So, I bought this arabica plant today for 7€.

What am I in for? Will I be able to produce 1 espresso worth of coffee beans?

It means that 14 grams of grinded coffee were too much and the funnel was a little bit overfilled.
No, I didn't tamp the coffee of course.

>you won't laugh when I'll drink MY OWN coffee.
i will actually because you wont do it.
also isnt it more likely for a gentile to spend thousands every year to import coffee?
isnt growing your own coffee the most jew thing you can do?

>>19246967
Nah thats stealing kcups from work and emptying them out into a v60.

>>19246967
No because when I'll have my new home with a big private garden, I'll have my greenhouse that I will use to grow vegetables, fruit and coffee.

The jew will fear me for I'll be independent from supermarket trash.

Is an aeropress worth it if I'm gonna use it with pre-ground coffee? My coffee machine broke again today and I'm sick of buying these things. I'm thinking about buying one of an aeropress just so I don't have to worry about it breaking. Pic related, the slop I drink every morning.

>>19247066
Aeropress is always good
You'll have to figure out the right brew method and timing for yourself because immersion brewing is going to give you different results from your coffee machine's drip brewing

>>19247066
Will it be tasty coffee? Probably.
Will it be as tasty as with a grinder? No.

How can i minmax my tastebuds?

>>19246863

>>19246868

There’s an hypochondriac anon who’s afraid of using his timemore grinder because he’s scared that, being it made in China, it will leak poisonous metals into his coffee.

>>19247555
did he answer?

>>19247671
Nope, but it’s the weekend so I wasn’t expecting his message.

Ever since I had kids unless I go to a coffee shop I'm having a k-cup, either at home or in the office. I've changed... and I don't like it.

So I had a little experiment.

I took my moka pot funnel, placed the reducer on the 1 cup side and applied 2 aeropress filters inside, then covered with coarse coffee.
I then laid the funnel over an espresso cup and poured 92-93ºC water over the coffee, then watched the coffee drip.
Mixed everything, the smell was ok, took a small sip and it tasted a little bitter but it become the taste quickly sweet and caramel reminiscent, although weak and watery.

Overall, not a waste of time and with sugar it would’ve been drinkable imho.

Idk what I wanted to achieve but I had fun doing this with the leftover grinded coffee.

>>19247066
Seattle's Best is Starbucks rejected beans. Think about changing up. You can check the dates on the bag and most have a vent that's a pretty good indicator of decent coffee by smell. Better yet get a subscription to a roaster.

>>19247552
looks good, how was the taste.
my uncles (big into coffee, one is even married to super rich italian(old money), he's going to milan next week for 3 months) came for a surprise visit yesterday, and i served them some coffee, we had a good chat about moka and my rok grinder(they liked it). but i was disappointed in myself that i didnt have the best coffee to offer.
only $80/kg and it was a blend.
even worse is i just ordered $100/kg of 3 natural process single origin beans.
but the fact they enjoyed it was enough for me.
they even were interested in my technique and i walked them through everything, said they would try it out when they got home.
:)
i had a good weekend.

per me è la moka
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtN6AK9Ifek

Moka pot is the best price to quality ratio.
V60 and French press are cheap and easy too but not as tasty, still great.
Espresso is the best coffee overall but machines, maintenance, dialing in costs time and money.
Cups and pads are dogshit tier for literal scum or guests you don't like.
Aeropress is cheap, feels cheap too, pushing manually over a cup is a nuisance. Good coffee though.
Filter machines that work on a timer deserve a honorable mention for coffee right out of bed.

Those who add sugar/milk/whatever to coffee have never tasted good coffee.

>>19248728
It was good anon, I dialled in the grind for that coffee and it’s good, the taste is chocolate, toasted notes, a hint of smoke and liquor, nice and persistent aftertaste.
I’m mad that I can’t have a smooth extraction process like all the videos ITT.

>>19246855
>B E A U T I F U L. This is the term that best suits you, who spent Saturday and Sunday at the Massari Park for Giardini Estensi 2023, spring edition. Many, many, many. Interested and curious to find out what I was doing with that vintage car on an unexpected tricycle. When you realized that what was contained in the cups finally conquered you, without leaving unpleasant flavors, compliments were not spared. And today I'm in the Roasting to prepare more Coffee, for those who will come to Via Bongiovanni, and for those who will spend next Sunday at Assaporando a Novellara. When the challenging moments are repaid by the beautiful words of the public, you don't feel the fatigue of the races, of the Sunday early risers, but only a confirmation of your path, to be lived with passion. Thank you, really thank you. Now that you know where to find me in Ferrara, don't forget it.

