>>21995324Personally I prefer tea
First for mooka pot
>>21995324PISSOUTMYASS
>>21994258>ChemexJust get a No. 4 or bigger filter. Pre-wetting is justifiable with the mass of the folding squares, if you keep using them. >>21995336That cow tool is nuts.
Got a Moka Pot and honestly I like my shitty drip machine better. Quicker to brew, easier to clean up and I can't discern any difference in taste. Also I end up with some very fine grounds in my cup when I use the Moka Pot.3/10 overrated
>>21995324I love this guy. Out of all the faggots on YouTube, he's my favorite faggot on YouTube. I want him to make me a good Americano.
>>21995336Shame it was discontinued
>>21994599Is Ethiopian Harrar the new JBM?
>>21995434buy better coffeeor dont, idgaf>>21995637no
>>21995434Add an aeropress filter, makes it way better
>>21995425>chemexi just use regular coffee pot filters folded into a cone. I'm not paying $50 for some brown paper.
>>21995434the moka is shit
I got nothing out of the Hoffman americano videoSometimes I make a pseudo espresso and therefore pseudo americano with an aeropress but pour over is just better
>>21995960>I got nothing out of the Hoffman americano videohes run out of relatable contentexcept for that scale video, that was good.but when he gets too "science-y" it just falls apart
>>21995960it was a little retarded>sometimes I go to cafes and they don't do drip. the solution is to ask the barista (probably not even the person taking the order) to make hot steam wanded water
>>21995975>the solution is to ask the baristaOne time I learned how to make pizza better so I could ask Papa John to do it for me.
>>21995917seconding this
>>21995981if it was for home drip enthusiasts, they'll just make drip without the $1k+ in gear to recreate it mediocrelyif it was for baristas trying to appeal to people who prefer drip, there's no way for customers to know a cafe is serving steam-wanded water, those people aren't the current base who order espresso drinks and like them as-is, and they'd more likely just add batch brew to the menusomehow telling baristas they're doing it wrong is the least retarded scenario
>>21995994>why is this former World Barista Champion turned large roastery owner/leading home brewing youtuber showing people how to improve their espresso based drinks?
>>21995981Sometimes you just don't have the dough on hand, man.
>>21995324Ctrl+F & no results for Costa Rica, you guys might as well be drinking sootwater with roasted penis.
>>21996028Ok but do you own a Vandola anon. They're nice
>>21996032Looks pretty, but I don't like ceramics for hot food because of the glazes, also looks kinda cumbersome.
>>21996046I would like to do a blind test to see if the claims about the little hole at the back helping with oxygenation (and thus bringing out more flavor/aroma) are true. I've been enjoying mine for a few months of daily use and love it. There's different sizes, but I got one of the bigger ones (~1 liter).
Oh great the third world poopsocks are back.
>>21996000>formeryeah, 20 years ago.and who (just like lance) likes filter more than espresso and constantly pushes anti-espresso rhetoric
>>21996058Interesting anon, so it's like a Venturi mechanism? Y'should compare to forcing gas whilst brewing the coffee.
>>21996061>constantly pushes anti-espresso rhetoricYou don't have to be a sperg you know? You can just drink coffee.
>>21996063>Venturi mechanismI don't think so, at least I haven't heard anyone mention that coffee suddenly flowing faster at the narrow part connecting both chambers is doing something to affect flavor—the Chemex also does that. The main difference with the Chemex is that it has both the small hole at the back and the spout connected to the brewing chamber, so you never have the issue of filter paper sticking to the method. As for how the flow of oxygen into the brewing chamber affects the coffee as it is brewing, I have no idea>compare to forcing gas whilst brewingHow do you mean?
>>21996082Like with a bubbler and a pump, or many small concatenated waterfalls and just using gravity, seen some still designs that use the same concept but backwards,
>>21995324Well this looks pretty legit. Looks like i need to pick up a cappucino cupI hope other anons are waking up with nice coffee too
>>21996278>its uniformi thought that was foam on top that had a little coffee in it. All foam is bullshit, this is just milky coffee.
