before with like medium roast. It comes out fine, I eventually got better as I did more batches and all the beans came out more evenly cooked. I roasted the beans inside once in my apartment and learned that it needs to be done outside shortly after.
Jarrah is my guilty pleasure
>>20436878So, question: I usually drink highly three cups a day of brewed coffee (no it isn't decaf). I woke up earlier than usual only to remember I forgot to buy more and realized I was out of my usual coffee and tried my friend's instant Starbucks packet coffee instead. Now, I've never done meth, but I can only imagine this is as close as I can probably get... fast foward 48 hours and I do not feel the need to even close my eyes, let alone lay down. What the fuck is in these packets?

I drink 3-4 milky coffees a day, effectively 1-2 pints of milk. Not lactose intolerant but chugging milk hurts my gut.Tried oat/coconut/etc. alternatives and they didn't have this issue, but unfortunately proper milk is fucking delicious. What are those Lactofree milks like? Do they just taste like ordinary milk, but with no/less lactose? Don't mind if they're not as sweet.
>>20451653no clue but have you tried cream?
>>20451658I have yeah and it's lush obviously. Maybe too heavy.I make moka pot coffee so the rest of the mug has to contain something. I don't mind black coffee made other ways, but I don't get how people just water it down with hot water. Maybe diluted cream would be good or maybe that's just back at 'might as well have milk'.
>>20436878i wish i had the spare cash for that fancy ass moka pot in the OPthat thing looks fuckin awesome

>>20451674just make good coffee in your moka pot so you dont need to dilute it with garbageim drinking a little cup of washed moka from sulawesi right now and its fucking delectable
>>20451674This is one reason why I got a six cup moka. Brews just under 200g of coffee for me to enjoy in a 200ml cup. The basket fits a maximum of 30g ground coffee, but the taste improves dramatically when it's under-filled. These days I'm using 20g – 25g ground coffee per brew. Not as strong as regular moka, but far superior in taste. This is the only reliable way I've found to avoid that astringent taste that seems to be characteristic of moka coffee.

>>20453478>He doesn't drink tea pressed into cakes stored in questionable high humidity conditions for long periods of time. Pleb. The mycotoxins is what allows you to achieve Cha Qi.
>>20453538Idk. A lot. Like 30g of coffee in one sitting I guess. I am permanently single so I don't care what others need. Also I need to be able to use filters.
>>20453432i just use one bag with a larger amount of water in a 20z thermos>>20453571the three cup is generally considered big enough for one but that only does 20g, makes like 70-90 mls depending on how you do iti dont have any experience with ss vs alu but ive heard the ss ones taste funnyeither can take an aeropress filter >>20453478different things are different, what a shocker
>>204535716 cup stainless steel Bialetti Venus. Funnel fits 30g of ground coffee, and 6 cup model fits aeropress filters perfectly so no need to mess around cutting your own filters. I recommend underfilling the basket (20g –28g instead of the full 30g) for better flavour.
>>20453669>i dont have any experience with ss vs alu but ive heard the ss ones taste funnyNo funny taste from my stainless steel moka. >either can take an aeropress filter The aeropress filter will cover the gasket in the Bialetti 3 cup models (58mm funnel diameter). This could lead to leaks and coffee wastage. If you want a 3 cup moka with the ability to use aeropress filters go with Giannini 3 cup (63mm funnel diameter) otherwise go with Bialetti 6 cup (65mm funnel diameter).
>>20453686>The aeropress filter will cover the gasket in the Bialetti 3 cup models (58mm funnel diameter). This could lead to leaks and coffee wastage.ive never had an issue using filters with mine but thats of course entirely anecdotal
>>20453686Every gianinni that has been posted here has been defective.
>>20453689It happened to me. That's why I'm advising you.
>>20453767i believe you, dont worrythanks for correcting my ill-informed advice, i dont want to misinform folks
How often do you guys make a frankenbag of beans? Like you save the last 10-20 grams of your bag[s] and add them all to one single bag to a have mix of them all. I do it pretty often and right now the brew is pretty nice. Kind of fruity and buttery for lack of a better term.
I was very disappointed with yesterday's filtered coffee, which tasted like water flavoured coffee. It again reinforces the idea that filter coffee is not for me.Today I used the Las Tolas in the Bialetti and frankly it wasn't bad. Admittedly the roast is not my favourite, but the body of the coffee in the mouth was not unpleasant and resembled a coffee.
>>20454168I mix the last few beans with the new bag so every bag.
>>20454301Might not be a good photo but your shit looks weak dawg. Looks watery as hell for a moka brew. Should try a finer grind with more beans overall to get a more espresso-like brew. Or better yet should just get an espresso maker, manual or otherwise. Filter and espresso, and others, all offer different tastes/etc and maybe you just only like darker or thicker coffee like espressos.
wtf mokafrà stops drinking goffee and less than two (2) months later this is happening in Milanogoffee must be bad for you?>>>/wsg/5534529

