>>21932558jbm is trash
>>21932559and a good day to you, sir. ('-')7
titanium = good
>>21932558$273/kg from hydrangea gesha natural
>>21932613not my heckin tulip!
>>21932558Ive paid more than that for greens...
It's time.
>>21932613100% based. Fuck your kookilyass flat white+ drink.
no coffee today
>>21932558>$104.00 lb.>$52.00 1/2 lb. what did they mean by this?
>>21932613lost aura on that shit pour thoyou gotta quick dump that shit, initial pour angle was too shallow and didn't commit hard enough until it was too late

>>21932746
>>21932558I don't pay more than 70 bucks for a 2 lb bagThe shit I buy tastes amazing and I cannot imagine how spending exorbitant amounts could yield any more than like 2-5% better tasting coffee
Weekend over soon :)) back to drinking coffee tomorrow

What flavor changes does one expect from a $100 bag of beans vs an organic $6 bag from Lidl? Is it mostly for more fruit forward tastes? Is the experience not even comparable?
>>21933031Coffee likes elevation. Slows down the grow, makes the cherries and seeds grow way denser. That density brings a fuckload more of the fruit acids that makes coffee tasty.>more fruit forward tastesYou're drinking roasted cherry seeds. If you're not getting any fruit the seeds have had that acid burned out in the roast, or they were shitty low elevation beans to begin with. There's a huge gap between brazilian coffee grown in the plains without any tree cover and the shit Pepe Jijon grows in a unique microclimate like his Ecuadorian cloud forest farm. Its not a singular flavor difference, you're missing out on "complexity" by drinking bags from Lidl that just taste brown.
A manual grinder has to be the most cucked stupid ass purchase I've ever made>Oh? This $100 grinder gives me similar quality to this $250-300 one? And I just need to put in a bit of effort?And then I find myself grinding the night before or if I forget and I'm lazy just grabbing a red bull in the morning cause the effort this shit takes IN THE MORNING WHEN I NEED MY COFFEE THE MOST is just too much of a pain the assThe entire minute I'm standing there grinding the fuckass beans like a faggot slave makes an electric grinder 100000000000% worth itAnyways.
>>21933329What a little bitch.
>>21933329*ahem*
>>21933054It's still washed, not natural processed. If you want cherry so badly, why remove the fruit? I don't believe Pepe Jijon and Luwak are the only two drinkable bean juices. >>21933329Hook it up to a drill if your arm doesn't work.
My dropshipped box of nespresso compatible capsules arrived!
>>21933329>t. Jack
>>21933329I have a few manual grinders. C40, Lido 2, Lido E, Pharos, and a HG-1 Prime. I also have and mostly use a Super Jolly for espresso and a Forte BG for filter. You're right and I warn people of this all the time. Manual grinders are great if you are poor, for travel, or as a supplement but I would never have only a manual grinder. So many people think they don't care about manual grinding but fail to realize its every fucking time. It doesn't matter if you have to get up super early, you're running late, you just got home and just want a cup of coffee, you have to hand grind. There is no I don't feel like it. Its even worse if you have people over and you have to do several rounds in the hand grinder just to have enough for everyone because most only hold enough for a cup or two.
>>21933442The fact that you use a forte over a c40 for filter speaks volumes.
>>21933430the nespresso chadthe kafatek and manual grinder weirdos
>>21933423>It's still washed, not natural processed. If you want cherry so badly, why remove the fruit?washed cucks btfo
>>21933442>I would never have only a manual grinder.the hg1p is probably the best as far as manual grinders go, its by far the easiest especially if you bolt it into the counter top.
mmm robusta moka
>>21933329>>21933442hit the gym twinks
>>21933708Blend for me with a strong and sweet Cubana. https://youtu.be/ruD7XLK236M
>>21933671Yeah I definitely agree with that. The pharos is probably my favorite but also the biggest pain in the ass and least used these days. No way I am messing up my maple countertop bolting either of those to it though (they are both in my dining room) I mostly use the hg-1, SJ, and Forte and then the Lido 2 for travel. >>21933714Its not that its difficult to manually grind. I just don't want to deal with it every single time I want a coffee or a cortado. Sometimes I just want a quick cup or if I'm brewing a moccamaster, big chemix, or pushing out multiple espresso shots back to back for guests or something like making tiramisu. Why sit there and grind out 10 different batches when I can just run it through an electric grinder in 90 seconds?>>21933455I mainly use a Kalita Wave 185 or glass clever for filter and it works perfectly fine lmao. Nothing wrong with the Forte BG
>>21933733>Nothing wrong with the Forte BGYeah Ditting did a phenomenal job on a $60 set of burrs. The problem is its a $900 grinder and you'd have to be a retard to buy one.
