>ran out of good creme so I'm drinking my french roast straight
If I planned on drinking it straight I'd have opted for the pinon.

>>12520973
oh shit just brewed up some gevalia and having a cup right now, woke up at 10AM feels good man

reminder that aeropress is best

dont drink coffee! its bade!

whenever i drink coffee i get horny and i waste like 3 hours doing nothing but shitposting

>>12521205

*SLUUUUUURRRRRRRRRP*

>>12520973
Made at work just for u

got a Moka Pot recently. Worked well for me after trying James Hoffman's method but it seems too inconsistent to use daily

Kalita wave is still the king

>>12520973
Like the taste of coffee, but it doesn't wake me up and only makes me want to shit, anyone know why or is this a genetic thing?

>>12521255
Me on the right.

>>12521242
Thanks, I needed that.

>>12521344
i have the doesn't wake me up thing too. doesn't bother me desu.

Based coffeeposters

I've never had a good cup of coffee

>>12520973
behold, the plastic jew pour over.
maybe I should return it.

>>12521553
Why? I thought Bodum made decent stuff?

>For best results try to use your coffee within one month of the roast date
this is from opening the bag i assume? i want to order a variety of different beans and there's no way i can consume 1kg in a month.

trying 8 o clock coffee tomorrow. had anyone had it?

>>12521558
I'm just worried about the plastic in the filter since I'll be pouring hot water on it.

>>12521615
Eh, as long as its bpa free your probably fine. Maybe other anons can give you advice to return it or not.

All I do is shit. Constant shits. All day just pooping. What the fuck is the appeal?

Couple cups of Folgers with some french vanilla creamer does the morning right.

I'm drinking the cheapest freeze dried shit there is. The effect is minimal, is it simply little to no caffeine in that horrorshow?

>>12521781
>Folgers
Kill yourself, yoy might as well be drinking liquid shit.

>>12521899
Check to see if its made with arabica or robusta; robusta had more caffeine.

>>12521925
Robusta.
Turns out it's not freeze-dried, but agglomerated. Not that it means much to me. I just want a cheap and easy source of caffeine. Pure caffeine pills aren't legal OTC here - apart from minor exceptions (painkillers with small doze of caffeine)

>>12522008
Idk of this is an option but there's an Arab store near me that stocks 1kg bags of Argentinian Yerba mate for $9, Yerba is way better than coffee for focus/sustained energy

>>12521589
Yeah it sucks

post more coffee frogs

>>12521553
Why not just get a ceramic V60 you speg

>taking time to make coffee

>>12522008
My only thought is its just very weak or you have a caffeine resistance. Maybe try finding another instant coffee brand or what this anon said. >>12522445

Does drip machine ruin every roast from generic to kopa luwak? Nothing makes difference

>>12520973
You're all fantastic anons and I hope your next cup of coffee is damn fine.

>>12522445
>Argentinian Yerba
Will look for it, but it sounds like something that would be banned for no reason here. Like L-Theanine, can't be sold, but can be imported or something.

>>12522590
I think that it's mostly weak. I probably have some resistence from drinking quite a lot of coffee over the years. From what I found out, that type of coffee contains 2-5% caffeine, so a cup that the package suggests is 2g, that's 40mg caffeine. A big cup would be 80 mg, and two cups the same as an energy drink (without the sugar and shit).

>>12522853
>40mg a cup
That stuff's like tea then. I would look for another brand man.

>>12522847
>>12522847
Guayaki is the most common brand in the states but it's really expensive, Cruz de Malta is what I'm talking about. Don't get tea bags, just French press it with 170° water or in an infuser basket, you can get a lot of uses out of each dose.

>>12521910

Nothing more soy than nitro coffee

>>12522565
What the fuck does nitro even mean

>>12522565
Coffee beans were wasted to make that abomination

>>12524686
Instead of it being carbonated, its nitrogenated, which is supposed to make the coffee's mouth feel smoother and creamier. I think it doesn't work too well unless you get it off a coffee tap though.

