New beans day.
In honnor of murican sportsball it's washed murican president coffee.

>Kenyan coffee is renowned for its cherry and apple aromas, which give it a unique and delicious taste. This original blend is 100% Arabica. With a strength of 5 out of 10, this is a medium coffee, suitable for those who prefer a drink that is both light and full-bodied. It is blond roasted, which preserves the coffee's original aromas while giving it a lively character. Ideal for espresso and filter coffee, it can be used successfully in a variety of coffee machines, including espresso machines and filter coffee makers.

>Kenyan coffee is grown in mountainous regions, where the climatic conditions and nutrient-rich soils contribute to its unique, complex flavour. The aromas of cherry and apple combine to create a delicious combination that will appeal to the most discerning coffee lover. Kenyan coffee is known for its high acidity and full-bodied flavour, giving it a lively, fresh character. Finally, Kenyan coffee is an ideal choice for coffee lovers looking for a complex, lively tasting experience that blends perfectly with the cherry and apple aromas.

I ground a bit too fine, will have to grind coarser to make the fruit notes pop more, but it's already really nice and no unpleasant bitterness.
Super thicc and nice mouthfeel, the taste is more diverse and fruity than the Dominican one.
Looks like i'm gonna enjoy this one.

The k6 has a better body, but the p2 has better blades. The plastic on it is relatively high quality, unless the inner adjustment bothers you a lot you'll do fine with it. The finer adjustment of the k6 isn't that useful for anything other than espresso.

Try grinding coarser and/or reducing the water temp from boiling (100) to low-mid 90 (90-95)
If it still tastes like shit, lower to high 80 (85-89)

What fast food chain has the best coffee beans? I know none of them are very good, but I would like to know how they all compare to each other. I'm in Ontario. When I'm out and I haven't brought homemade coffee with me I prefer to get McDonald's coffee. I used to prefer Tim Hortons, but they changed their beans years ago and I don't like how they've tied their brand to Canadian national identity.

1. Fill moka pot to just below valve
2. Insert filter basket and fill to the top with grounds (dont overfill)
3. Screw the top on tight
4. Put it on medium heat, coffee should start pouring out after about 3 minutes
5. Take it off the heat when coffee reaches the bottom of the pour spout
6. Stir then pour
At any point in this process you can throw the aeredditpress in the trash.

A lot of people say cafec abaca is goated but it don’t notice it to be that different from t90 in draw down time, both are fast- I grind as fine as I could without getting ashy notes and my brew is always comfortable under 3min. I do notice however abaca lacks stiffness of wood pulp paper filters, and I have to fiddle around with it straight and get a good fit in the brewer. The Hario (Japan) in pp bags aren’t even that far off, maybe around 10s slower the one time I bothered to pay attention but they’re cheaper, tho I never tried shrink wrapped ones to find out how ass those are.

hi guys im vietnamese i've been making phin coffee at home but why tf its so bland? its unbelievably bland and have no after taste idk how the fuc I managed to fuck it up s obadly

I did the following step: rinse phin filter and cup with hot water -> put grounded coffee in (2 tablespoons or so) -> brew the coffee with just a bit of near-boiling water -> wait a few mins -> pour the rest of near-boiling water in.

the coffee doesn't pour down too quickly so I think the process should be acceptable. but the end result is so bad.

>Coffee from Peru is known for its aromas of grapefruit and ginger, which give it a unique and delicious taste. It is 100% Arabica, which guarantees finesse and flavour. With a strength of 4 out of 10, this is a light coffee, suitable for those who prefer a less strong drink. It is very aromatic and is part of the Single Origin range, which brings together coffees grown in a single region, thus providing homogeneity and specificity of flavour.

>Coffee from Peru is grown in mountainous regions, where the climatic conditions and nutrient-rich soils contribute to its unique, complex flavour. The aromas of grapefruit and ginger combine to create a delicious combination that will appeal to the most demanding coffee lovers. Its freshness on the palate, fruity taste and harmonious character make it a much-loved coffee. In short, coffee from Peru is an ideal choice for coffee lovers looking for an aromatic, fresh and harmonious tasting experience with aromas of grapefruit and ginger.

Grind was a tad too fine, 1:2 in 38s. Notwithstanding the slowness of the shot, the cuppa was balanced and harmonious, lacking bitterness however brighter than the kenyan beans. It's tasty.

>The rapid expansion of cloned hybrid varieties, which now account for the majority of cocoa cultivation, is jeopardizing the richness of cocoa flavors, farmers' cultivation methods and cocoa's ability to adapt to global warming. Protecting the genetic diversity of cocoa means ensuring the future of chocolate.

If you want to fit in with your peers, really low quality instant coffee.

So in Luxembourg they have signs in French (judging by the Esso sign in French on the left of the image)? Interesting.

Brit here, a lot of our petrol stations only have two types of fuel, petrol and diesel. Sometimes there might be a second type of petrol, high-octane/premium or whatever. I think regular petrol is E10 (10% ethanol) and the premium stuff is E5 (5% ethanol).

try to find a plantation that is owned by whites but only employes niggers

for me i prefer buying from wartorn impoverished african nations with high corruption and zero workers rights
like burundi
rwanda is pretty good too
the more you spend the more gets into the hands of corrupt officials and then to terrorists which then attack the government or other african nations
round and round it goes

The bed. How's it look?
25g coffee at 93 clicks on K6
375g water at 97°C
1:20 bloom 7:40 total
Using a tea strainer as a brewer, a jar as the carafe, and a pitcher style kettle.
Coffee came out tasting of coffee. Maybe a touch overextracted. I'll try a slightly lower temperature next time.

Tasting notes: flat, nutty, hints of chocolate. No acidity, minor bitterness.
Not a taste sensation by any means, but surpasses Lidl's americano.
Does the job in the morning.

looks kinda shitty but not unexpected given the equipment
at a 1:15 ratio, I doubt youre overextracting it, but that does look pretty dark for such a high temperature
could just be the picture though, shit always seems to look darker than in person
