coconut, semen and coffee grounds

>>17258371
Ingredients:
>Ground cafe du monde (or preferred coffee. Cheaper coffees require no cold brew hot bloom and can be directly cold brewed).
RATIO: ONE CUP COFFEE-4 CUPS WATER
>Star anise (~2 pods/1 teaspoon),
>Vanilla extract,
>Cloves (2-4 cloves to taste; you can always add more at the end but you can't take away!),
>Cinnamon (about 1/2 to 1 stick, or, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground),
>Ginger (4 teaspoons),
>Nutmeg (1 teaspoon. Remember that nutmeg is sweet and you're adding sweetened milk, this recipe makes 4 servings!) to taste,
>1/4 cup coconut cream (NOT CREAM OF COCONUT, that is sweetened), 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (total, so 1/16 cup or 1 tablespoon per drink, of each),

Cold brew, hot bloom your coffee: pour about 1.5 cups of hot water over the grounds, shove your spices and vanilla in while it's still hot, allow to bloom for 30 seconds, then pour over the rest of your water. Let steep in the fridge or at room temp--covered, obviously--overnight. Let those flavors get to know eachother and mingle. You can add your 1/2 cup coconut cream and 1/2 cup S.C. milk now, or 1/16 cup each, per drink, when you are serving it. I prefer now.

Take that bitch out, filter it through a fine meshed sieve. Drink it.

fuck this reminded me to dig out my fermentation equipment to make some ginger beer, last time it was better than anything I'd ever bought in a store, fresh, rich but not overly sweet, with that little spicy kick.

>For most microwave stresses, 4x4 mm square pieces of plastic were placed into glass beakers in a 1200 W microwave oven set on “high” for two minutes, and then allowed to rest for 30minutes. The cycle was repeated 10 times. Some samples were placed in EA-free polypropylene (PP) tubes, and then microwaved on “high” setting for three minutes with a resting time 30minutes between stresses. The cycle was repeated 5 times. We did not detect consistent differences in leaching after the two protocols.

>For autoclave stresses, plastic products were enclosed in individually crimped packets of EA-free aluminum foil and placed in a Tuttnauer autoclave at 134°C for 8 minutes.


Yeah I'm thinking COPE

>>17258590
>This hazard assessment survey showed that many BPA-free PC- replacement products still leached chemicals having significant levels of EA, as did BPA-containing PC counterparts they were meant to replace. That is, BPA-free did not mean EA-free. However, this study also showed that some PC-replacement products did not leach chemicals having significant levels of EA. That is, EA-free PC-replacement products could be made in commercial quantities at prices that compete with PC-replacement products that were not BPA-free. Since plastic products often have advantages (price, weight, shatter-resistance, etc.) compared to other materials such as steel or glass, it is not necessary to forgo those advantages to avoid release into foodstuffs or the environment of chemicals having EA that may have potential adverse effects on our health or the health of future generations.

So they concluded those nonbpa copolys(that the current clear AP is made of) absolutely degrade and leach estrogen, but plastic is still convenient so its gucci.

Years of hot water and uv photodegredation is going fuck your system. Replace it once a year bitchtits.

I did it

If you pressure cook it and expose it to UV light... Which nobody does.
Dumb schizo.

>We have received confirmation from our supplier, Eastman Chemical, that the copolyester that we use (brand name is Tritan) in the AeroPress does not contain BPA or any of what they called BPA analogs specifically including BPS.(2014)

> Figure 1G shows a dose–response curve for a saline extract of a UVA-stressed green Tritan™ bottle with no detectable EA and a green acrylic wine goblet whose extract had EA. Colorless Tritan™ bottles or Tritan™ bottles of colors other than green often exhibited leaching of chemicals with EA

Looks like 5 of their 6 revisions are confirmed to leach xenobiotic chemicals with estrogenic activity often. Maybe Alan Adler got a degree in plastic engineering in 6 months and completely changed the playing field?