>>12524747
inb4 anyone else does it

>I love nitro coffee
>makes the coffee so much smoother and creamier

What is the puerh of coffee?

>>12524758
That coffee that's shitted out by those little rodent creatures in asia. Overpriced trash

>>12524758
puerh is the coffee of tea

I don't have an espresso/moka pot anymore, but my first default choice for coffee is either Cafe Bustelo for the availability/price/ quality in a standard pot or whatever nice Keurig pods I can find at the store. I miss Death Wish coffee, I had a bag of that like two years ago and it was pretty killer.
I'm not sure why I'm posting in a coffee thread at 4:20 AM though.

>>12524767
Interesting. This makes sense because lesbians are obsessed with shit.

I want to go to sleep and wake up and drink coffee, but I also want to stay here to post about coffee. I like coffee a lot.

instant hazelnut flavoured coffee, i am too lazy to grind beans

>>12524840
I know, I'm not tired at all yet. I wish it was Sunday already, there's this cool ass Thai Buddhist temple by my house that does a fresh made pad thai breakfast to order with local specialty vendors and thai style coffee/tea for a buck a pop, all runs on customer donation of like 6-8 bucks a meal. Hopefully my dumb ass doesn't sleep in tomorrow.

>>12521583
No it's from the roast date as the co2 level is diminishing (actually way too high for about a week after roasting) and volatile flavour compounds will vaporise and enter atmosphere when you open the bag instead of being extracted into the water used to brew your coffee. Additionally oils will oxidise and change flavour over time although this will be mitigated by not opening the bag.

>>12524876
fug, thanks anon. oh well, i get through a 220gram bag in about 3-4 weeks so i'll order a different roast once a month.

Do you put your moka express on high heat and pull it off the stove if it gets too hot, or just let it simmer at medium-low heat?

>>12524937
I usually like going high heat to serve it up piping hot and fresh made to sip on. I feel like if you let it sit in the pot longer you'll get more of the aroma in the room, and possibly less flavor in your drink. But that's just hypothesis, I do not own a moka pot at this current time.

>>12524937
medium, then turn the hob off as it 'rises up'.

>>12524937
Put hot water in the reservoir first off, then high heat (with the burner already preheated before you put the moka on) until it fills up a bit less than halfway. Pull it off the heat then and once the coffee chamber is full, run the water reservoir under cold water to stop brewing.

does using coffee filters instead of paper towels make a difference in taste?
I'm a cheapskate so I've been using paper towels and sometimes the coffee tastes great, other times it tastes like cigarette butts

It's 5 am here boys, bout to grind some beans and make, you guessed it, coffee.

I do like some heavy cream with mine in the morning.

>>12525027
>heavy cream
cringe, but at least it's less cringe than milk or (((creamer)))

>>12525029
I find that milk and creamer both affect the coffee flavor more than heavy cream.

Don't have an espresso machine or a steam wand so I like to fill my mug up with boiling water beforehand to get the heat evenly high, then add the cream after letting it sit out of the fridge for a few minutes. Works a lot better than microwaving it and having it curdle.

>>12524807
Death wish is a scam brand for retards

>>12525170

>>12525170
Eh, I had a metalhead /fit/ bro who used to keep it on hand, I never bought it myself. It tasted pretty good but shits expensive yo.

So, I'm a poor fag that grinds their coffee in store, about 3-4 days worth to keep it "fresh". This morning I found a bag of grounded up coffee in my pantry that i don't remember grinding. Im just kinda confused now.
>>12524758
Maybe Colombian cause it tends to have earthy flavors.
>>12524937
My instructions said to use medium heat on electric stovetop, so I put it to medium and pre heat it while I get the water abs pot ready, then put in boiling water in the bottom, then put it on top. I usually get a nice flow around 20 secs after.
>>12525006
Stop being that cheap and get cheap unbleached filters. Im pretty sure they put chemicals or some shit on paper towels. Might not kill you, but is probably making your coffee taste like cigs.
>>12525046
Thoughts on half&half? I agree milk somehow affects coffee flavor more.

