Thoughts on ceramic UFO?
>>21074328Jew Year Jew MeGot a coffee thermo for my birthday
>>21074397Now you can enjoy your rancid dark roast all day long :D
>>21074404Rancid *light roast, thank you very much.
>>21074397how do you make coffee on the shabbatdo you pregrind? or can you use manual grinders.wait how do you boil water?or is that what the thermos is formake lots of coffee before hand, put it in a thermos and hope it stays hot enough.you could probably sous-vide coffee.like make it and then put it in jars and then put those jars into the sous-vide to maintain the perfect drinking temp over the shabbat, like a reverse esky.
>>21074328First cup of the year will be a Rodriquez Pink Bourbon.
Thoughts on Jacobs compared to other commercial brands?
>>21074420>First cup of the year will be Rodriquez
>>21074328i have a zp6 on the way and my hario switch came in the mail today...pic rel will be my roast of choice on this new journey into pour over. i had no idea how much my baratza encore held me back so im glad to finally upgrade...i will also be making my own water, figured i ought to commit to the bit atp
I really like Rao’s coffee and also grounds and hounds. I’m not a huge fan of onyx I don’t know why - maybe I’m not trying the right kind?
>>21074443>sprite>ice cream truck>melonthis is a joke right?
>>21074498A joke?THIS IS COFFEE!
>>21074498roasters realized tasting notes are all bullshit so they just fucking put whatever on there now.
>>21074498>this is a joke right?just say you use a $40 grinder and move on
>>21074525>I'm getting that lemon.. sprite flavour, and there's the melon notes, and yes, I'm getting diesel, oil, steel and rubber, that's the classic ice cream truck taste I've been searching for.
does the size of the BEANZ indicate anything at all? i can't help but be disappointed when i open the bag and see lil round pipsqueek BEANZ. and i think it's affecting my enjoyment of the goffee itself. it's probably all in my head, but still i have to ask. are bigger BEANZ better?
>>21074666>does the size of the BEANZ indicate anything at all?yes>are bigger BEANZ better?noits just different variety of coffee plant
>>21074355If you're good with computers you could probably hack a smart kettle. Anything with a screen and bluetooth or wifi connectivity.
>>21074668thank you, good to know it's not something like smaller BEANZ being harvested earlier or some such
>>21074666Bigger benis are better.
>>21074404>>21074410Actual anon here, i don't actually know how roasted the beans are.
Got my first hand grinder for christmas (a kingrinder p2) and I only managed to get a decent espresso shot today, using the local roaster beanz. Turns out I was tamping too hard for my shit machine which has a pressurized portafilter. This was probably not an issue for the preground I was using before because it was coarser? No idea honestly
>>21074965Pre-ground has already lost all of the CO2 from roasting. Your fresh ground beans are much gassier, at any grind size. 'Crema' is just CO2 and coffee fines. Pressurised baskets make fake crema by aerating the coffee as it pisses through a single hole. Buy a real basket next.
>>21074980It's not a pressurized basket, the basket is normal, the pressurization mechanism is in the portafilter itself, it's a gimmick on cheaper gaggias. Marginally better than pressurized baskets but still a gimmick. I should get a new portafilter altogether but it's 50€ and I'm a poorfag. Maybe in a couple months
henlo i am dringing goffee in 2025
>>21074987So its something like this?https://espressocare.com/products/saeco-pressurized-portafilter-2018Looks to me like it aerates the coffee by pissing it through a single hole, after the spring valve valve compresses a bit, into a splitter.
>>21075003Already had my first cuppa at midnight
My first cup of the new year was a pink bourbon [spoiler]with sugar
>>21075032you dirty dog
>>21074355Beans: JBMKettle: KelvinGrinder: $40Yep, it’s coffee time
>>21075071All that money for a grinder, and yet you still can't purchase taste
>>21075074He'll have to make do with an IOU
Good year bros.I’m almost done with the Pacamara, I had to reduce the dose to 10 grams so the bag is lasting forever.The coffee changed smell and flavour a bit during the month, I’ve been brewing in full immersion 4 minutes with boiling water 1:16 ratio and playing with grind size.Today’s cup was ground at 70 clicks on the K6, it was very sweet, the first sip is always super sweet, but the cocoa nibs acidity cannot be removed from this coffee. Aftertaste and smell is always tropical fruit, it’s pleasant but if only had some fucking body to connect both ends it would be a nice experience.I can’t honestly feel changes even by grinding with big steps in difference but I can feel them by brewing with different methods like hybrid or full V60.I have 2 more traditional nero scuro light roasts in the freezer and the Brazilian chokky one from the German roaster, I’ll probably go with this one for the next month because I want a more traditional taste. Hopefully.