Can anyone spoonfeed me as to which one of these two burr models is used for the older Crono and filter grinders and which is filter coffee focused and comes standard when bought from now on? It's absurdly difficult for me to find the burr names from any website

>>17258726
>The UV component of terrestrial radiation from the midday sun comprises about 95% UVA and 5% UVB; UVC and most of UVB are removed from extraterrestrial radiation by stratospheric ozone. Approximately 5% of solar terrestrial radiation is UVR, and solar radiation is the major source of human exposure to UVR. Before the beginning of last century, the sun was essentially the only source of UVR, but with the advent of artificial sources the opportunity for additional exposure has increased.
Always figured you for a chud.

Will do, just took a picture of the bottom of the grinder and nearly spilt my beans all over the floor kek

this is the thread.

don't leave your beans in the hopper nigwad

>>17259277
why not?

>And in the face of evidence, you're confident its not making you retarded kek. Good luck. You'll need it.
Where's the evidence that the latest aeropress revision leaches estrogen under typical use? The articles you posted don't imply that so I think you might be the retard here.
Stick to posting about headphone cables, it's more up your schizo alley.

>>17259281
the beans will go stale, anon
you wanna keep them in an airtight bag

>>17259296
fugg i thought beans had to air out and release CO2 after being roasted no?

>>17259303
they do that on their own with no intervention required on your part
the bag's got that little oneway valve for a reason

>>17259303
do you somehow think that doesn't happen in a sealed bag?

I prefer to bring boiling water in a thermos, hand grind my beans, take out my French press and brew it right in front of those hippie baristas faces.

>>17258610
modern AP is made from PP, which they mention does not leach EA. Aeropress is fine.

"all of the AeroPress Original and AeroPress Go parts, except the silicone seal, are now made of polypropylene."
>https://aeropress.com/pages/faq

In fact, the study mentioned earlier used PP tubes to hold the other plastics for testing.

Finally went down and got the free costco membership for wage slaving. Got the Columbia one I've seen people mention here before. Its not roasted to shit, but holy hell this stuff is acidic. I made it in my moka pot twice and came out sour as shit. Thought maybe I grinded a hair to big. Then when i had it in the auto drip using the Hoffman hack and a paper filter it was still acidic; less sour though. Its ground pretty fine, so I'm guessing the coffee itself is just naturally acidic as shit? Wyeth I add milk it helps but kills any flavor. Any advice? Its not the worst coffee I've had, but I got 3 pounds to go through. I've seen it being sold as a child brew, so should i just brew it that way? If I'm remembering correctly brewing it cold shouldn't make it as acidic and sour. What size grind should I use? Would milk or somthing like heavy cream work better?

>>17259290
First 2 models explicitly contained bpa, but they claimed a lab report stated no chemicals with EA were leached yet never posted said report and quickly shifted away from BPA polycarbonate. The next 4 models(09-15) are explicitly eastman tritan, which is known to leach EAs. I don't have confirmation on what exact polypropylene the 2015+ models are, but AP certainly does. The fact that they stopped mentioning anything about the fake lab test doesn't bode well.
>under typical use
You're not going to stop photodegredation unless you're making coffee in a darkroom for developing photos The chemical composition of that tube is steadily changing. Use the fucking aeropress, I don't care. Replacing it from time to time is going to be better for your health.
>High baseline toxicity was detected in all
“bioplastics” made of polylactic acid (PLA). The toxicities of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polystyrene (PS), and
polypropylene (PP) varied. Our study demonstrates that consumer plastics contain compounds that are toxic in vitro but
remain largely unidentified. Since the risk of unknown compounds cannot be assessed, this poses a challenge to manufacturers,
public health authorities, and researchers alike. However, we also demonstrate that products not inducing toxicity are already on
the market.

>>17259358
>They found that the toxicity of a particular plastic varied dramatically from product to product because of each product’s manufacturing process. In this study, researchers found that some polypropylene products affected androgen hormones and caused a toxic or stress response in cells.
Sure, so you look at a study thats 5 years more recent and find that out gem. Used a healthline summary to try to dumb it down for you.

