Coffee TimeFeaturing the titanium automatic 38mm Tandorio field watch with screwdown crown and even hacking! Which I just discovered. I set the time exactly so I can watch the second hand pass 12 and see the time change on my PC monitor.Highly recommend picking one up. Right around 100USD. So lightweight. Rotor will spin forever; perfectly balanced. Sounds like casting a fishing reel when you flick your wrist.I like cappuccino.
>>21840264No classes beyond the cuppings and tutorials offered by the roasteries near me, bought an air roaster, made some decent coffee with it, then realized the only real way to get that juicy feedback would be to roast enough to sell at a Farmer's Market and have the grim hand of the Free Market decide my fate so I bought an Aillio Bullet so I could roast to that scale.Gonna try some of the coffee I roasted a week ago today and see if it matches or excels one of Counter Culture's premium offerings in a blind taste test. If I do that's the light roast locked in, just will need to pick a medium and dark roast, maybe a gimmicky aneroebic as a fourth offering.

good threadgood afternoon /ctg/!

Has anyone here tried liberica? I'm curious about it, but not curious enough to spend a lot tracking it down.
>>21841170Probably. But it would make more sense if the bracelet were also titanium. There are plenty made from stainless if that's what you want. Titanium was a lot of the selling point of that watch because of the weight. But if I changed the strap it'd probably be to an even lighter NATO style one.
Was running low on coffee so I made a stop gap blend consisting of >60% Brazilian Capricornio Pionero>40% Indonesian Java Condiroto RobustaSurprisingly pleasant for such a stop gap solution. Usually I like to rest the robusta for 2 weeks before using to avoid any funky mustiness it but I also rarely use such a high percentage.Has a bitterness akin to dark chocolate but the smell is a bit like green pepper and nutmeg which is disturbing.
>>21841128>Co-ferments are just flavored coffeesIDK I really dig the Cinnamon Anaerobic from B&W.It's kinda underwhelming as pour over but it tastes like a cinnamon roll when done as espresso.
>>21841307>e green pepper and nutmeg which is disturbing.Garnish with citrus peel + a bit of cinnamon/star anise..

I don't think humans are meant to drink water, otherwise how do you explain the obsession with tea and coffee and the associated all cause mortality reduction? The old unsweetened cocoa drinks were probably also very healthy.
>>21841917Everyone drinks water. Every living thing on earth was "meant to" drink water. You new breed of people I see on here are just so stupid and crazy. I can't fathom how you came to be. Why do you have these thoughts you post?? It's bad.
>>21841921Water is bad for you. I see that this is a redpill you’re not ready for just yet.
>>21841917>I don't think humans are meant to live indoors, otherwise how do you explain the obsession with sunlight and tanning and the associated all cause mortality reduction
>>21841988I don't explain that because tanning is massively negatively correlated with all cause mortality.
>>21841997nuh uhwe like it, it's healthy, a bit drops all cause mortality, we need it all the time exclusively

any brand name scales that are also good for cooking? i don't want to spend more than like $30i'm in europe, escali is not a thing ehre
>>21841421>Co-ferments are just flavored coffees>IDK I really dig the Cinnamon Anaerobic>it tastes like a cinnamon rollYeah mate that's literally what I said. Do you think its just a coincidence all the co-ferments have tasting notes of what they are fermented with?
>>21842222get a timemore black mirror basic from aliexpressits 40 bucks, but all other cooking scales died on me when they had a bit of water, this one works really well, ive had it for more than a year and its still going pretty well
>>21842257the price is pretty ridiculous
just ordered some extended fermentation washed beans
it's morningyou know what that means right
>>21842582what are you drinking, hopefully good
>>21841128for me, its a $2 stainless steel pour over from Daiso
>>21842707Go invest in pic related and get rid of the paper/plastic filter for that matter, since it's bad for the taste.
>>21842707does the tea tree infusion syrup taste good?
competition coffee needs to get back to prioritizing sweetness
>>21842719>go invest in making your coffee worse
I dropped my Commandante C40 on the kitchen floor and now if I try to grind espresso fine, even with spritz, the coffee goes superstatic making a huge mess everywhere, also I can't screw in the container anymore.It is over.
>>21842771>dropwouldn't happen with a bench mounted vertically cranked hand grinder.
Why does my bloom phase last like 10 seconds before the water is gone how do I fix that
>>21842774Id take a cracked conmandate catch cup over a Rok any day.
