im really considering getting into decaf heavy since i like the coffee, not the caffeine. I should be able to have a nice cuppa pour over anytime I want

>>17735254
Are you stalking me? Why do you have a photo of my mail order bride before she has even arrived?

>>17735254
Lovely mtf, though she'd better not let those boltons get too big

>>17735254
switched to decafe last year and never went back. recently started grinding beans and using a french press, bought a cool grinder thats coming next week

If you do, go for swiss water decaf. More expensive but doesn't have the weird chemical taste

>>17735277
dont be fooled its just lighting and makeup

>>17736096
this.

received these as a gift. so far I've only had the roaster's choice but it has me hopeful for the other samples. it was pretty delightful for a dark roast. tasting notes were accurate at least.

What 5lb bag of medium roaat should I get off amazon?

AZN GORLS!!!!

Is there any consistent correlation between coffee taste/flavour notes and the country/sub-region it's grown in?

Should I buy an aeropress or aeropress go?

>>17737439
Yes, absolutely.

>>17737439
yes but also no. for the most consistency you need to buy the same beans from the same plot from the same farm every time. otherwise just buying ethiopian or even ethiopian from x region is not enough, still far too many variables. and this is just the surface.

>>17737444
both

>>17737444
yes

Just placed an order for 2lbs of pic related
What will I think of it?

>>17737488
go back

>>17737517
>2lbs
you better be distributing that into single shot portions and then vacuum sealing them and then freezing them and taking out each portion 24 hours before grinding and brewing.

>>17737537
Yeah, I'll be freezing them in portions in mason jars. Not single servings but a week's worth per jar at around 7 days past roast date if they get to me before reaching that resting length

>>17737545
alternatively you could store them in high humidity.

A coffee nerd friend of mine made me a serving of supposedly the finest coffee he had made in this elaborate way.
It was utterly indistinguishable from the folgers that I made in a mr. coffee drip machine.
You fags are lying to me.

>>17737556
Based you should tell him that tho

>>17737556
you have bad taste buds.
also your post tells us nothing.
>doesnt say how he made it
>doesnt say what beans
>doesnt say any specifics of any kind

>>17737556
Agreed. Just got into coffee not long ago and figured it is full of placebo shit just like audiophile

Are there different between different beans?
Sure.
Are the different big enough for normal people to tell it apart?
Hell no.
Meme shits and stuffs like water flow from different kettle are all placebo effects

>>17737517
I buy 20 pounds of Dambi Uddo every year. Every year it's a different and intereesting fruit flavor. One year it was pineapple. Another it was peaches. Usually it's fairly clean, but not the cleanest natural process coffee. It takes a few batches to get the roast just right. I'm sure this is a different lot than I had last year, so who knows? Try it and report back. Gujis are always interesting.

please point me towards roasting my own beans

I find coffee similar to beer in that way. There's really only 2 tiers of stuff, and only tryhards care about variance inside those tiers. You've got fancy shit and basic shit. Folgers is still good, but you can tell it's not fancy shit. But all the fancy shit is pretty similar. Like beer, I'll still be happy to drink a budweiser but it's not the same as some craft beer. But one brewer's ipa is the same as anyone elses

Coffee time mufuggas

>>17738029

Best instant coffee? I find myself drinking lots of Nescafe Gold these days. I take them black.

>>17738043
Gross. You ever tried to make Dalgona?

>>17738055
>Dalgona
No.
What's gross? Instant coffee? Nescafe? Or black?

>>17738062
The combination of instant coffee and drinking it black. It's pretty savage.
You ever tried making turkish?

>>17738070
And also the Dalgona thing is this old now Korean trend where you froth up sugar and instant coffee to make this cream. It tastes harsh just like instant.
It just popped up in my mind by association. A co worker in my old job would also do this trick where he addded a tiny bit of water and make a slurry out of instant coffee and sugar so when you you pour water it creates a nice foamy layer on top without needing any creamer. It'd take about 10 minutes of smashing it with a fork to get right though.

