Going to get some actual work done today so I don't feel like a piece of shit, I've been saying it for days and always let myself down, but this time it's for real.
I'm drinking Eight O'clock coffee, hazelnut flavor but I want to up my game. I make my coffee in a french press, any recommendations on coffees? Also, is getting whole bean and grinding it at home worth it?

Oh btw setting my set variable at 420~ makes my heater band from there, back down to about 385, causing my ror to stall/crash a bit. I can combat that by adjusting my pid parameters, or by actively adjusting that set variable higher when this starts happening. Thoughts?

Really not sure how to remedy that - my setup has pretty minimal programming.

What I would recommend would be to change how you manipulate your heat input. I would recommend programming a slow incline in heat, rather than starting with your heat at a specific place and then adjusting fan around that. I find that high fan speed (mine stays at 100%) helps to reduce the impact of moisture release around FC, as well as to clear smoke and maintain good bean movement.

I would think that adjusting heat input based on ET like you do could lead to quite a lot of other ROR issues that may be less obvious as well.

I know you get good results, so if you don't want to experiment with entirely changing your code I can see that. With that said, I'm very convinced that a smooth declining ROR is paramount - have noticed my coffee improve a ton since I've smoothed it.

>adjusting heat input based on ET

I was running the pid of BT until recently, but a 20 page thread on homeroasters informed me that in a fluid bed, ET is the way to go. These single set temp roasts are only while I'm getting my pid tuned.

>// PID Control Options
>#define PID_CONTROL
>#define PID_CHAN 1 // physical channel for PID input (corresponding to thermocouple inputs T1-T4)
>#define CT 1000 // default cycle time for the PID, in ms
>#define PRO 5.00 // initial proportional parameter
>#define INT 0.15 // initial integral parameter
#define DER 0.00 // initial derivative parameter

Once I get the code dialed in to be able to surf right at a set temp, I can design/save/rerun exact ror curves and the board will manage it automagically.

Wouldn't it be easier to just send commands right to the heating element based on time rather than on heat feedback? My profile is set by time, and gives me nice ROR consistently. If I could program it to go up even more smoothly that would be what I would want. Hopefully your approach gets you to your end goal though, I just think it might be more complicated than necessary - especially with the noisiness of these thermocouples. Looking at the chart (and ignoring the flatness around/after FC) it looks like you have some real rough spots starting around 4 minutes up to FC - maybe try smoothing the big jumps in heat around there?

Looking forward to when you have it all sorted out.

What are your sampling interval, BTdelta, and smoothing settings at?

And for measuring ET, that is what the Ikawa does as well, so you're definitely onto something there. I measure the BT, but I have a 3mm probe that's about 2 inches long that I have horizontally in the bean mass. I have a 15c offset downward in my temp so that FC happens around the right temperature, since the mix of air and bean temp makes it look higher than the bean temp is. I remember that ikawa went with the ET partly because the probes wear with time if they are in the bean mass. I think going into the bean mass is better, as you get a more direct reading.

I'm measuring both et and bt. I'm calculating the values for my heater based on my air temp, not my bean temp. Thats all

>>#define PID_CHAN 1 // physical channel for PID input (corresponding to thermocouple inputs T1-T4)

changes. Supposed to be more consistent. I've got my sampling interval at 1.0, and most other settings default. I've been switching between 1.8 2 and 2.1.2 so finding everything is sliiiiightly different. As for that stall ~4min, I think thats where bumping up my bean mass/dropping fan slightly will help trap a bit more heat while maintaining fluidity, but we'll see. I've gone up to 115g from 100g. Sweet marias says 3oz batch size so I'm 30g up from that already, with a bigger power supply.

The bump around 4 minutes is at the same time as your ET does a big change as well, so I think it's related to that. Increased batches can definitely increase heat retention, but I don't think it will smooth the ROR by a ton ( at least from what I've seen).

Wish I had someone close by to chat roasting with like this. Would be fun to cup the results together.

I can just run my set variable at 460 and dial it back down as the beans approach ~390 and it shouldn't overshoot too far, if any at all. There's a bunch of shit you can do with that tc4+ board, you should probably snag one to play with.