>retards who drink hot water out of plastic everyday exhibit the exact amount of mental illness and overall retardation that you'd expect from them
it's uncanny

Tough call.

>>17259457
for me? it's da aewopwess gang

>>17259432
great, so that gets us back to square 1. We have no specific data on the aeropress. We have data that suggests that (at least some) PP does not leach EA.

>>17259474
>Since the risk of unknown compounds cannot be assessed, this poses a challenge to manufacturers,
public health authorities, and researchers alike.
We know some pp leaches androgenic and we know its hard to detect and assess. We also know 5/7 are made using known estrogenic and androgenic leaching chemicals(BPA and Tritan) and they lied about the first 2. Do yourself a favor and just buy a new press for 2022. $30. Do it every January. Same with anyone using a plastic v60 or the like.
You went from
>nuh uh they say PP is fine
to
>nuh uh pp might not be fine but I still trust em. They make a good frisbee.

This nigga afraid of plastic

what's a good expresso machine that i can buy for my office?

>>17260249
Do you own the business and it's a tax writeoff or are you doing something nice for your coworkers?

>>17260285
both
there's only 5 of us in the office and we're all snobs in our own way about coffee (my receptionist brings coffee in a thermos ever day and goes on about making it every morning, the others we usually go to cafe once or twice per day to get shots or lattes)
I figure it would help productivity and morale and no one would would be caught dead drinking pod coffee plus it would impress clients if we could serve them a proper coffee when they're in the office

>>17260331
>impress clients
How much you tryna spend lol

I've been making webms lately
Let me know if there's any webms you want, and I'll see what I can do when I get bored later
I can also add captions

>>17260331
In that case I'd suggest a Breville Dual Boiler - you can get away with the onboard grinder or you can spend a little more on a standalone but it's easy enough to use/teach for people that aren't super familiar with coffee machines but also has enough scope to get a better result if you're a hobbyist. It's output can be pretty fast if that's important in your environment. It's not quite comparable with pretty Italian machines but it's not that far behind and being mid-high end consumer grade it's got easy mode warranty support and doesn't need the care and attention Italian machines do.

I love my Chemex but it takes forever to make a cup of coffee with it. any decent coffee makers where it heats up the water a lot and I can still utilize the Chemex filters themselves?

>Just got my Baratzza Sette 30

You guys weren’t joking with the grinder memes, my Gaggia managed to pull a 30 second espresso with no issues

>>17260703
can you try use a china cap and a butane tortch for heat maybe?

>>17259471
Is that one on the left a female?

>>17260827

>>17260833
Do you think that she (he) would "throw it back" for an incel like me?

Never too late for a lil fagogato.

you guys gotta try putting ice cream in coffee. I put some vanilla blue bell in my coffee and it tastes like a cappuccino and the temp difference is cool its cold then warm when you drink it.

>>17261073
I prefer coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk in my cold brewed, hot bloomed brew

>>17259362
>>17261073
Costcofag make sure to get some Kirkland super premium vanilla ice cream. Same manufacturer as the sam's club branded super premium I just posted. S tier vanilla and cheap. Guarantee it'll elevate your shitty moka supremo.

eureka mignon next

Maybe one of you has an input, have any of you used a single grouphead machine in a commercial setting? After experiencing workflow and difficulty of scaling up productivity on a 2-head in a very busy cafe setting, I'm now considering 2x single head for a future business project. I'm certain that two operators with milk and shit located between them is a lot better when tickets pile up than one or two operators trying to swing it on a single larger machine.

>>17262173
I think a talented barista working in any busy cafe should have at minimum two group heads to work with. Frankly I'd be embarrassed to provide my barista with one group head - especially if it's a very busy cafe setting.

2x single head is a different story entirely, and if all you're serving is coffee then I can see why you'd go for that sort of setup

What's better, losing a good barista and saving a few thousand, or retaining your staff and making a larger investment out of your machine?

