>>21870055fly landed in my coffee :(
Mug collections are fucking stupid, I would piss in all of those.
>>21870134No you wouldn't. You have no soul.
>>21870055>mugsI drink coffee out of a glencairn. It has much better aroma presentation.
>>21870134You try coming up with a thread theme every couple weeks. If you'd rather I can leave them to the anime poster but people shit up the thread every time they make one.
>>21870134>I would pissout of your ass?
>>21870140>aroma presentationYou just made that up.
>>21870143No, this is much better, thank you. They will eventually shit this thread up with their blue-haired 'sexy catgirl' pervert faggotry, but it doesn't have to be in the OP where we have to see it in the catalog.That wall of mugs looks good and I will post some OC of mine.
>>21870176no he didnt.
I've always wondered how tasting notes work, are they just from the cupping, from the producer?most roasters ship their coffee before it's rested so how do they come up with the notes that may be there round 3-4weeks later when the coffee ''peaks''?
>>21870225its from the roasterusually from a cupping.but dont take them too seriously.buying based on tasting notes alone is a bad idea.
>>21870225>most roasters ship their coffee before it's rested so how do they come up with the notes that may be there round 3-4weeks later when the coffee ''peaks''?They do several sample roasts when they get greens to determine how the coffee should be roasted. They aren't just guessing roast profiles or roasting everything the same.>are they just from the cuppingyes> from the producerproducers have no idea how roasters are going to roast their coffee
>>21870240yeah I slipped into that for a bit and the results were varied. Huh I've been to a few cuppings, it was much more subtle than a dialed in cup. Tricky stuff but maybe my palate isn't developed
>>21870143>the anime posterlol
>>21870220yes he did
Do you guys also find that SL28 beans have a somewhat distinct aftertaste? I feel like I'm getting it with this type of bean from different roastersIts a bit less noticable on the last bag that I bought, but I'm still not sure that I like it
>SL28
>>21870521>liberica moment
>>21870511kenyans can be quite distinct, yes
mornin covf
gooooood morning /ctg/im waiting for my filter blend to arrivehows your brew going?

>>21870706just go home and get it bro
Just cleaned my ZP6 for the first time since I bought it.Whoever said coffee gets stuck in the thread, and that it rattles off when grinding id dumb.Better than magnet cups 100x

This is a proper coffee shop. What do you order?
>>21871132
>>21871153Coffee.
>>21871153I would personally clog up the line with an autistic complaint about how they refer to their turmeric and hibiscus tisanes under the "tea" categories, but failing that I'd get a cappuccino
>>21871153flat white to judge how good their coffee isthen a cortado if it is good.
>>21871153an 'spresso of course
>>21871153I'd ask them about any anime themed specials of course. Its an anime themed shop after all.
>>21871153i ask if they make pourovers, even and especially if theres nothing that implies that they dothen i ask what kind of coffee they have on deck and get a pourover if theyll make me oneif not i just leave
>>21871777>Its an anime themed shopI don't see anything that suggests this..
>>21871153>drip drop or nowherewhat?
>>21872320There's a shop that sells figurines a few doors down. The surrounding areas are all anime themed. Even the pediatric oncology center.
>>2187115312oz needs 3 shots
i dont think i can justify a $50 coffee scale just so i can see how fast i'm pouring
>>21872597If its just for pour over get something like a jennings cj-4000 and a $1 timer. Its a good multi-use kitchen scale.
>>21872624>0.5g accuracy>for $40buddy the fucking $7 scale i was thinking of getting instead has 0.1g accuracy and a timer built in it just doesnt have pour rate
>>21872629They were like $20. Didn't know they went up. Good luck with your chink scales asshole.
>>21872642everything is chink because chinks make great products and you can be ass mad about american empire falling apart but it doesnt bother me
Got hit on by a gay barista for the nth time. Really fucking depressing. Why can it never be a girl? I can't tell if it's me or if it's the hobby in general. Which aspects of coffee are manly? Moka pots? Espresso and v60 must be gay. They just must be.
>>21871153Can I just get a BLACK COFFEE none of that fancy bullshit
>>21872756yeh it says drip right there.fucking retard.
>>21872743>gaymaybe he thought you were a girl.every think of that faggot?
My favorite.
>>21872779>cups and plates in the same cupboardok psycho
>>21872597Make another thread about it. Last one was great.
>>21872770No, dumb gay retard.
