It only takes, what, six to eight minutes to prep, and brew a v60. Just enjoy it.
I got sent a sample in work from our roaster and decided to get some in. I've fucked around with it on filter for V60 and then on espresso. When it's on milk, tastes like a damn brownie. Wonderful stuff, nice natural sweetness with very little acidity. Got a bag sitting at home too.

I tried something interesting yesterday with my coffee process. I don't own any machines or tools but paper filters and an electric bean grinder. I've tried in-mug submersion and coldbrew, but neither were especially pleasant. I wet a paper filter over my mug, wrapping its sides around the rim of the full mug. After tossing out the waste water, I prepared 20g of freshly ground coffee beans in a coarse grind into the paper filter, and then bloomed it for 30s with 50ml of water at 212F. I did this and added more water progressively as instructed in this video for a V60: https://youtu.be/XlLqJwJHjp0

Effectively, it was pour-over without a dedicated holder of any kind. It came out quite nice in my opinion. Pleasant chocolate notes, mellow but not weak, not too sour or bitter, and had a modestly sweet aftertaste. Was able to repeat this with the same grinds three times before the paper gave in on the 4th. I tried it with almond milk and sweetener once, but I preferred it black. Was nice overall, though it makes me wonder how much better a dedicated V60 would be. Kind of makes me want to get a metal all-in-one.

Also depends what you're after. I used a £100 DeLonghi machine for years. It made ok espresso. Nothing special but if you want to drink average espresso then it was fine. I wasn't really "in to" coffee at that point and it suited my needs.

If you want good espresso, the cheapest way to achieve that is a manual machine and manual grinder. Something like Flair classic is quite cheap. Realistically you want the best grinder you can get. It's worth doing research because a lot of hand grinders aren't designed to grind for espresso. So whilst they might look and be cheap, you probably won't get the outcome you want.

If you don't want manual, then both the grinders and machines get even more expensive. Id probably budget at least £300 for a machine and £200 for a grinder.

I'd like to move away from pods ( yeah, I know ).

However they are extremely convenience (nothing to clean up, not needing to worry about temp control, extraction times, etc ).

What's the best setup for a sloth? French press requires you to clean the multiple metal discs, screen, and container.

V60 is a little less demanding

Aeropress seems to be in between the both of those.


What's the best alternative?

When I did French Press as my everyday coffee before work I would just give everything a quick rinse, most annoying part was getting the grounds out of the beaker. I'd definitely recommend a more thorough cleaning maybe weekly or biweekly. Added advantage is once you've got your recipe figured out, which is pretty simple for French Press, the actual brewing is set and forget as opposed to something with more involved technique and variables.
If you want to get really lazy just brew a big batch of strong cold brew and portion/dilute for the week.

Its hard to say if its better - its just a different drink.

If you want to drink 'good' coffee, the first thing you need is good coffee beans. Preferably fresh, from a local/online roaster. You then need a decent grinder to grind those beans to the level required for however youre trying to brew.

Pod machines are shit. Overpriced, shit coffee. If youre looking to get in to coffee in any meaningful way, id avoid them.

If you want to go really budget espresso then a DeLonghi espresso machine for around £100 is a better option than pods. This at least gives you the option to control what coffee, how much, how its ground. And even if you buy pre ground, its still better than pods.

If you want to go for a decent set up straight away on a budget, then Flair classic + manual grinder that can do espresso will cost about £250-£300.

Anon all those break the bank. Your 3 starters are: French press, Moka pot, and pour-over; listed from easiest to hardest. I'm a cheapskate and grind my beans with store grinders, but you won't get a consistent grind which might be more noticable in the last two. I don't have experience with pour-overs, but moka pot requires a specific grind, and doesn't play well with very light roasts; needs to be at least cinnamon. French press Hoffman method basically works for 90% of coffee and the least amount of fuss. Also good to do coffee spice infusions with(pic related). That or there are coffee snob tier automated drip/pour-over machines around $200 I think. Anything past that is expensive.