I've been using:
0.5s sampling interval
Oversampling on
0 smoothing for BT and ROR
Smooth spikes is checked, so I can see a less noisy graph after I finish the roast, but during the roast it's as bumpy as the info coming in.
15s ror interval

Lower than 15s ends up being pretty useless because my input is so noisy. 20s works well, but I'm worried it could cover up flaws.

I'm new to coffee (well, technically I've been drinking vedning machine coffee for 15 years) and I'm pretty amazed by the variety of flavours even from just trying out a few different beans and brewing methods. It's like discovering a whole new beverage.

I have a question: what coffee brands/types and what methods are most suitable for making "sour" coffee? Apparently acidity/sourness is something that's not usually desired in coffee, so when I search for it online, I only get suggestions on how to avoid/prevent sourness, not how to achieve it. I've tried sampling coffees from my local roasters that have "citrus/lemon/orange" etc. in their descriptions but this is very hit and miss and doesn't seem to be a good indicator. I also tried underextracting my coffee when making it at home and it kind of works for the sourness but it's not as good as a properly extracted coffee which happens to have a lot of sourness. These coffees exist, I've had them at different cafes before but I haven't been very succesfull at tracking them down...

Wanting sour coffee probably makes me a filthy pleb, but it's just what I like so any hints would be appreciated.

What you want is just high acidity, and you are not alone. This is something a lot of coffee fans end up wanting over time. What you want is light roasted coffee that is wash processed, and from a few specific regions mostly. Try Kenyan coffees. African coffees more generally will have brightness. Coffee from Brazil, mexico, Peru, sumatra likely wont.

You can also adjust your water composition. Lower levels of carbonate buffer will allow more acid to exist. Higher concentration brews will have more acid per part per million of buffer, so can be more acidic, without changing water.

Depends on what you want to highlight. Brew methods are around 90% the same, if you brew to the same extraction. Metal vs paper filtration is the biggest difference. Immersion is more forgiving than percolation. Thicker paper will give lighter body and better clarity.

The best method, in my opinion, for bright coffees is to use the novel espresso method described by Hendon et al. In this method, you use lower pressure, coarser grind, and far less time to produce a very clean, sweet, bright espresso like beverage.

I see.
Does the Hendon method work for coffee and how exactly? I googled this but the articles mostly refered to a method with which Baristas in cafes can reduce the extraction time and the amount of coffe used for making espresso, it seems more like economic than culinary advice to be honest. I don't own an Espresso machine and don't have the budget to get a decent one any time soon.

It does work, yes. I've made quite a few in that style and been pleased. It is not for monetary considerations that it is recommended - in fact, it doesn't really work well with milk I've found. The idea is that typical espresso prep creates a lot of micro-channels, leading to uneven extraction. By grinding coarser, reducing pressure, and reducing dose, you present less resistance to the flow of water, creating fewer channels and less turbulence. It's not something I would recommend buying expensive equipment at home for.

You're probably fine with your aeropress, but if you really want a brewer, check out the blue bottle dripper.

Just to be sure, do you have an espresso machine? That technique is only for espresso. But just in case you do:
6 bar pressure
15g in an 18g vst basket
10second extraction
You'll have to find what grind gets you to that range of extraction time and then dial around to get a good tasting extraction.

I dont see how I'm entirely wrong. As another anon mentioned, paper filters affect the body and clarity. Last I checked brewing coffee with a paper filter helps reduce the acid level if only by a little bit. Considering most of the other brewers you have can brew stronger, thicker brews, I'd go with a pour over cone. I've seen people have decent luck with even the cheap non brand stainless steel ones, but pick which style or brand you want after research. Plus if you get a cone you'll have the holy trinity of brewers(press, moka, and cone).

Nothing about the filter will reduce acid. In fact, if anything, the lighter body and cleaner flavor may serve to increase the perception of acid.

The one issue I have is with his choice to have cupping be coarser than FP. The reason I would go finer for cupping is because of the extra heat loss due to smaller brew volumes and a lack of lid.

Well, since more acidity is actually what I'm looking for, according to the original statement, I should probably avoid paper filters and go for metal filters instead. Since there seems to be some debate over wether they reduce or increase acidity I'll just order a metal filter for my Aeropress and report back with results in the next thread.