>>12525239
Once I took the heavy cream pill I couldn't go back.

>>12525201
I say that because you can buy robusta for way fuckingn cheaper than they sell it. They are literally marking up the lowest grade of coffee to specialty prices and fleecing people who don't know any better.

>>12525006
What the fuck is wrong with you?

>i want the coffee when i want it not a day later
>make an espresso shot instead and then just dilute it with tap water and add ice cubes
>comes out just as good for 30 seconds effort

slow cold brew is a meme

>>12524930
You could try being decadent and upping the dose to use it faster. If you've got an espresso machine try a triple basket and pull 20g doubles. Or just use it to experiment if you've been curious about some brewing methods. 2 coffees a day in a French press will use 1kg in less than a month (like 3 weeks).

In any case it's not like beans become totally gross after a month they just start tasting more generic. You don't get the "tasting notes" ringing as true.

What's some good pre-ground coffee/espresso

>>12527521
Congratulations, you made an iced americano. Perhaps one of the most disgusting ways to have coffee. Cold brew has far more caffeine and a much smoother taste. You're entitled to your opinion, but are wrong in the assertion that what you made is cold brew. The processes are much different.

I add two teaspoons of the cheapest store brand instant coffee I can find to a cup of hot water and then I add milk to it until it stops being black.

>and I love it

>>12529757

Thats nice dear.

I buy mocca and espresso style beans.

I grind and press.

I boil and whip milk for some quick foam.

If I have leftovers in my press, I bottle it woth vanilla sugar and milk and refrigerate it.

Any quesions?

As a 3 pot moka user, I think last time I measured how much i put in the funnel, its about 20grams. So try to figure out how much you might go through on that. I seems to take me 2-3 weeks on a regular bag of coffee.

That was pretty good for a soy burrito.

Gevalia is one of the better tasting preground coffee. Use to use it for my basic bitch k*rig days.

thanks friend.

If you're not drinking locally-roasted, small batch, unwashed, Ethiopian yirgacheffe that was roasted no more than 3 weeks ago, ground in a high-quality steel burr grinder, through a V60 with Japanese filters, made with Third Wave Water poured from a temperature-controlled gooseneck kettle, at a ratio of between 1:15 and 1:17, weighed exactly, with a brew time of 3:30 maximum, and drinking it black, you're doing it wrong.

This is a really shit coffee thread, right? Like a bunch of dipshits?

>>12521615
I have that one and it's fine anon. It's nice to have the option of a metal filter if you want more of the oils in your cup. Obviously it doesn't stay warm for shit so you're either going to have to drink it all at once or get it in a travel mug or thermos or something

>>12533954
french press is superior

>>12533985

I'm not going to argue, but a drip sieve is better than that at least. A french press is terrible. I've broken 3 and they never made good coffee. Get a paper drip or a stainless drip sieve. Or an espresso machine. Then a fucking french press.

>>12533995
>drip coffee
yikes

>>12533985
Fr*nch press sucks for making actual coffee. Ever since I got a V60 I have only used my Fr*nch press for making cold brew and yerba mate.

>>12533995

I am a complete coffee pleb despite drinking 2 cups a day, I use blend with a kruig machine. How do I start not being a faggot

>>12537796
I started a rule about a month ago where I can only drink a good coffee if I've had shit coffee. I also cut all sodas, energy drinks and vitimín water out of my diet. Results have been interesting. I can taste more of what's going on in my cup.
If I were you I'd kick the k***g out and start drinking light/medium roast coffee as it'll have a larger flavour profile. Dark coffee can be good but more often than not has a heavy tobacco kind of taste due to it being roasted longer.