Oh for sure, when something says something along the lines of "strawberry cheesecake, or raspberry jam" it just means either strawberry or raspberry, they certainly go over the top, but in my experience lime just means fat acidity, which i could knock out a bit through roasting longer/hotter, but i can never bring myself to buy them haha

Yeah, it was a really good one. The cupping notes didn't sound so great when I bought it, but after roasting some up I was kicking myself for not buying more. Buying coffee is kind of a gamble.

You can alter a coffee's flavor a little bit or a lot during roasting (depending on the coffee). Some are mostly the same, but with varying levels of roast flavor. Some are substantially different coffees between light and medium roasts. It can be really fascinating and nuanced.

I got into it as it's my family business, so i grew into it basically, the setup can be very expensive or reasonable, depends what you roast on, i don't personally know much about the consumer level roasting equipment though, green beans would probably be hard to buy as a retail customer, best bet would probably be contacting a local roaster and asking if you can buy 1kg of greens or something, we have 1 or 2 customers who do that with us

[Anonymous No.16329755]

>>16329704
Oh nice, that must be great. Yeah not too sure about equipment as it's not something I'd bother half-assing. If I was gonna do it I'd wanna do it well so I guess it bears some research. I've got some good contacts in a couple of roasteries so that's a great idea, thanks for the tip

No prob for the tips, i know you can get little electric home roasters, think one is called a genie? Shouldn't be too expensive but I don't really know much about the electric ones, most commercial are gas, which would obviously be more of a pain for home use, you can get small 1kg probats and such, but they're 10k+

[Anonymous No.16330927]

Pulled a few sour/weak espresso shots between two different beans today. I cleaned my grinder last night but I assume that’s the issue because the other variables (shot time, water temp, etc) were all fine. Does this mean I need to clean the burrs more thoroughly, or would it be another issue?

I've been roasting my own for about six months now. I started with a popcorn popper ($20 Nostalgia Pop) that gave surprisingly good results even compared to my favorite roasteries(not quite as good but not too far off). Because of the low investment I'd definitely say a cheap popcorn popper is a good place to dip your toes. I've been using a Behmor 2000AB+ for the past two months and while it gives very good results and has better capacity than most home roasters it's poorly thought in terms of operation so I can't fully reccomend it. As for sourcing beans it's pretty easy and definitely cheaper than roasteries. I know lots of people like Sweet Maria's but I have been ordering from Coffee Bean Corral and I'm impressed with their selection and customer service.

So overall yeah if you're interested in roasting your own it's not too hard and is a great way to try a lot of different varieties and roast levels.

[Anonymous No.16338576]

>>16332334
Yes, but good coffee is good coffee. It's not necessarily a difference in the coffee being objectively 'better.' But there will be noticeable differences in the taste and notes you'll pick up due to the different extraction process. If you're using whole beans, getting your coffee to water ratio correct, and making sure you're using a medium grind -- even a cheap drip machine can produce a very good cup of joe that's worth the beans. I'm not really familiar with the particular brands, but I know there are higher quality drip machines out there worth dropping the money on if that's your thing.

Unless you enjoy drinking caffeinated campfire water, it's not advisable to roast beans over a flame that isn't gas. I've had a couple good charcoal roasted coffees when I was in Japan, but it's something I'd only want to drink once in a blue moon. Also $500 is cheap in the long run since a good home roaster pays for itself in about a year at that price, assuming you weren't buying cheap preground garbage and drinking at least one cup most days.

Good morning Europeans.

Today i am /sipping/ coffee from Lake Kivu, grown around the lake deep, deep in the dark Congo, on an altitude of 1500-2000 meters. According to the text on the packaging it should be "rich of nuances, fresh-sourly, with a fine note of chocolate" which i wouldnt know about since it just tastes like coffee to me.

I think the pressure that builds up helps concentrate the flavour. Its not as much pressure as in a proper espresso machine but it's the same concept. You want to heat the water really slowly and over a small flame. The slower the top chamber fills up the more concentrated the coffee is. If it is sputtering out and bubbling or steaming its too hot.

