Had me worried for a second there.

>>21117681
why not

>>21117707
I mean I guess you can if you want but I made a double dose aeropress this morning to see what would happen and unsurprisingly the answer was "very strong, very bitter, somewhat under extracted"

which one should i buy?

>>21117731
a grinder, some cone filters, a bit of bent wire and some beans

>>21117718
howd you make it

>>21117733
Can my brother bend the wire for me? He's got a shop and some unbent wire.

>>21117734
95° water and a 30 second bloom, I didn't invert it or do anything fancy

>>21117740
what kind of ratio? did you just press it straight away?
ive had plenty of good cups with larger doses but i usually use a coarser grind, lower temperature, and let it sit for a bit. i dont even invert it half the time. if you just set the plunger, it will mostly prevent the water from flowing through the grounds. sometimes i use a really short ratio, too, like 1:4. all depends on the coffee.

Yes.

What will you be sippin' on, Anon?

>>21118433
nice dubs
i have a bunch of different coffees rn, mostly just because i roast it myself so i buy lots of different greens because they keep well but also because i was gifted a lot of nice coffee over the holiday and purchased a decent amount in japan when i was there last month
will probably start with a moka brew of this light, locally roasted blend (a gift, very solid coffee though perhaps a bit preachy in their marketing)
but after that, who knows
i like to keep it spontaneous (;
how about you

Buy an espresso machine for your office.

Which Sufi sect do I have to be initiated in to be able to digest coffee?

My espresso was pretty bitter today. Looks like I'm grinding coarser.

I don't know the correct amount of coffee to use in my half size regular drip coffee maker.
5 cup pot and I use a slightly heaping 1/8th cup scoop.
I grabbed a sample box from the local roaster up the street with 14 beans/blends?

love me some aeropress
wish i had enough counter space for an actual espresso machine, but this is doing me just fine for now
tasty cofe

not a big fan of naturals, but this is pretty nice

Feels good to be drinking real covfefe again.

i had those beans a few months ago, the leonid ramirez collection was pretty good
but is that really how you use the atmos container?
i pour my beans into it and then remove the air.
seems like a bit of a waste to just put the whole bag in there.

>>21120017
It works really well! Try it. It sucks the air out of the bag itself it's pretty cool. I found that the atmos sometimes loosened its air lock, this way if that happens the bag is fully sealed with no air. Good for travelling as well, I don't want to bring glass stuff so I suck the air out of the bag before leaving.
>ramirez collection
I bought this and alternately the Borbollon washed (haven't tried yet). So far I think it's quite true to the description and I am enjoying. Honestly I picked this one because I wanted to get close to one of the Vinhal ones I loved and it is a bit similar.

>>21119837
>wish i had enough counter space for an actual espresso machine
You know what to do, Anon.

>>21119998
What were you drinking before?

>>21120114
Instant, Moccona hazelnut. Over the Christmas period I wasn't home and didn't have any coffee stuff, was travelling. It just wasn't worth me buying good shit for it to go to waste. Before that I had Daddy's Girl and Rafael Vinha triple ferment.

>>21120073
if i weren't a rentoid, i could just install more counter space
though that might be a cool thing to have if/when i have too much money

>>21120203
If you have the space for it, just build a cheap little free-standing counter table. You can even attach wheels to it.
There are many tutorials online, but I was reminded of this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6m0XH1fV7w

Ikea GRILLSKÄR.

I tried giving up coffee while whitening my teeth, I only made it like two weeks. I was in one of the areas that had to evacuate due to the fires (everything's fine but the air quality sucks). Between the moving and new work sites and going back and then my mom suddenly getting really sick I didn't last very long and am back on the sauce.

Quitting was simultaneously harder and easier than I thought it would be. It was hard because I got legit withdrawal syndromes, felt like I had a flu that would only go away if I took little sips of coca cola. But once I got past those first 3 days I was fine and it felt pretty easy. I'm back to drinking coffee and honestly I think quitting is overrated. Yeah that's what an addict would say but I liked that coffee let me get away with so little sleep and I was already getting desensitized to caffeine so getting back on it made me anxious and I didn't like that. Just feels like there's too many benefits compared to the drawbacks.

>>21120498
Caffeine pills not an option?

>>21120501
I considered it but felt like I'd rather take on the challenge of quitting caffeine and coffee just to experience what it would be like. Also a big part of my enjoyment isn't just the caffeine but the taste and ritual of making and drinking coffee which pills lack. I'll probably give it another shot soon. My teeth are acceptable but I'm vain so I'll try quitting again to get my teeth as white as possible.

>>21120213

>>21120066
>I found that the atmos sometimes loosened its air lock
yeh the seal loosens after around a week i find.
so if you tighten it and then just leave it for a week it will let all the air back in
but its not really designed to be used like that so i dont really see it as a problem
its meant to be opened and closed every day or every other day.