>>20454168i try to avoid in general because im interested in origin characteristics but sometimes ill mix old and new of the exact same bean if i have it>>20454434lol>>20454301when you say filter here, are you talking about filtered moka? moka can be finnickyanyway i decided to measure my own to make sure i wasnt talking out of my ass yesterday and here we have it, more than 90mls damn tasty cup of natural kenyan, too
>>20454434He dropped coffee for his true passion. Jamming things up his ass with the Italian proud boys.
>>20454417>maybe you just only like darker or thicker coffee like espressos.yeah nobodyi know drinks filter coffee, must have something to do, although the light roast is not bad as espresso or moka, but would not be my first choice.>>20454434LOL.>>20454976No it was the coffee chronicler's supertaster french press. Fine grind, boiling water, agitate well, wait 1min, agitate to break the crust, wait another minute and plunge with paper filter on plunger.Tbh i never tried filtered mokapot and also almost never use it. As an espresso it's also not bad, not the taste profile i'm used to though.
>>20436878is the Alessi 9090 a meme?
>>20455566It's a moka brewer. They're all memes.
>>20455499Have you tried low ratio immersion brews, like French press or Hario switch? Try a 1:12 French press brew. Grind a little finer than pour over, stir vigorously after adding the hot water, and let it steep for 15 minutes or longer. If you don't have a French press, you can accomplish the same thing in any heat-safe pot or vessel, all the grinds should settle after 15 minutes.
>>20455753>15 minutes or longer
>>20455783Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot you're such a busy man, what with posting on the food and cooking forum and all. Please accept my most humble apologies for wasting your precious time. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive this egregious error. I will try to advise you more appropriately next time.
>>20455566no
>>20455566i can only assume nobody here owns one or they wouldve posted about it by nowso well never know>>20455753>15 mins sounds like filter kaapiive been thinking about trying to make something like that using my cafetiere, with the grounds on top of the filter and the coffee collecting below>>20455499if i were you, i wouldnt rule out filter coffee categorically based on one brew using such a, shall we say, creative techniquebut thats mostly because filter coffee refers largely to percolation rather than immersion brewing
Is there a better combo than coffee and muffin
>>20456200It's gonna spill. Just coffee will do. Don't need any thing else.
>>20455983>sounds like filter kaapiYes, that's the idea. Something similar in taste to filter pourover, but closer in thickness to moka coffee.
>>20456213it's a packaged deal?
>>20455983I should've specified 'filtered french press' same as moka pot and espresso are both percolation brewing but are not filter coffee.Anyways i came to the same conclusion when i drank a percolated filter coffee brewed by Emi Fukahori at MAME. And every other time i try it, but that doesn't mean i won't drink it.I like to change brewing methods from time to time as i enjoy coffee diversity as you get more reference points to compare and enjoy your preferred cupa. Things would get boring otherwise, at least for myself.For me, it's the expresso. Quick, tiny and delicious.
>>20457175i get youtrying new things is one of the greatest joys of coffee [:for me its pour over, i love the level of control it provides to tweak things once you know what you want i like to start my day with a moka, though, and thats what im drinking right now, using a french roasted robusta from Guatemala its my first time trying robusta and im surprised at how much body it has and how intense the umami is, which is kinda weird to say for coffee the flavor reminds me of black garlic oil, curiously enough>>20457153>>20456200anyone got any good muffin recipes to share?

