/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I like my coffees here too long but it has to a good pick me and the coffee is a decent place to go to eat and eat it for all my summer and I don’t have a good place here but the service here has always made my point to be honest

On Vancouver Island for two days. I have to say, hotels are fertile hunting grounds for shit coffee. The fuck is this shit??

yeah i got mine from dunkin donuts
its got 2 cream and 2 sugar
i'll probably get another one tomorrow

>>12464355
If I wanted to save the planet I wouldn't buy this. Thank god it's complementary

This reminds me so much of the decaf espresso from Costa coffee. The stuff came in the exact same style of packaging and is in what is essentially a bloody tea bag.

>>12464420
I'm putting this off too long

tims preground in my french press because I'm lazy, it's disgusting

>>12464568
Can't be worse than this shit. Smells like generic "dark" and just tastes really bitter. Not picking up anything. You know how you can get those "Fruit flavour" sweets and candies? This is the "Fruit" flavour of shit coffee.
I'm going to the pool to forget about this.

Is there any way to make my brewed coffee "thicker"? I want to see if I can get the consistency of maple syrup without diluting the flavor. Would gelatin work?

>>12465177
don't do this unless youre baking something

>>12465177
Try a moka pot. It brews richer coffee since there is now coffee particles in it.

>>12464515
OMG STFU

I think coffee is helping with my weed withdrawal. About to brew another 6 cups and work on indie game dev.

Everytime I drink coffee, I want to shit. What do?

For me, instant Folger's seems to be a bit more about the new York NY and the other coffee or any attachments are not the way to be able to see if we have any questions.

Mexico and it's a mix of arabic grain and mexican grain.
>You getting any more or you gonna buy something else?
Yeah, to be honest, i don't have the income to buy better quality coffee like Folgers but this coffee is also great quality and also tastes great.

>>12464355
I was in transit for practically the whole month of May. Had a lot of hotel coffee. Always ran a pot of hot water to dump out before the coffee in case the machine wasn't clean.

Gotta say, still better than the average k-cup. No idea why, it's essentially the same thing.

>>12468602
To be fair, you're right. If I had a kurig in my room, I'd be wishing I had this. I should take my grinder and coffee with me whenever I travel

>>12468564

That's all the problem was and not some further issue, right? Scared of this thing breaking since I bought it as a souvenir a while ago (wanted one anyway)

>>12471500
Not him but it's pretty much just like regular pour over but using coarser grounds and a less intense flavour. At least that's the effect for me anyhow and I don't drink pour over much.

>>12464251
i got a tub of McCafe coffee. i dont recommend it.

>>12464251
This is the only coffee that I can find that's relatively strong enough just straight black. It's the only coffee I can enjoy anymore.

Anyone have recommendations for a super strong coffee so I have more options?

Sick of trying something that says "DARK BOLD" on it but it turning out to be fucking water.

>>12471712
>strong

Strength comes from the brew ratio. When a company says strong they mean how overroasted their coffee is.

>>12470770
is that a bowl of mashed pineapple?

>>12471712
With k**rig you should only be using the smallest cup size option. The amount of coffee never changes, all the larger sizes do is dilute more. Or just stop being a k-cuck and get a drip machine

do you know any secret menu coffee restaurants i know one for starbucks that if you ask for a hulahula coffee they add in rum to hawaian coffee if you promise not to tell

Ohhhhh, foodie has new filters. Also realized I didn't do the questions.
>what you drinking
A coffee from aldis called "best friend" which is a blend of 2 light roast and 1 dark roast.
>where from
I think the two light roasts was an acidic columbian and a floral Ethiopian.
>getting anymore
No cause while sounding novel the dark roast they used is shit tier; tastes of burnt and ash. Went through the trouble of separating the beans to grind separately and tasted much better. I got another whole bean bag from Aldi's I'll be trying soon.
>>12470656

I only put cream (or “””cream”””) in bad coffee. Otherwise it’s black.

I like your mug. Did you get it at a museum?