>>21842786your file is 109kbyou wasted over 90kb
>>21842755Are you seriously trying to tell me that filters made of plastic and paper are tasting better than tasteless stainless steel?The only alternative i would use is ceramic, but those funnels don't have that fine holes to prevent ground coffee to get into the mug.
>>21842853yes because paper actually filters properly while steel doesn't. steel also doesn't prevent fines from getting into the mug.
>>21842719>>21842853Fine metal filters are impossible to get completely clean without an ultrasonic bath. Ergo, eventually the coffee they brew will taste bad.
>>21842707>>21842719You are like little baby.
>>21842877too bad you don't baby sit no more. Could've been a naughty little brat who only drinks decaf with sugar and milk
>>21842771i travelled with my grinder and have the same issue i thought it was the moisture?
>>21841503Wife
>>21842866they're also impossible to machine fine enough that they're an appropriate substitute for paper. if anything cloth is what one should use if you want a reusable organic filter but it also has cleaning issues.
>>21842771happened to my zp6it screwed poorly and it didnt lock in all the way, with time though i just kept using it and it got back to screwing all the wayit still has a dent and to put the catch cup is awkward, but at least it has no problemsi also have static problems but its not that bad
>>21842786grinding too coarse or the coffee is more porous, either way if it tastes good it doesnt matter that much
>>21842860Still paperfilters make coffee taste shit. That's something you can't get around when using them.>>21842866>Fine metal filters are impossible to get completely clean without an ultrasonic bath.Never had any problems and i don't even own an ultrasonic machine. Stop making up stuff.Seriously kiddos, you see problems where they aren't and ignore them where you should see them.What went wrong with society?
>>21843235If your papers taste like shit, buy better papers.
>>21843244>muhh paper better than paperThey ALL taste shit. But according to your comment, i assume you never really experimented with it.
>>21843235>>21843283you like the taste of coffee oils retard, that's what you're noticingtake a nice paper filter, rinse it out with water, then run some water through itno taste

>>21843283>i assume you never really experimented with itYou'd be incredibly wrong.
>>21843235>Still paperfilters make coffee taste shit.no they don't.
Samefagging is the new pro paperfilter cope strategy?It's a well known fact, that paper filters tamper with the taste of coffee.
Great the USPS (more like the Indian Postal Service) lost my coffee.
coffee gear costs so much. Ah I want an affordable espresso machine in leafland but nope. profitecs 2k minimum
>>21843817No idea how much it is in snow pesos but Gaggia Classic Pro + Gaggiuino is less than 800 dollars
>>21843817>coffee gear costs so much$20 for a carafe$30 for a dripper$200 for a grinder$80 for a kettleyou never have to buy anything else ever again (beside beans)
>>21843563They're drinking it as we speak.
>>21843835I hope not. It's late and I ordered more stuff for tomorrow.
>>21843820Gaggia pro on it's own is $800+Gaggiuino seems to be $150+ so that combo's over 1000 after tax and shipping
>>21843844>more stuffWhat stuff?
>>21843817If you aren't retarded keep an eye on ebay, marketplace, craigslist, restaurant/cafe closings, estate sales, govt auctions, restaurant supply, etc for used espresso machines. You can find some great deals if you just look a couple times a week for 6 months to a year even better chances if you set up some alerts. Most need minimal amount of work to get back in great condition. Especially this time a year a lot of people are selling old gear they upgraded or getting rid of xmas gifts they decided they don't want/like.

do any of you get a depression/despair feeling when you drink coffee sometimes?I am just realizing this now. I used to get euphoria, but lately it's like a downer and makes me sad. Maybe I'm breaking down, idk. I don't plan on drinking any today. I went for a solid workout this morning before work too.t. 22bmi
>>21844481retard
>>21844494>can't articulate their thoughtslol
>>21844481Sorry you are having a bit of a sad nigga moment. Hope it turns around for you soon.
>>21844302Cope.
>>21844481I've been getting very sleepy after coffee recently. Not sure what's changed, but sometimes I'm nearly dozing off, when I used to get jitters and anxiety if I drank too much.I've been sleeping more lately too, so I dunno.>>21843563Every time a company ships me something with USPS, they bring it to my town's distribution center, put it back on the truck, drive it up to the next town's distribution center, then bring it back, adding at least two days to the delivery time. It's been like this since the postal service changes a few years back.
Will drinking 5 cups of black light roast per day disintegrate my teeth?
