Is the Vietnamese coffee dripper legit or a meme worthy of their robusta only?

>>18837446
meme

I feel attacked

>>18837436
Where can one find this volcanic ash to brew with?

>>18837534
I'm sry. My folder runneth dry. It was a cointoss between yours and the other kek.

>>18837584
By setting your grinder to way too fucking fine

Just bought some mugs. What do I think of them?

>>18837641
Pretty cool mate

>>18837641
You think they feel nice in the hand but the drinking experience is a little lacking

>>18837641
I like the one with the cat.

>>18837446
Depends. What a coffee about the level of the french press but easier to clean? Yes.
It's no espresso tho.

I roasted up a nice Kenya to a city+ as tribute to that poor guy who had an awful light roast Kenya. It's my last batch of this one. God, it's good. Very sweet, bodied, spiced, and citrusy throughout. I was afraid I had held onto it for too long and it'd taste shitty. It doesn't. Hooray!

>>18837643
>>18837646
>>18837649
Joke's on all of you retards. I just BOUGHT them. I don't actually have them in hand yet hahahahahaha they're still in the mail hahahahaha you fucking FOOLS!

>>18837672
What's the joke here exactly? We just said we're happy for you

>>18837672
laugh all you want. in the meantime, I'm sitting here with a mug in my hand, touching it, kissing it and drinking it's milk

>>18837687
>he thinks that I don't already have a collection of mugs that I can touch and feel any time that I want
These new specimens will merely augment what is already the greatest mug collection in /ctg/ history.

>>18837672
I only use coffee mugs I make myself. I spent 25 years learning how to do this so that they have perfect personal ergonomics. You might think that this is a joke post, but it isn't.

>>18837694
Post kiln.

>>18837688
you will go to hell for your harem, sir. I'm a strict muggonamous believer

>>18837696
Here's one of them. This was a sculptural project in which I was playing with the thermoplastic deformation of porcelain. I opened it up to see it at cone 9. It was fairly warm.

>>18837714
You can't see shit, but I could with my glasses. I thought it would be a fun photo.

>>18837716
Why not just take a photo through the glasses

>>18837722
Because I needed to wear them to protect my retinas. You go blind looking at that kind of heat. And you only get about 5, maybe 10 seconds before you get burnt from the radiant heat, even with gear, so no do-overs.

>>18837729
Plus, it's not good for the kiln. Kilns are expensive.

Why does cofi make me anxious

>tfw i spent 16 bucks on a bag of sour coffee

What notes should I avoid? Is it acidity?

>>18837765
Are you the light roast Kenya guy? Kenyan coffee is The Most acidic coffee on earth. This is cannon. I said in the last thread it really shouldn't be roasted light. It needs a medium roast to mellow it out. The tasting notes on the bag are probably there, but you don't notice them as much as the acidity. If you do not like acidic/sour coffee, that's the only lesson.

>>18837765
Probably, but you should try to temper down that acidity with a higher alkalinity water first.

>>18837773
Nope just started posting since I'm getting back into whole bean/coffee in general.

I did however ask about peoples preferred notes in the last thread.

>>18837773
So is Kenyan Coffee worth avoiding? The last time I made a solid cup, I believe I used Ethiopian which IIRC has the fruitiest notes.

Thoughts/advice?

>>18837779
Oh. Then, yeah in general you should go for medium roasts if you're not into acidity. Avoid descriptors like "bright." Not all light roasted coffees make you pucker though.

>>18837782
No, I think Kenyan coffee is categorically excellent. Their grading system is super-autistic. So like the dominant flavors are intensely bodied, citrus fruits, baking spices, chocolate, and sometimes rando fruits like grape. They're expensive as shit currently.

What is the best way to produce about 2 cups of coffee? Chemex? French Press? Moka? I usually drink about 2 cups but would rather just make them both at once instead of 2 aeropress batches

>>18837849
v60/origami/switch

>>18837849
What the fuck is 2 cups? Cups are all different sizes retard. Your cups are different from my cups.