>>12537844
>I also cut all sodas, energy drinks and vitimín water out of my diet
I don't drink that shit

I also don't drink kruig's coffee, just generic blends from markets using a kruig machine. I want to be a coffee asshole but don't know where to start

>>12521242
Other than the paycheck, Coffee is the other plus of having a job. It's an excuse to Drink all the coffee you can and show off.

>>12537857
Throw away the machine, it is literally inferior to a stovetop kettle. Get a Burr grinder first, and then whatever brewer you want. Drip pot is fine especially for people who can't see themselves going through a pourover routine every day, as long as you buy good beans and grind right before brewing your coffee will be infinitely better, freshness is the biggest factor - both in roast and grind.

I figured out why the coffee from my parents cuisinart k*rig doesn't taste like ass. The k-cup basket is a little bigger and longer than normal. Also apparently my dad has an old Mr. Coffee espresso machine that has the frother wand. Might look into it for chuckles.
>>12546486
A lot a people don't like cold brew compared to iced coffee because the brew doesn't extract the "sour" or acid from the coffee, thus not always being full flavor. Cold brew is great if you need to use up stale beans or if your brewing low acid coffee and prefer more robust notes.

Should I try the new coffee beans I got now or be patient and wait till tomorrow morning?

>>12546667
Are they freshly roasted? If yes wait a week.

is there a filter for aeropress that is similar to chemex natural ones. or just something finer than the standard ones?

>does using coffee filters instead of paper towels make a difference in taste?

As long as you're not using one of those brands that has soap in the towels, already, I don't see that being a problem. I use paper towels, when I brew, and it doesn't taste any different from when I used to use a Cuisinart with high-end paper filters.

Looks comfy.

Should I be using preboiled water in a moka pot, or letting it heat from cold in the bottom on the burner to heat up inside.

Ive used preboiled in the past which has worked well, but I tried it from cold water this morning. I'm not sure if my heat was too high or anything like that but it didn't make as good as a brew imo. But I've read its better to start from cold. So what to do?

>>12550558
Italians like to start from cold, but if you want less bitterness use hot water in the bottom.

>>12550536
thought you posted my desk for a sec
good taste anon

>>12550562
Is that so? When I did it this morning from cold it made a worse coffee in pretty much every way. I mean it wasn't bad or anything, enjoyable, but every other time I've made it with the preboiled water it's been much better.

I guess I'll keep experimenting.

Sipping on pic related from Aldi's. It's pretty good. Kind of a sweet stone fruit acidity with warm dark chocolate notes. Got about 3-4 days left of it, then im trying these guys>>12548836 Got curious about arabica/robusta blends.

Any recommendations for non manual grinders?
My hario is making me sad

>>12551964
baratza encore.

>>12520973
is all coffee just inherently bitter or am I a tastelet?

>>12547085
Yeah, you just have to grind the coffee beans, combine them with water, stir, steep for 24, strain with cheesecloth (maybe in a few batches), then move to a different jar.

Or just buy a container for $5.

>>12552089
Yes, but it can be a pleasant bitterness. Though there is shit coffee that is terribly bitter. Good news is once life has made you bitter, you dont notice it as much.

P.s. if your soyboi photoshop anon I know you can do better.

Do I need to store beans in an airtight container with a valve?

>>12552237
it helps but unless you're storing stuff for weeks it isn't the end of the world to use a normal container. our shop uses a bucket for service coffee.

>>12552248
thanks lad. i get through a bag in about 3 weeks.

>Did you make pudding at 4am?
No but I gamed until 6 am when I finally passed out, I also did make cold brew at around 4 am, so I'll check that now

>>12552488
How'd it turn out?

>>12553034
Drinking it now it's good

Having a cozy white night. Watcha having, lads?

So is Ethiopian coffee basically the best coffee because it's the origin of the plant? Usually the best delicacies grow in their natural habitat.

>>12521615
It's a kind of plastic that's safe for boiling water. Not much different than the plastic in most drip coffee makers.

