I just got some new tooty fuckin frooty Ethiopian shit. My God, the even green beans smell insanely frutti. I have never smelled any like this before. I will roast some up tomorrow. I'm not going to even tell you guys what they are because they're gone. The whole lot is gone like a fruity fart in the wind. I will be sure to post about it later so everyone can seethe.

or should you first clean and then descale?

[Anonymous No.14731150]

I would clean the machine first and descale afterwards

I think I have trouble mentally processing the highs. My life has had such low lows–and I love those dearly–that I get fazed when I meet them. This year has been an exceptionally lucky one for me, including coffee. I have no intention of actively trying to drink bad coffee or mediocre coffee, but I'm not so sure I'll be able to avoid regular everyday good coffee and only drink sooper speshul coffee. Do you ever think that that could turn you coffee soft or spoiled, like what seems to happen with other aspects of life? Also got some realllly good Yemeni coffee this year that's almost as good as I remember that kind can be from ages ago before the war. Just reeling here.

I just got out of a rut where I stopped caring and drank nothing but starbucks and preground crap, and learned to enjoy it for what it is. So I don't think good coffee is so good that I couldn't go back to commodity stuff if I had to.
I think a lot of shitty coffee is really just misunderstood, poorly roasted, stale, brewed incorrectly, or consumed thoughtlessly. So when we think a coffee is amazing, probably 80% of that is the care we put into selecting, making and drinking it.

[Anonymous No.14733078]

>>14732828
That's fair. If I were to go out of my way to buy a couple commodity grade beans, thoughtfully blend them, and roast them optimally I could get average to good coffee for a fractional cost. I guess most people don't do that. They go easy/lazy mode or full autism. Really liking the amazing coffee route though. Can't see myself going back easily.

basically this, and just got busy with work and other stuff, so I didn't feel like sourcing and roasting greens or tracking down fresh coffee anymore.

Are you coffee can roaster guy? I have learned that you can lose up to 1/3 of the weight of beans during roasting, depending on level. Interesting stuff. I quickly rolled that info into my cost anaylsis.

[Anonymous No.14733475]

>>14733385
Yeah. I get ~115g out of a 125g roast. Down as little as 107g depending on the density of the bean I guess? I raaaaaaaaarely let my beans hit second crack. I've just been letting them blow around to about 405f and been extremely happy. Light enough for an enjoyable pourover, developed enough to pull great shots. I need to start playing around with designing actual roast profiles instead of heating to a set point tho.

But it is a real thing, i would be happy to accept the argument that while the toxins are present they aren't in significant enough quantities to matter but they are there. They actually infect lots of storage warehouses that hold these kind of raw food goods so they can actually start growing after purchase from the farm.
Like this random article "debunking" it asys yeas it's a thing and they are present but producers are supposed to be testing their coffee and destroying product that doesn't meet standards, but there is no evidence that large producers test their products regularly along their supply chain and I can guarantee that small batch roasters aren't testing at all.

He's talking about programming optimal roasting schedules (including temperature ramps, holds, etc.) which are usually specific to a coffee type or even a specific lot.

[Anonymous No.14734949]

>>14734828
Right now I set a max value my beans are supposed to hit. My control board will flip my heater on and off to regulate this value without overshooting. This is called a Set Value. My set value right now is 405f, so when my bean temperature probe hits 405, the heater cuts off. I can take this a step further by designing a background curve for the roaster to follow. Basically that takes you from a single Set Variable, to a different value every second.

I do. But there are very few of us and we probably aren't appreciated in these threads. For me, I'm pretty into coffee and don't mind investing time and money into it, but when it comes down to it, I often get so depressed and lazy so I end up losing the will to even go buy more coffee when I run out even if I have the tools to make it. So instant coffee is beautiful for me, since it's always around and even if I'm depressed, I can still turn on a kettle and pour.

Recently acquired pic related to try and to my surprise it's really damn good. I enjoy it even more than some of those high end Japanese/Korean brand instant coffees. Something about this one has a much greater body to it(it foams up unlike any other instant I've had) and it doesn't taste like day old coffee.

I've been drinking coffee long enough to tell the difference. Normally I grind finer and finer until the coffee is super bitter and then back off. But I'm not hitting that wall here. The coffee tastes good but it has this undercurrent of lemon or lime like flavor. So I was thinking it was just under extracted. But now realizing how light of a roast it is, i think is just how this coffee is. Actually thinking about it now the coffee almost has the taste of raw rhubarb

Extraction doesn't increase much after a few minutes of steeping unless there is agitation. The liquid near to the surface of the particles of coffee becomes quickly saturated with dissolved solids. Unless there is fresh water brought into contact with the coffee particle, very few new solids will be dissolved.

Coarse grind removes a large portion of the coffee solids from ever being in contact with water. Finer grinds will allow for more solids to be dissolved. This makes the coffee higher in concentration, and can allow for different chemicals to be in concentrations that can overpower others and to change the flavor.

Ratio is obviously important, as it will directly change concentration. As concentration increases, holding water composition constant, acid levels will begin to overwhelm the alkalinity present in the water and become more prominent flavor wise. Our ability to taste is also affected by concentration, where we lose some precision in our ability to taste at higher concentration, some other factors can dominate. There is also the matter of body increasing primarily with concentration as well.

The most important factors are turbulence and surface area, as far as extraction is concerned.

Use more coffee (i.e. lower ratio). If it still tastes bad, it's most likely the coffee is not to your liking to begin with, and you should just get a different coffee.

