okay /ctg/ can i get a qrd on the cafelat robot?

imagine putting something looking like that in your kitchen

>>21093380
I can't.

That's not how aphantasia works.

>>21093378
>5000 dollars
>"can out do pro espresso machines at 1/10th the price"

Nah you coffee people are in too deep, man. Even a professional bit of kit should not be costing a house deposit for making fucking espressos.

>>21093402
how would you know, you cant even imagine it.

going from espresso to v60: are there any noob guidelines for getting a good pourover like there is for espresso (2:1 in 25-30 seconds)

>>21093378
hey its that fruit raper bot from penny arcade

>>21093378
It's a manual espresso setup with a non-standard basket (57mm iirc) and the legs are too close together for most scales to go underneath.
IMO the best ['cheap'] manual espresso setup is still the Flair 58 (electric so it heats up the portafilter for you and uses a 58mm portafilter)
The youtube title is clickbait; the only thing that a Robot can do is pressure control which you can do with any manual espresso machine and most expensive espresso machines will you let you go nuts with pre-infusion, etc.

What— What if I'm old and confused?

>>21093683
you should work on that

bought some tea
and coffee
and a new mug
its ceramic so i dont know why i bought it, i only like using glass to drink from.
i guess i could just give it to my mum if i dont like it.
her mug is pretty old.

Update for the bros!

My Philos is due next week! I'm super excited!
(I'm upgrading from an old Wilfa Svart/Aroma grinder.)

Also, I picked up some new gear:

Varia AKU Pro
Varia AURA Kettle
BWT Water Filter Jug
Timemore Coffee Server
Cafec Medium Roast Filters

I'm stoked! I feel like a kid at Christmas! Finally have some solid gear for this hobby—going strong for about 10 years now.

I’ve got three different coffees lined up to try once everything's in place:

Red Catuai from Costa Rica - Honey Process
Pink Bourbon from Colombia - Natural Process
Catucai 785 & 2SL from Brazil - Washed Process

Cheers to a great coffee year! *slurps*

>>21093891
>My Philos is due next week!
do you know if its a boy or a girl yet, or are you waiting until it arrives?

>>21093915
>>21093891
of and could you post the diameter of the opening of the "Timemore Coffee Server"
thanks :)

>>21093915
I am wating, however:
"Philos refers to the love for or the pursuit of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding."

>>21093919
Volume (ml) 600 ml
Height 11,5 cm
Width 10,5 cm
Depth 8,6 cm
"The server can be used with both Timemore, Hario or Kalita drippers"

>>21093948
yeh but is the "width" the diameter of the opening?

>>21093312
Shit OP. Never make it again.

>>21093962
could be worse

Quick blog post, I forgot I did get another coffee in Auckland, from the warfside Cafe and bar. They used edible coffee cups that were much like a firm biscuit. Still no espresso on their menu but the macchiato this time was pretty good. Slight bitterness but very drinkable, pretty thick mouthfeel. The cup was a fun novelty 5/10.

>>21094163
im so fucking tired of eco friendly slop
yes climate change is real and man made
yes we can do thinks to reduce our impact but for fucks sake stop with this gimmick bullshit.
god its so cringe.
if you want to make an edible cup just make an edible cup, dont frame it as helping the planet or whatever.

Really enjoying this natural Brazilian.
Oh, and the coffee's good too!

>>21093683
Just don't do that anymore

>>21093382
1 but rotating and bobbing up and down in 3d.

>>21094163
I will eat the cup edible or not.

>>21094163
>edible cup
You mean styrofoam?

>>21093312
Yes in fact.

I've been asking this since last month.

What is that machine where you filter coffee powder at the bottom and pour freshly made coffee at the top?

I saw it when people were talking about Turkish coffee or some shit.

>>21094292
>machine where you filter coffee powder at the bottom and pour freshly made coffee at the top
French press?
Aeropress?
Leg press?

>>21094163
Just wash the mugs

I'm drinking ginger turmeric tea because it's 9pm. The spiciness is only mild amusement, it can never replace coffee.

>>21094800
Is it smooth and arabic?

>>21094834
No. It's spicy and Indo-Chinese.

>>21094286
yeh but can you project that apple into the palm of your hand while rotating and bobbing up and down?
and then see it grow larger and larger until it is the size of a house?

>>21094292
moka pot?