>>21933733>No way I am messing up my maple countertop bolting either of those to it thoughtrue but craig lyn does recommend bolting it to a heavy cutting board.could probably rubberize the bottom to increase grip.dark roasts are a breeze but lighter roasts require more torque which can kick the grinder, and the grinder feet need to be fully clean and the surface its on too.i have to pull mine from its storage position out to the edge of the counter to grind it every time i use it so it picks up tiny particles which make it lose grip meaning i have to clean it more/apply more force when grinding.holding it in place requires more energy than turning the crank, at least imo.
>>21933743It wasn't $900 when I bought it in 2014 and there were a lot less options back then. >>21933753I actually don't have any problems using it as is but I might see what kind of wood and stain I have in the shed. Mine is actually on my built in buffet under a built in china-cabinet (its an old house built in 20s.) and I have plenty of clearance so I don't have to move anything to use it but I might give that a try if I have I can keep it looking decent. Like I said before I mostly use the astra gourmet and super jolly that's in my home office day to day. I mostly use the ct1/hg-1 on off days or really interesting beans.
>>21933753See if you can find some Dycem or something similar. Bought a reel years ago to stick down my flair. Very effective.https://www.dycem-ns.com/dycemshop/product/non-slip-reel/>>21933757Pretty sure launch MSRP was $950.
>>21933764idk what to tell you dude. It was 12 years ago. I had just moved back to the US and wanted to upgrade from the baratza maestro that I left behind which had served me well and I liked Baratzas CS before the Breville buyout (which also ruined polysci) and the fact that I could easily purchase and replace the parts myself. There weren't a ton of other options at the time and I have never struggled to get a good cup of filter out of it. Its not even like I'm recommending the thing. Obviously in 2026 I would buy something else but I haven't had to replace any of my gear in ages.
This will be my plan for making mochas at work
>>21933781>sugar
>>21933785yes Karen, it's sugar
>>21933776>I have never struggled to get a good cup of filter out of itWith all the money you've pumped into grinders, you could easily have an EK43. Instead you're stuck with like $400 of entry level flats, the shittier robur cone, the shitty 68mm compak cone, two junk lidos, and a c40.>haven't had to replace any of my gear in agesYou should consider it. I think you'd really appreciate it.https://youtu.be/piuj7Nw3x1Q?t=208
>>21933794tiny asian twink can't turn a man's grinder
>>21933781go to grocery store, buy a bag of cocoa powder and a bag of sugar in the same weight then throw them into a airproof container after mixing. wa la.
in fact im having a coffee right now!

DAE hate coferments?
>>21934645i hate the coferment hate.
>>21934230kekked and rekt
>>21934182>drinking out of those plastic-lined cupsIt's like you guys want to become sterile
>>21932533Here's a good one: when's the last time you got coffee from a coffee vending machine? Do those even still exist? Remember the really old ones that had chicken soup too for some reason?
>>21934712When my grandpa was dying in the hospital I'd park myself in the 9th floor lounge, chug vending machine coffee, and watch Days of Our Lives.
>>21934712i bet there's a Moccamaster in there.
>>21934712There is something to be said about the slow death of the vending machine. Some of the best coffee I ever had was in a plastic cup that plunked down from one of those machines in a summer camp in southern France. It was the feeling of feeding those heavy coins into the slot, one euro in all, one and twenty with milk. It probably still costs the same, if that machine is still there - hell, if that school is still there. I remember drinking it in a hot, dim hallway washed in yellow light that bounced off the sticky painted walls. My hand smelled like salt and ink each time I brought the pale yellow plastic cup up to drink.
>>21934846ok but this time without chatgpt
>>21934712I think 2004 or so at the DMV.
>>21934712Rest stops still have them in several regional states. I think I get french vanilla if I'm that desparate. It's just hot water and some instant coffee & sugar powder blend. Anyone, who has ever opened these things up, knows how nasty the sugar hoppers get caked up. That's why I assume dessert fast food machines are down so often. Everyone is too damn lazy to clean them out. When I was little the college had one like the picture. It was 35 cents / tiny cup.