I don't fucking know what I'm talking about lol. I'm just waiting to heat the brewing chamber of my lever machine

>>17738070
nah honestly i'm a pleb when it comes to coffee, i drink it primarily for the jitters, but i'm interested to know what the artisan flavors are in comparison

>>17738095
Turkish is worth trying. It's a classy way to drink black coffee, but instant coffee will not do. You need beans ground into a powder that's a bit different from instant.
You take a small pot, boil some water, take it off heat, add 2 teaspoons per drinking cup of coffee, back to high-ish gas until it starts bubbling, 2 minutes on very low, then you let it rest for 2 minutes off heat and pour into your drinking cup.

It's how they drink it in the middle east. Tastes a lot less harsh than instant and smells delicious. You can add spices like cardamon or cinnamon if you want. Well it's not artisan either, all you need is the coffee pot and the right grind of coffee

>>17738119
I used to live in the middle eastern and convinced all my friends and family that it was tradition to drink the grounds, and it was offensive to the restaurant to return a cup with grounds.

>>17738129
heh that's pretty mean

>>17738136
Just a little trolling

>>17738129
Swirling and passing the cup with the silt at the bottom to have your fortune told was the best part.

>>17737612

Are the different big enough for normal people to tell it apart.

>>17736860
>>17736305
Funny enough I had a cup of that this morning and I'm surprised at how accurate those tasting notes are. The chelbessa is quite nice. the tea and honey flavors come right through.

>>17738586
Ime normal people can tell the difference if you show them, and figure out dark roasts are "bitter" and light roasts are "sour", but they just don't care enough about coffee autism to investigate further.

>>17737981
You are just at a point where you are too stupid to get it. Retards always talk down to audiophiles, beer enjoyers, whatever saying there's no difference. You're just too fucking dumb to see how certain things are better. Shut the fuck up for a minute and try to learn something.

So today i learned Starbucks doesnt brew any of their blends at their stores.
I just had a new store open up near me. Only coffee shop in my area. They never heard of Italian blend or Sumatra. Apparently theres a cut off time for dark roast too.
How do Starbucks stay open if they barely have menu?

why is nailing a pour-over so fucking satisfying?

Lol you virgin incel or roastie, it is extremely light make up, the only thing noticable is her eyeliner.

>>17737612
I am about to get into the hobby just waiting on some stuff to ship.
It will be fun experimenting to see what works best both in terms of what brewing method is the most enjoyable routine and figuring out what tastes good to me.
From what I gather it is a massive rabbit hole and money sink, so many different ways to brew and a lot of variables that can be tweaked.

I'll start simple with a french press, then work my way to different brewing methods after I've spent a fair amount of time playing around with it to see if it is worth investing the time and money into this hobby.
Espresso looks like fun to mess around with on the weekend, been eying the flair 58, but I don't want to dive straight into it, french press looks like a good place to start.

>>17740651
some of the accessories may be schizo placebo shit but to think normal people can't tell the difference between beans is an absurdly stupid thing to say

>From what I gather it is a massive rabbit hole and money sink, so many different ways to brew and a lot of variables that can be tweaked.
as long as you understand this, you'll have a good time.

the basis of good coffee is good beans roasted recently. focus on getting your local roaster's beans to 90% as good as it could be and then delve into the autism if you so desire

meloschizo killed ctg. you win.

>>17741008
People like you killed this general etc

for me personally the hoffman method of french press + managing water kh/gh and using a pitcher filter + using a variable temp kettle + hand grinding well kept beans is the maximum I'll allow the coffee autism to go.

tea brewing hobby = spending money on leaves and teapots, cups etc, larping as a wise chinese man

coffee brewing hobby = pseudo-scientific min max autism, never ending money pit, $1000 in equipment is considered entry-level.

anyone can buy a small quantity of expensive tea and brew it. not everyone can prep and pour an even shot.