>>21996278>>21996282>it's still tastes pretty good and has and interesting texture this concludes today's episode of the mukka pot saga
>>21996000did you watch the first 30 seconds of the video you're defending
>>21995339('-')7
>>21996028Its prime season for Africans and out of season for Central Americans like Costa Rica.
>>21995324Stop consuming cortisol seed juice. Stop playing with your body's natural sleep wake up feedback loop.Get jobs that let you nap in the afternoon, drink no coffee or tea, eat low salt food, lead low stress lives. Money means nothing, being relaxed is more important. The gods didn't create you to slog for me shekelberg but to relax and meditate on their glory and divineness
>>21996377There is only one. God and his name is Amunra
Just made the best coffee ever by reducing my bloom time by 1 minute
I finally saw Hoff's new videoReally want a warm aerocano now.
>>21996424>by 1 minuteso you have a -30 second bloom?
>>21996428from 1:45 to 0:45.
>>21996436>1:45get faster filters
>>21996458They're very fast. I like long blooms because my roast is very light. Seems like I need to get shorter and shorter blooms as it ages though
>>21995324Why should i listen to this lesbian about anything to do with coffee?
>>21996469because lesbians are very good at working their beans
Would you try lithium coffee?
>>21996534no thanks, i'm not a battery
>>21996306Where the fuck do you think I got the pic for the OP?
>>21996604Answer the fucking question, son.
>>21995324God I hate this smug faggot.
>>21996642Youtubers can't present hypotheticals without confusing and angering their autistic audience.
>>21996534what the fuck
>>21996604>>21996667you seem like 105 iqjust because it's a framing device doesn't mean it's not incoherent
>>21996534>teleports into your coffee>cures your anxiety and depression nothing personnel kid
I make cold brew overnight from coarse-ground coffee made from the cheapest whole beans I can source, and then mix it with storebought creamer to take to work. It just werks for me.
>>21995975baristas watch Hoffman too. if it actually produces better results there's no reason they wouldn't at least try it unless they're working at a shitty chain. >>21995960the real question is whether steam-wanded water is better for pourover as well.
>>21996948>the real question is whether steam-wanded water is better for pourover as well.i wonder if you could increase the oxygen content of water by just agitating the hell out of it. when i shake up my half-empty jugs of mineralized water, they seem to get a bunch if bubble but that might not be comparable to the steam wand. is there even a non-industrialized way to measure that?>https://milwaukeeinstruments.com/milwaukee-ma860-galvanic-dissolved-oxygen-probe/>400 dollarydoosoof. wonder if the hoff would bite the bullet on that one
>pourover circle jerk outjerked again by people buying $4000 espresso machines just for the steam wandits gonna happen you know
>>21996997you can get a bellman for less than 200though i suppose its not a very well known product...
Sippin on coffee. Pondering why youtubers youtube.
I just made a pour over that tastes sort of sour... like hot lemon drink. I don't like it. Weird thing is that I used pretty much the same recipe I always do and even the same coffee. It's not specialty coffee but it wasn't bad. I'm not sure I understand what went wrong. Could it have been the coffee itself aging that did it? It was only a few days apart
>>21997031...money and boredom? An assertion of existence in an increasingly impersonal world?>>21997049Are you actually keeping track of your process or are you just spitballing?Coffee won't change very much over the scale of a few days unless it's stored improperly. So it's probably something else unless you're leaving it in an open container on the counter.
>>21997064Yea I've weighed and timed my shit. I guess I'll try Hoff French Press next to sort of get an idea of what this coffee is supposed to taste like once it's been properly extracted and figure out what I'm doing wrong in the pour over
>>21997021oh i know but the "people" im referring to either know and dont care or dont know and dont want to know
What temperature should different coffees be brewed at? I've heard the general rule is ~90C for lighter roasts and ~85C for darker because you don't want to burn the cof. But then I see other people advocating for pouring boiling water on top. So I'm confused
>>21997089>~90C for lighter roasts and ~85C for darkerits actually the opposite
>>21997103oh...