>>17262199
Having used a larger machine personally at high volume, I didn't often gain time using two heads. Milk drinks made up 95%+ of the orders. When non-milk drinks came through, it was usually part of a larger order which took significant time to process anyways and I wouldn't want to leave a double espresso sitting around getting cold -- so I left it towards the end of the order anyways. I wanted to use one head, one steam wand, next order. And I have a feeling that turning around or stepping a couple feet in one direction to flip a switch and pick up cups is a small enough inconvenience compared to the amount I actually used the second head. And that getting a second person on drinks would be much better for scaling up.

>>17262220
If you haven't got one already, a second person is always the biggest step-up in performance in my experience. Even if all they do is stand on the steam end and finish drinks. Do you have a puqpress or anything like that?

>>17262237
Nah, but second person on drinks scaled poorly when other supplies are placed for the one person to work, counterspace is on one side or behind, walkway was cramped esp. with trays getting picked up, etc. I'm thinking a bottle cooler and shelf between two machines, sink and other stuff behind, would ultimately be better even (especially?) if space is limited.

>>17262254
for sure, you'd need to revise the whole situation to make the move to a 2-person operation where either operator can work without once getting in the way of the other. I can't comment on your idea because I don't know what your floor plan is like but I'm sure you can make it work

>>17262237
this

on a 3 group machine, a skilled barista can be pulling 2 shots at a time and dosing for a third while the 3rd head is recovering
other barista is steaming milk, running cups, finishing drinks, and calling out orders (this is called expediting) so that the main barista can concentrate on making the shots of espresso

>>17262264
The most I've been able to get out of a second person on a 2-head is prepping milk carafes, rinsing and running. Sometimes there'd be something like a chai or cafe au lait on a separate ticket which #2 could easily work in start to finish and run or hand off, but not often. Even when two experienced baristas were on the same shift which wasn't often. I'm thinking about how to get more scalability off of #2.

>>17262276
Time your guy next time he's tamping for a big order - keep in mind that if you use a puqpress or alternative it only takes 2 seconds to get from the grinder to a perfect tamped puck

It sounds like your bottleneck is happening before it gets to the second guy, so try to shift some more responsibilities towards him. Things like taking the orders, relaying the order info etc.

I fucking hate the direction /ctg/ is headed. This place was fun and had great inspiration for coffee, just as little as 3 months ago. What happened? The /ctg/ comments are sarcastic at best and cancer at worst. Any efforts at actual discussion immediately just turn into shitposting and memeing, generally pulled off by only 2-3 dedicated schizoid trolls. Genuine questions for help are met with shill comments “Just buy this thing like I have because it’s all I could afford, then you’ll have better coffee like mine” etc. Are there mods that come into this thread? I find it hard to believe this thread is only run by 3-5 people that constantly shit up the place and for no good reason other than “le epic lulz”. Is there any way to request that off topic retarded comments and trolls could be banned or just deleted?

for nog from my planning spreadsheet, scaled up from Alton Brown's aged eggnog recipe
3.16 scale factor
750 milliliters liquor scale
25 servings total
1899 grams eggs == 38 large eggs, separate whites and freeze
1437 grams castor sugar
3.16 teaspoon grated nutmeg

>>17258444
I didn't really believe it until I tried it. Aeropress for body, pour overs for delicate flavors. My recipe is this:
>conventional
>15:1 ratio, fine ground but not espresso
>first pour should be half of brew weight
>stir for 10 seconds back and forth only, let bloom and brew for 45 seconds but it can go longer without detriment
>add rest of water
At this point, if you put a spoon in and feel any resistance, you know you fucked up somewhere. Good frame of reference.
>swirl/tap such that the coffee bed will lie flat
>if previous brew time was 45 seconds, wait 40 seconds and press for 20 seconds
>if previous brew time was 1:15 or higher, don't wait and just press for 20 seconds after swirling the brew
Perfect coffee every single time. Not stirring or not blooming the coffee long enough before the second pour will result in a sour cup, but other than that, it's a pretty foolproof recipe with an added step to recoup an overextraction on the second pour. This has worked well for me for a variety of coffee, and adds a lot of body to fruity roasts without even a hint of bitterness. My favorite cup so far was pic related. I was disappointed with my Aeropress until I figured out my own recipe, and now I almost exclusively use it.