>>21094974
Yes, but only if I'm outside the house-sized apple. If I let the apple engulf me as I grow it larger and larger, things get wonky.
Can you imagine taking a bite out of this house-sized apple? I can.

coffee is more about doing something and less about end results guys

Blog post #4. Barely had any time to find a coffee today as I was off to Hobbiton. There was however a coffee roasters called Robert Harris Coffee right next to the Hobbiton visitor info centre. Picked up a macchiato again though they finally did have espresso on the menu. I'll be honest the coffee was just fine, details on cup but it honestly just tasted very "Cafe safe" if that makes sense. Not bad at all just nothing special 6/10.
Oh and Hobbiton was 10/10.

I’m out of Bailey’s, so now I have to drink my coffee straight with you heathens, or God forbid with sugar/mik/cream/etc like all the normies do.

been "stress testing" my hg1 by doing nothing but pour over for like almost 2 weeks now, because its clearly not built for filter so i want to see how well it can do filter.
and so far its been doing great.
maybe its placebo but i really think these burrs are going to taste better and better over time.
its kinda like v^^^v^v^v^(left finer right coarser, up = good down = less good) each day i have been going 1 whole number coarser from 1 full rotation from zero point.
i have been doing multiple pours but today i did 1 continuous pour until i hit my target yield, but then looking at the bed it looked like i could still get more coffee out of it so i filled another glass with ice cubes and did a second brew but this time doing multiple small pours and it was just enough to make 2 full cups of coffee, 1 normal filter and the other a iced coffee.
the first brew is perfectly extracted and much more vibrant than yesterday, super mellow and grounded, but also fruity and "sour" but in like a delicious apple way, y'know how even great apples can have that bit of sourness to them.
and then the iced coffee was much weaker(especially with the ice cubes melting) but the extractions was again perfect, great taste, just what you want from an iced coffee, sadly its a rainy overcast day with a cold breeze so not really the best time to be drinking an iced coffee.
i was able to make 2 brews because i came right out of the shower and started making coffee and didnt even measure the beans, just threw a bunch in and started grinding, turns out i probably almost doubled my normal dose which was why i was able to make 2 full cups of coffee.
excited to get back to moka and sort of "stress test" the grind settings of that too but i have been having a ton of fun.
thanks for reading my blog.
oh and the coffee is from Myanmar, just a normal coffee, nothing crazy.
:)

>>21095135
>just a normal coffee, nothing crazy
Jamaican me... normal?

has anyone tried the April Coffee filters? The increased surface area with the folds makes sense if youre using light roasted filter coffee.

>>21093312
Make it hot

>>21095485
sorry best i can do is twice the average human interior body temperature.

>>21095485
YOU WANT SOME CAWFEE?? I JUST MADE A FRESH POT-A CAWFEE!!

>>21095320
Yeah. I like them more than kalitas. About the same as sworks. Mainly using sibarist fast flats now though.

It begins.

>>21095656
looks good
keep updating us :)

>>21093418
that thing is like 300 dollars. Its 2025 you retard. OH and yeah it sucks that actual espresso machines cost 5000 dollars but if you weren't 17 years old you would understand why.

>>21095656
Where you getting your greens? are you in shitaly? send me a vostok you fucker

>>21095691
isnt this the anon who has been growing coffee or something?

>>21095698
No its the retarded italian instagramspammer.

>>21095664
>>21095665
Yes, I will when the time comes.

I enrolled in a course which will make me work at a roaster in Milan and from there I will upgrade with other modules, I can also choose a SCA course but they’re expensive.

>>21095691
I took the picture at the roaster where I’ll be trained, it’s a private training 1 on 1, they’re super based and they test and develop filters and stuff for IMS.

They showed me a prototype competition Moka that never hit the market.

I’m happy and energized, they also made me a competition Colombia coffee which was good.

>>21095704
oh
how can you tell?

>>21095086
>pic shows that blend is arabic and smooth with full body
That's JBM

>>21095731
oh i thought this was farm anon who built a roastery.
lame.
well, at least its a picture not from your kitchen for once.
and hey maybe you will also learn how to actually make coffee finally.
;)

>>21095745
It’s the hater who’s obsessed with mokafra, what did you understand?