Based, today he’s in torrefazione so he can answer my email in the afternoon when the place is closed to the public. He’s also going to roast the coffee I ordered on Friday.

>>19248899
>those who add...
Shame, you were making sense up until then. My lunchtime cappuchino was excellent btw, and I dab on all italiaboos. You can critizise my pouring if you want, I already know though

>>19249202
i prefer glass cups
i like to see my work right until the last drop

>>19249214
Thats valid anon, I like my cup for tactile reasons

>>19249219
also good clean glass will never impart any external flavor to the coffee whereas ceramic or whatever has a chance to.

new goffee will be here in a couple days
:) cant wait
i hope the flavor profile is complex, i havent done a schizo flavor breakdown in a while.
wait
i just checked the order again...
they sent me filter roast instead of espresso...
>Honduras. Las Flores, Santa Barbara, 1650 masl. Catuai, Honey, filter roast...
>Ethiopia. Bensa, Sidamo, 1900 masl. JARC 74110, 74112, and 74158, Natural, espresso roast.
>Honduras. Las Flores, Santa Barbara, 1500-1550 masl, Catuai, Anaerobic Honey, espresso roast.
well im sure the filter roast will be fine. :)

>>19249222
Hmm, I have some open pore handmade japanese stuff that I could see that happening with but these finnish cups are ultra sealed, no flavor at all

It really is the biggest ripoff I can currently think of, but muh convenience over basic drip or percolator.

>>19249342
I have never tasted good pod coffee.
Would the machine make a difference?

>>19249276
>he doesnt have an afternoon cortado

>>19249385
not really. some have a strong setting which just allows more time for extraction. never found any one to perform better/worse for a basic cup.

If you got nothing recent, you might as well worry about brewing with aluminum mokas because that’s a proven neurotoxin, or literally all food medicine and everything around you are made with or are in contact with petroleum products

>>19250176
for me its dried fruit, spices and winey
dried apricot skin
sultana
rum/raisin
nutmeg
cinnamon
star anise
a meat broth flavor can be fantastic, really fun umami experience.
i have enjoyed some lighter roasts that had alot of high vegetation and cut grass after taste with a herb body.
not really a citrus fan.
love a good pungent foot fungus/ cheese smell to my coffee.
i often find these have a woody/cork like after taste, very dry feeling
best to have this type black. this flavor profile doesnt mix well with milk from my experience.
i often find brazilian to be very nutty(hazelnut, macadamia, walnut(not brazil nuts funnily enough)). very dark chocolate feeling on the tip of the tongue.
i had a panama ultralight that was very floral and tea like.
that was fantastic.

>>19250261
And that's why aluminium moka pots are banned and petrol isn't served as a side with coffee. Jesus Christ.

>>19250281
based goffee enjoyer.
can you recommend a spices and winey, dried apricot skin, sultana, rum/raisin, nutmeg, cinnamon, star anise & meat broth coffee? haven't been able to find one yet.

>>19250325
>spices and winey, dried apricot skin, sultana, rum/raisin, nutmeg, cinnamon, star anise & meat broth coffee?
a coffee with all of those?
no sorry
but burundi kibingo natural process is my favorite
tastes like mulled wine
i should be better at keeping an up to date journal
i usually just post here and then it gets lost in the archives forever.
i keep a stack of cards from every bag of coffee i have bought, it contains info about the farm and the beans and a recipe(usually for v60)
ill sift through those so i can tell you the exact producer.
this years new years resolution was to read more, perhaps next years will be to write more:) well aside from all the posts i make here that is.

