Tried out the Sibarist papers after an anon here said how remarkably different they are - holy shit he's not wrong. Don't think I'll make the switch for every cup of coffee but they're a cool thing to have in the pantry.

Bum fuck nowhere shitty post office held my beans for a long time with zero notification of the fact they had my mail. Three bags of beans. Two bags roasted on the 22nd of April, one on May 7th. Is any of this salvageable?
>>20580779if be fucking livid
>>20580801It was my birthday present and I've waited so long to buy them and I've wanted them so badly. I'm going to remove the bags and frame the artworks so that's something. Seriously though would the May 7th one be OK? Please hold me

>>20581081I was not ready.Opening the bag a fuel oil fragrance escaped. The oil slick darkness of the torrefacto beans' contrast popping out was a first.Pulled a 18g in 40 out in 25s, never had beans so gassy before where the crema took so much place.The body is extra thicc and syrupy.Tastewise the nuttyness of the robusta is really present with the absence of the rubbery taste. The caramelization of the torrefacto brings some sweetness like toffee.A nutty caramelly cuppa. The contrast is stark with the washed sl28 kenyan from this morning although not unpleasant to my palate.Proper lingering after taste. Like 30min at least.>A blend with a body marked by the robusta Africans from Angola and the accentuated soul by the aromas of Arabica from Guatemala. With notes of caramel an roasted nuts, a stimulating espresso for the senses is born.>>20580062I'd try it.>>20580321>Whales News Service>>20580422Love me some Minas Gerais>>20581564Do you blend by feel?>>20577731Did you find some raspberry and hazelnut chocolate at the supermarket?I ended up watching Inside (2023) per the others thread rec.

>>20581799>those beanz on the leftdamn that is some stark disparity in roast colori guess thats to be expected, given the processing?never tried torrefacted goff but id love toi agree about minas gerais, havent had some in a bit but i had a fantastic dry brazilian earlier this year>Do you blend by feel?i blend by weight, technically, but i decide the proportions by feelthis morning was a single dose intended for the steam machine and a milk drink, so it was a full third of each coffee, but when i blend for my moka pot i tend to use smaller proportions of robusta and yeah Inside was a fuckin trip eh? i almost wish we'd gotten more characterization for Dafoe's character and how he was before the events of the film, but the lack of that makes it a bit easier to get into his shoes and feel what he felt
>>20581564I'm drinking a blend of Cuban and Yunnan. The Yunnan beans have a wild smell that starts with apple notes and then goes into roasted peanuts and brownies
Roasted May 7th. Smelled stale coming out and very thin crema. This is a double shot in a small mug and I can't really taste anything.. What I do taste is so weak and off. I made a formal complaint against the post office (this cost me a lot to ship twice here) but I doubt it will do anything.
>>20582329>I'm drinking a blend of Cuban and Yunnanfascinatingnever had cuban, but ive been wanting to try chinese beanzyou brewing espresso?love a good malic cof>>20582382there really shouldnt be anything too terribly wrong with coffee thats just a month and a half off roast, but i suppose poor storage conditions at the post office could exacerbate degradationit could just be that it needs dialing in, could it not?either way, i love your choice of mug and im sorry youre disappointedthis afternoon i had an excellent pourover of my washed kenyan, v60 with abaca filters, pushed it to 1:18 and stirred it twice, once after the bloom and once after the single pour i did. it was like a spiced citrus tea with hints of a sort of a bergamot flavor, just lovely. and just now, i did my first roast of a java variety from colombia. it got darker rather quickly, finished it in eight minutes with a loss of about 13.6%. i ate the quakers, cant wait to try the rest (:
>>20582473I've tried them both as an espresso and in the standard drip I'm having nowThe Changs sent 2 packs with the second one being a freebie of washed beans, the main bag was anaerobic IIRC
>>20582022When i opened the bag for the first time, the disparity made me think about deer scat.It's my first torrefacto beans. The anon posting webms and youtubes about it piqued my interest.It's interesting to say the least.>i blend by weight, technically, but i decide the proportions by feelWith time and experience do you know more or less what ratio for which origin works best for your taste?>i almost wish we'd gotten more characterization for Dafoe's character and how he was before the events of the film, but the lack of that makes it a bit easier to get into his shoes and feel what he feltI'm not sure if it's by design, and although one is resposible for ones boredom, but i had to try ma best not to be bored after the thirty minutes mark. Storywise i felt it became repetitive at that point, though maybe it was intentional to make us feel what Willem felt, in which case it's a success. So i focused on the acting and the photography which were on point.>>20582382What beans are those? Neat cuppa btw.
>>20581763well then whats the cat doing there?
>>20582382how much did you order?do you have like multiple kilos of stale beans now?that sucks honestlycute cup tho :)

