oh im late :(
anyone else feel like they need a coffee before they make coffee?
2 days in a row i forgot to change my grind setting before grinding so i ground for the wrong brew method
>>

>>anyone else feel like they need a coffee before they make coffee?
I've definitely fucked up some coffees before I had some.
>>
>>21623110
i just keep my first brew real simple and make a moka
>>
>>21623113
>a moka
i was making moka this morning but my grind was still on espresso from last night
and i cant remove the beans once i've put them in the grinder so i just have to stand there looking at my mistake knowing i have to grind it even tho its wrong
so i ground it and just put it into a little container for later
and the reverse happened a couple days ago
meant to grind for espresso but i was on moka grind from the day before
oh well
all part of the fun :)
>>
>>21623127
glad youre not too bent up about it
>>
>>21623127
>cant remove the beans once i've put them in the grinder so i just have to stand there looking at my mistake knowing i have to grind it even tho its wrong
Couldn't you stop the grind once you realize and set it to the proper grind size? At least save a portion of the dose.
>>
>>21623135
>and set it to the proper grind size
no
at least not on the hg1p
i mean there might be a way to do it but im not interested enough to find out
better to just commit to the mistake and move on
at least its on the right setting but for the wrong brew method so i can save it for later
it would really suck if you are dialing in but forgot to change the grind setting so you make 2 brews on the wrong setting knowing it should be different
which has happened to me, where i made a mental note while drinking that it needed to be finer but then not actually changing the setting so i just pull the same shot the next day

and then there is the classic where you grind without the catch cup being under the grinder so it just goes all over the bench
luckily i think thats only happened to me twice
once on the rok once on the hg1p

good coffee today
hbu?
>>
>>21623145
>made a mental note while drinking that it needed to be finer but then not actually changing the setting so i just pull the same shot the next day
if it's the case that you know you're going to pull another shot the next day, just adjust the grind right after taking that first sip.

45 minute moka/journal sessions but you can't remember what you brewed last. Sounds like a skill issue. Here's some Honduran anaerobic red honey on my espresso profile for the usual guy. You getting any good greens down there?
>>
>>21624075
>45 minute moka/journal sessions but you can't remember what you brewed last.
your info is outdated
and when i was doing it they were in the moment and i was caffeinated
in the situation you are replying to its the next day and im un-caffeinated
>You getting any good greens down there?
no
mostly boring stuff
i had a dream recently they were selling green natural process burundi kibingo
i woke up and raced to my computer to buy it only find it was just a fantasy
i think i still have some blue mountain stashed way in the back of my freezer...
but ill save that for a special occasion

those beans look great
have you considered making chocolate coated coffee beans?
>>
>>21623812
are you asking about recipes?
no, they can change the profile of the coffee

Second brew of the day
>>
>>21624248
yes, recipes
i've been using hoffmann's recipe and today i decided to use the 4:6 one, and coffee literally tastes the same
>inb4 your beans are shit
no they're not
>>
>>21624307
whatcha brewin?
howd it taste?
just sat down with a v60'd washed kenyan, me
not bad, bit sweet, bit savory
>>
>>21624311
if youre not comparing them back to back, you cant really say they literally taste the same
also 4:6 isnt a recipe, its a framework

Nope. My mother was a confectioner for years though. Pretty sure you need to roast them extremely soluble(and/or use cheap low altitude garbage) so people don't fuck their teeth up on dense beans. Got that guys package(2 honduran, 1 guat, + various teas) in the mail today so tomorrow I get a nice sunday to myself. Panama gesha sips and some real good beans up on the roast. Might actually sample the elkin guzman cm. Little over a month rest on that so it should be poppin.

i eat high altitude light roast coffee all the time. and my teeth are fucked up. this is not an issue.

>>21624311
try a two pours one and see if there's a difference

I ran out of coffee some while ago
now for 3-4 days my muscles/nerves are stressed and in constant low level of pain that doesnt go away unless I eat a lot of ibuprofen
is that normal

No, go see a doctor

>>21625615
Are you getting proper sleep? And at a normal time for humans? I once thought I had coffee withdraw after 4 days without it but it was really because I was on a break from having to do anything and I would sleep from 5am to 3pm and never actually get proper sleep.
>>
>>21625677
The sleep rhythm is the same as it was before
I suppose no coffee means its faster to get sleep and the sleep is deeper
>>
Coffee addicts are familiar with the migraine-like headaches that occur when constricted blood vessels in the head expand due to caffeine withdrawal.
Disrupted sleep patterns and going back to sleep often trigger migraines.

could you under dose espresso and then make up the rest of the headroom with a really thick puck screen?
which would also eliminate the expansion of the puck.

