Been trying out a couple coffee store chains in the bay area, mostly focusing on espresso. I kept my expectations low, so I ended up pleasantly surprised overall.
>Peet's: subpar, out of 3 locations 1 had people that knew what the hell they were doing
>Joe & the Juice: decent for what it was, good enough for a quick breakfast, seemed more consistent across locations
>Blue Bottle: the only chain where I was offered a selection of roasts, even though it was "blend" versus "single estate" (not further specified). It's okay but the roasts weren't quite my taste.
>I do not intend to set foot into a Starcucks again, but I doubt the experience would be any less traumatic the second time. I don't think I finished the cup without spitting.

Trying out a new coffee this morning! It's a Yirgacheffe, which I've never roasted before. This one is much nicer than any yirgacheffes I've ever tried from local roasters in the past.
Dry smell: indistinguishable florals
Wet smell: Wow–jasmine blossoms and sugar cane!
Taste: Holy shit this one is sweet. Maybe the sweetest coffee I've ever had. Tastes exactly like light brown rock candy sugar crystals, just a hint of vanilla and a lovely little lemony acidity at the end and in the aftertaste. So sweet, so smooth. The green has some defect beans. I picked out about 10 mutants in a half pound batch. Very nice coffee. Glad I got some.

M'current bag I'm working through was roasted back in 9/2. Absolutely no fucking aroma, not from the beans, not from when I grind it, and not even in the brewed bag. Supposedly Colombian arabica.
I've got a different bag, that came with my with the grinder I just ordered, it has nothing written on it yet and yet even unopened it has good strong smells.
Maybe recent roast date isn't always good?

No, but you would need to either see it bagged at the roastery or have some insight into when it was done. Or just not care about age like 99% of coffee drinkers. Buying local from small roasters is usually a good bet since they can move their entire stock within 2 months and have new ready to go.

[Anonymous No.17504788]

>>17504783
Yeah it is a small local roaster. Whenever I come they offer free tastings too. Maybe it's just a bad batch? It was that month's discount at half price.

Yeah, sometimes the beans can be bad to start with or get over/under roasted. This sounds like a case of "help me move this quickly expiring stock" if he was doing half off.

Don't know what the other anon's problem was, but yes, going to a "craft" roaster is a better way to make sure the coffee you buy is fresh and still tastes like something when you go to brew it. Most will grind it for you at the shop if you don't have a grinder. Some grocery stores will sell locally roasted beans/grounds, but they don't always have the best practices when it comes to expired coffee.

I usually toss beans out after a couple months if they haven't been used yet. Keep them in an airtight and opaque container to slow down spoilage. I've heard of people freezing beans when they buy in bulk to make them last many months, but I don't buy more than I can use in a month. Outside of these two options, exposed to the air and room temp you get a few weeks max.

To complicate shit further, theres also the chinese company Helor, who Australian Helor was having do their manufacturing. Due to lax chinese IP laws, they are still in business with the name and say Helor Aus and Option O(now the same company) are fucking them. This is why the Helor Stance Motor(that option o designed off the helor stance manual) now just called the OOHSM.

>Helor's official website: helor.com, the one and the only.
Helor used to collaborate with an Australian distributor (the websites they used: helor-coffee.com and option-o.com) to promote our brand, and has now ceased cooperation.
Helor's products are designed and producted by the Chinese team during the whole period, the Australian team was only involved in brand promotion.

I generally like coffee in the morning, before work. I barely want to even put a paper filter into an automatic, cheap American(chinese) coffee machine and hit "brew" at that point. The grinder is far from the bottleneck in quality. I'm probably going to buy a cheap espresso machine until I hit the hours necessary to advance in my job, then I'll be able to justify $1000 or so for a good espresso machine, and I'll reconsider my grinder at that time

Its a 40mm conical mounted in shitty plastic housing. What do you expect? Its probably going to grind coffee and works perfect for dark roast french pressers to feel adequate.

Define expensive. We rec hand grinders for one reason. A $200 hand grinder is going to "punch above" its weight compared to a $200 electric because more money can go into the alignment/adjustability and burrs when you're not paying for a motor. Machine time isn't cheap so by just mounting shit in plastic you're cutting out a significant amount of manufacturing time. P100 is ~$2800 shipped. Those burrs are ~$550 if you buy them from ssp.