>>21095731
Cool bro have fun there

It’s impressive how many autistic people use this single general on a dead board of a dying website

>>21095597
Interesting that you mentioned Sibarist, April have launched a product with them

>>21095811
4chan has way more people now than it used to back in the day. THere are millions of unique monthly visitors that aren't bots. I don't think its a dying website. The reduction in users from the 2016 election doesn't indicate a website is dying.

>>21095824
Posts/day has flatlined on smaller boards while even large boards like /v/ and /pol/ are down 20% this year alone. It is objectively dying

>>21095833
ya cause no one wants to wait 900 seconds to post every time they close their browser

>>21095841
it started way before the 900 second anti-spam measure and that didn't affect the rate of the drop

>>21095846
I like to think that all my old anon friends are doing well :')

Is the tamping pressure and balance the greatest determining factor of a good barista?

>>21095872
no

>>21096057
you DID forget a couple 0s right anon?

>>21096077
If the study supports my views only 500 are necessary. For something that opposes them, 5,000,000 is the minimum

>>21095853
I've been here since 2005 and I don't think I would know what to do with myself if this place was gone. Wife got me a nice carbon steel wok for Christmas, though.

/ctg/ and /bgg/ on /tg/ are the only two generals on the whole site that can sometimes manage to be more than just furious circle jerking. I get decent advice on here and in /bgg/ whereas most other generals are saved from 404'ing only by the regulars having autism-offs over who better embodies the qualities of a reddit poster. Non-general threads are board dependent, but on /ck/, it's just a lot of people posting their slop.

>>21095656
very nice, have you done any cuppings yet?

/gg/ is good if you like technical gear!

>>21093312
it's so weird that some italians look like that then some look like marvin vettori or sara bustani (bustanutters)

i guess it's the same where some brits look like mr bean while some look like david beckham

>>21097016
churr bro

Have you ever had a coffee that was untelentingly acidic?
Like not pleasantly so like a floral/citrus/etc, but aggressively acidic with not enough body to match.

>>21097159
My old keurig was shooting these out consistently when I threw it away. The grounds in all the cups are old, extraction is probably low, the hot water comes out of a needle so it might locally scald the grounds, there could have been scaling build up throughout the machine even after attempted cleaning.

>>21097031
Sir, would you like some coffee?

when you find a cafe you really love, what is that brings you back? is it only the quality of the coffee or is it the service, clientele, atmosphere, food? how do you weight these different aspects of cafe culture?

>>21097276
you're not white

>>21097347
are you a survey bot?

>>21097428
no just live in a neighbourhood where every other business is a cafe and it's interesting to see why people love or hate different places

>>21097397
Correct, sir, I am not. Would you like some cream in your coffee?

first moka in almost 2 weeks
going from a filter setting to a moka setting on the hg1 is a dream, (i was at a 1 full rotation from 0 +10 down to +3(whole numbers))
burundi natural process
HUGE dose. i saw some people fill the basket with beans to see how much to grind and i had never done that before so i thought i would try it out, turns out that is 35g with the E&B Lab 6 cup moka pot.
extremely rich. tastes like if you melted dark chocolate into a cup and then dropped in black licorice.
and im getting sort of a damp cardboard and soot profile on the high notes.
very thick and smooth in the mouth but then slightly "dry" about 15-20 seconds after finishing a sip.
that could be related to the dark chocolate flavor.

after enjoying my filter brews for the past 2 weeks this feels like my first real coffee of the year.
i enjoy filter alot but it cant touch this.

:)
hope you guys have some goffee this weekend
:)

>>21097438
i dont go to cafes.
but i would say the atmosphere/sound is the most important for going to and staying at a cafe.
as long as they make what you order and either bring it to you or notify you that it is ready for you to pick up i dont think service matters.

>>21097446
>and im getting sort of a damp cardboard and soot profile on the high notes.
this has mostly gone away as the coffee has cooled
so probably was just due to the heat it was at when i was drinking it and writing that post.

>>21094167
Why not? It's actually reducing waste. No paper cup, no plastic lid, no cardboard sleeve. It would be a missed opportunity to not mention that part of it. And you're going to appeal to another eco-concerned demographic too.
Besides, the eco-friendly part is the small print. They're leading with 'Edible Coffee Cups'. You're making a big deal out of the footnote.

>>21097502
what if i dont want to eat the cup?
what if i just want to throw it away
the edible cups are going to cost more to buy than paper cups so the cost is being passed onto me
and im not gaining anything from it.