I posted it..been using it for a few days now. Coffee was a very welcome change from Moka. I've been using a proper espresso grinder and machine for years but they're stuck in storage now, so this was the best I could do that wasn't a Moka pot, which I was honestly tired of.

Like >>13969530 said, it works the same way as a moka pot but there's a couple of handy advantages.

1. It reaches a higher pressure and it's way easier to preheat it and get that pressure up.
2. It has a handle that controls the flow and between this and your stove temp. you can fine-tune your game quite a lot.
3. It's much simpler to clean and maintain than a moka.

Negatives:

1. The "portafilter" only takes 7-8g of coffee at a time so you can only really make a single shot espresso, no doubles.
2. If you use proper 100% arabica and not crappy robusta heavy mixes, you won't get the masses of foamy "crema" the guy gets in the videos but you still get something.

I got this half-price from what it normally is as they're running a sale now and for that price I'm extremely happy with what I got. If I had to explain the taste of the coffee, it's literally halfway between moka and espresso and I'm guessing that's because it's halfway in terms of the pressure it reaches.

TL;DR If you're looking for a proper "espresso", this won't satisfy you there's only one true stovetop espresso machine (i.e. goes to 9bar +) and it costs 300 bucks (Bacchi). If you're looking for an upgrade from the moka pot, which is even less hassle and couldn't be bothered with the full espresso kit set-up this is for you.

Yes it does, it's also extremely simple as a machine, took me an evening to figure out my preferred "settings".

Nespresso capsules are probably the most expensive way of making really mediocre coffee, so if anything it makes you a frivolous spender. You could probably achieve better results with a 8$ French Press and cheap, pre-ground supermarket coffee.
However, I have to admit that the capsules look super effay so the best course of action is probably to put them on display in your kitchen or living room and serve Nespresso to your female guests.

Do you have a kettle or water heater with a thermometer? Brew two cups of coffee, identical amount, identical method, one cup with below optimal temperature and one above. The first cup should be under-extracted, the second over-extracted. Memorize the flavours. Wa la, you can now identify extraction levels by taste.

Has anyone here tried to make a coffee liquor? I can't buy a decent one around me so I thought I'd make one. Most recipes call for coffee (cold brew or hot that's been left to cool) and either vodka or rum, plus syrup. My question is, could I steep the coffee in vodka to cold brew it? What kind of difference would there be, besides the higher proof?

Standard for quick infusions in the bar industry is a cream whipper. You kind of want to make coffee liqueurs "to order" as the oils will go rancid over time. Don't make more than about a half liter unless you plan on just downing it all. In that case, make a pourover and just drink your vodka.

I used a FreshRoast 540. Tried a different method than last because my roast consistency wasn't uniform last time:

F9P9 for 3 minutes
F8P9 for 1 minute 30 seconds
F7P9 for 1 minute
Cool for 3

First crack started about 3:30

I've bought beans from amazon before and the coffee tasted just as good as the stuff I could get at the cafe. I bought local beans once and they were worse than what I bought off amazon. Is this like the wine thing where people get all high-nosed about taste-profiles and whatever when really they themselves can't even tell the difference between the drinks?

Much too fast. Likely underdeveloped. Can't tell shit from a picture of roasted beans btw - doesn't give any insight into the quality of the roast, barely gives info regarding roast degree.

Try to hit first crack at 6 minutes, slowly ramp up the heat until 4 minutes, then drop a minute after fc starts. Leave the fan mostly alone, maybe decline by 20% total over the duration. That should get you a decent lighter roast, but not crazy light.

Somewhat. But it's moreso that most roasters are clueless about their craft, and routinely roast too dark and introduce other roast taints into the coffee as well.

For instance, there is a local roaster here that has been in business for 30 years, and does a lot of volume for our city size. They have good reviews and people leave comments like "best coffee evar" on their social media pages. Their coffee is downright insultingly bad. I cupped one of their "lighter" blends for the first time in a while this week. I cupped it next to a coffee that I took to medium roast level, which is quite dark for me. Theirs was not just roasty, but it was also totally devoid of anything pleasant. Totally flat, no acidity, no vibrance, no flavor but cardboard and ash. But they are a well liked (by some at least) local roaster. If you didn't know better, you'd expect their coffee to be good. Local doesn't mean quality, it means you don't have to pay shipping.

