Any black Friday coffee deals?
*Color* friday is to sell you shite, avoidToday i got some cool strong beans
>>21746777repeating digits of wisdom
Shit pic OP you've lost your thread making privileges
>>21746890Yeah? Let's see your thread.
>>21746733Coffee or coffee equipment?
>>21746727My boss keeps buying folgers which is some of the most god awful coffee I have ever tasted - makes me feel bad too. WTF do they put in it? I have only ever bought whole beans and folgers defies what coffee should taste like.
>>21747336just commodity robusta brewed as aggressively as possible
>>21747329nta but im interested in both
>>21746937You must be old and confused. Check warosu.

>>21746727All the grinders in the pastebin are manual for the half dozen I looked at. What's the cheapest decent electric burr grinder I can get these days?
>>21747965df54
Should I go for>single origin>pink bourbon>meme taste notes: red currant, floral, orangeor>holiday blend>ethiopian local heirloom and pink bourbon>extra memey taste notes: cherry strudel, orange marmalade, pound cake
>>21747965espresso or filter?
>>21748045why not both?
>>21748045I don't like blends unless I am making them on the spot myself. Its too hard to dial in when the amount of each bean per dose changes every time.
>>21748045Get the holiday blend now and the single origin next time.
>>21748050Competent roasters will blend the greens prior to roasting.
>>21748054Nothing more I love in my blends than all components roasted equally shitty.
>>21748059retard
>>21748054Its the opposite. Competent roasters know every bean needs to be treated differently to get the most out of it. Regardless it still doesn't change the fact that you end up with an unknown amount of each in every dose. Even if you take OPs example an ethiopian and a PB, roast them exactly the same, they will still need to be dialed in differently. Its silly to say they were roasted together so everything else is the same too.
>>21748064Yeah, that makes sense. I was under the impression that >>21748050 was talking about blends where the beans are at completely different roast levels, which is pretty common from sub-par roasters.
>>21747965>meme answerThat $20 battery powered zerohero grinder that Espresso Outlet has on his ebay page. I have no clue why he thought it was a good idea to buy a bunch of those.>non meme answerEureka filtro. You have to do a couple of mods to it, namely removing the declumper, replacing the stock power button with a rocker switch, getting a tilted base, and installing some bellows. But Eureka basically uses the same drive system on all their grinders so the filtro should be spec'd for light commercial use. It's more robust than the df54, but the df54 is a turnkey system.
>>21748045>taste note: poundwhat the fuck is that meant to be?
>>21748336>pound cakeyou should consider suicide.
>>21748341okay I should probably go to bed because I looked at that line and literally didn't see "cake" the first time I read it. I even thought that's what it would be, but because it wasn't there I was thinking it was something else.
>>21748347sounds like you need more coffee:)
Lagom casa and lelit bianca coming in the mail today, upgrading from a comandante and flair classic. Let's fucking go

Thinking about buying the breville luxe brewer while it's on sale. Any objections?
>>21748525>Any objections?yes
post coffee NOW
This is the best way to make coffee, is it not?
>>21748859yes
>>21748831
I shipped some coffee from a local shop to my coffee-loving parents, but I don't really know what the fuck I'm doing. All I know is they like dark roasts. I chose:French Tanzanian PeaberryJamaican Blue MountainVienna Sumatra MandhelingHope I chose wisely!
>>21748877Based home roasting chad. What do u roast on?
>>21748877wash your curtains anon
>>21748915I just use a sr800. I need to get a temperature probe for more consistent roasts but I've been getting better results than any of my local roasters so I'm happy with it
It’s Black Friday and I still don’t know whether to get a Breville+, a Gaggia and what like mod it? Or do I aim for something in the $999 range. Help me /ctg/!
>>21749077>he hasn't taken the Robotpill
>>21749077>2012ok gramps lets get you back to bed.
Are cheaper grinders really that bad, I've been just making coffee with a cheap sunbeam coffee machine and store bought pre ground coffee till now
>>21748831No.>>21749290Depends. Those you posted are all dogshit though.
Thots on guatemalan beans? Third bag in a row i get off this, its TIGHT as shit, wine chocolatey but also almonds
>>21749077Are you primarily drinking milk drinks or straight espresso? >milk -- bambino>espresso -- modded gaggia Don't waste your money on the bambino+.
>>21749361>Depends. Those you posted are all dogshit though.Well, can you suggest some on a similar price range then anon?
