hey, how about this one, ctg. what's the current "the best of" list of gear for the end of the year of our lord 2024?from what I gather:>pouroverswitch>drip coffee machinethe m. master in bright oranje with step down adapter to 120 US volts per gallon>manual espressoflair, but which one? no picopresso?>semi automatic espsage (goes in every field) barista express>aeropress with flow control cap to glue the filter to the plastic ruining everything and to imitate loudly bowel movement sounds>moka potthe stainless steel one?>grinder handkinu something>grinder motordf54. or was it 64. who makes those? I've seen some brown people in promos, not your regular chink brothers.am I missing much?
>>21005040oh, for the actual coffee it has to be the blue jamaica mountain mystery blend from kirkland, shame it's US only
>>21005040>who makes those?
So has anyone done the reverse rotation mod and installed the ditting burrs on their df54?
>>21005040>barista express It's the bambino if you're talking about budget machines. BDB for dual boiler especially if you live in Aus.
>>21005093Iced coffee is healthy if you don't add sugar into it.
>>21005071Yeah, I believe that fat guy on youtube did. What's his name again?
I know the kickstarter ended ages ago but did anybody talk about the Meraki? I know kickstarters are sketchy at best and I hardly trust some of the reviews but with the timemore collaboration it seems somewhat legit because I doubt timemore would want their name attached to a failure. Does anybody think this could be THE recommended all in one espresso machine? Or will it have obvious quality control issues?https://www.merakitech.com/
>>21005143sage the Bambino, all right, 280 euro now, was 230. seems like a winnerany other insights?

>>21004761you ever drink a coffee that hits you like this?
>>21005685Dirty Chai from a cafe in my hometown.
>>21005690"Dirty Chai" sounds like some kind of gay sex act
>>21005742no thats a dirty sanchez
>>21005442Glitch and Keilo (I went to the akihabara bar on the second one) were the best for me desuAlso Lonich in tokyo, they have a nice tailored experience(I hope you speak japanese, it can be a bit of a pain)>>21005685shit-quality pour over.

>>21006104also kurasu if you are in kyoto, people there are really chill and they sell coffee accessories (while accepting card), but it would be better if they didnt grind on a fucking varia vs3
>>21005685I often drink the same coffee I did as a kid so I don't really get nostalgic for it.
>>21006161grim
>>21005238I would get the 64s, cheaper and more burr options. If I get 78 I would get the non-S version for hybrid burr, out of curiosity for its filter coffee. That’s just me, I love filter more than espresso. You should mention your use case and needs so others can chime in
>>21006104>there is no good moka potsmart of you to put the bait at the end
>>21005238>>21006178I want something that does espresso grinds particularly well and is at least okay at filter coffee grinds. I prefer espresso and drinks like an Americano over filter coffee, but I'm also lazy and make coffee for 5 people in the morning so I want to make a pot of coffee too. (as it is, it's often just preground and we rarely break out the hand-grinder for filter coffee because grinding that much coffee by hand at 5-am isn't fun)So largely looking for a big leap upgrade that will do daily driver fine but my preferred drinks great.
>>21004884t. addict
I ordered a hoff decaf taster pack.
>>21006209This was me serval months ago.Now I have a Mazzer Philos (I189D) and haven't looked back.
>>21006357are you going to live blog your cupping?
>>21006364>and haven't looked back.why, do you have a problem with your neck?
>>21006368No, I just refuse to look back for anyone or anything.
>>21006365Maybe if I can't get some friends together to do it.
>>21006364>Mazzer Philos What makes you recommend it?I'm genuinely a bit out of my depth with grinders, the way people talk about them it seems like things I'd consider small can make a huge difference. I value a dark, chocolatey and earthy brew and try to cut back on the bitterness and sourness as much as I can. I want to think a better grinder will help with that but the research I been doing has led me down a lot of rabbit holes but very little idea where I want to go. All I know is I really hate sour notes and would prefer bitter to sour
>>21005442What meaning is this image supposed to convey?
>>21006390Oh I'm not recommending it specifically, it's simply what I ended up going with for multiple reasons. A DF54 with modded ditting burrs might be more in line with your price/performance ratio desire. Just throwing my hat into the ring, and saying I was in your position and ended up on the Philos with the I189d burr set.
>>21006403Why the 54 and not the 65 or 83?The Timemore is more expensive than all of them, is the Timemore just a rip-off that you can get the same quality for less than half the price?
Bought a new kingrinder K4 and this is how the burr look out of the box at 0, however they’re not fully touching and closed, the handle spins.I tried gently closing 10-15 clicks (there’s a sheet inside the box saying to avoid spinning the handle past 0 ~ -15 to avoid damages) but even at that point the burrs aren’t fully locked, yet they’re starting to touch.Is the grinder set to 0 outside the box or should I reach the burr lock as in the handle won’t spin at all?