>>20580010I love this pastebin desu.>>20580321Silly.>>20580351Yeah...>>20580203>>20581564It came today and it seems really neat! I tried it today with cheap supermarket coffee because I just want to learn. The coffee doesn't taste as bad as a drip machine but it's still pretty bad. I've only made specialty coffee in my moka pot and I think I got used to the good light roast. So going from that to shit supermarket coffee is really strange but, learning! Sadly all this did was make me want to learn how to roast my own coffee. Personal growth seems about right.>>20569924Thanks! The scale works wonderfully!
>>20582841https://squaremileblog.com/2021/08/06/the-cloth-and-fast-filter-pack/> It is also compostable and reusable. However, we would not suggest more than 3 brews per filter. https://shop.orea.uk/products/sibarist-fast-flat-filter-orea-edition?variant=42792701853848>This paper is impressively high quality and thus also comes with a higher price. The quality is most obvious in the fact that you actually can clean them up, dry them, and reuse them multiple times
>>20582473Not just the post office but they flew from Idaho USA to me here in Berridale Aus. All the bags are vacuumed and sealed. I was surprised they were so flat tasting but I did already notice that big disparity when you smell fresh beans to stale ones when I opened the bag. I emailed them to ask if they'd ship to me themselves but they haven't replied yet :( they shipped to Denmark and the UK prior it seems so possibly they might.. I really hope so. This was expensive, frankly. I don't want to say how much I paid for this but I waited a very long time to afford it. >>20582499These are the beans I ordered. I opened the most recently roasted bag which was the Hieromartyr Single Origin. >>20582630Three bags here. I did get a neat sticker which I put on my portable covfefe cup. Also fwiw I did end up submitting a formal complaint to the post office. It turns out this house I am renting was never listed as finished being built so it simply did not exist on the register. I find that very odd however as if you're an Aussie you'd already know the blue slips for picking up packages. I was never given any email, text or slip saying it was at the PO. So the bags sat there dying slowly for two weeks at least. (I get slips left usually, just not this time.) Thank you guys for the mug compliments. The shop I got it from also sent me free "the roost" take away cups just like in the game which was really awesome. It's nice being able to share these events with you guys.
>>20581799>Love me some Minas GeraisWhich ones do you recommend? I live here yet I'm clueless when it comes to specialty coffee, I usually just buy Cambraia's yellow bourbon because they sell that stuff for a reasonable price in Mercado Central.
this one is the based one because it has niggers in it.
>>20583311name of your mothers sex tape
>>20582492>2 packs with a freebiesounds like a nice deal, i should look into itlove a good anaerobic too>>20582499>deer scatlolnot too dear, were they?>With time and experience do you know more or less what ratio for which origin works best for your taste?more or less describes it accurately, i would say. ive only been experimenting with blends for a few weeks now, but it's certainly been a learning experience. i read a bit about common blending practices on the internet first. generally its better to start with only two or three different beans, as the finer flavors can get a bit lost in the mix when you incorporate more. >Storywise i felt it became repetitive at that point, though maybe it was intentional to make us feel what Willem felti completely agree, and i think it was a very effective work to that degree. >>20582842>It came today and it seems really neat!glad youre having fun, anon (: tomorrow you shall drink good coffee, i presume, and it will be gloriousi cant recommend home roasting enough, its fun, easy, and will quickly pay for itself in savings if you want to drink specialty coffeebut it may be wiser to get more of a handle on brewing before you go buying more toys (:>>20583044thats a bummer, man. arent there decent roasters in kangarooland? i thought you guys had a solid coffee culture down therewhat with your proximity to indonesia, maybe you could order some from there? it should at least get there fasteri understand wanting to try exotic roasters, though. ive always wanted to try some japanese roasts. say, maybe you could that cheaply, too! >>20583194>Which ones do you recommendnot him, but ive quite enjoyed campos altosdunno if its in season though
>>20583365Oh yeah of course. Not in my area specifically but I usually buy Australian beenz. My back up order should be here tomorrow which is uh, my usual. Good idea about Nippon roasters, I'll look around. A perfect weeb combo. I'm honestly really surprised there aren't any roasters near me. The Snowy Mountains are a popular tourist destination, have a lot of foodies etc. Seems like a missed opportunity.
>>20583503>Seems like a missed opportunity.Become your local roaster, Anon.
I bought aeropress filters off amazon and the water just shoots through like it’s not even there. I hate the inverted method. I went back to paper because I accidentally threw away my metal filter. I’m ready to just give up.
>>20583570get something like prismo or their new cap, no need to do the inverted method
>>20583615ah i wasn’t aware of that. i’m gonna get one of those after i burn through these garbage filters.