>>21749290Look for a steel burr and it should be okay-ish. All of those have ceramic burrs which are slow and inconsistent.
>>21749380Wait for a restock on the $22 or $33 Kingrinder P series. If you can go up to $44 you get a comandante clone in a plastic body with the P2.https://www.amazon.com/KINGrinder-Lightweight-Espresso-Consistency-Stainless/dp/B0CMPSFHV8
>>21749386How about something like this then>>21749390>Wait for a restockHow long does that take though?
>>21749478That thing is a piece of shit. Get the zerohero Z5 hand grinder that's going for $35 right now. It's under the brand CUFEJORO on amazon for some reason.
Lance immediately crashing out in the comments on his new video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFQ36cwdTQ8
>>21749760Maybe I should've specified earlier but these are LeafbucksZ5 is not available here and Z3 is...Fucking expensive to say the least
>>21749763>Is espresso dead?What is that retard doing?
>>21749379Thanks. Bit of both, my wife likes cappuccino (learning to do milk art would be cool) I like my espresso neat or with ~1 oz water as a quad long black. Speaking of that, how worried should I be about pulling back to back shots? Some machines are more convenient for that right? Something about water coming up to temp, pumps, idk
>>21749765Amazon.ca doesn't have much it seems. The only manual grinder I see there that isn't overpriced and would be worthwhile is the Timemore S3 for $160. Minus that you're probably better off getting something from a Canadian dealer like Rogue Wave, Cafune, or Eight Ounce. They seem to have various good grinders at fair prices, like a Q-air for $70.
>>21749765leafanon, just buy a Kingrinder P2 from Aliexpress
>>21749378My favorite roaster told me once that it’s really hard to fuck up a Guatemala. So yeah they’re known for being well rounded. I love a good Huehuetenango.
>>21749763Its the ozempic eating his psyche away. Like Ethan Klein.
>>21749787>>21749788>Kingrinder P2 from AliexpressYeah this isn't that far off price wise I guess thanks
>>21749776I think he just doesn't like espresso but that's where the money is so he has had to cope with "tea like espressos" and all the soup bullshit. It seems like he genuinely thinks everyone who drinks espresso has joined that discord server he content farms from and everyone has moved on to soup shots not realizing he has cultivated an echo chamber of only that. The vast majority of espresso drinkers are still drinking traditional espresso. >>21749830Make a new account if you've ordered from ali before so you can get the welcome discount again. Also you want the one on jaffee coffee store iirc
Coffee shops in the US are so wildI love the vibe of this place
>>21749964Sorry, I thought that was the drive-through window
>>21749763>hates espresso>consistently moving espresso closer and closer to filter>push soup(filter coffee from an espresso machine)>constantly talks about how crema sucks and you should remove it>now says cremaless coffee/soup is basically filter and that filter is dead and how we should just give in and drink filterjust say you are on Hario's payroll lil bro.
>>21749763>I think I would be OK with simply over 2ish bar of pressurized water forced through a tamped bed of ground coffee.WOW WHAT A COINCIDENCE, ITS ALMOST AS IF THATS EXACTLY HOW YOU MAKE SOUP(that he invented and is shilling)god i wish some horrific shit comes out about this guy soon.

I want to fill my cup up but my coffee absorbs SO much water, should I just fill it extra to compensate and keep the ratio?
>>21750550what
>>21750550You should dose higher and brew more to account for the loss.
>>21749013Is coffee roasting something that I'm going to spend $300 on a roaster and then just screw it up every time I try or is it pretty straight forward?
>>21750745if you can reliably fry an egg you can reliably roast coffee.its the same principles.
>>21749290I've been using a Mr Coffee electric for at least 15 years. Works great and I just checked and they're still only $20 at Walmart.

The year is 2026. The term "espresso" has been lost to human history. Brewing soup at over 2 bars is banned worldwide. Statues of Gaggia have been pulled down by the masses, and now Lance stands proud in bronze, gazing out over every café. Lady Liberty holds an OXO™ Rapid Brewer.Meanwhile, a man's hand slips on his lever machine, and the foamy horror that results drives him to suicide. His body is put out to sea, where the crushing pressure of the ocean's depths consume him.His family covers their eyes, as his innards form a foul crema upon the surface of the water. Somewhere, Lance laughs.

i'm gonna quit coffee and nicotine, pray for me bros.
