Aeropress really impressed me.
You can get light paper filter smooth tasting coffee from it
You can make a longer coffee and get a nice americano from it by just topping it up 1/3 from the kettle (what I normally do desu)
You can make something approximating almost espresso with thick heavy body (obviously it's nowhere close for espresso purists but desu its much easier than an espresso machine, 80% as good, and I prefer my coffee a little long anyway)
You can make something with the full body and taste of a French press (just lacking the mouth feel from those oils / sludge, which for me is a benefit cos french press fucks my stomach up)

It's pretty much all I use now

It's coffee grounds, with water forced through at pressure. Not as much as an espresso machine, and I'm not claiming it matches it.
But it's a good easy way to make a short coffee

French press, well because you can leave it to steep like a french press if you want with the inverted method. You don't need to though since the pressure kind of speeds things up anyway.

I've not tried it but if you get a reusable metal filter it probably also comes close to matching the mouthfeel of a french press too. But at that point you may as well just use a french press.

I don't know what Maltese coffee is but I can tell you about Turkish.
You can get an ibrik online for pretty cheap or you can just use a small saucepot.
Then you need turkish coffee, if you have a good grinder you can grind it yourself otherwise get it preground. Grocery store grinders say they have a turkish setting, but they suck. The coffee should be a fine powder.
The rest is simple, about 3oz cold clean water in the pot, 2 to 3tbs coffee, sugar to taste (i like 1 sugar cube). medium low heat. when the foam starts to form pour it off into your cup. pot back on the heat. when the foam comes up again pour your coffee.

Some stuff I left out. A standard demitasse cup is 3oz, so thats what i use to measure my water. My measurements are not accurate because its all kind of to taste. If you're making Turkish for multiple people just double or triple the recipe. You can also repeat the pouring off of foam multiple times but eh I don't think its worth it unless you're serving multiple people and you are giving foam to everyone, which is traditional.

Honestly believe burr grinders are a meme. I'd bet good money that 95% of people couldn't even tell the difference between coffee that was ground carefully in a blade grinder vs some several hundred dollar burr grinder.
Even more of a joke is the faggot that gets convinced to get one when the actual beans he's buying are generic blends that have been sitting on a grocery store shelf for weeks. You're just waisting money if you buy grinder that costs more than 10 bucks unless you're buying high quality beans for specific flavors, and you need to control every aspect of the brew to extract those specific compounds.

How do I stop every Aeropress-made brew coming out almost the same?
I've tried dark roasts and supposedly-blond roasts and they're all coming out pretty dark. If I don't put enough coffee in, it doesn't come out tasting strong enough and still looks dark.

How do I time making it properly? Is there a correct method to do this? And yeah I read the method on the Aeropress instructions but they are what gives me a shit result.

[Anonymous No.12844732]

>>12844512
Gonna need some more information before I can really help you chief. What's your brew method? What's your grind size like? Water Temp? that kinda stuff

[Anonymous No.12844742]

>>12844732
I'm using the scoop that comes with the Aeropress, just filling it slightly under capacity.
Brew method, I just boil the water (live in a hard-water area) and then pour it on and let it brew in the Aeropress for about 3 minutes then press it down.
Water temp is basically a few seconds away from being taken off the boil.
The coffee I'm using is the standard shit you buy in stores (like the Starbucks one), I'm not that rich, thats the best I can afford.

[Anonymous No.12844967]

>>12844742
So most of that sounds good, but I'd say the reason is your brew time. 3 minutes is approaching french press territory so thats a bit long for an aeropress imo. I'd also assume you're doing the inverted method given the long brew time? Your coffee is most likely coming out over extracted. This is where grind size will matter, if you're using a coarser grind (think pre-ground drip pot coffee) 3 minutes would be fine, but if you're using finer coffee then you'll want your brew time to be closer to 1-2 minutes.
So my method is this, grind your beans slightly coarser than espresso ground. Then doing the inverted method start your timer when you start pouring the water. Add about half your water and then just let the coffee bloom until the time hits around 30-35 seconds. Then add the rest of your water and wait until 60 seconds, then flip and press. Your press should be nice and slow steady pressure. It should take around 30 seconds to press. Then top up your cup with water. If the brew is still too dark for your taste you can shorten the time or extend it if its too weak.