>>17742020
>$1000 in equipment is considered entry-level
Handgrinder and an Aeropress or french press is like less than a third that and it's all anyone needs if they're new to coffee
Then it's just "anyone can buy a small quantities of expensive beans and brew it"

>>17742033
i mean espresso. $1000 is a gcp and a eureka, bog standard entry level setup.

>Handgrinder
just introducing the grind size adds an entire dimension that brewing tea simply doesn't have.

Which kingrinder is best for bripe?

>>17742093
The KYS-41

>>17742020
You can get pretty autistic about tea brewing too, although I don't think it matters that much.
There are different types of clay, each pot costing $100+ and supposedly they are better suited for different tea types, there are also silver pots. Then there is also tea aging, either wet or dry.
But on the other had there are $3k coffee grinders, so I guess coffee is still more expensive and you can actually brew good tea in a simple gaiwan.

>>17735277

>>17737545
Is this typical?

>>17742546
what buying bulk? only if you are retarded or dont care what coffee tastes like.

>>17740651
A French press and a hand grinder is a reasonable place to start. Supermarket coffee ground for drip machines leaves a lot of sediment with a French press.

>>17742020
When it comes to the pseudo-scientific autism, I'd be tempted to get a set of coffee sieves, just to see how well the grinder actually performs, but I really don't have any place in my kitchen/lab to keep them

>>17742677
Yeah that's the route I'm taking. Just need to find a place locally or online to get reasonably fresh roasted coffee beans.
I have fond memories of roasted coffee beans, when I was a kid my parents would stop by a coffee roaster and the smell was great. Was fun watching the machine spin the coffee beans around in a transparent enclosure.
My grandfather used to grow his own coffee trees, roast them and grind them. He explained the process to me but I can't remember the details, I was a kid never really cared much for it.
I remember the raw beans being red and green with a thick outer shell.

Ever wonder why people get bans for ‘racism’ but not endless shitposting and off-topic bullshit?

Is there a science to how long you should let espresso rest until it's ideal for tasting everything? I'm not a very sensible person, since I can drink near-boiling tea, so telling me to wait until it's cool enough to drink means nothing

>>17743061

I am about to make some coffee using the following recipe:

30g bloom, switch closed. open at 0:45
30g bloom at 1:00, switch open
150g switch closed at 2:00, stir.
open switch at 3:15
close switch at 4:00

what will I think of it?

>>17743577
you thought it was incredible

>>17743577
Are the different big enough for normal people to tell it apart. No.

>>17743577
That sounds incredibly autistic, but also amazing. I'd love to try it

>>17743715
in practice it's not as involved as it looks, most of the brewing is just standing around.

you can do a single 2min bloom but I really like the sweetness and acidity that comes with the double bloom. I have yet to experiment with different bloom and pour combinations but this 2 bloom 1 pour is consistent and tasty, definitely try it out if you like bright sweet coffee.

>>17743762
You're gonna meme me into getting an expensive pour-over device. Please don't, I already overspent on an espresso machine.
I should instead go look for posh coffee places that make this kind of stuff

gaggia classic, YUMMY!

im a stupid retard and bought an expensive coffee grinder thinking that it was a grinder + brewer
any suggestions for brewers?
will getting an automatic one make all the coffee snobs point and laugh at me?

>>17743816
i'm not trying to sell it but it really is the perfect v60, I see it as the natural endgame of pour-over. Throw in a different size cone and now you can make effortlessly great coffee for multiple people. it's also really nice for rinsing filters and stopping the last over-extracted bit of coffee because I can just close the switch and drain it over my spromachine's drip tray.

It's too expensive for what it is but there's no real alternative in glass. it won't change your life but it'll make your pour-over experience a bit nicer, leave it as something to look forward to on your birthday or another occasion you'd be able to justify buying it (what i did lol).