>>21751724i'd agree if it weren't for the fact i feel the need to use these stimulants every single day or i feel like shit. that's not normal.

What's up, coffeefags! I'm back. The "get my wife off shitty Monster/Starbucks project was successful. Now I got a decent job again and, Jesus willing, I'll be able to afford bougie shit again. New project. Need a system for her to make her own coffee while I'm working like a cotton slave. Forget what you know about what makes coffee good. I've been feeding her 28g of natural or honey processed beans ground really fine. Pour over hario 275ml 175f water through the cheapest hario filters on Amazon into 225g ice. Mixed with 120ml whole milk and 20g simple syrup made from cane sugar. This doesn't have to be the new product she makes for herself. She started the process of squeezing all the water out of the filter to get ever last drop, so I'm thinking I need to buy an espresso machine since maximum extraction is her obsession. She really really wants the caffeine. Also it's time to get a real grinder. Doing every cup by hand made sense when I was an unemployed bum. I don't have time to do that now and I won't be there. Shelf space in the kitchen is limited. She will totally drink hot coffee, but the cold fits her absent minded lifestyle better. Espresso might be too small volume for her enjoyment, but you back always water it down, right? What do ya got?
>>21752398I hate to say it but just get a superauto at this point.
>>21748882Garbage, all of these.
>>21752398>Jesuswhat's your gardener got to do with this?
>>21752411>Super autoThat's a category I see, not a model. She doesn't want to do it that way. She wants them separate units. Not having automatic digital features that can crap out is more important than shelf space. If it was entirely up to me I'd want a pure analog setup. She is open to the simplicity, but she's worried about durability. Modern touch screen shit breaks. I think we want to go with a separate grinder. She doesn't want fancy milk drinks. She'd be fine with filter coffee, cream and sugar more that it's winter. The cold stuff was more for summer and leaving the house anyway. I'm not sure she'd really notice the difference between espresso and filter coffee from fresh beans with a good grind. I like espresso better, but I'm not going to be home that much so it's not a big deal.>SuperautoAnd fuck you! Now I'm missing Paul Harrell again and I'm sad! >>21752432Sorry, not Jesus, I meant our Lord and Savior Sam Gamgee.
>>21752398Youve already gotten far more help than you deserve.
>>21752550I was wondering when you'd show up. How's the wife and kids?
How's this one?
>>21752398>>21752478Your situation sounds perfect for AeroPress. Cheapest electric grinder that isn't a complete piece of junk would be DF54. If you must get an espresso machine, you'll be happy enough with a bambino. Although, feel free to get a Gaggia and mod it down the line if that's your inclination.
>>21752562I wouldn't trust it.
>>21752558Competent enough to do their own googling and gainfully employed.
>>21752562I would trust it.
Can't get a good cup out of the switch. This thing sucks. My pourover is better.
>>21752629Try pressing the lever.
>>21752568I like what I'm seeing with the df64, but it's only available in white from turin. Do I order the back one from 3rd party or just go with white? I could mask and air brush it if I get sick of looking at it. Jawad says they gots it in stock. I dunno. At least he responded. >banmbino gaggiaYeah we were looking at those. I think the grinder is the bigger deal. Are the titanium burrs easier to clean? Worth the upgrade? It's only $25.>>21752592But not smart enough to understand why I might use this site to vet what google tells me. >Gainfully employedWhat is the going rate for forum sliding these days?
>>21752573>>21752600
>>21752398Why can't your wife grind her own coffee? Genuine question.
>>21752632>Do I order the back one from 3rd partyIt's a white-label product. It's not like you're getting anything special with Turin slapped on. Just make sure you buy from a reputable seller.
>>21752632The last time you tried to use the advice off this site you bought the wrong grinder and got made fun of. Now youre back looking for an espresso setup because your wife wont stop sucking offbrand v60 filters dry.