>>21934230Mogged him
>>21934124self-harm is never the answer
could you do pour over without a cone at all?like if you put 4 clips on the edge of the filter paper and then suspended it above the cup with cablesit would hold the shape of the filter from the top.
>>21935720jesus christ just buy a plastic or metal cone on amazon for 15.
>>21935741no i was just thinking theoretically.all these cone designs saying this that and the other for influencing how it flows or brews or whateverwhat if, no cone?
https://vocaroo.com/11HdLI9yAUhwWhats the shf equivalent of coffee machines?
>>21935779is that baki?
>>21935782yesI had 3 big cups of coffee today. Whats your average chuds?
COFFEE TODAY
When did you realize you need to change your grinder settings per bean
>>21935928this is untrue. I have never once changed my ginrder setting once I got it the way I like it.I only change ratio and water temperature
>>21935720Yes, and it would brew better coffee than any filter holder ever could.
I fell for the kingrinder meme
>>21935941lol I wishIf this were the case for everybody, we could just order 'prescription' grinders/burrs permanently locked at our preferred grind-size.
>>21935996>I fellwell get up.no point laying around all day.
>>21935992neat
>>21935996>Im too lazy to move my arms
its 3am should i eat breakfast first or make coffee(v60) first?OH! i said i was going to talk about a coffee i had that was good(and then forgot about it)ill do that now.its this and it has a pretty accurate list of tasting notes.weird but it reminds me of when you put too much lemon on fish and chips, but in a good way.i haven't done it as espresso yet, but its nice and buttery in both moka and pour over.a good smooth brew :)also i got my new burrs for the super jolly today, just genuine stock mazzer burrs as i felt i should just keep it simple(and cheap)but i have to clean the rest of the grind chamber and i simply have no idea how to do that. so ill update on the super jolly once I've gotten past that.should i use cafiza? like i use for back flushing. i was also thinking isopropyl alcohol, but i really have no idea.i know cafiza sells grinder cleaning pellets but those are just for the burrs right? that wouldn't do a deep clean on grime left to sit for many years would it?also the bottom burr carrier is pretty stuck on, im not sure if i need to remove it but its in the grind chamber so maybe it would be good to clean that as well as i can too and i dont know if i can do that without taking it out.anyway, thanks for reading my blog.
how often do you clean your manual grinders?usually don't have problem with them but i get paranoid that it'll get issues if i dont clean them after usecurrently using kingrinder p2
>>21936127I'd use iso, toothpicks, and a toothbrush. Jam paper towels into spots to soak up drips.>genuine stock mazzer burrsGrim :/ You should turn it into a pourover grinder to contrast your hg1.
>>21936306ok>You should turn it into a pourover grinder to contrast your hg1.well ill do everything just to try it out but it would be fun to test that specifically.>Grim :/ sure but ssp' are $400, IF i end up fully, genuinely owing this grinder forever AND i like it, then who knows, i might splurge for ssp or something a little cheaper.but that hypothetical is WAY down the line.(Fellow Ode Gen2 64mm Burrs only $130, Mazzer Super Jolly Red Speed Blades $200)

Do you guys crave coffee? Me personally I never do. I do like it a lot but I only drink it when I go outside. If I'm sitting at home or I'm at the office I have zero coffee needs. The dogshit coffee at the office especially I refuse to touch.
>>21936365yeh but is that in australia?in aud?
>>21936370The chinese take all currencies :)
>>21935997You literally can.
>>21936251what is this p urple frog like creature?
>>21936251Pretty rarely. My beans aren't super oily and my grinder doesn't get a lot of static build up. I probably clean it out once every 4 months or so.
>>21936306wrong guy
>>21936610idiot
>>21936675What the fuck is your problem, dude? You've been a faggot all thread.
>>21936711have a sookand that guy is an idiotit isnt the wrong guy.its the right guy, me.im the guy.2 people in here have a super jolly2 people in here have a hg1i have a hg1p 2022.i have a heavily used and then left uncleaned for a decade super jolly.you're a retard.
I started drinking more coffee recently, and now I get this weird pain/sensation on the right side of my neck right under my jaw. Feels like where a saliva gland is but I don't know for sure. Feels swollen. What is this? Coffee causes this? But why?
Should I get SL-28, JARC 74158, or both?
>>21936977I'll have a coffee to go, thanks.
>>21936798Temperature sensitivity means go to a fucking dental.