>>18837914
Are you fucking dumb? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_(unit)

>>18837446

I like it for making iced coffee because I like a little bit of grittiness in my cold drinks, and i absolutely loath cold brew.

For hot drinks though, i prefer a smooth drink so imo aeropress is superior.

Best thing about it though is that it's cheap, easy to clean, and requires no filter. Buy one and try it out, it's hard to go wrong with these.

>>18837905
>switch
I think i'll go with this dripper. Can I make 2 cups with the size 02 or should I go for size 03?

>>18837962
02 is for two cups.

Where do my UK bros by their beans from?

>>18838127
Heinz.

>>18837921
Cups can mean different things when referring to coffee because big coffee producers and researchers use a different definition

What is the best method for using the least amount of beans by weight to get the most amount of coffee to drink?

>>18838220
Espresso

>>18838222
Thank you
Does a moka pot work too, because I don't have a espresso machine?

>>18838220
watering it down afterwards

Is it more consistent to grind really fast or really slow?

>>18838367
Slow, but only if you can maintain a steady RPM. If you stutter and stop all the time go faster until you can do smooth rotations.

>>18838230
Yeah but you want to grind the beans a bit coarser than you would Espresso or else your coffee will be bitter as shit

>>18838578
Thank you

What baratza encore setting do you use for a pour over on average

>>18837765
Go to a nearby coffee place and ask them to make you a pour over with a similar roast to see if it's just supposed to taste like that

>>18837849
I like Chemex. If done right it leaves a very faint sweetness in your mouth.

Opinions on making coffee with a briki?

>>18838607
I've had mine inthe 11-14 range with the M2 burrs

>>18837738
Look into l-theanine, take it with coffee. Normal dose of l-theanine to go w coffee/caffeine is 200mg. Helps to mellow out the negative effects of caffeine and helps generally calm you also. L-theanine is naturally found in most types of tea

>>18837849

objective best is a siphon brew but they are a pain in the ass

>>18838880
If they're a pain in the ass then they're not the best

>>18838855
When I set mine in that range it looks like this

>>18838903
That's about the result I get. I usually have gone coarser.

What's your total brew time? I usually get 2:30-3:00.

I got myself this Hario Mizudashi cold brew pot, and it works, but honestly, it seems like it comes out less strong than when I just used to do it in a french press and stir from time to time. I've been thinking that maybe I should just get a jar of the right amount and just strain it.

Unless I'm grinding too finely, but I don't think I am. I'm doing it as I did before with my french press.

>>18839178
How long do you leave it for?

>>18839244
Usually between 14 and 20 hours, probably 16 on average. Rarely longer. The 24 hour brew usually isn't more flavorful tho, just more bitter. Which just masks the other flavors.

Just ordered this, what am I in for bros?

Anyone know of a good decaf I can get shipped for at most $16/bag? I really like Sweet Bloom's Colombian decaf but it's $21/bag

How to drink coffee with milk without getting fat? I only drink black pour over but whenever I visit my brother he makes me a latte which I enjoy very much but it ruins my fast and makes me feel fat so I don't eat anything that day.

>>18839409
Just stay active you'll be fine

>>18839342

had mine for over a year and I would buy it again

>>18839354
This guy just "dropped" his prices by switching to 300g bags instead of 1lb. Something to do with usps fucking up shipping rates. Everyone I've rec'd him to has liked it.

>>18839409
aren't you overreacting over a simple single latte?

>>18839491
no. i will not become fat.

>>18839524
You're not going to get fat over an occasional ingestion of less 100 calories of milk
You have far greater problems with your mentality/diet if 100 calories somehow pushes you over the edge into full blown eat disorder mode

>>18839524
You do realise that fat doesn't make you fat? The calories do.

