How do I cope with the fact that I got my K6 grinder late and I'll forever be a straight-handlecel?
Coffee? It's good for me
I'm on my last bag, the lychee co-ferment from hydrangea. Excited for the new beans coming in.
Anyone know where I can get this glass or something similar?

delicious
>>21828129God why is glass so expensive? Shouldn’t we be able to mass produce this for cheap in the big 2026?
after one month of no coffee or caffeine, i broke my fast today with a cup from a delonghi super automatic (1 teaspoon of sugar)

>>21828035I wanted to share my coffee thoughts and posts... Damn.I'll wait for the next one without anime garbage and weeb incels shitting it up.
>>21828283:)
>>21828293Cry about it
I’ve had a stunning realization that has shaken my world. I’m a virulent racist and I love coffee. After much reflection on the matter, I’ve come to face the undeniable truth that in the processing of my coffee likely dozens of shitskin hands have touched my beans. Is there anyway to wash my coffee beans to ensure that there is no longer any shitskin skin cells on them while also not stripping the coffee of its flavor/oils/aroma?Need advice.
I ordered some nice new beans and the coffee is tasty but I can't tell the difference between them. If there was something wrong with the brews that demanded a change in parameters that would be one thing, but idk what to do to distinguish them.
>>21828495Nobody can taste any difference between any of the brand. Everyone he is paring“ohhhh I taste custard and brulee’d mango”No they don’t. They’re pseuds. Don’t fall for the meme anon.
Qrd what do I buy for an espresso machine on a $500 budget? I already have a Baratza Encore ESP grinder. A bambino? I previously had like a $130 Amazon espresso machine and realized I was never properly making espresso for like 4 years. Also I drink like 12 shots a day is that too much
>>21828482noyou must simply cope>>21828495cup them>>21828503skill issue
>>21828482I too was met with this same dilemma, however I soon realized that none of the subhuman cells or diseases would be able to survive the Aryan north in which I reside. As a bonus: coffee is one of the most dehumanizing industries for thirdies, so by continuing to support the industry I am further oppressing them.
>>21828559its only really dehumanizing on big estate farms in, say, brazil and vietnammost specialty producers take great pride in their workso youre only oppressing anyone if you buy commodity garbage
>>21828293Womp womp, cry more crakkker.

What are your favourite : coffee's, roasters, farms, cafes?I'm a fan of sey, manly, basking, and cospir for roasterscafe-wise: the hub is pretty charming if you can go to one of their locations as is renshiro and trip coffee.farms: alo and finca sophia are fantastictop coffee: lemonsilk-dak, panama gesha-sey, el salvador-manly
I'm trying to cut down on soda. What are some coffee-based drinks I could mix that have high acidity? Citrus seems a poor fit for coffee.
>>21828818For me?It’s gotta be the McCafé.
>>21828827try nitro cold brew
>>21828795Should have mentioned, I’m in a country that uses superior 240v power, so these shitty 120v models won’t work
Pour-over. Ive read the guides ... hario v60, scale with timer and ratios ... Regardless of heat,measurement, or method, coffee comes out either too weak or too bitter. Many different grind sizes and blends, different water ... is a pour-over just not the task if I want that deep smoky roasted flavor from a cafe? Will i be doomed to chasing espresso machines? Even starbucks produces a good toasty black cup. Help me /ck/

>>21828846>pour-over just not the task if I want that deep smoky roasted flavor from a cafe? Will i be doomed to chasing espresso machines?Yeah, you're seeking espresso. Get a flair or robot and forget about pourover.

