Just like that pic, I have a 350ml le creuset french press (as you can see, it has a chip that needs repairing around the spout) that makes a single cup of coffee.

it is thank you. i worked a retail job where we had a lax smoke and coffee break policy so basicly everybody in the early shift got a 10 min get together for smokes and coffee, i pulled coffee duty for a long time so i have experimented with just about everything and ima be honest, this beautiful mashine works best for me. It set me back around 60€ and is worth it, its the right amount of hassle but not too much, its the perfect amount of babysitting before id get bothered or worked up and the consistent performence is something i greatly appreciate. A funnel requires me to fuck with it on a level that i dont fuck with it like that if you know what im saying. I despise tools that take more than im willing to give and basicly i aint enjoying the product neither. I had 2 of those things where you fill the water, stuff the coffee roast etc and honestly the fucking mess those things leave are not worth the 30% maybe 40% taste increase,coffee is a slampig item to me, i like it but in a particular kinda way and only that way. Put it like this, if i want a fast cheap meal ima get mcdonalds (or used to) but if mcdonalds starts charging real food/real restaurant prices the whole point of it becomes obsolete so the incentive of consumption is gone because the profitability in my life vanishes, same for the coffee mashine, i had 2 mashines, and 2 variants of the steel stove thingies and boy oh boy the pads stuff just reigns supreme for me

Why isn't this as good as the $5 stuff? What do I have to do? I'm hoping it's just the beans. Or the grind. But it's NOT like a coffeeshop latte at all and I don't want to hear that I need a $2,000 machine to get proper espresso at home, because I had a Krups in the 90s that wasn't half as complicated or expensive as this thing and it tasted spot on. Maybe it's because it's decaffeinated. Maybe I just need 4 shots in every drink.

did your mum have the shits also?
>>
>>21779788
Nope. She can drink it perfectly fine and I'm jealous that she doesn't get the shits like what I do.
When I run out of coffee I might try it again but instead go for the Nescafe smooth. If that gives me the shits (like what >>21768161 did) then I'll just stick with my cheap shite instant coffee.
Also what I like about instant coffee is that I'll pretty much drink anything.
>>
>>21779791
Also forgot to add that she didn't finish the whole jar in one day. She just had it whenever she was in the mood for espresso and she was smart enough to limit herself to one cup.

I used to do cold brew and use those shitty instant packets, but I got an automatic machine and use that now.

>>21779791
Maybe it's gut training and at the beginning she had the shits but don't anymore. You could try one week of training and see how your gut improves by day seven.
Coffee is a powerful poop regulator for me.

Would you believe me if I told you that her stomach is just built differently? Like, she has problems trying to go (ie: shit) but things that would MAKE you shit doesn't work for her. That's why she can take things like espresso no problem whereas for me it affects me hours later.
>You could try one week of training and see how your gut improves by day seven.
I'll keep that in mind but I'll need to finish my coffee jars first. Right now I have a:

>Nescafe original (small jar).
>Nescafe Gold blend (big jar).
>Instant coffee graniuals (apologises if spelled incorrectly) that I purchased out of uSave.
>Amazon Gold instant coffee (which I finished).
>Tesco's jacks freeze dried coffee (small jar and I poured both of them into my amazon instant coffee jar when I finished it).
>Kenco rich (gave to my mum because her six jar's of kenco smooth ran out and she's 1 jar left).

And before I started using a wee teaspoon I use to use a slightly larger teaspoon when putting my coffee into a mug. And also a reason why I have too much coffee (despite there being coffee in the house) is because I love trying new ones out and I know I'd never get to try them since my mum (and nephew who lives with us) only drink a certain brand (use to be Lor but it became too expensive so they switched to Kenco).
>>
>>21779853
She must've got a reverse iron gut then. Trying new coffees is always fun. Of the ones you have right now, which is your favorite?

I tend to poop about thirty minutes after drinking espresso, but only after the first one of the day.
>>
>>21777777
What flavour is your keurig?

>>21779888

>>21779888
>Trying new coffees is always fun.
Agreed. It also pisses me mum off sometimes because whenever I'm out the first thing I like to go to is the coffee section. If I buy anymore coffee that I need she goes daft at me because I already have enough as it is. That's why I usually only buy it if I'm using my own bank card (when I'm buying food its her card I use).

I love coffee but I sadly only drink the instant kind. Easier to prepare and I enjoy it more than I do tea.


>Of the ones you have right now, which is your favorite?
That's a tricky question as like I've mentioned earlier I'll pretty much drink any kind of coffee as long as its tastes good. But if I had to rank I'd go:

>Tesco's jacks freeze dried coffee.
>Amazon Gold instant coffee.
>Nescafe original
>Kenco rich
>Instant coffee graniuals (I don't know if its just me but the smell it emits is ginger which I like the smell of)
>Nescafe Gold blend

I don't have them now (because I finished them months ago) but I also like co-op's fairtrade instant coffee (gold blend) and I also like Tesco's own gold blend (it's a really long jar). I'd probably rate those two above Nescafe Original and I'd also put the Kenco smooth above it as well. But whenever I try kenco I either fuck it up when preparing it or it makes me pee like a horse.

I've also wanted to try decaf coffee but I'm smart enough not to get it yet. I'm only going to consider it if I'm unable to drink coffee (ie: bad for my health or if it makes me constantly shit)

If I remember correctly (it was so long ago) I think it was like, a couple of hours that I had to shit after drinking espresso. Like, I think I had it 11am and then it was around maybe 4 to 5pm that I had to run to the loo. If I didn't make it in time I would have shit myself.

Sometimes coffee does it as well but not as much when I drink espresso. The only slight warning I get if I know coffee is going to make me go to the loo is if my stomach feels funny.
>>
>>21779900
I don't use one.
>>
>>21768090
I use a french press in the morning and sometimes a cheap delonghi espresso machine after lunch. I hand grind with a kingrinder P2, it's kind of annoying sometimes but it does make some quick decent coffee and the whole setup was pretty cheap

>>21768123
those are so cool I need one

>>21777359
I've tried it in a restaurant and it was super good without needing creamer or sugar, but it takes sooooooo long to prepare a cup, like easily 15min
also forget about serving to more then one person
>>
>>21779926
Forgot to add: I've also tried the gold version of Dowe Eggberts coffee and while I did enjoy the taste, it went right through me.
>>
>>21779926
But instant doesn't go bad so it's not like you won't drink it later.

>11am and then it was around maybe 4 to 5pm that I had to run to the loo
It probably isnt related, or the delay seems really long.

Do you drink coffee on an empty stomach?
>>
>>21780129
That's true.

I honestly don't know what it is but if it happens again then I'll know its possibly a long-delay like you mentioned earlier.

>Do you drink coffee on an empty stomach?
Only sometimes and only when its my mum that's making coffee (as I don't normally eat breakfast although I do snack). I use to drink 2 cups of coffee a day (one when I wake up and one after dinner) but now I just drink it after I've had my dinner.

The Final Press or Aeropress?

>>21780139
Start by getting some freshly roasted beans (competent roasters will have a roast date) and grinding them fresh before brewing them in your coffee maker. If you enjoy that, first upgrade to a nicer grinder, then get a better brewer.
There are many different ways to brew good coffee,
>immersion (steeping)

>espresso machine