>>17743874
Olympia Cremina(iconic, was featured in James Bond films) + those Naked pressure gauges + expensive scale with an app that lets you track everything.
This kind of setup along with your expensive grinder would make a lot of people jelly I imagine

>>17743874
what grinder? and no, there are some good drip brewers like moccamaster, ratio 6, ratio 8, etc but they're pricy. i'd only go that route if you're too lazy to pour water into a cone brewer lol

>>17743885
i think he's talking about filter coffee

>>17743877
That's actually not too expensive, now that I've checked. I expected it to be some very expensive meme but it's alright.
You know I've never even tried a pour over.

>>17742033
>>17737444
BASED and AEROPRESS fucking GANG GANG GANG GAAAAAAAAAAANG pilled

>>17743904
if you already have a coffee bar with a grinder and a espresso machine, you may as well throw a kettle and a pour-over set up in there too. you've already done the heavy lifting lol

>>17743885
look I already feel like a retard, I'm not rich I just thought the reason it cost a lot was because it did both things...

>>17743896
the "baratza encore"
I looked at the moccamaster but yeah, they seemed pretty expensive
would the hario v60 be the choice for manual then? can I just use a tea kettle to pour water, or is a "gooseneck" kettle really suggested?

>>17743896
Filter requires expensive grinder? I didn't now I thought it was like a moka pot coarseness.

>expensive coffee grinder
>"baratza encore"

>>17743927
a v60 and a cheap gooseneck is more than enough to start. your brew quality unironically depends on your technique though

>>17743931
the encore isn't an expensive grinder but fines play a bigger role in filter coffee than espresso. better grinders produce less fines. you don't NEED an expensive grinder for for filter but your brews would greatly benefit from having one.

>>17743877
>the natural endgame of pour-over is adding an immersion step
I mean, I love immersion and pour-over, but it just sounds funny when you break it down

>>17744164
>the natural endgame of filter coffee is to harness the best of percolation and immersion
nothing funny about it, it's just the conclusion one who knows coffee would come to.

>light roast tastelets haven't taken the /sumatrapill/

Lilydrip just came in the mail. What do I think of it?

>>17743037
the first one is a dark roast, second one is medium, the last two are light roasts. getting a dark roast to have dark chocolate or molasses notes are basically the bare minimum for making a palatable dark roast. lol
the chelbessa really does taste like earl grey though. no idea about the others yet.

>>17744362
I'll open that one tomorrow then. the roaster's choice and the chelbessa are already gone. rc was whatever since dark roast, but the chelbessa was lovely.

Hi I'm John Aeropress, CEO of Aeropress.

First I'd like to give thanks to the few dedicated Pressers we have on this forum. Hello Aeropress Gang! Haha, we love to see that over at the head office. Really makes it feel like our work is worth doing.

For the rest of you I have a simple question: What will it take? What will it take for you to try a clean, hot cup of freshly Aeropressed coffee? While we here at Aeropress recommend brewing the coffee "Americano" style (blind test approved!) countless Pressers on the world wide web have shown time and time again it's possible to brew a delicious and perfectly extracted cup of coffee right in the precisely manufactured Aeropress chamber. What will it take for you to move on from your equipment, your obsession with swirling and flat beds, and repeatedly pouring hot water in circles? What will it take for you to finally give in and brew easy and consistently repeatable cups of coffee in our very own Aeropress?

Let us know in the comments below. We're all ears.
John Aeropress
CEO of Aeropress

having a cup of the onyx sample now. the tasting notes, again, are surprisingly accurate. the cup smells lightly of rose and sugar, even. really neat stuff. the ethiopia worka chelbessa is the one to beat, though. that one knocked my socks off. no complaints to be had with onyx's sample.

>>17735254
no more coffee! its turning all our teeth yellow, and its an epidemic and we have to sTOP

>>17748511
rest in peace brave soldier

>>17748514
WHY DID THEY MAKE IT GLASS

>>17748516
"luxury materials" please understand
is it possible to get a non-glass replacement? I don't have a commandante.