>>21844526yers
Trying some S&W beans for the first time today; anaerobic Ethiopian natural. Good, not great, but it’s pretty cheap compared to how expensive most other roasters are in 2026. >>21844526People will think you are bri’ishI personally use a lot of whitening strips>>21844481>blogging about depression in the coffee generalGet some help because I don’t want to read that shit Also no idea why you included your BMI>>21844293I think Rolexes are pretty gay but I agree that people trying to flex with poorfag watches are worse
>>21844626it's related to coffee consumption, so it WILL be posted.I included BMI because the first thing people tell depression fags is "go to the gym, get fit". I have abs and 15in biceps, niggaDo the whitening strips make your teeth sensitive?
>>2184464122 BMI is tiny, that's an FFMI of 20 at bestHit the gym lil nigga >>>/fit/
>>21844680I lied, I don't know my BMIICK ON ECK FAGGOTnow on topic, I am trying some Cama coffee beans from taichung. They are quite good.
>>21844714congrats on the 2 pack, you need to train abs if you want to say you have abs
>>21842877I've tried this one at various grind sizes but they always fall through the gaps. Where do I find beans large enough for this kind of filter?
coffee time :)
>>21844248>They all tasted just fine. There was really very little paper taste coming out of any of these papers.
>>21845015>>well known fact, that paper filters tamper with the taste of coffeethis statement has nothing to do with the taste of the filters themselves retard.if filters objectively had zero flavor or odor of any kind, different paper filters would still impact the taste of the coffee.
>>21845042>paperfilters make coffee taste shit>They ALL taste shit.
>>21845050He's saying that paper filtered coffee tastes worse, not that the paper itself tastes bad.
>>21845094If the paper isn't ADDING anything to the taste and your coffee tastes like shit after filtering, it means your coffee tasted like shit before but was masked. Its okay to prefer extremely rounded, muddy, opaque brews. There's a reason people still buy Niche Zeros for pourover.
>>21845120not everyone is a fan of tea-like coffee
>>21845128You understand that the mecca of paper filters, Japan(and asia in general really) drinks pretty fucking dark roasts right? Kasuya's original competition 4:6 recipe was with distilled water to intentionally extract low. Osmotic flow recipes are for minimizing agitation that would otherwise overextract more developed japanese roasts.
>>21845136just because they're roasted dark doesn't mean the brew won't be tea-like
Bros I heard regular coffee consumption can offset the harmful effects of rampant alcoholism on the liver
>>21845213noonly extreme coffee consumption through autistic engagement in the specialty coffee hobby will do that.
>>21844295This actually works.
>>21844516>Every time a company ships me something with USPS, they bring it to my town's distribution center, put it back on the truck, drive it up to the next town's distribution center, then bring it back, adding at least two days to the delivery time.Yeah it's cancer. USPS is decades behind in logistics.
>>21845136>roast profile filtersSo tired of this stupid market. Just roast my beans.
>>21845295Different density, thickness, and texture.
>>21845409total meme
>>21845409Yeah, I know what they do, I'm just saying it's stupid to give them roast profilesJust buy the thickness you want to use for your roast profile.
>>21841128Why does coffee have the the worse leaves? They are so boring and generic. Nothing like Gods gift to the world.... Sassafras.
>>21845847They're cute

>>21845120>>21845136>>21845409These absolutely effect what grind fineness you can get away with. >>21845841It simplifies it for marketing purposes and non-coffee nerd faggots.
>>21846040>for marketing purposesExactly. Total meme.
Any recomendations for a portable coffee filter? For taking with you on trips.
>>21846094clever or switch reason being you wont always have a gooseneck and immersion doesn't need one. Not as big as a french press, not as shit as an aeropress, you don't need heat source like a moka.
good morning ck
I heard that zishin teapots are seasoned overtime by tea because it's made of porous clay. Do you think coffee will be improved if I use something like that and season it by brewing coffee in it instead of tea?
>>21846266my instinct is no, from how it goes with moka pots. if you go for too long without cleaning the accumulated coffee oils and such, it gets kind of bitter and nasty. could be different with clay vs. metal, but i personally would not count on it. i am curious how it goes if you do end up trying it, though.
>>21846147Thanks, I didn't even know "immersion" drippers existed. Do they change the taste significantly since they hold the water? I was initially thinking of something smaller though. There are drippers that fold up for example, or don't require filter paper (I.e. reusable filters) but haven't found any with convincing reviews.
