There are many kinds, some far worse than others. Some are OK, but if you just remember that instant coffee is different than "real" coffee and learn to expect a different coffee drinking experience you'll soon get over your hangups. If you can find an instant coffee that's OK. Folgers is unironically good.

>>19885679
Why even bother with the coffee flavour at that point, it's inefficient bloat. Just snort caffeine powder.

Bump.
Don't drink filter coffee. I remember reading some filters are good others are bad from Hario. I've never seen these. My initial research points to it's not the bad ones (the ones made in Netherlands) just the new packaging.

>>19885930
how are they "bad"

>>19885937
Despite the same branding, some hario filters have a slower drawdown than others. Having an inconsistent experience is bad. Just buy cafecs or konos if you can.

>>19885961
isnt the packaging and design different based on where its made

>>19885937
I don't have expertise in the matter, just remeber a hoffmeme video about difference between filters like >>19885961 anon says. Being a neophyte in the filter game it is my will to mimic what is desirable by those in the know. I never saw this packaging (green) but they're made in japan and from my limited research it's those made in the netherlands that are undesirable. Wanted confirmation from the local filter drinkers, but will have to do with them first before buying cafecs or konos (will keep that in mind though).

>>19885978
A bleached size 2 hario filter should perform the same no matter if you get it in a box or bag, included with a brewer or not. They don't. The tabbed papers from a jap imported hario switch might be the worst I've ever tried to use. Buying papers from the same company shouldn't be a minigame of tracking down the right pack from the right factory. Cafec used to make hario's filters and they were great, hario cut them out and launched factories around the world and inconsistencies sprung up between them. If you want the old "legendary" jap made hario tabless people talk about, buy the cafec whites. They come in a green(01) or yellow(02) pack.

>>19886090
>Buying papers from the same company shouldn't be a minigame of tracking down the right pack from the right factory.
it is what it is, but thanks for the info, ill keep it in mind
i just thought you might be talking about something more serious than basic consumer research when you said "Don't drink filter coffee." and that some filters are "bad"

>>19886112
shit. I meant to say "I don't drink filter cofffee".

>>19886137
oh lol well that does change things a bit doesnt it

>>19886112
> thought you might be talking about
Different anons. I do drink filter. Ive got cafec (whites, abacas, mediums, lights, origamis), kono, yiting pure f, and hario(tabbed white, tabbed brown) and april flat bottoms all sitting here. I've been using whites and aprils more than anything, but its mainly because I've been making single cups and decided I don't like wasting a bunch of paper when I don't need to. Glad I just went through the stash, found a pound of Loma La Gloria Red Bourbon black honey.

Is Death Wish goffee just regular goffee sprayed with instant caffeine crystals?

>>19886505
They sell robusta blends.

>>19885656
last thread was incredibly homosexual

>>19886528
Sorry, confused by what you mean by this. Is robusta a higher caffeine content than arabica so they sell a mix?

>>19886566
Yes. Robusta has about twice as much caffeine as arabica. Mainly used for instant and Italian espresso blends because it tastes like shit but is way cheaper to produce. Woody, burnt rubber.

>>19885708
this might be better than nescafe, idk though

Anons I have a serious inquiry for Turkish coffee autists.

I wanna try brewing it in hot sand. Is a common stainless steel saucepan adequate to pour some pure sand into and then heat it up?

Why am I doing this: my cezve is a little uneven at the bottom and obviously the hobs on my electric oven are too large for it anyway, so the potential heat loss is triggering my autism. It also takes ages to brew a full cezve in case I'm making two cups.

I'm also gonna have to re-tin it in places.

+ your whatever hand grinder you like over $150usd but ideally over $250
you can make better coffee with $100 manual espresso machine and a $250 manual grinder than you can with a $100 manual grinder and a $250 manual espresso machine

>>19887620
literally just buy a cheap Krups blade grinder and good quality beans, fresh ground high quality coffee is by far most important for getting decent results. I went from a mr coffee and blade grinder to a Moccamaster and Baratza encore and the difference wasn't even that noticeable.

>>19887786
Speaking of coffee machines, how is the liquid so dark and full of body while pourovers make tea-like drinks most of the time? How do I maximize the body on the V60 to get similar results?