>>20583365>campos altosGood shit, I only stopped buying it because the supermarket stopped selling it. I know a mercearia that still has it but I prefer the Mercado.
>>20584120for real... my nigga thats ruff
>>20583570put 2 papers
>>20583503whats your usual look like? if it were me, id check out kurasu first. theyre one of the better-known japanese roastersand i agree with the other anon, you should absolutely consider home roasting (:>>20583794im rather reticent to purchase coffee from amazon. just as well, its unavailable. but perhaps one day...>>20583887crema is just fines trapped in co2. it looks nice but really you arent missing much.>>20584318>I know a mercearia that still has it but I prefer the Mercado.can you briefly explain the difference between these to someone with a very basic understanding of spanish? theyre both markets, right?picrel is how i started the day, another delicious blend. right now im sippin on that dry ethiopian brewed with my kalita wave at a slightly long 1:17. it was quite zesty hot, but having let it cool a bit, i can taste this lovely cocoa flavor (:
>>20583194I don't know they weren't microlots, just the origin Minas Gerais and it was super chocolatey i really enjoyed it. It was more origin oriented than farm oriented.>>20583365>not too dear, were they?No not at all, around $17/kg. Today's coffee was much more balance with less nutty robusta taste and more toffee notes.Godspeed with the blending progress.I watched the french movie Inside (2007) because it had the same name as Willem's movie. I went in blind and boy oh boy was it a wild ride.I was also gifted a box of gourmet coaties (princess almonds), goffee time was extra comfy today.TYFRMB
>>20584538Mercearia means store, mercado means market. You can use mercado to refer to a store but in this case I'm saying Mercado with a capital M to refer to the Mercado Central, which is this huge marketplace with tons of stores we have in downtown Belo Horizonte (Capital of Minas). By mercearia I'm refering to a small store not too far from my house. The reason why I buy in the Mercado is because I go there every month to buy spices and a 250g bag tends to last me about that long. They also have a nice cafe there called Dois Irmãos, it ain't the best cafe in town but it does the trick.
>>20580010Dumb question: The darker the bean the better caffeine it'll give?