Made a pour over with the last of my EthiopiansNow I’m gonna try making espresso with anaerobics. Never done anaerobic espresso before so I expect it to be kinda mid
just fell for this fuckin shitbasically this is a little chocolate with a shot of espresso insideyeah it's really not good
>>21075256I mean you bought a meme coffee, you should have expecteded a meme experience
>>21074328having the audacity to showcase this blasphemous routine normalfags are hilarious >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyKXKDADM7c
>>21075265grimactual dunning kruger
>>21075261ye i didn't really know it was a viral meme coffee until after the facti gambled and i lost
>>21075265damn he made preparing pourover look more lazy and sovlless than popping a pod in a nespresso machineand he looks like a douchebag slob
>>21075265This roaster has to be a dropshipper, otherwise it's simply too baffling.
>>21075328it looks to be an influencer who invested in a local roaster and is taking credit for being a roaster when the business already existed.hes a Jamie Oliver type chef influencer type.
>>21075335>influencer who invested in a local roaster and is taking credit for being a roasterThe douchebag influencer(ex bon appetite guy) and the douchebag owner of Anchored Coffee(guy making shitty coffee with an encore and unrinsed brown papers) are two different douchebags.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHIUYXk27cs
I make my coffee with a french press and the Hoffman technique isn't making a notable difference in my coffee's taste.
>>21075400yeh but is it less silty?
>always list coffee as an interest of mine>whenever I meet a girl who claims to be into coffee she starts talking about k-cupsHow do you guys deal with this? It's so frustrating.
>>21075414If anything it's sillier
>>21075400no notable difference compared to what?anyway the biggest (positive) difference when it comes to french press and pourover for me was in addition to following hoffman's advice when it comes to timing was ditching the golden ratio crap, 1:16 or 1:12 or whatever it was and going 1:10.
>>21075414Oh, silty. Eh, maybe for the last sip.
>>21075418>How do you guys deal with this?i neg her into compliance
imagine being born a beta
>>21075418So basically I do the soi face and I say something like>NOOOOO YOURE NOT ALLOWED TO LIKE K-CUPS!!!I don't get many 2nd dates, but I like to stick to my principles
>>21075429'based and respectable
>>21075418Honestly I'd choose a girl who doesn't think of coffee as an interest; there's more room to shape her preferences. That or you could list pour over, which k-cup girl won't even register as coffee.
>>21075418not being autistic helps. but on the real, as you get older you stop caring about shit that your gf likes or doesnt like.
>>21075418is being pretentious about coffee worse than gatekeeping beer?
>>21075418>How do you guys deal with this?by realizing my definition of being "into"something is very different to a normalfag'sso basically when someone tells me they're into something i also consider myself to be into, i don't buy it
Pepe?
Is it possible to make your own instant coffee?
>>21075995Yes. Buy a freeze dryer.Make coffeePlace coffee in the freeze dryer and runRemove and store your homemade instant coffee
i lost my coffee machine scooperis there a b&m store where i could find an easy replacement?
I need a decent few hour-ish course on how not to fuck up more brittle coffee if using V60.
Pink bourbon is growing on me
ahhh____...
i fucking loved washed beansSLURRRRRPyep thats niceYES HELL YEAHabout FUCKING TIME i got a good brewYESTILL THE DAY I FUCKING DIE BABY
>>21075418if she's the right kind of girl she'd be curious to indulge in light coffee autism and what 'ice cream truck' as a note means
>>21075436nigger coffee autists invented gatekeeping
>>21074668this image is lewder than it has any right to be
>>21074527why would you need one that expensive? my $10 manual works just fine
>>21076340wine autists probably did it first
>>21076355>$10a mortal and pesto is literally free...
>>21076347get your mind out the gutter!
>>21075007Yeah that's it. I have to get a normal 53mm compatible portafilter and the only one listed on amazon is 50 euris
These new caramel coffee pods are alright
good morning it is a great day for g o f f e e
Good morning saars I will do the needful and have another cup of Pink Bourbon
>>21077104very good saar, be sure to take your poo to the loo after the pink bourbon
>>21077104Noooooooo you fuckkkk, do not redeem the pink bourbon. Doooo not rreeeedeeeem.
>>21076021Try a scale instead for better precision.
>>21077358Can we not scalequeer this year? Eyeballing everything is perfectly fine.
>>21075400because Hoffman is a hack
I like Pink Bourbon more than Gesha and couldn't stand Pepe Jijon. Pink Bourbon has enough sweetness to justify the acidity, Pepe Jijon just tasted like marmalade mixed with battery acidHaven't had a cup of [redacted] the whole year, but am looking forward to seeing what it'll be like after a few days of Bourbon. My tummy will probably be relieved.
>>21077635Please fuck off back to /a/.
>>21077636No.
>>21077636Why are you always talking about posters' teritary tastes and not coffee?
>>21074668That’s it, I’m going to text her
bubbles during bloom = bad?
>>21077665How do you think he knows about "french roast" minmax janson, Wilton Benitez, and Pepe from a random shitty roaster in bumfuck montana?
>>21077671Bubbles during bloom=your coffee is fresh enough to still have trapped CO2.
>>21077671describe the reason you're supposed to bloom your coffee. what do you think it's for, what do you think it does?