>>21006412Timemore is mid to highend chinkshit. Df54/64 is true chinkshit (in a good way).
>>21006392The original image is a kid holding his hands up and looking at the camera in a mixture in fear and disgust and is used as a sort of "stay the fuck away from me" reaction image.In this version, the face of James Hoffman, a Internet personality known for their opinions on coffee and coffee related topics is superimposed onto the face of the kid and a V60 is shopped into the kids hand. Hoffman's face was screenshotted in a situation vaguely similar to the original kid, with some disgust in the eyes, though less fear.As such the new meme has the same meaning as the original reaction meme of the kid, but more specific to coffee related topic. The addition of a V60 might indicate that the poster wants to imply that any other brewing method than his method of choice should stay away from him.I wish this post was written by AI, but it's actually just me on the shitter.
>>21006424Try emailing them. Their english isn't perfect, but they're quick to respond.
>>21006373you always use mirrors?
>>21006467Nah, phone camera.
>>21006424queengrinder sistas in shambles

>>21005442Enjoy your time there anon.
>>21004761Finally was able to get to my local roaster this morning. I wanted another bag of Ethiopian but they were out so I’m going to try out these Costa Rica beans.
>>21006587>so I’m going to try out these Costa Rica beans.so, was it coffee or was it goffee?
>>21006459if i remember correctly, in the original the kid is holding a cross instead of a v60
>>21006610It was ok, a bit generic in latte form. The Ethiopian had some real interesting tasting notes that clearly separated it from other beans I’ve had. These Costa Rican beans don’t have any distinct flavors coming through the milk. I’ll try them as an espresso this afternoon and see what they’re like.
Would you buy the overpriced influencer coffee?
>>21006651If you know who any “influencers” even are, you should feel bad and make life changed.
>>21006663Honestly, I have no horse in that specific race, since I don't really watch Vtubers, I just saw that this was a thing apparently and wanted to shitpost.As a general rule though, influencer products are almost exclusively shit. I do have 2 "influencer" kitchen things, a binging with babish knife that I was gifted by a well meaning female friend who watched him and knew I liked to cook, and a carbon steel wok by a lesser known cooking youtuber I bought myself. The babish knife was actually not as bad as I had expected, it's a serviceable knife with generic cheap steel. Overpriced for what it is, but that's to be expected from influencer stuff. The carbon steel wok is the same you can buy on aliexpress, with a wooden lid included. It's pretty decent quality actually, and it wasn't as wildly overpriced. Like 10$ more than the aliexpress version, but with local shipping instead of the overseas shipping, so I don't really regret that purchase. I am curious though because overpriced vtuber/anime girl coffee seems like exactly the kind of autistic shit some anon would spend their money on for the meme.
>>21006424Hmm I tried grinding at these click past the 0 point outside the box, the grain is way way coarser than what it should be according to the suggested settings from the manufacturer.The last one “25 clicks” should be Turkish coffee WTF.
>>21006680This might legitimately be the most inconsistent grind size I have seen this year. I have seen blade grinders do a better job, what the fuck is happening there.
>Hmm, today I will try E&B's Competition Moka Filter>clueless.jpg>Huge amounts of fines in the cupwaddafug
>>21006692what?
>>21006686Idk, I just removed the grinder from the box, tightened past the zero mark to try and see if the burrs locked (they didn’t) without forcing anything and then straight went to 75 clicks and made coffee.Don’t know what to say, I’m under the impression that as I said the 0 point outside the box isn’t the real 0 point but it’s a full rotation so 60 clicks, therefore the 75 grind size in the picture could be 135 clicks from real 0 point, in the medium coarse range.
>>21006702just start the return process asap. how much was that lemon and where did you buy it?
>>21006702>tightened past the zero mark to try and see if the burrs locked (they didn’t)Thats your zero. 60 clicks past that would be 1 rotation. It's all relative. Your burrs don't lock so dipshits won't break their grinder by running at lock with a drill.
>>21006751>its bad on purpose so dipshits wont break itcope
>>21006738Amazon, I already sent back one because it came dented (the courier damaged the package because apparently now Amazon to be “green” ships the products in their own boxes without protection and shit happens) but I played with it a bit without grinding coffee and it was the same, the burrs weren’t fully closed out of the box.
>>21006757The original kinu m47s had the same exact "issue". Burrs physically locked at 0.0.0, homebarista dipshit hooked his to a drill, chewed the burrs up then complained, future revisions did not physically lock at zero. That printed on 0 is just a reference point, every kingrinder's ACTUAL 0 will vary but the stepsize will be constant. If actual zero is -10 clicks, the 1 will be -10 clicks etc etc.