How to make good coffeeHave finely ground dark roast.Turkish/Bosnian method - gives slight burnt tasteHeat up brass/coper cezve and separately heat up water to close to boilingPour 1 mound tea spoon of coffee into cezve per serving (and sugar if you have to ruin it) and shake it to absorb heat. If you like oaky burnt taste put it back on stove for a second or two.Pour hot water into cezve and mix it with tea spoonPut it back on stove till it rises right to the topScoop the cream of the top with spoon and pour it into fildžan. Pour rest of the coffee into fildžan slowly so that grounds remain in cezveRest of balkan method. Pour water into cezvePut it on heat to start boiling, remove it.If cezve is more than half full pour some of the water in separate mug.Pour 1 mounded tea spoon of coffee into cezve per serving (about 1/2-1dL). Mix itPut back on heat to rise, remove it before it spills over.Wait 10-15 seconds and put it back on heat up to 3 times for stronger flavor if you wishPour it into cup

Also one where they had french press on the menu.A lot of small coffee shops are popping up compared to last year that specialize in pour over.>they like their shit dark over there, right?I think they just don't like the acidity so most coffee is dark roast or medium roast from South America. Ethiopian or Kenyan coffee is rare and actual light roast coffee simply doesn't exist.>how do you like the Mugen?It's perfect if you like single pour recipes. The same recipe on a V60 results in watery coffee because of the spiral ribs.
I regret getting the Profitec GO because no one mentioned the solenoid valve on this machine is shit and your pucks will always be muddy and a nightmare to knock out and clean. My coffee experience always gets ruined by the wet turd that plops out of the portafilter and that I have to clean under the sink because only 60% or something of the puck is knocked out. Everyone with a Profitec GO reports this issue. I hate YouTube reviewers. I wish I stuck to pour overs.
>>20461357ok but how does the espresso taste? wired boomer has a video on dosing by volume
>>20461428Good espresso doesn't actually taste all that good. it's way to bitter and strong but that's ok since its something like 0,25dl of fluid.Whole point of espresso is to be made in under 30 seconds and to be just thrown down the throat, It has more caffeine and other chemicals that activate your taste buds than a mug of filter coffee so all you get is an overload.
>>20461428Tastes alright but I think I just don't like espresso itself too much. Makes amazing milk drinks however. I make a flat white with 160ml milk and it makes me wish I went with a heat exchanger or something instead.
>>20461499I have to mention that the reason I say I figured out I probably don't like espresso too much is that even the best espressos I've ever tasted, taste 10x better as an Americano or something. A shot of espresso on its own always has a sort of unique bitterness that I guess people just call "a strong taste".
>>20461517>>20461517were you not aware of this before buying the 'chine? does it have a good resale value? you live and learn maybe you can find a 'chine that suits you more
>>20461530I'll tell you what I thought, I thought that the only way to emulate the thick and void-black big cups of coffee I'd get from cafes is with an espresso machine. I'd enjoy my medium and medium-light roast brews on my V60 but I started to get really bored of the tea-like body and acidity with pour overs. Suddenly, I figure out methods (like the center pour method) to use medium-dark roasted beans (on the verge of oiliness) to brew a coffee without any sourness or bitterness and my god, I never knew you can get such an Americano-like taste with actual body and just the right amount oils passing through the filter from a V60. Basically, I tried too hard to chase that traditional type of a cup of coffee that I went down a rabbit-hole that I regret because I had the equipment all along. Now I realize the best use of an espresso machine in my opinion is to make milk drinks, because that's the unique thing it can offer as no other coffee brewing method gives you a base so concentrated to use with milk. I can already get the mugs of black coffee that I want from pour overs. Idk how to figure out what resale value it has. I never sold anything like it before lmao. Good time to figure that out I guess.
>>20461484Just say you don't know what you're talking about and move on.
>>20461570look on facebook marketplace, your country's ebay or caraigslist. set a price you're willing to "loose" as if you had "rented" the 'chine during the time you used it.do you make multiple milk drinks in one go? it all comes down to personal preferences maybe going thru the hassle of reselling is not worth it and you're chasing the dragon and might be happy with the GO down the road.
>>20461571Actually i never made an espresso. Just drank it so you could say I don't know what I'm talking about. But I sure as hell know how it tastes when it's made properly and I know a bit about it's history.

>>20462098French Presses are very easy to make and cheap, it's what makes them a common suggestion for newcomers looking to get more into coffee.Only recommendation beyond brands I can make is, if you get a glass one look for double-walled construction for thermal retention and durability.

>>20461870>i wonder if thats partially because of the negative connotations associated with acidity, the same way some people take great pains to avoid bitterness when both are to a degree an unavoidable aspect of the flavor of coffeeI think back in the day only boomers visited coffee shops as a means of socializing. Since they didn't like anything remotely acidic, shops stocked only dark roast coffee. Now that more coffee shops are opening and catering to a wider audience, I expect more interesting coffee to come from Japan.Or Asians just have a different taste palette.>what kinda papes do you use with it?I've only tried the white Hario ones.