>>19250369
ah! i found it, last bag i had was around 3 months ago(my roaster doesnt have any in supply and i havent found this exact bean in my country either, maybe im bad at searching idk)
burundi, kibingo, kayanza
"This particular lot was processed at the Kibingo Washing Station located on both the Kirema and Kinga hills."
"The processing method for this coffee is natural with a unique twist. The ripe cherries are harvested and placed in GrainPro bags with the addition of LALCAFÉ CIMA yeast - saccharomyces cerevisiae. This yeast was developed for coffee production and is mixed with water until it’s smooth and lump-free. The mixture is then layered with the coffee cherries in the GrainPro bag. The bags are sealed, placed under shade, and left to ferment for 48 hours before being placed on African beds to dry for up to three weeks."
"Natural - Red Bourbon varietals grown and harvested at an altitude of 1893masl"
i would be interested to know if/where you can find this bean.
probably out of season or something.

also i have found that costa rica and and honduras often have very green, "high earth" taste, especially if they are washed
oh i think i remember, it might have been a fermented honey process coffee from india that was a bit meat brothy. if i remember correctly they fermented using a champagne yeast
again i should keep better records sorry:(

Anon this is the gayest thing that's ever been posted here. Including Trabatti.

Every time I make coffee with my moka it has a different flavour and strength, it’s a totally random experience.

Why didn’t you told me that coffee was a frustrating hobby?

>>19250488
Why did you assume it wasn't?

>>19250491
Because I was used to Nespresso where every pod reliably tastes like shit every time

>>19250474
im just replying to the guy who was interested
no booli :(

>>19250488
no good hobby is consistent and easy
if you aren't challenged you are stagnating and falling behind
every "bad" coffee is a unique experience
do you really just want to drink "good" coffee every time?
or do you want to push and be pushed every single day to develop a deeper more complex character based on unique lived experiences
do you really not want to expand your palate every day?
imagine dreaming of coffee every night
imagine not being able to fall asleep because you cant stop thinking about your next coffee and the potential flavor experience you will have
imagine refining your craft to a point where you brew a cup of coffee that you think about for the entire day and even days after as something to chase.
thats what i live for.

>>19250545
No anon, absolutely.
When I want a coffee, I expect to have a good coffee every time because otherwise I have anxiety if it's a russian roulette, even worse if I'm making coffee for other people.
I want certainty and stability in my life because not being able to steadily reproduce the same desired result gives me SEVERE anxiety because not being able to explain what's wrong makes me believe that my equipment is faulty and broken, and considered that I paid good money for it is something that makes me stay awake at night with stomach ache because of the rage and anxious repetitive thoughts.

That's why I called Nespresso before, because it may be shitty but for the last 10 years I always drank the same coffee with 100% realiability.

>>19250304
In Health Evaluation No. 033/2007 [2], the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) clearly states “No danger of contracting Alzheimer’s disease from aluminum in household utensils.” Furthermore, this document states that there is no scientific evidence indicating a connection between aluminum uptake from foodstuffs, including drinking water, pharmaceuticals, or cosmetics, and Alzheimer’s disease. No increases in the frequency of amyloid plaques in the brain have been found in dialysis patients or in aluminum workers, both groups of people with extensive contact with aluminum. The BfR, therefore, does not recognize a health danger for consumers through aluminum uptake from food and cooking utensils or cosmetics [2]. The BfR does recommend that consumers avoid the use of aluminum pots or dishes for acidic or salted foodstuffs such as apple sauce, rhubarb, tomato puree, or salt herring due to the increased solubility of aluminum under the influence of acids and salts, thus prophylactically avoiding the “unnecessary ingestion” of aluminum [2].
...
Additional human inner aluminum exposure through the proper use of aluminum moka pots is negligible. Even under the worst-case scenario of washing the moka pots in a dishwasher, the uptake amounts to only 4% of TWI. The manufacturers expressly warn not to clean the aluminum moka pots in the dishwasher.

thanks for the writeup. i knew a guy from burundi, funny guy. also i've heard their teas are bio as they're too poor to buy pesticides, it's what the priest said when he gifted a bag to my mum. the church helps them with tea plantation, sucks it's not coffee though.

>>19250768
you can make tea with coffee cascara :)

>>19250757
You still have an undesired intake of something dangerous.
I won't take risks and avoid aluminium entirely since I can choose to go stainless steel.

>>19250935
you need to let go anon...

>>19250999
But my pot gurgles and I don’t know why.
Sometimes the voices in my head tell me to just buy a mokista and be done with it, but I don’t want to let them win.

>>19251018
have you tried the same technique but with a cheap 6 cup moka
just to make sure your technique is right and then you can scale down.