>>18837436
Today I had my coffee mixed with a piece of baklava

>>18839833
100 calories here and there adds up quickly. Some extra butter on toast or in the eggs. A little extra jam. Some extra cream in the coffee. Oh just a little extra cheese. Can't forget a little extra mayonnaise. Is it wrong to put cream in peppermint tea? I don't care. An extra handful of these nuts aren't so bad. Or a handful of some dark chocolate. You're talking about 500-600 calories. Remember honey: nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

>>18839956
I don't like baklava

>>18839990
Anon, you're talking about a single latte occasionally. If you're ingesting all that other "just another 100 calories", that's on you for not forgoing that extra bit of cheese on those days you visit your brother.
For your sake, I hope you're calorie counting if you're fretting over a little milk every once in a while

>>18840005
I posted about the coffee with milk but I didn't post about all that extra shit I'm not a disgusting fat always snacking and adding fat to my food.

AEROPRESS GANG
>>18837849
Wtf. You can easily make 2 cups at once with the aeropress
>>18837940

My first grinder is the K6. Didn't want to think about buying something cheaper and upgrading later.

dark roasted coffees can be really good

>>18841021
it seems substantially less acidic and harsh than the instant i bought for comparison.

My french press coffee was too bitter and sour so I increased the grind size and now it is just too bitter. What's the next step?

>>18841071
depending on the beans/prep you could change any one variable and see how that changes the coffee

>>18841083
coarser or lower water temp

>>18841046
>alfamistin
I've been feeling shit and this is nice. Cheers.

>>18840274

Your not suppose to use any filter with Vietnamese drip. Grind as coarse as possible, tamp it hard into the bottom plate, then add a tiny bit of water to let the grounds increase in volume and fill most of the voids. After a minute, add 100c water, place lid so there's a slight vacuum effect, and wait until gravity peculation is finished before adding cream/condensed milk.

>>18841182
By the way that you structured your reply, it seemed like you meant no filter on the aeropress. We're clear now

>at grocery store
>see whole bean decaf on sale
>haven't ever really tried "good" decaf, so why not
>it's actually pretty good

I think I'm going to work decaf into my evening routine to replace tea. Anybody have some recommendations for decaf?

Also found one of those ridiculously overpriced Kinto mugs in the thrift store with louis vuitton stickers on it for three canadabux. A bath with billy mays in oxiclean later and I have my new coffee mug that i'll use when I want to look like a pretentious asshole with my handmade nippon ceramic.

Finally got me an eloctric gooseneck. Was working with a 600ml stovetop one before

What's your method? I have the aeropress go only

>>18841516
>Anybody have some recommendations for decaf?
I've asked almost every thread and there is never response. There might be some good decaf out there or maybe those beans haven't been grown yet.

>>18841555

i was just told my moka brew was less bitter than my espresso brew.

>>18839342
It's very nice. my only complaint would be that the clicks aren't marked. I recommend writing down the position for the knob for different clicks. it's very easy to forget how many clicks you've changed, especially when using different brewers and trying to fine tune them. I used go write down how many clicks it was but then had to go all the way to zero to count up again

in a coffee thread a cup can refer to a bunch of things.
honestly i have never seen metric cups be used in anything coffee.
the most common moka pot size is 6 cup, i bet you think that means metric? nope! see the moka is made by retarded italians so to them a cup is like the size of an espresso shot and a 6 cup moka is supposed to make roughly 6 "shots" of coffee.
see how easy you can go from cups being a universal measurement to absolute absurdity.
also newfags can say "hey guys i drink 2 cups of coffee from star bucks every day, how would i most easily go about making this at home" in this case they are talking about an espresso shot and mostly milk and sugar that is also not a metric cup.
so honestly in this place you should just forget metric cups even exist.

tldr: fuck off new fag, dont forget to kill yourself on your way out.

>>18842416

I got a steel burr grinder but my coffee grinds are sticking to the bottom of the steel burrs really bad. How do I stop this?

>>18843212
a spritz of water or use a wet spoon then stir the beans before grinding

>>18843212
You could always just get a blowy ball or brush and just get rid of that stuff. Is it just me, or it just appear to be super fines or chaff that gets stuck there due to static. Why would I even want that in my brew.

>>18843212
Add a bit of water (emphasis on "a bit") into your coffee before you grind it. Dampness prevents static electricity.