>>19887994
I’ve found keeping the water level low (like just above the bed of coffee) and pouring slow works well, in theory it prevents bypass, ymmv

For US people do you have any local roasters that are selling bags for $15 or less? The few roasters near me I'm lucky to find a bag for $20 and everything usually starts at $22. I order all of my coffee because it's so much cheaper to have coffee shipped to me than it is to buy locally.

>>19888397
And for everyone who just drinks coffee ie they're not using pour overs and watching YouTubers their preference is roasted to the point of charring or coffee with so many additives the coffee may as well be coffee-flavored syrup.

>>19888540
This guy should really be charging more. 300g bags of some pretty good crops. The wuri grade zero has been popular when I've rec'd it to others.

They're using folgers. Get a darker roast and you'll have dark oily coffee dripping out your v60.

i've been enjoying these lately. normally do a french press but i'm cutting down.

>>19888540
no, my local roasters are closer to 20 but i buy older bags of their stuff from the local grocer for 15

Does /ctg/ like Cuban coffee?

>>19888633
Not familiar. Is it beans from cuba? A cuban way of brewing coffee like sugar in the moka pot with the grounds?

>>19888584
That's one of the places I order from. Just finished a bag of the Wuri and the Colombia Huila. A friend just got a bag of the Brazil and said it's one of the best they've had.

>>19888611

finer grind, water will pass through more slowly and extract a lot more coffee. But a lot of "body" is oil and the paper filter removes most of it. If that's your priority you're better off getting a French press or a Moka Pot

What's the optimum coffee to water ratio for a drip machine?

Alright, I tried Taster's Choice straight black.
>3.8g instant
>269g water at 78°C
I tried to mimick the concentration you'd find in a 1:15 french press brew. It tasted hollow, under-extracted, and just plain bland. Very low bitterness, low acidity, lack of any discernible flavour, and a little oxidized. I can see the use for this in quick little milk drinks and desserts, but definitely don't recommend this for regular coffee drinking. This initial foam in pic related was a bit off-putting, but it dissipated eventually.

>>19889675
>78°C
why not 100c?

>>19889675
>Taster's Choice
>doesnt say if french roast, house blend, 100% colombian, hazelnut
this is amateur work

>>19886759
You should expect that these 2 taste completely different.
Most people complain because they drink robusta but have the expectation of having something similar to arabica.
Robusta does not taste stronger or anything, the taste is just much more bitter and because the stuff is usually dark roasted there is almost no fruity notes.

>>19889759
It's the classic "select arabica". I'm >>19881288 from the previous thread.

>>19889757
That's the lowest pre-set temperature on my electric kettle.

>>19889807
ok but why

for coffee anything less than 90 is unacceptable

BOILING WATER IS 100C
fuck it just pour hot tap water into the cup if you cant even be fucked BOILING WATER

after taking a break trying to crack light roasts in the joepresso i've about nailed it today. all i had to do was lower the dose :D

-light, washed ethiopian
-8g
-40ml water at 100c
-30g out

i plan on testing 9g tomorrow and possibly lowering the water by 5ml increments and/or increasing preinfusion time. the top of the puck looked like the surface of the moon but it was by far the best extraction i've had with light roasts.

>>19888397
how about italian espresso? AMERICA

I went to the thrift store and found an electric burr coffee grinder for $7, that was pretty nice, it even came with some coffee beans still stuck inside, I wonder why someone would give it away when they're like $90 everywhere else, ppl are so wasteful desu, but stores are even more so, the reddit coffee hipster tax is real and i refuse to participate.
Bin stores are pretty nice too, I think my whole coffee setup cost like $35 and that doesn't even buy you one overpriced pour over coffee dripper (Hario v60) that every redditor swears by cus it's made in Japan™

>>19890067
v60s are 20 bucks these days
good find tho

>>19890067
A plastic hario is $10, a glass or ceramic one is 20-30

>>19888637
Traditional Cuban coffee is dark roast brewed in moka pot. You take some sugar, mix the first few drops of coffee into the sugar and whip to create a thick sugar foam. Then pour the rest of the coffee on top of the foam. Drink

It’s essentially just sweetened dark roast you drink black but it can be good if brewed correctly.

exactly what i thought from the thumbnail

>>19890943
>Swisscoffee coffee beans or ground is the emblem of our capsule coffees, due to its harmony between robusta and arabica, offering a perfect balance. Coffee with a gourmet character, the aromas of cocoa and red fruits remind us of the local origins of coffee, a taste journey to Brazil, Colombia and Vietnam. The light touch of robusta provides an interesting balance to the taste of the coffee, thus mitigating the acidity.