>>21006751Yeah anon but no absolute way that the grind size at 60 clicks should look anything like this >>21006680, because all of these are coarse, the 25 one could be moka pot size, not Turkish coffee as per the instruction manual.
>>21006766We have no idea how many steps that is if he's not starting at actual zero.
>>21006762i would also send this dogshit one back
>>21006772This is how the burr look at 0 out of the box, there’s light visible through the inside of the grinder, so they’re not closed. Sorry for the shit picture but I can’t take a better one with my cellphone, this is like -10 past the 0 point out of the box. The burrs don’t touch as you can see in the picture I quoted but when rotating the burr from under with my fingers I can feel some minor scraping.I can try going coarser but I fear ruining the burrs so I may as well write to kingrinder support and ask them.
>>21006784https://youtu.be/6b5fT_3jCgc
>>21006751>It's all relative.imagine a manufacturer answering this when I ask if the burrs are aligned>>21006651Now that onyx sells to europe, yeah
>>21006779>moka pot and v60 is the samelollmao
>>21006797https://www.kingrinder.com/blog/gs-exterior>***The corresponding number is zero and the number on the adjustment nut may not be the same as the number of clicks from the grind setting.***
>>21006779It’s a K6 actually I wrote K4 by mistake, sorry. Phone posting etc..
>>21006784can't see shit sonny
>>21006818
>>21006680QUEENgrinder sistas what is our response?
>>21006832Chalk it up to italian incompetence.
>>21006696I'm confused too. The holes are much smaller than the stock filter.
>>21006847shitgrinder is chinkshit idiot
>>21006853And yet the rest of the world seems to be able to use them without issue. Should have bought a mavo phantox pro instead.
>>21006860>burrs don't lock so dipshits won't break their grinder by running at lock with a drill>the rest of the world seems to be able to use them without issuechoose one
>>21006879I use my K6 with a drill every day for espresso grinding and it works fine.
>>21006899He doesn't understand the difference between chirp and the burrs locking together. Sad, but not unexpected.
>>21006899So anon, what do you think then about the grind sizes he posted? Is the grinder defective or his 0 point is actually 60 clicks out of the box?
>>21006424Should've bought a Comandante, Deutsche Wertarbeit is worth the extra money. No issues at all with mine and good customer support if something ever breaks.
Today is a Sumatra Mandelhing. It's no Jamaican Blue Mountain but its a light, bright cup. I've settled it in my heart that i neednt find a replacement for JBM, just a reliable number two and Mandelhing gets the job done. Excited to try that fever dream Panama Gesha again when it fully degasses in a week, but i cant really rank Gesha since its like comparing normal coffee's boldness acitity and body to a unicorn fart of flavor. A secretary I know is into tea, maybe i'll make them a cup
>>21006944Low acidity is a meme
>habitual coffee/espresso drinker>suddenly unsure if I actually like it that much or if I do it because I need to justify my grinder and espresso machineI guess I will be taking a few days off soon. Gotta finish my beans first though or they'll go to waste.
>>21007050To each their own. I'm seeing the value of acidity when it serves the coffee like how the delicate citrus acidity serves Gesha, but as a rule acidity seems to be more of a distraction than a boon to the coffee
>>21007052I mean try high quality pour overs for a bit, see if you like them better
>>21007067Life is far too short to be drinking boring coffee.
>>21006930I think it’s well known that the manufacturer recommended settings for the K6 are basically worthless. If I were him I ignore those recommendations and would keep turning my settings finer and finer until I either get the grind size I want. If his burrs are locking before his grind size is right then there is something very wrong with his grinder. These are my grounds at 31 clicks from 0 but my burrs don’t actually bind until I reach -5. That means my grind setting for different beans falls typically between 35-38 clicks from true 0.
>>21006651unfortunately
>>21007085You say boring, I say robust and comforting. I just can't make a Gesha or Yirgacheffe my daily cuppa, it'd be like having Rutti Tutti Fresh and Frutty pancakes every day - some of the value of a pronounced flavor profile is the uniqueness and itd lose its novelty.
>>21007086You see the small numbers under 30? It means which full rotation number you’re on.Pic related is mine at 0 clicks, outside the box.The coffee I ground at 45 clicks were on the 1st small number.It doesn’t make sense but the fuck do I know, god loves to fuck with me.
Hypothetically lets say i got memed on and decided to buy JBM and lets say i have no idea what im doing and bought green unroasted beans because they were cheaper - how do i roast coffee beans in a pan?
>>21007119You didn't get memed on and you're going to be fine. Roasting coffee beans is like making popcorn. Wait until the beans "crack" and then remove them from heat for a light roast, wait for a second crack for medium and heavier roasts. Degassing is three days, then you should be set. There's youtube videos for specifics you can find but this shit is not rocket science
>>21007119based gourmet has you coveredhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoqdDpw0PlY
>>21007114So my grind setting is about 30 clicks finer than yours. Turn that fucker left and try bring a gram or two at my setting and show us how it comes out.