>>21846040>and non-coffee nerd faggotsthese don't care how fast their brew time is.
>>21846266I guess it will taste bitter as hell after a while.>>21846389I flattened the indents on the basket/funnel of my Bialetti Moka Pot to be able to remove the bottom.This way, i can clean it perfectly.You guys have no idea how much grease accumulated under it, that i would otherwise not been able to clean out.
i drink k cups
would you be compelled to buy from a roaster that dialled in for your specific setup for every bean?
>>21846965We're not helping you with your farmers market bullshit.
Mmmmmm goffee
>>21846470>Do they change the taste significantly since they hold the water?yesimmersion is a pretty different flavor profilebut usually pretty hard to make a bad cupremember to use water first then coffee when doing immersion.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpOdennxP24
>>21846965no because that smells like desperationdesperate men dieconfident men thrive.simple as.
>>21846266>Do you think coffee will be improved if I use something like that and season it by brewing coffee in it instead of tea?no because tea doesnt go rancidcoffee oils go rancid.you need to clean your coffee equipment unless you like the taste of rancid coffee oils(you dont)
>>21846225>coffee ringsclean up before taking a photo please.
I started making my own espresso about a month ago with a Bambino and your typical starter Chestnut Grinder. I just got back from a trip to Australia where I tried espresso from a handful of cafes. Honestly, I'm wondering why they were all just below average to average. I'm sure they aren't known for their coffee, but surely at least one specialized cafe should taste better than mine.
>>21847260>just below average to averageCafes target the masses by necessity. Most people like shitty coffee/espresso with copious amounts of milk. You don't need exceptional beans when you're shitting out flat white after flat white, so cafes just use cheap blends.
just had some buttered toast with apple butter and a coffemmm
>>21847531mmmtry some creamed honey and butter on a slice of warm brioche toastyum
>>21847861good night my friendenjoy the goff

>>21847897bitter but a tiny bit funky, not bad at all still need a few more resting days but i'm very satisfied
>>21847897>>21847930sounds exiting, i like naturals but i usually buy pretty light roast. never tried a dark roast natural
Can’t wait to try these
>>21848240Don't wait, just try them now.

any tips from roasters for best way to deal with new beans without sample roasting?Not quite sure how to highlight what when it's bigger batches and going in fairly blind for how they'll turn out
>>21849289practice makes perfect
>>21849299absolutely, it's just pricy to practice haha. Quite the interest to pick, fun, tons of depth and learning, quickly expensive
>>21849289>>21849304Have you roasted anything similar in the past that you enjoyed? Usually, people practice on cheaper beans and move up once they're confident in their consistency.
>>21849304>it's just pricy to practice hahawhat?greens are incredibly cheap?what the fuck are you talking about?tell us how much you are spending on greens.unless you are homeless and $20 is alot of money.>>21849289before i roasted i had drunk a ton of specialty coffee from all overso when buying greens i had a end point reference for what they greens should taste like.and i had a visual memory of what the beans looked like(if you dont have a photographic memory you should keep a notebook with a picture of the beans for future reference)so that when you buy say natural processed heirloom variety Colombians you can go back and see a time when you drank a cup of that bean roasted by a professional and then think of how to apply roasting basics to those greens to derive the desired result.
>>21849312>so that when you buy say natural processed heirloom variety Colombians you can go back and see a time when you drank a cup of that bean roasted by a professional and then think of how to apply roasting basics to those greens to derive the desired result.that's a great idea>>21849312moreover the roaster I'll be using is 10kg - so it adds up.>>21849311learning on a new machine, hoping to ask them what's their cheaper bean source to get adjusted to it and go from there. Lots of practice-will make stuff for my parents and then slowly get used to lighter roasts. It's the sheer volume that's the issue. I'd be happier with a 5kg machine instead
>>21849326>moreover the roaster I'll be using is 10kg - so it adds up.nobody here roasts that large.so i guess we cant relate.what do you even do with all those beans?
>>21849352fuck if I know, donating them? I'm not used to roasting on something so big either or such large lots. I'd be down to get a sub 5kg roaster soon, but this one big ones available near me and I'll be learning on it, so maybe I'll start a 'micro roaster' but that's lofty since I have so much to learn and grow with. but appreciate all the advice and knowledge
>>21849370how many cupping's have you done? like where a roastery/cafe has a day where they do a "public" cupping and you can sample a range of coffees?it would be really useful to build up that mental knowledge base.
>>21849326This is why things like Ikawa and Roest exist.
