I've been ripping some comfort roast lattes through the ikape. Probably the ideal use for it. Washed guat and a sun dried natural from el salvador. Tons of brown sugar, caramel etc. Flipped 2 kilos of it to the guy I sold the kinu to as well.

>>22038838
can i get a more in focus picture of those beans they look pretty even
do you think this west java would be good through the ikape?
also ive been thinking if i should move on from focusing on grind size with it and instead lower my dose to 17/17.5 which is what i found worked best with my previous basket(straight walled 18g)
how much do you dose yours with(granted yours is the shallower version iirc)

I think its the perfect basket for the (moka) coffees you buy. The 58-46-40 stepdown I posted at the beginning of last thread is allegedly a bit better for my usual -lights but who knows. I still really like my original 2200 hole PCL basket.
>dose yours with
Fucking 18g usually. You bought the big one, don't underdose. Fill that headspace up so theres some resistance when the puck swells.

>>22038859
>for the (moka) coffees you buy
ill try to interpret that as not an insult ;)
>don't underdose. Fill that headspace up so theres some resistance when the puck swells.
ok

and thanks for the extra pic. :)

>>22038867
Not an insult at all. I just don't think its the basket I'd reach for when pulling Duckrabbit OWushwush or anything else Standart would send. I'd still go high flow+909s. But who knows. I should probably put in an order for 32mm bottom papers this summer.

>>22038875
>Not an insult at all.
well usually when you bring up moka its an insult so just pattern recognition
>I just don't think its the basket I'd reach for when pulling Duckrabbit OWushwush or anything else Standart would send.
these days i wouldnt either. the way i choose to brew has imo changed alot since getting the hg1p as well as the v60. before everything would just get indiscriminately thrown into the moka(which gave results i liked even if it doesnt hold up to my current standards)
also since i just dont really brew espresso with light roasted or "delicate" beans

i just bought a few boxes of sibarist fast.
you said to bulk order them last time i brought it up and it sounded retarded at the time but it was a good idea so i did it.
and im using weber epf for top filters atm and have nothing specifically for bottom filters at the moment, mostly because i ran out + i dont know what to buy for the bottom of the ikape and if i would even like the result.
i know it probably doesnt matter for top filters but the epf paper quality feels much lower than the 909

>>22038896
Pretty sure epfs are just normal cafecs but I've never bought them.
>quality feels much lower than the 909
909s are actual filter paper. Not coffee industry bullshit.
>Ahlstrom Grade 909 Medium Speed Wet-Strengthened Filter Paper. Wet-Strengthened Grades: Qualitative wet-strengthened grades are manufactured for applications using filter paper in a system or apparatus that operates under pressure or vacuum conditions. These systems require the use of extremely strong filter paper such as those in Ahlstrom's Binder Series. These grades contain a small amount of chemically stable, insoluble binding resin that strengthens the natural fiber-to-fiber bonds under wet conditions. Grades containing wood fibers or resins containing nitrogen, are not recommended for use in quantitative ashing techniques and in Kjeldahl estimations. Qualitative wet-strengthened filter papers are also used in industrial laboratories where technicians require a strong and economical filter paper with consistent quality and performance. Grade 909, 3.0 µm - Medium Speed. This medium flow rate qualitative wet-strengthened grade filter paper with very good retention is a tighter version of Ahlstrom 962. This grade has a rough surface and is often found in the food industry for routine tests.

I went to the store last night for milk and fresh apple fritters. Really leaning into the normie lattes. Another local store stopped carrying Fever Tree tonic water so I haven't been able to make my usual summer sprussy tonics :( I'll have to order a case or two soon.

>>22039859

i dont think ive ever had that
but i did make some pear cake last week that was good.

how does someone even dial in or experiment with espresso machines without wasting tons of coffee or being hyped up on 800mg caffeine afterwards

>>22040091
you waste alot of coffee
and then over time you just know generally where a grinder dial needs to be
like a baker just knowing they have the right amount of flour, no measuring, they just look at it and know its right.
any decently qualified barista should be able to dial in within 2-4 shots depending on how forgiving the beans are

Having a great grinder really fucking helps widen the range of whats "drinkable". You'll throw away time and money trying to pull shots with a timemore c3.