>>21828846your immersion brew lil bro?or buy robusta and do osmotic flow like the japs do.dont forget your sibarist filters.
>>21828861Are there any anime themed ones? I only use anime themed appliances.
>>21828865no
>>21828849>Hydrangeaassuming you mean this one"Gesha-Wave Washed-Finca Soledad "oh I didn't know this roaster, thanks for the rec!I agree on Pepe, he's a really interesting fellow doing some great work!
>>21828864i live in jp and most of the roasts i get are quite dark, but i havent looked into osmotic. Is the only difference pouring steadily into the middle instead of the 50ml pulses throughout with waiting? I cant imagine it having that huge of an effect but im not a physicist
>>21828886Where in japan? I was just there and have some freinds living there or who work with cafes and roasters. I've got some great recs for places if you need beans or help. They also are mainly lighter roast pourover places (Kalita or Hario/v60)
The Yemeni people have been hiding mufawar coffee from you. Today as a 27 year old white boy, I learned that cardamom is king.
>>21828895Aomori prefecture. I get a lot if my stuff from kaldee since they usually have a good bean selection and are close by. I think im running into more of a process/technique problem than a resources problem tho
>>21828886>Is the only difference pouring steadily into the middlehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7PiHWuPbTIno, you also have to grind much coarser.
>>21828908oh wow, that's been on my list to visit, quite enjoy the north.I'd agree try tweaking grind size and temp in that order first. I enjoy brighter and really had to go finer than I thought to make it shine. If you're already using dark coffee, osmotic isn't bad. I use a switch and appreciate the immersion aspect which can make it easier overall to get right
So uuuhI have a filter coffee machineWhat the heck is the ratio of cup to coffee grounds and how finely ground should they be
>>21828946>ratio of cup to coffee groundsthere probably is something written in the manual saying it, if not you can just do a brew without coffee and measuring how much water it comes out and work with that>how finely ground should they bego by taste
I can't wait to make flat whites tomorrow :)
>>21828996>whites
Do you brew with flat bottom drippers differently from cone drippers?
since this was a problem some people faced in the last thread and in this one, ill say:if you are not telling the difference between two coffee beans that are from wildly different regions/process, it's probably that your water is too hard and/or has too much bicarbonatetry getting water (bottled or making your own) with hardness below 80ppm and bicarbonate between 30-50ppm, if bicarbonate is below that it will probably be too sour, this will 90% of the cases solve the problemboth cups might taste like shit, but tasting equal is a water problem most of the time
>>21828818>favorite : coffee is, roasters, farms
>>21828861>UK plugI need an Australian plug. The irony is that this shit is all made in China and we use the same power and plug as them, but I can’t seem to find any.
r/IndiaCoffee is a weird place, is it just me or does this bag have too much information? I feel like they're trying too hard
>>21829102The mere thought of drinking coffee that has been handled by some pajeet’s poo-covered hands is truly revolting on an instinctual level.
>>21829111Like kopi luwak but on a societal scale
>>21829102they are trying too hard, but i like the roast profile thingthe jarring thing is that they say all this shit but there's no information on the farmalso separating aroma notes from sensory notes is fucking retarded
>>21829102I've seen the same shit on Australian roaster sites.