>>21752642She can, honestly. I've been doing it for months and maybe I want a shot in the morning and grinding out 30g really fine takes a solid 2 minutes. That doesn't seem like a lot, but when you're getting ready for work it's so annoying. Now if I want to quit my soda shop Pepsi (150 calories per can) and maybe do a shot of espresso that's another 2 minutes. Also I know her. As time goes on she'll get sick of hand grinding and put it off and get grumpy from caffeine withdrawal. Then she'll associate grinding with the withdrawal and come to hate doing it. Then she'll put of making her own coffee even longer next time. It will become a feedback loop. You learn these things about a person after 20+years. Also, it's been months. I can justify buying an electric grinder now. It's not like we won't use it.>>21752664>off brandLearn to read better and/or stop making shit up.>got made fun ofNo, you just acted like a little bitch because I didn't do exactly what you said. You're delusional like Eric Cartman. Did you save me from the jewbots next? I ordered the v2 and they sent the v3 and it worked out fine and I paid less than they wanted for the new one. You should seek help, assuming you're just a legit crazy anon and not some mossad troll on punishment detail. >>21752650I just see bad stories about "df64coffee" dot com's bad CS. Kitchen barista looks legit. It's a sad day when the response from an actual indian is preferable over a bot. And since a third party sent me a turin v3 when I ordered a v2 this is a concern then might just send the white one anyway if they are a drop shipper. It looks like they might have physical inventory tho. Allegedly some redditor has been there.
I want to add that it sucks I can't just go buy a quality grinder at this price point from a physical store. I'd pay a little more to have something today. I see this at the posh mall but I'd have to drive a bit to get there. Doesn't look as good. Target has a cheaper one but I don't want to waste money on that.
>>21752698If they send you the wrong item, report the transaction as fraud and move on.
>>21752709this is slop robed in silver-chrome
>>21752698>brown>tabbedYeah you've got it figured out.>since a third party sent me a turinTurin sent you a Turin grinder. Turin is Espressooutlet's white label. They don't make things. You were trying to buy a comandante clone and bought a fake ghost burr grinder instead. Make sure you pay them extra for titanium this time.
>>21752763Yeah, the cheapest Hario filters on Amazon. After using the t90's, the Hario that came with the v60 and the generic ones that came with the chinesium kettle, I found that asking my wife blind she couldn't tell the difference and the t90's gave me the least consistent extraction going by the shape of the grounds. The unbleached generic filters actually worked the most consistent, but the difference was negligible to the end product. As for the grinder, I used the link I got from here and they sent the wrong one. People were interested and I took it apart and tested it. It did exactly what I needed and I like the magnetic catch cup with the screw on bottom and the Hershey's kiss shaped thing. It was great and I had fun. >Make sure you pay then extra for titaniumAllegedly it's easier to clean the oils that you get from the natural and honey processed beans. I will. I'm probably going to just go to target and get the bambino. She might just prefer to go back to filter drip or whatever. Also>>21752568>Aeropress I really tried to like it. I just couldn't get into it. I can see why it's popular, but it just felt awkward and messy when I tried it. Maybe I'll give it another go when the grinder gets here.
This coffee is mid until the last few sips. Must be too hot.
I got my lelit bianca on Friday and have been overcome with an overwhelming dread. Maybe it's a little bit of imposter syndrome that I own something this nice. I cannot escape the feeling that this is gluttonous and unnecessary, and totally horrible on a spiritual level. I was equally satisfied (probably more) with the espresso I was getting out of my flair classic - the manual process was more fun and I did not have the mental burden of the setup's financial cost. It's not that I didn't have the money for this setup, it's comfortably within my means, but the principle of the whole thing is killing me. I'm taking it back tomorrow and I'll get something smaller, maybe a cafelat robot, after the holidays and after I settle down. Anyone else here emotionally autistic?
>>21752885The coffee isn't your problem. You shouldn't feel guilty for having something nice. That being said, if you aren't getting anything out of it and can get your money back do it and think of it no more.
I just realized the niche zero is UK and subject to tariffs. I was holding off on the df64 because the niche seems more durable maybe, but I don't want to fuck with them if they don't have an American distributor.
>>21752898I'm a Christian and admit that the guilt is likely derived from that. It's hard to want to live a modest, simple life, and then walk downstairs every morning to a literally blindingly shiny machine on the counter. It's a wonderful product, truly a piece of art, but getting this deep into a hobby really backs me into an existential corner and I have to get out. I've felt similar things about audio equipment.
any recommendations for a stovetop gooseneck kettle?