Guy with the new Flair Classic here, this is how my puck came out this morning. My tamp was a bit uneven and the puck came out all wavy on top, does that mean anything when it comes to flavour extraction? There was no visible channeling/jets but the shot was a bit more acidic than before, maybe it's related to this. If it isn't obvious I'm completely new to espresso.
>>20583570you're supposed to insert the plunger at the top after you pour in the water to create a vacuum
>>20585115Also don't ask me why the photo is sideways, I've never posted phone photos on 4chan before.
>>20585115what the puck looks after the shot is not that important whats important is how it tastes
>>20585195It tasted pretty good. Not amazing, but not something I'd complain about in a cafe either. I'm asking because maybe I could be missing out on something even better.
>>20585246i'm not the flair58 anon, but from my understanding when you remove the basket it kinda destroys the puck so any feedback is moothe's a regular so you'll have to wait a bit and he'll probably give you some guidancei'm telling you to go by what you taste in the cup not what the puck looks like
>>20585274Fair enough, just gotta keep pulling shots and perfecting my technique. I know I'm headed in the right direction because my dialing shots and the next few were practically undrinkable.
>>20580010best sweetners?for me? its caine sugardont mind stevia splenda or saccharin for fake sugar though
>>20585458for me? its panela
>>20585458I don't sweeten anymore but I used to use something similar to brown sugar. I also used to sweeten tea with honey, wonder if that works for coffee.
>>20585458milk, caramel or honey
>>20585544>caramel1:gross2: cara-mell or car-mel?
>>20585121if you crop it a little before you post it comes out the right way.
help me out iced coffee kangz. I used this method and the results were very disappointingly weak after an approx 10 steep in the jar. I used a dark roast, ground course, as all the yt vids say to do. I used it to make two glasses of 2/3 coffee 1/3 whole milk, both were weak in terms of coffee flavor. What do I do to improve this? Finer grind? More grounds? More time? Or does this method just suck and I need to buy a cold brewer gizmo?
>>20585683it's not clear. did you make cold brew?
>>20585590not gross, ca-ra-mel, you?
>>20585740cara-melwell probably more like kara-mell
I'm a taster and this is my choice.
>>20581454if you're spending that much anyway may as well go end game and get a LM Micra or DE1PRO
>>20585695yea. 10=10hours in the jar btw oops
Good mroning, it's "feels like 2°c" right now. >>20584538Like this but usually with the green cat mug or Big Pink mug. I do honestly prefer the big pink for winter because I can cup my hands and warm them. I think my coffee tastes better in this cup tho, somehow. Maybe it's because it's an actual Cafe cup? Also this is just um, some Padre blend.>>20585495I hated coffee in honey when I tried it. Someone ordered that at Starbucks last weekend though so maybe I'm wrong.
>>20585683Finer grinds in a bouquet garni bag, either 1:1 coffee and water or 1 part coffee to 2 parts waterIf this still isn't smooth or strong enough, then freeze it and thaw it out into freeze-distilled or "Eisbock" coffee
>>20580010Serious question, what's ur opinion on decaffeinated coffee if the taste is more or less the same as regular coffee?
>>20585974I love coffee, hate caffeine. I started drinking espresso because of it, the equipment was expensive but the beans are cheaper so it'll pay off in the long run. Tastier, too.
>>20585974well i drink coffee for the taste and while it doesnt have to be be gross i have never had decaf that tasted even half as good as even a mid specialty coffee.
>>20585974I'd be good with it, but coffee's caffeine is also my band-aid solution to my ADHD, so I don't know if I'd prefer it
>>20585590Care-a-mel.
What happens if I make pour over coffee with the fine coffee grind you'd use in a moka pot?
ive been known to use the french press
>>20586112You make a pourover coffee? You probably have better extraction and it might be a bit more bitter, but ground sizes are something you experiment with to find your perfect cup. Just experiment you faggot, stop asking hypotheticals. Coffee is a science
>>20586126>Just experiment you faggot, stop asking hypotheticals. Coffee is a scienceThanks Dad! I'll go try it now.
Is coffee bad for you? I don't say this as someone who drinks coffee or as someone who need ls caffeine. I have never had it before. I have no practical purpose for it and have no justification I'm just curious about it
>>20586193https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rABfboy0h6o
>>20586112You're probably gonna clog your filter if it's paper. Cloth might do better.
>>20586341It's paper but I only had 10 grams left, not 30 so I didn't bother doing it.
>>20585683>I used this method>doest say the methodWhat ratio did you use? Leave it longer than 10h maybe 18h
Bought a Europiccola. Where the fuck is the rest of my coffee drink? Not even enough in here to cost the inside of my cup.

The coffee-only thread was archived so I will repost my reply ITT. Pardon the intrusion. >>20583389>honestly, talking to you about it makes me want to try roasting on my stoveYou should totally go for it, coffee bro!The mesh roaster allows the flames direct contact to the coffee beans. I find that the coffee brewed from these flame roasted beans stains my cup much easier than other kinds of roasted beans. I can't say for certain how this effects the taste as I don't have enough roasting experience yet, but it's something cool. I'm interested to try roasting over charcoal one of these days. If nothing else, a mesh roaster would be a fun addition on a long camping/backpacking trip.Anyone else try flame roasted coffee?
>>20587877Beautiful. Thank you for pushing the limits of coffee innovation, Anon. Have you tried date-coffee; coffee infused with dried dates, or dates soaked in freshly brewed coffee?