Mccafe coffee grounds in a $9 dollar drip machine. Honestly delicious. Normally put some milk in it but I'm out so I'm using heavy cream that's in the fridge.

Best way to prepare black coffee?

>>12478640

Maybe. Its definitely waaaaay better than "best friend" coffee. Has a stone fruit tartness and bitter dark chocolate sheet taste. If I walk down and there's more for cheap, yes. Otherwise im going to find out what is the best basic bitch brick coffee.
>>12479514
How tolerable is it?
>>12483298
Based moka anon. Never seen Lavazz in a gold bag before.

>>12483610
I haven't tasted a lot of instant, but I get the appeal if you travel a lot, camping, or if you like to make a no fuss coffee drink. What brands do you like?

hey /ck/ I've done coldbrew once before and really loved it.
Only problem now is I have a tiny ass apartment with a small fridge and almost no storage.

What's the most space-effective and least messy way to do cold brew? I can fit maybe 3x 1 gallon jugs in the fridge

>>12483736
Get the Mason jar quart kit off Amazon. Can't go wrong with metal and glass.

>>12483610
It's better than podshit. Even if it will never match fresh ground, it serves its purpose well and there's no reason to hate it.

>>12483767
looks like there are a bunch of good options at the $20 range, thanks anon
cold brew might be a meme but it really helps reduce the acid stomach I get from normal coffee, and I'm so done with wasting $ at coffee shops
cheers

>>12483780
Cold brew is not at all a meme, it's the best use for beans once they start to stale and it packs a caffeine punch. Only ordering single origin espresso shots, and nothing else, from cafes is patrician tier.

>>12483791
I kinda meant meme in the sense of people being way too into it - but it's true it does have a lot of benefits.
Just moved so I have no cookware and have been buying normal coffee everyday.
I can appreciate buying some fancy coffee as a treat, but for everyday I need to do my own and those kits look perfect.
Thanks again, and may your coffee be smooth and flavorful

>>12483818
I try to limit myself but the cafe by my work has great coffee and I'm love with a barista there

Grinded up just the dark roast from "best friends". The shitty taste alone will wake you up.

This is probably the best reason to get into coffee

>>12483610
>thoughts on instant coffee?
The latinos at my job keep this in a locker and sometimes bring it out in the morning to share. They put agave in it without any creamer, and I don’t know why but holy FUCK it’s good. I’ve been meaning to order some for myself off Amazon.

The coffee they buy at my workplace is fucking terrible. It tastes like dirt with a little acrid burnt coffee mixed in. It's worth way more than the 3¢ I spend on a my preground stuff from Costco to have a cup of coffee that isn't fucking awful.

I've been stuck in a place that only has instant coffee, I've gotten used to it and I guess embrace the suck. It's alright tasting now. Been drinking it black, and on a good day I'll just throw in some condensed milk

I've been trying the not-cheapest preground one can find in a German supermarket.
Dallmayr Classic and Prodomo tastes pleasant but makes me feel sick.

I don't need you to tell me how fucking good their coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it, I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping, she buys shit. Me, I buy the gourmet cheap stuff because when I drink it, I want to taste it.

Maxwell House, black, with raw cacao powder.

Can anyone help me up my coffee game? I usually just do Maxwell coffee in a French press every morning but every now and then I try something new when I go to a coffee shop with colleagues for their bullshit productivity meetings

I like the taste of other coffee but don't know what it is. I can't even describe the type of coffee I like, someone recommend me some stuff.

I really like the Kirkland bold coffee Keurig cups and Folgers Black Silk. Maxwell is ok, I bought cause it was cheap. Usually drink them black, hot or cold

>>12496891
Literally just buy any fresh coffee, you can't possibly get worse than folgers k-cups

>>12496891
Buy a cheap bean grinder and try to find a shop in your area that roasts beans fresh. Buy them whole and grind what you need each morning. If there arent any roasters in your town just buy whole beans from a supermarket. Every brand you listed only makes pisswater and it isnt worth drinking.