>>21077636based
>>21075418tell her that only exists in the chinese cartoons and you can both have a laugh about it.
>>21077676Damn are there like three people in these threads? Thanks for the goffee advice, even if you see it as pearls before 豚
I went to a third wave coffee shop, but the barista sort of rolled his eyes at me when I asked for third wave coffee, and made quotation marks with his fingers when describing third wave. Is "third wave" not a universally accepted term? If so I guess I could understand that - some island coffee I've had has bright notes that set it apart from your typical Starbucks, referred to as second wave but not the fruity flavors you'd expect from a third wave
>>21078056Did he open and close his hand in front of you and go "huh" "huh" "huh"?
>>21078079No he was helpful just a bit condescending. made me a good cup of coffee tho
>>21078037There were more but they left when the JBM and weeb spam began.
>>21078111>weeb spamAnon I mentioned giving coffee to people during a secret santa I didn't post any animu besides one picture of a barista from Nichijou because I found the dialogue around how something can be "coffee" and yet not taste like "coffee-coffee" relevant to my exploration and issues with third wave.In what world is two posts, that are mostly focusing on coffee, spam?
>>21078056>Is "third wave" not a universally accepted term?its an "era" of coffee.its like going to an art dealer and saying "i want a neoclassical painting" which they will give you but not before rolling their eyes and thinking you are of a lower class or whatever.a more accepted term would be "specialty", but an even more common term would be "single origin coffee"
>>21078056yeah single origin is the term you're looking for, the term and the meaning. you can look at their menu and see if they have coffees from somewhere (regions of ethiopia, kenya, guatemala, colombia, etc.) listed under espresso, pourover, or dripgood odds they sell the beans they use, in which case you can look at the board, go look at the beans they have for sale on a shelf somewhere, and read over the tasting notes to see if you might like ithttps://youtu.be/O9YnLFrM7Fs?t=1107
>>21078056Stick to JBM you fucking retard lmfao
>>21078037>>21078111More people lurk/post when the OP is of higher quality. These last three threads have been pretty blatant trolling. Most of the regulars simply left, they'll probably be back when overall thread quality improves. Even the weeb OPs still get traffic because at least they're sincere in their coffee enthusiasm. I remember last year's New Year's thread hit bump limit within a day because the OP was a funny little collage of /ctg/ memes.
>>21078277Judging a thread's quality by how quickly it gets spammed to bump limit is a very poor metric.
>>21078322Sure, but I wasn't talking about recent troll/spam threads. Number of unique posters is generally a pretty good metric for thread quality.
>>21078464>>21078111anime website
>>21078277Those shitposting threads were pretty bad.
>>21078464>Number of unique postersHiroshimoot in his infinite wisdom removed IP count in 2024>>21078467this is an imageboard for food and cooking sir
do you redditors still rave about ip counts?
>>21078515Cause they're mad they can't mindlessly post>IPs didn't go upEvery time someone tells them they're retarded anymore
>>21078056tell him to make your venti and be quick about it. My beans don't need an origin story barista idiot.
drinking some natural processed light roast from Myanmarits okgotta dial it in more thoseems like a very coffee like coffee
>>21078640But what if they're double origin beans? :^)
Hello, I'm a clueless first time owner of a Kingrinder P1.Is there a way to make the zero indicator for the grind settings match the actual zero? (the moment you can't turn the grinder anymore when going clockwise). I feel like there must be, or putting numbers in there would be silly. But I can't figure out how
what the fuck is his deal?clearly has STRONG bias towards some products/brands"muh data driven research" just 2 guys, him and his cameraman circlejerking eachotherhe comes across as a dunning kruger"muh jonathan gagne, muh dr smrke"shill? neo-shill? retarded takes?yes
>twitter spacingmany such cases
>>21078766His deal is he's a failed English major who lucked out and got popular with the yt algorithm and decided to leverage that to harvest shill money It's the exact same story as like 90% of coffee YouTubers who have no idea what the fuck they're talking about but had one lucky video start trending and then snowballed by pretending to be some kind of expert
i thought it was a good idea to add a pinch of psyllium husks to my french press for extra fiber. how do i fix it?
>>21078952retard
>>21078775He was a green buyer for onyx for years before YouTube took off. There's a reason they're on the Roastful Top 100 every year.
If I call everyone Dunning Kruger will it make my morning brews better? I can't decide if I'm making actual points anymore or am just sexually frustrated by the success of coffee product shills.
>>21079182yes
>>21078254Eh Pink Bourbon is my new go to. There's supposedly a really good ethiopian at a goffee shop near me, gonna try some day if I can
>>21079208Once again, you have a very shallow view of coffee. You've had one single crop from one single producer from one single roaster. You're not going to love every pink bourbon. Not every gesha is going to taste like the washed janson.