This isn't true. I suggest you try it. I grind finer, extend the brew time by pouring more slowly, and hold the bloom for 90 seconds. I have been refining this over twenty years. My coffee is neither underextracted nor overextracted. It's just stronger than yours. I care a lot about the taste. This is why I buy really good coffee and roast it exactly how I like it. My coffee makes people weep tears of joy.

Your premise is illogical and silly. How can you possibly get more flavor from a coarser grind and more water? I get it. We make coffee differently. People have different tastes. The idea that other people who make coffee differently than you are wasting coffee is ridiculous. Don't be a fucking snob, whelp.

More water = more extraction = more flavour. I'm saying you can get the same extraction and flavour by changing other variables. Using 45g of coffee every time is unnecessary for this, hence why the other anon inferred that you're wasting coffee.
It's an interesting idea, the extremely low ratio, but you're the one being a fucking snob by insinuating the other anon's coffee was weak, as though your bathtub-moonshine-esque homebrew pourover method is normal, which it absolutely isn't. At that point I don't know why you wouldn't just brew with a different method as it's barely pourover, it sounds a lot closer to an immersion brew so why not use a clever dripper or french press? If you wanna do your own thing great, brew however makes you happy but you look like a wanker pretending it's normal and we're the weird ones for using a more typical method

Are the coffee available at any random supermarket a good starting point for newfags? Or should I try to break the bank and buy some specific type of coffee?

I tried this soluble instant coffee and is just not my thing. On a previous job, they took all the office workers for a breakfast to this fancy place, and the coffee they served was fantastic, but couldn't ask brand or type, so I have no idea. It was sweet, but it had the smell of coffee, strong and sour (?), and the office bathroom smell like that coffee later that afternoon, so I imagine it was a very specific type of coffee beans.

Nooo don't buy supermarket beans. Largely because even if the beans are incredible (not super likely) they'll probably be really old and have lost a lot of flavour.
Find a local café you like, ask what they're brewing with. There's a good chance they stock beans and will be able to grind then for you.
As far as brew methods go, clever dripper, aeropress, or french press are all pretty inexpensive and easy to use. Make sure you tell the barista what equipment you're brewing with so they can grind appropriately

Guys I'm having some difficulties with the areopress.

Everything is coming out either extremely bitter ( because I over steep ) or it's weaker than skim puppy piss.

Coming from a pod system it was consistent coffee every time. These paper filters aren't giving me the full body of the coffee - it's muted.

Any tips? Tried the OG method but the inverted method seems to be the best.

Supermarket beans are a waste of money unless you genuinely hate the taste of coffee and don't care. Even if you go with whole beans from a good brand, they are always many months stale and have lost a lot of true taste outside the rare occasion where a local roaster has partnered with the supermarket. Go direct to a local roaster at first and pay the extra $4 to get a bag of something that's fresh and actually tastes good.

Its mostly going to be consumed at work so beans or anything that needs ground really isn't much of an option, I don't have complicated tastes, I just want basic coffee that doesn't taste like recycled dog shit

Gourmet supreme is a dark roast compared to the original medium roast, so likely very bitter and burnt. All supermarket "dark" roasts are incredibly burnt to the point it will taste like you're drinking bitter ashes. It's bad coffee using the same beans as the original that were just burnt and marketed as "full bodied" and "premium" because they count on the average person not caring or thinking 'darker=better/more sophisticated.' There are definitely good dark roast coffees, but none of them will be found in supermarkets. Stick with the original or a lighter roast like the breakfast blend if you're looking to not torture yourself.

I found my soda addiction wasn't the caffeine or taste, it was the carbonation. Substitute diet soda with bubbly water. I recommend Spindrift, but it's expensive as holy fuck. The generic Target brand is also surprisingly good. As for instant coffee, taster's choice is fine. It tastes and smells like 'coffee flavor' to me, which I don't find bad.