>>21997114just found this...I had no idea that Washed + Fermented existed. I thought all Natural was fermented. Oh no I don't know anything
>>21997122i was just fucking with you btwbut brew temp is relatively low on the list of importance to how a brew tastesgrinder, grind size, dose, pouring technique, water imo matter morelike you can start at 100c every brew but change the grind size a couple clicks and have a greater taste difference than starting at 90c
>>21997122All coffee undergoes fermentation.
>>21997083There are plenty of other factors that influence a brew, as anon has pointed out.>>21997122Just a guess, but that chart's usage of the word fermentation in that context probably just refers to an extended fermentation period compared to more conventional processes.
I wonder what Lance has to say about watered down espresso
>>21997188I thought that was his gimmick
>>21996377but I like feeling anxious and overstimulated
I'm in Copenhagen tomorrow, is April the place to visit or has it been supplanted as the master hispter shop?
>>21997655Why do you care? Just go. They also have a few locations.
>>21997655go to the coffee collective too while you are there
>>21996948I think he said in the video that water from a kettle is good, so I think the steamed water is just a convenient way to do it without needing a kettle. With filter you'd be using a kettle anyway, so doubt there's much of a difference if any in taste
Haven't had coffee in a month...
>>21997122>tfw I live at 13000 ft and water boils at 86°Cit's all so tiresome
>take a sip of coffee in the morning>instantly gotta shit>come back and finish the cup>gotta shit againHow do I stop this ahhh I gotta shit so bad and on the train rn
>>21997898pretty sure he said steamed water is better than kettle for thisi'm too scared to an aerocano at my favorite cafe
>>21997985natural ferment for you
>>21997983why are you here>>21997898nah he said it didnt do the trick
>>21997990Shit before you leave retard.
>>21998027Take a guess lil guy.
>>21998033you enjoy hurting yourself
>>21998030I did, that's the point. There's a delayed reaction for second one.
>>21998000as god intended
>>21996666I was looking for reviews of the Makita coffee machine. And his was the pretty much the only one. He is such a soft-handed smug prick about it. Treats it like an absurd novelty. He acts like such a know-it-all, pretends he understands blue-collar worksites and can't imagine a practical use for it. His biggest complaint is battery usage. But, he used the smallest, lowest amp battery they make. Likely because it's the cheapest. And he didn't want to spend more money just to review it. But, anybody even thinking of buying that will already have a full range of Makita tools and batteries. So, it's obviously a non issue. If you understood. He also can't imagine working anywhere where it would be useful. But, like. heaps of trades work out of a van. Or in un-powered site huts. Or rural, way out in some paddock. There's a tonne of practical use for that thing. And he's so smugly dismissive. Even though he's so ignorant. But, I've seen a few of his vids since, and I think he's OK.
>>21998056>pretends he understands blue-collar worksites and can't imagine a practical use for itHe doesn't and makes it pretty obvious that he has no clue about what an actual worksite is like.
>>21998056Using the drill to grind with the correct battery size was funny.It was also funny to see him having problem articulating if the problem was the 260ml reservoir, using the small battery, or being redpilled completely on the Makita water boiler.
>>21998056Take a seat euromakita fags.
>>21998152You got me excited for a second there.
>>21998152This would make millions
>>21998056My biggest complaint of that thing is battery usage too. There's only so much energy in 5 or 10 18650s. Continuous duty tools drop tool batteries off like crazy. I'd rather hit the Bripe or go with a propane hotplate.
>>21998788>hit the Bripeexcuse me?
FUCK ORIGAMI PINN. Whose bright idea was it so you need to cut the filter paper EVERY TIME you want to use it???