>>21079214Young master, the frog may not have wings, but he cannot even hope to get out of the well if he does not attempt to leap. I have tried three different types of Pink Bourbon and so far I've found the Rodriquez from Ley roasters to be the best for my tastes. It's brighter than the Wilton Benitez "potion" variant I tried and has more of a body than the Nicaraguan washed pink bourbon I had a chance to try at a friend's.
>>21079233Sorry, "Sey" roasters. Typo
>>21078756pls respondi am miffed that the zero on the dial and the point where you can't turn it anymore don't match
who was in the right?
>>21079241its called zeroingthe cheaper the grinder the less likely that it is properly zeroed from the factory.i cant find a zeroing guide specifically for the p1 but i assume you are able to find the zero point and then move the numbers to the point where the zero point and the zero number line up.but then again its a $30 grinder so if you cant do that then i wouldn't exactly be surprised.
>>21079259i dont care and neither should you.
>>21079241The answer is no, you can't change it.>>21079233Wilton Benitez doesn't call his coffees "potion". That's the random branding a random roaster uses for process forward coffees. So you like washed coffees more than thermal shock anaerobic coferments. And it's "Rodriguez". Dieson Rodriguez. Lower altitude farm than Granja Paraiso. >>21079259Mazzer has much more money for shills. You'd think YouTube's biggest shill would be cashing their checks.
>>21079261>>21079270Welp. Just seems a bit odd to spend the extra effort in having a machine put the numbers in the dial for a cheap grinder then. Thanks anyhow, I was wondering whether I was missing something obvious
>>21079273Its just a reference. "Zero" + 30 clicks/one rotation is "One". For what it's worth most grinders don't let you change the dial.
>>21079270Woah Anon, if you're gonna chide me for over-generalization, wouldn't it be a bit quick to say I liked washed more than thermal shock anaerobic? Had a really good anaerobic coffee I'd say was on par or better than the Rodriguez from a coffee shop I went to a few days ago, too bad I forgot its name and origin. I'll ask when I go today and post my thoughts, maybe then you can tie up my tastes in a nice little bow, which I guess is ok when you do it.
>>21079285You've been felating washed amazon jbm and panama robusta blends for weeks. Youve bitched about anything with any sort of funk or forward acid. I think it's safe to say that's your preference. If this imaginary coffee shop anaerobic was any good, you'd remember it and would have started spamming about it by now.
>>21078696I've been drinking lots of single origins from around the world and I'm realizing that there isn't actually that much difference between them unless you go for a weird process (like anaerobic)
>>21079327you are wrong and have bad tastepanamaethiopiapngburundibrazilhondurasindiaall taste different, even when just normal washed process.and that flavor changes again when natural process.
>>21079337Well when you’re including poopshit low altitude coffee from Brazil/India/etc. I guess there might be a differenceA washed Costa Rican and a washed El Salvador are going to taste very similar, similar enough that I would need to taste them side by side to tell a difference
>>21078756>>21079241No you can'tI have a P2 and the zero on the indicator is at 18 clicks, which luckily it's perfectly fine for espresso which is all I'm using it for
>>21079294Nah I liked the anaerobic better than the panama after I tried several cups and compared them with JBM, I was just busy that day so I forgot what it was. Which by the way I have figured out is best from the Clydesdale Estate - you get the fruitiness of a third wave but the low acidity of JBM.Anyways, remember the context of me liking the Panama - it was the context of looking for a Trader Joe tier coffee with trader joe tier prices.
>>21078952Buy a new screen. Honestly I'm curious what that did. Was it like a superfine filter?
>>21078952You're better off just taking the psyillium husk pills, but if the gelatin scares you I just chug a spoonful with a glass of water and pinch my nose.
>>21079259lol seething philos owner

Realistically can anything beat the moccamaster at a 250-300 dollar price point?
>>21080221a moccamaster at $200?
on which comandante click roughly should I grind for clever dripper?
>>21080355that dependshave you zeroed it?but its just a filter coffee at the end of the day so just normal filter coffee setting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN1X4ELC3-o
>>21080377>have you zeroed it?Yes, though after reassembly my zero is bit different than factory output. Factory's #1 was bit mushy, like there was about 1/3rd of force left. For me #0 is blocked but #1 is already smooth.

What are your thoughts on the Hibrew H10b? I'm planning on replacing my cheap espresso machine, and this one seems pretty good, lots of features and positive reviews online.
New year new beans brohs, wild fruity abyssinians.>The moss-covered, densely interwoven coffee plants in the mountain rainforest of Yeyibito have a mystical effect. The ancestors of today's 166 coffee farmers, who collect their wild Arabica on an area of 206 hectares of forest, already knew that a unique coffee thrives here.>The wild coffee cherries collected are dried naturally in the sun by the farmers and sorted bean by bean after peeling. For the Wild Coffee Collection, we select the best beans and roast them into a fruity coffee.>The Wild Coffee Collection is a limited and numbered edition of 480 bags/year from Kaffa workshop.Tasty, delicate, fruity and balanced. Perfect for a a gentle start to the year.Choco is Garçoa Bundibugyo 70%>We produce this single origin chocolate from the cocoa beans of the producer organization Semuliki Cooperative Union in the Bundibugyo region of Uganda. The cocoa for this chocolate is fermented and dried directly on the individual farms. The special thing about it is that they do this using a specially developed fermentation protocol in piles covered with banana leaves.>Bundibugyo 70% tastes invigorating, fruity-sweet, with ripe berries and surprising citrus accents.Matches great with teh bio Yeyibito.