>>20588122honestly i was thinking of just trying to roast em in a frying pan, which ive read is prone to uneven roasting but sounds simple enough and like a good time.mostly i just dont want to invest in a new toy right now but i may get a mesh basket someday (:>>20588406>that pic beautiful stuff, anon, i just love ittoday i was mostly just trying to empty out a couple bags i had with only a few g each left in them but they moka'd up quite nicely (:>>20588813i do love a good kenyani roasted picrel earlier in my popper, colombian chiroso. pretty delicate stuff, it got dark rather quickly. seems to me that high quality washed beans like these and some ethiopians ive had are difficult to bring to a city roast without this lack of uniformity. of course i will let my tastebuds do the cupping, rather than my eyes, in a couple days (: but if anyone has any pointers for achieving a more even roast, id love to hear them
looking back at some older hoffkino i found this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXCboVCDHLwwhich talks about cold and hot beans and how that affects the brewbut i wonder how hot or cold burrs would affect the grind.like if you put burrs in the freezer vs in the oven and then ground coffee.
>>20587051>>20587360>>20588406Well I bought myself a cuck cup so at least it looks a bit more presentable now. Still more of a taster rather than an actual drink. Flavour is supremely punchy though desü.

Do you girls ever get tired of discussing your frilly ceramics or do you actually discuss coffee here? Recommend me a real fuckin coffee maker. Something industrious like this. I want sludge.
is the 335 dollar espresso his most autistic video yet?
>>20591400You seem to know a lot about real industrious coffee machines, just buy the one you posted if you want it that bad.
>>20591421I have seven. Need a different one.
>>20591405Did you not watch the "What does a great cup of coffee taste like" video? You know, the one where he compares coffee to interpretive dance?
>>20591447That's the opposite of autistic, you can call it pretentious or whatever, but it's definitely not autistic.
>>20589170i’m grateful i will never ever be this autistic about hot bean water

>>20580010I have a dollar store pourover thing and coffee filters.Should I invest in something better?I also have a french press but it doesn’t make a significantly better coffee while being more of a hassle to clean.
>>20591566are you asking because youre dissatisfied with the coffee youre currently making? if so then yesare you just curious if things could be better for an insignificant increase in cost?if so then post a picture of what youre using
>>20591566>>20591737Fresh coffee beans and a consistent grinder makes for better coffee regardless of brewing method
>>20591844anon makes a good point, your grinder is the most important piece of equipment you can buy

