Bolivia for breakfast today
That is a big breakfast.

I used to buy freshly roasted whole beabs grind at home do pour over or nice espresso machine. I lost all patience and now do grocery store ground beans in a 20 dollar dripper. Yes it's much worse. I just don't care anymore.
>>22209985Reasonable

>>22209985Same lol. I drink instant. Fuck whole beans.

anime coffee
should i try monsooned malabar
>>22209985I have a dripper I got for free at work, I put folgers dark roast in it. It lives in the garage and gets used when I am doing winter woodworking, its nice having that seeming limitless supply of hot coffee to keep me warm when it is below freezing. Sometimes I forget to make sure it is completely empty of water when done for the day and it freezes.
i tried indian coffee once and i did like it
>>22210000You will never be indian
confusing insult
>>22210007indian?
>>22209994I wouldn't.
lynchian coffee
>>22210000I could see coffee from southern India being pretty good, honestly. Might try to find some out of curiosity. Same relative position to the equator as Indonesia/Ethiopia/Central America, so I don't see why they couldn't grow there.
I can't believe agriculture still depends on geography in 2026. Latitudes and mountains, really? It should all be greenhouses and genetic engineering and shit.
>>22210034A lot of plants won't fruit without being frozen for a few months, so your greenhouses would also need to be a giant and very expensive freezer.
>>22209998that sounds comfy
>>22210055>16 ouncesI'd call this an alto
>>22210060pinto.
>>22210034There's a random dude in the mountains of North Carolina who runs a coffee shop and grows his own coffee in a hydroponic farm, but the beans are incredibly limited and cost an absurd amount. Like, $120 for 8 ounces absurd. I know there is zero chance those beans would taste better than than the $16 bag of honey processed ethiopian beans I usually buy, but man I am curious to know...
>>22210064even if the coffee is only mediocre, i respect that guy for running such a weird business
>>22210040>A lot of plants won't fruit without being frozen for a few monthsStubborn bastards. This is what genetic engineering is for
>>22210078We are still a long ways from that sort of genetic engineering, we are just barely passed basic hybridization/selective breeding.
>>22210034dont worry. colombian will figure out how to sell you any bean you want.
>>22210064Do you really want to give your money to the Ethiopians instead of the humble solo indoor farmer?
>>22210338>indoor farmerNot a farmer.
ok.

finally got a good moka pot coffee from the bellman and it is really good
how good is it?
easily in the top 10.
that's pretty high
The Bellman is pretty great. Had to make a good number of so-so cups of coffee and a few kind of terrible cups to get the hang of it but it is paying off.
>>22209999Hard to argue with those digits.
What do you guys think about portable espresso? Is it really worth investing in a whole machine when I can get a picopresso or something, especially if I'm just gonna be making 2-3 cups a day? Well I'm not sure if there's something much better than a picopresso, but that's the one my barista told me about.
>>22210871>picopressoNever heard of those until now but watching a video, even with preheating both the picopresso and the cup the resulting coffee was only 140f. Seem kind of cool but $130 for luke warm coffee is a little silly to me, would rather just use a french press or Neapolitan flip, both of which can be had in double wall stainless to keep things good and hot.
>>22210878Gotta look up Neapolitan flip, but a french press doesn't make espresso, right?
>>22210881Neither do espresso but both can make good strong coffee. French press will get stronger than Neapolitan which is ultimately and old fashioned drip maker which does much better than most any other drip.
>>22210883Want espresso specifically though.
>>22210885From what I am seeing for these portable espresso makers that means accepting coffee which is not particularly hot, is 140f coffee hot enough for you? Shame that no one seems to make an insulated version.
>>22209994i really enjoyed it, in a moka pot anyway
>>22210871The new breed of self-heating portable machines seem decent if a bit pricey. You can use hot water to make the battery last longer.That said if you're really doing 3 cups a day it probably won't survive past a few years.
>>22209948So is it good for you or not?
>>22211037No, but I am good for it.
>>22210895Kinda not sure really. Doesn't even need to be that portable either. It's not like I'm gonna be making it in my car. Just something I can take when I visit people or move around. I'm looking at a Flair Go now too, but I'm getting confused.>>22211020I think I'll ditch this gayass idea and just stick to pour over. Or I can get a moka pot if I want something denser. Maybe I can make milk dirnks with moka coffee idk.
>>22211066>Maybe I can make milk dirnks with moka coffee idk.I've been doing this for the past few years because I can't afford espresso and I kinda like it, not as bold as the real thing but it's fine.
lately i just make an ese espresso with pressurized filter and add 200ml cold milkits a step up from instant nescafe iced + cold milk
>>22211069>I can't afford espressoBecause of the cost of a good espresso machine?
>>22211096Yeah, grinder too
>>22211066Moka pot would be my rec for portable but still have stove access. Bellman CX25 is a moka pot with manual valve and a steam wand if you want to do milk stuff. It can make coffee considerably denser than moka pot, nearly espresso, and can also do less dense stuff. Has a good learning curve though. I am on the fence on the Bellman, great coffee and sometimes I really enjoy fiddling with it to see what I can get it to do, but I do miss the simplicity of a normal moka pot. I am getting the hang of it and learning its quirks, it is becoming less of a hassle.
>>22211125>Bellman CX25I got excited for a second but that bitch is 200 bucks.
>>22211037yes but only paper filtered
>>22211165That is the CX25P, normal CX25 is like $140. The P has a pressure gauge, which probably would lesson the learning curve but I don't think it would be of any real use once you get past the first hump, you can tell the pressure fairly easily by ear and how the sound of the water boiling changes, it just takes some practice and some failure and a bunch of ok but not great cups of coffee.