Tastes really good. Almost tempted to see how it tastes in capsule jej. No acidity, some choco/nutty/caramel notes. The smol robusta limits the acidity while bringing complexity to the cup.
Great coffee that balances well with the afternoon Guji Bule Hora.
Would buy again.

>>19890067
We, old poors, thrive in a wasteful society. I found my melitta grinder on the curb. It's buck burr, which is a cheaper way to make burr blades. It produces reasonable enough results. Definitely not shrapnel coffee like a blade grinder. I mostly use a french press. I have a moka for pure entertainment value.

ar u ded?

just saw a kickstarter for a stand alone milk steamer for 350 dollars. what the fuck could possibly be the usecase

>>19893460
manual espresso machine doesnt make steam so if you want to make milk drinks using a steam wand you need this which looks like a fucking bomb and is a pain in the ass the actually use.
and is $100.
so that $350 stand alone milk steamer does actually have a market.
you should link it.

>>19893532
can't link kickstarter. but manual espresso machines generally have steam wands in the mid-end like flair 58, so way better than this + shittier flair.
it's called "the morning dream". can't link

>>19893912

Yeah, "fancy shit?" This is entry level for basic coffee because I'm a poorfag. You must be a povertyfag or something.

>>19893922
light roast is hard to use for french press.
also just ignore that retard.
generally this general doesnt drink dark roasts so not really much to recommend.
also country/state is important. but you can usually look in the pastebin which op forgot because they are a fag.
the pastebin is in the last thread.
go to any of the websites listed under your country/closest country and find a dark roast.
generally an espresso roast will mean dark/medium dark
i personally dont use french press but i drank some Costa Rica Las Lajas Alma Negra. natural process, medium dark.
and its great.
the tasting notes as usual are totally wrong but still a very good cup.

>>19893948
Thank you. I like to make about 3 cups, and can't be getting up to go through the process of making 3 individual cups of coffee so pour over options are limited.

I haven't drank much coffee since pre-covid and thought about getting back into it.
Was coffee always this expensive or did prices go up dramatically since covid?

My costco had $5/lb medium roast whole bean again so I bought a bunch, I should really drink it faster because I can never finish a bag before it starts smelling sweet and rancid, even in an airtight jar, but I can't find anything that smells as good at this price range in single 12oz bags.
I still haven't finished the last bag and I still have probably 2 weeks of mildly staling coffee ahead cus I don't like wasting it, I would make more than 20oz in a day but I get panic attacks if I drink much more than that.

Where do people get hario style filters in the US that isn't online? Cus even walmart sells melitta style filters.
I've been using basket style folded over twice and they clog sometimes and I just ran out so I had to go back to using my melitta which just kinda makes everything taste the same regardless if you poured it slowly or not, still not going back to my French press, it has too many moving parts and I always hated disassembling it to wash it, simply rinsing it would leave a nasty rancid oil buildup after a week of daily use and you could taste it in the coffee, with filters I don't even have to wash anything, the filter gets thrown grounds and all in the garden.

>>19893966
>$45/kg is expensive

>>19893998
buy a vacuum sealer and portion it out and then freeze those portions.
take out each bag 24 hours before use to thaw. never dont refreeze.
air tight doesnt mean no air.

>>19894011
Frozen stuff still loses its volatile flavor compounds though?

>>19894002
For coffee, yes.

>>19894063
>volatile flavor compounds though
listen mate, you are buying $5/lb "medium roast" bags of coffee from the grocery store.
you aint got much to lose.

