Insulated (1L) stainless steel french press, my beloved
first for skeletons
>>22235491i have that same one and it is completely clogged with psyllium husk cause i thought it would be a good idea for separating the jell from the plant matter
Real question, once you've got your specific brew down to a science, how often do you thoroughly clean your wares? I usually just rinse daily and give it a scrub once a month or so.
>>22235510i try to build up as much seasoning as possible
>>22235491They are great. I sprung for the Frieling so I could be fairly certain I would be able to get parts down the road.
>>22235486women(performatively) do
moka time :)

>>22235486I do, not often but I do.
>>22235510I've gone years without washing my french press but generally clean it about once a year. I always regret it afterwards, the coffee never tastes good for the next week or so. Moka pot and pour over get cleaned fairly often.

>>22235933glad to see we found a way to get rid of you
the filter i got out of the box was defective, i poured water in and the seam broke and pissed grounds out its ass into my cuphad to dump it out and start over.
just had a painful poop. my dry mocca was too much
>>22235470>Cool Autumn Breeze editionI'll say. There's nothing like some McD's coffee and breakfast on a crisp fall morning.
>>22236043are you using cheap cone filters from the grocery store? dont use those cheap cone filters from the grocery store.
>>22236069comfortable.
>>22236089nojust bad luck
>>22235507>separating the jell from the plant matterfor why?
it turns out i did have enough beans for one last cuphappy days
>>22236252i dont believe you.
>Eritrea invades ethiopiai hope this doesnt impact coffee prices
>>22236226to use as a thickener
>>22236544are they trying to steal the ark of the covenant?
$93 K6s for the next 6 hours
>>22236544If you want lower coffee prices you want Ethiopia to win quickly. This entire conflict exists because Ethiopia was cucked out of access to the sea by Djibouti, Eritrea and Somalia.More likely that Tigray ends up becoming independent, adding yet another country into that quagmire region.
>>22236463i already drank the evidence hours ago
tried nitro coffee. not bad, makes it creamy instead of sharp like carbonation bubbles
>>22236596for coffee?
>>22236815i drink nitrogenated drinks way too fast. like guinness. they just go down like water.
>>22236821i don't remember anymore
>>22236830have you drank thick coffee or haven't you?
>>22237048i said i don't remember, ok pal?!
how could you forget thick coffeei wouldn't forget thick coffee
>>22237048we dont take kindly to thick coffee round here
had a cup of coffee
guys, don't eat dry mocca. the poops are so painful that it made me throw up
>>22237300thats a good idea
>>22237303praying for you
Coffe was foul today idk what happened
>>22237404>idk what happenedummyour anime picture was not coffee related
taco bell coffee just dropped
>>22237404did you rao swirl?
>>22237549its a spin not a swirlcompletely different.
>>22237578so did you spin or did you swirl?
>>22237591thats not meim just making sure you know.for future reference, a swirl will leave striations, a spin wont, which is why rao does it.
>>22237603what do the striations do
>>22237630uneven particle size distribution in the bed.
>>22237603centrifugal force from the spin will pull all the coffee grounds to the wallsi can't imagine that's great for even extraction
>>22237662>centrifugal forcethat depends on the speed of the spin
you ever spun it fast enough to rippen the filter?
>>22237666calm down satan
>>22237666my dad taught me how to spin and not rip the filter.
>>22237662did they ever find out what happened to this guy?
>>22237719Rao spun to death.
>>22237734how do you know his name is rao?
Anyone tried geisha?
>>22238173depends. do you mean geisha or "geisha"?
>>22238179i do believe that both of those are the same word
>>22237071Holy fuck is your finger FAT. Looks like a goddamn deer hoof with the hair shaved off. Fat fingered Fred over here guys. He could plug Cados corn hole with one digit by god.
>>22235470Please don’t use anime for the op. It makes us look stupid.
>>22238224do you have anything on-topic to add?
>>22238228He is just trying to make this general a better place.
>>22238224why are you on the anime website if you don't want to look stupid then?
>>22238240/ck/ isn’t an anime board lol
>>22238243so? that is a coffee picture
>>22238245Just don’t post anime
>>22238249why?
>>22238249i will pray for you, and i hope you feel better soon.

>>22238404it'd be cute if it wasnt slopthe coffee i mean
>>22238404>look>nowAt least you're finally starting to notice the consistency.
>>22238415is that a big coffee or a small girl?
>>22238415oh, so you are >>22238224 and just baited me. well done, my good gentlesir
I keep a variety of these in the house for weekends and just comfy nights in front of the fireplace. I brew coffee most mornings but there's nothing wrong with some frothy quickpackets, no?
>>22238423Their biggest problem is most of these have almost no coffee in them. If you have a milk frother/heater, one of those and a big scoop of your preferred instant is nice.