>>17748529
these days there is yeah

>>17736054
okay, bloggy bitch, what beans do you use and where do you source them from?

I too wish to switch to decaf and leave caffeine behind

>>17748540
best of luck anon, nixing any substance dependency is tricky

>>17748511
Wait what. I thought you faggots said the new grind holders are just plastic??

>>17748478
Glad you liked it; I really think they shine with their rwandans and kenyan varieties and how they roast them, chelbessa is always impeccable though in their way too

>>17748619
I believe they come with both now.
>>17748675
That'll happen when you've got a 3 time US Brewers Cup champion at the helm.

>>17738129
>he doesn't drink the grounds
Pussy

>>17748675
noted, I'll keep these guys in mind when I place an order.
decided to make a a cup of iced coffee with the onyx sample and it was the nicest cup of iced coffee I've had in awhile.

NEETlife is coming to an end brehs... how am I supposed to get used to drinking coffee before w*rk instead of whenever I want? How can I get back in the NEET game quickly?

>>17749008
For now appreciate the kalita; everyone has 4 minutes in life

>>17747829
I just woke up at 4pm too, but I didn't end up making it last night. coffee time finally.

>>17749008
easy, just bring your aeropress and kingrinder to work and make coffee whenever you want.

>>17749008
Can't you bring coffee to work? Like in a thermos or something? That's what my dad does.
I'm not a big coffee drinker. It probably messes with something I'm not aware of or some shit.

>>17735254
what setting do I use for the best coffee on my new coffee bean grinder /ctg/? I grinded some beans using the fine setting and it came out too flavorless and sour.

>>17741996
Sometimes just the smell is enough to make me shit.

>>17749519
return it and get a kingrinder or sgp

>>17749519
God damn that thing holds up to 3/4 lb of beans? That's how you know it's a quality unit. And it's got 15 individual grind settings?

>>17749519
Was it expensive? Oxo tends to be really pricey

>>17749460
Coffee time is best time

>>17749833
Im workin on it, slow sipper. Contigo mug keeps it warm for a few hours. Locally roasted "black cats revenge" , going back to sumatra. Never had a bad sumatra.

>>17749530
K4 and K6 are the only grinders from them with decent grind ranges/size. At that price, just get the JXPro or JMAX. Way better.

>>17735254
How much coffee do you drink, anon?

>2 14oz cups in the morning
>1 triple espresso in the afternoon
>2 more 14oz cups after 5:00pm

I have a problem

>>17749869
Give it 3 months and all you idiots will be shilling sptk.

>>17749938
Was sptk also banned on r/espresso?

>>17749938
>sptk
Never heard of it, but it looks like the Lagom Mini (which is also a waste of money to me)

I tend to research myself out of every purchase. If I can't, the reviews will. Still using blade grinder/shake method for Flair Pro 2 and Drip coffee. Sometimes its not consistent, but Im good for the most part considering it only cost me 20 bucks 3 years ago and still works fine. I use the lid to tamp my basket too.

>>17739025
>>17735254

>>17749952
Not yet but they're currently threatening to sue Rowsell kek.
>>17749970
Its a knockoff mini with (even more so)knockoff commandante burrs.

>>17749938
Their espresso brewer looks interesting.
https://youtu.be/otJLlaZwqtw
The tube looks like a bike pump

>>17750042
I just watched that, gave it a thumbs down. Looks like shit, he skipped the prep part, and his shot pulled like shit. Looks like a headache and thats coming from me who owns a Flair Pro 2

>>17749992
>blade grinder/shake method for Flair Pro 2
Using a blade grinder for espresso? what's that like?

>>17749992
Why didn't you research yourself out of wasting money on a Flair?

>>17750042
>>17750051
>LanceHedrick: I've done that. Doesn't change. In fact, in the video I did that on a round. Just dumped and refilled immediately. Hard to follow with the transitions. But I did loads of variations at home. Highest I got was like 87 when preheating the lid thoroughly. Got hot AF to put on, though. That rubber ring is slippery lol
You have to assume any company that advertises their flagship 58mm espresso machine with a mortar and pestle probably doesn't know shit.