>>21998847If you wanted a 60 degree dripper you could have easily bought any number of 60 degree drippers, including the original Origami. You intentionally ordered a 55 degree dripper.https://stanthonyind.com/products/c70-ceramics-brewer

Can someone recommend me a hand milk frother on amazon US? Cheapest that isn't shit, I don't wanna spend 50 on the nanofoamer
>>21999562Get the cheap Dreo instead. Frother + heater.https://www.amazon.com/Electric-Stainless-Microfoam-Automatic-Frothers/dp/B0FHWT41QK
>>21999562I got one of these about 2 years ago, works fine still. Only had to recharge it twice. Only minor downside is the push button mechanism to select the speed is linear so you have to push the button to cycle through low, medium, high, off. The highest speed is really fast and will make a mess everywhere if you aren't careful so keep that in mind.https://www.amazon.com.au/Dallfoll-Rechargeable-Adjustable-Bulletproof-Cappuccino/dp/B07RVLMGQ9
oh, brewing time includes the bloom
>>21997049>hot lemon drinkHigher brew temp, coarser grind, faster pour with more aeration. Or your milk's going off.
>>21999562They're mechanically simple. Find one without features/extra attachments.

I got this big fucker brand new on clearance for $280, after addressing the design flaw that is the leaky tank with a 2 cent o-ring it makes pretty darn good espresso. I haven't dialed it in completely yet, we'll see if it craps out I've got 30 days to return it.

I'm going outside tomorrow to get a haircut and I'll FINALLY be able to have coffee!
Can even one of you faggots explain why I should drink coffee?I thought not.1-0 to me filthy poo drinkers.
>>22001552reduces schizophrenic episodessuch as the one you are currently havingbut only if you have over 600mg per day>but cant i just take pillsno, caffeine in coffee is digested differently and effects your brain differentlycaffeine via pills just keep you awake, it doesnt provide any medicinal benefits

>>22001552You shouldn't. Leave the tasty beans for me.
who else eating pecans while sipping they coffee?
>>22002726cashews for me.
>>22001473mbro I jad thje nbest coffee ever butI also got wasted after im dying
PERC jacked up their prices wtf. Their regular perc up bag that was 12oz for $19 is now 13oz for $23. 13oz would be like $20 at old price. Damn shame.
>>22003169
PERC is mid as fuck. Just buy from better roaters that haven't jacked their prices
>>22003208perc is super affordable with the 30% off every month which is why people buy their stuff. i'll take recs of better roasters with 2lb bags that cost less than $40.
>>22003219who drinks that much every month
>>22003219S&W
>>22003229it's literally just 2 15g cups per day. or a 15g cup every 2 months. the point is you're buying it to be cost efficient.>>22003232plus shipping btw
>>22003232Huh
>>21995324I love energy drinks and during Lent this year I decided to give them up, to get my caffeine fix I started drinking coffee (which I despised) but, now that Lent is over, I have developed a little bit of a taste for it. I'm an ausfag and so I've just been drinking Lavazza grounds I've made in a plunger but now I'm curious as to what an actually good blend is meant to taste like. I live in Sydney so I'm curious if there's a specific blend anyone would recommend.
>>22003293Look no further. Top choice of Australians who drink and enjoy shitty blends.https://www.padrecoffee.com.au/products/daddys-girl-espresso-blend
>>22003239just drink better coffee and don't be pooor
How much coffee is too much coffee? Im on about 6 double espressos a day.
>>22003303wish padre didnt change their websiteits so much worse nowand you cant even look at sold out beansonce its gone its gone.so if you buy something and it leaves the store they delete the page for it which includes so much information that isnt printed on the bagbaffling decision.the thumbnails and product photos are worse too.shame.five senses and single-o are much better roasters in the current year.at this point i think the "Hi Fidelity" blend from five sense and the "Collider" blend from single-o are better.i dont really drink blends but ive had these 2 relatively recently and i think i liked them.
>>21997827went to coffee collective and prolog. Prefered prolog tbqh also the beans are cheaper.
>>21998056>There's a tonne of practical use for that thingName one that can't be done better with a kettle.
>>22003389How did you find April if you went?
>>22001301Why is that bad?
>>22003569They put a $20 hand grinder burr set into a $100 delonghi and charged $600.
