Got my wife a midrange espresso maker and she makes us great drinks with it. Usually just have an americano but sometimes a mocha. She knows her shit having worked in a local coffee joint (and still gets an employee discount so we cheap fresh roasted beans which is most of the battle) and its better than most coffee shops in town. Like you can get better shots in town but it's a crapshoot if the barista will actually know what she's doing.

For a cheap price, you can try out the nanopresso with the "barista kit" upgrade. Use the kit's 16g basket, and remove the pressure seal from the portafilter.
It doesn't make "good" espresso, but it's espresso. More so than moka pot or aeropress fake-espresso.
You just can't grind very fine for it, it chokes up pretty easy, so you can't get a good extraction.
Also, don't bother using it without the extra barista kit. It's crap with the included 8g basket.

Or, you could spend $200 on a Flair. Probably the better option.

The size of the machine and the kind of carafe it uses looks like a cheap steam powered "espresso" machine.
If I'm correct, and that machine is only steam powered and has no pump, stop it. That's not espresso. You might as well just use a bialetti moka pot on the stove.

You can't use heat to generate enough pressure to make espresso without also heating the water well past 100C (too hot for making espresso), unless there is some method of cooling the pressurized water in the machine (like the 9Barista).

Can you hear a motor or any kind of loud noise that would be associated with mechanical movement?
I'm having trouble finding info on Krups Mini, because it seems OOP, but the more I look into what I can (looking at a manual right now) I think this is a steam-powered machine. It's probably not making 15-bars like the Krups pump-powered machine does.

>>14838292
espresso is never set and forget. you will constantly be dialing it in. personally I got sick of wasting my time and coffee. it's definitely a hobby of its own. sold my setup to some retired old dude.
however if you mostly drink lattes and don't switch beans all the time you might have less trouble than me.

[Anonymous No.14838357]

>>14838280
Almost anywhere from here is up my friend.
I do agree that REAL espresso is wasteful and difficult. It's more like a hobby. You would need a very expensive machine, and that machine would still be worthless without a very expensive grinder too.

You can't have your shop grind it for you, the process is very sensitive to the grind size and quality, and what works for one roast or one machine won't work for another. This is the process of "dialing-in". Finding the right grind for the kind of coffee you've currently got.

You could still make latte and cappuccino without real espresso though. Your machine is fine for that.
Or you could try a moka pot. That's my preferred way of making easy "espresso" for milk drinks.

[Anonymous No.14838390]

>>14838334
Maybe, I definitely would want to just keep using the beans I like from my fav place, and my variation would come from changing sweetener or milk type. So I don’t know how much I would lose the “true espresso experience” as I’m really illiterate when it comes to coffee.
>>14838313
I did see this recommended on a website, any specific brands I should look at? First guess would be breville, but if I could find one that accepts custom packets as well as the premade pods, that would be nice.
>>14838357
I don’t have the highest standard for espresso, but the shots I’m pulling are NASTY. Mostly burnt tasting, way too bitter or bland. So I doubt my 20 year old machine can keep up

[Anonymous No.14838416]

>>14838390
Can't recommend anything specific, I just bought a used Pixie Clips nespresso machine on craigslist.
It uses the original pods, which I know you can get refillable ones for those.

The newer version, the vertuo pod ones, seem pretty good too, I think there are also refillable pods for those machines as well.

Tbh, I don't think it really matters what make/model/manufacturer you go for. The only technical differences I can find between machines is their looks.

if you don't want to be illiterate anymore you should figure out how to make good, black, brewed coffee first imo. your cuisinart grinder would probably be good enough for that. then think about graduating to espresso, imo.
otherwise yeah just get a nespresso machine I guess.

[Anonymous No.14838476]

>>14838429
>Not espresso
Compared to your home options, it's about as good as you can do without spending thousands of dollars.
My work set up is a slayer 2 and a mahlkong ek43. Nespresso gets close enough to making espresso shots that almost reach the slayer level.
For the avg. person at home, making espresso drinks, nespresso is hard to beat for price and convenience.
If you enjoy the process of dialing in shots and playing around with your extraction, then go ahead and spend the money to buy a proper home set up.
Otherwise save the time and hassle and just buy a nespresso.

Flair is good but still requires a multi-hundred dollar grinder and you still have to dick around to pull decent shots consistently.

[Anonymous No.14838483]

Any advice on how to improve my V60 coffee? I'm using the Hoffman method (grind on a Baratza Encore at 13 setting) and mostly drink medium to light roast. I tried a few different coffees but they all taste pretty watered down. I aim for a brew time of 3:30min. When I go any finer on the grind size I choke the V60 and the pour becomes extremely long (more than 4 minutes). Going coarser gets the drawdown to under 3 minutes which seems too fast. I use filtered water fresh off the boil.

It's definitely not the coffees because I like it when I brew the same beans with my aeropress (16g with 225 grams of water with 30 second bloom and 1 minute brew time, fine grind).

Should I maybe dose higher (35 instead of 30 grams for 500g of water)?