Never ordered from S&W before, give me some recommendations. I'm looking to buy three coffees from them
>>21824487Don’t get caught up in the claritymaxxing meme. You made the right choice with the K-ultra at a great price. It’s the best overall general purpose hand grinder out there, maybe sans the M01 now but that’s debatable. At least in burgerland, I've never seen a K-ultra go lower than the $207 amazon holiday sale price. It’s worth the price premium over the K6. Better build quality, better ergonomics (straight handles fucking suck), better burr quality, burr stability and alignment (Izpresso is one of the only companies that secures the ring burr with grub screws so you can manually adjust the alignment to get it super good), magnetic catch cup so you’re not brushing grinds out of screw threads all the time. It’s a staple grinder that you keep for everyday general usage and maybe complement with a more specialized “high clarity” grinder like the ZP6 for those occasions that you are looking to brew really lightly roasted washed beans. >>21825683>>21825924The ode sucks. Its basically a flat burr encore in that it has zero burr stability. I always laugh when people try to align these pieces of shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5jeyF1u01k
>>21828066Buy a curved handled K1 on Aliexpress and swap it out. You now also have another grinder.
>>21828519sell the grinder and save until you can afford a delonghi with an LCD screen and milk carafe frother.
Today I bought washed Peruvian bourbon:)
someone shilled me on james hoffman's french press method and I've been drinking mostly french press lately and pourover no longer tastes good to me, what's going on
After using my Bambino for about a month now, I already want to upgrade into high tech gear. An automatic grinder would be nice as well.
>>21829478Should have bought a GCP instead and tinkered it into a Gaggiuino
I think I've ruined coffee for myself by buying $30 bags at a roastery. I drank some keurig coffee at the vet the other day and it just tasted like hot sugar water.
Damn I thought I was going to buy some Weber ULFs this year but now SSP has 80Brews.
>>21829546Happens to everyone who goes down this rabbit hole.
I require beans. What are some decent beans I can get from Amazon? I've been using Lavazza medium roast, they're ok, a bit on the shit side maybe,>>21828035 but I would like a change.
>>21829546>30buxyou're buying 3lb bags right??
>>21829986Covfefe is entering its craft beer phase. Put a whacky holographic picture on the label and promise the consumer flavors of their favorite childhood candy and cereal and you’ll be making money over fist selling it for $30+/200g bag (or 4can pack of tall boys)
>>21829986buyin that primo lavazza
>>21829382Thanks friend. The k-ultra will deliver in a day or two, very much looking forward to it because I’ve been using a shitty Chinese plastic grinder I got for free for the past decade.
>>21829036yes
>>21829042wouldnt better advice be to buy distilled water first and use that and if you notice a difference then go on to make your own water.
>>21829082ok buy that product and a plug adapter?
>>21829150>>21829102as an australian this made me laugh because this is (except the roast profile and wet aroma ) usually the information that is displayedGRANTED not literally on the bag, usually on the website, but it looks like they took a screenshot of the web page and stuck it on the bag.on the website i want as much information as possible. on the bag i want similar stuff but more succinct/ split between the front and back of the bag. OR a plain bag and a separate card with this information.also there are way too many "notes" on that bag.wet + dry + characteristics + sensory? that feels like filler.
>>21829546>sugar...?
>>21830245Distilled doesn't make good coffee.
>>21830285better than too hard no?
>>21829912bump
>>21830245>>21830292why would you buy distilled water instead of soft bottled water of a known appropriate minerality and ph
At what price point do you stop paying for the coffee’s quality and instead start paying for the pseudo-intellectual pretentious dick waving?
does anyone actually enjoy the 'soup' stuff? seems a bit memeyman though, I want to talk to producers about the science behind their harvests and weather effects on profiles
>>21830391I feel like coffee is filled with a lot of pretentiousness where everyone has to pretend to like whatever the latest soytuber Redditor told them to like less they want to be viewed as being behind the curve.
>>21830379don't think it's that deepthere's only so much of the coffee, customers with lots of disposable income will compete to drink it, so the price is high. if you check the other beans, they sell out, they're gonna sell outthe increase in quality from nonspecialty to something like counter culture is probably less than the jump from counter culture to that, but it doesn't really matter
>>21830391A lot of people hate espresso but don't want to be lumped in with the poorover crowd so soup was born.
>>21830399really? espresso's actually growing more that specialty in terms of consumption
>>21830352>why would you buy distilled waterbecause its sold everywhere?and i have never personally seen the other thing you said for sale anywhere.im not saying it isnt i just haven't personally seen it.
>>21830398There’s an argument to be made that all gourmet consumables have a similar pricing makeup, where the cost is a derivative of its rarity, the effort needed to produce it and “the brand” but I feel like higher end coffee heavily skews toward the last category more so than the former.
>>21830434>i have never personally seen the other thing you said for sale anywhereyeah you have, it's every other brand of water, just look it up. I saw some indian dude say he used dasani or some shit because it was bottled with such and such ppm and alkalinitydistilled water is probably fucked worse than hard unless you try t least a little bit to remineralize it
>>21830443every bottle water is listed as spring water and doesnt tell you whats in it.unless you buy distilled water which doesnt have anything in it.i searched for "soft bottled water" and only got back bottled "spring water" and flavored sparkling water.maybe its different where you live. but for me "soft bottled water" that tells you its exact makeup is not common at all.>dasani no idea what that is
>>21830434it's not everywhere. japan for some reason really doesn't have it
>>21830523You can get distilled here in Yamato. Go to the drug store and look for 精製But yeah not sold at convenience store or supermarket most drinking stuff is mineral.
>>21830538精製水*Also when I visited Okinawa I saw they sell it in vending machines and convenience stores as やさしい軽水 under the brand bonaqua
>>21828035Just bought a coffee machine. Didn't want something too expensive since the whole point was to finally move away from instant coffee while still getting my quick fix (instant always seems to put me to sleep in the afternoon). No idea what beans are good or shit, but I guess with this first bag I got I'll just have to play with grind size.
sigh
>>21830258Most of the things that are just listed once also seem pretty normal to me, apart from roast profile which I would probably place on a website. My usual go to places dont tell anything about the roast profile at all, but you already know what you're getting so it doesnt bother meWhat got me was mainly the notes insanity, where I buy coffee They usually just list three notes at most>>21830379I bought some $550/100g beans recently and they were really good, but I think when you get to those price ranges you start getting diminishing returns. Its not the same jump in quality as going from your average super market bean to a "good" specialty one
>>21830714meant $55 not $550
>>21828035Best spices for coffee grounds?
>>21830714> I think when you get to those price ranges you start getting diminishing returnsEntirely honestly I’m not even sure if the hyper expensive coffee is objectively “better” than the already premium priced specialty coffee, does it really not come down to personal preference at that point as all of the coffee at any price range of ~$20/200g is already going to be high quality. It feels like a bunch of people dick waving and convincing themselves the more expensive one is better because the price needs to justify itself, I would be shocked if the hyper expensive coffee from limited lots received >50% of the choice in preference when given in blind taste sessions up against a moderately priced specialty coffee. With wine/whiskey I can forgive it to a degree since the processing required undoubtedly requires more skill and control, and these two commodities in particular actually develop better with age in many cases. With coffee however it’s constantly degrading and you have brown people picking seeds in Africa so the argument for boutique overhead isn’t there like it is for wineries or malt houses.
2026 is the year of decaf
>>21830837
>>21830838just say you buy bad coffee and fuck off.
Now that it has been discovered that coffee does make you shit yourself scientifically I hope they will invent a type of coffee that doesn't, I want to taste coffee without shitting myself in public ever again.
>>21828035These girls are dead btw
i think... ill have an espresso when i wake up...