>>21074328first time trying the hario switch today and i hate it, the stupid little plastic piece is hard to use mid brew and even when its closed it still leaks
>>21081761>Hibrew H10bbuy 'nice' or buy twice, buy a GCP for $400 that will last you for decades then down the line upgrade to a Gaggiuino if you get FOMO.

>>21081866fucking retardanywayenjoy your coffee.
is there a melo drip switch?! that would be so cool
Tried some Wilson Alba 2nd Harvest Pink Bourbon today. It was a lot more mellow but that seems to come at the cost of not having as many bright notes as the Deison Rodriguez. Not sure which one I like better. Same roaster, SEY
>>21081263He's a post-meta-neo-crypto-modern-techno-anarcho-shill with chinese characteristics, i understand.PS do you have that cool paljeet coffee serving machine that id dipped in instand coffee and liquid comes out?
what's the point of drinking coffee if i have caffeine immunity?
>>21082928taste
>>21082928you want a warm drink that isn't tea or cocoayou want an iced drink that isn't water or soft drink or chocolate or whatever
>>21082928I envy you
>>21078766Lance never gave me the idea that he goes in a video wanting a result, but after getting a result, he will try to defend it and shill it through the rest of timeHe just is convinced of the stuff he does and does not want to change his belief, it's like his video on dial-in pour overs where he would change the temperature for different coffees within 3 degrees, while stating many other times that it doesn't make a differenceI was excited for the mazzer review, but seeing that it was a comparison with the zerno, it was expected of what he wants to sayIts not that he goes in a review thinking something, its that he is really stubborn on changing his opinion, and seeing that he comes from academia, you can see he uses his "im a professional" way more than any other coffee youtuberKinda sad since a lot of his videos are helpful, I wish hoffmann did more stuff like this instead of meme shit (which is kinda fun in a way)
today i realized that i can just put my clever dripper on the cup from the start and use it "like" a normal v60(its not a cone but the concept is similar enough)so if i dont feel like doing steep and release i can just brew smaller, faster cups that have a lighter profile.just felt like a total retard when that realization popped into my head.i was going to buy some loveramics drippers but i thought do i really need another filter brewer right now? and then it hit me, the clever is sort of 2 filter brewers in one.oh and i dont really have a review of the hg1, i will probably keep sprinkling little thoughts, details and feelings about it in these threads for a while but for now have a picture of what it looked like in the box when i opened it.sorry its a bit fuzzy and grainy, i dont have a good camera.the hg1 surprised me today, i was too lazy to rdt and just wanted a quick 15g filter brew and just chucked the beans in and ground them... and no static or mess, really weird. usually there is a little even when i rdt.maybe something to do with the weather, very muggy, stormy weather the last few days and a couple hours before i ground there was a huge thunder storm so maybe the metal of the grinder became differently charged and didnt generate the usual amount of static(??????)
>>21083852oh its sideways.
>>21083852what a wonderful piece of engineering, what was your previous grinder? did you feel any difference in taste?
>>21083888>what was your previous grinder?rok grinderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdsqF83x9rA>did you feel any difference in taste?yes hoff also reviewed the weber hg2(which is essentially the same grinder as the craig lyn hg1 prime except like $600 more expensive)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL65i1XhVecand like he says the hg1 has a ton of body, super rich flavor and great mouth feel. they are 83 mm conical burrs, thats generally the coffee that that type of burr makes. and thats the kind of coffee i prefer.i respect high clarity burrs but i just prefer a heavier coffee.but because these burrs are so new and are going to take alot longer to really break in i doubt what im tasting now is its "true profile"but it does have extremely consistent particle size, especially after using the blind shaker.and again like hoffmann says the grounds that it produces look incredible, the rok made great coffee for the burrs it had. and the coffee grounds from it also looked good but comparing the 2 doesnt even really feel possible or fair.like comparing a $20,000 car vs a $200,000 luxury sports car.like yes they have similar features and do similar things in similar ways but ultimately you cant really compare them in any meaningful way.i love my rok and i think im always going to have it(im planning on taking it apart and cleaning, polishing, reassembling it and displaying it) but the rok felt like i was simply using a tool to grind coffee beans into a powder.but using the hg1 it feels like im the head chef and it is the sous-chef and we are working together to create something incredible.(but i do prefer the way you hold/use the rok it has 2 "legs" that provide much more stable support and you put your hand right on top and push down through the center of mass, whereas the hg1 you hold a handle and have to use alot more force in a sort of forwards and down pressure which is off the center of mass, idk like if you combined the rok and the hg1 it'd be 10/10)
>>21083936Be sure to get some good beans for your new grinder. I’d recommend JBM; they’re Arabic and smooth with full body
>>21083950here is the blue mountain i roasted (and drank) a couple weeks ago.