>>21752478/ctg/ and /hg/ are best buddies
>>21752885>equally satisfied (probably more) with the espresso I was getting out of my flair classic Just get a flair58. My first batch unit has been flawless for like 4ish years now? Also moved up from a flair signature I used for years.The only thing I'd replace it with would be a Decent at this point and I really don't n e e d it like you don't need the bianca.>>21752865>least consistent extraction going by the shape of the grounds
I think I'm gonna start going with blends for my espresso. I've chased the single-origin dragon for long enough
After studying the bambino and bambino plus, I got to wonder if it's worth $150 for the 3 way solenoid. I'm thinking not. Either I'll stop using it or replace it with something much better with 58mm or whatever. But now I'm wondering if I should forget espresso (for now at least) and just buy a quality drip filter machine.>>21752997Word. I'm putting off buying that Ruger for this. Until I get EDC earpro sorted I'm not carrying magnums in a vehicle anyway. >>21752998If this isn't clear, I mean the grounds in the filter after extraction. There's evidence of bypass with the t90s. The grounds in the cheaper filters settled more evenly. It's not a big difference.I don't know why your would greentext this without response unless you didn't understand what I meant.
>>21752941stagg sells a stovetop kettle.
>>21753060will check it out, thanks
>>21752885>>21752936What grinder you running?
>>21753055>worth (any amount)for the 3 way solenoidit's not
>>21753060I like the stovetop Bueno better.
I'm thinking this now. This will be enough for her for one day. I can fine tune the temperature. I was looking at the mocha master but it's fixed at 195f and that might actually be too hot for her. It's has the removable tank. I do hear that it's hard to clean and you know that hoffmene doesn't use his enough to care. This and the df64 v2 I'm thinking.
>>21753278If she's mostly drinking iced coffee, just make cold-brew from preground. EZ
>>21753283She misses hot drip filter coffee It does occur to me I don't need an espresso grinder if I go this route. This guy in the breville video is turning me off to his product. I should have started researching this sooner. Bad time to be shopping if you don't know what you want.
>>21753310Send her to McDonald's.
just had my cup of ECCO (tm)
>>21753349She's developed a strong positive association with the taste of natural or honey processed coffee. Pic related is available nearby and scratches the itch. I went with all 3. The df64 v2 from miicoffee because they had it in black, the technivorm mocha master 10 cup thermal from crate and barrel because it was marked down to $241, and the bambino from Macy's because it was marked down and I had points on that card and I don't shop there very much. I figured that either I'll get into espresso and replace the bambino with a 58mm larger machine or I will use it a few times and decide I don't like it and in either case I got a couple people who spend too much on barista coffee I can give it to. And the important thing is, my wife can one button brew a pot just like before when she was using a KitchenAid and community coffee grounds. She broke the canned monster/starbucks addiction and the last time she bought one when she was out she said it tasted like shit and couldn't finish it. See you wonderful fucking people in a week or two when I'm trying to figure things out. (Most likely just the bambino. The others seem piss easy to operate. That was the point.)
>>21749765>>21749830How's it like importing ebay US goods into Canada? The Espresso Outlet ebay page has a battery powered zerohero grinder for $20 which will be a significant step up from the Kingrinder P series in both build quality and user experience. Probably very similar in grind quality to the P2 since they both have that c40 style burr design.
Just ordered Gooseneck kettle and some Hario v60 dripper, I need to buy Timemore again because it's the cheapest electric kettle with temp control.
>>21753764Any shipment valued at under $40 cad coming from the US should be covered by deminimis covering both duty and taxes. It should be fairly simple if you don't need to mess around with those (there shouldn't be duty on that regardless) and the retaliatory tariffs should not apply on 8509.40 as of September 1st and would have only applied if it was made in the states. It should be easy but will be a shit show to import.
>>21753764Its ebay. They calculate all that on the page and it tells you what it will be.
had 2thinking about a 3rd...
Out of desperation, I ordered from Starbucks.My cortado had a whole, unground bean just floating around in it.
>>21748882Well, they got the package today, hope they like it.
>>21754668Oh yeah, forgot to mention I kept the Jamaican Blue Mountain for myself since I heard it was good. Swapped in something else.
>>21754647>My cortado had a whole, unground bean just floating around in it.that means the barista wants to fuck you.
>>21754668Who the hell is Kate?
>>21754915Probably someone's imaginary girlfriend.
>>21754920More likely someone's artsy-fartsy daughter.
>>21754671Grim.
>>21754915>Kenyan>Acetate>Tonic>Extractiontourist.
>>21754934Why? Is Jamaican Blue Mountain considered bad?
>>21754947It and Hawaiian Kona are the quintessential boomereque 2nd wave coffees. Considered good in a time where all coffee was stale preground trash and "coffee people" bragged about how dark and strong they love their coffee and how they always use a (blade) grinder to grind their "fresh" (two+ year old) whole bean Kona or JBM. Its now kept alive by said boomers and gullible Gen X and Millennials who don't know any better. It has none of the hallmarks of good or even decent coffee. Like Italians it once dominated the scene but they refused to adapt to the changing market.