>>22237719he PISSED OUT HIS ARSE
>>22238451yeah I do agree, the "double shot" versions almost have too much coffee in them. it's a weird balance. I might add a teaspoon of Moccona to my next cup of Hazelnut just to see how it fares. they are enjoyable for what they are, thoughbeit
>>22235491I'm so glad I made the switch to a French Press about 2 years ago. Best coffee and honestly second best tea (samovar is best)

Animeposters can't provide or sustain good discussion. They have to latch on to something that already exists, much like they latched onto japanese cartoons. Replies in the 90s and the only worthwhile discussion is the retard askinig when to clean things.
>>22238645>latch onto something that already existstry to keep in mind that almost half the threads on this board are about fast food chains and/or their productsalso please stop fingering yourself in public
>>22238648>fast food chains and/or their productsFast what chains? On the What and Cooking board?
>>22235491Clever/Switch heems it. IDK why it took immersion brewer fags so long to implement proper filter. Aeropress is a massive overly complex meme btw.
>>22238658>it took immersion brewer fags so long to implement proper filterClevers have been around since like 04.
>>22238666really satanically damning for immersion fags then.idk why people bother with anything short of clever-likes then.
>>22238655>Fast what chains? On the What and Cooking board?i understand that its not exactly the "fast what and cooking" board, but still
>>22238672Yeah. Those threads go here. Latching onto long running generals(dipshit animeposting happening on /tea/ as well) just to spam pictures needs to stop. Make a /CuteGirlsDrinking/ general over on one of the anime containment boards. Stop sliding actual threads off the board by posting useless shit like>What do you do while the food cooks?
>>22238685ritual posters must ritual post.
>>22236069Someone once posted a "watercolor" of this and I saved it and I'm trying to find it
>>22238689>I'm too autistic to NOT do this :3
>>22238685"what do you do while the food cooks" is a more interesting thread topic than "i am the seventh guy to complain about delivery apps this month", and it doesnt feel as if it is latching onto anything moreso than "i am posting pictures of me making a steak dinner">stop sliding actual threads off the boardgrab a snickers
>replying to the trollshiggy diggy
>the troll wants more coffee discussion in the coffee discussion thread
>>22238710tasting notes?
>>22238723reminds me alot of jbm
>>22238543How is samovar any different from simply pouring hot water from a kettle into your french press? Is it just the cool factor?
>>22238734Cool factor and you get a hint of smoke taste in it. Which is nice. By the end of the month I'll have mine out
>>22238693ya, I agree. it's unfortunate. every board has them. I kind of what thread IDs like /biz/ and /pol/ so you can at least immediately identify and hide them for the thread's duration.
>>22238690Found it
I've probably gone through every meme coffee brewing product and trend outside of full espresso.For a long time I was on V60 since it was the lowest effort, good way to shit out coffee, but I'll be honest, taking the switch pill and just doing immersion, is way too fucking easy and it comes out good 90% of the time.Is this the end game for lazy ass non-professional barista-ing? I got a 03.
>>22238763>Is this the end game for lazy ass non-professional barista-ing?Pretty much. There's a little optimization you can do with swapping in a mugen/neo/alpha/orea dripper on top(or the new timemore one coming out which hopefully works with the vector) but I'd just wait until you break your glass cone.
>>22238763you can go further. i settled with using a tall strainer without any paper filters. just brew it in your cup and then pour it out when you reach the sludge at the bottom. or you can decant it from a separate cup to minimize the sludge
>>22238772it wouldn't work. those are never fine enough and the clean flavor of a filter just mogs it too entirely to bother. I stopped using a french press pretty quickly because of this hassle.
>>22238777fine enough for what? the only thing that gets through is the dust which always sinks to the bottom of your cup. the things that float and make it taste "unclean" would not leave the strainer
>>22238759awful
>>22238756Sounds comfy. Are you going to use it to brew coffee? Do share a photo if you do.
>>22238790nah bro, the dust lingers
>>22238822have you even tried it?
>>22238823yesit was not greatwasn't even good if i'm being honest
also, it's a pain in the ass to clean just like french pressmuch prefer pic related if i'm brewing filter-less immersion
why does "french roast" coffee always smell and taste like cat piss
>>22238890you ever been to paris?
>>22238790I have had issues even using a finum basket. it just doesn't work. either way, it is still too oily. I prefer paper filtered coffee. even when I was wasting time using the moka pot, I was using aeropress paper filters in them to get that flavor I wanted.
>>22238890it's basically turned into coal. I'm sure it will smell like all kinds of bad/mid.
French toast.
>>22238946Don’t make posts like these. You’re wasting the post limit.
does how long it takes the bean to cool after roasting affect the flavor of the coffee? some people seem to cool the bean with a fan and some just put the bean on a sheet. but if there is still caramelization occuring as the bean rests then could cooling it down too quickly theoretically result in a less developed flavor?
I only drink Lavazza.
>>22238958is it any good?
>>22238958I’m making French press coffee with 13 grams of coffee and 200 grams of water. I’ve been drinking instant coffee for the past few months, so this French press tastes pretty good. I might buy that brand you mentioned.
>>22238948i think instant coffee is fine, but some are better than others
>>22239012>>22238977It's my favorite. I also do like Folgers instant freeze dried for the speed factorYou guys really haven't tried Lavazza?