Monday morning is here. I didn't get a chance to do a weekend reset because I tried out tea for the first time
>>
>>21627584
>I tried out tea for the first time
how did that go
>>
>>21627614
Well it was with tea bags which I understand is like the equivalent of instant coffee, it was kinda flavorless unless I used two. I want to try some strong, funkier tasting stuff instead of just hot water
>>
>>21627584
You've never drunk tea before?
Not even dunking on you, just hard to believe, and kinda interesting if true.
>>
>>21627670
yeh you really do need top quality loose leaf
i dont drink tea but family and friends do and i want to offer them the same quality of tea as i have for coffee.
i probably spend $300-500 a year on tea that i dont even drink lol
sorry i cant recommend anything outside of australia

i wanna buy a delonghi ECP3420 and get a single+double shot basket for it. I have a 1zpresso jx-pro manual grinder already.

Do you usually need to dial in all over again if you're doing single versus double shots? On weekends I'd be pulling for me and the wife but sometimes I'd be pulling just for me. I guess we could always just pull doubles and split or drink all of it alone but I'm curious if i should bother getting both baskets at all.
>>
>>21627916
>i wanna buy a delonghi ECP3420
why
>>
>>21627938
very cheap yet capable machine from what i've read. I'm not spending 800 on the next best thing.
>>
>>21627939
get one of these instead

>>21627944
>5yo vid
on top of that Hoffman seems very pessimistic about all non 1k+ machines it feels like whereas more nuanced reviewers will tell you if something's passable or garbage at the least.
>>
>>21627916
no one actually uses single shot baskets
also yes, you're gonna have to dial in all over again anyway
>>
>>21627950
>>5yo vid
is he wrong?
if not then it doesnt matter when the video came out.
also you have said nothing about a grinder
if you arent using a good espresso grinder then this whole conversation is moot anyways
>>
>>21627950
>very pessimistic about all non 1k+ machines
as should be
poors should stick to poorover swill
>>
>>21627958
>>21627916
i said i have a 1zpresso jx-pro grinder

It doesnt mean he's wrong but if he were to do that vid today the entire lineup could be different
>>
>>21627950
Buy a secondhand GCP and a Gaggimate or Gagguino and you have a Decent for less than 800.
>>
>>21627962
>the entire lineup could be different
sure
but it wouldnt include the ECP3420
and anything from this video is better than the ECP3420
>1zpresso jx-pro grinder
my mistake nothing after you said "ECP3420" was worth reading.
$500 is already extremely cheap for an espresso machine
i could not in good conscience recommend any electric machine lower than that price point.
+ another $3-500 for a capable grinder.
also i know the jx pro can do it but how often have you used it at espresso fine?
i hear very often from people with that or similar grinders that its capable but a pain in the ass to use every time they want a shot and just sell it for an electric grinder.
>>
>>21627916
Wait for black friday sales. Get a brass boiler gaggia from wholelattelove, clive, seattle coffee gear etc.
>single versus double shots
Yes.
>>
>>21627977
i've been making espresso fine with my jx-pro + flair neo with the bottomless portafilter but i want something slightly faster that has a steam wand.
There's a vid that's 4 months old from Lance hedrick saying the modded ecp3420 is goated for budget picks if you want to get into espresso and you can even mod a PID on it (which i will not do). His next best pick was the gaggiamate so overall that seemed fine for me. Saw a lot of other reviewers saying it pulls shots fine. I just need good enough, not barista competition tier.
>>
>>21628012
>gaggiamate
thats a great choice
>>
>>21628020
Compared to gaggiuino, not so much.
>>
>>21628029
Slightly less features but also less expensive and you’re not waiting months to get it
>>
>>21628054
Significant difference in feature set. One can run basic profiling, the other has near Decent level control. Not saying *mate won't eventually get there, its just the difference of like 5 years dev time and 25 people working on it. Pretty sure Lance didn't like iuino because they called him a faggot on discord and wouldn't cater to him while the mate guy sucked him off.
>>
>>21628156
>Pretty sure Lance didn't like iuino because they called him a faggot
brb buying a gaggiuino