>>21849434sounds like hes renting time from a company to use their machines.i remember brain quan doing a video on one of these companies before.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FntyoJZ8FUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e4Fbq9TyJg
>>21848288>>21848263they were bretty good, very fruity and clear taste. not really like naturals, which i think i kinda expected
>>21849540>. not really like naturals, which i think i kinda expectedbut it says washedwhy would you expect natural?
>>21849545I know it says washed but I havent tried extended fermentation before so I just didnt know what to expect. Of course I knew it was going to be something different
I have just discovered the double bloom. 1 pour 3x dose followed by 2nd pour 3x dose 45 seconds later followed by the rest of the brew 45 seconds after that. My brews have ascended to the next level. Thank me later.
>he doesnt know about micro blooms
just do immersion
>>21849897Okay I will
>>21849808Okay I will try tents
>>21849808multiple-pours recipes are always better
>>21849897immersion via doing 1 long pour where the flow rate in is equal to the drain rate so new water is constantly introduced to the coffee and its immersed the whole time.
>>21849897>>21849899now what?
>>21849965blud is making coffee in a sack
>>21849967>blud is making coffee in a sackyeah it's better than paper (except cleaning it)

>>21850099Easier to extract and "better" are two incredibly different things.
Not sure what I did differently, but I think I pulled a perfect espresso shot. 18g beans, 36g out in ~35seconds
>perfect>doesnt say how it tasted or smells
>>21850129>how it tasted or smellsLike coffee.What else do you want to know?
>>21842866>impossible to get completely cleanIs this the same for plunger coffee with a metal strainer. I have a feeling even though I clean my plunger, its not super clean and could be affecting the taste of my brew
>>21850141>Like coffee.go bump somewhere else.
>>21850147No. Plunger filters aren't nearly as fine as pourover metal filters. Fill it with some warm soapy water and actuate the plunger a few times then rinse.
>>21850152>>21831172
>>21850129Who are you quoting?
>>21850166retard
>>21850172So you’re just talking to yourself? Dumb schizo
>be me>in a thread with an unironic tourist
>>be meoh no he's still talking to himself
>>21849448Yup that's the plan and thank you for the videos!>>21849434the price points on those are nuts, more than espresso machines>>21849384I've done a few but am looking for more. Unfortunately the most I could do is probably once a month, maybe twice. I'm near some wellknown coffee roasters but they host them only so often
Trying to work out how much caffiene I am getting each morning. I use 20g of ground arabica coffee, brew it in my plunger with 250-300ml of water for 3.5-4mins. I then pour maybe 2/3 of this into my cup of 75ml of warm milk. Anyone got the math? I feel like 200mg of caffiene is a pretty good guess. Maybe less.
>>21850227>Trying to work out how much caffiene I am getting each morning.Why
>>21850129it tasted and smelled perfect
>>21850227Roasted arabica is around 1.2% - 1.5% caffein by weight. Who knows how much you're extracting and drinking, THOUGH.
>>21850234Its just nice to know these things. Ive come from years of drinking instant, but dont think I can go back now after brewing with my little plunger. Definately feel like its more of a hit than what I was used to.
>>218502276-8 oz. Dark roasts have the least, Lights the most (fermented ought to have less than usual either way). I like ice yerba mate prior for the caffeine antagonists, mellows out absorbtion.
>be meOh god, what a fedora wearing faggot
>>21850217>the price points on those are nuts, more than espresso machinesThey are sample roasters. They are usually paired with commercial roasters that cost 10 times that or more. Commercial espresso machines cost more than those sample roasters too. You're comparing hobbyist gear with commercial gear. If you are wanting to buy a 5kg roaster you are going to be spending way way more than that and a few thousand for a sample roaster is nothing

What's a good drill that has consistent torque? Getting too tired to grind by hand but those countertop coffee grinders are too big for my kitchen.
Good morning ckToday we have leftover McDonald's coffee from Friday, bitter melon and rice tea, and Mandarin orange tea.
>>21851083thanks for reminding me that my life could indeed be worse.hope you have a great day :)
>>21851099anytime bro
is home roasting a nordic profile at home on a budget a fools arrand? I just don't wanna pay for specialty every time I want a bean that isn't bland as sin.
>>21851231>arrand
>>21851245Sorry.. I did of course mean errand.
>>21851261and fyi you dont need expensive beans to do a certain roast profileyou can use trash and practice a profile.just buy whatever you can afford.like home chefs dont need to buy A5 wagyu to learn how to cook a steak a certain way.