>>21873140my 50-100 reply threads of my deliberating about me saving about 1 hour of minimum wage for 30 posts are great and about the only interesting ones on this amerislop garbage board
>>21873453>50-100 reply threads of people making fun of youYou've been agonizing for two months about spending ~$70 on shit you'll use daily for years. You have zero need for flowrate on a pourover scale. You're not making espresso.
it's weird that we don't have a nel drip autist, feels like we should
>>21873852we used to
>>21873852i think we accidentally bullied him off the site.again...
>>21873891>>21873873maybe I just repressed him or he passed me by, but it fits the profile of a schizoanon perfectly. mildly weeby, mildly oldschool, very tryhard, very contrarian. I guess we'll always have the anon that pushes really hard for robusta, or the anon that thinks nordic coffee that was invented in denmark is a british conspiracy.
>>21871153espresso, anything with an sca rating over 88 please, obviously you will be extract chilling it :).
>>21873908We serve coffee here, sir.
>>21871172fun
its good.cerealfreeze dried berriesmilk teaboth fortunately and unfortunately it tastes like all the other low alt carbonic macerations i have had.:)
>>21874547>mixed varietalsngmi
>>21874574honestly the real trvke is that 95% of the time varietals dont matter all that much and the other stuff matters more for taste.process and roast are the great equalisers.
>>21871132>>21871172I am NEVER going to drink out of a mug. :)>>21871153large matcha. i make better coffee at home. :)
>>21871153Since I know ball I'd ask what beans they have and if washed I'd get a double espresso, if natural or anaerobic I'd consider a double macchiato, but only if they know how to foam the milk. Whole milk too, none of that vegan shit.
>>21874547having another one
>>21875391Pulled some minmax french roast Lerida Loma from the freezer. Glacial water, little bit of buffer and magnesium sulfate + magnesium chloride. Oh its washed panama gesha alright. Exceptionally clean and citrusy. Delicate. Soft(probably more from the silica in the water). Can't wait to switch it up soon and bust into the 96hr anaerobic wush wush stash.>At his washing station, Israel uses a proprietary anaerobic fermentation protocol he's dubbed "alcoholic" due to the crisp, winey cups it produces.
4:30pm on a Sunday... I am desperately craving goffee
thoughts on costco beans? i usually get some beans from happymug, but im considering getting some from costco so i dont have to deal with shipping. would be primarily used for espresso
>>21875922bad
>>21875922Mostly shit mass market slop. Sometimes they get beans from local (regional) roasters which can be alright but still not good.
>>21870058I only realised like last year that the coffee cup was just coloured yellow. I thought it was a see through glass and thought it was the colour of the coffee.
>>2187115316oz iced latte, skim milk, blended if they offer it, peppermint syrup if they have it.
>>21876204>blendednever had that before
im new to coffeebought some dark roast colombia decaf and it is supposed to be fruity and sweet and i think i pretty much nailed the brewing (v60) but i still dont like it.at first when i didnt know dark roasts and decafs especially were supposed to be <=90C it tasted very acidic and over time i got to a point where it's very coffee like but a bit more interesting when hot and it tastes like an orange but a bit less sweet when it cools down but its not a pleasant taste to me. i know dark roast is not ideal for v60 but am i still ass at brewing or is it supposed to be citrusy and sharp?
>>21876254>it is supposed to be fruity and sweet>is it supposed to be citrusy and sharp?
>>21875922you're gonna get snobs laughing at you but the quality is good if they're one off roasters and not joses, starbucks or kirkland.
>>21876248you get more drink for your drink. very nice in australia where it's usually 25c min outside.
>>21876370>australiadid you get the weird weather today?cold hot cold now rain
>>21876352we have a ton of moomin mugs here in sweden but I've never seen this one before. Looks great I own pic related
>>21876352>lenovo laptop>scandi keyboardthere's a good change i'll own that one particular laptop at some point in my lifet. polack
>>21876384yes
>>21877110did you have a good coffee this morning?
Anyone ever get a toasted cumin note in your coffee? Brewed a pourover today and the toasted cumin scent was so strong I thought I had gotten some cumin in my grinder or brewer. I had to smell all my coffee equipment to doublecheck. It's funny 'cause yesterday's cup was pretty normal. It's not even specialty coffee, just supermarket single-origin.
>>21877398I had a bag from Colorfull that stunk of cardemom so badly I could smell it in my mailbox across the street.
>>21877398>Anyone ever get a toasted cum
going to try instant coffee tomorrow. Wish me luck
>>21877777You've got all the luck you need.
>>21871132Surprised these mugs aren't more popular which I'm not complaining because are nice mugs for pennies.
>>21877777Checked Nespresso gold ain't that bad
>>21875922>thoughts on costco beansThe French Roast was perfectly serviceable.