>>21754961It was $100/pound lol. Glad I had a gift certificate, I guess.
>>21754995Grim.
>>21755022Well, at least I didn't spend my own money, I guess.
>>21754947its not badits just overpricedim sure the normies you are gifting it to will love itits basically peak normie coffee.
Torke has a big sale on their site right now and I'm tempted to try itWhat are your thoughts, bitches

This thread sucks ass you guys aren't responsive enough fuck all of you
what other servers with this bump exist?
>>21755591cyclone looks decent.
>>21755591>this bumpwhat does it do?
>>21755578bye :)
>>21756034If I had to guess, it's so that when you swirl the coffee inside, it doesn't vortex downwards but rather mixes "properly"
>>21756126this is why I swirl in both directions
I bought a bunch of levazza coffee and horse power(?) from Amazon since there was a massive saleNever tried em before, hopefully they're good.
>>21756256no saka?
>>21756256>>21756271$25 dollars, seemed like a great deal, if I don't like them I can just give them to a family member. Those were the only two brands available for the promotion.
>>21756280Ordered the Barista Express Impress for Cyber Monday. How did I do lads?
coffee you are my only hope do you guys take caffeine pills sometimes?
>>21756437i have some on standby
hi. does anyone have any good recs for a really cheap coffee grinder? i'd like it to be manual and it should have a steel burr. i only drink moka pot coffee. i am not willing to spend more than 20 usd. i saw some sketchy ones on aliexpress going for 10, but i don't trust them.
>>21756478fuck off retard
>>21756478you're not going to find anything that isn't a ceramic burr chinkshit for $20
>>21754920fucking lol holy jesus AI is worse than useless
>>21756437I don't do drugs.
>>21756034I fixed my coffee by dropping the temp who would have guessed
I know I'm a retard, but my basket keeps overflowing at 17g, I use the normal double-shot basket of the Bambino, pretty sure I grind thin enough, how do I fix that?
Coffee drinkers sure are retarded, you guys don't even know how to grind your beans lol.#teagang
>>21756478Kingrinder P0.
>>21756747And the bump helped with this? Or the bump was not needed?
>>21756792Use less. 17g isn't appropriate for every double-basket and every coffee.
>>21749290just buy porlex
How do I measure the output of my handgrinder in grams? Should I buy one of those druggie micro-scales?
>if only there was some sort of device that could tell me how much something weighed...
>>21756960This is one of the dumbest posts I've ever read.
>>21757003christmas is a special time in /ctg/
I'd like some recommendations for coffee subs in canada. I've tried a bunch and found coast to coast coffee was the cheapest (?) but lacked flavour. pilot is pretty good but keeps getting more expensive and i fucking hate walking into their coffee stores. I've tried all kinds of roasts and thankfully my favourite flavour is like a light medium roast with fermented fruit or whatever so any fresh medium roast is palatable to me. in fact as long as the beans are fresh I'm fine with the coffee. I'd like to hear other anons' experiences with coffee subs and check them out.>>21752698it sounds like you have a passion for coffee but your wife just enjoys the drink casually. you should look into an easier method for your wife to make coffee. I just give mine a hand grinder and let her use it for about a minute to get a coarse grind and then slam that into a moka pot. add milk any which way afterwards- cold with ice for an iced coffee kind of drink, or heated for a warm 'drip' coffee type of drink. syrup to taste obviously, but she can always just scoop in some sugar into the hot espresso if she's lazy. otherwise i just make a bunch of cold brew for her. basically the process should be so easy you could do it while drunk out of your gourd and have just been injected with a shitload of horse tranquilizer at the same time. i could be reading your post wrong but if you think she's going to get bored then you should simplify the process. also the brown filters have a bit of a nasty taste associated with them, you want the white ones.
>>21756960>measure the output of my handgrinderuhh... why?
>>21756960huh grinder? what are ya gay?
>>21757048>coarse grind and then slam that into a moka poteww
>tfw my most tastiest shots have been turbo shots 1:2.67 in 10 seconds but they're less consistent than more traditional shots 1:2 in ~20 seconds which on average taste better this shit's starting to annoy me tbhfam
>>21757102high riskhigh reward
>>21755591April Glass ServerLilydripAROMA SEEKER Server
>>21757102Welcome to turbos. Buy some bottom papers and let them rip.