>>22040126
yeh they dont make those here
i looked online and the closest place that sells them is like 5 hours drive
and thinking about it now australia doesnt really do deep fried food other than chips(fries)(traditionally at least, im sure the gradual americanisation over the last 40 years has introduced some "invasive dishes" that some younger people might mistake as being australian in origin)
most of our cuisine is just baked or fried in a pan

>>22040765
moccamaster

I have officially gone post 3rd wave and now intentionally brew my coffees to have significant bitterness.

>>22040765
Depends on how much you brew at a time. Only brew single cups? Just get a clever dripper or hario switch and be done with it. Doing 500ml+ batch brews? Quite a few options, Moccamaster, Bonavita, Breville to name a few.

>>22040829

verdict? tastes like dandelion, idk if these are roasted or not but the taste is bitter, it's not coffee but if you are delusional enough it still isn't too far off.
tasty? no. horrible? no. it's drinkable, and it has a certain... bananey or fruity taste. with the right roast i think this could be pretty alright.
but yeah, very very bitter.

The thermal carafe moccamaster is probably your best bet for a drip brewer. It's close to light commercial build quality so it will last forever if you take care of it. It has a significantly more powerful boiler and some level of water distribution over the grounds so that should noticeably improve the brews. But,
>$400
Have you considered a 12 cup bialetti moka pot? Would be way less expensive and get you a strong concentrate that you can use for mixed drinks or dilute down to drip brew level.

at the end of the day a grim coffee is still a coffee.

Setup: Flair Classic, Timemore blackmirror nano scale
So I have this issue and I haven't found anyone else with the same problem so I'm asking here. I've seen other people using the same setup with the scale on the driptray but as a timer. I use it as a scale to measure the output of espresso, but my problem is the scale is sensitive to the lever movement and it shows a variation on the weight as I go down with the lever not giving a precise measurement. I've tried changing to a more stable surface but the issue remains. Anyone else have this/have resolved it? sorry for esl

finally... coffee thread

it's literally just a reason to dump loads of condensed milk and sugar into garbage tier robusta.

>>22044532
well not just that but they burn it to ash too
trash tier coffee can be "fine" if roasted correctly and ground/brewed correctly
but the viets just did every step F tier and "fixed" it by drowning it in sugar.
it would take less effort to do it correctly

Distilled + minerals. If water matters to you buy some powders on amazon or a bottle of Empirical water concentrate.

>>22044621
the phin is one of the only p/o devices ive seen that uses a metal filter rather than paper, in order to get more coffee in your coffee
ive not used one but i should think its design would also slow the flow out, allowing more extraction via immersion
its not a completely pointless device, it is significantly different than most drip devices

You make moka pot coffee and when it first starts to brew, you pour off about a splash into some sugar. In this case honey. Then you whisk. It makes foam. You pour the foam into a cup and pour the rest of the pot over it. The foam will rise to the top and perfectly sweeten your coffee

ok i got another piece for breakfast(i know it doesnt really look like cake and that its dry and crumbly but it isnt, its moist and really good.)
its pear and pecan cake.(gluten free cane/corn sugar free)
i made another coffee too but i couldnt get a picture i liked so i gave up.
when its just dark liquid in a cup it just doesnt feel like something worth taking a picture of.

i used to just use the reusable mesh strainer thing in my boy here but turns out paper filters actually do filter some stuff out of your coffee that are measurably and not just hypothetically-in-some-studies-maybe bad to consume
ordinarily i probably wouldn't care but at a pot a day i've started to use regular filters. kind of annoying

>>22050072
>do filter some stuff out of your coffee that are measurably and not just hypothetically-in-some-studies-maybe bad to consume
nah thats bullshit
so of you think 1 microgram of oil from a cup of coffee is so bad you need to filter it out then you should also never consume oils or fats from any source.
but thats fucking retarded.

>>22047267
So even the "made in Italy" ones aren't really made in Italy anymore?

>>22050275
depends when it was made
they have made 300 million moka pots so i assume there is a ton of inventory around the place before every new one that is sold is chinese
also bialetti was sold to a holding company that is mostly chinese but is party european still.
so some new pots might be made in other parts of europe and also the materials of new pots will change.