>>21081866hope you make a good cup with it, been using it forever. Only issue I have with it is that it’s annoying to clean. Year later it’s beginning to retain coffee odors and I need to actually take it apart
>>21083954lookit them beansMy brand redacted beans are looking dark and oily. Is this your optimal roast? Do you often adjust the goals or settings from batch to batch? I like to juggle light and medium cups day to day.
>And if you like having fun put your lips to the tip of the grouphead and you can blow the shot out into the bin.How am I supposed to feel about this?
when did ctg die?
>>21084398When you showed up
>>21084258>redacted beans are looking dark and oilyWe know.
Ask for an Americano at a roaster + speciality Cafe and they say that's just their normal long black, they pull them all like that.
>>21084439no but for real
How often do you clean your grinder?
>>21084518clean?
>>21084524D:
>>21084518I use a brush to clean the bit where the coffee comes out every grind. I use Urnex every 3 weeks or so.
huh, grinder? what are ya gay?
>>21084735yea
>>21084258>Is this your optimal roast?no but i roasted a bit conservatively for the first batchit was a large batch and i hadnt roasted these beans before.i would prefer a little darker.still tasty tho.they actually tasted darker than they look.next time i roast i will probably try to go a little darker. but seeing the exact color of them can be hard when roasting and you cant get them to the color you want while its roasting because they will continue to get darker as they cool down.so you might hit your target in the roast chamber but then overshoot it during the cooling processso you have to start the cooling process before you hit your target and hope that there is enough heat left to get there.professionals do it with science and data and computers and shit but at home you just gotta feel when its right or wrong and go from there.
>>21084476holidays are overpeople are busy.
my thoughts after going down the rabbit holepour over is a memecold brew is a memeespresso is a memeliterally eveything that isn't Folgers from a $20 walmart drip machine is a meme.
>he did the meme
I've got 2 bialetti machines, a 6 cup and a 2 cup, plus a hand grinder.Today's brew is Lavazza Super Crema.The right way of doing is using cold water, don't go using hot water as you will not get the full flavour nor the full economy of the machine. Also; once brewed, stir the coffee in the pot before pouring it. You'll get all of those delicious oils mixed into the cup straight away.All I need now is a smoke.
>>21084518Compressed air, and a brush.Simple.
>>21084929nice postexcited to brew tomorrow brosremember to enjoy life and coffee (:
>>21081772sounds fuckin delightful
>>21085796"ok"do you want help or not
>>21085882>Compressed airjust bought an electric rechargeable dusterso good.wolfbox or something.worth the price for sure.
>>21085897I have tanks of nitrogen for work (HVAC tech) I normally hook up a gauge line and blow out the grinder lmao if I don't have a can of air.
Does the E&B 6 cup competition filter fit on a 6 cup bialetti venus ?
>>21084518once every three months I thinkits not organized, sometimes I think "well, might as well just do it"
>>21085987yes(i think)
FUCK COFFEGET IN meMIGHTmight just have a chamomile
I literally only>buy the cheapest bean coffee from LIDL for less than $0.26 per oz of beans, even if I take a more expensive option>literally drink coffee every day, and sometimes even 6 large cups because of how delicious it tastes>the DeLonghi coffee machine is literally god tier and delivers the best quality I can imagineI literally see no difference between the cheap beans from LIDL with the cheapest DeLonghi machine I could find compared to the ultra expensive coffees.I drink all my coffee raw with zero additional stuff. Just tap water and beans grinded through my DeLonghi and pressed into my cup.All this bullshit about "coffee difference" is just bullshit. Literally the cheapest beans coffee with the cheapest coffee machine I could find and normal tap water is for me more than enough.Just imagine you can enjoy coffee every day, drink as much as you want, and see no meaningful difference in your money expenses.I can't understand how people buy $1k+ machines and insanely expensive coffee. I love my coffee and I pay not even $100 in a year for coffee and I have the sub $300 machine already for year. And I talk about insane coffee consumption of at least 4+ LARGE cups per day.If you spend insane amounts of money on coffee, just buy a cheap coffee machine (look up reviews if you can't get a very cheap DeLonghi), buy cheap bones from a grocery store you trust, and just test drinking this raw coffee for a months.I wouldn't touch any expensive coffee anymore, because of how delicious my giga cheap coffee is.
>>21086052Post whatever beans you're getting for that cheap. I've never seen any for less than 5 bucks a pound.
>>21085995I vaguely remember some anon having that setup and I wanted to be sure instead of searching for measurements. I should just get the E&B pot instead of trying to save 10€.
>>21084518I brush and blow out my hand grinder after every use, take 20 seconds which I do while the water boils. I’ve maybe taken part the grinder once a year or longer for a deep clean
>>21086129>I should just get the E&B pot instead of trying to save 10€.yes its much higher quality than the bialettialso it has a larger basket made from better materials.