>>22003530Didn't go. I already had beans from them so I wanted to try something new
>>22003303I'm not putting something called Daddy's girl near my mouth
Not good. Tastes like medicine? Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

What's everyone's thoughts on the homble "Mango Passion S0y Frappucino"?
>>22003829You have to actually let coferment coffee rest for 4 weeks minimum. Also grind it coarser than normal.
What's a good entry level electric grinder? I'm using a K6 atm and considering upgrading. Will be used for espresso, moka, and maybe drip.
Would you rather do McD's coffee or Taco Bell's coffee?
y'all got thoughts on my jap coffee? had a few bags of this over the years, it's been consistently good which in the UK is something of a miracle>>22004073neither but psychologically i can believe that a McCafe could accidently be good by way of the sheer volume of beans they must go through, a halfway ok cup must get produced from time to time.
>>22003904sounds vile>>22004058a hand drill>>22004073ill just do without>>22004096some of the best gesha ive ever had was brewed for me in tokyobrought home a bunch of beans, too. i found an adorable little roaster in suzuka and they sold me some fantastic natty ethiopian, pic rel
>>22004194Cool life bopping around Japan buying elite specialty beans, living good. Gesha seems to be very expensive, was it worth the money?
>>22004323>cool lifejust a nice vacation. gotta get back >very expensivei dont remember how much i paid though it couldnt have been much. this wasnt one of those tasting course experience things that people line up for hours to get, it was just a typical little cafe near the skytree. it was worth whatever i paid because it was a lovely experience. bought some fantastic black honey costa rican beans from them, too.
>>22004096i forgot to ask, are you implying that you bought those japanese beans in the uk or am i misinterpreting you
>>22003939this
>>22004058varia vs3/4niche zeroor buy a used mazzer off facebook marketplace for like $2-300 and refurb it yourselfor you could attach an electric drill to your k6
>>22004517Thanks I will check these out. Would one of those smaller hand drills work for the K6? Not interested in my impact driver sitting on the counter.
to the anon that doubted me, I sold out of my first roast. Very excited about what's to come.

>>22004358The Ueshima is from Waitrose, I'm not particularly specialized I just try to find the best I can in my area. How was Japan overall, as a tourist? I hear very mixed things but they seem like an interesting people.
How come sometimes my hand grinder handle/top feels locked by air pressure and I can't open it, and sometimes it's fine?
mmmm cofe time
>>22004771Basado
I've used the Kingrinder P0 for a year now. Since it's my first grinder, I have nothing to compare the grind quality against, but have no problems with it.Really wish it was larger though. It sucks having to grind twice just to make a half-litre pot, which I do semi-often.
>>22005197You gotta give it a lil smooch
>>22004942
>>22003389>prolog>>>/g/ is that way
My one good local roaster that bothers to do a decaf has kiked their prices 80% in less than one year. You guys have any current recommendations? Doesn't need to be single origin, just needs to be competently roasted and not aged out before it even ships, which is the problem with most online decaf even from "reputable" microroasters.
>>22005658Nescafe gold tastes just as good. It's all the same anyway
God damn this wushwush is wushwushin.
>>22005658Vilar Imports on ebay roasts day of shipping. Also priced really well.
cheeky afternoon moka :)
>>22006893art thou in communion with the bean ??
>>22006910perhaps
>>22004997>How was Japan overall, as a tourist?pretty great, id recommend it if the culture interests youive heard its worse if you have dark skin though
>>22004771First of all, congratulations!How did you handel business licensing / food safety compliance / business insurance / sales documentation / revenue taxation / payment and refund processing / mandatory business association membership etc. ??It takes so much fucking money and time to build up the beaurocratic infrastructure before you can even make the 1st sale, it's demoralizing.Genuinely, how did you push through that?
>>21995324>accidentally choked my DF64 to death by pouring in 150g of beans all at once>cleaned it out, got everything fixed>now my grind settings for espresso increased from a 9 to a 17Was my DF64 misaligned before I tore it open and put it back together?