>>21007134Anon I did it at 45 clicks, it looks like this (the coffee in the filter at the bottom)
>>21007145The picture is upside down, the coffee in the v60 filter is ground at 45 clicks and the coffee here >>21006680 it’s ground at 25 clicks were it says “25”
>>21007145Please just turn your grinder finer until it can’t turn any more and then go backwards 35 clicks and show us a gram of ground coffee please.
>>21007152Don't worry he's asking reddit for help.
>>21007159You realize you just outed yourself at the same time right? Not sure that’s quite the dunk you thought it was.
>>21007167Ho does that every time, he’s obsessed with me and stalks me on Reddit each time I make a throwaway account.>>21007152Ok will do
>>21007167He makes accounts there when people here stop helping his italian retardation. Only time I'll check. If you can immediately sniff out two anonymous accounts as the same person, it should tell you something. The internet may be faceless but if you're a loud enough faggot you're going to get pegged.
>>21007195I think you need a new hobby if you’re spending your time tracking people down online. I recommend trying some pussy. You won’t care what other people do anymore because you’ll be focused on getting more pussy.
>>21007195my guy get that mental illness checked. seriously.
it's easy to stalk people who have specific questions about specific hobbies. that doesn't mean you should.
>>21007170So…well…
>>21007200It takes a cursury glance to spot one italian faggot on the internet. He'll delete that account soon and start asking about the plastic lever in the switch. He'll get made fun of since its constantly pointed out here, then go cry on another account.>>21007220Thousands on thousands of kingrinders were sold this week around the world for black friday sales. Owning a k6 isn't really that specific at this point.
>>21007230It was set at 60 clicks from factoryI really hate my fucking self so much anons, sorry bothering you with my anxiety.
>>21007242Their directions are not all that clear and it took me a minute to figure out where my K6 needed to be to produce espresso grounds. Don’t feel too bad.
>>21007242Italian incompetence after all? Noone could have possibly seen it coming.>>21007259Theres one dial in front of him and he's too dumb to turn it. While 4chan and reddit are telling him for hours>Turn the dial you're not at 0.
>>21007271>Theres one dial in front of him and he's too dumb to turn it. While 4chan and reddit are telling him for hoursIt’s not an intuitive interface. Chill.
>>21007259I’m angry because I did the same procedure with my JX Pro other times and being basically the same design I should have known how locked burrs looked like…Btw I went down to +5 clicks from 0, the actual one, and the handle spinned although there was some friction. I stopped there to avoid messing up the grinder knowing my luck, I don’t need to find the 0 point now that I know where the grind size is at.Thank you for your help anon and @ the troll, no, I won’t delete the Reddit thread because there could be other people that could use the info, it doesn’t matter how stupid the issue can be.Changing topic, I tried my first Neroscuro with the K6 and despite the blatantly wrong grind size it tasted good and I could feel the improvement over the JX Pro.
>>21007281Can you really call it trolling when I do nothing but help you? BTW the minmax janson is fantastic. I should probably just start buying my greens from him from now on. 115g dosed out into tubes for freezing and I'll enjoy the rest here in a few weeks.
>>21007309Dumb question, but while clearly knowledgeable on the subject, have you ever actually had JBM? I've half a mind to send you some if you haven't.
>>21006500What is this from
>>21007321A few times. Even roasted some myself back when greencoffeecoop was running. Its just not what I value in coffee. The only "island" coffee I've really enjoyed is a bali natural from Royal, but its closer to an ethiopian landrace in flavor.https://royalcoffee.com/product/3427097000036750060/
should I buy a kingrinder k6?I have an encore and it's kinda muddy and takes ages to draw down
>>21007130>second crack for mediumNah, man. Second crack is firmly dark-roast territory, some may even call it burnt. However, I agree with your overall sentiment. Roasting coffee is nowhere near as difficult as most people make it out to be.
>>21007579Probably.
>>21007808wrong
you know what, i think its moka time.
>>21008196Actually sir, I believe the subject line says "Coffee Time General".
>>21008211g-gomen nasai...
My buddy bought me a 6mo subscription to Moongoat coffee for my birthday. Is anyone familiar with them? What should I expect?
>>21008235>What should I expect?coffeeand, perhaps if you are lucky, some goffee.
>>21007331read the thread next time>>21005442i replaced the motor for my popper today, went well and she purrs like a fucking cougar from hell nowfirst roast with an Ethiopian yirgacheffe went fantastic, cant wait to try itdont forget to enjoy life, lads
>>21008265>i replaced the motor for my popper todayare you going to stick with the popper forever, or have you thought about getting a bigger roaster?(not an attack, just wondering)
somebody linked this a few months ago, $80 home roaster: https://www.sweetmarias.com/popper.htmlSounds too good to be true though right?