>>22239045Instant coffee IS fine. No complaints there.
>>22239047> Folgers instant freeze driedSounds gay, what is this?
>>22239061>what is this?Folgers instant freeze dried
you DO store your instant in the fridge, don't you?
>>22239060I want it to be, but it really isn't.
>>22239074Are we supposed to?
>>22239074>anime>pink hair
>>22239099Sir, we're discussing coffee in this thread.
>>22239060phew>>22239074>>22239086i have a feeling that screenshot is depicting a cold brewi cannot fathom why one would store freeze dried kaffi in the fridgetorium, unless one lives in a moist and very warm warm place
>>22239104>fridgetoriumsorry i shoulda wrote 'refrogerator'
>>22239077pour over coffee can never give you the robust flavor of instant and this is just a fact.
>>22239116I literally do not believe you.what instant are you drinking and where do I get it? I'd rather fucking drink that than waste my time with it all.in fact I've been drinking more /tea/ for the last 5+ years because it's a much easier hustle.
>>22239117Tea is for lesbians
>>22239117you just need to make sure you use enough of it, which is usually 50% to 100% more than they tell you to use. i also add a pinch of salt and sugar. i prefer the nescafe freeze dried ones. tasters choice and the colombian one.you dont get the separation of flavor notes and acidity of pour over but i still like to have a rough robust cup of instant fairly often, especially on cold mornings.
>>22238819I mostly use it for tea. But when it gets colder out and I fire It up. I shall make a thread. And do some coffee
>>22239135This can't be better or cheaper than just lazily running stumptown or some other grocery store 2nd wave when you want shitty coffee.
>>22239293it is easier and cheaper. you get like 20 cups out of a bag of cheap beans but you can get at least 60 out of a nescafe jar and theyre about the same price. it'd be better to compare it to a can of folgers or something. "better" is apples and oranges. stumptown et al are still gonna be much more complex. instant is instant.
>>22238948If we run out of posts it's over...
>>22238201>He could plug Cados corn hole with one digit by godlel
>>22235470what do you have with the morning coffee?
>>22239868I don't have morning coffee. I fast until after noon. When I do have coffee I like to enjoy it as is.
>>22239868Nothing
>>22239868toast
>>22239868pepperoni for breakfast? with a side of chili oil? what culture is this
>>22240211french canadian
>>22240215>chili infused maple syrupsign me up!
>>22239868existential dread
>>22239868the gradient on those pancakes pleases me.
having a coffee nowsomething called an 'italian blend'
>>22240406never heard of it
>>22240406what's it blended with? marinara sauce? OH!
>>22240406>>22240426Mama Mia!
Did you know that coffee grinder is pretty good at pulverizing dried berriesTheir seeds can be tough but espresso fine grind setting works them enough
>>22240438>pulverizing dried berries...and why would i want to do that?
>>22240438sounds like a good way to ruin your grinder
>>22240441maybe you want a powder you can use in cooking for flavor and texture
ohyou mean peppercorns
>>22240438Did you know the famous EK43 started out as a spice/grain/linseed/poppyseed grinder?
>>22240456>poppyseed grinderwhatever would you need that for.. hehe...
What time is the latest in the day you'll have some coffee? I have a cup after dinner around 7:30 every night, and I never have any trouble getting to sleep when I go to bed around 1am.
>>22240511like 8-10h before bed
>>222405243, but I get insomnia and have inconsistent sleep schedule>>22240456poppyseed paste for babka. you're better off taking a zester to a living seedpod if you want anything else. I need to get a burr grinder, but the list on the pastebin is a little small. I can get some discounts on bigger brand names like cuisinart, oxo, kitchenaid, black and decker, breville, braun etc. I don't think my beans are quality enough to warrant a $200+ grinder. Level Ground is pretty good, but not phenomenal. They all seem to have a good range of sizing from fine to coarse. oxo apparently has a range of 45 grain sizes. Can I get input?
>>22240681All those brands make extremely shit grinders. Buy a $44 kingrinder p2.
If you snap off the plastic guardrails on your typical conical burr grinder, you can lower the burr gap to near zero and make espresso tier grinds on a sub $50 electric burr grinder.
>>22240858prove it
>>22240858what do you do with all the metal filings?
>>22240862they settle to the bottom
>>22240871thank god
>>22240862its fine as long as you use a paper filter on the bottom
>>22240858my grinder has guardrails such as making sure the motor is on as you adjust it and stop if it starts making weird metal grinding noises
>>22240858>espresso tier grindsJust say you don't know what you're talking about and move on.
>>22240890>Just say you don't know what you're talking about and move on.thats implied via the anime
>>22240511i drink coffee at 5am, and then go to bed
>>22240890Theres a common trend that coffee grinders make coarse grain coffee, and to get finer grain suitable for espresso you need to specifically look out for it with "coffee grinder for espresso" or somethingSo, espresso tier.
>>22240979Stick to your cartoons pal.
>tfw finally mastered the bellman
>>22240442huh, grinder? what are you gay?
>>22240442If dried berries ruin your grinder, your grinder is garbage.