>>18843258
yeah, it's more like a feature to me. usually I just blow or shake it off at the sink. sometimes I use a spray can of air, computer duster or whatever, to blow it clean thoroughly. works great

>>18841675
It's okay. The click on the button is nice, but the wheel clicks are kind of soft. The turning is solid enough. Not premium, but definitely not bad, either.

gonna pick up some single origin ethopian coffee-

brew it cowboy style with pour filtration, then froth up some goat milk with some wildflower honey and pour it in in a cortado type ratio

absolutely bomb, the fruity chocolate and tobacco undertones just completely jive with the floral honey and the musty goat milk

>>18844672
Could be. Could also just be poor puck prep, inadequate perfusion, or all 3.

>>18844538
Depends on roast and density of the bean. The idea is to wait long enough that it'll brew consistently throughout the whole bag. You don't want an external variable(offgasing) throwing a wrench in the mix.
>Light roasts: 14+ days
>Medium-light to medium roasts: 10-14 days
>Medium-dark to dark roasts: 7-10 days

>>18844727
I forgot to ask how dark they roasted these beans... I'll just wait 10 days to be safe

>>18844757
nvm I looked them up and just emailed the roaster. hopefully they get back to me?

>>18844538
sample it every day until its at a point that you really like it.

>>18843606
They're patent trolling with the handle of all things. An off-set handle with a wooden knob. It's the most ridiculous thing possible. Imagine if a spatula company sued another spatula company for using an off-set handle, or a knife company sued another knife company for making wooden handles. I almost bought a c40 before they pulled that shit, and I'm glad I didn't. Fuck that.

Do some of you ever think that maybe I am some prissy fgt cunt

>grounds go stale after 15 minutes
i had some leftover from a grind sitting in an open jar overnight. i threw it in with some remaining beans and did a pourover.
maybe cos its the first one of the day, but it was tasty.

>>18844906
>An off-set handle with a wooden knob
With the attached lid. Its like apple getting pissed because some chinese oem knocked off magsafe. Makes sense legally, shitty from the consumer view.

>>18844952

Uhh can I get uhh....

>>18844714
Bambino Plus so I'm timing an 8s preinfusion each time. I WDT doing small counter-clockwise motions while moving clockwise, and have a self-leveling tamper. Nothing looks off from eyesight. It actually used to be fine, but these beans are starting to age a little more. I was under the impression you need to grind finer as they age though.

>>18845039
Honestly, use the beans faster or buy in smaller amounts, or if you need to, ziploc and freeze smaller portions and use them incrementally. If they're going off to the point that they're channelling, you're better off drinking fresher than that. It's also possible to be grinding too fine and letting too much pressure build which then results in water finding a way to force a channel- do you have a pressure gauge to monitor while it brews?

>>18845092
Yeah this was my first bag so I went with a 2 lb bag instead of 10oz because I figured I'd be wasting more shots while dialing in. No pressure gauge.

>>18845029
people really should keep coffee flavor notes to like two things, max.

>>18845029
>natural process
>strawberry
why they gotta lie like that.

>>18845104
>Yeah this was my first bag
Ah cool - that makes sense, dialling in and punching out consistent espresso is a journey, not an end state, haha - but you've chosen a good place to start.
>No pressure gauge
So first thing's first, watch your shot time before you start making big moves on grind to chase channelling. The 25-30 second window isn't a hard and fast rule, but it does get you in the right place to make decisions on what to change later; if you're pulling a shot in that range and it tastes good and it's in the ratio you wanted and it's channelling towards the end that's both expected and perfectly acceptable. If it's channelling the whole time and you're pissing out a shot in 15 seconds then yeah it's better to try and chase down the channelling first.

How old is the coffee? Is it fairly freshly roasted or supermarket variety?

>>18844966
Yeah, shitty enough that I'll never buy anything from them. I rec 1zpresso and kingrinders to my family and friends.