>>21876254>dark roast colombia decaf and it is supposed to be fruity and sweetHave to bloom HIGH (204 F or so) to get those notes, then pour lower (176-185F). Get the Hario Dark flow rate papers if you really want to get into the weeds. Otherwise try the above but French Press.
>>21877875You bloom a French press, my brotha?
>>21877974yes
>>21877875i've been doing hot bloom but the lowest i've gone with water is like 87-88C, i'll try 85Cmy kettle only does increments of 5C below 90C so i kind of have to kind of wing itI do 45s bloom 1:3 ratio and i'm not sure if i should pour it as slow as possible so it doesnt dry up or just pour, swirl and let it sit exposed for 20 seconds>Get the Hario Dark flow rate papers if you really want to get into the weedsi bought it before i knew dark roasts are not ideal for v60, by accident too since it's an espresso roast
>>21877790>>21877839Thanks. It's from Luminous
>>21876352>>21876627moomin cup is luv
>>21877374I used my superautomatic to make a hazelnut syrup iced skim milk latte.It was okay. I'm trying to finish off the syrup because it's not that good. I switched to skim milk for dietary reasons.. I might switch to Light milk, it's not that much different in calories but actually has some fat for flavour.
>>21878329The difference in skim and whole in a latte (~6oz milk) is only like 40 cals. That's barely anything. You could cut that out anywhere else and have an actually decent drink. Definitely less cals than in your syrup.
>>21878329grim
How many gram of ground coffee needed for single shot of expresso?I've been using 7-8 g but other people said 18 g.
>>21878355>single shotfor what purpose
>>21878362Is it too small for one cup of coffee?
>>21878364yesif you ask for espresso at a cafe anywhere in the world (except maybe coffee bars in italy) they will pull a double which is usually 18g.even if you ask for a single shot there is a high chance they pull 18g but just give you half of the yield.
>>21878366Oh thanks, good to know.
>>21878372no problem :)
>>21871153happened to me once , we were in a group and we went to a really fancy coffee house. Everyone was ordering extravagant blends , and ridiculous orders like ''give me a dark ethiopian blend with low fat milk and a dash of cinnamon '' shit that Niles Crane would say. So naturally i ordered a hot chocolate.It wasn't even what i wanted , but i did it just of spite
About to buy this
>>21878619sukeondeeeze
>>21878007Well how was it?
>wet paperbrew goes normally>dry paper brew stalls immediately >double filter, first wet, second drybrew drains way too quickly What the fuck is going on here? Same beans, same grind, same pouring technique, same V60. This never happens when I brew in the switch, so why should standard V60 be any different?
>>21878907Bro wasted like 3 things of beans lmaooo
>>21878919Coffee was still drinkable.
What is the ULTIMATE v60 filter unfolding technique
>>21879187>109 KB
anyone else make a coffee that just refuses to cool downmine stayed boiling hot for an hour.anyway, good cup this morning:)
I've been putting chocolate syrup in my coffee and I'm tired of pretending it's gay.
>>21879197I freeze a few cubes of coffee.
>>21879233>i drink goy syrupsis?
>>21879233I'll occasionally put a spoonful of jam in mine.
coffee time :)
>>21878710way better than expected. 6/10
>>21879309sounds strange, but also interestingwhat kind of jam?
>>21878907Do you add water first to your Switch?
>>2187115312oz vanilla latte
>>21880591Coming right up.
>>21880300Sometimes I wet the filter, most times I leave it dry. It doesn't seem to affect brew time either way.
>>21880884how was it
>>21881220you tell me ;)
>>21881227
>>21881220Bretty gud. I'll make another tonight.
what roaster should i try next? i have had>brainwave>brandywine>b&w>september>perc>luminous>hydrangea>second spini'm thinking flower child, sey, or s&w
>>21881227it was mid
>>21881422the barn
>>21881422have any favourites so far, and why?
you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like
>>21882024Its so funny to me that coffee consumption has surpassed tea in the UK but its almost entirely instant.
>>21882060I mean I prefer the taste of brewed coffee, but you can’t just throw 15 spoonfuls into a big cup, add boiling water, top it off with some cold water, pinch your nose, and drink it all in one go.
>>21881422Verve
I don't understand coffee. Even with the same batch of beans, it's really random whether I will shit myself after drinking or nothing will happen.
>>21882024Mogged by this
>>21882122This never happens to me plus I don't feel anything from coffee. I don't understand pepo limiting themselves to like 3 per day or saying shit like hurr durr my mornin cawfe I cna't live without. I just drink it because it tastes good and I got a cool lil spot with some cool barista.