How much difference there is between instant coffee vs the ground coffee in stores? Is the caffeine content similar?
>Ceramic Hario Mugen>300/18 fine grind>100 degrees water 30 sec off boil>5 min drawdownMedium roast Bolivian tastes like pu'er tea. Dark chocolate, almost tobacco like. Really nice
been drinking nothing but filter for like a month1 week left of filterthen we back on moka
>>20591844This is the kind of answer I was looking for.Thanks
how to get cheap cobbee to taste good?When I make pourover with good cobbee it’s light, floral, not bitter at all, and even a little sweet. How do I make cheap cobbee not taste like dirt?
>>20592502Milk and sugar
>>20590330Yeah I went and picked up some fresh beans from the roasters and holy shit these shots are delicious. Even the decaf sends me on a one way ticket to flavourtown. Got some Colombian and Italian I hadn’t touched yet as well. Should’ve got one of these lil niggers ages ago.
>>20592316why not drink both? moka is fast and easy, a good kick in the pants to start the day so youre awake enough to think about how you wanna make your pourover
I only drink covefe a couple times a month, so most of the time I’m drinking stale beans. Should I purchase unroasted beans and roast on demand?
>>20592895just go to a cafe if you don't drink it regularly.
>>20592900Tastes like shit at a cafe though
>>20592875>why not drink both?honestly way too long of a story to fully explain but there is a good reason i have just been drinking filter for the past monthfor me moka is not fasti actually found i dont like drinking it in the morning and prefer to drink it at night/afternooni will keep drinking filter but im glad to be back to drinking moka(soon)
>>20592895Fresh roasted beans often have some off flavors that dissipate within days of roasting, so I wouldn't recommend that. Just keep your beans in the freezer to extend their freshness.>>20592915Well, now I'm interested. But I won't push it if you don't want to get into it here.
>>20592909go to a GOOD cafe.
>>20592851What's that on the bottom left, grinder cup? Reminds me of a Chestnut.
>>20593265yeah, the lower half of a c3. Its a decent enough grinder for me, for now.
>>20580010Anyone have a moka pot they recommend? I'd normally just buy the cheapest one with that little Italian stereotype on it, my old one was one of those and I loved it, but I've recently become a nancy about carcinogens and shit in my cookware so I'm making choices like paying the extra $10 for ceramic drip brewers vs. filtering hot water against plastic.
>>20593514if youre just worried about carcinogens, i dont think bialetti has anything in it that pricier stovetop pots wont
>>20593529You're probably right, just wanted to take a chance to ask you guys' opinions. I'm only replacing it because I lost it in a move recently - not because it felt inadequate or anything
Medium roast natural process beans roasted on the 13th. How long should I let them degass before I start grinding and using them
>>20584538>>20587286I ordered the taster set from Kurasu. Delivery should be about 5-7 days if it's anything like my amiami orders. And ah, I see. My usual is made up of Colombia Gaitania 40%, Brazil Sweet Espresso 40% and Brazil Fazenda Bela Vista 20%. Which is the Daddy's Girl blend from Padre, to which is sometimes add a pumpkin spice blend from Gewürzhaus to the milk before I steam it. It's really consistent which is I suppose why it's become my go-to, I know I'll enjoy it everytime and it's easy to have on hand.
>>20593988go ahead and try em now if you want to, three days is enoughthough youll probably find further development of flavors if you wait longer>>20594106>kurasuvery cool anon, do let us know what you think of it>colombia/brazil blendsounds tasty (:also nice borb
Someone recommend me a coffee grinder & Storage combo.
>>20591400just any standard off the shelf Mr. Coffee maker or buy the oldest looking one you can find at the thrift store. also mix some monster in the water next time you brew
>>20594675budget?
>>20594700hmm maybe up to 40 usd? maybe a little more if its worth it.
>>20594703baitgo shitpost somewhere else
>>20594718fine I guess i'm willing to do up to $100 if its a buy-it-for-life quality
>>20594726fine here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPbVUR6Y83k

I tripped and broke my chemex.

>>20595052That sucks anon, I'm so sorry!
>>20595052>I tripped and broke my chemex.Can they operate or does it have to self-heal?
I drank onyx for a month in a moka pot and it tasted good but ran out. Then I was stupid when ordering a v60 and tried buying lavazza and it's probably as bad as folgers or maxwell. How do people drink this? It tastes god awful and I can't put my finger on what it is exactly. The 2 pour over brews I got with the leftover light roast from onyx was good at least. Although it's really funny how it tastes so similar to when it's made in a moka pot. I figured it would be different.

New roasted goods for delicate and comfy coffee time. Antioquian castillo red honey and crispy grenadian l’esterre 75.>This microlot from the Finca la Loma in Antioquia was specially produced for Carasso using a” Red Honey” process that reveals complex fruity notes and an important body and prolonged residual. Well balanced, blending candied fruits and red fruits makes it a remarkable coffee for all extraction methods.Flavoursome experience. The beans smell nice. Super tasty, balanced and complex morning cuppa. Roasted exactly two weeks ago, waited for best aromas, will see how it evolves. Much more complexity and delicacy than the afternoon torrefacto cuppa.>This exceptional Cru de Propriété is characterized by its creamy sweetness and delicate aromas of banana, fruits and nuts.>Located 150km north of the coast of Venezuela, the island of Grenada is known as the ‘isle of spice’ famous for its plantations of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and turmeric.>Since 1714, fruity and floral cocoa has been cultivated here, which benefits from the dense and generous volcanic soil.>L’Esterre Estate has been owned by the Ramdhanny family for over 70 years. The single estate is located in the northeast of the island, on the outskirts of the rainforest.>The family grows cocoa and nutmeg in strict accordance with the rules of organic agriculture and agroforestry, thus maintaining the richness and fertility of the soil.>The beans are harvested during the dry season, between November and April, then fermented at the property for 7 to 8 days before being dried in the sun for 6 to 7 days.Succulent trinitario, the crispy butterscotchy square goes really well with the little black.TYFRMB>>20589141It's my highest effort coffee pic, happy you like it.>>20588849Already did.