Manually grinding your coffee is like slavery
sipped some red honey costa rican caturra this morning, pretty good coffee. i have a manual grinder but i only use my electric one btw
>>21932533Yay coffeeI like using a mokapot just because my grandparents used to
Peet’s Big Bang is the freshest coffee I can find near me. Unless I want to roast my own over a skillet. But you know, it’s good.
i made coffee
What does everyone think of Turkish coffee?
>>21937667Won't try it out of principle
>>21937667it's good but i don't drink out of small cups
>>21937701What principle is that?>>21937884Why not?
>>21937931i'm a big guy and i only drink out of big cups
Just found out the reason my espresso has been sucking ass lately was my Gaggia's group head gasket was rock hard.If you ever get water flowing around your portafilter, its likely because your gasket is done for.
>>21937992This is why you get two espresso machines.
>>21937992portafilter sounds like something that belongs in a portapotty
hmmm time to slurp me some more brown liquid from the porta. This one has hints of melon and peruvian honey dipper.
>>21938054This but unironically.
>>21937667i don't like eating sand
>>21938357sipping issue

i am bored of my beans.i am bored of:>Colombian Tolima>Guatemalan Huehuetenango>Panama Boquete>Peruvian Chancamayo>Mexican ChiapasI did actually try some peaberry that was pretty good. all of these are central or south american so maybe i need to go back to Africa or something. any suggestions for non-hispanic beenz?
>>21938600your natural process burundi?your natural process fermented robusta?
>>21938600just like real lifeget some african big naturals
>>21938608
>>21938607I'll check em out. last time i got some african i couldnt dial in the grind right and idk if its the process or the actual bean that determines the grind level. but I'll figure it out.>>21938608my local uppity grocer roasts their own beenz so I'll check out the afro naturals and report back.
>>21938600yeah those are some boring ahh beans
>>21933329am I doing something wrong? I have a Kingrinder K6 and for 18-20g of coffee it takes me about 15-20 seconds to grind for V60, usually while my water is warming up. Surely you're not complaining about this little work?
>>21938832manual grinding is tedioust. fell for the kingrinder meme
>>21938832>am I doing something wrong?>I have a Kingrinder K6yes
>>21933329>
>>21938933Maybe you could hook a soybot up to it?
we back!
>>21938637what are some less boring beans?>>21938607>>21938608no natural burundi only honey process.. but I'll try it even though i think I've not had good luck with honey process in the past.the only Natural Africans i can find are both from Rwanda - Gatebe and Kavumu, both are bourbons. I'll try one of those too.

>>21939204honey is an inferior natural but its better than washed when it comes to African(Ethiopia is the exception)>>21939208>Wave Hybrid: The ripe coffee cherries are handpicked, floated to remove underripe fruit, pulped, and fermented for 36-72 hours before washing and soaking in spring water. The parchment is dried first on skin tables and then on raised beds for 9-12 days.
>>21939211>This hybrid method combines elements of natural and honey processing in a way we’ve personally never encountered before. The result isn’t simply a midpoint between the two styles; it feels layered, almost like adding the best parts of each. We’ve long been fans of the Wave Natural Sidras of the past—juicy, punchy, and loud, but this complex process is a unique and different presentation of their wonderful sidra trees.
>>21939215okay but what does it taste like
>>21939234coffee
Got timemore c5 few months back and it was really good, so I bought timemore scale as well and that shit broke in 3 months. Please recommend me a good scale that has a timer and won't break for years. Replaceable batteries a plus. I can spend up to $100 for it.
>>21939239Hoffmemer just put up a scale video.
>>21939241Issue with these type of charts is it never shows long term use. My timemore is listed there, and it ended up having constant shifting scale until it died in not even half a year. I need something that can last.
>>21939246I've had my acaia lunar for 5+ years. Zero issues.>Replaceable batteries a plus.They replace your battery and service your scale for like $30. I haven't had to do that yet. Battery still lasts weeks in between charges. You get what you pay for. Lunar has been out since 2015. Long before the budget chinese wave of random accessories. Built for long term cafe use.
>>21938832no, these people are retarded or dyel. grinding coffee takes no time or effort. it's done before the kettle comes up to tempor they're making espresso, in which case they signed up for autistic fussy annoying shit and can't complain
>>21939246>I need something that can last.hario drip scale lasts a good whileim surprised it wasnt on his list honestlydoesnt fit on an espresso machine thomade for filter as the name implies.