>>21008350ask this guy>>21008265also its only $80 if you in america.also i dont think that price includes shipping.
ok for real, does anyone use the slow brew meme setting or is it just a meme that over extracts coffee?I NEED to brew max potsI do NOT want overflowI AM using soft water
>>21008411JUST BUY THE FUCKING MOCCAMASSA AND BE DONE WITH ITfucks sake.
you WILL buy the $200 pourover machineyou WILL NOT buy the $15 v60and you WILL be happy
>>21008496Honestly, pick either one, just shut the fuck about it.
got one of those larger 23g portafilter baskets and it's been pretty nice so far. thanks to it i've been able to wing it more consistently without having to weigh the beans and make espresso/milk based drinks less of a drag
>>21008580Why wouldn’t you weigh your beans? That makes no sense.
>buy Ethiopia heirloom Natural >it smells kinda rancid>it tastes kinda rancidwell i have almost finished the bag so whatever.but still. disappointing.
>>21008350>too good to be trueIt's just a modified popcorn popper. The price isn't ridiculously cheap for what it is.
>>21008706Go with a $29 poppo if you dont want any control/want to mod it in yourself.https://www.sweetmarias.com/poppo-air-popcorn-kit.html
>>21008670>finished a bag of something that smells and tastes rancidBut why?
>>21008916>smells and tastes rancidonly kinda.and i didnt smell the beans when i opened the bag.and it didnt taste rancid until yesterday when i changed my grind to be a bit finerand then i went back and smelled the beans and they smelled a little rancid.but it was roasted less than 2 weeks agoso i assume the green beans had just started to go rancid when the roaster roasted them
>>21007856should I get it from aliexpress for $25 less with the curved handle, or amazon for $100 with better customer service if it comes fucked up
>>21008983I'd just pay the $25 and skip the holiday china shipping rush. I just ordered some batteries and they gave a feb delivery estimate lel.
Bought the D54 and simply pre ordered the headlight with a small deposit. Now to wait, which will probably be a while because of black Friday and Christmas
Is coffee a fruit?
>>21009175the fruit part is.the seed part is a seedwhich is called a bean for some reason.
>Order a coffee machine>It's supposed to arrive in 12 hours>Last tracking was 3 days ago, 2 countries overI'm expecting it not to arrive desu>the day after I'll be gone and can't accept the deliveryGoddamnit, wish me luck anons. Make it so it either arrives tomorrow (best case) or in 3 days or later, but not in 2 days.
>>21008983For what it's worth, I'm an aliexpress shill and have bought from them for multiple years now. The amount of times that stuff didn't arrive or arrived broken/advertised wrongly was very low and each time aliexpress solved the dispute in my favor within a day. Also regarding the 11.11 rush, it might lead to delays, but look where it ships from. They have warehouses now that mean stuff arrives within 5-7 days sometimes and 11.11 might at most add 1 day for them to start shipping your stuff. The only real reason to buy from amazon is if you want to do a return without there being something wrong with the item. In that case amazon is much nicer than aliexpress.
>>21009223>only reasonOr if it's cheaper. I do like aliexpress though. I've only ever bought portafilter's, baskets and puck screens from them. Is there really that much difference between a decent aliexpress one and a $100+ normcore?
>>21008983>should I get it from aliexpressDepends on which store. I got mine from "Jaffee Store" last year and it arrived reasonably quick and surrounded by a good amount of bubble wrap. Sort by number of orders. >>21008983>or amazonIt's nice if you want something quicker or are anticipating some kind of quality issues with the product. I got my P2 through Amazon. It just came in a box without any extra shipping protection, which I think is a big downside. But really, you should buy from whoever is selling with the old bent handle. All the K6's I've seen on Amazon lately have been with the straight handle and spherical knob. Major ergonomic downgrade. The straight handle and spherical knob are actually uncomfortable to use. I think they changed it for copyright reasons similar to 1zpresso, or maybe they just cheaped out.
>>21009285I looked for hours trying to find a good single spouted pf on ali. Figured I could just buy a cheap head and screw it onto the stock flair or decent handles. Gave up. It was worth $100 to overnight the bottomless+spouted "3 in 1" from normcore. Granted I had a very specific use for it(low clearance+high flow billet basket+espresso rain+paragon ball).
My parents have a Rocket and I've noticed that sometimes this will drip occasionally even when an espresso hasn't been madeAnyone know anything about it?
>>21004761Hello My frens,For strike of luck I have got a hold of a small coffee farm in south america.The coffee has already win international prizes but it is very small.Maybe produces 50 tons of coffee.It tastes really good and it is an small farm where the whole family really care about it. Trade fair, organics and nice people.Please if anyone can help me giving some pointers:1. Where I can roast this quantity of coffee here in US?2. Once roasted is there a good packing/distributor?3. Any ideas for marketing?