>>21120683
>but its not really designed to be used like that
Are there any cannisters that are designed for long term (1 week+) storage? Besides the obvious vacuum sealer + vacuum bags combo.

>>21120739
not that i know of.
im sure it exists but yeh idk.
the problem is probably the silicon seal.
its just not strong enough to hold the "vacuum" for that long unless you make sure to give it an extra "pump" once every other day. but that sorta defeats the purpose of having long term storage.

i boil water is a stainless steel sauce pan and the toss half a sake glass of coffee grinds in then let it foam up then i remove the pan from the heat then i leave it alone for five minutes then i use a french knife to pour the coffee by holding it to the edge of the pan slightly ajar potentially catching any rogue coffee grinds. cowboy coffee. its just what we do in the wild west. Aint got no time for no french presses or drip machines... cant be bothered..

its a little funny
i confess i wouldnt know the difference in regard to his technique

>>21120842
>https://youtu.be/t71MozQoLD4?feature=shared&t=43
hes not waiting for the pressure to reverse and suck the coffee through the grounds and the filter down into the boiler.
which is literally the entire point of a syphon brewer
as soon as he takes the heat away he lifts the top of the brewer and tilts it, breaking the vacuum so the coffee just trickles down using gravity.
which is why you can see it stall, it should filter back down very quickly. but in his it isnt. its just sitting up the top because he didnt do it right.

>>21120857
maybe he thinks it tastes better that way
or maybe hes just a silly billy

>>21120859
it just seems like a normie who sees a syphon and thinks "oh yeh thats super advanced and nerdy"
like he says "if you cant tell, i am psychotically serious about my coffee" just because of the brewer he uses and not because he actually knows anything about coffee or what he is doing with the syphon or how it works or how its supposed to be used.

>>21120739
Airscape.
https://planetarydesign.com/coffee-storage/

>>21121057
thats not a "vacuum" container.
there is still the same amount of air between the beans as there would be if it was just in a bag that you squeeze the air out of.
it lasts longer because its not creating a pressure differential.

What's the difference between the different Bialetti moka pots?
I know the Brikka has that pressurised valve but what's the difference between the Moka Express and the Moka Exclusive? Or that weird shaped Venus?
A moka pot is almost as simple as it gets in construction I don't see what these different models could be adding

I want to try out pour-over, but I'm too stubborn to use anything but Melitta-style filters. Are there any recommended cones for this, or should I not even bother?

>>21121449
just buy the E&B Lab moka and be done with it
bialetti is garbage.

>>21121455
you could use a clever dripper
the large fits the #4 im pretty sure.

>>21121456
Is this really worth more than double the price of an equivalent Bialetti?

>>21121510
yes

>>21121449
The biggest difference between Bialetti moka pots would be the material, whether it's cast aluminium or stainless steel.
I've heard the quality on the aluminium models has really gone down, but I only have a stainless steel (Venus) model so I can't comment on that directly. If you want stainless steel, Bialetti's still one of the cheapest options. I'm satisfied with mine.

>>21121568
I’ve had a few aluminum bialettis over the years, most recently got a new one last year. Quality seems unchanged

does the coffee have a sell-by or roasted-on label?

for me, it's blueberry bombs

>>21122418
Nah just a suspiciously long dated best before, it is locally-ish roasted though so that's neat

I started the grinder at 2.5 grindy units and it's definitely sweeter and fresher than the big bag of generic preground coffee, I'm not sure I get the promised "berry notes" but maybe I just need to dial it in

>>21122512
update: it was tasty to the end instead of icky at the bottom, which I understand isn't proper pretentious coffee tasting language but it's a noticeable improvement over "western family house blend medium preground" sort by lowest price supermarket coffee

what bean to get in Dshermany? I need to buy beanz. In Tschermane. That's in DE, hahaha, get it? Which kafe-bohnen? Vhich roster? In my supermarket they put the roasting time on the package 15-17 minutes. What doeas it mean? Any allemaniacs who know? Haha, it's alway robusta too, I'm afraid. Hahaha.

>>21122564
>it's alway robusta too, I'm afraid
sorry for working on the information you provided in your own post, anon

>>21122568
You mean "working off of", ESL-kun.

I've been using an old plastic hand grinder and doing pourover with okay'ish beans for a few years.

Would upgrading to a 50-75 hand grinder be better than just spending that money on better beans? In higher effort periods, I'm getting something locally roasted from a coffeeshop, otherwise it's something mid tier at costco.

>>21122615
If the choice is either locally roasted beans with a cheap ceramic grinder, or Costco beans with a mid-tier steel-burr hand grinder, I'd go with the locally roasted beans and ceramic grinder.
How much does your local roaster charge that it's unreasonable to buy locally roasted coffee and still have some money left over for the nicer grinder? My local roaster charges CAD$16/lb for the cheapest single origins which I consider to be pretty reasonable despite costing twice as much per pound as Costco whole beans. But then again, I don't drink as much coffee as some people.