[Anonymous No.14838549]

>>14838476


15.9 in 31 out in 32 seconds. I can probably grind a TOUCH coarser, but for a 1st blind pull on this ethiopian I roasted on 9/28, its great. Rich, balanced, and a distinct fruity sweetness. Little peachy, little bit of toasted coconut. I'll post a pressure graph off the next pull tomorrow morning. Think I'll have a little breakfast cortado. Maybe a cigar too.

nah as long as the coffee grounds didn't end up in the cup it's fine.
I would brew bigger batches in that french press though. you also get more thermal stability with more water. but just make sure to be consistent with the water and coffee weight and brew time and tweak one variable at a time until you get in the ballpark. you'll probably want to mess around with the grind. 1:16 ratio, 4 minute brew, off the boil water, and medium-coarse grind should be a decent starting point.

Get a better grinder so you can grind finer without the fines clogging up your filter. Also use less coffee, 15/250.

Honestly coffee is an inherently fussy drink, so just get what tastes good, who cares what you order! If you’re working a soul crushing job you deserve to drink what you enjoy.

Learn to like black coffee. Otherwise save yourself $5 a day and buy caffeine pills, unironically. 100mg tablet is about equal to a cup of coffee. Buying sugary warm milk for $5 is a complete waste of time and shouldn't be part of anyone's daily routine.
Or buy a nespresso and make your own drinks at home. You'll save money and time.

Your thinking to much. The coffee as long as it spins at an even rate will do the job for you. The fans and putting air and opening and closing vents won't make your coffee better. You need to work on consistancy. Also, if you really want to be a geek faggot, moisture content of your green and temperature of your stack will dramatically affect your roasts. Also stop saying defect you dont know what the word means. A defect is naturally occurring in the bean (like arabicas from Burundi tasting like french fries) not shitty roasting.

I'm using an air roaster so I need to drop the fan to keep the coffee moving at a constant rate. if I don't, the temperature crashes and if I drop it too early, the coffee doesn't agitate well enough at the lower setting and it starts heating inconsistently.
I seem get more consistent roasts and longer maillard phase from ramping up the heat at the beginning instead of blasting it. just what I've noticed so far. still learning how it works.

You extract more of the sweetness/acidity with dosing up and you dont extract as much bitterness because of the coarseness. Just another way to dial in, I still prefer going fine at 6g/100g ratio though, less wasteful. How fine you can go without having too many fines and keeping a uniform grind depends on the quality of your grinder, with shitty grinders it may be better to brew coarse.

So I just tried a natural processed coffee for the first time, I guess. It's a guatemala santa ana natural. Pour over. What the fuck is this? The smell. The taste. Is this "funk". It's not bad by any means, just not something I've ever associated with coffee. Reminds me slightly of a ripe puerh. Quite intense I would say, maybe even overpowering as I can't taste anything other than funk and coffee. I need to spend more time with this and try a few different grind settings.

my roommate has this coffee machine, and its the biggest piece of shit I've ever used. coffee tastes fucking terrible from it, and it seems to dehydrate me more than the same coffee from one of my friend's coffee machines. so I'm looking to buy a better one, definitely under $100, but hopefully more in the $50 range. recs?

It’s hard to find a place that can make an espresso like that, desu.
It takes time to dial in a shot and ensure you keep pulling good shots all day. Unless you’re at a place that really cares, they’re not going to routinely check their shots, measure out the coffee for each shot, ensure it pulls properly, etc etc.
The absolute best coffee I’ve had is the stuff I would make myself before shift when I could dick around and keep pulling shots until I got the best cup that I could. Syrupy, sweetish, right amount of acidity.
Just keep trying different places. If you find somewhere that highlights espresso on their menu, say they show off its origin, roast, etc, chances are it’ll be a good shot.

They make espresso that's better than anything you can get in their price point. The machines are cheap because they're always going on sale, the pods are relatively cheap. You won't get better espresso at home without spending like 5x more than a nespresso.

>>14853411

Still not cheaper than espresso, especially considering you need to spend at least $250 more for a decent grinder.
Nespresso espresso shots are close enough to "real" espresso. This is coming from the same anon that uses a slayer 2 & ek43 at work. Espresso at home is sincerely not worth the investment.

Lido E is $195, Flair Signature is $159. Not cheaper, but it will make you real espresso. Also, someone can probably suggest a cheaper, and/or better grinder.

What about the cost of the capsules?

[Anonymous No.14853838]

Depends on the country. Parts of Europe they can be like $0.30. In the states they can be like $0.60~$0.80.
If you buy non-nespresso brand pods they can be way cheaper in the states, euro-ish prices.

I've been wanting a flair, but that's because I love the entire process of making coffee. For normies and people who just want coffee, Nespresso is a much more realistic option.

Not really a comparison. Having a shit grinder won't give you better grind if you're experienced or smart. Same thing for a shitty espresso machine, it's not going to produce the right pressures, temperatures, etc.