>Variance in roast
And how would that happen?
When roasters talk about an "even" roast, they mean that the outside is the same roast degree as the inside of a bean - not between beans. Color variation between beans in the same batch is not likely due to a roasting issue, but rather something with the green coffee such as ripeness, quakers, size variation, etc. Roasting very fast may accentuate these variations.

what's the point of using your aeropress inverted

is it really just being anal about the water that drips into your cup before you press using the regular method?

if you just remove that pre-press drip and use a fresh mug when you press, is it otherwise basically the same as the inverted method?

basically i bought a prismo and i'm wondering if there's any reason for me to do the inverted method and not use my prismo when i'm brewing regular (not fauxpresso) coffee

It allows full immersion of all the coffee and water for whatever time length you want. Non-inverted will allow some water to escape. You can use the plunger to stop the flow for the most part, but you'll lose some. Inverted just makes it neater and easier, without any downside. So, why not?

You can clean your ROR up by increasing the delta interval, maybe try 20s and putting more smoothing on. But the graph I posted is 15s no smoothing, and you can see how jittery the bean probe reading is, so it's likely that your ROR reading is showing you some issues to address.

Barista here, out of all the non dairy alternatives oat milk is undoubtedly the best. Almondmilk is way too foamy when steamed, coconut milk is just watery as hell, and soy milk is also very foamy. Oat milk is the only nondairy that’s actually creamy and you can get a nice head of foam on without all of it turning to foamy goop.

I have 300g of Kenyan rehydrating on the counter right now. I don't have a way to measure its humidity, so I assumed 11%. I started with 283g green coffee, and added 17g to get to 16% hydration.

Hoping that this plus my new smoother ROR will give some good results. I cupped my batches from yesterday earlier today. The one posted in this thread turned out very well. I had become used to my previous roast defects. The coffees were still pretty dang good, but this one is so clean it made me ashamed to have been roasting with my previous profile.

It's the First World countries with their stupid desire to drink useless coffee are forcing them to grow coffee and to clear cut the rain forests
and to use tons and tons of harsh chemicals on coffee bushes.

So stoping drinking coffee and supporting expansion of coffee industry is the first and very simple step.
Yes, meat eating too needs to be addressed, but stoping eating meat is not as simple as you might think.
There were millions of vegetarians who ruined their health by abstaining from eating meat even tho majority of them were eating very balanced vegetarian diet.
Stoping eating meat for many people is not as simple as stoping drinking coffee.
Modest consumption of meat is in many cases extremely needed for human body to function properly.
But what type of meat and quality of it is another issue.

It was very simple for me to stop eating meat by purchasing a $20 grow your own oyster mushroom kit and using that to inoculate a large tub. If you think stopping meat consumption is more difficult than occasionally spraying water on mycellium, you may be retarded, in which case, we don't need to be wasting precious commodities on the likes of you.

Retard, eating meat is not about saving space you need to grow oyster mushrooms.
It's about specific nutrients that only mean can provide. And for some people this is very essential to stay healthy.
There were thousand of cases when very well educated in nutrition vegetarians very badly damaged their health by lacking nutrients that only meat can provide for human body.
And when they started consuming (modest amounts) of quality meat their health improved drastically.
Lot's of very well documented cases as such.

I got a question.
So I hear so much about the different flavors coffee can have and I'm interested deeply in it. Problem is that my bitter sensitivity is through the fucking roof and almost every type of coffee I've had, which mind you hasn't been the good shit, just tastes like bitter beans juice. On top of that, anything over 120° F will burn my tongue and I won't be able to taste anything for the rest of the day. Do any of you have a remedy for this shit?

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 28 23:01:17 2020 No.14002381 >>14002364 Sounds like your only real options are cold brew and Japanese "cold" brew. You're not going to get the sort of rich nutty flavors I might enjoy in my coffee, but you're not going to get bitter bean juice either.