Just get a nespresso, this is what it's made for.
A real espresso machine:
>help productivity and morale
it will be counterproductive, they'll either spend all their time trying to figure out how to get it to make a good tasting shot of espresso or more likely they'll never use it and think you're out of touch. Learning to make a good espresso shot takes time and patience and a lot of wasted beans, it's not something to do on a coffee break in an office.
>serve clients espresso made by hand
that's pretty crazy unless youre a coffee shop or a restaurant or something. i work in insurance and if a rep from a new carrier or something took 5 minutes to make me a cup of espresso while i waited in his office i'd be turned off of whatever he was trying to sell me.
>no one would be caught dead drinking pod coffee

Hey coffee pals, my office mates and I are wanting to each pitch in for a coffee/espresso machine. We're looking for an efficient and fast machine since we're always very busy while in office. What is recommended in the $100-200 range?

>>17258171
I feel like this thing makes such weak cups of coffee. Idc about price anymore, what kinda push button machine do I need to get for black and not tan coffee?

I started working so I started making coffee. got some nice beans and a grinder
i was hand pouring boiling water over a filter, but then i started putting it in a reusable kurieg
i dunno how I should be making it or even if it matters. I like it strong tasting, but not caffeinated enough to make me bzzzt

>make a nice cozy v60 to get ready to get to bed
>am now caffinated and can't sleep
wtf?

I still can’t figure out if this thing is a novelty or not but I really fucking enjoy using it

Got some really good Costa Rican beans, they make a winey, dark chocolate espresso that I can't get enough of. Might make some for my 2nd cup of the day, drinking Cafe Du Monde w some sweet cream now though.

>>17267208
the actual keurig brand replacement insert that holds their own branded reusable pod is the only decent way of brewing a cuppa in one of those abominations. the insert i'm talking about entirely replaced the pod holder to accept their lock-top mesh-bottom grounds container. everything else is trash that leaks pure water through and makes weak coffee. pack it pretty full of somewhat fine grounds, and let it take its time brewing the cup. it'll put more strain on the little shitbox aquarium pump those come with, but it'll make a passing cup for you.

>>17267377
>>17267208
and the beauty of those is that you can cut your regular beans with decaf grounds if a full strength cup is too much kick. sacrifices some flavor, obv, but might be worth to protect your heart.

>>17267361
What is that? Looks fuckin cool

>>17267361
I have seen these, how does it brew? Do you see yourself sticking with it long term?

>>17267383
I read that the heart thing only applies if you're consuming more than four cups a day

>>17258171
When you set up the next coffee thread let's try and emulate the tea fags a bit and make it less of a cesspool

>>17267770
syphon or vacuum brewer
brewing method seems a little convoluted but actually is fairly simple to use
>>17267788
very clean cup, and since you can control extraction time it’s possible to get a lot of flavor out of light beans
I’ll probably stick with it, it’s a nice afternoon cup although my true love is espresso

>>17267826
Christ that's a nice machine. Love the dosing containers.

>>17267821
god no the fuck is wrong with you?

>>17267826
You know intelligentsia sells medium roast blends right? You should rip that sign down.

>>17267208
Try this. French press and other immersion methods make great coffee and are more forgiving to fuckups, plus a french press has other uses like cold brew or foaming milk.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st571DYYTR8

>>17268087
What's wrong with blends?

>>17267208
Keurig is fine for most people. You're not going to get an exceptional cup of coffee out of it but the average person takes theirs with milk and sugar so it doesn't really matter.

>>17263619
nah, some of us are able to enjoy different hobbies believe or not

>>17268087
worst kind of schizo-post

I broke my french press that I used to foam milk with today bros, slipped right out of my hand as I was cleaning it, as a result, I am in the market for a new one. Is there any difference between a £15 press and a £40 one?