On another note store bought coffee is perfectly fine, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. BUT Starbucks coffee specifically is bad. They generally tend to burn the crap out of their beans meaning everything but the lightest roasts are way too dark.

A gooseneck really isn't required but it helps. You can do it with a normal kettle if you're careful about your pouring. If all your coffee is flavorless it probably has more to do with your grind or beans. How fresh are your beans? Your grind might be too fine and you're over extracting.

Also I got it open box from Amazon so I only paid $88 and it was brand new, just the carton had been ruined so it came in an unmarked box.

Filters usually don't reduce hardness much if at all, depends on the type of filter. Those that do reduce hardness usually reduce the one you want to keep. Bottled water is not great usually in terms of gh kh. Who knows, maybe your coffee is not good.

Part of me is glad the hurricane is going to graze us, but the other part is mad I don't have a reason to get drunk.

Also got a chance to try ORO freshly grinded. I can see why is well liked. Sweet kinda "fruity" and vaguely floral, and smooth. Also adjusted my typical grind at the store. Instead of just "fine" I moved it so it rests on the line between "fine" and espresso. Came out really nice and even did that bubble thing in that one moka brewing video.

Do what I used to do, and save some money:

Load the water and filter in the maker that night. Measure out your beans and put them in the grinder, and leave them there.

When you wake up, go downstairs, flip the switch on the grinder, wait what, 90 seconds? Then dump your grinds in the coffee maker and hit start. Get int he shower and by the time you are back in the kitchen your coffee is probably done.

This will cost you a lot less than a combo unit, more modular, and really doesn't add much time to your morning.

For a French press definitely stick to a lighter medium roast. You can try like a light or blonde roast but idk if you'll like it (although lighter=more caffeine). Remember, caffeine needs water in your body to metabolize, so the more water you drink with your coffee (Austrian method, look it up), the more you'll feel the effects, and the longer they'll last. My personal favorite is a Columbian, however that mat be to much with the full-bodied taste of a French press. Try an African coffee, like Kenyan, and report back.

When I pre boil the water for my moka pot, I throw some whole cardamon seeds in(not the pods) my mug; about 3-6. I then put in just a little bit of hot water and steep the seeds while I put my moka pot together and brew it. When my moka pot is done brewing, I remove the seeds from my mug and pour in the coffee brew. I recommend starting off with less seeds and adjust as needed.

As for the rose and orange blossom water i put in just a tiny bit. I fill up the bottle caps slightly and add so many drips or drops worth. I prefer to add less flower water, but adjust to your preference.

This is a joke right? With a coarse French press grind you shouldn't be tiring yourself out over 30 grams.

Hit the gold mine of coffee deals a few weeks ago, a psuedo whole foods near me closed down and was selling their bulk coffee for $2.50 a pound. over two trips I ended up with over 20 pounds of delicious bean. About 10 pounds of columbian, 4 of espresso, 3 of french roast and 3 pounds of their custom blend.

Sometimes I drink decaf before bed. Then when I wake up in the morning my piss has that coffee pee smell and I feel like I'm damaging my bladder somehow. It is real in my head.

[Anonymous No.12878114]

the latter.

>what are you drinking
Vietnamese coffee, I really like it for some reason. It tastes so different.
>where is it from
Vietnam originally, my local asian market more specifically
>getting any more
yes.

I also tried civet cat coffee recently and damn it tastes good. Not good enough to justify the price, but really good.

I prefer instant coffee. Am I a heretic?

Yes, but I won't hate you for it. People like different shit, nothing you can do about it. I won't tollerate you talking to impressionable youth about it though.

The best part about drip coffee is that it's an excuse to add sugar and flavors to it

I'd like this clarified; when I first try a store bought coffee the bag usually recommends 2 tablespoons per 6 ounces of water. For whole bean, does this mean ground or whole beans? I'm assuming it's ground but it looks like much less coffee than when following a certain ratio.

[Anonymous No.12878884]

>>12878854
Ground. You should fo by ratios though.

[Anonymous No.12878886]

>>12878884
Yeah, I just like to try the coffee once by their recommendations to see what it's like. Thanks.

Don't measure coffee by volume

Its dank as shit. Toss some grounds in a french press in the evening, fridge, then pull it out in the morning and press it. I love it because its a lot of caffeine and my tired ass doesn't have to put in any effort.

Doubt it. He'll post here incessantly while asking why he can't make good coffee though.