>>21851268>and fyi you dont need expensive beans to do a certain roast profilethat wasn'tt he concern. evenness and managing temp matters more at a lighter roast profile, while charcoal coffee is gonna get roasted enough internally and on the surface regardless. I'm worried that I can't competently do a nordic roast, not that the beans needed for it are too expensive. I'm worried that it's a fools errand because I might as well not show up if I doesn't have a ROEST L200 or some shit.
Any kettles that actually get to proper temperature and then STOP and HOLD it?My stupid kettle boils and then cools to temperature and I always lose water in the process. I need a kettle that doesn't overshoot and then come down.
>>21851231specialty isn't even that much. great beans can be $1 per cup.
>>21851375see >>21851287 the concern here is not the price of the bean.
>>21851376Ah, I see. Well you're going to have to experiment with roasting methods, same as brewing.
The landlord gave me a tub of Maxwell House and some shitty tea for Christmas... I didn't think there was anything that would really fix the coffee, but I made some this morning with some roasted and ground chicory root - about 50/50, and it is actually surprisingly decent.
>>21851099This, I thank God every day that I'm not black, latino, arab, Indian (Canadian), or gay
>>21851393>or gay(Canadian)
>>21851401or black(Canadian pham, ong my guy)
>>21851373my kettle has a keep temp button but i have to manually press it once it reaches desired temp
>>21851439I can set mine to hold before desired temp but it overshoots and comes down. there is no temperature indicator.
I don't know what to do bros. I feel like getting into making coffee at home is a meme. Not counting a grindr and a scale, a Gaggia is like 500 bucks, whereas the stuff you need for V60 would be ~100. Like why? Not to mention there are espresso machines for 5k too. What a meme scam that is. Are they 10 times better than a Gaggia? No. I much prefer espresso to V60 as well. I could get an aeropress, but then I'd get FOMO and want a machine.After all that, and at the end of the day, the coffee I make will never be better than what the barista at my local shop makes. She has access to top of the line gear plus she's cute. Why would I ever make my own coffee when I can have hers? She's also fun to talk to and she's nice.I give up.
>>21851482>Not to mention there are espresso machines for 5k too. What a meme scam that is. Are they 10 times better than a Gaggia? No.If you're making more than one milk drink back to back, absolutely. The gaggia has a 100ml boiler with both the grouphead and steam wand using that volume. Without dumping 25% of its cost back into mods, its extremely thermally unstable.>the coffee I make will never be better than what the barista at my local shop makesYou'd be surprised.
>>21851482Just get the fucking Aeropress. If it makes you wanna splurge on an espresso machine, it's not FOMO but just stupid thinking because it's not the same brewing method.And you don't really need that much to brew with a V60 really
>>21851492I was under the impression that the Gaggia was by far the best in that budget bracket and it's better than much more expensive ones.>>21851498Yeah exactly, V60 is so much cheaper to get into. It's not fair. I don't even know what aeropress to get if I were to get onr though (I wont)
>>21851508I'm under the impression you're retarded and don't know what you're talking about. One of us is correct.
Why are so many shops incapable of making a macchiato? They always make cortado.
>>21851514I'm under the impression that you're a nigger. I remain correct unless you post hand to prove me otherwise.
>>21851517Use case for macchiato?
>>21851519Here's ~$2500 in top of the line burrs I've got sitting around. Let me know when you get a couple bucks together and we'll try to help out a young broke.
>>21851535burrtism
>>21851532Not wanting a straight espresso but not wanting a milky piece of gay shit with latte art in either. Worst shit ever is asking for a macchiato and the zesty barista making it into a cortado, because he just HAS to put a fucking heart in it before looking into your eyes and smiling at you and saying ome gay shit with his nasal fruity voice. Use case for anything above cortado? Just drawing dicks on the coffee and hitting on other men?
>>21851517you really expect them to foam milk just for you?take your cortado(the better drink) and fuck off.
>>21851546For me its the timemore c3 esp.
>>21851549Yes the fuck? Why buy these million dollar machines with all these coolass features if you're not gonna use them? I have PTSD fron cortado. Fuck a cortado.>>21851535Sygau.