>>22007877yes>choked my DF64 #1 reason i never recommend these grinderscheap yeah but everyone i see online talking about them both the 54 and 64 both gen 1 and 2 say they have horrible chocking/clogging issues that usually require full teardown and cleaning.ive seen some people say there is no problem and that baby sitting your grinder and doing a full clean every week is totally acceptable.crazy
>>22007914One retard chokes his grinder for every 1000 sold worldwide. The same retards would also choke an SJ by running bags of Starbucks french roast through them.
>>22008208>chokes his grinderyou think its user error?lollmao
>>22008213The user literally came here and told you his error.
>>22008216>grind coffee>clogsyep its totally user error that he didnt wdt and slow feed each bean individually to avoid cloggingmeanwhile literally any other grinder can grind kilos of dark oily beans all day with no cloggingtotally user error.DF GRINDERS ARE NEVER AT FAULTfuck outta here.
>>22008218>wdtrdt*oops
>>22008218>>22008221User ran 1/3 of a lb of beans through a (dirty) single doser and clogged it. The grinder is fine. If he had a slow feed disc or wasted money on a cremaloop it wouldn't have happened.
>>22008237>proving you have to babysit so it doesnt kill itselfgood lord man.
>>22008241https://nichespares.com/products/niche-flow-control-dischttps://weberworkshops.com/products/key-bean-feeder
>>22008243>slow feeders exist therefore every grinder has a secret clogging problem that no one ever talks abouti hope df pays you well for this shilling.
>>22008249>These single dosing grinders using hopper fed burr sets benefit from a controlled feed rateI've got a wug. Why would I need to shill for Zhejiang Feilai?
>>22008254slow feeders exist to improve taste or to help smooth out the effort required to grind higher density beansthey dont exist to stop cloggingyou can use a slow feeder on a machine that clogs to stop it from clogging but as i said earlier thats a machine issue not a user issue and its not the reason why slow feeders exist.>Why would I need to shill for Zhejiang Feilai?because shilling for cash is less pathetic than shilling for free as an unironic bootlicker.
>>22008260The grinder(and all grinders) can clog if you're feeding more beans INTO the burrs than coffee grounds are EXITING the burrs.>slow feeders exist to improve taste They do that by limiting the amount of regrinding happening. If grinds can't exit the burrs because there's shit in front slowing everything down, they take a few more spins and generate more breaks and fines. Some people will taste that.>or to help... higher density beansYes, higher density beans grind slower but feed at the same rate. Exacerbates the clogging and regrinding problem. You know the only thing that helps it? Slowing your feed rate so coffee can exit your burrs without clogging.
having a creamy one with some thicc double creem & brown sugar my brothers. It is the way to go. My schizophrenic mind tells me that the creem is buffering the bean for greater performance, like when you use DLSS to get Raytracing in Cyberpunk
>>22008265>there's shit in front slowing everything down,the only way this happens is if the grinder is designed badlygood grinders dont clog because grinds exit as fast as they are grounddf are bad grinders which is why they uniquely have this issuethe chinese dont care and dont offer refundsas long as they sell units they are happy.and people like you are allowing them to do that.sell bad products that retards endorse and blame the user if anything bad happens.
>>22008282>they uniquely have this issueYou'd only think this if you got the entirety of your grinder knowledge from reddit.
>>22008287im sure you know alot more about reddit and what they have to say than i do
>>22008310>>22008287wouldnt be surprized if i found out that you two both took active part in the development of Grindr

>>22008568Yeah, thanks. I haven't been a regular here since like, the election raids.
I think I put the wrong butter in my coffee
>>22008574Good to have you back. As you can see we've only gotten worse. You finally looking for an upgrade or what?