>>21097509
>what if i dont wanna eat the cup
thats a choice you have to live with, just like any other
anyway been making great goff lately
got gifted a melodrip and its awesome, really helps even out some coffees
especially the more processed stuff, as i expected

>>21097509
>im not gaining anything from it.
normal disposable cups aren't paper, they're paper lined with plastic that probably leeches xenoestrogens into your hot coffee
this biscuit meme has to be food safe so it probably isn't that or lined with a similar chemical

Mom made me tiramisu for my birthday

>>21097947
is that a coffee crust or is that chockie? in any case that looks great, and you have a nice mum anon

>>21093623
Still $500 just so you can use a lever to pour at exactly 9 bar.
I hope to find one of these at an estate sale for $100 along with a good coffee grinder.

>>21097970
It's cocoa. She got too fine a powder so she ended up using more of it than she wanted.

>>21098010
Still looks amazing. I'm a bit jellie

>>21097947
I never get past the "watch a bunch of videos" phase of tiramisu.

I grind organic locally roasted beans every day in my k6, then use a carefully measured amount of distilled and remineralized water to fill my plastic mr. Coffee. For milk I soak organic cashews and make my own cashew milk.
It's fantastic.

Cafec deep 27 came in today. Pretty good so far

>>21097975
Just buy the $100 flair for $100 and stop bitching.

>>21098206
It's a good thought but the flair 58+ is just a different beast. It also holds value crazy well online.

>>21098177
Do you actually drink such small servings on a regular basis? Or is it a novelty purchase for you?

My favorite type of coffee? A lot
My favorite time for coffee? Right now

>>21098177
very nice and comfy setup

cheers to great goffee *slurps*

also what beans do you have?

>>21098350
Coffee beans.

>>21098257
I got it because I buy many small bags of coffee on a regular basis like 50 grams. With a small amount of coffee I figured it would be useful to help to be able to brew multiple cups and see what tastes best. A lot of people have been talking about it recently so i was curious and it is very cheap so i figured why not give it a try.

Love hobbiton hate the country it's housed in. Nothing to do and seems to be filled with a gorillion vape shops. No undomesticated big land animals too which is fucked.

>>21098745
Just put cream and sugar in your coffee like a normal person. Then it will taste 10/10 every time as opposed to this tamping pressure, grind size, water temperature russian roulette game the coffeeheads like to play with their overpriced gadget crap.

>>21098759
sir i don't make espressos

>>21098745
Gagne knows his shit.

>>21098764
You are on the first step to enlightenment then. But pourover is not much better. You're still obsessing with grind size and the atomization of the water droplets coming out of the kettle. Waste of time!

>>21098774
Thanks. I've stumpled upon it when looking at a brewing equipment site, and was wondering whether it's worth the time spent reading.

Do you guys that have a recommendation for a good portable coffee cup that is:

>leak proof
>approx 10oz capacity (current cup is 8oz but I feel I would like a bit more in it)
>Not too tall as I want to keep it in a certain gap
>Quickish access sip spout (preferably not screw top like the Stanley coffee cup)
>Ideally can fit the aeropress into it without the adapter funnel

I was eyeing pic related but I have a feeling it might be too tall. But the next size down is only 6oz

3:40am and I can't sleep. I blame coffee

>>21099447
I just use one of those aeropress gos that have a tumbler

Happened suddenly and all coffee is affected.

Is a linea micra good for milk drinks?

New Zealand blog post #5
Stopped in Wellington today to visit the other Weta workshop and LoTR locations. Found a little Cafe roastery called Raglan Roast Coffee, in a funny little out of the way place. Really strange set up but picked up an espresso and it was pretty damn tasty. Thick and creamy maybe a touch of plum/nuttiness. Definitely felt on the darker side of a roast though, so probably easy to fuck up if I didn't get a experienced barista.
Food was eh though. 7/10
>>21098756
Holy shit did I not realise how many vape shops are in NZ. Literally one on every single corner and even ones connected to gas stations in the middle of nowhere. I was in the Auckland art gallery and there a a guy looking at an original Picasso and Monet with a vape just hanging out of his mouth.