>>19894002

erm actually it's a drip machine with a PUMP so the water comes down faster, causing more agitation

>>19895629
I thought it would pour in circles with a motorized spout or at least by varying the pressure at the nozzle, no that would be too expensive, LED lights and a mandatory smartphone app with subscription service probably.

>>19895934
name a single coffee brewer that pours in circles that's actually good. the problem with that is that the flowrate is too low and in stuff like xbloom the stream breaks and doesn't penetrate the bed. the hikaru has the same system as the Samantha which some barista world champs use for testing, no one uses those that on-the-nose imitate pour overs, it just doesn't work for drip coffee

Anything better than a drip machine but less expensive than a Moccamaster to have on hand for having guests over? Need something with like 6 cup capacity probably.

the moccamaster IS a drip machine though. it just depends on what you like in a cup, a v60 and a gooseneck kettle will make better coffee. it depends on how automated you want it to be, mokkapot and french press are good low effort options but the results aren't for everyone, I'd get a french press with a scoop for grounds at the bottom, easy cleanup is a huge feature over time

Did vikings have the mental capacity to brew coffee? They would have just chewed the whole coffee cherry if they even had access to it.

What does /ctg/ order from Starbucks? I'm something of a breakfast sammich aficionado (perhaps even something of a connoisseur) and love their sammiches.

I never know what to order for my coffee though. Today I got a hot venti banilla latte with an extra shot of espresso in it. Not too terrible. The extra shot makes the coffee almost noticeable, but the only part of the coffee that's noticeable is that shitty burnt sewage taste that haunts Starbucks espresso. The vanilla helps kill that a bit, but then it's kinda just like, why am I drinking a coffee I'm trying not to taste?

The machiatos seem like they're just topsy-turvy lattes (wouldn't ordering an upside-down starbucks machiato just be a latte).

The cappuccinos any good? Is there any Starbucks drink that capable of being made well enough that it's good & worth tipping the batista, or should I just keep hitting 0% until they unfuck their beans & I can order a drink that both has a noticeable coffee taste while not tasting like shit?

>>19898213
>Starbucks

>>19898221
There's a hundred good reasons to go to Starbucks & coffee isn't one of them, but it's important to know what to get when you do go for one of those other reasons.

>>19898235
all of those reasons are not exclusive to starbucks

i have never with my own eyes seen the outside or inside of a starbucks.

And it's also dogshit out of the box. The saying goes people who have gaggias love them. People who've had gaggias recognize how much bullshit they went through and don't rec them. It's a better machine, after a couple hundred of upgrades and voided warranty.

8 months and learning to become an engineer later and you might have a decent espresso, but if you had spent the money on good beans instead of new parts you would have had decent coffee to begin with.

I just tried this (cupping method). It was very delicious.

>>19899194
depends on your requirements, for just pure spro, flair 58 costs the same where I live

>>19885656
does anyone else run a double shot of water through a single shot of espresso?

>>19899208
not even close if I'm being real with you chief, them not being 58mm instantly disqualifies them from the most obvious and biggest upgrade you can do on a budget espresso machine.

bros... I cleaned out my electric kettle. It had calcium deposits from hard water. I used CLR bathroom cleaner, rinsed everything out real good. Now my coffee TASTES LIKE SHIT.

Not that big of a deal. I made great espresso on a 40mm flair basket. I make great espresso on a 58mm high flow basket. Going with a taller puck only helps the grinderlets out.

no proven adverse effects

>>19899680
show me a top tier precision basket at 54mm, you can't, they don't exist, it's not about the flow rate it's about the quality of product available in the size.

I buy a fresh pound twice weekly and have them grind it at the cafe. I'm interested in grinding it myself if you or anyanons have a recommendation on a grinder

I'm doxxing myself a bit here but recommending this coffee is worth it: house blend from caffe kilim in Portsmouth NH. It's the best beans in town but they don't roast them there. They contract the roasting to Port city coffee roasters down the street. What's ironic about this is the Kilim blend blows away anything Port City sells. And Port City's cafe sucks dick while Kilim's is iconic.