Latte art is the faggiest shit ever and obviously pushed because women love it and of course all the reddit males jumped on the bandwagon
Nowadays I can't even open r/espresso, it's become even worse than the mechanical keyboards subreddit

I’ve been gifted an airscape jar for Christmas and I’ve been using it for the first time a couple days ago with a fresh coffee.
Is it normal that despite being the jar airtight, there’s coffee smell in the cabinet I put the jar in?

>>21123294
I just checked, although I haven't had coffee in it for a week and a bit there's still a coffee smell from the top of the jar. Not so much in the cupboard, but I open it multiple times a day so it's unlikely to stick around.

>>21123294
>>21123316
yes
there is a one way valve to allow the coffee to degas naturally
this would happen if it was in a bag too, thats usually why they have those little circular valves on them

>>21123316
>>21123356
Thank you bros

>>21123165
There's nothing wrong with making a picture on your drink as long as it doesn't impact the coffee first and foremost. Men have been making pictures on shit since the beginning of time.

>>21123471
I still stand by my point. What are you drawing on coffee? 99% it's flowers and hearts. Which will also be demolished instantly since people stir sugar in their drinks
I mean it might be a skill worth having to impress women but please give me a normal cappuccino with a thick white layer on top anytime

>>21123494
>he doesnt appreciate the art of ephemeral beauty

I like hearts and flowers on my coffee~

>niggas can't even peacock

So I tried my first coffee with a manual grinder (kingrinder k6).

>didn't understand how to adjust the grind size, didn't know whether to start from 0 or 40 (it turned anti-clockwise past 0 to the very bottom)
>so I just counted 65 from 0 because I'm using a moka pot
>got some lower caffeine coffee beans from the store
>was slightly bitter but also thin-tasting, despite using 15g of beans

so while I thought it was good and better than what I had before (instant and pre-ground), I was still expecting more. Does the coffee taste kinda bland because it was low-caffeine? Was my grind size incorrect? I made sure to cook it without bubbling the coffee, so I think I controlled the heat well enough

>>21123729
The numbers are there just as a guide. True zero is when the adjustment cannot be tightened any further. On my K6 it's five clicks beyond zero, it was three beyond zero when the grinder was new. Every grinder is different, find the touch point on yours and work with that in mind. For example, I have to add five to whatever the dial says on my K6 to get an accurate reading.

As for thin and bland tasting coffee out of a moka pot, grind finer.
Stirring the grinds with a toothpick before leveling the bed also greatly improves moka flavour.

>>21123770
Mine started at -40, isn't that a lot?

>>21123786
yeah

>>21123786
Yeah, I've never heard of any grinder starting so far off. It's likely defective.
Contact the seller, maybe you can get a refund or replacement. If not, take it apart and see if you can align it better, but only do this if the seller refuses refund/replacement.

>>21123729
When I got my first grinder, I dialled it in by grinding a couple beans at a time, and visually comparing the output to some commercially ground coffee I had.

Are there any good metal reusable filters out there >>(you) can recommend? I have an "Osaka" brand one, which makes good coffee, but it drains slowly and gets clogged easily. I was looking at the Able Kone filter series.

>>21123810
Well I tried 65 clicks from absolute zero and it was better, had a much fuller taste but it's missing the bitterness from the finer grind which I liked too, so maybe somewhere between those would be good.

The grind seemed uneven honestly. I saw a few (what looked like) chunkier bits in between a even ground, but they also looked like the skins of the coffee beans so I don't know. Tastes a lot better than the coffee I was having before though, do you think this grinder is faulty?

how does he pour coffee underwater? or type with boxing gloves on for that matter

>>21123833
post some pics :)

>>21123852
this was after I brewed it, to me it looks uneven but I don't know really

>>21123165
latte art at least requires technique and skill. prioritizing le pretty picture over actual taste of the drink is definitely cringe but i dunno how many people are like that
>mechanical keyboards

https://youtu.be/BfDLoIvb0w4?feature=shared&t=193

>>21123879
it wasn't shit though, this tasted better than a finer grind. The finer grind tasted bitter but also thin, this didn't have any bitterness and had a much fuller taste. Also I think it's clumping a lot which makes it look coarser than it actually is, as it had just been brewed

>>21123926
no
you are wrong
that is objectively too coarse for moka.
if its still bitter on proper setting then your beans might be the problem

>>21123944
it tasted good, so you are wrong

>>21123945
then you have bad taste.
sorry.
this isnt up for debate

Make what you want of this information

Not an addiction!

>>21123861
its hard to tell from your photo but that looks coarser and less even than what my k6 produces at 65 clicks from zero
i think you may have a defective grinder
but if you like the coffee youre making thats all that really matters

>>21123861
You should make a post over on reddit. Those guys are very helpful :)
