there's a girl i have been crushing on for like five years who's psycho into coffee, more than me and i'm so afraid to invite her out for a cup because she'd be a snob over my choice like i would be

also im drinking a lot of french press/espresso

Fell for the nice coffee meme a few months ago. Now have a hand grinder, french press and buy locally roasted coffee. It tastes better than Folger's obviously but I'm not really able to tell the difference between the three that I've tried so far. They have different flavor notes but taste nearly identical to me. I make sure to not let it steep for more than a few minutes so I'm fairly positive I'm not letting it get bitter. Did I get meme'd or am I a tastelet?

The caffeine crashes are becoming too much for me, bros.
I've been drinking coffee for a little over a decade now, and it's catching up to me.
Every day at the same time, I feel the crash coming on and I'm lethargic for hours until the caffeine's completely out of me.

It blows, I love everything else about coffee.
The preparation, the lovely smell, how you can customize the taste to your liking by keeping it black, adding milk and sugar, etc..
I'm not gonna make it.

I still don't know how to make good cuppa' coffee with a moka pot. I read hours about different methods, tried everything, from the amount of coffee, to grinding my own fresh coffee (tried coarse and fine ground), different extracting speeds, nothing helped.

using store bought grounds won't work. its too fine and will taste like burnt ass. you need a rough grind. also don't turn up the heat too much or the metal will overheat and scald the grind. use boiling water to minimise time spent on the hob.

I have been living with just a moka pot and bellman steamer for milk drinks for about a year already, but I feel like I should make the next jump soon. If I only ever make coffee for myself, the best budget option would be the flair + pressure guage, right? I already have an m47 so I don't think I need to spend on a better grinder yet.

[Anonymous No.15650767]

>>15650733
Yes, flair is a great way to get into making real espresso. And yeah, you'll need a pressure gauge for accuracy. I thought I was using enough force to push the lever, but when I finally got a gauge I realised I was nowhere near 9 bars. Had to use nearly all my soyboy strength to even make it to 9 bars.

I can't explain it but your post gave me a striking vision of a /ck/ coffee monastery/cult that attaches coffee brewing to some random religious principles.
It'd be located somewhere like Texas, where there's a lot of religious freedom and good climate for outdoor coffee roasting and grinding. You'll have an incredible relationship with the local farmers as farmers fucking love coffee.
You'll eventually become the figurehead of it, and give the following quotes in your Vice interview
>"sometimes you get to brew, sometimes grind, sometimes you get to roast, and sometimes you get to air out the smoke or sweep up the chaff... It's a lot like life if you think about it"
>"I'm aware of the cult accusations, but where can you go in life that isn't a cult anymore? We brew coffee as a cult, Twitter cancels people as a cult, Congress Republicans act supremely ineffectively as a cult"
>"I really wish you could've met TimAnon during your visit, but he's currently in caffisolation for another week. It's very similar to traditional isolation in monasteries but he roasts, grinds, brews, and drinks a cup of our famous diesel brew every hour for 10 hours every day"

You often do end up inferring greater truths in life through contemplation of necessary activities. Coffee roasting makes me think about time and the cost of things. Everyone's life is so specialized and compartmentalized now, but are they any happier for it? It pervades the very fabric of our thoughts. I gave my family some roasted coffee for Christmas last year and the first thing they started talking about was roasting coffee as a business. Can we no longer allow ourselves to enjoy the process of living?

I have a post-mil. The 51mm basket can do 16g->32g no problem, 17 as well.

Not that familiar with pre-mils, but from what I understand there were various small design iterations that means some years are shitty and some are tanks.

[Anonymous No.15660042]

But to get a 2:1 ratio from the doubleshot basket, you're going to need to lift up the lever part-way through the pull and let more water into the piston. I still get great shots doing that, but it means you aren't recreating the idealized pressure curve that you could create with a pressure-profiling semiauto. But those are mad expensive and I don't want to deal with the upkeep and maintenance. The la pav is a tank and perfect for my 1-2 midday pick-me-up shots. I wouldn't trade it for anything else

So the issue with your skerton knockoff is its got shit burrs(and poor alignment). You can spend a bit more and get an encore(which will be aligned poorly until you jam aluminum shim under the upper burr), but you've got to realize alot of the cost is going toward the motor/gearing/wiring. Spending money on that means you've got less to spend on burrs. With a "premium" hand grinder, most of them have a similar body. Its going to be a metal tube with a handle. Lets them spend significantly more on the burr set. I'd rec spending more than timemore c2 desu.

What a retard. You get tar and other stuff with cigarettes with filter. You won't get the oils with coffee filters.

Remember kids, different things are different. Analogies are not an argument because different things consist of different variables.

You don't inhale coffee. You don't get tar from coffee. You don't get carbon monoxide from coffee. Lungs are not a stomach. Oils stay in the paper filter. You inhale the tar, carbon monoxide from a cigarette. You don't even suck the coffee filter.

Anyone have a Niche Zero? Thoughts?

Snagged one on today's preorder drop. Plan to put my Baratza Forte on filter coffee duty only. Tired of how finnicky unimodal flat burrs are for espresso and hoping the conicals will be easier to keep dialed in.