>>22008581I moved and have no equipment so I'm working my way out of instant territory lmao. Glad to be back - it's been a while
>>22008586MHW3 Bomber R3 is probably the best money spent right now. $120, 48mm, external adjustment, comes with 5 sifting screens, and it fits other 48mm burrs like the Kinu pourover set. Pretty sure it doesn't work with a drill tho if you were going that route.https://mhw3bomber.com/products/mhw-3bomber-precision-r3-manual-coffee-grinder-1
this guatemalan black honey got me wanting to travel internationally outside my comfort zone yall~
>>22007877Did you do the dry erase marker alignment process? I have one too, and the alignment is finicky, especially with the rubber mount for the burr.Also, don't forget to check that your indicator dial stayed properly zeroed. It can move around as you turn the burrs if it's touching, and the set screw can wiggle loose a little bit.>>22007914My cleaning needs reduced dramatically when I started doing RDT. I think the static screen and probes are doing less than nothing. You get what you pay for. If you're willing to fiddle with it, a DF64 is a nice step up in grind quality from the cheaper options on the market, but it's not as expensive as the "fancy" grinders. I'll probably be replacing it in the next year or two, since I have more money now and it's kind of a nuisance to be messing with it this much. I don't even know what's good right now, though, besides the EG-1, and I'm not able to piss away quite that much money.
>>22008265>The grinder(and all grinders) can clog if you're feeding more beans INTO the burrs than coffee grounds are EXITING the burrsuh, duh, preventing that is a design consideration for the grinder manufacturers>You know the only thing that helps it? Slowing your feed rate so coffee can exit your burrs without cloggingso why don't slow feeding discs come default with the grinder to solve this obvious and universal problem, it's 25 cents worth of sheet metal

>>22009730uuuuuuuuh tea i think
>>22009303>a blend from lidl with the rooster artworkOh I was randomly given a bag of that a few years ago. Not bad for pre-ground grocery store coffee.
>>22010024yes
>>22009487that requires a stove or plug in which the makita doesnti can admit that thats literally its only advantage however
>>22010161Makita makes a kettle that runs on the exact same batteriesHoff uses it in the video

>>2201017799% of people working construction are drinking instant. They don't need anything but hot water and a cup.

coffee and baked potato for breakfast :)
Coffee prices are gonna spike aren't they
>>22007071Thanks!Setting it up was the hardest part, but it's something I really wanted to do so pushed through by making lots of calls to the government to make sure all above board(may still have mistakes as they make them too when giving directions).Learning to roast has been fun but now that I'm trying a new varietal- I'm seeing how tricky it can really be, may have messed this one up but we shall see, if anything a learning experience,but as you pointed out- an expensive oneholy moly the upfront costs are bleak and wholesale/selling to cafe is pretty rough (especially since I'm so small- if I had bigger volumes and guaranteed buyers it'd be more viable) but starting out it's so tricky.Trying to figure out social media to increase sales, and how to make shipping cheaper too now but those eat up an incredible amount of time, and it's not clear what will 'draw' people in to commit to buying a new brand
>>22010505nope
>>22010505Coffee futures are in backwardation so it's expected to get cheaper over the next few months.
>INSTANT COFFEESo . . . does it have to 'brew' at appropriate roast type temperature . . . or can you just put the kettle on your max sippable temp out of the gates?
>>22010951You don't want boiling water for instant coffee. Even 80c is a bit high. Remember, you aren't using water to brew anything, you're rehydrating the coffee grain, and the heat is only to make it easier to mix, and to provide residual heat for the actual drink.If you only have a kettle, that is a 100c boiling temp which is well beyond, you should set the kettle to start boiling and finish about 10 minutes before you actually need and then pour the water into a cup to let it come down to temp then use it.The best way to make instant coffee is to get a good milk frother/mixer & heater (eg the breville milk cafe, although this is expensive, it's the best, cheaper alternatives exist) that will heat milk up to between 140f (60c) to 160f (70c), some let you pick, so you can experiment. Put in your water & milk, then add the coffee & any sugar and then run the froth/heat cycle.
>>22010951dont listen to that retard, pour boiling water on that bitch.
go coarser??