The answer of someone who doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about

>>19899723
based happy goffee enjoyer

>>19899843
thats not me
but yes the answer is the correct one
my grinder doesnt have numbers on it
its just a dial
i set it to zero(full close) and then went 1 click coarser till i found the the right size, and then used tape to mark out where that is and then mark out a boundary so the moka range is x to y(coarsest before channeling and finest before channeling/choking)
and when i buy new coffee i start at the finest and make a brew at each grind step between x and y and take note of which ones taste the best, and then use those settings for that coffee, repeat for each and every new coffee.
so actually i do know what the fuck im talking about
so unless you are using the exact same grinder as me what setting i have is a worthless thing to say.
do you really think there is some universal grinder setting for moka?
>uhh buh what about measuring the particle size

i think you are lost.

>>19900291
Tard, you cannot call people mokatards if you come up with an obscure number on a grinder and try to make this the eternal standard for all coffee beans and grinders.
Not all grinders are the same and have different steps.
like:
>let it cook for some hours but not too long because then i would call you a ...tard.

>>19900367
I'm not sure why you think burr gap is some obscure number.

>>19900403

>wanted to clean up my K6
>disassembled it just fine
>tried to build it back up
>the upper clip jumped out when I tried to install it
>could not find it anywhere
It's joever

You ever have a shot just fail for no reason you can easily discern? It doesn't happen regularly but every once in a while, like about five minutes ago - I'd pulled a good shot out of the same bag a couple hours ago, same dose, same grind, machine had had the same pre-heat time, same puck prep, same dose, no obvious signs of major channeling in the puck - or big dead spots for that matter - but it presumably channeled because it ran seven seconds faster

>>19900814
Sounds like you two should have duct taped your grinders up. Save your settings, save your clips. Live and learn.

>>19900594
isn't there a spare clip included?

>>19900006
uhh I was recently researching and also asked with no answer. conical burrs produce bimodal grinds while flat burrs produce unimodal grinds which provides a more even extraction but less complex body and more clarity. better for lighter roasts I heard but up to personal preference. conical will produce more fines if you want that for your espresso. flat burrs need a motor so they are all electric beyond apex

>>19900403
Are you dense?
every grinder does it on a different step / adjustment.
You can't just say: "pick step 4, it's the best to make moka!"

A different grinder has this maybe on 5 or 3 or it's without steps and antirely fine adjusted.
I have personally seven grinders at home and each of them is grinding a different way. Most of them don't even have numbered steps, they are fine adjusted.
I have the entire range. Old seventies Braun electrical grinder, italian and and german hand grinders from like 60 years ago and some modern fine adjustable grinder i bought in a designer store five years ago.

Well 75% of the capsules i've tried have been almost undrinkable dogshit. Especially the "intense 12/13 roast" ones. You only ever want ristretto volume, sometimes espresso. The handful of ok-good ones are on the level of a well extracted "expensive" supermarket tier bean(depends where you are i guess) on an entry level super automatic machine. The only pleasure i've had using it has been having a quick decaf ristretto(one of the good capsules surprisingly) after dinner. Also holy shit is it loud as fuck.

>>19901139
You could just have said "a little coarser than for espresso". Nobody asked for a number, autismo

>>19901997
try 3rd wave water

>>19902010
You just don't understand the mind of someone who personally has seven grinders at home, including one he bought at a designer store 5 years ago. You probably never will.

>>19902058
I can't imagine there's a lot of people that make their own water but simultaneously settle for shitty rancid capsule coffee like nespresso

>>19902076
I imagine that's pretty expensive?

>>19902069
>shitty rancid capsule coffee like nespresso
because they don't use 3rd wave water probably.

>>19902085
no, because nespresso is bad and stale and made on bad beans that they mostly roast the fuck out of to mask it, and is just as bad when they don't

>>19902078
Nah, it's reasonably priced. It's this sort of once or twice a year experimental thing my local roaster does where he brings something unusual in, sells it at a tight profit as a sort of loyalty reward for his customers and everyone is happy.

>support your local roaster

>>19902157
>become the local roaster

>>19902174
the thing is, this is like a city that's mostly farmers and consequentially they're all old as fuck. technically there IS a roaster, but because everyone here grew up poor and stupid, there's not even a light roast on the catalogue, because it's not a taste they're used to, but is what I want to drink. so the market is filled it just isn't for me