[Anonymous No.15666120]

>>15665978
I do. Great grinder, relatively quiet, ease of use/cleaning the burrs is exceptionally easy. I 'dial in' using a 9Barista and I'm in the ballpark after 2 shots and adjust as necessary. My only reservation is that it's a 2-man team - outside of the machine being assembled and shipped from Taiwan to the UK. If anything happens to Martin (the father in the father-son operation), and you need a repair, you'd probably be out of luck.

Any ones to look out for? I was thinking about a Lagom P64 and just having one grinder, but I grind 60g for a liter of filter, and it'll be a bitch to load the hopper twice just to get one batch. I figured selling the Niche and Forte will put me 80% of the way to buying one if I want it. But they're as hard to snag as the Niche right now?

If there's an even better option launching I want in on it.

G-Iota/DF64/Solo/Coffee Essentials 64 mm flat burr grinder. Depends on your location - Ali Express sell it I believe.

Alright coffee frens, I am a total normie when it comes to my coffee but I want to be better. I have a basic ass drip brewer from target and I use folgers black silk coffee most days. Is there a pastebin or something where I can start to de-normify my coffee setup?

[Anonymous No.15666608]

What's your budget fren

Coffee can take you from $5 dripper to $2000 espresso machine pretty fast

Step 1: Get some fresh good beans. Find a local roaster or a shop/cafe that sells their stuff. They can grind them for you if you tell them how you're planning to brew it (e.g. in your drip brewer)

A blend is fine. Shoot for something light or medium. Coffees from a single origin are fun adventures because they each taste slightly different, but you'll have to go deeper to experience those nuances

[Anonymous No.15666664]

>>15666516
>>15666608

Scrap the drip for something better. Decide what you want.

The easiest thing you can possibly do after that to get a dope cup of coffee at home is get an Aeropress. It's foolproof and you don't need anything else than that. You can boil water in a microwave if you don't have a way to heat it before using the Aeropress. Congrats, you're now drinking coffee that's better than what any normie drinks.

Do you want drip coffee but better? Get a pourover cone. A plastic Hario V60 is a few bucks and great. If there's a knockoff of that at Target it'll do for now. Then get a kettle. A cheapo one is fine, but a "gooseneck" one will give you control and let you make the best cup. YouTube will tell you how to do use these.

If want oily sedimenty coffee, get a french press. They're all the same, get a cheap one.

There's other niches to explore too, but I would start with one of those first two.

buy a half gallon pitcher and make cold brew
put half a cup of coffee in two quarts of warm water and let sit for 24 hours. stir it once or twice if you can.
then strain it through paper towels in a reusable coffee filter into another pitcher.
you can adjust the amount of coffee if you want it stronger or weaker.

Stage 2: Get a grinder so you can buy whole bean instead. A shitty whirly-blade grinder isn't worth it--you're better off getting your coffee uniformly ground at the shop and having it be a little stale than trying to deal with a blade grinder. You need a burr grinder.

The cheapest halfway decent hand grinder is probably a Hario Skerton for like $35. Unless you enjoy the whole ritual of making coffee, hand grinding is a pain in the ass. The next best entry level option is snag a used/refurb Baratza Encore for sub-100.

Cold brew is a good place to start if you can't get decent beans. You can use preground crap and it'll be pretty close to some hooty tooty fancy beans.

Thanks you guys, I'll look into the Aeropress and Baratza Encore. I have a somewhat decent budget, probably about $400 or so. I think I've been through a new drip coffee pot every 8 months or so for the past 5 years so if I had just gotten a good setup when I moved out I'd have probably saved money in the long run. I'll also look around for a local roaster, I bet that will take it to a whole 'nother level just by itself.

If you want a drip pot that doesn't crap out every few years, invest in a Moccamaster. I've had mine for around 5 years with no signs of wear and they last decades. Aeropress might feel like a pain if you need to make a bunch back to back. Pourovers and shit are fun ways to get rewarded for being anal, but if you just want good coffee in the morning with no work, then you can't beat a Moccamaster.

>>15666860
Not really, as long as the grind is coarse enough and you have a filter fine enough to strain it. Super fine grinds will either clog the filter or seep through. Cold brew tastes mostly the same regardless of bean.

[Anonymous No.15667081]

If you're brewing more than two cups in the morning I'd jump past the Aeropress and get the Moccamaster, just because it'll be a pain to repeatedly make single cups. We're in the same boat, so even though I have a bunch of espresso/pourover/aeropress/etc gear to fuck around with, we start work mornings with a drip pot. I fuck around with the other stuff when time permits. If you decide you like it as a hobby you can pick up the other toys and still have the Moccamaster for busy days. If you decide you just want to do the bare minimum for a good cup of coffee, you'd get pissed off at the routine from pretty much any other method anyways.

I didn't know anon's budget yet and wanted to set an budgetary floor for when he should just have the coffee ground for him instead of using a home grinder.

Sounds like anon is brewing for 2 and is used to drinking coffee as fuel. If you want to recommend that that he pay for the privilege of jerking a hand grinder for 3 minutes to get 75 grams for a full pot, then take responsibility for when his wife leaves him and takes the kid. He'll have plenty of time to strengthen his right arm then.

What makes a coffee Columbian or Indonesian? What makes a coffee from a specific country is what I’m asking. Is it the discovery of it or where the company grows it?