>>19251032
I used a 3 and 1 cup Bialetti for months and my technique was perfect.
I didn’t expect these difficulties when upgrading to a better moka.
The fact is that coffee is good so I shouldn’t bother…but the autism is strong. :(
Every day I make a coffee I weigh the liquid in the cups to make sure it used all the water and if I get less coffee than what’s my benchmark I feel shivers, I suffer.

>>19251146
>a better moka.
with all the trouble you are having?
i doubt that.
>used all the water
anon we talked about this.

>>19251151
The troubles are in his mind.
If the moka bubbles out the remaining 15-20% of the coffee doesn’t mean anything if he says that the coffee tastes good.
You’re literally obsessing over nothing.
Just drink your coffee and be at peace.

>>19251154
>if he says that the coffee tastes good.
but he's italian(as far as i can tell)
so i inherently dont trust him or his taste buds.

Threadly reminder to do the needful and email Mr. Trabatti with any and all questions.

What's the cheapest temperature controlled electric gooseneck kettle there is? I want a kettle, but I'm reluctant to drop more than like $40 USD on one.

>>19251605
>>19251593
oh oh oh!
i just had an idea!
what if you just boil water (100c) no temp control
and then put in a kitchen thermometer and wait for it to cool down to the temp you want and then pour :)
you could do that for like... 20 bucks

>>19250176
I've seen some roasters use flavour notes not found in this wheel (elderflower). Are they just making shit up (even more)?
I doubt most roasters have an SCA-certified taster

>>19251593
I bought this chinkshit from Amazon
Works great for me as a gooseneck kettle but I've yet to test the accuracy of the temperature. I just assume it's consistent(ly wrong) even if it's +/- some degrees
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2HVXH5Z

>>19251645
this is not some universal standardised chart anon.
also they already have floral, berry, dried fruit, other fruit on the list.
i mean it would get a bit cluttered if they put literally every single thing that coffee could possibly taste like
also taste is very subjective which is why flavor notes for coffee are total worthless bullshit 99% of the time
and also can change depending on equipment used, brewing method, even the water that you used can change the taste to some degree.

i was so tired i fell asleep for 20 minutes and woke up with 15 minutes to get to the post office because i was out of beans and i needed these beans.
so i ran to the post office(long ass line because they were about to close)
got my shit, made dinner and now im here. typing, debating if i want to stay up even longer just so i can taste these beans.
also my other normal roaster gives me little personalised cards :)

>>19252596
The same tard who would have an australian psychologist. I figured you took whatever you could get as a bushman. Like with the beans. Its been months since your favorite roaster had anything interesting, now you're grasping at straws looking for an alternative. Tomorrow you'll post about disliking the beans and wondering if they'd be better on the misaligned rok.

Plastic is a petrol product, Jesus Christ. Try avoiding that, the modern world is literally built on oil. Shit you use are probably leaking plasticizers after a few years, or sooner if degraded from sun exposure. Paper coffee cups are also lined with plastic, as are basically all your food packages.

Guessing you drank a bunch of grounds. French press has poor filtration, so what you need to do is let it settle for a few minutes first, so all the grounds fall to the floor. You'll still probably get some but not much.

Comment: everything looks fine, although a bit fast. Coffee tasted good but a little bit over extracted, need to grind a couple steps finer.

Later with the 3 cup extraction.

I love coffee :)

>>19253033
you gotta pull that shit from the heat like yesterday, brew.

Moka pot, aeropress, or french press for when you only have pre ground coffee?

Bean bros, I got myself a pocket precision scale to weigh goffee.
It has a 0.01 gr resolution and I paid 14€ for it.

Did I do good? Pic related.

>>19253283
Yes you did good. I got the hario scale with a timer but you can just use your phone. Some of those cheaper scales auto turn off which is annoying when you are half way through the routine

>>19253283
>max 300g
Didnt see this. Goodbye any glass caraffe or 2 cup brews. You did not do good and I retract my previous statement

>>19253283
>>19253291
Forget glass caraffes, if this thing can't handle more than 300g it's basically useless for anything other than maybe measuring espresso output.

>>19253291
I use the scale only to weigh beans, also I use moka

Its a art not a science, you cannot does by grams with moka, need to dose by "volume" (in quotes because you dont account for compaction, its basically astrology)

Buy a weightman or some other rebranding of it. Chinesium but high quality chinesium. Also about 15 bucks.