Wow, that Kenya I roasted the other day is really nice. Sad that this batch is the end of this one. Kenya green prices really shot up this past season so I dunno if I want to keep buying them anymore.

>>18845683

does the bourbon in this instance mean its grown in madagascar, like how this term works for vanilla?

>>18845836
No. It's the name of a caffea arabica cultivar.

>>18845825
I asked about that, turns out it changes based on seasonal availability.

>>18845836
It's a varietal of the coffee plant.

Is there any good reason to course grind coffee for french press? my filters seem good enough to use fine and it makes the coffee stronger.

>>18846838
Fresh Roasted Coffee does some single origins.

Why not drink tea instead it tastes better and easier

What is everyone's thoughts on stainless steel coffee filters for pour overs?
Are they hard to clean? Do they impart any weird tastes to the coffee?

>>18846838

>>18847519
stainless steel is used in beverage prep because it does not impart any additional flavor

Are coffee fags addicts with a problem?

>>18847840
I am - I get a headache if I don't have enough coffee

>>18847840
define "problem." i'm on about 300mg of caffeine/day (not much compared to a lot of people) and if i go cold turkey i'll be drowsy and have a headache for a couple days but will be fine after that. ymmv.

Got my scale. Bitch

>>18847851

Drinking some 2021 W2T Lesser Evils right now. Its no coffee.

>>18837446
Arabica or robusta, anything works.
But do not listen to online tips, most Vietnamese do not actually know how to use this masterpiece.

1st of all, the grindsize, Fine grind size (not too espresso-like fine though)
2ndly, remember to press as hard as you can after the blooming is done.
You will end up with a super strong and thick coffee.

>>18847519
most reviews i checked out last month said they prefer paper and just use the steel ones when camping.

>>18847840
i do this because i have fun tinkering and seeing what flavours i get. treating it like a skill, where i make the most out of the equipment ive got, because im stingy, and potentially making someone the best cup theyve had since they went to a good cafe.
caffiene doesnt boost my mood enough that i depend on it, im fine drinking water all day instead.

Am I doing this right?

Some local roasters sell k-cups of their house blends and most popular roasts. Those would probably make a better gift than some of the 'nicer' k-cup brands you can find in stores.

>>18837436
Does anyone else beside my mother (and teaniggers) drink weak coffee? It's the ultimate teacuck's social drink, looks like shit and tastes like dog water.

>>18849228
Kek. I'm going to make a shitty superfine switch cup now too.

>>18846488
Yes. Had the same problem. Even the "filtered" water at work still had this shitty chlorinated bathroom water taste to it. Putting it through a filter pitcher fixed the taste.

>>18846499
I'm using spring water and brown paper filters, how much am I missing out? I think my technique and grind size is consistent, all things considered.

>>18849315
depends, do you like the taste of the coffee you're brewing?

>>18849318
Yeah, I'd say my cups taste good. Just wondering if optimizing it more is worth the effort.

>>18849325
It's worth it. Get some cafecs at the very least.

>>18849325
it'll make a difference but at that point it's nerd shit and you're probably enjoying the pursuit of making the perfect cup more than the coffee itself, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. my guests are perplexed when they see me take out a special jug of water when i brew for them when i have a separate water dispenser already. telling them you have a water recipe makes you look insane.

>>18849343
I might have the last untabbed white v60 filter, keeping it for good luck. What cafecs do you use? I hear its abaca or the light roast filter.

>>18849196

I don't have a grinder so they grinded it for me. I said for a pour over and it looks like what the Hoff has said in his pourover vids

Is Nespresso any good if you don't want to fork for a proper espresso machine?

>>18849356
I've got them all. You can't go wrong with origamis, mediums, or abacas. Haven't tried abaca+ yet. Lights and darks both stall differently. Used abaca for that gesha switch. Its so fucking good. I don't usually do long steeps like this. 320ml/20g in about 4:15. Let 200ml of it steep for the first 3 minutes and trickled in the rest while it was draining out. Fruity, floral, big velvety body.
>last untabbed white v60 filter
Sanyo Sangyo was the original manufacturer for those. They still sell them under the "white" label.

holy fucking based, thanks anon.