>>21099709
Land of the long white cloud baby. I have a lot of family over there and visit often, it is a very well dressed shithole as far as I'm concerned. Food is disgusting and overpriced, everything is very small and plasticky and fake. Vape stores everywhere. Rugby is awesome actually but even in the most cosmopolitan and developed areas of the country all they watch and talk about is highschool sports. The hick mentality is totally inescapable. Also that treaty thing with the maori is pretty fucked.

>>21099709
>>21099752
If you have a flexible itinerary, one thing I will recommend is the marlborough sounds. Some of the most beautiful coastal hiking I have ever done in my life. The water is so blue and so gorgeous it's indescribable. And there are porpoise everywhere. Definitely worth doing.

first coffee of the day and its a 5:22 coff
bout to take my first sip...
ahhh
yep thats some goffee.
didnt do as crazy large dose as yesterday, only 25g
so much lighter
made a latte, just seems to be the right drink for the current weather.
sort of has a biscotti taste.
very soothing.

I bought some anaerobics and I thought they were going to be awesome and unique but they're pretty blasé. I think I need to finish these beans off (I feel guilty about spending money and not using all of it) and take a week or two off from coffee/espresso/etc.

>>21100414
link to the beans?

>>21100414
Turn them into desserts.

>>21097031
some people are just built different but everyone's built for cawfee

Some people aren't built for coffee but desperately cling to it. Sad really.

I had a friend who thought this video was the funniest thing ever. He would always quote it and no one would laugh or even acknowledge him when he did it. Now he messages people in my friend group getting upset when they don't answer his calls. I hate a motherfucker that gets emotional about that shit. Like why do you want to have a phone conversation? Fucking retard.

fellow leafs; what roasted-in-canada beans have you been enjoying recently? i usually order from smoking gun but i'm looking to branch out- ideally i'd just order an assortment of different roasts that sound appealing and find out myself but money's tight and i can't justify buying an extra kg of beans

>>21101250
Not a leaf. I order shit from Rogue Wave and Eight Ounce from time to time.

>>21101192
Give me his number. I'll talk to him.

>>21101250
Favourite cheap beans have been from Zavida roasters lately.
>go down to the Costco
>into the coffee aisle
>check dates on Zavida bags
>sometimes get lucky and find beans that were roasted less than three weeks ago, 2lbs for $15
Freshest I've found were 11 days from roast date. I still prefer my local roaster, but you can't beat fresh(ish) beans for $8/lb.
Not a shill. Holla at ya boy when ya see him at the Costco.

v60let here, what's the best way to make a pourover with some anaerobics?
I tried 95C water and the Hoffman method and it didn't taste fully extracted, 100C and the Hoffman method was better but not perfect

>>21101192
i mean, i get it
i tell jokes and make references for my own benefit, not those around me
nobody likes a high maintenance friend, of course
>>21101480
generally the heavier processing means anaerobic beans will extract more easily, so you might try moving in the opposite direction, extraction-wise
a shorter ratio is a good place to start
but if you really want to extract more, i would go finer or increase the ratio

>>21101496
>generally the heavier processing means anaerobic beans will extract more easily,
Really? Well shit, no wonder they haven't been great, I've been singing them in boiling water.

>>21101499
try 91°C, 22nd click on C40, 50g every 30sec, should be around 2:25 total drawdown

>>21093312

>>21101769
Careful, it's hot.

>>21101480
>>21101669
Never brew your coffee with 100C water, man. Not even the lightest roasts.

>>21101902
Who says I'm trynna talk shit, homie?

New Zealand blog post #6. Short one today as I only had one chance to grab a coffee on my way to see Mt Somers/Edoras (I reccomend you drive if you can, tours are overpriced as hell but the scenery is worth it). The Staveley Store, nice little place, bought a Latte and a short black. Surprisingly decent coffee, seemed like a medium roast, bit cinnamon-y. 7/10

Is an actual hario v60 needed and do a better job. Or are those off brand ones on Amazon for a fraction of the price (for the porcelain/metal ones) just as good seeing they seem like the same shape

>>21102833
the shape is all that matters
as long as it its the right shape and fits the right shape/size filters then its a v60
but different materials mean different thermal properties
so if you dont want plastic then get glass
but glass heats up slower so you might have to do a preheat
and with ceramic you will have to do a preheat otherwise it will suck up too much heat from the water which will lower the average brew temp and affect the brew
so its all about trade offs really.