Is the lack of "auto-centering" something I should be worried about with the m47 phoenix?
>>20595534why what? do you not terrace your coffee?
>>20595052bummer anonid recommend investing in a v60 and a carafe, much less accident prone with similar results>>20595302drink the lavazza in your moka pot untiil you can get more specialty coffeeit can be surprising how similar a coffee will taste over drastically different brewing methods, its quite fun>>20595534just for fun, really>>20595817>important bodylolreading these little blurbs is always funlove a good honey, how fruity are you finding it?also, where do you buy your chocolate? i kinda wanna get into it since it has so much in common with coffee>>20595997i wouldnt worry about it, but i suppose its something to consider when/if you upgradetoday i tried my Colombian Java for the first time. roasted it a little above City + (by accident if im being honest) five days ago. very nice, delicate flavor, tealike with a subtle fruitiness, like peach or maybe melon. brewed it at 1:16 in my wave, so i was expecting a subtle cup. we shall see if i can pull out more fruit with my v60 (:
>>20580897>sacred cave or whateverwhy was it sacred anyhow? abbo myth seems like total bullshit they pull out of their ass.>um that mountain?>actually part of my belief systemmakes no sense.
>>20582329>Yunnanwtf, chinks grow coffee in Yunnan? fuck, it's over.
>>20596087Wait really?!
>>20596023Orfève i bought it in Carasso's shop in town, but they also have a website. Picrel comes from the supermarket, it's the supermarket's owned brand and is really good for the price. I would look around you locally if there are bean to bar producers because importing will be expensive i presume.The fruitiness from the castillo is hard to describe. Maybe like cranberry or raspberry, but not acidity like lemon or grapefruit if that makes sense, i'm not good at describing flavours.
>>20596467So tasty
>>20596087>>20596109YesMost of it is grown in the Pu'er region where they also grow the tea
>>20596071>why was it sacred anyhow?who knowshttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-55250137> "two rock shelters with Aboriginal occupation starting at least 32,000 years ago and extending throughout the Last Glacial period".(from wikipedia)so it seems that some abos took shelter in the cave 30,000 years ago and now it has to be protected for all time.also they dont really have a "belief system" more of a oral history, which is """real""" rainbow serpent yada yadabut the problem is there is like 500 mobs(clans) and most of them were wiped out so we have no idea how widespread these stories were or if its just the stories of a small number of mobs sort of pieced together and then applied to the entire country ya get what i mean?like saying all native americans were apache like look at this mapwhat the fuckhow is anyone supposed to understand anything about a people when there are this many mobs, most are totally wiped out, no one ever wrote anything down, they all speak slightly different languages and then those languages were suppressed and intentionally destroyedso for me im like ok fine whatever, have your rainbow serpent, have your dream time, have your sacred animal totem, have little coming of age ceremony but the rest of it can fuck off.also how the fuck am i supposed to care about this shit when most abos dont fucking care about it themselves

The meme arrived rather quickly.Full metal body, solid feel, easy external adjusting. Whole rotation is 60 clicks, one click is 16.6 microns. Heptagonal 40mm burr, can grind a bit more than the 30g advertised.Can't complain for 30 bucks.Only downside is the zero is not at the marked 0, but rather 19. Not a big deal and for the price is acceptable.>>20594726>>20594739For the same price get a iCafilas/Turin H40

Is there any machine that doesn't have plastic tubing inside? I don't want microplastics in my coffee.
>>20603847you already have microplastics in your cock, your balls, your sperm, your brain, every single one of your organs and so does everyone elseits unavoidableits in the food you eatits in the water you drinkits in air you breathsits in the objects your surround yourself withits never going awayyou are never going to remove it from your bodyyou can never remove it from your life

Is it a waste of money to drink expensive coffee with cream and sugar?
>>20604225depends how expensivelike $400/kg or something?but generally no, if you enjoy it more with milk and or sugar then it would be a waste of money to not add milk and or sugari buy pretty expensive coffee and often make milk drinks out of it, simply because i enjoy making milk drinks, its fun and the coffee is still fantastic.its not like it utterly destroys the flavor or turns it into folgers level garbage.

