Since its officially pumpkin season, I'll go ahead and post my favorite pumpkin recipe. I make the puree mix and add it to teas and coffee. As usual the recipe is at the bottom of the post.

Pro tip: it works best in lighter coffees; try a breakfast roast.

Do you guys roast your own beans? Just got a grinder and a french press really cheap and I'm having the time of my life with pre-roast/fresh-grounded coffee beans.

It's amazing how this stuff's so much better than "gourmet" pre-grounded market coffee. Feels like I have my own little coffee shop with GOAT drinks.

Anyone /espresso/ here? I’ve had a DeLonghi Dedica that seems to always make bitter coffee with thin crema no matter how much coffee I try packing in, how much or little water to use, and how much I preheat the tank by dry running water through it. What am I doing wrong?

I’ve tried fresh roasted beans, storebought quality beans, and Illy preground. I’ve gotten one or two truly delicious cups from it, but most of the time I can’t tell if I’m doing something wrong or if this is just too cheap to make good espresso.

Can anyone give me some detailed advice on how to make good espresso with a DeLonghi Dedica (or the best I can achieve given the big limitations)?
I’ll be getting a Gaggia soon but until then, I’m having a hard time getting something good out of this. I can’t seem to fit more than 11-12g in a double basket, and then pulling ~60g of espresso from it comes out incredibly fast, like in 20 seconds.
Most of my espresso tastes sour and bitter. I’ve gotten one sweet shot but it feels like random chance at this point.

I got a gaggia this week and holy shit, I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing wrong but I can’t pull anything worth a damn. A double shot comes out in about 10 seconds. I get no crema. It’s bitter but mostly sour.
I measured out 15g of coffee ground pretty fine, a bit more fine than table sugar.
I think the tamper I’m using is pretty shit, it’s a little too small so it leaves coffee on the walls, and coffee sticks to it (everything is dry). The puck was loose, damp, and rough on the surface.
Besides a better tamp, which I just ordered, any other suggestions?

Gaggia update: I’m getting a solid puck and good crema now. Coffee still comes out pretty quickly, though I’m not sure if I should be timing 30 seconds from the switch on, or the first drop of espresso. It also tastes incredibly sour, even though I’ve moved up to a 3:1 ratio, which I’ve read is more of the Italian style.
Is my grind not fine enough? I’m grinding as fine as my grinder goes and it still isn’t choking. I haven’t seen espresso grind in person so I’m not sure what to expect. Or maybe the issue is still the ~14 bar pressure it’s preset to.

Well I fucked up and timed everything, weighed , then slammed the shot without taking a pic.... Here's the second one I just pulled. I adjusted 3 "ticks" finer so 0.03mm closer on the burrs. those .03mm completely changed the taste, and I could honestly go a touch finer. Zero bitterness or astringency in this shot, deep cocoa notes, but not quite as sweet as I remember having it last. Still delicious tho. 17g in, 34g out, 2bar preinfusion until the puck starts flowing, then ~45 seconds at 8+ bar finishing at 10.

Thanks, I’ll be looking into this more. In more positive news, I took apart my grinder, thoroughly cleaned it and made sure all the parts were fitting together snug, and then ground at the finest grind again. The powdery dose blocked up my Gaggia! I adjusted by three clicks and got something drinkable from a dose of 15g. It came out too slow, about 40 seconds, but wasn’t that bitter. I’ll need to keep adjusting but this is the first drinkable shot I’ve managed to pull so far!
I still want to upgrade to get something with more adjustment in the espresso range, but it’s nice to see I’ll be able to at least drink something until I can make the purchase.

Glad you're starting to make a little progress! But yeah, you'll be astounded at the variability of 'fine' you'll get with a top tier hand grinder.

I’ve already gotten what I think was a “perfect” shot, ironically with my Dedica. Somehow I got one shot that tasted like honey, with a sugar cookie aftertaste. It was my first time realising espresso actually COULD be sweet. Absolutely zero bitterness. I never was able to reproduce anything close to it. That was even using storebought beans. So now I’m already chasing that dragon.

I used to homeroast, but back then I typically made pour-over or siphon coffee. Beans do make a great gift, but it breaks my heart when people want me to pre-grind for them. What kind of beans do you like to use with espresso, or do you use blends?

I like trying different varietals too, I don’t tie myself down to one.

I bought pic related yesterday because it was on offer. Tastes fine I guess although definitely doesn't give you that distinctive sweet African coffee flavour that you would get with proper fresh coffee.