>>21102258
BUM

>>21102847
>the shape is all that matters
fuck no, it should be plastic one for ease of use
>>21102833
plastic v60 02 is so cheap get the OG one.

>>21102847
Oh ok. I was actually thinking of going for the stainless steel one or even the copper. Mostly for durability purposes and like I said, to avoid more heated plastic. Even though the black base doesnt touch the hot water directly, I should still be ok and not have it leak into my coffee would I? It's either silicone or plastic iirc

What do you think of those. And 1cup filters should still work fine with

>>21102867
>for ease of use
i love how you just didnt read or understand anything that was being said and inserted yourself anyway.

>>21102867
>plastic v60 02 is so cheap get the OG one

I want to move away from (micro)plastics which is why I'm thinking of going for the v60 and possibly fully ditching my aeropress which I loved so much

>>21102877
>ditching my aeropress which I loved so much
they have a glass one now

Lol theyre $300 here is Australia. Iirc I got my regular aeropress for like $50aud

>>21102949
thats the trade off
aeropress with no microplastics but it costs $300 and can easily shatter

>>21102949
There's that one Australian that makes copper and stainless steel aeropresses. I'm pretty sure they're slightly cheaper than the aeropress premium. Uses an o-ring for the seal, though.

You will not have an enjoyable time grinding espresso. Get an electric grinder at your earliest convenience, or at least a K6 + an electric driver/drill.

Where is everyone buying these? Are there any places where I can throw it in with an order for beans and get free shipping?

>>21103021
Will do. Though I think I'll go with New Jersey, sopranos style.
>>21103027
I did a couple of tries trying to dial it in and so far I'm blown away. Maybe I just have shit taste because I'm used to moka pot but man, it's amazing. Yeah, if I upgrade I'm probably going with the K6 but in terms of work put in it's not too bad and I could always just use the drill with the P2 right?
It's got identical burrs to the K6, just scaled down so it takes a bit longer.
Either way, I'm not even using that fresh specialty coffee; just some beans from my grandma that were sitting in a non airtight bag for quite a while.

>>21103200
you gonna make a gabagool coffee?

>>21103224
20 years in the DHL shipping hub.
I wanted a cappuccino, I compromised.
I drank moka pot with milk "steamed" in a french press.

>>21103243
>milk "steamed" in a french press
I'm disgusted but perplexed, how does this work

>>21103247
Meant to write foamed.
Basically you heat it to desired temp in microwave.
Then pour it in and pump up and down a bunch and you get something resembling foam. Works alright, even made some basic latte art.
Nowhere near as good as proper foamed milk but better than nothing

metal bleeds heat pretty readily from my understanding
as well as adding a subtle aftertaste
theres pros and cons to everything

>>21103599
Well here's my result I don't know if it's right
I made one cup of coffee and it was ...pretty good

Mild, inoffensive, but the caffeine hit me like a train
Was it better than pre grinded coffee?
Yes
Was it worth it?

If you drink it black and just want one small cup then sure but if you put milk and sugar in all that other stuff in it doesn't really matter

>>21103571
I remember starting out with a blade grinder, Starbucks beans from the supermarket, and a big mason jar to make cold brew. oh how much money I have spent since then...

>>21103603
Not me. I put milk in mine most of the time but I can taste bad coffee right through it. However, decent coffee is just fine. I don't need the good stuff day-to-day.

Got my df54 finally. Set it up using some expired beans. Now I want to buy some in date good beans and I'm tossing up between two that Five Senses have, but I'm not sure how much to buy. I usually have one covfefe a day, however I'm worried that if I only buy 250g and dialing in takes ages I'll use up a bunch without being able to enjoy it. A kilo is a lot of beans though and it's gonna be $84, fuck. This one sounds the most like what I'd enjoy. This or the Borbollon washed honey. https://fivesenses.com.au/collections/coffee/products/leonid-ramirez-natural-colombia?variant=41707608604844

No. The adhesive bonding the metal internals to the plastic shell cannot handle the torque.

Contigo Autoseal

New Zealand blog post #7 last day.
Well, after lots of misses and a few average brews I've finally got lucky. In the town of Dunedin is a fantastic little cafe/roastery. They have two places in town according to staff but the one I went to was connected straight to the roastery. They'll do anything you want but I ordered the barista's breakfast option.
One espresso, a flat white and a filter brew.
Delicious. Two different roasts a Kenyan and a Guatemalan. The first fruity and tasting of currents, the second toffee and chocolatey. They have a bunch of brewing gear and odds and ends for sale as well as a bunch of their roasts. Only cost $14 NZD for 250g as well. Also they let you take coffee hessian sacks with any purchase as well funnily enough.
Couldn't recommend enough if you're ever there, 10/10.