>>21009570> That's the exit for the expansion valve. It allows water to escape the brew boiler during the initial heating of the boiler, otherwise the copper tubing could burst as the water expanded in a closed system. It should stop dripping once the brew boiler reaches operating temperature. If it doesn't, the expansion valve is sticking, typically due to scale buildupIf it's happening while not being used, probably scale buildup or something causing it to stay open and leak.
>>21009574>>21009570By the way, I know nothing about espresso machines or Rocket machines in particular, I just googled your problem and that was literally the first forum result for it.
>>21009574I apologiseThank you for doing my google search for me because I'm too retarded to do it myself
>>21009577It's okay, I work in IT, my job is googling.
>>21009571just sell it to an exporter/importer
>>21009597He will pay less, mix my coffee with shit coffee.I want to deliver good, family cared coffee to my loved frens. I care about it.
>>21009581>my job is googling...yet you just did it for free?
>>21009620You're welcome
>>21009601trying to manage your entire supply chain yourself will failif your coffee scores high enough then you can sell it to specialty importers for better prices. they have entire distribution networks, import licenses, warehouses, transportation, etc already setup and operational. they will connect you with green buyers and roasters and be much more capable of selling coffee than you on your own. even then, not all your coffee will score 80+ and it'd be a waste not to sell it. that coffee can go to any importer/green buyer that's willing to buy it for cheap and do god-knows-what-with-it but you'll make money so who cares. those buyers won't list your name/farm on the final product either. trying to build out a roastery and sell an entire farm's worth of coffee yourself in a country you're not from or live in from what it sounds like is a bad plan. focusing on producing high quality coffee and building relationships with a specialty importer will be your best bet. if your coffee is excellent, then roasters will be happy to buy it at a premium then roast and sell it with your name/farm on the bag.
>>21009643That is a fair point.The question is which are the fair importers?Do you have a list of good/fair ones? or should I try to shoot for the highest bidder?Where I can find a list of them?Thank you for your excellent input.
>>21009651https://nationalzoo.si.edu/migratory-birds/certified-coffee-importerswas compiling a list when i came across this one and it's very solid. just make sure you look up their north american contact info.as for your farm, i'm curious about that. how many hectares do you have and what varieties are there
Just ordered thisWhat will I think of it?
>>21009716Coffee.
>>21009777Thank you for the wisdom, anon
>>21009571>3. Any ideas for marketing?make gachi-muchi branded coffee.
>>21009805sorry, i didnt read the fine print.that's anthrax.
Last cup of JBM;_;
>>21010149that's a nice goffee table anon.
>>21004761Reminder that the lighter a roast is, the more its flavor gravitates towards peat and muh caffeine levels are an excuse to push peaty taste on the massesImitating peated scotch is not a sign of quality, it's a sign of desperate appeals to the "masculine" market
>>21010179>the more its flavor gravitates towards peatmaybe if you drink shit coffee.
>>21009218The tracking updated, it's supposed to arrive tomorrow.Exactly during the time I am gone.Fuck this fucking shit if they deliver it to some retarded parcel center outside of town I'm gonna riot.
>>21010233They don't have a way to change the delivery?I can usually just go to the online tracking and tell it to delay delivery, or hold it at the local hub facility.
>>21010244I'm confused by that too, but I don't see anything like that on their website.I have agreements with the usual delivery services to just leave my stuff in front of my door if I'm not home (there's not much crime where I live and nothing was ever stolen), but because this is a heavier item and it seems to come from a warehouse 1.5 countries over, they use GLS and I don't see any such option on their website, nor any option to delay the delivery (which I would much prefer, it is quite a lot of money after all).
>>21010244>>21010260It is me, pagliacci the fool.Turns out they did have an option to tell them to put it in the stairway, for some reason it's just not accessible from the tracking page and you have to search for it separately.Anyways, thanks anon for making me double check. Now let's hope they understand what I mean and actually do it.
>>21010149Jamaican me crazy!
>>21009716
Tried the Hodeidah San Salvador.It’s not roasted for filter, but it’s on the lighter side of the medium roast, I brewed it with the coffee chronicler’s recipe (45 seconds bloom and 1 minute and 15 seconds infusion) 1:16 ratio.Tons of sweetness and super light acidity, it’s still too watery for my tastes so I’ll lower the ratio for the next coffees.It’s pleasant but the neroscuro coffee roasted specifically for filter is way more complex.
>>21010412that handle on the glass looks too big to ignore and too small to actually use.do you find this to be true?
>>21010412This is the K6 at 75 (real) clicks.Does this look ok? It looks less muddy than comparable size from the JX Pro, but I’m no expert.