>>17750067
Its fairly challenging at first, but you get an eye for it. I've choked it a couple times, had it run through too fast a couple times, now I average normal shots around 6-9 bars in 30 sec. Just get an eye for the grind size, do a lot of pulsing the button and shaking, and tamp pressure I adjust accordingly to how the grinds look. I want the JMAX because its the best looking to me and can grind even turkish powder, but It seems harder to go back and forth from espresso to drip so I might just save some loot and get the JXPro which has 12.5 micron steps instead of 8.

>>17750085
I did, until I saw the sale and got it for like 250 I think it was.

>>17750085
>>17750102
Also, I did still hate myself because its not a 58mm basket, but I figured since I only have a blade grinder its probably for the best. Its just one of those things I allowed myself to get because it really does look like it will last a lifetime. Any spare parts I may need seem to be available, and its something I can take with me if I wanted.

>>17749827
about 100 dollars, the food bank keeps giving me bags of coffee beans instead of ground coffee. now I get to drink real coffee like a boss

>>17750125
I just realized my pizza cutter is OXO and it's held up great for years.

>>17750093
That sounds like a huge pain in the ass

>>17750127
Yes but how much did it cost? Their fucking Potato ricer is 50$ for a simple design. Everything OXO is at least twice as expensive as standard

>Theres no reason a potato ricer should ever cost more than $30

>>17750159
kek

This just in SPTK has changed their listing from
>Comandante quality burr set - you can compare both burr sets
to
>German "C" brand quality burr set - you can compare both burr sets
Can't wait for the df-38 with Chinese "S" brand quality burr set so I can compare both burr sets

>>17750159
It's almost the same design as the IKEA one. There's no reason for a meme unitasker to cost so much.

>>17750151
Which part?
Takes maybe 20 seconds of grinding. It's not that bad, but most people will probably fuck it up. Need good eyes for grind size.

>>17750155
My pizza cutter? I can't remember, less than 10 bucks most likely.

>>17750260
Other than Ikea ordering 50x more units? Helen of Troy Limited(OXO's parent brand) pulls in ~1.37b euros a year. Ikea sold 41.9 billion euros of chinese manufactured trash last year. Different ball game.

>>17750310
I don't know. There is no guarantee the 50$ ricer I've bought wasn't made in China. Just because Ikea sells a lot of Chinese trash, doesn't mean everything they sell is trash. Their peppermills, for example, are on par with Peugeot ones quality wise and cost a lot less.
Anyway I'm just pissed that I believed the redditor on Omegle who told me potato ricer garlic mash was a lifechanger, it was just okay and definitely not worth the unitasker price.

>>17747829
And again, fuck my life. This is definitely extremely unhealthy, but making coffee makes me happy

>>17744348
I drank Sumatran and Sulawesi exclusively for years before pretty much switching 100% to light roasted Ethiopians with the occasional Rwandan

Made iced coffee with my aeropress for the first time and it was pretty good. It's getting warmer so I think I'll make some more. Added a tablespoon of whole milk and it was nice.

>>17751330
Late night iced maple latte for me.

Ordered a macchiato and got this. Idk but looks like a cortado to me.

>>17751732
Forgot the image

>>17751745
indeed

ol

made a coffee, it was good.
papua new guinea/ guatemalan medium roast blend
9 cup moka
split it into 2 cappuccinos for me and the misso.

>>17753551
9 cup? Tha's fokken massive m8

>>17753558
do you use a moka pot? when the italians talk about cups they mean like a shot of coffee, so its more like a 9 shot moka pot.
im probably going to buy a new one with a better handle but most of them are only 6 cup.

>>17753577
Yeah. A 4 cup was enough for me to make 2 200ml milk based drinks.