>>21757124i have a robot so i use a paper filter on top under the screen
>>21757130That keeps your screen clean. Bottom papers actually affect the output.
>>21757177i tried a bottom screen a couple times a year or two ago and it was kind of a hassle and a painthe top screen definitely affects the output, preinfusion and full pressure flow rates are much faster with no top paper for the same grind size
I can't tell the difference between bitter and sour
>>21756941I didn't mean to quote that
>>21758111Yes you can
>>21758111you absolutely can, you just (somehow) don't know what taste to associate with the words "bitter" and "sour"
>>21758131>>21758134When I have black coffee from mcdonalds it's bitterwhen I grind too course my coffee is sourI can't tel the difference in my coffee. it's not bitter or sour, or both.
>>21758142I didn't ask for your life story, attention whoring frog poster. You can tell the difference just fine. Stop acting retarded.
>>21756960>>21757082a scale
>>21758180Pronounced "ska-lay" btw. You don't want to look like an idiot when you ask for one.
>>21758185>>21758185You don't even need one anyway. I made pourover without a scale for years and my coffee was fine.
>>21758111Have you only been eating goyfeed and goyslurp your whole life?>>21758142Maybe you're just using shit beans?
I just made my first cup of V60, and it was really great. Though I use the wrong size dripper, I use 01 paper filter and server, but I got 02 dripper. Should I buy a new dripper or just roll with it?
>>21758222Just keep what you have and buy 02 filters when you run out.
>>21758222if you're only making 1 cup just keep using the 01 filters in the 02 dripper, no reason to waste paper
>>21746727Coffee with cake?
>>21758618perhaps...
longer shots = more gooder
newfriend here, i was gifted a sampler box of bacha coffee from an aunt who recently went to paris. how reputable is the brand?
>>21758641>bachanever heard of it in my lifebut they look like they focus more on brand image than they do on bean quality.probably wont taste bad if ground and brewed properly though.cute waifu, whats her name?
>>21758652arigathanks for the inteli've been brewing it with my gooseneck kettle and i've been enjoying it so far, but it could be because i'm still a newbie and tgus have little experience with good quality shit. also, to answer your question, she's nero from the fate series
>>21758658>fate series...you can keep her>i've been brewing it with my gooseneck kettleyou mean with a cone and paper filter?do you use a grinder or did it come pre-ground?
>>21758679they come preground in these paper filters with latches that you're supposed to attach onto the top of a cupi'm planning on saving up for a good quality grinder and a v60 soon
>>21758618coffee doesn't work with sweets (unless you perhaps add sugar) imo
>>21758699genuinely insane response
>>21758694oh thoseive used them before usually give a decent cup for what it is.
>>21758701sweets strip all the fruit and sweetness out of coffee and leave it tasting pretty characterless
>>21758701it has to be bait right?
>>21748045Disregard both, get Yunnan beans for flavors of chocolate covered raisins and blue bubble gum
anons here is a genuine question: what the fuck do they mean by "sweet" when tasting coffee? fuck i have never tasted this "sweet" profile in any coffee that i make or buy. i can taste acidity and bitterness just fine. help
>>21758740when you drink good coffee ground correctly using a good grinder and brewed correctly it can taste sweet(subtle not overt) when drunk black.just as it can taste like apples or cherry or like oranges or smoky ect and the less sugar you have in the rest of your diet the easier it will be to pick up on these notes
>calibrate the Baratza Encore>set it to the finest possible grind>17g in>60g outit's over, I give up on coffee
>>21758759retard
>>21758762I know
>>21758763sorry :(
>>21758759alchemists hate him! watch as he creates something from nothing!
Cookie or sandwich?
>>21746730Thank you for your service ('-')7
>>21758792>('-')7never seen that beforedid you make it or steal itregardless, very creative :)
>>21758791whats the difference?
>alchemists when the exchange isnt equal
>>21758803I stole it, though emoticons such as that are seldom used anymore. I like to think of it as breathing new life into a forgotten language
>>21758788I mean the resulting espresso is 60g, after running it.
>>21758759>>17g in>>60g outif it tastes good there is nothing wrong with iti did a 16g-60g today and it tasted great
Any opinions on the Eureka Mignon Libra and the Rancilio Stile? They're roughly the same price here.
