>>22250076Colombian natural
>>22250081Nice. Hope its a funky one.

>>22250491Had a maple oatmilk latte while listening to this. Comfy. Snagging a good copy of the movie too.
>>22250553You’re gay
>>22250553Are you a woman?
>>22250564Everyone's a little gay.>>22250618Nope.
>>22250553>t. vegan fag
>>22250723Having some leftover pulled pork for dinner. 5ish hours on a weber. Now you don't know what to think.
>>22250428Where is that child's mother?
My new beans won't be here until at least next friday. Might be a week of frozen panamas.
i ate the coffee beans and now i am constipated
>>22250762So you eat so much food youre overweight now and your testosterone dropped and youre full of estrogen.
>>22250762Le me guess, you pumped the pork full of estrogen?
>>22250960>>22250985Actually no believe it or not.
late night moka
late night blogposting
>>22251419thats a short blog
Bros, why do aluminum moka pots make a better brew than the stainless ones? I don't want to use the alzie metal.
The anti anime /ctg/ godhead was right. Took apart the kinu and immediately started getting grounds that looked how I expected them to.Taste is still off but at least I know I'm in the right ballpark.Thank you, anti anime /ctg/ cult leader. You crazy faggot.
>>22251691Still gotta work on my technique to prevent the grounds from sticking to the sides but it's literally night and day difference between before taking apart the grinder and after.>Dose: 30g>Beans: Passenger Divino Niño>Dripper: Hario V60>Grinder: Kinu M47 Phoenix>Grind: 3.2 rotations from zero>Water: 500g>Temperature: 93°C>Method: James Hoffmann Ultimate V60>Bloom: 60g for 45 seconds>First Pour: 300g by 1:15>Final Pour: 500g>Drawdown: 3:35–3:45>Body: Light, somewhat watery>Flavor: Smooth but muted, lacking sweetness>Acidity: Very slight sour aftertaste>Astringency: Slight lingering dryness>Bitterness: Minimal to noneThinking of going 3.4 at 92°C for tomorrow. Are those the right variables to tweak given my perceived results?
>>22251691You're telling me you sperged out for two days because you were unwilling or unable to read? There's just no way. Pretty sure I was trying to break your top tier/meme grinder for no reason.>I'd rezero the grinder, and/or pull the shaft and burrs to make sure everything is seating down correctly.I think I see the issue. I used the term "rezero" and you started thinking about cartoons.>>22251700Given my prior results, what would be the incentive to help you?
>>22251736
>>22251736Nah jk.You don't have to help me. You don't have to do anything, this is the Internet after all.Unfortunately 4channel is primarily an anonymous image board so you might help me in the future without realizing it.Regardless, thanks for the advice and sorry for the harsh words yesterday. Take care, anon.
>>22251765How many minutes did it take you to disassemble and clean? Under 5?
>>22251770About 5, yes. After you mentioned >>22250533 I decided to really give it a try. I didn't realize it was a common occurrence and didn't assume you had dealt with a similar issue before.
>>22251778On top of all of that I also just bought that grinder like a week ago. Surprising that it required being taken apart basically fresh from the manufacturer. Novice mindset, I suppose.
>>22251778>didn't realize it was a common occurrence and didn't assume you had dealt with a similar issue beforeCompletely different grinder. He had a Kingrinder K6. I've just been wrangling retards towards better coffee for years.>>22251791Burr rides on a spring held by a nut held by a different screw. Bumps happen in shipping, springs do as springs do. If I remember right from my 2019 phoenix, handle comes in the box detached, everything tight. That exact problem can happen when you drop the grinder too.
>>22251691Wait, what was wrong with the Kinu to warrant disassembly? It wasn't calibrated right or some shit?
>>22249997
>>22251798>handle comes in the box detached, everything tightYeah, that's how mine was.>That exact problem can happen when you drop the grinder too.I keep mine in the case stored away, pretty anal about its well being.>>22251836For whatever reason (probably due to shipping as seen here >>22251798) literally every time I ground anything at a 4.0 the grounds came out with the size and consistency of nerds candy. Brews tasted awful despite "adjusting" the grind. After disassembly/recalibration, grind is significantly finer and the finished product (while not dialed in completely yet) is clearly on the way to tasting gud.>t. omitting the anime/shitflinging sperg out
help me. i’m a dumbass, which cut is actually the thigh?
>>22251901After this cup of coffee I'm coming to Fort Wayne and gutting you.
>>22251574everything has a price
>>22251736>unwilling or unable to readon brand for /ctg/ thobeit
>>22251901the thigh is the one that looks like a thigh
>>22251765don't apologize to the asylum patient. it gives him the wrong idea.
>>22251897>keep mine in the case stored away>pretty anal about its well beingThe original ones just came in a cardboard tube. It sounds like you're putting the handle on and taking it off every brew. That's retarded. Leave the handle on, keep the grinder on your counter, use the travel case for traveling.>>22251836Now it seems to me like he just fucked up and didn't tighten down the stop all the way.
>>22251901>these are the modern subhumans allowed onlineDepressing
>>22251963>It sounds like you're putting the handle on and taking it off every brew.Correct. Besides being mildly time consuming is there any other downside to this? Unnecessary handling/more potential for misconfigs seem possible but I've always been sure to tighten down the screw holding the handle in place snugly when putting the handle back on.Either way I'll heed and keep it out. More convenient at the very least.
