Granted, I worked as a barista for a while a couple years ago so I already had some idea on how to pull a decent shot.

For fuck's sake you Canadians are fucking retarded. Stainless insulated press, scrape scum/floating grounds, let settle, pour into paper filter. Literally cannot make better coffee. I'd stake my reputation as a troll on it.

The other week I started saving (sacrificing) about 10g of beans as a color sample of a particularly sucessful batch for a difficult coffee. I hadn't really needed to do this before, but this coffee tastes the best at an extremely narrow window. I can match it every batch now. I don't doubt that this is an age old trick.

You definitely don't NEED one, it just makes it easier to pour consistently. Like if you already have a kettle you don't need to go out and buy one just to have a gooseneck.

For what fucking purpose? You do it for percolation brews because the water has a limited amount of time to be in contact with the coffee, but it doesn't matter for an infusion brew.

Is there any data as to the degradation (?) of coffee/taste/quality/etc. for coffee that sits in a hot thermos all day? I make a V60 in the morning before work, and even letting it 'air out' to cool down, it ends up tasting worse the longer it stays very, very hot. But why? Purely continued extraction from whatever tiny grains are still in the liquid the whole time?

A little bit about overextraction, yes. Mostly about the volatile compounds in brewed coffee breaking down when it is reheated or kept warm for too long. There is a lot of coffee nerd shit about this on the internet.

I figured it had to be something like that, from what little I know. It's kind of a shame - the thermos I have is almost too good at keeping it hot, and I usually don't drink it fast enough to prevent it from getting fucked.

That said, still better than the local place near work, so I guess I'll just have to deal with it.

Go to coffee fest and turn your nose up to the italians and masturbate over synesso. Go pay thousands of dollars to be a q gradee and look at coffee under a uv light. Go for it. I dont even care. Just remember kid, i was stripping trucks of supremos while you were in fucking poopy pants diapers. I remeber when Choc full of Nuts delivered coffee in a fucking rolls royce. Your playing yourself, kid.

I have over 100 specialy offerings from 97 different countries of origin in contianer quanities AT ALL TIMES. Wow you say mr. Coffee broker bean KANG you just doxed yourself on the internet, but i dont care. Fuck you. Ive been doing this so long i was playing golf with the nca guys before it blew up ive been a member and disbarred by the scaa more times then your punk ass has even been on there mailing list. Ive FUCKED my way through more coffee roasters secrateries than you even have in your rolodex. I have a warehouse filled with over $1,000,000 of espresso equipment laying DEFUNCT.

People like you, kid, people like your are marks, customers, losers. Go ahead, drink your shitty overextracted coffee; freeze your green coffee; hook up pid machines to your little home.use espresso machines, buy a 1 bag Lorring. But to me kid, youll always be a loser and a faggot