>>18849375
Why would you dog do that?

mm, liqueur-y.
i love it when iced coffee has that hit to it.

>>18846493
It genuinely makes a massive difference. Better option is to get (1) a cheap milligram scale, (2) epsom salt, and (3) either baking soda or potassium bicarbonate to formulate your own water for way cheaper than the third wave water packets.

I have a medium roast I'm trying for pourover that tastes a bit... muted? Is this an underextraction problem?

Is anyone else doing this little swirl once all the water is in the cone from Hoff's technique? It's increasing my brew time in Chemex for single cup by almost 1 minute but it does taste slightly fuller without increasing the bitterness.

>>18850270
"Muted" seems watery. Are you using any scales?

This was only ok, not great

is third wave water legit or a meme
worried about going too far down the rabbithole

>>18850864
>Pour 163ml of 93.5c water for 36 seconds and then stir counter clockwise with 2 bamboo (this is important) chopsticks

Man, I just can't take you coffee nerds seriously

legit but filtered water also does the job

>>18842409
>the most common moka pot size is 6 cup, i bet you think that means metric? nope! see the moka is made by retarded italians so to them a cup is like the size of an espresso shot and a 6 cup moka is supposed to make roughly 6 "shots" of coffee.
What is the true size of a moka cup anyhow? If you look it up you see claims everywhere that a cup is 2 ounces, but if you look at what moka pots are actually sized at it's closer to 1.5 ounces.

>>18851450
My 3 cup moka makes around 120ml of coffee

>>18840666
why don't you post a study satan?

>>18851455
my 2 cup moka pot makes about 250 ml. you're doing something wrong.

>>18851468
Anon, that's a 6 cup moka pot.

>>18851468
Your 2 cup moka doesn't make that much coffee. You're either bad at unit conversion or you don't know what size your pot is.

>>18851470
wanna bet?

>>18851472
ok i just measured and it makes about 200 ml of the best coffee on the planet.

>>18851479
Yeah that's about 4 standard shots at a bar, not 6 cups.
>>18851447
Just say you don't know what you're talking about and move on etc etc.

>>18851479
i can see your penis

>>18850542
Yeah standard 15/250 ratio

>>18847519
they don't impart any flavor but they do let through some oils from the coffee which paper picks up. Some like it, some don't. I usually use mine in the morning for a small cup. fairly easy to just tap most of the grounds and rinse it. throw it in the dishwasher every now and then or the water flow will decrease

>>18848585
Is this a meme, so I shell out for an Acaia scale?

>>18851468
that must be very inconvenient since a two cup moka doesn't fit 250ml

>>18851229
Leave then

I knew shilling Quan and Sey would get me somewhere. $85/125g

>>18849392
its good if you don't know what you're missing. nothing wrong with that. my main issue with nespesso is the capsule holds too little coffee, so the brew is both weak in strength and has a thin body (watery). its so convenient though

whats the most efficient way to make large batches of cold brew? and when i say large batches i mean like 5 gallons

>>18846838
>>18853140
magnet spin bar and plate

>>18846812
hmm i went back and did some digging. c40 clicks definitely cannot translate at all to 1zpresso k-max even though adjustments are not too far off in microns and k-max is "c style burr". filter settings straight translated will become almost espresso on k-series. basically the adjustment refers to vertical distance moved of the central burr, not actual gap size. distance adjustments in microns of the gap between outer ring and burr is not linear, and burr might be different size or geometry. too bad but it doesn't work

>>18850864
Weak. Too little coffee. Timing doesn't account for roast level–will not work the same for different coffees. Bloom was too short–weak again, possible over-under. Three minutes is too short. Weak again. Brown water. Increase coffee amount. Shoot for about 5 minutes. Shoot for at least a minute of bloom. Grind as fine as possible for your grinder until it takes bitter and you have obvious fine sediment, then back off. People are trying way too hard to account for unaccountable minutiae, while missing the big things.

newbie here, whats the difference between putting ground coffee on paper and pouring hot water on it and all those fancy smancy presses you all use?