(Good) manual espresso at home.Is it possible or just a meme?
>>22252071>Is it possibleyes
>>22251875What'd you mean to post?
anybody drinkin coffee tonight?
>>22252102yes
>>22252109lemme see
>>22251700>gotta work on my technique to prevent the grounds from sticking to the sidesThat's a reasonable amount to be stuck on the walls. Any cleaner than that and you risk greater amounts of bypass.
>>22251963>keep the grinder on your counterkeep it in a cabinetkeeping it on the countertop will inevitably lead to dust in your burrs>inb4 'i'm le cleaner than you!!!1!'you have just as much skin as anybody else
>>22251901Sir, the chicken general is two threads down.
>>22252130I wonder if there's an easy solution for that minuscule problem. I cut out a piece of paperboard/cereal box for mine back in the day.
>>22252120mmmm... no.
>>22252138is it that difficult to open a (cabinet) door? maybe manual grinding isn't for you
i bet you keep your filter papers out on the countertop gross
>>22252135chicken time general
>>22252165I don't even manually turn on my Wug pal.>>22252167Yeah. Xbloom filters come in a box.
>>22252130is this a real problem?if you use it every day don't you flush out the microscopic amount of dust with coffee?
>>22252236burrs can't grind through dust idiot
>>22252247dust mites can't melt steel burrs
the coffee beans still have not came out yet. my colon is broken
>>22252273then you better go catch it!
constipation time general
As a coffeelet who murders 2-3 daily cups of instant powder (Nescafe Gold) with loads of artificial creamer (International delight) and is well satisfied, what painless preparation method might I enjoy to bump up to "real" covfefe? Keeping in mind it will still be heavily cut with creamer so as to not taste like utter shit as all black coffee does regardless of quality or preparation. Mess is unacceptable, unless it can be carried into the next day.
>>22252347here is your covfefe
>>22252347take this and leave from this place
>>22252347imagine going into a thread about steak and going "what is the best way to prepare and cook a nice steak, and keep in mind I will be cooking it well done and adding steak sauce because bloody chewy beef is disgusting"good coffee tastes good black
>>22252347clever + encore/peppe
>>22252382right.., but this isn't a steak threadnot sure why you would imagine that it was
>>22252370I don't know what that is. But it looks like what I do now with an extra vessel.>>22252382You can't fathom how people would like different things? I realize autism is rampant on this site but you are professing your subjective opinion as objective fact. I come here asking how to better the product, not how to contract OCD and align my coffee particles before pressing.I'm looking for a step up without doing some stupid K-cup crap or ritualistic autism. So far Korean coffee sachets and freeze dried granules dosed with creamer have been sufficient. Do you have a suggestion or do you just want to gatekeep extreme and ridiculous practices forever?
>>22252467it's coffee
>>22252470Uh huh.When I brew tea I steep and dump the used leaves, rinse the infuser and done. What's the coffee equivalent?I don't want a new appliance.I don't want ritual.I don't want plastic waste.Why's this so hard?
>>22252483And by plastic I also mean paper, i don't want to keep a stack of single use strainers or whatever and another vessel in the cupboard.
>>22252483that is the coffee equivalent the procedure is the same
>>22252483>What's the coffee equivalent?you put the coffee grinds into here, put it over your cup, and then pour hot water. take it out and dump the used coffee grounds when you are done with it
>>22252488>>22252490Okay thanks.
>>22251916>everything has a price Would it be possible to passivate the aluminum somewhat, so it's not as toxic? Fr'ex, boiling a water + vinegar + salt solution in the moka pot, to create the inactive oxide layer?
>>22252504no
>>22252504
Hello guys, newfag here. I just found out if you drink coffee with 1 or 2 pinches of sugar, the taste is better than 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar. If I add more sugar in my coffee, the caffeine doesn't work.
My company laid off a bunch of people and they are also downsizing the office, so the boss was giving out everything not strictly work related, and I stole an aeropress, what an I in for?I don't even have any filter for it, need to buy a 300 pack on amazon, how do I make it not a disappointment? I exclusively drink extremely dark roast supermarket espresso
>>22252494lmfao
>>22249997wtf is he doin
I ordered a kingrinder k6
>>22252742a lot of drip machines suck at actually delivering boiling water and getting that water to actually go through the coffee grounds and not just dig a hole through or flow around itif that's what you're used to you'll definitely taste more of what your coffee has to offer, whether or not that's a good thing with vantablack preground supermarket coffee is something you'll have to find out yourself
>>22252745What's so funny?
>>22252742>exclusively drink extremely dark roastsay no more https://aeropress.com/pages/how-to-usei'd rocomend 80c for dark roast thoughever
>>22252742>he got the office's unattended AeropressYour coffee will taste fishy as some intern definitely tried to wank with it from not knowing what it was
>>22253045>preferring to scrape beans out of a metal sieve everyday instead of spending $0.03 on a paper filter for an actual proper brewerHave fun with that.
>>22253045pay him no mind. he's miserable. you can also get one of these things for cold brew that stays in the jug. this is just about the least "ritual" method you can use.just dont dump the grinds down your sink.
cohee time :)