I got a k6, I got decent enough coffee, I did the hoffmann single cup v60, and my cups are still pretty disappointing. I had I think 1 really good cup but since then it's been mediocre
es ist over fur mich

>>21104640

There's your problem. Hoffmann's recipe videos are meant to be the most simplistic and easiest to replicate for total beginners, not necessarily the tastiest. He obviously knows what he's talking about, but his target demographic is coffee noobs.

*keks im deutsch*

Australian news talking about Australian coffee farmers supplying the demand here. "we wouldn't be able to provide for even 0.5% of demand". I didn't even know people grew coffee here desu

>>21104796
Dunno about other parts but up on the tablelands behind Cairns and I think in the Daintree too, there's a handful of growers. I don't love what they put out but I'm glad for them.

>>21104796
>I didn't even know people grew coffee here desu
well clearly they dont.
the only land that is suited for it is super low altitude which almost universally makes bad coffee.
and if you find land that is the right altitude its protected national parks AND the wrong climate.
i dont see australian coffee growing as anything more than a hobby for some.

>>21104796
They don't call it 'the coffee capital of the world' for nothing!

Whichever one I like more I'll buy a 1kg bag. Simple as

>>21104816
most of the coffee grown in the world is low altitude
by a fairly large margin, too
and its good enough for most of the world's coffee drinkers, too
its a growing industry, and anyone who can is getting in on it

>>21104867
>most of the coffee grown in the world is low altitude

Have you tried it? Does it fit in a bottle cage?

>>21104899

>>21105733
Grinder control box. The old first gen EGs but the RPM controller / power supply in a separate box. The newer ones put it in the base.

>>21100693
Asian women aren't built like that, she's plastic. They always have square, flat asses. Take pic related for example, I thought for sure her ass was real because it looks it - flawed in the usual ways a real ass would be.

then I found her old onlyfans/fansly or whatever on coomer called ''servelilith'' where she has a typical flat asian ass.

>>21104209
I have two Contigo Autoseal bottles. Will test them in my bottle cages.

>>21105801

>>21105837
He saved about two grand compared to the newest v3 and has been able to use it for about a decade. Probably worth.

>>21105833
Because they wouldn't fit, smart guy.
I guess I could've forced them in, but I didn't want to needlessly scuff up the paint and that wouldn't reflect real world conditions anyways.
The metal bottle cages I have are similar to pic related (left), they probably would have fit if they were side-huggers like pic related (right).

>>21105837
I'm honestly not really sure. I haven't kept up with all the changes. If I were buying today, I'd probably get a P-100 or something, but I'm happy enough to have no desire to move.

>>21105427
are you asking me a question?
now that you mention it, though, the only chinese beans ive tried were from yunnan. and while they are quite good, theyre "double fermented" (a non-standardized and thus largely uninformative term) and i dont really think i cant taste anything other than the processing, so i cant speak to the quality of the bean
anyway my belief is that theyre hard at work in CCP labs developing cultivars of coffee that can survive and even prosper in the temperate lowlands of china, and theyll probably share that information with australia because the two nations have pretty good relations, at least economically
but enough schizoposting

i just opened up a natural ethiopian gesha i bought in japan
very excited to brew it (:
used my kalita wave and melodrip, came out delightful but perhaps a bit underextracted, i think i ground just a bit too coarse considering the rapid drawdown and mild flavor
still its quite nice, havent had gori gesha in a while
as it cools a lovely minty sweetness is coming out (:
the roastery (picrel) is very nice, too, very cute and small and the guy made me a pour over to sample the coffee before i bought it (there was no menu for drinks)
shouldve bought more to be desu

>>21106249
No, I want a third wave coffee.

just brewed another cup, an el salvadoran honey, melodrip and kalitas wave again but just a bit finer than i did the gesha and one fewer pour
its got this fantastic malic acidity that lingers through the finish
>>21106277
you cant handle a third wave coffee

I’m telling you Mr Barista, I want you to make me a third wave coffee! Why isn’t it on the menu?