>Today, before I get ready to roast, I would like to dwell on the meaning that the word "open" has for me. The meaning goes far beyond the possibility of the public entering the Torrefazione, the first logical deduction. Any company or person grows professionally and culturally thanks to two precious contributions: personal initiative, and coming into contact with new realities and minds. Without prejudice to the principles that govern a winning work system or product, nothing prevents the comparison between different realities, and I am sure, as has already happened in the past, that there is never a shortage of positive surprises to add a piece of further improvement on all sides. Never stop and sit on your laurels. We remain open to tomorrow. And in some cases, even this afternoon.

>>19253056
right, thats not an issue. you physically pull the pot from the heat. allow the built up pressure from the boiler do its thing. the coffee will still percolate for quite some time, off the heat. when you notice it slow down some, then you put it back on for a few seconds. repeat this till the brew is done (you get that loud bubbly sputter)

Don’t push me, Alberto.

>>19253485
you think hes talking about some random intimate encounter with a patron that came in for some bean? (in his last sentence)

>>19253496
I wonder what the fuck is he going to write when I visit him.

My autistic aura will have such a devastating impact on him that it’s a realistic possibility that he will either close the activity or start brewing beer from the day after.

>>19253421
I have one I got off of ali and it's great. Battery is still showing max after more than 6 months and the backlight is good. Main problem I have with it is the size, which is often a benefit since you can easily toss it in your pocket if you want to take it somewhere, but it can be a pain when using bigger containers.

>>19253506
still no money for the zoo?

>>19253486
I tried making a coffee with that flame btw, just made it and fuck it was good and tasty.
It went like this: slow extraction and sudden stop without any bubbling or hissing.
I thought there was like 80% of the dose of coffee I have when I use a higher flame so I raised the flame for 30 seconds or something and nothing happened, no steam and no sounds, not even the water boiling.
When I cleaned the pot there was a very thin layer of water, like 6 grams.

Initial water 70 grams and yield 49 grams.

This pot is a mistery but the coffee was fine as fuck.

https://files.catbox.moe/cxzdr0.mp4

Comments: coffee tasted as good as before when I made the 1 cup extraction.
The video shows the phenomenon of the coffee bubbling halfway and quickly reaching 85/90% of the final yield, then bubbling more violently until the desired quantity of coffee is reached (when the video stops).

>>19254103
you're poor. move on.

>>19252832
depends on how much coffee you drink.

>>19254120
Guise I found a $4 scale is it good?

>>19254116
>>19253033
grim...
first off im just going to say that if you enjoy it then thats all that matters.
second thing is as we have talked about before the thermal properties of stainless steel which makes this pot simply much harder to manage the heat properly.
and the 3/1 cup thing means the dynamics are just all over the place.

ok now onto the first video, your coffee is done at 20 seconds. take it off the stove and rest it, because only 7 seconds later we see a ton of very aggressive bubbles, these bubbles and that sound usually mean the extraction is wrong and the liquid those bubbles are bringing up is bad coffee.
now are you starting on high flame and then turning down to low when coffee first comes out or are you doing low the whole time(again i have no experience with small cup/stainless steel moka)
something i find interesting is from like 9-18 seconds there is like a stop start of the flow, for me, on a good brew that never happens, the flow can slow but there will never be a break in the flow.
video 2 has a similar stop start, and it should have been taken off at around 30 seconds and left to rest. everything past 50 seconds is a disaster as far as im concerned
from my personal experience if i had been the one brewing either of these videos i would deem both undrinkable and both would have been tipped down the drain.
but again, you said you enjoyed it so i dont want to take that away from you.

>>19253046
cold brew
or if you hate the taste i guess french press.
i mean if you just do it for the caffeine i would say just take caffeine pills.

>that link
holy shit why is it so thin even at the start.
it actually hurts how many people have no fucking clue how to actually use a moka.
that video hurts me.

>>19254334
What else could I do?

I'm not a drooling mongoloid, I used moka pots for years and I never experienced a pot doing shit like this despite using 5 different ground coffee and now X different grinds I can change on the fly with my grinder.

I linked them the catbox video and asked if this is normal and if not then it's up to them to tell me what to do or to give me a new pot. It's called technical assistance for a reason.

>>19254346
At least his moka behave correctly and only bubbles and gurgles when it's done (and the guy doesn't even remove it from the gas).
I use a barely visible flame and I get both a hiccup style extraction AND violent bubbling, like what the actual fuck.