>>21010414Kind of.I need to shop for a glass for this style of coffee, 200 to 240 ml and also a server but I’ll probably just buy the Hario carafe.
>>21010415>he didnt pre wet the filter>he didnt swirlummmm anon?
>>21010419I did both of these things anon.This is like my 15th coffee with the switch, I’m still learning and experimenting.Turns out that the coffee is good but it’s still too weak and light because I’m used to a life of moka and espresso, so I’m always lowering the ratio as low as 1:13.The first sip is like dirty water and then there’s always tons of sweetness and chocolate, I only reached some of the tasting notes with the neroscuro where I could clearly feel the tropical fruits and pineapple. It was a nice experience and the switch is cool, but the fact is I don’t have a reference point for filter coffee so I need to find a specialty coffee shop and buy a cup of v60 made by a professional to taste how it’s done.
>>21010428mmmm idklooks dry to me.have you tried doing water first then coffee?i do that with my clever and it makes better coffee :)
>>21010441Never tried but I will do.Right now I’m interested more in knowing if the K6 produces less fines than the JX Pro as it should, of course.The grind size is uniform, it’s a nice grinder but I should test 1 vs 1 both of them with the same coffee to see the differences.
>>21010428>I’m used to a life of moka and espresso>willingly downgrades to pouroverYou must really hate yourself
>>21009677>https://nationalzoo.si.edu/migratory-birds/certified-coffee-importersJust got a hold of it. Send you email once it is done I can send you samples
>>21010477Moka pot and espresso hurt my stomach and I “downgraded” to pour over because it was 9 months I stopped drinking coffee and since I don’t want to waste all the things I learnt in years of practice, this is the lesser evil.At some point I will start drinking moka and espresso again, in moderation, but since then filter goff alternated with green tea is my compromise.
>>21010477Don't listen to this anon. She is pushing your buttons.
>>21010486>green teaIf you enjoy coffee, try black tea.
>>21010486I bet you drink shitty green tea as well.
>>21010511I buy the cheapest (by the pound) matcha on amazon in bulk. That way I can guarantee by the time I'm done with half of it, the rest has gotten a pale and anemic color and lost most aroma from getting stale.Because it's so low quality, it's very bitter, so I add it to frothed milk and add honey for sweetness. And there's nothing you can do to stop me.
>>21010519Grim.
>>21010532Something something we are not punished for our sins but by them. Rest assured that while there is no deity or karmic system punishing me for the grotesque blasphemy I engage in, the quality of my drink is punishment enough.
>>21010511I never drank tea outside the supermarket black fermented tea and, of course, I never liked it.I’m currently drinking pic related and waiting to open another green tea my brother brought me from Japan.>>21010519This anon is not me
>>21010589>This anon is not meAt least play into the meme a little anon. We are the same person.Memes aside, there's some great teas out there, check the tea thread out. Also if you only ever drank supermarket teas before there's a good chance those were perfumed/had aromatics added (earl grey is the usual one), which I also tend to dislike. But there's some great teas out there, from the usual white, green, black to fruity teas or stuff like roibos. I'm sure you will find something tasty.
niggas love to false flag in the coffee thread
>>21010428>Turns out that the coffee is good but it’s still too weak and light because I’m used to a life of moka and espresso, so I’m always lowering the ratio as low as 1:13.perhaps you should accept the fact you dont like pour overs/immersion brewersyou are making it worse by lowering the ratio of coffee:water
>>21010589Again, grim. I had to make a few cups of a $1/g wild green from this years harvest after the Panama gesha for comparison. Both were sublime. Wish I had more of that in the freezer but I snagged a few hundred grams of cheaper offerings instead.>>21010607He's an addict that can't come to terms with his ailing, failing body.
>>21010621I don’t want to go down the tea rabbit hole too, let me enjoy low grade tea so I won’t spend hundreds of euros in equipment and tea. The kukicha tastes like vanilla and I like it.>>21010607How can I say that I dislike it if I never had a proper one? Here in Italy filter coffee is ultra rare and nobody does that for the usual reasons about our coffee culture, so I don’t have a reference point to say if I like it and if I’m doing it wrong or no.All I know is that every coffee has many tasting notes and my filter coffee tastes almost the same: thin body followed by chocolate and dried figs, prunes, dark fruit with or without some acidity (not astringent).It’s not bad but it’s not what I’m in for.This time I have the right coffee, third wave bullshit and all the bells and whistles, very light roast.
>>21010638You'll be ordering from thebarn soon enough.