>>12496879

Fresh baked cookies with fresh coffee. Ultimate kino.

Getting married next year, and the old lady is putting together a wedding registry. As she was bugging me for ideas, I figured I might get into Chemex, since it only needs a good temp.-controlled kettle, a food scale, and a good grinder. Per Serious Eats, I was going to get the Baratza Virtuoso+ — which looks to be consistent and durable, with a lowest setting that's very fine. The missus said that it would be too expensive, since some of the guests are not very wealthy (though her aunts and uncles are loaded).

With this in mind, I was wondering if y'all had a manual burr grinder you'd recommend. All I am really looking for is consistency in the finer grinds. Ideally, the finest grind would be fine enough to also make Turkish coffee, but pourovers are the main focus. Portability (within reason) and effort exerted are not concerns at all, as it's going to live in the kitchen and I welcome a good sweat.

>>12500387
Just get the encore instead it's like half the price. Also think, are you really about to commit to learning how to do a proper pourover and then do that every single morning? Is your wife willing to do that?

>>12500743
>are you really about to commit to learning how to do a proper pourover and then do that every single morning? Is your wife willing to do that?
We have prescriptions for legal speed, so we don't drink coffee daily. I like kitchen rituals and would happily do the work for coffee. But is a "proper pourover" really so difficult? I thought it was just:
>weigh beans
>grind beans
>heat water to a specific temp
>wet filter
>put beans in filter
>pour water over beans
How much more complex could it be? It's not like we're looking to win the WBC.

>>12500783
I mean I'm not trying to make it seem like it's hard, but it's definitely more involved than just pouring all your water over the grounds. There's like, circles and stages and timing and stuff.

Never managed to do better than boil coffee with pic related. An Italian friend told me how to actually use it. Ambrosia. I ascended.

>>12500800
Any sources you recommend? Just been reading the coffee guy who writes for Serious Eats.

>>12500806
based moka chad.

>>12500826
I think Chris baca has a tutorial. Again it's not difficult but you're gonna be standing over your chemex at least 5 mins every time you brew. You always start with a bloom, then typically pour in 50g increments, or divide your water into 3-4 pour stages at set time intervals. I mean you don't have to do all this but with pourover the advantage comes from learning technique to draw out flavors from the coffee, you start to learn what you like from certain coffees and how to accentuate that the best or else you might as well just buy a drip machine.

>>12495143

"Café culture" is not "coffee culture".
People enjoy sitting at a café terrasse, have a coffee and a cigarette and watch passers-by. It doesn't mean that the coffee will not be crap.

>>12504858
>Im not even shitting on the coffee necessarily just your attitude "not opening a bag of Taylor's just for myself"
the problem is that stuff doesnt last long at all (maybe 10 cups in a packet) if i buy the regular grind and ive given up on espresso pots because every time i buy one the fucking handle snaps. if i had one of those that lasted id probably save the freeze dried shit for when im in a rush. as is though, i dont fancy spending £10-15 a month just so i can have a marginally nicer cup of coffee than the stuff i usually buy.

for now i buy pre-ground coffee as the grinder i want is out of stock. for the pot itself, decide on the cup size you want. i have the 4 cup version which is just for myself. ideally, throw away the first 3 coffees you make as they won't taste nice. use hot water for the moka pot and pre-heat your heat source (electric/gas). keep the lid up on the pot during the process. when the coffee starts to rise up, as it makes a hissing sound, put the bottom part of the pot under a cold tap for a few seconds to halt the extraction process. then pour the coffee into a cup and stir.

thanks for the advice

>>12506778
good luck lad.

>>12501172
what about the Saeco Aroma??
and while out of my comfort zone for cost what about something like the La Pavoni Esperto?

>>12506795
SBDUs suck, la pavonis are expensive and have a huge learning curve. Unless you're trying to start a new hobby and are willing to learn, dont waste your money when you can put that 200-$300 towards a really good grinder and brew set up, your coffee will taste way fucking better every day and it won't be such a pain in the ass and wasted coffee just to pull a mediocre shot

>>12506526

seriously anon, how hatd can it be?