I'm gonna switch from my plastic coffee maker to a french press. Are there any good big (at least 1.5L) stainless steel electric kettles? Ideally under $100.
>>20603847You can use lever espresso with all metal brew paths, but I rather drink microplastics than to mess with all that
>>20604684I have the Hamilton Beach one. It has four or five preset temperature settings. Got it for 50 CAD on sale.
>>20605150Is that the one with the little window on the side? Unfortunately it seems to be made of plastic.
>>20604612funny how they get really angry for wanting to minimize microplastics exposure

>>20606043I'd much rather not suffer intense paranoia and anxiety which you lot seem to do. You're mentally ill enough to obsess with it, despite most of these plastic devices being bpa free. You seem to suffer your brain 30% more anxiety to get 1% less microplastics. That's a very mentally unstable trade.
>>20606058>You seem to suffer your brain 30% more anxiety to get 1% less microplastics. That's a very mentally unstable trade.Spot on.
>>20606043anon people in india swim in toxic waste and pollution every single daythey drink it they wash in it they cook with itand they live very old livesand they CLEARLY have zero problem with reproducing(1.417 billion)the average indian will consume more microplastics in 1 day than you will in an entire lifetime and they will still have 2 children on average.also not all harm reduction is smart, or worthwhilehow much harm is it reallyare you 0.00000000000000000002% less healthy than if your coffee maker had zero plastic of any kind?is that really worth giving a fuck about?like yeah sure if plastic was that bad that it even coming in contact with anything you ingest that made your health 1% worse maybe i could get on your sidebut its not, clearly.

>>20606825>I do like some of the photos, but it is not a great surprise and an unfortunate one, that now through coffee , we continue to normalize the objectification of women. We applaud and congratulate naked bodies of women because we are brainwashed to believe it is completely normal and harmless. Yet, it is not. On the INTERNET and everywhere , we see so many women, naked or half naked. Great talent is needed to portray coffee and women and covering sexual body parts with a cup is not . Again and again it focuses on our bodies, on or sexual selves… those that conform to a certain stereotype, that is in fact, far away from reality. Whilst at the same time diminishing the hard hard work of women coffee producers like me with yet another picture covering our nether regions but this time with a coffee cup!

>>20607354>anything profoundno i wouldn't say so>interestingsure BUT it is very much a liberal publicationim a couple issues behind and the quality can vary alotyou can get an issue for "free" to try it out, i think at the moment its issue 33, which i have in my lounge.i can go get it tomorrow(its currently 2am) and read through it to tell you if i find anything interesting.but the quality of everything other than the literature is always very good.i feel like $80(?) a year is worth it.also there is free coffee from roasters you might not usually have access to.this issue came with a fantastic light roast colombian.about 56g worth.issue 33 seems to have an interview with Douglas Weber from Weber Workshopsi should give that a read actually...also unfortunately they mag also has full page advertisements throughout the booknot too many and they dont usually feel invasive.also they are all coffee ads so at least it might actually be something you would want to buy.but for a premium mag i would prefer that it is ad free.i mean id prefer they make it $100 per year and remove the ads.but overall i dont think its a deal breaker.
>>20607354>can you elaborate on that?onyx is one of very very few places that has access to eugenoides on a semi regular basis, maybe the only. they basically have the most novel and interesting emergent species of coffee under lock and key, so they're very well represented in competition coffee, but their coffee is nowhere close to the other top tens when working with equal ingredients. getting good varieties are part of being a good roaster, but cmon, there's a limit to how much credit they can get for that, jiri isn't one of the best sushi chefs cause he's the only one that can secure instant orgasm salmon