>>19254354
>and only bubbles and gurgles when it's done
IT IS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BUBBLE OR GURGLE FOR ANY REASON
holy fuck.
if that happens the brew is fucked.
jesus christ its actually exhausting.

>>19254335
>Please Mr Moot he's making fun of a bozo who's been spamming the same issue for a month now you have to do something

>>19254358
I know, I was just saying that at least it happens at the end when it's supposed to be happening if you don't leave the pot from the stove.
With my pot it happens when the moka is supposed to be on the stove, that's the anomaly.

>>19254361

to now. Do better. If Trabatti thinks you're beyond helping, what can we do?

>>19254503
And I always said "thank you" after getting help.

The grinder works wonderfully and coffee tastes good despite this moka issue.

Once I'll solve this problem I'll have nothing more to write here but talking about the coffee I drink.

And when you got the grinder, I asked you to stop posting for a few weeks, figure shit out on your own, and report back with your findings. Instead you've posted how many times about not getting a response to your emails and bubbles? Make the coffee. Learn. Come back to educate. You've been told many times about the difference in heat conductivity between your old aluminum pot and new stainless gianinni. Even the dedicated mokaautist here is tired of it.

Dude stop pretending to be that anon, you’re pathetic and probably mentally ill too.

>>19254644
Ok NOW FUCK OFF everyone.
I’m the original Trabatti anon here.
I wrote one (1) message to him more than one month ago and posted it here. That’s it.
I don’t know why the resident schizo started posting about me writing Trabatti again and not getting a reply, that never happened and you can clearly spot his messages because he over exaggerates the issue by writing multiple times the same thing.
What happened was that I bought his coffee and posted the screenshot of the order one (1) time and I never wrote about it again because I’m waiting to receive it before commenting.
I don’t know why people here attacked me, however 90% of the posts about Trabatti and me are made by a disturbed person which either copy paste my previous messages or copy paste translated posts from Trabatti Instagram page.
You’ve been warned and no I won’t use a trip because I’m not a fag.

>>19254644
As always, the dipshits can't follow along. He's been begging for help here for a month, didn't get the answers he wanted, then shits on reddit because he asked there 3 days ago and also didn't get the answers he wanted. Then got caught because he selfsnitched and I googled "reddit moka" for the link. I knew today was going to be a good day. You see how the conversation starts here?

ok so the first of my new bags is the
>Ethiopia. Bensa, Sidamo, 1900 masl. JARC 74110, 74112, and 74158, Natural, espresso roast.
i guess these guys think espresso roast means dark roast? or maybe im retarded for thinking espresso roast means medium idk
well not dark, medium dark.
but still, alot of roasty like campfire smoke flavors high in the mouth, and then a like paper bark tree kind of smell/taste under the tongue.
and the after taste is very fungus-y
reminds me alot of Enoki mushrooms
i added a pinch of panela and milk which removes all of the roast and mellows it out
what's left is still an Enoki mushrooms sort of taste but is mostly more of a 90% dark chocolate/praline thing.
im sure this will be great for milk drinks which are fun to make but im not thrilled that "it will be fun for milk drinks" is the conclusion coffee this expensive.
idk. ill try a slower extraction and a smaller yield later.
also very smooth texture.
not acidic or bitter or astringent at all.
which is a plus.

at first i was annoyed by getting a filter roast by mistake but now i think im actually the most excited for it.
thanks for reading my blog :)

Why does your page look like that? Are you using some sort of plugin and selfsnitching again?
>>19254724
Glad to read it anon:) Heading out to roast the gesha right now. "Espresso" roasts always tend to be on the more developed side. Easier to extract vs optimized for flavor. Sorry I compared you to this italian schizo pal, its not even close. You getting any drift after taking the rok apart?