>hobby
i just want espresso
i don’t really like regular coffee and there isn’t a cafe conveniently nearby

>>12508018
Yep, and no you don't have yo buy theirs; at least not at the Luckys market I go to. I think Fresh Market had grinders, and Publix used to have grinders but get rid of them I think 3-5 years ago. Non uber big basic chain stores might have them. Or places where you can buy in bulk.

youre right, ill switch to plain water from now on

for you guys who buy pre-ground coffee: how do you store it?
i usually buy a pound.
i put half in a jar with a screw top lid and then store that in the fridge.
i levae the rest in the bag it came in and stick that bag inside a freezer ziplock and put that into the freezer

>>12506820
>la pavonis are expensive
i believe anon said his budget was up to $1000 and they're actually below that price.
hurr durr i can't afford one so you shouldn't buy it

I was in a coffee shop this morning people watching - as you do - and as I'm looking around I overhear a customer ordering a double espresso and a mint tea to go. All well and good until they go over to the sugar station, pour out a bit of the mint tea and then dump the double espresso in the tea. I don't think I could hide my disgust as they looked over in my direction.

>>12509306
at least they didn't add mayo

>>12509306
did they make you drink it?

>>12508038
>how hard can it be?
Lever machines, especially pavonis that don't use a spring mechanism, require very precise pressure on your end, and are gonna be extremely punishing if your grind is off/your prep sucks. Plus your temp management is a lot harder with the style of boiler it uses. dialing it in is a fucking bitch to do because of your temp stability and how involved the process is compared to a semi auto.
>I just want espresso
And that's my point, when you're buying an espresso machine you're gonna have to learn about it if you don't want to pull shit tasting gusher shots. If you think you're gonna just wake up in the morning, grind, tamp, pull, and go you're gonna be disappointed.
>>12509257
It's expensive because I'm assuming this anon doesn't even have an espresso grinder yet, so $1000 on a fully manual machine plus 500-1000 for a grinder to use it is gonna add up. To even get to the point of an espresso setup paying for itself you're gonna be drinking 2-3 shots a day for a couple years. Just get an aeropress or a moka pot, you can spend more of your money on actual coffee instead of trying to live out this romantic dream of sipping a cappuccino every morning.

I dropped coffee for sungazing.
Not once have i looked back.

i still don’t see it being THAT hard.
do you have one? or real experience using one?

>paying for itself
this isn’t a concern

how do I stop being lazy and use my aeropress instead of just using instant

>>12509644
I'm not trying to turn you off to it, I'm just trying to be realistic since you said you're not interested in a hobby. I have experience working with espresso machines yes, and I know enough about them to say the average person is going to find a pavoni a hassle to use. What grinder do you have?

>>12509878
They make it look too easy.
https://youtu.be/kxlGz2OH6lY

>>12510059
I said "learning curve" not "impossible task" what level of experience do you have? It's gonna take some time before you pull perfect shots and some of it comes down to muscle memory... again I say go for it if you're interested but I think you should read up a little more. And you never answered, do you have a good espresso grinder?

>>12510069
Not that anon asking about espresso. Just got interested and found this video. Im waaay too poor.

Got to wake up to the house smelling of curry and bullion ass from roommates coming last night. Couldn't drink coffee outside cause of mosquitos. Only safe haven was my brothers computer cave.
>>12507026
If I got a pink keyboard it would be that one.
>>12507839
Went and looked it up. Sounds tasty. Did you have some old beans to use or just wanted to brew them a different way.
>>12509306
It sounds like they just wanted a minty americano, but couldn't they ask for mint extract added or something. Just seems like a lot of money.

can you recommend one?