Also espresso question. Hoffmeme says to wet a teaspoon and stir dose of coffee beans before grinding to make it grind better, but does it affect the drink in the end? Last time I tried it it was bitter

>>17753681
>does it affect the drink in the end?
no
>Last time I tried it it was bitter
user error/placebo. i think using a tiny spray bottle is better, 1 spray and its the exact same of water every time and its even better for distribution.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8zqp3CgcbA

this is only for static, if you dont have/care about grinder static then dont use it.

>>17735254
>itt: fags galore
lmao holy shit this thread is gay

>>17753714
I just tried it again and coffee wasn't good, again. I think I won't be doing this.
Definitely checking out this video fully though, thanks.
I change various things at the same time, maybe that's why it's difficult to get it right.

>>17753836
Yeah, I think this trick is not for manual grinders. Static is a nonissue in comandante. Just tap the grinds holder and all grinds unstick themselves.

>>17753865
why do you assume he is using a manual grinder?

>>17753874
I'm the person who originally asked the question. I use a comandante.
Hoffman uses it for electric grinders only, so it's probably not for me.

>>17753906
oh i see

opinions on this italian shit?

>>17742014
Qeq.

>>17754019
meh and overpriced

>>17735254
Today I had my coffee as an instant coffee with warm almond milk and turtles coco powder mixed in

coffee bros i never get the occasional bad brew anymore. once you get the grind right for your paper the switch just makes effortlessly good coffee that's near impossible to fuck up. I would never use my aeropress ever again but i'll be making a pure v60 here and there.

is the switch the ultimate noob tool? or is that the clever?

Should I get a size 2 switch or a size 3.

>>17754706
get the 03 switch and a size 02 glass cone for personal brewing, or the opposite if it's cheaper for you. cafec medium roast papers too since they're the poor man's Sibarist and drain faster than hario paper

>>17754682
Clearly overswirled. I can tell from the longitudinal striations and from having seen quite a few overswirls in my day.

>>17754750
based swirl cop analyzing my singular bloom swirl

>>17754750
Guy what am I doing wrong? If I flood the whole cone and let it drain is that better?

>>17754797
Another clear overswirl. Does nobody here know how to make a fucking V60 without swirling the shit out of it? Jesus

Cheap, poorly filtered immersion. Get a hario switch instead.

Why does this guy sound like he's talking through a pillow while being buttfucked by a robot?

He's an autistic boomer who only drinks dark roast at 1:10 ratios. Read that comment he ignored by gab2.

So, lads who did it... Apart from taking up a fuck load of space, any good commercial espresso machines for the home? There's a shit load of ones online that are broken which I could easily fix, but it's whether or not I should.

good if you are dumb as rocks and lazy and want alot of "good enough" coffee.
normies are used to coffee that tastes like dishwater or a cup of milk and sugar so even a basic french press brew with some average speciality pre ground coffee will blow them away or say they dont like it because they have the taste buds of a 90 year old pack a day smoker.

i make real coffee with a moka pot. i have no need for special kettles and paper filters. and my technique is flawless.

Should I get the 4 cup moka pot or the 6 cup moka pot?

>>17756451
6.

>>17756501
But how do I make latte with 6 cups? Aren't most espressos small? And how to add the milk?

>>17756541
what the fuck are you talking about?
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpyBYuu-wJI

i use a 9 cup moka pot and a hand milk frother to make my latte every day. its literally easy as piss.

>>17756738
You can't fit 6 cups into this cup jackass. Much less 6 cups + milk. I need a 2oz moka and a 3oz glass I think. I'll keep googling.

>>17756765
oh i see you are baiting me. good job you got me, man you really nailed acting like a braindead cunt.

>>17756789
Nvm I just found out Aeropress makes the best espresso and espresso style drinks. Thanks for nothing.

is there a brewing method that doesn't get memed on by this godforsaken general

My moka pot is stainless steel but the base interior has a kind of spray coating, this is probably poisoning me worse than aluminium ever could huh