>>19254763
>You getting any drift after taking the rok apart?
none actually, which after hearing so many people talk about it had me worried but i actually check(because i marked out the adjustment wheel and body with 2 bits of tape so i could see if there is any drift)
something that might be confusing people is the adjustment wheel has a decent amount of slop(?) so it jiggles a fair bit but from my experience it won't actually change the grind size unless you turn it and you can feel the wheel going to the next step, in my experience thats just not something the grinder can do on its own unless there is something seriously wrong. but thanks for looking out :)
i wish they would just say light/medium/dark when buying it. because espresso roast for 1 roaster could be medium and for another it could be dark.
a picture of the beans on the website would be a nice touch.
and yes i know i should take the home roasting pill but hey, one goal at a time.
this years goal is the hg2 prime, next year is some form of espresso(probably the flair) and then after that is up in the air.
in my line of work its not a great idea to set big plans more than a year or so out. :)

i made a caramel slice yesterday.
it was good.
used coconut milk instead of cow milk.
the caramel didnt really set like the ones you see in the store so its a bit crumbly.
:)

>>19254835

Got some of the gesha roasted up and snuck in another batch of the 36hr pacamara before the rain set in. The kenyan is delightfully limey. Decided to brew in my knockoff metal v60 for the first time. Picked it up to use as a roasting funnel/air restrictor.
> next year is some form of espresso(probably the flair) and then after that is up in the air.
I'll shill you flairs all day buddy. If you take the homeroasting pill first you'll quit wasting $100/kg on espresso roasts. Makes everything else more affordable.

>>19254847
& the pacamara. I should probably figure out how to join my phone's videos so I can do green to roast to brew webms.

what roaster is that
is that the popcorn looking thing?
anyway, whats the power usage on those things.
i figure probably the same as any other popcorn machine?

>>19255237
wait $20/kg??????
how much is that roaster?
sheeiit
thats looking mighty convincing...

>>19255201
Where can I order it? I'm in the US BTW.

>>19255242
Thats looking straight down into a popper* without the lid. I don't use the lid/chaff catcher because I like getting a long bar spoon down in there to agitate early. Some people just shake theirs.
>whats the power usage on those things.
1150w ac heater coil, 50w dc fan. Both those roasts were under 5 minutes of heat then a 3 minute cooling cycle.

>>19255260
I paid $90 usd for it. They're on sale for $80 until they run out of v1. v2 will be out by the end of the year with a motor thats a bit better for darker roasts and they'll be selling the upgrade motor by itself to drop into older units.

>>wait $20/kg??????
The gesha was about twice that. $15usd/lb green vs $7.50. Why the fuck do you think I've been trying to get others into roasting? Stop paying the slimy melbournian cunts and Trabatti's of the world. You can fuck up roasts on your own and always have a supply of fresh goffee.

goffee time
this time i made a milk drink, lets see how it tastes.
huh
weird
i thought it would be better
but it was better black
:(

oh well. i opened the Honduras. Las Flores, Santa Barbara, 1650 masl. Catuai, Honey, filter roast
and these beans are medium and they smell great.
so i will try those next, either tonight or tomorrow morning.

actually. this coffee has cooled own alot and is sweeter.
ill keep that in mind for next time :)

i will probably wait for the v2 to really check out roasting.
i dont like to invest in something when i know there is an upgrade or "better" version around the corner.
but also thats super cheap, i was expecting like $500 or something.

>>19255274
its completely sold out in my country.
and im not in the US so i cant help you with that sorry :c

>>19255603
>i dont like to invest in something when i know there is an upgrade or "better" version around the corner.
It won't be an "upgrade" if you're not planning on roasting dark. People were extending the roast time and jamming full so there were some failures. They just changed the fan and motor out on their next batch. I'll be snagging the new motor just to have as a backup since I probably should let mine cool down a bit more in between batches.
>>but also thats super cheap, i was expecting like $500 or something.
The original (popcorn) popper I modded was $20. Looks like similar ones on aussiezon are $80ish.

>>19255658
>having to retard proof a fucking air popper
christ.

>>19255658
Different anon but a while back I was thinking about getting one of those popper things and roasting my own beans but everyone was against it said it was hard didn't work well etc.
So does it work okay? I want light roasts, shit like ethiopians. All my local roasters are mediocre at best so it's not a high bar really.

>>19255704
I've roasted 100+lbs across two different poppers over the past couple years. They work great. Anyone telling you they don't doesn't actually roast coffee. People have been roasting in popcorn poppers since the 70s.
>>19255667
Thats literally what it is. Mine came with a big card saying
>Hey dipshit this isn't a set and forget roaster don't burn your house down.
Unsurprisingly this was only happening to the dark roast gang. Everyone else was actively watching their roasts because you're hitting first crack in 4 minutes. Don't choke the chamber off, that heat needs to escape.