>>21758893both are equally midget a DF64 for like half the price or a DF83 for a similar price.unless you NEED grind by weight then go with the libra.
>>21758906I just don't want to manually weight my coffee every morning, just put the portafilter in the grinder and get a somewhat consistent result every time.
coffee timemy pour over flow control sucksi see some japs use a glove or towel to use their other hand to steady the front/bottom so maybe i should try that, but that kinda feels like cope. and i should just try and fail until i get bettertasty coffee tho :)
>>21758943ok :)and by mid i mean mid in the category of machines that are not outright bad.
>>21758943Get a zf64w then.
>>21758948Gotcha, thanks!>>21759054It's almost twice the price of the other ones I mentionned in my area.
>>21759069Well worth it.
>>21759101>hey guys I'm looking at a K6 or 1Z>just by an EK43 its well worth it
The horrors my wife makes me buy (and brew)
I just got a grinder, scale, and whole beans for the first time.I don’t understand. Is it really 10 grams of coffee per “coffee cup” (6 fl oz) or is it 10 grams for an actual cup measurement (8 fl oz)? Either way I tried filling up my Mr Coffee with the former and it was overflowing with grounds. Am I REALLY supposed to use so much grounds for each cup? It seems shocking because this is the amount of coffee I used to use when brewing a full carafe.
>>21758618cheese with coffee
>>21759255nobody in here has any idea what you are talking about please give the context and information required to help youwe are not in your walls, we dont know you.from what i can see for a "mr coffee"(are there multiple sizes idk)>The most precise method is to use a ratio of 1 gram of coffee for every 16 grams of waterso idk you do the math on that one.i dont use a "mr coffee" i just brew with a v60 and i use between 15 and 20g of ground coffee for 300ml of coffee yield in my cup.also your use of imperial and metric makes my head hurtchoose 1 and stick to it.i recommend using metric, grams to be precise as everything you will ever use in relation to coffee will be in gramsand 1g of coffee = 1ml of coffee so no need to use ml when talking about the liquid coffee(but you can if you like or if you really think it is relevant, such as the size of a cup eg, "300ml cup")
>>21759255I use 30g for 400ml in the cup. Convert that to American.
>>21759329Coffee infused/flavoured/crusted items cannot be enjoyed with coffee.
>>21759396wrong.
>>21759417nuh uh
>>21759152Mignon libras are $800. Stiles are about $750. Zf64ws are about $800. One of them is a good grinder. Guy didnt mention that he was able to get shitty italian grinders for half off.
>>21759474his dad works for Eureka
Getting some pretty good results with 50/50 percolation/immersion on the switch, but I'm curious if there are any full immersion recipes that compare?
>>21759491You can ship libras to the states for 500eur but its a grey market product and you don't get a warranty from dodging the US distributor.
How bad of an idea is this portable nespresso machine?The battery has enough juice to heat water for 5 shots.All the reviews I've seen says it does ok with capsules but adding your own grounds is hit or miss, it's also $20.
>>21759537Apparently those are getting decent. Probably not the $20 ones though. I believe people really like the new cera+ PCM03S-MAX but it looks like they're aliexpress only for now.
>>21759504>curious if there are any full immersion recipes that compareWhatever recipe you're doing, just immerse the percolation phases as well.
>>21759681no changes to timing or anything?
>>21759689One variable at a time. Taste and note the difference after each change.
I should try a coffee colonic/enema
>>21759759also would hot or cold be better
i want to shit my brains out
I can't stop making espresso tonics.
>>21759845can i use this as a colonic
>>21756478If you're a burger then these two are the cheapest you'll get.>>21749760>>21753764
i didn't have coffee today and felt like shit the entire daythoughts?
Try drinking decaf
>>21758111put some baking soda in waterput white vinegar in watertaste and compare

I love buying local beans
i only drink coffee when i smoke
>>21760763big Danny Brown fan i see.
>>21760765Maybe 15 years ago.
I've found three coffee shops now that literally ape the aesthetic of single origin stores while selling repackaged blends for exorbitant prices - no roast dates, no sourcing, just misleading tasting notes to make it seem like they're single origin. One place literally sells repackaged Cafe Vita stuff for 55 buckaroos. I don't know if I should be disgusted at the exploitation or disgusted at how the gouging seems to be working
>>21761317time is a flat circle
>>21760721made another one:)
I'm not gonna do it. Too busy making coffee.
fine ill have my butler do it after he finishes making my coffee.
new thread when?