>paper filters actually do filter some stuff out of your coffee that are measurably and not just hypothetically-in-some-studies-maybe bad to consume

Studies bore this out. It's a matter of indifference WITH DARK ROASTS, which push the temperature roasting to the point of breaking down the acrylamides. You will get liver and kidney gains from paper filtering Mediums & Lights. But if you've properly hydrated before coffee, you're getting a kidney boost (or deboost) accordingly. It's just a matter of how you like to brew and what you're willing to do.

>>22047255
Can uou buy a Bialetti with klarna or something? Should be like $5/month its how i got mine

>>22047255
Don't get a no name knockoff. Remember moka pots are pressure vessels and if the safety valve malfunctions you basically have a small bomb in the making. Who knows what kind of scrap bin PRV is installed on the knockoffs, in addition to them having thinner walls. Bialetti makes induction compatible moka pots but I would still recommend just getting a regular aluminum one with a separate cheap induction plate since moka pot brewing is relatively heat sensitive and that setup will allow you to have very tight control over the flow rate by just lifting the moka pot on and off the plate instead of having to constantly chang the induction heat setting.
Matt D'Ottavio's channel has a lot of great moka pot videos.

anon you look rather womanly in the reflection.
looks like a woman in a pencil dress, but i could be wrong.
could be a mans arm and the elbow is resting on the edge of the counter leaning forward to take a picture and the arm is obscuring the body.
either way it proves my point that the reflection in the drink is more worthy of having a picture taken of it than said drink.

>>22047051
idk man, I drank like five espressi once and had a pretty bad time - I feel like 20 cups can do you in if you're sensitive.

the trick is to get a thrift store machine for like $10 that will be missing all of the junk accessories anyway and you just buy what you need, the bottomless aftermarket portafilter which comes with a double grind basket already, an all-metal tamper and maybe a funnel if you don't wanna make a mess, not even $300 or $400 machines come with piss basic all-metal accessories, spend the rest on a grinder.

i have an alignment issue with my super jolly, i bought new springs for it and i hope thats the issue as i hate calibration and would like to stop here.
basically it starts chirping too early, so instead of shimming i thought springs might be the issue.
like 20 year old springs that have been under max compression the whole time has probably fucked them.

elaborate, because I've tried yours but you haven't tried mine

Got meme'd by a youtube video into making chinese milk black tea coffee.
First go was decent. But probably too weak. I have a 1L teapot. Used 2 bags, then two shots from my machine and then a bit of condensed milk.
Tried it iced and hot. Iced was bad. Which is interesting since I usually prefer iced coffee unless the weather is very cold.
Will probably try it again but using single cups instead of making a big batch. I might end up preferring the tea/coffee/milk combo over hot coffee.

okay I made it again but just in a regular large glass mug (the 480ml mugs I got from delonghi's promotion when I bought my machine).
Was about 200ml of water for one tea bag, then a coffee shot, a bit of condensed milk then hot milk from the machine to top it off. think I like it better than just coffee.

sipping on this(cortado)
well i got 2 bags, 1 was a lighter(only got a 100g left) and the other was a darker roast, im having that one now and it tastes pretty different than the light roast.
got hit with heavy tobacco and burnt toast on the first sip which was fantastic.
and then its subsided into a burnt croissant flavor at the end as it cools.
i was expecting it to taste closer to light roast but im happy it doesnt.

i hope other anons have good AND surprising coffee today :)

>>22057065
Hows the higher dose working out?

>>22057341
good but i forgot to adjust my grind size accordingly for this bag vs the end of the last bag so it ran a little faster than i wanted which is why i decided to turn it into a cortado
ill try again later
one of those "need a coffee before my coffee" things.
but it turned out tasty regardless

how about you?
still on the convex?

also i know it might sound crazy but i was thinking of putting some tea leaves in it and seeing how that goes.
usually when i brew tea i just use my v60 but it feels like a bit of a waste using paper filters for tea when im only using like 10g of tea leaves.

>>22057361
Yep still ripping that blend through the convex. Kind of getting bored of it. Need to swap back over to espresso tonics or just go back to filter for a while. Might snag the new bean&bean yiting filters to fuck with soon.
