so /ck/ which one is better?
Pressed Coffee or Coffee from a normal Coffee maker?

>> No.4480798

I haven't drank anything but pressed. I even have my own press at work so i don't have to drink the foldgers.

>> No.4480804

>>4480798
why don't you try the other kind?

>> No.4480808

What's a "normal coffeemaker?" Not everyone here is from the same country, so what's normal to one will be foreign to another.

Either this or Espresso. Anything else ends up too cold. Drip coffee makers are particularly terrible at this.

I drink Turkish when I can't be bothered to fire up the Espresso machine. I like both styles about the same.

I drink pressed everyday, but I think machine/drip is better - im just too lazy, also I dont have a machine.

>> No.4480980

I've heard that drip and perculated coffee is inferior to other kinds because the water is boiling when it comes in contact with the bean. This extracts flavors deemed unpleasant.

I, for one, don't care. French press has gritty grounds at the bottom which are both neat and gross at the same time.

Best coffee is espresso.

I use a french press now, its cheap, but aslong as the beans are decent its fine.

Used a stovetop boiler previously, it was ok but i thought could be quite bitter in flavor.

Espresso > French press > stovetop > moconna

French press shits on coffee machines. and is cheaper

I like Turkish and Press Pot. Really don't bother with anything else. I prefer the flavor/texture... but to be completely honest I really prefer them for their convenience.

It takes me all of around 5 minutes to make coffee out of a press pot, and 4 of those minutes are letting the coffee brew. Really can't beat that.

expensive like what? you can't afford the equivalent of 10 euros for a Moka?

I bet they are cheaper too in the States since you don't pay so many taxes

>> No.4481129

>>4481122
true but unless you want a super high-coffeine (and therefore you have to set a very low flame) it takes maybe a couple of minutes to make coffee...

when you hear the water boiling you wait a while and turn the flame off

it's not rocket science I guarantee you

Pressed coffee is stronger and therefore better. That's all there is to it for my money.

>> No.4483630

I got a press a few months ago and I love it. I think the coffee tastes better and the press isn't difficult to wash.

However, I still use the coffee maker when I'm staggering out of bed after two hours of sleep and don't feel like thinking.

Also you can just rinse it with hot water for a bit, doesn't take much effort and adds to the flavor of the next coffees you're going to make with it. I only clean mine with washing liquid once every ~ten uses.