>>21882473help
>>21882496Read the OP:>If you're new and confused, start here:>https://pastebin.com/UEzwuyLzctrl-f "french press"
>>21880092>what kind of jam?Depends on what I've made recently, usually blackberry or grape.
>>21882136Gigamogged by Mount hagen
>>21882750waitdo you mean jam or "jam"
>>21870055 have been using a mug that will rise the inside and outside of cup to hellish hottest, my go to for some reason despite the burns. I might heat my plates up to because of this to
>>21882496start with 15:1
>>21881562hydrangea for sure, best quality i've had for the price. both their naturals and co-ferments hit every time. aside from that, i'm not too picky on the roaster if I can get my hands on some pepe jijon...
>>21882889uhh... what?
>>21883003Nice, I've heard some great things about hydrangea. Really impressed at such a small operation is roasting so incredibly well and consistently- got to learn how they do it compared to the rest
>>21881422Its crazy you haven't tried DAK yet with this list.
robusta beans are literal crack cocaine bros how the fuck are they legal
>>21883910
>>21883881I haven't tried DAK simply because I hate their stupid hipster logo
>>21883910this, i get a different feeling after drinking them, it's like the usual caffeine rush but accompanied by a euphoric feel afterwards
>>21884763robusta has almost twice the caffeine per bean compared to arabica
I took a humongous L at the coffee shop today...
>>21884830do tell
>>21884864he asked if they have any third wave coffee.
Made the worst coffee I have ever made today. I wanted a coffee that didn't filter out the oil with a paper filter. Think french press, but I wanted pour over flavour so I busted out the chemex and a re-usable metal filter. Forgot how bad it chokes, and I ground for V60. Choked the metal filter almost immediately. Fuck it, how bad could it be? Well, 10 minute draw down and it literally tasted like fucking grass.Waste of good SO Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Thanks for reading my blog.
>>21885117its good to ground yourself with massive fuck ups from time to time
>>21884864He probably tried to flirt with the cute artsy girl pulling shots by talking about his specific puck prep regime and she (rightfully, not being a turbo coffee autist from a mongolian pottery forum) just said eww and made her coworker swap places with her.
>>21876254Jump to the end game. Skip dark and medium, go right to light. Single origin small roaster light, not starbucks "light". You probably didn't like it because all dark or medium roast is burned trash. Welcome to coffee. One of those shitty hobbies/interests where the second you get in, you become an insufferable elitist twat.
>>21885117I accidentally made coffee with 70C water the other day because I forgot that I set my kettle for green tea. It actually wasn't that bad, just lacking a little in body and flavour.
Hey guys, it's coffeh time
>>21885146RARE shes almost 40
nothing like sitting down with a whole pot of fresh coffee all to yourself.
I made heart... kind of
>>21885794I'm sure you enjoyed
>>21885796I ate a donut too and the sugar kind of overpowered the coffee flavor in my mouth...Also I still can't quite get the foamed milk correct, though I'm getting better I guess
>>21885794
>>21885823Thought this was the gif and waited for him to say it.
>>21885848hes saying it in your head right now anon
When I pour the steamed milk, at first it's like a nice thick liquid, but at the end it's just a lot of foam. What am I doing wrong to steam it? It's not coming out consistent all the way through I guess...
so, gofferand i thought i would be able to leave it forever¿but i really couldntwent a couple months off it, i think i was kinda OK, then i started missing it, then asked a friend to buy me a bag of shit, and drank shit, then i got the beans i usually buy, and now im hooked again, it is what it is
>>21882496buy a scale and measure both water & coffee grounds in grams, experiment and get the ratio you want
>>21885794Nice foamy cock.
>>21882575>>21882922>>21886705you guys are misunderstanding mei have a food scale, i have measuring cups and spoonsall coffee just says use a certain amount of tbsp per 6 oz of water, nothing says actual mg of caffeine which is what i wanna know
>>21886977Basically no one lists caffeine content like that. They'd have to lab test every batch.
Can anyone recommend any good coffee machines which aren't a fucking eyesore for my benchtop? they all look gay and steam punk. I have a /fa/ house and it needs to fit in.I am not poor but I don't want to spend $10,000 on a coffee machine
>>21887070What kind of machine? Do you just want a drip machine or an espresso machine or what. > I have a /fa/ house and it needs to fit in.Would also help to know what the fuck you mean by this. Mid-century modern? Contemporary? Traditional? Post-modern? Minimalist? Coastal?