Alright self-roasters, how much mass is lost in the roasting process for a light roast?
My typical brew dose is 22g for filter so at least for that Popper, the recommended 85g per batch (with possibility of 90 - 100) seems decently matched if I can roast 88g - 92g at a time

>>19255802
>mass loss
didnt think of that.
true.

>>19255704
it can be done. it satisfies a cooking craving, if you get those. it doesnt take a genius to roast a bean. but be warned it wont be consistent across your attempts.
i mix it up, my own, and then a kg from a roaster until i forget what my own tasted like, and then back to roasting another lot of my own.

>>19255802
>>19255887
I lose ~10% on my roasts but it will vary by bean and how you like to roast. The pacamara was 90in78out, can't tell you for the 115g of gesha since I spilled a bunch :/ I typically do 115g batches expecting ~100g out, agitating until the bed starts rolling to avoid any early scorching. If you drop the dose this isn't as necessary but will still help. I use a kruve stir stick I had laying around but any long bar spoon or chopstick will work fine.

Everything is roasted hot and fast, starting with 100% power and going down a nudge every minute. I've heard thats how the moodtrap guy roasts so I'm giving it a try, usually I start at a bit lower on the heat and I get first crack about 5 minutes. Moodtrap guy is also renting roasting time by the hour so it makes sense he's doing ultralight ultrafast roasts. The kenyan and pacamara went a little darker as per the seller's suggestion. Thats the first time I've seen oils on that 2020 gedeb and also the quickest I've ever hit first crack. Goffee is strange and delicious.

Been exploring coffee. Is bench maji okay? My experience is usually robusta.

>accidentally bloom for 4 minutes
Is it still ok?

>>19256092
Isn't that just brewing at that point?

>>19256122
Well nothing was dripping out. Not sure how it affects the grinds. Coffee was a little bitter but not real bad

>>19256129
Yeah that's just called immersion brewing at that point

>>19256122
its all brewing you idiot

>>19256008
is it weird to say the first 2 look "sickly"?
and the other 2 look correct.
i think the Gedeb Chelchele looks the most appetizing

>>19256177
I've noticed that "speckling" happens on a lot of high sugar content beans. I've got a salvadoran black honey process that looks wildly uneven at lighter roasts. The darker you roast, the more "even" the whole batch will look. I was just comparing those pics to the sey la palma I had earlier this year. ~7x more expensive green than the honey gesha, even lighter and sicklier. You're just used to more medium roasts. There some good pictures of the same coffee at different levels here.

Made some moka to see what the fuzz is about, a washed colombian bean im not too fond of in the press

>>19256332
how did you make it

>>19256344
With my moka pot. 22 grams in, preheated, preboiled water, low flame, ca 3 min extracyion before cooling it under the tap (although I didnt time it).

Taste was good, albeit a bit sour. The beans are described as citrusy on the bag but thats a meme term and didnt pick up on that whrn immersing. All in all, a pleasant morning cup and the best result ive had from these beans so far

Anyone manage to snag a zerno today?

>>19256447
no but i got herpes it might not be as good but it's cheaper

>Ohoho, so you want to make the bestest of coffee?
>Well let me tell ye the secret, boyo
>Ye must be using 1g of coffee
>Fer every 10ml of water
wtfffff too strong

>>19256546
what?

>>19256550
It's the recommended dosage on the v60 filters

>>19256554
are you just starting out

>>19256570
no

>>19256574
sounds like you are

>>19256546
A 400 g/L proportion is pretty impressive

>>19256554
I would use 1 to 10 ratio if I use stale coarse pre-grind supermarket junk Hario assume you use. Otherwise I range from 1:14 to 1:16. Just look up a recipe then start tweaking from there. My smell/tongue isn’t as sensitive as Hoffman, I find 1:16.66 always too weak personally. No one uses 1:10, that’s like a moka ratio

>local cafe has own-roasted range of Brazilian, Colombian and Indonesian beans.
oh wow

>>19256631
>Brazilian, Colombian
*yawn*

How does this look?

>>19256740
why is there coffee grounds in your cup?

>>19256631
At least it’s fresh, but without more info it just sounds like commodity grade stuff and earthy indos to ramp up body in blends

>>19256745
It's from a cafe and the server had some spillage

>>19256787
>the server had some spillage
what? where did the grounds come from other than the espresso?

>>19256802
I don't know, she made the espresso and said "oops" and then brought the coffee. I didn't see through her body.