re: skillet roasting. in the previous thread, anon mentioned preheating in his oven. can you elaborate on this? my assumption is that you preheated either the skillet itself or a sheet with beans on them. please advise (:
>>22212272no
>>22212272not stove anon but it's the pan that needs to be preheated. dont preheat the beans, you'll bake them.
>>22212272Preheat the beans. If you preheat the pan you'll just scorch surface sugars on a ripping hot pan.
anon pls
>>22212272Preheat the skillet, give it a good 10 minutes or so in the oven so it is well soaked, onto the burner mediumish heat depending on the quirks of your stove, beans go in and start stirring. But I think starting the beans in the oven and finishing on the stove has some value, maybe preheat the pan in the oven, throw in the beans and turn the heat up to 400 or so, give it a few minutes or maybe even let it go until first crack is just starting, onto the hot burner and stir. Would give a bit more control than straight oven where you can't really see the beans or stir them. Oven roasted can also do quite well, it takes a few tries to find the right spot in the oven that has the most even heat and maybe experimenting with the various bake settings your oven offers. I did some oven roasting and was able to get quite even results after some experimentation, not perfect but perfectly good and I think I might prefer a slightly uneven roast, it might not be the best for showing the nuances of a particular bean but it can produce very tasty coffee.My advice for those starting out, pick a methodology and learn it inside and out. Buy 5 or 10 pounds of a single bean/blend and have at it. Sticking to a single bean and a single method means the goalposts don't move while learning and as as long as you take the time to understand your mistakes, the coffee and your method, you will learn and improve. Make coffee from them and experiment with making the coffee in different ways and try to figure out how to make a good cup or at least the best cup you can from a roast regardless of how poorly it turned out, figure out what is good about the batch and what is bad and how to bring out the good in your next batch, don't just write it off as good or bad. The coffee you make from your roast is never just a bad cup of coffee no matter how terrible it is. The basics of roasting are fairly simple, if you put in the time to understand your heat source the rest is simple.
>>22212345Thanks for the tips. I roasted coffee for the better part of two years with one of Sweet Maria's poppers, but I've never roasted on a skillet before tonight. I couldn't preheat it in the oven because the handle was wooden (so I guess it's not a skillet proper--whatever) but had some success. Thanks anyway, I'm sure your write-up will help somebody. (:
>>22211627not today

>>22212272>first crack light/medium>second crack darkThere wil be smoke above 428 F
can this be used for coffee water or would the salt level taint it? it would probably be pretty low.. right?
Other brands with this packaging? They recently switched over to those Standard plastic pods, So I will never buy another one from these peopleWhich sucks because it's pretty good especially for the price point

>>22213137>Think I'll rip some of this through the ikape convex at high rpm.thats a good idea
>>22213193It was very good. 1:3.33. Silky crema, punchy fruits without any vinegary ferment notes. Would have cut through milk easily, but not too loud for straight espresso. Warming up a Pullman 876 to see how that runs now. Ideally get a bit less texture and soften those fruits up.
Black coffee is not something anyone voluntarily eats. I wouldn't even call it an acquired taste it's just try hard crap to appear cultured or some shit. It's like eating 100% cacao chocolate. You're just eating an ingredient.
>>22213250I love eating raw cacao beans
I'm glad somebody finally said it
>>22213250>eats
>>22213250I thought the same thing until I had good black coffee that actually had notes.It was fucking McDonald's of all things.
oh yeah baby...
Just ordered some Ethiopian labeled extreme light roast. How long after roast date should I wait to make espresso?