>>21939254>$250Dang nvm. Everything sounds perfect, but that's out of my price range. >>21939275Seems pretty good, I use pourover only so espresso doesn't matter. Looks budget as hell for $60, but ig that's the price for a name brand. I'll try it out, thanks.
>>21939294hario one is a meme iircI heard good things about https://bookoocoffee.com/products/bookoo-themis-ultra-coffee-scale
>>21939328>hario one is a meme iircby what metric?it weighs coffee and counts timewhat more do you want for $60?
>>21939348>by what metricbeing $60 based on the hario brand name, and not the actual quality or worth of the scale
>>21939351Like their kettles and grinders.
>>21939328Talking about meme scales while posting one with a proprietary app is wild
>>21939204they didnt have any of the stuff it showed online so i got some ""microlot"" anaerobic natural ethiopian from some place that wasnt yirgacheff or worka sakaro. i ground it too fine but it turned out pretty tasty. i havent tasted higher acid light roasts in a really long time so at least it's something new.
>>21939364you can use the scale without the app should you wish, mr stallman, sir

ok coffee is too expensive, what can i do about it? no, i will not get a job.kirkland 3lb cans are like $24 and that shit dont even last makin my 12 cup pot daily, i also want to have some decaf on deck, but that's the same price too which is too much
>>21940237You need to change method. You aren't going to get coffee beans for much cheaper than that.3 pounds is 1.2 kilos, how are you going through that in a day? 1.2 kilos would take me at least 6 weeks to get through with 3 to 5 shots per day on my superautomatic.
>>21940237why are you drinking so much coffee? you're unironically gonna get kidney disease if you drink 12 cups per day and also decaf and also whatever else you're guzzling all day. why dont you try cutting down on the coffee and supplementing your daily caffeine needs with comparitively cheaper tea bags? tea has more caffeine anyway. you can make a strong liter of tea with 5 or so bags. you can get 100 bags for $5. thats at least 20 days you can supplement your caffeine intake and stretch your coffee a little.also drink more water.
>>21940237>no, i will not get a job.then die
>>21940245no not in a day but it doesnt last very long, there are other coffee drinkers in the la casa>>21940256i drink maybe 4 cups just because the mug i use is kinda big and i usually have 2ur spittin a lil with that tea noise but idk thats a topic for a diff thread>>21940261that's what moustache man said about the vaccine but i'm still standing

>>21940313you're retarded>>21940316he's retarded
Bought these today, also looked at an apartment for sale almost within sight of the roastery. Would be nice to have good coffee as a neighbor
>>21940313sasuga, anon
>>21940327Well he posts animu on cooking boards. Really goes without saying.
>>21934712I saw one of these in the basement of the hospital I used to work at. Never tried it and wondered who did, since you could get marginally better coffee in the cafeteria.
>>21940467>marginally better coffee in the cafeteriaHow would you know? You never tried it.
>>21940472Yeah, I remembered halfway through typing that I did have it once late at night. Was just too lazy to go back and correct. Anyway it was shit.
>>21940462yes but its fun to say it
>>21940467cant complain about $1 coffee
>>21940467I like the sign on the front. It's not a specific brand. It's not got a slogan or advertising garbage like shitty stock images of a black woman and a white man drinking a coffee. It just says what it is.
>>21940499>what it is.well...

what's the best instant coffee? this stuff is okay but I'm wondering if tasters choice or something might be the same or better without the thing, japan upcharge. bustelo is also okay but I'm sick of it.
>>21940824all I can say is that tasters' choice is shit
>>21940824there's good specialty instant coffee now but it's expensive
>>21940807nothingi live above 3 different bakeries.a "normal" one, a Vietnamese one and a french onei can only smell them right when they first turn on their exhaust fan for about 40 minutes and then it goes away for some reason for the rest of the day.but today it was a very sweet buttery smellgot me in the mood for a coffee so i made one :)had just enough in the bag for a cup
tf is 7 Brew? There were 6 blocks of cars waiting for that slop.
>>21940818The way I make them they're like a baked custard crossed with a pancake. It fills up a whole skillet and takes 6 eggs, a cup and three quarters of flour, a cup and a half of whole milk, and three table spoons sugar + spices. I usually split one over two days.
>>21940971Oh also three tablespoons butter
What is this handle grip called? Or is it just a leather spiral strap?