>>21010638>This time I have the right coffee, third wave bullshit and all the bells and whistles, very light roast.You wont get a good filter with 1:13 on a light roast, you won't extract a thingYou have a k6 which is a fine grinder, and did the switch 15 times, if you are still trying to fix your brew: or you can confidently say you dislike filter, or you dont have a clue of what you are doing (and looking by the bed, it was fine, the switch is really forgiving)Just give up, you dont like pour overs, its fine, its all taste, I hate the moka pot
>>21009716>natural anaerobic ethiopiana good time, even if they fucked up the roast
>>21010149I've yet to try JBM. I've tried two Konas, one of which I really loved and one of which tasted like watered down piss(Dishonorable Mention to Blue Horse Coffee), both claimed to be 100 percent authentic Konas no blends so I don't know what went wrong with Blue Horse Coffee just a very weak cup.
>>21010719I will have my idea once I will be able to produce cups with all or most of the tasting notes, because if every coffee tastes the same then I’m doing something wrong.Btw I’m brewing 15 grams with 220 mlof water, I tried different recipes and so far I think that the best one is the 4 minute immersion + a little agitation before opening the switch.I will start using bottled water too.I bought the K6 specifically because it has more clarity and separation of flavours since it produces less fines than my JX Pro, I don’t know how much difference there is between the same coffee made with both grinders (I can always try comparing them ofc).I’ll keep trying and when I have the opportunity I’ll taste a v60 made by a professional.I’m not bothered by the flavour, it’s just the lack of body that disturbs me since the times I used the aeropress (with espresso roast though), if I can improve the watery sip I’ll be happy because as I said, to this point my kukicha tea has more body and overall balance. There must be something I’m doing wrong
Just realised I'm gonna run out of beans 4 days before my new beans arrive. Grim.
>>21010931Nothing wrong with taking a break once in a while, Anon.
Are there any beans which taste like instant coffee? I simply like the taste of instant better I got given a coffee machine
>>21011008Just keep using instant coffee and sell the machine, or keep it as kitchen decor.

>>21004761KINO THREAD OP FUCKS
I am going to attempt to make croissants to have with my morning coffee
So yesterday I got pic-related, and I have to say; It's a game changer for V-shaped brewers. I used it with my plastic v60 and made decaf as soon as it arrived, I went very fine (5 on my Fellow Ode with MP SSP burs), with a Sibarist filter at 93c. 20g coffee to 340ml water 1:17, bloom for 60 seconds with 40ml water, then a single circular gentle but fast pour. The brew took 3:30-ish It was very clean and clear, somewhat sweet with a little acidic and bright. But the main takeaway is that the cup was CLEAN. So the main difference I noticed after my second brew (an hour ago) is that the cone holds the bed pretty well for even extraction, it did make the water flow faster but not by much. However, the flow was insanely smooth and consistent and the filter never choked. Mind you I used a TH3 filter, ground coffee at 6 on the Ode and it still flowed smoothly. The material is thin, and the machining is simple and somewhat rough if I'm being honest. It still looks pretty when used but not as fancy as the images they have on their site. Tip: make sure your filter sits flush with the cone when you wet it before starting your brew.
coffee
>>21011663Oh sick, didn't know they had a cone booster now. I've been using their fast flat filters for a few weeks now. Pricey but they're just straight up better than wave filters of any brand I've used.
>>21010931I keep a container of instant coffee ready just for such occasions. It tastes way better than the stale supermarket beans and it's also good for quick second cups when I'm feeling lazy. Don't buy expensive $2/cup instant coffee, that's pure nonsense and will never come close to pour over quality. Instead stick with something reasonable that will last a while like UCC or Mount Hagen.

>>21012749>€449
what is the 20% effort 80% effect method of coffee making? french press?
>>21013075I've most often heard Aeropress described that way.
>>21013084ok i thought they were the same thing so what else do i need? a grinder, a kettle and beans or is there anything else? any recommendations btw?
>>21013091Scales (0.1 g accuracy) would be recommended. I'm a neophyte myself, so I refrain from offering bean recommendations.
>>21013097i dont know what's the point but i can get one on aliexpress for like $5i was talking about gear mostly, as cheap as possible, like <$60 ideally for everything i guess the kettle should have a thermometer on it and that goose neck thing right?
>>21013109Dosing by mass is far more consistent than volumetric dosing (using a scoop or similar) because coffee varies in density by roast level and ground coffee can be packed tightly or loosely, changing the actual amount of coffee in each scoop. As you say, you can get scales on the cheap, so it's worth it.There doesn't seem to be a particular need for a fancy kettle for the Aeropress, so if you have a typical electric kettle, you should be set on that front. If you don't have a kettle already, yeah, go ahead and get a reasonably priced pouring kettle. It's not necessary for the Aeropress, but may as well be ready to try filter coffee if you decide to broaden your horizons.
>>21013109Here's the downlow on gooseneck's either buy an expensive one or just boil in a regular jug and transfer it to a hario air drip.
