first, i mix heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla into a cup. this is called the "café". when i microwave it, it starts to foam a lot and then i take it out before it overflows out the cup. i call this the "crème de la crème". then i brew my coffee separately which i call the "covfefe". i pour the "covfefe" into my mug and then i slowly layer the "crème de la crème" on top. this is the final drink which i call "coffee"

>>22131300More convex wushwush today. Should probably swap in the high flow but this is working alright.
>>22131312use case for high flow baskets?
>>22131324Useful when you're targeting higher flow.
im a lowflow kinda guy
>>22131325couldnt you just grind coarser?
>>22131330This is for grinding even finer with low fines filter burrs.
>>22131332whats the basket called(im not buying it, i just wanna know)
>>22131300thank you
I have a drip style coffee maker and manual hario hand grinder (don't know if the grind is right by eye but that's another question) and it seems like I gotta grind and use ALOT of coffee for just three cups or so. Are there any coffee makers that are more EFFICIENT at extraction so I can use less and still have a normal strength coffee? Thanks. Here is a cute Kobold for the trouble.
>>22130458having my second now(its the next day and i fell asleep between that one and this one so it doesnt count)and its much better :)i actually underfilled the moka basket and it made a pretty good brew.very balanced, not as thick and rich as i usually like but good regardless.
>>22131343>it seems like I gotta grind and use ALOT of coffee for just three cups or so.why does it seem like that? what is your coffee:water ratio? if you're getting weak coffee grind finer.
>>22131343is this digimon?
>>22131335Mine is a Pedantry Coffee Lab Cylin Pro. 2200 hole billet basket with the same slight taper as a Pullman 876. Not sure how many batches were made. I paid like $65 shipped when the alternative was $250+ Sworks baskets. The guy partnered with Bookoo recently to manufacture and distribute a few of his other designs. Bookoo ones are stamped and laser drilled instead of milled from a single block of billet though.https://bookoocoffee.com/collections/all/products/bookoo-pcl-espresso-filter-baskets?variant=51797082931384
>>22131353>Bookoo ones are stamped and laser drilled instead of milled from a single block of billet though.how much of a difference does that make?
>>22131349First, the water I use is filtered well water. Then I use a Cuisinart drip style with a filter bag. The coffee beans are fresh and freshly grinded. I'm considering stopping using bags and use a metal reusable one so maybe it'll let more coffee through. Is that a good idea?What machine like I imagine an espresso maker that forces it hot and strong through would be best at maximizing efficient extraction? >>22131351Monster Musume.
>>22131356Shouldn't matter at all. Way easier to make and with less material. Theyll just theoretically bow out at the bottom a little bit sooner(years down the road) from the flex like all stamped baskets. https://sworksdesign.com/Step-Down-Billet-Basket-p581066113https://sworksdesign.com/Step-Down-Stamped-Basket-p760373764
>>22131364>I'm considering stopping using bags and use a metal reusable one so maybe it'll let more coffee through. no. a metal filter is not going to fix the strength of the coffee in your cup. if it's weak you simply need to grind finer. you're also being limited by the quality of your water and the nature of automatic coffee makers. unless you want to start doing pourover or espresso autism and buy new gear, the only thing you can do with the gear you have is grind finer, and pay attention to your ratio and add more coffee or less water.
What does a 50/50 arabica and robusta blend taste like?
tastes like coffee
comandante c40 or kinu m47 classic?
>>22131499depends
>>22131512m47 will be way more flexible with the pourover burr available.
>>22131519Well now that I look at it m47 seems to be sold out everywhere for where I live. Comandante c40 it is then
>>22131551You can just order off their site(s). Also in vertically cranked benchtop mounted grinder news, the m68 is updated and back.

with the 4:6 method, is the bed supposed to drain completely between each pour? 45 seconds is a significant amount of time for such small pours
>>22130011PISSOUTMY ASS
good to see you
>>22131620feels wrong when its not 1 word per line
Do I really need some special milk steamer to make latte art? I've tried heating the milk in a measuring cup, then pouring it into the milk pitcher and frothing it until it has all those little bubbles but It never turns white.
>>22131681if your milk isnt white you certainly do have a problem. have you tried frothing it harder?
>>22131701My milk IS white until it touches the coffee. Then it stays brown. The design doesn't appear.
>>22131723you could be microwaving it too long and making it split. with those hand frothers you can even do it with cold milk so try that, or just use less heat.if it still doesnt work you should call the milk factory.
>>22131723You need to shake the cup harder.
>>22131723What are you frothing with? If using an electric wand, try angling it toward the edge of the pitcher.
morning(it isnt) sprogood but a bit thinnice nail polish on the finish though.
been sippin on the same cup for 2 hours nowreal coffee time hours
>>22132049but doesnt that mean its cold now?
>>22132054so?
>>22132054been cold for a hot minute
>>22132049jeez must be a really big cup
>>22131633I'm taking artistic liberties.

Picked up some pretty expensive beans today. I should probably rest them for a while I use them so I’ll have to blog again when I try them
>>22132400>restsee you in a couple weeks
>>22132400please keep me updated
>>22130011Is coffee legitimately good? I’ve been thinking about trying it
>>22132705YES
>>22132705coffee reflects the goodness or badness of the enjoyer. do not go to coffee looking for easy answers.
>>22131557It goes down to $0 if you choose not to support consoomption
>>22132906you're posting in the coffee consumption general
>>22132906>$0 grinder
no one is selling rubber hammers for $0
>>22132925I am.
>>22132925it's a low level drop
>>22132928where are you located?
I bought a drip 32€ electric coffee maker>but why>ease of use>simplicity>reusable filters>just water>just ground coffee>the coffe I had in those tasted ridiculously good when compared to mocha coffee and also capsules onesnow tell me why I'm 100% right, a genius and my choice is optimalpicrelhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Moulinex-FG370811-Subito-MACHINE-Stainless/dp/B074C4D1VMon top of that, I had this in mind>if you want good coffee just go to the bar and their 500€/1000€ coffee machinewhich ruled out "espresso" machines
Would you still consume coffee if it didn't have drugs in it?
>>22133146Yes
>>22133150doubt.
>>22133152Love me hot beverages and the smell and the process of making coffee
>>22133136>simplicitysure but you're getting a subpar cup. if you just want a cup of folgers or whatever there's nothing wrong with an automatic, but dont buy good beans and pretend you're drinking good coffee.
>>22133136>which ruled out "espresso" machinesyou can get a flair for like $125
>>22133146yes but <1% as often
>>22133136>>reusable filters
>>22133146coffee doesnt have drugs in itmy body does, and the coffee flushes them out.

>the grocery store next to the roaster is selling the same batch for $7 cheaper

Condolences to Romania
>>22133837sorry i had a big cup
>>22133186>>22133237>>22133321yes, I think it was an optimal choice as well, thanks for the confirmationjokes aside, best home made coffee I've ever tried was from a cheapo version of one of these, beats capsules and I wasn't going on an adventure on espresso machines when I don't know the half about it, just wanted a good enough coffee machine and I needed it now.haven't even tried it yetI'll make sure to buy good enough DECAF for it, I don't drink caffeinated one
had a 3 hour nap(does that count as a sleep, when does a nap end and a sleep begin?)now.time for coffee
Sunday morning. That means it is time for instant espresso.

A lot of coffee is advertised as smooth. I definitely don't want my coffee to taste smooth. If I'm getting shitty diner coffee, okay, yeah, I want that to be smooth.
>>22134061yum