>>21887095Honestly I am entering the coffee market, I am a huge snob and always buy my coffees but it is a bad habit that I would like to break. I just want high quality coffee so you tell me what the best way to obtain this is.Kind of a minimalistic coastal type of setup, something to suit picrel
>>21887105Profitec Pro 500 or ECM Classika PIDand for grinder Niche Zero/Mazzer Philos/Option-O Lagom P80 or if you want a hopper than idk something like the Eureka Mignon Libra
>>21887105>minimalistic coastal I would say white xbloom and a white zerno would look great.
I've been trying this recently and can't believe how good it is:
>>21887164Why would you need a zerno with the xbloom?
>>21887004alright thanks
>>21887399I'll try it
>>21887399>>2188749318g extra fine grind dark roast at 1:5. Lance wouldn't even call that espresso.
>>21887555Checked Lance can die for all I care
>>21887681Rude.
>>21887466he wouldn'tmaybe he was thinking of the meticulous
>>21887466>>21887998idk what happened. I was trying to give him a grinder+espresso machine+filter rec but I guess I forgot to type the machine. Meticulous would actually look good here with the zerno.

OKAY FUCKERS HOW DO I GET MORE ACIDITY WITH THE AEROPRESS
>>21888486Use it as a melodrip over a kalita wave
>>21888486grind coarser
>>21888486Change your water.
>>21888486brew with vinegar
It's time I finally graduate from my entry level hand grinderDo I got ZP6 or DF54 if I don't care about espresso? No I don't mind hand grinding every cup so the DF54 doesn't gain any points over the ZP6 for being electric I just want grind performanceAre these two grinders even comparable? They're around the same price and are both talked about a lot as being amazing value for money and making great cups
>>21888898I wouldnt be buying a 1400rpm 54mm blendy espresso flat for pourover.
>>21889096Common consensus I've seen online is that it does pourover and brewed coffee very well and I guess looking around the Ode 2 is actually only another £50 compared to the DF54 so I should probably be asking about that compared to the ZP6
>>21889107Theyve said the same thing about baratza encores for 15ish years. Id be looking at a df64 with aftermarket burrs(ssp, lebrew) if youre not going hand grinder. Zp6 will be a very different presentation.https://espressoaf.com/guides/burr_catalog.htmlhttps://www.robertasami.com/burrtopia
>>21889125A DF64 with SSP burrs is in a completely different realm in terms of budget though. The DF64 alone is double the price of the ZP6 never mind the burrs on top of thatThe ZP6 and Gen 2 Ode and especially the DF54 are at least comparable in price
>>21889137Nice things cost money. What entry level hand grinder are you replacing and what are you hoping to gain?
>>21889182$22 P0 trounces that all fucking day long.
>>21889164I'm not against spending good money to get something good in return but from what I've heard there's extreme diminishing returns once you approach the $250-300 range and you don't see many big improvements until you spend a whole lot more than that so I'd rather stick around that budget if the performance is there I mostly just want to know what the difference between the ZP6 and similarly priced electric grinders is because I already know the ZP6 is evergreen in terms of quality that's why I'm using it as my sort of benchmark because I don't want a small improvement from what I have, I want something good I've got a shitty Timemore C2 and the grind distribution is so terrible I can't get a consistent cup no matter the brew method or the coffee used. One cup will taste great and then I'll grind the same beans on the same setting and brew it the same and it'll suddenly be way more bitter.
>>21889216>just want to know what the differece isZp6 is designed with large outfalls. Thats means at its finest setting, its still spitting out pourover sized grinds and minimal fines. Excels at clean, hyperclear, light roast coffee. This is very different than a high fines high rpm blender of a df54 thatll spit out tons of fines for textured, muddy espresso that may be preferable for dark roast milk drinks. Ode 2 is a fancy looking box with a weak motor(wont hold up to grinding espresso fine) and a burr set that targets more middle of the road, medium roast pourover coffee. Youre paying for the Fellow name and get an american company to bitch at if shit breaks prematurely. Your c2 will be most similar to the df54.
>>21889245I've got nothing against the flavour I'm getting from the C2 when it decides to grind ok and not give me a bitter cup for no reason. I'm mostly seeking a consistent grind profile and better burr adjustment since the steps on the C2 are enormous which I suppose every grinder in this price range will get me those things I don't exclusively drink light roasts but I never go any darker than a medium light/medium roast brewed either pourover, moka pot or the oxo rapid brewer so maybe the ZP6 isn't the best choice for me
>>21889265Sounds like an ode is in your future.
>>21889276i hope an ode isnt in anyone's future