>>21086052>I literally see no difference between the cheap beans from LIDL with the cheapest DeLonghi machine I could find compared to the ultra expensive coffeesdon't understand this unless you have some medically fucked up palate or never actually had "ultra expensive coffees"I drink cheap coffee (friend's houses, diners, on the road etc.) and it tastes nothing like nice coffee
>>21086052ok master bater, i'll biteif you like it, it's fine. but people really enjoy drinking good stuff. if you coons like your catfish nuggets, who am i to talk you into salmon?
>>21085987>competition filterwhat's the competition?!
>>21080221not really, it makes the best coffee i have ever had out of a drip maker
>>21086876arent you forgetting someon- i mean something anon?
>>21086888i am not a pod person
>>21086876Imagine how good it would be if it wet the entire bed.
>>21086911all i do is rotate the fucking basket a couple times during the cycle
>>21086919Isn't the entire point of having a machine for drip brew that it does all the work for you?
>>21086919i sentence you to 38 hours of manual breathing
>>21086924for me, moving my wrist 2" is not really work.it gets the water to a perfect temp every time and you really don't need to fuck with it, the coffee tastes the same
>>21086937>you really don't need to fuck with it, the coffee tastes the samethen why do you fucks with it?
>>21086937>for me, moving my wrist 2" is not really work.More pleasure, I'm sure.
>>21086919Seems like something they could have fixed in the past 65 years of making the exact same machine.
>>2108694050% i am standing there waiting for my coffee anyway and 50% undiagnosed OCD
>>21086888are k-cups just instant coffee with extra steps?
>>21086977k-cups are instant coffee with fewer steps.
>>21086888>lets make this more complicated than it needs to be and then sell it
Stupid question from a first-time owner of a hand grinder:I wasn't expecting that the output would stick so much to the grinder, or that even removing the receiver to actually use the grinds would cause so many little pieces to go floating around. I've taken to using the brush not for cleaning, but to actually make sure the coffee that is not on the receiver gets there. Is this normal? Is it supposed to be messy, or is it just because I'm new
>>21087294is it a k6if it's not then wet a finger, shake off 95% of the moisture, and stir the beans with it before you grind
>>21086052Enjoy what you enjoy. There's a lot of choice bias to these people that spend thousands on their setup. Anyone can jump into a sports car but that doesn't mean they've done their diligence to operate the thing.
gotta buy some more whitening strips, the dark side of the cofveve life
>>21087374>lot of choice bias to these people that spend thousands on their setupI don't think that's what's going on here. the most common setup is probably k6 ($85), gooseneck kettle (~$50), v60 ($25) which is less than he spentit's not like wine where you need to train to notice suble differences. I'm not that sensitive and I could pick out lidl beans vs ones from a decent roaster 100% of the time
>>21087534Target sells $100 DeLonghis. I'm not sure which machine I'm supposed to be assuming on his troll. I've only had Aldi beans a couple times and it hasn't been memorable, low to average. That's a practical pour over setup. What am I supposed to be arguing here?
>>21087689>arguingidkI just don't think "all beans taste the same, don't spend more than the lowest possible amount" is acceptable advice. I don't think if it's possible to taste good beans at a competent coffee shop and not notice the difference
>drink a cup>fall asleepI hate ADD so much bros
>>21087732I think if the setup is what anon needs and the results and economy are there then they're right to lock it in. I used a free keurig for 18 months and don't regret it. I learned a lot from the mildly bad then worse cups that thing shot out. The low rent machines can be a litmus test if a person wants to branch out.

>>21087402Use Apagrard Royal with a sonicare and use a waterpik. You shouldn't need to so any additional whitening.
>>21086876i imagine this would work better with darker roasts, since there isnt a constant flow and theres not an even saturation of the bed
Found a whole bean blend i really like even if its commie coffee. Fruity but no orange fruity more like a raspberry fruity and super bright
Pic rel from yesterday, my rigs. Love using them, bros.
>>21088417that a stovetop steamer?i do love a good moka brewdidnt know bialetti made grinders
>>21088456>that a stovetop steamer?no its the same as a moka pot but it pours the brewed coffee into 2 little cups that you place on there.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS3G84O1J0Q
b e a n w a t e r eanwater
is timemore flow the goldilocks zone kettle right now?
>>21088417>fell for the bialetti jewsmany such cases
>>21088545>timemore flowwhat?
>>21088564timemore fish, im dumb.
>>21088567this does NOT look like a good flowhttps://youtu.be/lBB2Z30RYmQ?feature=shared&t=49its breaking up before it even hits the water and its not even a long pour.and the base controls look annoying, just use buttons ffs
>>21088572AIUI base controls were fixed in the gen2 of the 600 ml model.
>>21088520The last thing that guy needs is more coffee, fucking hell.
damn, both of my espresso shots channeled like crazy today...