>>21850593not wrong but man a roest is pricy! and an sr800 is not really as transferable to larger batches
Speaking of macchiato, this alt dyke zoomer used to work at my fav spot. She had elite ball knowledge and made the best macchiato and coffee in general. Haven't since her since summer. Apparenly she had a mental breakdown and got hospitalized. She really did seem disturbed and only looked alive when she was busy doing magic with coffee. Hope she's ok. Shr got replaced with a zestmaster faggot that can't stop shilling his gayass flat whitres. I'm pissed.
>>21851628shoulda got the recipe chief- valuable stuff
>>21851547>request macchiatto from zoomer barista>she makes a cortado because she gets paid $14/hour and isn't autistic or italian>lecture bored barista on the etymology of macchiatto = "stained", and the proper process of spooning frothed but definitely not steamed milk >"sir there is a line forming"Might as well just do it yourself desu
>>21851710She was hitting on you. You should have waited for her after her shift ended and surprised her with roses. This is why you're still a virgin.
>>21851710This except I say ty :) and when she asks me if I liked it after I say yes :) when the real answer is no >:(. Kind of like that one time at the bar when I asked the zoomer bartender to make me an amaretto sour and she said ok but you'll have to show me how to make it. I just got 3 jager shots and went to a different bar.>>21851714The coffee witch dyke was really talkative this one time, talmbout how sad she was, because her gf cheated on her and she was heartbroken and shit. I was like wow sorry to hear that but in my head I was like yeah ok lil bro didn't ask lole. My friend called me retarded and said I should have asked her out. Hell nah.
Cherry is the note for me.
Very high perceived sweetness coff with medium bitterness or normal amount of sweetness gof but no bitterness?
with cuppings, is it supposed to be 'weaker' notes ? some cups can stand out but I'm never 'wowed' the way I am with pourovers It's all mild variations. I guess I need to adjust my expectations but man my palate isn't refined enough for these subtleties.
>>21851081You don't want a drill, you want a driver.
>>21851851It's posts like this that drive me to antisemanticism.
>>21851932Drills and drivers are different tools with different applications.
Please do not try to drive your coffee beans into hardwood or concrete.
>>21851081>those countertop coffee grinders are too big for my kitchen.somehow i doubt this, unless youre a huge slob with too much shit. post kitchen
>drink coffee>start farting and shittingi love drink coffee.
>>21841128I thought this was the leaf-juice thread
baratza encore esp worth $200? currently using a manual timemore grinder that i got for like $70
>>21851948explain
>>21852386no
>>21852216when i take the first sip of joe in the morning
>>21852301No, sir. This is the roasted-seed infusion thread.
>>21852396One drills, the other drives.
>>21852472>the other drives.
goffee time(with cookies) :)tastes like smoke from matches, wet paper, brazil nuts and 100% dark chocolate.
>>21852573Which cookies?
>>21852597home made cinnamon nut cookies(literally take every nut you can can think of and grind it into a powder)as well as linseed and sunflower seed powder.no sugar or other forms of sweeteners.
>>21852615Egg as the binder? Did you add some larger chunks as well? Like peanut butter cookies made from crunchy peanut butter.
>>21852896well by home made i mean made in my mums home by her hahaill ask her for the recipe if you like.but id imagine its just a generic recipe.gluten free flour tooand i make the nut powder for myself to add to basically whatever and i was telling her about it so she did the same and made it into the some cookies.nuts have so many good idk nutrients? and stuff that incorporating them as a part of your daily diet is really good.but eating all those nuts whole every day is tiring so i found blending them and using them as an additive is much easier and tastier as the flavours combine and balance each other out.>Did you add some larger chunks as well? Like peanut butter cookies made from crunchy peanut butter.no, because im lazy and also because i want all the nuts to be in each cookie.and i dont see how you could get an even amount of all the nuts to be in each cookie when in chunk form and still have a good texture.oh i dont use pine nuts because they are too expensive to use like thisbut you could use them to put on top before you bake it if you wanted some whole nuts in there.oh and the nuts are roasted before being blended.you dont have to but i think it helps.
>>21852924>ill ask her for the recipe if you likeI would. Thank you. >incorporating them as a part of your daily diet is really goodI agree. I have a serving of pumpkin seeds daily. >could use them to put on top before you bake itGood idea. Are you doing keto, or is the no added sugar/sweetener just personal preference?
>>21852924Yes very autistic how could you tell.