I got my Flair recently too, and the stuff it makes became so much better when I also got a proper espresso grinder. It's still has sourness but it's balanced with the bitterness and doesn't linger in your mouth.
Make sure you tamper properly too. Even though I got a decent grinder, if I tamp wrong the fucker sprays coffee to the side because channeling .
What also helps me is to keep track of how much coffee I use and how fine I grind it in a note on my phone. I just sit there like a faggot sipping 'presso and writing down my thoughts of it every day. Feels good.

Another new coffee!
Rwandan wet-process:
Dry smell: cinnamon, clove, slight citrus, slight black tea
Wet smell: All of the above, but stronger
Taste: Gentle cinnamon/clove mulled spice flavors very well integrated in a sweet dark honey middle tone. Definitely oranges, but it's not overwhelmingly citrusey. All the honey, spices, and citrus balance out with nothing so much on the top. Black tea is a very subtle undertone. Aftertaste isn't so much citrus, but more spice, a tingling cinnamon.

Nice coffee. Good daily drinker for medium roasts. I've had similar Kenyas that also shifted more towards spice than citrus. Beans are very uniform, almost Kenya level grading. Good job, Rwanda!

yes. i think you should start with single origin beans so you can know what that bean from that country from that region tastes like. and then if you find a blend you want to try you can see what is in the blend (dont buy unless they give detailed info on exactly what beans are in the blend) and know if you like it or not.

like if a blend has 50% from x region in colombia and 50% from x region in brazil and you generally dont like colombian coffee you can know that there is a good chance you won't like the blend, but if you only drink blends and you dont like the blend you have no idea why you dont like it.

buying small amounts of many different single origins is the best way to go so you can have a general understanding of most kinds of coffee.

what's the cheapest... stationary hand grinder? think weber hg-1 but not ridiculously pricey. I just don't wanna faff with some kinda tiny lever that makes me overexert because of some ridiculous notion that you need your fucking bean grinder to be portable

Is that the plastic thing? It came with something I bought with my bong called like a stoner beginner kit or something. At the time I had a glass bowl and no grinder to my name, I bought a bong, a grinder, a shitload of different papers, an ashtray, a joint rolling tool, screens, filters, and a one hitter for like $50. It's not about a salary, it's all about reality.

watch hoffmemes video on it.

im thinking of buying one, im autistic and automatic grinders make a sound that causes me alot of discomfort so if i want to grind i have to use manual grinders and im not going to be caught dead with one of those dogshit tiny ass meme manual grinders. i dont drink espresso but if i did i would buy a manual espresso maker for the same sound reasons, cafes and coffee shops are literal hell for my brain and send me into a schizo episode just from the sound of the machines alone.

that looks pretty awesome, I wish it wasn't designed for espresso, I like them, but no way am I gonna get sucked into that moneypit, but I guess it doesn't matter if you can adjust grind size. and it doesn't even cost more than some of those shitty portable ones. thanks anon.

thanks babe. I do think it's a bit off-puting that you're grinding in a horizontal plane, and it doesn't seem to ship in eu. the grind size adjustment design is pretty slick tho

Fwiw I've heard both are dogshit. Just get a commandante or kinu. I'm actively trying to cancel my weber key preorder for an hg-1 prime or a wug2 83a.

>I wish it wasn't designed for espresso,
this is my one major gripe about the coffee industry is that most products (especially grinders) are geared super heavy to espresso. like sure this grinder can 100% be adjusted for almost any kind of coffee you want to make but every single video showing it off only shows how to grind for espresso and how to make espresso with it, and every forum post talks about dialing in for espresso, like holy fuck can everyone stop deepthroating espresso so goddamn much give some head to the other brewing methods.

its like 70% espresso 20% v60 pour over and then 10% everything else.

>pharos 2 vs hg1 vs helor
haven't even opened that link but it's literally comparing something that costs 5 times as much how is that fair in any way. I simply want a grinder that's not gonna take 5 minutes because the lever ROM is tiny, and also a grinder where only the burr is moving is always gonna produce more reproducable results.