>>21932533damn i used to go there with my graduate advisor for coffee and/or beer (the great thing about coffee shops in Austin is that they all serve beer for when you're done working and the sun goes down) back when downtown was a ghost town after 5pm. i remember the bike couriers used to hang out there too.

What's with the sudden narrative shift to hating co-ferments all of the sudden?
>>21940824Luminous was great.
>>21942712because low quality producers have been adding artificial flavors to ferments of low quality beans and not disclosing it properly(and pricing it the same as high quality beans and ferments) leading to gross "co-ferments" and tainting the namefucking over the legit co-ferment producers.at least thats what ive gathered of the situation
>>21942712>ctrl-f coferment>3 posts, bitching about (absent) people bitching about coferments
>>21942735hes talking about reddit
>>21942736then he should ask themanyway the shit's nasty, I don't know why anyone liked them in the first place. taste the terroir
>>21942738most of the ones i have had have been pretty mild
>>21942712Homebarista is and always has been a home for the biggest coffee retards in the world.
>>21942746yeh but every community needs a backbone of retards
>>21942748Its not called HomeBoomer for nothing. Kind of makes sense the old school 212f flat 9 bar ristretto crowd hates newer coffee styles.
>>21942745I usually can't make it through a bag without getting annoyed, and either way the problem is that it's an unauditable mystery box
>>21942794>unauditable mystery boxFor me its the $50/lb JBM blend. $45/lb Kona blend is a close second.
I have to quit coffee. Oh no. I think it’s hurting my thyroid or something.
>>21932533>cozy little local coffee shop>9.50 for a cup of shit coffeelol. you keeps your nasty beans.
recommend me some new subscriptions
>>21942374>200 dollar grinderholy shit.
>>21942805but coffee roasters I buy from don't sell that stuffand they definitely haven't started trying to pass it off as natural processed or anaerobic coffees
>>21942846>subscriptions
>>21942978you're right. My hg-1 does pretty well with Seattle's Best.
>>21942447i have it dialed. brew a cup and leave it in the carafe for 15 minutes. perfect cup every time.
So glad I didtched my timemore scale. That thing was ass.
>>21942736reddit loves them>>21942738i've had some very good ones, but i prefer a natural.
>>21942733No way, that's hilarious. What trash brands are doing this? I mostly buy from roasters that are known to make great stuff, but every so often i stray that path to find something novel.Reddit can cry all they want, I'm gonna sippa my hydrangea juicy strawberry.
>>21943262perc and S&W from what i can see being talked about.but often its just endless vague posting, pointing fingers at the ever illusive "roasters"but also redditors being paranoid and wrong, tasting something a bit "too" funky or sweet and coming to the conclusion that it MUST be a fraudulent co-ferment.
>>21943315nah S&W would never
>>21943325im just saying what reddit says
>>21943327sorry i read your reply as calling me a liar but its probably not written in that way.
I bought one store brand of instant coffee and it tastes good. Then I bought another store brand of instant coffee (from another store, this time decaf, and in their posh range) and it tastes much worse.Maybe in the future I will avoid store brand and buy name brand instant coffee instead.You could say I should drink proper ground coffee, and sometimes I do, but instant coffee is way less effort (doesn't require cleaning out my french press).
>>21943338only buy specialty instant coffee
>>21943249which model was it? I have this one and it's worked perfectly for like 4 years now
>>21943378It was a version after that I think. the one that has the flap to cover the USB port. Got rid of it because the computer was unresponsive and the touch controls were too responsive. made for a bad experience.
>>21943391that's a shamewhat'd you replace it with?
>>21943398bookoo themis
>>21943262>>21943315>What trash brands are doing this>perc and S&WRoasters are not fucking with greens. Roasters are buying greens. Producers MAY be adulterating beans during processing with synthetic/"manmade" flavorings to raise the selling price of lesser quality grows and lying to importers, who then sell said greens to roasters who redditors bitch about.
y'all drug addicts
>>21943757>y'all
I stopped drinking coffee 4 months ago
>>21943401how's it working out, do you use any of the tech shit? I kinda wanna profile my pours to try and get more consistent
>>21943780It's pretty good and responsive. long battery (still at 60% from when I bought it) the screen is great. I use the bluetooth for bean weight tracking and pour timing logs.
>>21943777I stopped today and I'm starting again tomorrow.
>>21939241A lot of silly Bri'ish nonsense just to tell us that the coffee scale market is oversaturated with overpriced name-brand toys. The beeps comparison was kino though.