>>21853076glad to see my rent is still $0
>>21853017>Are you doing keto, or is the no added sugar/sweetener just personal preference?i developed(?) an autoimmune condition that basically means i have to have a pretty restrictive dietand cane sugar/artificial sweeteners + gluten were some of the first to go as they just made it worse for whatever reason.and i was shocked out how sweet so many things in life naturally are once you are on a zero sugar/sweetener diet for a year.so i kinda prefer it this way after all.also there is the silver lining of losing weight and being healthieralso way better skinand i used to dread summer or exercise because of how i would smell but turns out when you have a really clean, pure diet you really dont smell like anything.no fat eitherand as little oils as possibleeven the "healthy" ones.luckily im fine to drink coffee.oh but i recently had to cut out cheesemilk is fine but cheese turned out to be a trigger, unfortunately such is life.:)second coffee nowbut i think i messed upi did 2 blooms and 1 big pour and it tastes a bit to herbal for mejust trying something newi usually do 2 blooms and then 3 small pours after that for about 400mli think this coffee is getting stale thorested for a month and now a week into it and i still have 350g to get throughand 2kg of other beans...i over-ordered over christmas i think.i hope your next coffee is good :)
>>21853122>luckily im fine to drink coffeeThat's good to hear. While reading that first part, I was wondering if you had issues with coffee. How is fruit for you? Dates and raisins are a nice way to add a touch of sweetness to baked goods. And yeah, I agree. You don't realize how addictive and taste-blinding sweetness is until you get accustomed to a "bland" diet. Same thing goes for salt. >milk is fine but cheese turned out to be a trigger, unfortunatelyAll cheese? Damn, that sucks. Is it the protein concentration? Maybe the milk fat? Do you eat yoghurt? >this coffee is getting staleWhen I notice that happening to my beans, I use a smaller/shorter bloom to kind of mitigate the stale flavour. Not as good as properly rested, but it takes that stale edge off. >i hope your next coffee is good :)Thanks. You too.
>>21853158>All cheese?i only really eat cheddar or cheddar-like cheesesso maybe there are some "lighter" cheeses that worki generally dont like soft cheeses tho so idk if it would really be worth it.its easier for me to just say "ok no cheese" and mentally move on.i have a feeling its to do with the agingas milk and cream is still fine.> Do you eat yoghurt?not in years.>I use a smaller/shorter bloom to kind of mitigate the stale flavour.i probably need to adjust my grind setting.ive kept it the same as when it was fresh.ill try going finer next time.
got my grinder, cafec filters, hario 02 and decdnt coffeeim using a spoon to break up stream but im looking into gooseneck electric kettles but theyre like $100recommendations?
>>21853197https://flairespresso.com/product/flair-cafe-kettle/
>>21853210>110v onlyinto the trash it goes
you don't need more
>>21853265Maybe one day UNICEF will get into the third world kettle game.
>>21853272certainly would introduce more competition in the 110V kettle space
>>21853281Do you guys have a gofundme or something over there? We've got to be able to finance a $100 kettle for an aspiring thirdie.
>>21853306>aspiringtrue, not quite down to your level yet
>>21853312One day my friend. Post decdnt coffee.
was pretty unimpressed with luminous.
>>21853547>meme coffeei would hope so
>>21853547>luminous>visit website>auto playing max volume videoi hope they go bankrupt
>>21853547Did you get the Rodrigo Sanchez?
>>21853569Skill issue. Bet you don't have adblock either.
>>21853582what an odd thing to say
coffee timeand carrot cakecoffee is too hot to drink tho
>>21854174what are you having
can any Germans recommend some coffee beans? I've only heard that Aldi supposedly has some good beans
>>21854302whats your budget? what do you like?
>>21854272grim
>>21854306i like my coffee with milk and sugar, the beans shouldn't be too intense I think budget doesn't really matter but availability is important, best case would be to just go into a grocery store to buy beans
>>21854311If you don't care about specialty coffee then you would be fine getting something at Aldi. Probably a medium roast. Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica etc.
>>21854308how so?
>>21854368well... at least it has a window...
new >>21854379
>>21854272morning
>>21854368Nice view. You in Saskatchewan?
why does some coffee taste like butt in the switch but is great as v60?
>>21854474I'm from sask, but don't live there right now. I'm thinking about moving back though. I could buy a decent house in Regina, they go for 200k to 300k cad, but then I'd need to keep working - taxes and shit. Renting there seems pretty bad. Too many jeetified apartment complexes, and they're built like absolute ghettos.You from there?
>>21854368Good choice of sparkling water.
>>21855101thanks canabrohow's your week going? killing it?
>>21855302murdering it (the snow on the driveway)