>>17268198
And blends usually means not quite thought out compared to, I want to say optimal but I understand people have different preferences, typical high quality SOs third wave roasters. By saying your coffee is a "blend" is an implicit admission of low knowledge, low quality green coffee usually, and likely a very mediocre bag destined to sit on supermarket shelves.

it pleases me that theres a dedicated hoffememe thread running concurrently with this one
keeps the shitposting away

>slowly become a coffee snob over the period of 5 years
>upgrade from nasty Keurig vomit to grinding own beans, getting choosey, local roasts, french press, aeropress, moka, pourover, breville espresso machine
>out of beans one day and need a cup in a pinch
>see I have some of pic related in my cabinet from a cookie recipe I made like a year ago
>mix it with some hot water expecting to hate it
>wtf it's actually pretty good
>inoffensive, almost chocolate-like flavor, zero acidity, minimal bitterness

Does it compare to some of the best coffee I've ever tasted? Obviously not, but if I was drinking this instead of disgusting Keurig dogwater and shitty diner drips all these years, I probably never would have had a practical need to become a coffee snob in the first place. It feels like my life is a lie.

>because everywhere else somehow became worse
fuck that hits close, as for the coffee, I'm hesitant to even try given my past experience with any kind of preground coffee, the best I've ever had was this wonderful Ethiopian Sidamo but even that was completely BTFO by my first homemade freshly ground cup of joe

>>17268371
>>17268365

This is instant coffee, not pre-ground. Most bulk pre-ground coffee I've tasted merely tastes of dirt, though I've never tried bustelo's

>>17268341

I only use instant coffee for baking and that's the brand I always buy

>>17268382
You can hot bloom cold brew anything if you put your mind to it.

>>17262407
You age your nogg for 2 years? I’ve never made advocaat before but I’ve seen recipes that call for making it maybe a few months in advance
How long do you need to age it for best flavor? How long can you age it before the flavor starts to fall off?

>>17268382
my bad, I can't read apparently

>>17268544
>advocaat
hadn't heard of this, but it looks very similar. you do have to keep your abv pretty high or else it's not fridge stable and you have to take car to can it or similarly sanitize the containers. not sure how the egg proteins would stand up to that though.
i am not sure how long i need to age it. the longest i've gone so far is 11 months, but i made a double batch last year to prepare for the long 2 year hibernation. i took tasting notes, though i'm not sommelier, so i can compare this coming winter. if i don't notice a difference, i'll go back to year by year production to save fridge space.

>>17268571
Just a slightly educated bullshit guess, but I’d imagine that after maybe 6-8 months the heat of the alcohol would have declined a fair amount and there wouldn’t be much point in aging it longer

>>17268587
>heat of the alcohol
not sure what you mean. my understanding is that enzymes in the dairy and ambient air in the headspace chew up the oxygen (quick), followed by a very long anaerobic period where ""aging"" occurs. this is the step that tempers the flavoring and adds mellow character to all sorts of drinks and other foodstuffs.
i assume the diminishing returns timeline is somewhere between 1 and 5 years, but that's based on wild speculation and an only barely passing biochem and organic chem background

>>17268617
>>17268587
oh you mean like the "bite" of the alcohol? yeah that should mellow with time. this year's 12 month batch tasted almost devoid of any ethanol bite, but you could still get buzzed from a couple pours.
this coming winter i will have the opportunity to do a side by side taste test of 12 and 24 month batches.

>>17258444
I usually drink turkish coffee, but I have a moka pot and a french press. I mentioned my curiosity about the aeropress when chatting with my mother in law, and the woman actually gifted me an aeropress for this christmas, what a king. Father in law is an alcoholic moron though.
Aeropress makes great coffee, I drink about three cups a day; but seeing this video fucked me up:

It's about six minutes long, but tl;dw:

I think the beans are just meh. Again, not the worst, but not the best. I put a pinch of salt in it one morning and made it way better. Also added a smidge of apricot nectar. Made it mimic expensive coffee.

>>17269262
Thanks for the link, friend, but I'm no Rockefeller, I got the moka pot, the french press, and the aeropress as gifts, 150 aussie dollars is absurd for me. Maybe one day, e.g. next birthday.
The work on these metal presses is really admirable though, great job.