I drink instant on the daily though, it's just quicker and easier. Freshly ground coffee is great and I'll buy it when I'm out. And on a weekend I sometimes brew up some ground coffee in my french press. But for daily purposes, I use instant, because I cannot be fucked to thoroughly wash out my french press every morning.

I try and get a different type of instant each time to try different ones. Nescafe do this one called Azera which is very fine, almost like dust, and apparently it has actual coffee grounds in there, although I'm not sure about that. It's pretty good. But yeah I just try a different one each time because why not.

I did have eggnog latte around Christmas time though, and it was tasty. Weird but tasty. And obviously it's not exactly proper coffee, it's not a drink to have if you want to taste the coffee. But it was pretty tasty. I've never even had real eggnog because we don't really have it in Britain, it's an American thing really.

Hey, I’m actually heavily leaning towards the m47, I just had a question about it. If you switch back and forth between coarser and finer grinds (I mostly make espresso and siphon coffee), how do you calibrate it? The m47 just has a ring with measurements for every click, but I assume to go that far, you’d need to really spin it around a bit. Is it a trial and error gamble every time you make a big adjustment?

You're going to zero your burrs out and note where it lands. Then you note every time you get back to zero. So my starting point for espresso is like 2.4, so I go 2 full rotations to 0, then to the number 4. For my cold brew I'm at like a 5.0 so from 2.4 I rotate counterclockwise to 0, 3 more times.

The only thing I bitch about is its a tiny bit staticy and I never flick in drops of water to alleviate it. I just scrape the catch cup on the bottom and everything falls down, but we're talking about 100ths of grams here. Toolless disassembly for cleaning, everything feels extremely solid(even with the abs on the cheaper phoenix). Zero burr drift at all, you can really lock in the top screw. I figure the only way its going to break is if I drop it repeatedly, but then I'll just bitch at their customer service until they knock $200 off their big tabletop grinder.

Hmm, thanks, that seems fairly insignificant for shortcomings, everything about it sounds really good!! Have you heard about the Apollo? It seems to be getting good reviews, sounds like it improves on the design of the m47, and it’s a bit cheaper. The notable difference for me is that you can adjust the grind setting without loosening the top screw, but I don’t know what the grind range is for it or how big each step is.

Solid plan, I might do the same someday.

I’ve plugged my Dedica back in until I get a grinder worth a damn, I haven’t been able to get drinkable out of the Gaggia with my Infinity grinder. Just had a shot from the Dedica and it was the best cup I’ve drank all week...

Original, Traveler, and Phoenix all use the same burrs. T and P are both ~200 from prima. I think the only difference between the big daddy and the lower two is stainless steel spokes and "feed ring", the thumb stop, and a magnetic catch cup. If you do get the $370 one I'm confident you could beat a few people to death with it and it would be fine.

Aeropress is literally the easiest single-dose coffee to make and almost impossible to fuck up. You can buy preground from the store and it’ll taste half-decent. Are you grinding to espresso powder or something?
I do like my Aeropress, it makes a clean and smooth cup, but it feels the least interesting of all my coffee making devices. It’s simple and inoffensive but nothing really stands out.

I ordered some fresh roasted Yirgacheffe and don't really care for it. I like coffee with more acidity but it tasted flatter than my local coffee shop brand. Trying a longer steep and finer grind in my aeropress but there's only so much I can do here.

Not him, but he's probably coming from a drip. I did the same recently. While the aeropress is easy to use, the pain in the ass comes from trying to find the right grind and steep time every time you get a new coffee. It is worth it but takes time and some experience. Drip is just push a button and you get what you get, if it is shit blame the coffee.

The "press" doesn't do anything, there's not enough pressure to extract anything more than the water already has. It's an infusion brewer. You can make the exact same cup by tossing your grounds into a mug with 6oz of water, stirring, and straining. $30 meme hardware. Buy a knockoff kalita wave or something instead.

I always thought of the aeropress as a kind of mix between the french press and V60, the press just forces it through the paper filter. But you’re right, you can buy a French press and a v60 together for even less money.

Yeah, I cant stand all the bitter stuff marketed at us. Light or Med for me, dont like dark roast.

So Ive been in the process of moving, and avoided buying more coffee for a couple weeks before the move because thats more stuff to pack and carry. Been going to Dunkin everyday.

Now that im back to brewing it myself, like the other anon said it feels less powerful.

Anyhow I do have a grinder but dont use it often, just seems easier to usually buy preground, just have a regular filtered coffee machine.

I used to buy Zabars but they are jewish and I wish to boycott them, settled for amazon "just bright" and whatever the regular kind is. And occasionally I would pick up some local stuff but the prices were really high.