We only have unfiltered coffee at workBut I really want paper filtered coffee to not further ruin my body with extra cholesterol Are there any small filter holders I can put on my cup before I get coffee out of the machine at work? >>22209948This would definitely not fit
>>22214135they have coffee in paper filter bags
>>22213430 >>22214131Where i live, mcdonalds coffee is half a dollar and its actually quite nice. Not pourover nice, but nicer than pods or instant. I just dont like the taste of the paper cups...
>>22214191I already have a coffee machine. I only want that coffee going through a paper filter to absorb the unhealthy fats.
>>22214408you can get a 2 cup v60, mine is pretty smallyou can get a phin then stack a couple aeropress filters at the bottom, may have some bypass thoughthe problem with this idea is unlike normal brewing you're gonna run a stream of coffee through a small spot on the filter which may become saturated with oil very quickly

>>22214075POB = "Pour Over Burr", referring to a type of burr used in some kino grinders
>>22214135>Are there any small filter holders I can put on my cup before I get coffee out of the machine at work?as usual your problem can be solved by the engineering genius of glorious nippon. search for "Single-Serve Pour Over Disposable Filter Bag". they can be set on top of the cup. they are made to be filled with ground coffee and used as a disposable pourover, but they would probably work for your purpose as well.
When I'm lazy and want espresso the Spanish latte's usually the move for me. All it is just condensed milk, and creamer of choice which is usually just half & half for me.
I keep increasing the grind size of my grounds for my V60 so I can make 2 cups of coffee at once in the same amount of time it would take me to make 1 cup of coffee.

How come none of you told me a medium-to-dark roast with mild acidity is the best kind of bean for making cold brew?
>>22216244You never asked.
Its alright. You can sniff.
>>22216353how many beans is that
>>22216395at least 5
>>22216395Bout 4lbs. 1900g of greens roasted up for an anon's Kinu+54mm Breville.

>>22209948I am new to this coffee brewing thing. I have bought myself a Moka Pot and I've heard that I have to grind my own for best results. Every youtuber barista says that I have to grind it coarser than for expresso and finer than for vg10. Is it required that I have to buy and master expresso machine and vg10 (whatever that is) before I can learn Moka Pot?
>>22217030light roastturkish grindcold brew 24 hours
>>22217034interesting, I've heard that you grind it coarse for cold brew. But maybe it doesn't apply to light roast.
>>22217069lies made up by Big Hot Brew
>>22217030Grinding your will give "best" results but starting out, just grind at the grocery store or have the coffee shop grind it for you, worry about a grinder if you start noticing the last cup of coffee from a bag tastes worse than the first cup. Moka pots can make good coffee from a wide range of grinds, experiment.

Drinking coffee without sugar is a modern American fad originating from their futile attempts to keep their body weights under control.Pro tip: it's not about what you eat (and drink) but about how much.
>>22219402Good coffee doesn't need sugar. Shitty coffee is undrinkable without it.
>>22219402>but about how much.but what if I'm going to drink 7 cups of coffee because my american affluence allows me to do so? then surely you would not recommend each and every cup be sugared?
>>22219409Unsweetened coffee is only good to accompany some meals; it works like a spice there. Drinking it alone without sugar is a misunderstanding - compare dry wines (which are supposed to be drunk with meals) and dessert (sweet) wines which you may drink alone.
>>22219410Seven cups of strong coffee would kill you. If it's a weak coffee than only a little amount of sugar will suffice and that will not make you fat.
>>22219422>Seven cups of strong coffee would kill youfor you
>>22219417I personally can't stand the taste of sugar in coffee and have always drunk it black or with a little bit of cream. Coffee is already sweet enough so long as you aren't buying pod machine or grocery store trash, in which case enjoy your stale, moldy cardboard water. The only "fad" part of this is the growing public awareness that people have been drinking absolute swill for decades and that good tasting coffee exists without having to dump a bunch of shit into it. Get yourself a bag of honey processed Ethiopian beans and tell me that shit doesn't taste sweet as hell on its own.