>>17270795
I know that now. That picture was my first time attempting pour over, I didn't really know what I was doing. It's been fun improving my technique and tasting that improvement every day

Can I get a non-manual espresso machine that's okay under $500 or do I absolutely need to spend more?
I already have a nice grinder and a v60 for when I want to work to get a cup, so a lever machine would be redundant.

>>17270126
Beautiful setup man. She's a keeper

>>17270891
what grinder? and yeah you can easily get a used gcp or silvia for around that

>>17270933
Aergrind. It apparently uses the same espresso burrs as most of the popular options at around $150-200 so I think it should be fine.

>>17270088
It's simple, anon, you'll get the hang of it. My recommendation is you get a copper cezve, cause when you take it off the heat it immediately stops heating. Steps for making a cup of good turkish coffee are as follows:
1) measure the water in the cup, and pour that water into the cezve
2) set it on the stove to boil
3) when it boils take it off the heat, and pour a little bit of water in the cup
4) dump a heaping teaspoon of the extremely finely ground coffee (i.e. the one for turkish coffee) for every 100ml of water into the cezve; you can adjust this later to taste, seriously, just eyeball it, fuck scales
5) pour the water form the cup back into the cezve
6) place it back on the stove top
7) watch the foam rising, but don't let it turn into bubbly foam, it's supposed to be thick, so as soon as you see a single bubble, preferably before that, take it off the stove
8) pour into cup and enjoy

Autists will say you have to do it in sand, measure the coffee, and other such things, but as long as you have fresh coffee and good water it will make a fine cup of coffee. Indeed better heat control through sand will allow you to make a perfect froth, but perfect is the enemy of good.

By the way, I personally prefer the "abortion" variant, as we call it here in the Balkans, which is at least three heaping tea spoons to 200ml of water, sometimes four if you're feeling really adventurous.

>>17270945
How do you get coffee ground so fine? I don't have a grinder at home that can do turkish. Do most people in your country own a grinder or do they just buy preground? Do you have a specific brand you like?

>>17270957
I have one of those old traditional hand grinders just for turkish coffee. Most people buy preground. I don't really have a specific brand I like, but I'd say Grand is probably the best of the bunch; however most of them are really similar, just don't buy the cheapest.
The great thing is that a ten minute walk from my home there's a coffee shop which literally just grinds coffee fine for turkish coffee, and their house blend is very nice and costs basically the same as store bought preground coffee.

>>17270944
If you're comfortable with a screwdriver then yeah. OPV and pid a gaggia or rancilio. 38mm burr size on the aergrind is going to be slow cutting though. Its going to be annoying but doable if you're drinking light roast stuff.

>>17271073
>OPV and pid a gaggia or rancilio
Got it. Thanks for the thorough answer.

>>17270126
Aw, she's sweet. Go give her a hug right now.

>>17270083
there’s enough distance between the lower boiling flask and the upper brew chamber that the temperature drops pretty quickly
also the brewing vessel is kind of a big heat sink and when it’s full of hot water, the temperature begins to fall fast
while brewing is going, there’s still water bubbling below and steam keeps pressure until the heat is cut

I was curious about the temperatures that were being achieved so I did a few tests with only water and a thermometer
the absolute hottest reading I could get when the water comes into the upper part was 207
this number quickly dropped to between 199-203 when all the water rises up
the temperature hovers around 200 while the brewing is taking place; a larger amount of water had more variation/drop in temperature and the temperature is more likely to drift lower the longer you let the coffee extract

then once the coffee draws down, it sort of reaches a thermal equilibrium since the flask has stayed heated this whole time
so the brewed coffee is right around 195 and it stays about that hot for several minutes

this was a mindfuck for me at first because I’m not used to coffee that is served that hot not being bitter, burnt, & overextracted
unlike pourover there’s less places for heat to disperse and disappear while brewing, and unlike a percolator the brewing process never gets too hot to destroy flavor

Does anyone know online stores where you can buy clay coffee pots? That are meant to be put over fire.
Preferably in europe, but anything will do.