>>18853818
Paper filters out all but the really fine fines and some of the coffee oils. Cleaner cup. For better or worse. Personal preferences.

>>18853818
french presses are literally just putting hot water on it with a bit of a filter to stop the sludge ending up in your cup

>>18851229
its called a recipe, and this is a cooking sub. make up your own,and get a consistent tasting cup every time.

>>18853818
supposedly you can better control the flavours with the pourover.
coffee press youre submitting all the grounds to water simultaneously.

>>18845029
What's the difference between washed and wet?

>>18854063
In washed, they depulp the cherry flesh, clean with water and maybe leave it there for a bit, then later take out and dry. Wet hull is like a partial depulp or maybe they leave the hull like the name suggest, then they bring it out to dry multiple times in different times or some shit (not really sure) because they cannot straight out leave it to dry due to high humidity in the climate. Wet hull is sort of unique to Indonesia. Maybe Sumatra taste funky because the progress is just cope for high humidity

Is it true that some roasters cool down coffee after roasting with water?

>>18853818
Percolation brews (where water flows through coffee) are easier to fuck up than immersion brews (where the water and coffee are mixed together and left for a bit).
The presses are just different ways of filtering the brewed coffee afterwards, a french press has a plunger that (in theory) stops coffee grounds from going past it (in reality it's not that great so you need to wait a bit for the grounds to settle), and an aeropress uses a plunger to force the coffee through a paper filter quickly, instead of waiting for it to slowly drain out.

I just want to share this lovely cup of coffee I had at an old café in Nagasaki few years ago.
Is there anything comfier than a quiet café early in the morning?

>>18854550
Yes there is. Starting with, coffee at home.
Coffee around a campfire in the morning. Coffee and a cigarette with dad on his porch. Fuck cafes

I accidentally bought some rather expensive filter coffee beans thinking they were espresso.
I have an espresso machine, a briki, and a phin filter at home. I'm guessing I could just use the phin filter, but is there a way to finagle the filter coffee into an acceptable brew with my espresso machine? Maybe with a long pre-infusion or something?

>>18854122
Not typically. You're talking about quenching. You'll see it in brewing competitions where they want to use a coffee that won't be ready in time, so they'll roast a batch and quench it to make it offgas immediately.

>>18854558
this
also grinding and brewing it yourself, comfy af

>>18837436
Bought a dark roast from my roaster, 'notes of smoke'
Yeah it just tastes burnt. Looks like a played myself

>>18841571
>>18841516
ive read that you can bloom regular coffee then pour off and that will decaffeinate it, is this true?

coffee pleb here, my black and decker dripper died so i bought this beast

>>18854857
Looks like a french press. They're a good choice. If you want a good recipe for them watch

>>18854878
thanks boss

>>18854591
Grind them espresso-fine, put them in the espresso machine, and see what happens?

>>18855200
That was my first thought, too. I tried it this morning and got a very sour result, even though the timing seemed right (1:2 ratio in about 30s). Probably due to under-extraction. I guess I could grind much coarser and try them out in the phin, but I love wasting time and money on hacking things together that shouldn't work, so I'm going to try to pre-infuse them longer tomorrow.

>>18837436
Tried doing a pourover with a light roast yesterday and the procedure+drawdown took like 5m. Did I grind too fine?

>>18855314
No

Considering upgrading my grinder (currently a Bodum Bistro) to get a more consistent grind. I'm thinking of getting a Kinu M47. My current brewing methods are Aeropress and Hario Switch (with the Switch way more often), and I prefer light roasts. Any reason I shouldn't go with the Kinu?

>>18855314
I've been fighting this for the last week while also trying new methods and it turns out it was the beans. Went from over 5 minutes to 3:30. Seems light roast Ethiopians are the worst for fines.

What do honey/natural process beans taste like?

I finally finished dialing in my new espresso machine. How do I stop myself from making several a day?

>>18855595
No, kinus are great.