>>22011001>he doesn't pour boiling water into a cup then put the cup in the microwave or use a pressure cooker to make superheated water and use that for his instant coffee needs
>Listening to anything animefags have to sayCouldn't be me.
How do you make a good moka on these crappy electric hotplates with insane heat inertia?
>>22011204dispersion plate i guessor lift the moka off the heat to "regulate" it.similar to how they make turkish coffee in hot sandpush it in to get a burst of heat then take it out in order to not get too much heat and repeat until finished
How low of a dose can I do on V60?I like doing 10g coffee with 170g water, but r*ddit says lower limit is about 12g coffee
>>22011213get a deep 27
>>220112131 cup filters I wouldn't go lower than like 15g. Too shallow of a bed and your shit just gets churned and overagitated.>>22011216This. Low dose drippers exist now like the deep27, sworks dripper, pulsar mini etc.
>>22011216>>22011221ty ill look into a smaller dripper, the 10g of kenyan i made just now didnt turn out that well so that sealed the deal
I'm trying the pourover spoon trick where you pour water onto the spoon instead of coffee and it just drips down. Is it normal for agitation to be literally 0? It's just a pile of clear water by the end.
>>22011204>good>mokaChoose one
>>22011213>I like doing 10g coffee with 170g waterBuy an aeropress.
>>22011253good point i actually have one that i forgot about
What do I do if my bloom drains too fast
>>22011260do you think thats a problem?
>>22011268Yes it just leaves this awful looking sink hole of a coffee bed
>>22011269why not do a double bloom as the first bloom has drained 65% and not reached the sinkhole stage yetor you could swirl your bloom and see if that changes how the post-bloom bed is formed

Update on the semi auto machine it's working good. Got some cafe umbria running through it, really beats paying $2/shot. Haven't messed with the internal grind settings but the external ones have enough movement that I can get all the grinds I want for my other brew methods. KitchenAid is discontinuing this machine I believe (tank leak that you can fix with a tight fitting oring) so you should be able to pick it up for super cheap at discount stores. I got mine for $280 vs $599 or whatever KA was charging.
fine I give up, I will grind finer.
Currently drinking Amazon branded coffee. I was ordering something and saw this so I thought I'd try it.Is it good? Not really. Just a pretty cheap instant coffee. It's drinkable but that's about it.I do like instant coffee because it's less hassle than my french press. There are much better brands though of course - even stuff which isn't particularly expensive.
>>22012649I've tried iced pourover, I quite like it as it usually comes out sweet with the lighter roasts I use. I also make iced Americanos frequently in the summer. For both, I like to use whiskey stones to cool the water and/or brew before adding ice, which reduces dilution.I got some beans from George Howell recently that are apparently specifically roasted for cold brew, so we'll see how that goes.
i just saw little weird hairs floating in my keurig water tank, should i start using one of these "charcoal filter" things? or is that gonna poison methe tap water in my area is also pretty bad
>>22013138Nigga what
>>22010967Nice. Gonna try this with powdered milk camping.
>>22012758>I got mine for $280Holy grim.
im gonna pretend i didnt read that
Has anyone else used one of these reproduction coffee mills?I've bought one for the work break room just for French press so that I can bring home my ratio 6 and electric grinder.
>>22013614yeh it fucking sucksunironically just buy pregroundbetter particle distribution from those $100m industrial grinders
>>22013679>unironically just buy pregroundThat was an idea but because as far I know I'm the only one drinking coffee every other day so beans store better.I'm sure the particle distribution would be even enough for emersion brewing although I'd have to grind finer.
moka cortado :)(robusta is almost here)i got the convex basket working but i haven't had any 1: beans good for espresso2: beans that are good for espresso and i actually likesince i got it so im going to reserve judgment until after i break into the robusta(1-2 week resting period)got some geisha on the way tooand Indonesia West Java which i dont think I've had before.
>>22013694if you have a good grinder at home you could grind what you will use that day and bring it in with you.
>>22013739Might as well brew charred wood chips
>>22013744take the natural process, cherry co-ferment robusta pill anon