>>21939241>F E A T U R E >C R E E P
>>21943912"I quite like that beep"."...no, not a good beep. It's just a bit up in your business"."Double beep...*shakes head* hm-hm.""It's a popular beep. But it's not for me.""Lacks length.""I would expect for the money a more luxurious beep."
>>21932533bro is there something that is a slight step up from a mokapot? Maybe a more premium mokapot (better materials). Don't respond to be with some fucking $200+ thing. I just want to up my game a bit.
>>21933329Lol weak-willed cuck. I actually bought one to limit my caffeine consumption, or else I'd drink way more coffee.
>>21943427I think some of them definitely are. Dak for instance. I've had some of the exact same beans Dak uses from a different roaster and the shit Dak is pulling out of them compared to other similarly competent roasters with the same beans is more than just a roast profile. I doubt they are the only ones. Something has definitely changed in parts of the specialty world and I don't think its just down to new processing methods. Used to be you would get a really fruity african, fruit bombs as it were, and it would have really strong NOTES of, say, blueberry but now you get shit that just straight up does taste like, say, a jolly rancher or notes of warm spices versus straight up overpowering cardamom. We've somehow went from flavor notes to just flat out flavors.

>>21944086Sure, you can buy a nicer moka pot, but it will still brew the same coffee as a standard moka pot. The next step up would be an espresso machine which would exceed your budget.

What's a good coffee scale that has physical buttons AND doesn't suck ass AND doesn't cost more than 100 USD?Yes I already watched the Hoff video. The only one with nice physical buttons there cost 200 USD lmao.
>>21944163have you tried looking at scientific scales meant for labs(aka not ones regular consumers or "civilians" would know exist)especially ones sold at surplus stores?
what's the deal with MHW-3BOMBER. why is it all military themed. why did a coffee grinder need to be called a "sniper". did a vet do this
>>21944086induction moka pot
>>21944172chinks who like western military stuffwho copy coffee gear and sell it for lessliterally
>>21944172no idea, it's all made in china or whatever. i think it's a viet company. I own their hill bomber carafe and it's great.
>>21944163These things used to be a popular meme, I still use mine and only had to swap it's battery after like 2 or 3 years of use. You used to be able to get them for cheaper but they're still only like $15 or less, you can get them off of amazon or unbranded on aliexpress, although they're harder to find on ali than they used to be.
kino desu
>>21944163physical buttons wear out
>>21944199nah
>>21944202and they're more expensive to waterproof
>>21944204skill issue
>>21944204nah, thats a bunch of malarkey
>>21944172>MHW means Make Heart Warm; 3 means that we have 3 founders ; Bomber means our brand want to bomb the tradition and redefine coffee industry with special new product design!
>>21944208you're right
>>21944211Cringe
>>21935779All you guys needed to do was drop the girl shit, not continue making a convoluted mess based on a misunderstanding that will continue to perpetuate a mistake that I was working hard to fix.
>>21944086Wacoco bike pump presso. Flair Neo 2. Used robot. Used gaggia. All sorts of pressured portafilter machines, like $50 delonghi or philips.
>>21944188That's a massive upsell on some Ali kit though.
>>21944126they'd have better ROI making a metal aeropress
what's your pour-over recipe? fucked mine up.Maybe I should be using an immersion style one instead of a pourthrough. I have a switch but wanted to find a pourthrough that worked well
Pre-heating a french press before brewing is useless because the coffee is going to stay immersed for a while in there anyway and no flavors will be lostTrue or false?
>>21944232duh, it's a chinese brand
>>21944332I went back to french press. I'm not using the quality of beans where I value pour over clarity.
after dinner moka :)
>>21932552Unfiltered coffee raises cholesterol by some chemical altering metabolism in the liver.

All right, let's give these bad boys a try.
>>21940281Why do you talk like that?
>>21944151Can someone who knows about coffee explain the point of drinking it with a side of sparkling water?Or was it just to make the video longer?
Starting my coffee journey. Thoughts on timemore glass dripper? Or should I keep it simple with hario v60?
>>21944929Clear the palette maybe, or he just likes it
>>21944941Just get the v60
>>21944941get a hario switch
>>21944941Grim.
>>219443321:15 and 195f, split into 5 pours, start the next one right before the coffee starts drying out
I make iced coffee with instant coffee and dried milk. What do you think a bout that? Sometimes I add splenda or a splash of that coffee syrup brand that's super expensive. I also like very high quality coffee but my daily drink is instant and instant milk with ice.