Sugars in the bean that are caramelized during roasting. I mostly taste it after the initial acid hit and in the aftertaste. It's basically the "coffee flavor". Tasting notes like roasted nuts, cocoa, grains, malt, sugar (obviously) are usually referring to the sweetness.

Boil water and grounds in a stovepot, turn down heat and stir, repeat a couple times. Don't use a narrow pot because it will spill over, use a normal pot like pic related. Fine grounds will soak up the water better and sink to the bottom. Pour off into cup. That's it.

Yes. I have had complex coffees with indescribable meaty flavors in there. I used to find it often enough in dry processed Yemeni coffees. Drinking one this week that smells like a cigar shop humidor; tastes like pumkin, toasted pumpkin seeds, with a mysterious slightly sweet and savory undertone of roasted aged meat/mushrooms. It's pretty mind-blowing, but people will think you're crazy for attempting to describe coffees like that. For some coffees there just aren't words for the complexity.

Very impressive device for the price.

I just recently bought a used Classic and got the pressure gauge - makes the process much easier! I would say the biggest downside in comparison to the Pro is the smaller brewhead which (at least for me and my beans) only tends to fit between 15-18g per shot. But I also do espresso only a few times a week so that works well for me.

Eh those fucks often over extract, especially if it's preground stuff. Ideally you have a grinder and can grind a little coarser than the usual "expresso" grind. Technique is important too, use boiling water, fill the basket up without tamping, medium/medium high heat(preheat if electric), lower the temp once it starts pouring and try to get a steady rapid stream, remove from heat at the first gurgling sound and either cool down the pot with cold water or pour immediately. I like medium roasts in them, sometimes light ones, i'd avoid darker roasts cause they over extract easily.

[Anonymous No.14760135]

>>14759378

What's the difference between cold brew and cold coffee? Can you make coffee normally and then throw that shit in the fridge and add ice later? Work has started doing coffee runs and I've fallen in love with iced coffee with cream. It's something I'd like doing at home.

[Anonymous No.14769753]

>>14769668
You CAN do that. But generally it's done in a larger batch with a medium grind. If you want to do it at home, I'd suggest getting a 1L french press, grind 60g of coffee to medium-coarse, brew it as you would, but stick it in the fridge overnight. Cold brew has a much thicker texture than chilled drip coffee.

Is there a "so you want to make your own coffee, retard?" guide?

[Anonymous No.14769813]

Depends on the coffee you want to brew, what are you planning?

Any good recommendations for a kitchen espresso machine?

[Anonymous No.14769864]

>>14769813
Something to fill up my tumbler before I go to work in the morning. It'd be nice to be able to switch things up and go with iced coffee depending on my mood. As far as type, I generally prefer medium roasts with a little cream.

I mostly just want to get away from using a Keurig like a pleb.

Buy the Melitta 6 cup pour over and follow the instruction booklet.

You could buy a french press. They get a bad wrap, because they are the first port of call for people looking to get "better" at coffee. They can even be used for cold brew to. You'll generally use 6g of coffee for every 100ml of water in a french press.
If you want to be a bit more adventurous, you could look at getting an aeropress. The only downside being that you can only brew about 230ml at a time.

Just moved to Seattle. What roaster to visit? I have Herkimer and Seattle Coffee Works on list. Currently drinking pic related. But its pretty long since the roast date.

[Anonymous No.14771646]

>>14771639
Olympia Coffee in Olympia is probably the best roaster in Washington state, but you should probably continue buying from Pallet and Luna. They probably have a dealer in Seattle.

Just came back from Van in march. There is some damn good coffee in that city.
Pallet, Rooftop, Parallel 49, Timber train and C41 in North Vancouver have great beans.
In terms of the chains, Cafe Artigiano have great decaf beans and Bean around the world have some really good single origin stuff. Barney runs Bean with his son and they've been roasting coffee by hand for nearly 30 years. Try out their Kenyan AA. The bean roastery is down by Phibs Exchange, across the train lines in the industrial estate, you can buy there, online or in one of the chain stores.

If you're looking for something a little more "International" visit Revolver on Cambie Street and Nemisis on Hastings, they're both around the corner from each other, they get beans in from all around the world, have them on special and rotate them every few weeks. There's also a Nemisis in North Van next door to the Quayside market/Seabus terminal.

Hope this helps

Fruity or nutty?

Frutty

Fruity. Nutty notes like almond can indicate staleness setting in.

How do you feel about costa?
I have some tassimo pods for their americano and it tastes like shit unless you put in milk+sugar.

Started off as a barista there in Dublin. The coffee is...alright. A bit over roasted, but they do everything manually and teach their baristas how to grind and dose.
Out of the unholy alliance of shit retail coffee in Ireland, they are the best of the worst.

It could be your machine, just like commercial espresso bars, they too need to be cleaned every now and then. Flush it out every time you use it and try using softer water. You can get descaling agents to clean the insides of the machine too. After that, I suppose the only thing you can do is time the shots and try to introduce some more consistency to each brew.

Stocked up on coffee recently. Got some kaaldi's highlander grog(I don't usually drink flavored coffee but I live in a house full of females & it's the only shit they will drink, it's pretty good though It's the only flavored shit I drink) but now I'm drinking Thomas coffee(local brand of costa rican & columbian caturra) paired with cigarettes & a book(the patrician choice for breakfast). Can't complain RN, I'm comfy & life is breetty good.