>>21086052If you are budgetmaxxing, for ~$6.50/bag the peruvian coffee aldi sells is also pretty good. I keep a few bags of it in my fridge and go through one when my favorite specialty blend from my local roaster is out of stock.
Damn they have brew burrs for df54 now. Poors eating good.
>>21089135Better buy before Trump Tariffs go into effect
>>21088520>What if Hideaki Anno designed a coffee makerI'm not going to lie, I want one.
>>21088520oh thats neatolooks kinda silly compared to the OG moka pot though>>21089308hehi was at the mall the other day and i popped into a weird kind of collab cafe set up by a bank and a popular regional roaster apparently, you get a discount on your cuppas if you bank with them, lolthey had several varieties offered for pour over, somewhat uncommon in my experiencei had a washed Ethiopian, it was fantasticthey used a Kalita Wave for it, which i found interesting, as it seems rather underappreciated here in the statesvery comfy interior, lots of padded chairs bit overpriced but not drasticallytyfrmb (;
>>21088537>"AYOOO DIS NIGGA DRINKN' BEANS!"
>>21080221>>21086876but why get a fancy drip maker?
>>21088941For me it's the Honduras from Aldi.
>>21081050i chug a glass of water and eat nothing, i do not eat before noon
>>21090369oh no no no
>>21088007Thank you anon!
What sort of electric scales do you guys recommend? Mine is really shitty and unreliable. It's extremely sensitive to the surface it's on needing to be 100% level
>>21090413been using this for a few years, works for mehttps://alternativebrewing.com.au/products/hario-coffee-scalesbut it might be too big if you want a scale for espresso.
>>21075256LIAR
>>21090054For fancy coffee, of course.
best adjustable grinder under $50 I can find on amazon? I picked up some single farm beans from a place in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. They used a scale, grinder, water heater and a pour over. I've got the middle two, but need a decent grinder and pour over set.
>>21090678>best adjustable grinder under $50 I can find on amazon?no
>>21090678There are a lot of c3 style copies at that budget and who really knows. I like the unooder that was blown out at $16. It uses the basic undermount click adjustment. It has better ergonomics despite being smaller and having less micro adjustment than my icalifas. Zerohero looks cool at $65. Anything past these is 1zpresso, kingrinder territory.
>>21090390wow your lowres jpeg has changed my way of thinking and made me reconsider all my life decisions, thanks
>>21090490Honestly could go for some tar-black coffee and cherry pie right now
>>21090490>>21090898And bacon a half-second from becoming charcoal, for that matter.
the stories are true, all of them, i DID in fact have 2(TWO) coffee's today.
>>21090921That a 2 coffees too many.

Am I really a tasteless bastard if I think pre-ground coffees can be nice?
>>21091617yes
>>2109161790% of coffee taste is just the beans and then everything after that varies from mildly impactful to autism
how much coffee grounds is in a rounded tbsp?
>>2109173915-20 gr, heavier the higher altitude, lighter with the roast time
>>21091755i see coffee scoops on amazon at 10g so are those supposed to be half-tbsp ?
>>21091761might be, or just auto generated ESL word slop
>>21088268Yeah its official I'm in love with this one, might even beat [redacted]. It's like a parody of a third wave since it does the same fruity notes and brightness but just way over the top with all of them. Too bad the bean blend is sold by a roaster 16 hours away from me. Guess i could always just buy a lb of both of the listed beans
>>21091180Just get two and return the one you don't like as much.
>>21091770is it arabic and sweet with full body

Currently on holiday in New Zealand. Though I'm not looking for "the best" coffee places. Thought I'd wander and try whatever place labels themselves as having great coffee.First up bay of Islands in the town of Russel a small Cafe attached to one of the oldest printing press and book bindery. "The French coffee house", labels themselves as serving "French coffee". They didn't have espresso on their menu so that was a bad sign, I ordered a Latte instead. French coffee is apparently code for heavily overextracted, pasteries are good though. 2/10 thank you for reading my blog.
>>21092982>Currently on holiday in New Zealand.north island or south island?my sister is going to nz next month, if you do find a great place make another blog post so we can know :)
>>21093001Currently on a cruise and visiting both islands. Still north at the moment. The cruise ship is using lavazza beans and I'm drinking black on board as it's free. I won't speak on the horror of its taste.Stopped in Auckland today, nice place. Highly recommended the Weta workshop for anyone interested in movies and/or movie making, fantastic experience. Stopped at a little tucked away place called Chuffed who advertised themselves with a sign as a "specialty coffee" place. Still no espresso on the menu so I ordered a macchiato instead. Sour is the word here, badly underextracted, the dollop of milk did nothing to mask it. The "Barista" asked me how my coffee was when I went to pay, not wanting to be rude, I diverted the conversation and asked him what kind of roast his beans were. I shit you not he gave me a blank look. I said "you know, medium, dark?" He said "oh no, not dark they're brown" pointing to the hopper the beans were in. I nodded and promptly left. Nice food though. 1/10.