>>21945221Why instant milk? You don't stock fresh milk in your fridge?
>>21945221who cares
>>21945385No I do not. I don't use milk except for coffee and it takes up a lot of fridge space that I do not have since I have several roommates.
>soup shot craze going on>realize Adler's original recipe was a soup shot>try it out>1:6 ratio inverted brew with light roast beans and 94c water, steeped under a minute, gentle press>it's really good>dilute it back to 1:16 ratio>it's still really goodOld man had it right all along.>>21944941V60 switch and an aeropress. Both of these don't require gooseneck kettles to use. Also cafec filters for the switch. People seem to like the T90 and Abacas.
>>21946262The guy who uses ap filters 30+ times wasnt right about anything.
Thinking of getting a Luminous sub. Why are there so many options though and why is it so hard to read shit on there. I don't get where I need to go.
Newfag here. Thoughts on premix (3 in 1) coffee?
>>21946515You know you can do better. You can't do much worse.
>>21946262I just tried this and it was okay I guess
What hand grinders does anon recommend?I want to start grinding coffee beans and don't want an electric one which would be another appliance occupying yet another socket in my already busy kitchen. I only drink coffee that's brewed in a press.I have had a look online and see well reviewed ones by Comandante. What other brands are worthwhile? I don't mind spending a couple hundred Euros on a new toy so price isn't a turn off if it's actually good.
>>21946654Top tier (handheld) hand grinders in no particular order.>Kinu M47>1zpresso KUltra>1zpresso JUltra>1zpresso ZP6>Timemore x Millab 01>Comandante C40>Comandante C60Kinu and Comandante are made in Europe, the rest are Chinese.
>>21946654comandantes are kinda overpriced at this point. they're not bad or anything, but the ux is not as nice for what you're paying
>>21946708>the ux is not as nice for what you're payingYou can throw some more money into them now and get top adjustment and magnetic catch cups from StarWave.
>>21946654Take a look at the Femobook battery powered grinders. They're the best of both worlds. Cordless and about as portable as a hand grinder but with the convenience and consistency of an electric grinder. You only need to charge them once a month or so, and the batteries are standard replaceable 18650 cells.An A5 or A4Z with a cremaloop slowfeeder will perform at a level to where you'd probably need to go to one of the $1500+ flat burr grinders to get anything noticeably better.
>>21944187I have one of these, it wasn't really a good choice for me because I do pourover exclusively, and it's difficult to fit a carafe onto such a tiny surface area and still be able to read the measurement (I was using a Hario drip decanter at the time). Plus it has no thermal insulation so the heat will fuck up the reading. Furthermore, I prefer something that's USB-C rechargeable for something I use multiple times a day. I ended up getting a $22 Bagail scale, which solved all of those problems. No physical buttons, though, which is of course annoying sometimes when the timer "button" refuses to work. >>21944163You might look into a Coffee Gator scale for ~$25 if you don't mind having to use 2xAAA batteries.
>>21946737I mean yeah but why jury rig it when k ultras go on sale for like $200
>>21947021I also do pourovers but I do it directly into the cup so it's big enough for me. Also the batteries last such an absurdly long time that it being chargeable is irrelevant to me.
>>21947021>Coffee Gator scaleThanks anonymous. Roomy enough, I also do pour over exclusively so it might do the trick, but I don't really like the cheap buttons here either; they remind me of the two cheaper scales with physical buttons in the Hoff video. The needing AAA's is a bummer but not a deal breaker. Sidenote, I have no idea why the fuck they thought it was necessary to generate an AI picture of a cat eating food for their amazon page. Baffling.
>>21947401You could use eneloops.
any coffee from any actual roaster is now $20+ for a 12 oz bag at my grocery store.
>>21947535stop buying coffee at the grocery store.
>>21947558I can't I'm a poor retarded anime faggot.
>>21947567its literally less money and effort to order online
thinking bout that decaf desu
>>21947651Mom doesnt let use the credit card anymore after i ran up the bill with gacha pulls :/
>>21948038You disappoint me anon
new: >>21948080
>>21944929>>21944952Supposedly a palette cleanser, yeah.It's upselling at its heart.
>>21949230it makes sense in a cafe/bar when they can do it basically free, my local cafe already offers free sparkling water on tapit makes no sense to crack open a bottle to take 2 sips