>>12548836
All of those Lavazzas are garbage. I tried each one in my espresso machine and they're all low quality pre-ground coffees that taste stale. Even the bean coffee is mediocre. It's a step up from Maxwell house but a far cry from even decent coffee IMO. McDonalds coffee tastes better.

Lotta people will disagree but I really like Ethiopian coffees, the most varieties exist there, something like 6000+ unique that can't be found anywhere else as the rest of the world's coffee is based on just a few mutations of coffee taken from there. Geisha is generally considered the "best" varietal though.

>Ratio of Coffee-to-Water (55 g/L ± 10%)
Thoughts on this so-called golden ratio?

>>12554946
>1:18
nigger what are you doing

>>12554988
Yes, that's the ratio, my fellow nigger.

>>12555031
Don't you understand, to get full-flavor bold coffee you have to brew at a 1:1 pour-over. NO EXCEPTIONS. Anything else is just wasting your money. Actually you should just skip the pour over and toss the grinds in your mouth and swish with water.

Get chemex filters and you're good to go with that pourover

do you guys drink a traditional amount of coffee (5-6 oz), or a starbuck amount (8oz to 31oz) in one sitting?

>>12555340
I have a 1L french press and it fills my coffee thermos and around half of one of my cups, I fill the rest of that cup up with milk to cool it down so I can down it in a few seconds, then sip the rest of the coffee black from the thermos over the work day

>>12543787

fuck IPAs
literally the worst beer

I have a stovetop maker and have used an illy preground which was fine for what it was. I ordered freshly roasted coffee online ground for my stovetop and didnt open it for 4 days. I did my usual routine:
>use filtered boiling water, let it rest for a minute
>pour into bottom chamber below safety valve
>put grinds in the mesh bit, not tamping
>screw top and bottom bit together and place on medium heat on pre-heated hob
>remove from heat and apply col towel when it spouts from the top and starts hissing
It has an odd sourness to it and tastes a bit weak. It's a medium roast. Am I doing anything wrong? I know coffee loses a massive amount of flavour when it's pre-ground but still. Should I have let it rest for more than 4 days? Is my process wrong? I want to perfect it before my grinder arrives and I make the switch to wholebean.

which one do you have?

Zojirushi SM-SA60-BA because I'm a weeb

well I hope yours is made in Japan instead of Thailand.

>>12556082
Nah, are any of them still made in Japan? Anything that isn't China is usually fine with me.

Bump

>>12548999
me too haha
also checked

>>12520973
I recently bought the Sumatra Kerinci from Ceremony Coffee Roasters, which is based out of Annapolis, MD, USA. I think it may be too light of a roast.

>>12521781
Just don't try better coffee if you're happy with what you have. Otherwise, there's no turning back.

I was a "no bullshit" coffee kind of guy, cream + sugar and nothing else, and I drank tons and tons of coffee for a long time and only recently discovered the joys of espresso... A double shot of espresso really delivers a good hit of energy to the fuckin body, eh??

>>12558658
oh absolutely.

Why the fuck do people think nothing of saying shit like, "You look tired"?
>>12553079
Nice.
>>12553113
Those biscuits look good.
>>12553192
Im not trying them expecting them to be premo.
>>12555340
I drink around 9oz so closer to traditional.
>>12555859
Hmmm, I have had this happen before, is it still doing that?
>>12558598
How do you brew it?

nothing like a piping hot cup of joe on a hot and humid day

If you guys drink your coffee black, do you still have cream and sugar for guests or don't care?

all the electric gooseneck kettles seem to be 1L
does anyone know of a cheap 2L?

Bump

>>12521205

>>12562307
Let life turn you bitter. Then you don't notice it anymore.

>>12562342
hapy birtday!!! *blowsparty tube*

>>12560063
I have milk and sugar in the house at all times I almost never make for others though

>>12560063
I've never had a guest before and even if I did have one I probably wouldn't make him or her coffee and even if I did make him or her coffee then they would be drinking it black even though I do have milk because it's supposed to be drunk black.

>mfw I just ordered a Breville Oracle