i won’t say that i have an unlimited amount of time and money to invest, but it’s not going to be a hardship for me if i spend ~$2000+ initially
not sure if this matters, but i don’t care about steamed milk
i just want espresso, at home
and re hobby
i guess i’m willing to deal with trial & error but i’m not but i’m going to sit there making 50+ servings of espresso

It's been a while since I researched this because I was on the same path as you until I ultimately decided to save my money (and upgrade the fuck out of my pourover setup instead)
>OE Pharos 2.0
$300, titan class burrs, fully manual (but you're getting a la pav so I don't think this is a turnoff), by far the best value for quality you can get without any frills
>bunnzilla
Basically buy a Bunn G series and throw in Ditting burrs to get home rigged EK43 for around $400
>baratza 270wi
$600 I think is their best option, has a scale to grind by weight and some sort of algorithm improve accuracy over time
Im sure there are other options but these are the best value I can remember from when I looked while still staying in an affordable range

Due to a mixup I recieved two bags of Ethiopian, and the fastest way to get rid of coffee is to make cold brew.

French press drunk black, imported mexican beans, probably won't get the same kind again. Moved to a town with a coffee shop that roasts beans fresh and buy whole beans from them. Thinking about the honduran beans next. Anyone have some south american country recommendations for me to try next?

I use a cuisine art grinder+coffee maker and I use distilled water, drink it straight BLACK.

>>12471712
literally any of the ~$5 - $10 brewing tools you can buy give you complete control over strength, they taste better, are less wasteful and just as, if not more convenient than your retarded Gayrig machine

So I'm kinda new to drinking coffee.
When I get the runs from it, I am supposed to go to the bathroom and shit right? It's so annoying. It hurts my tummy really bad, and my butthile sometimes burns from it, and it is a mess to wipe up.
I like drinking coffee but shitting is so horrible. Am I doing something wrong? Am I supposed to hold it in?

>>12505398

I buy the huge bags of Wegman's brand Kona Dream.

It is exactly what I want from coffee.

>>12515116
perhaps you're drinking it on an empty stomach? that can cause digestive issues.
do you drink your coffee with milk and are you lactose intolerant?

>>12515229
Always with milk. I'm not lactose. I do tend to drink it during the morning before I've eaten anything.

>>12515236
it might be that - even if you're not lactose intolerant, milk can cause a bit of stomach upset on an empty stomach, especially combining it with a bitter acidic drink.
maybe try black - or with a little cream instead of milk, it's much easier to digest

black from a french press three times a day

>>12515293
Hmm. I drink about a quarter gallon to half a gallon of milk every day by itself. Maybe it is the mix with the coffee.
I'll try cream or black with sugar.

>>12464251
Made 2 liters of cold brew. It was made with free, shitty coffee. But it's still irresistible.
Currently shitting my brains out after my third cup.

What's the best food to eat with coffee?

>>12515503
Something sweet but not too sweet like cake.

How do I make cold brew coffee? Do I just grind the beans and let them steep inside a bottle with water in the fridge?

Cafe Bustelo in an Aeropress
I wouldn't begrudge it being called "soy" in the shitpunk parlance
but it tastes fine and it's very quick easy and convenient
I put milk in it, usually UHT, I don't go through milk much so it works well and I find it's a little creamier than 'fresh'. Where I'd usually use fresh whole-milk I find UHT 2% does the trick.

Get a decent Cafétiere - One that is steel and will keep your coffee warmer for longer

>>12514923
Just know when you grind it it needs to be coarser than espresso and finer than automatic drip.

>>12515799
>Cafétiere
Ok so I get it, now what? what kind of grounds do i use? I plan on drinking it black. looking to get really thin like people on /thinspo/ so whatever is the healthiest/best for thinning out.

>>12515814
lmao cuck

>>12515817
>aaaayyyyyyy lmfao

>>12515816

Black coffee overall is pretty damn good. It's the healthiest option overall.

All I'd say for the grounds is if you're grinding your own, you want something with the consistency of Kosher or sea salt, Most grounds you buy out of shops should be fine. Roast and brand is your choice.