>>17270126
very nice, enjoy that shit bro

>>17270945

That was a misinterpretation. In fact, he was steeping in one jar, and then passing it through a strainer into another jar. Which should work, if the grind is coarse enough to be caught by the strainer.

That's a pretty neat idea. Fuck those espresso guys spending thousands of dollars on a coffee machine. With the "ghetto coffee strainer technique" you don't even need electricity. Nice.

I've been constantly trying new roasters that sell online for single origin offerings and it seems like of late everyone is burning the fuck out of their beans. Any recommendations for extremely light roasted coffee that makes good flavorful ristrettos that don't end up tasting like hot asphalt?

hello am a newfag and am looking for advice. I currently just own a basic french press and a cheap grinder. Do I need a better grinder? I am somewhat poor

>>17276992
hello newfag. well, firstly your gonna need to get yourself a grinder. make sure to buy any grinder you can find that does not require electricity. electric grinders are too complicated and convenient for what you are trying to do. also, too expensive
the next thing you will need to do is buy a flair 98. and ensure you get all the add on accessories they make for it (pressure gage, crema switch, cheater bar, roaster compensator). oh and make sure to buy one used because it will be cheaper. do not question why so many people sell their flairs in like-new condition, only used once or twice. I know nothing about you, newfag, but I can objectively state that the flair is the best and only option that you should consider. do not be tempted to buy anything else because you cannot afford it and there's no better solution for you

>>17276992
buy green coffee and roast it yourself.
it's cheaper and better quality.
your setup is fine.

>>17274728
Is this cup ok?
What flavor differences can I expect?

bought a 10$ french press. surely even chineseium piece of crap will work, it is such a simple device. already broke it, the bottom was super thin

>>17277261
broke it on first use

>>17277261
thats what you get for jewing out.

>>17277325
absolutely, but still I would have expected more than one cup. I'll go for a bodum or something instead though I'm not even sure if I'll use it

>>17277261
>>17277337
should have bought a flair
do you realize that the flair is the only professionally manufactured coffee-brewing machine designed for home use that makes the greatest espresso you will find and is guaranteed to never break even after repeated use?

>Is coffee good for women?

>>17276992
If your grinder is shit, getting a better one is probably the single best thing you can do to improve the quality of your brews. If you're cheap/poor then a hand grinder will be the best choice to get something decent for your money, if you post your budget here then you should get plenty of responses calling you a poor retard, shilling kingrinder, and potentially even a couple with actual recommendations.

funny you should mention cappuccino. the flair is the first and only professional espresso machine geared towards the home user that is capable of making cafe-quality cappuccinos. the operation of the flair is simpler to use than any other cappuccino machines and it is easy and fun to get consistent results.

>>17278132
>plastic
the only plastic parts used in the assembly of the flair are BPA-free as well as approved for food and medical use by the EPA, the FDA, and the DHS. when properly used, no espresso or grounds make any contact with plastic components. the same cannot be said about aeropress

I watched 1/6th of a hoffman video on the Breville SGP and it pretty much showed me everything I needed to know about it.

sorry for l8 response i just woke up, the coffee i make now is alright I just wanted to know how to make it better. Wheres a good place to buy beans? Also if I were to upgrade my grinder, it was probably around 15$ (it was a gift), my limit of what I can spend is probably around 50$ (I can a little above if I need to). Ty for responses!!

at the very least, you should look into getting a burr grinder with genuine steel burrs

Man the Kingrinder k1 is actually really good. I can only compare it to my broken bialetti, but it does everything I want so far.
completely close and open 7 clicks - Turkish very fine grind
20 clicks - fucking perfect for my brikka
Hell yeah this will do nicely.

It's such an expensive machine but will last you until the end of time pretty much. Be sure to buy high quality filters for it.

trouble is you need both a Cup-One & a KBGV Select for personal use and sharing capabilities

That's the problem I had with moka pots. I ended up owning 3 different sizes, but at least they're cheap and don't take up too much room

I usually just make a huge pot in the morning, themos it, and then drink through the day. I use a chemex but I've heard very good things about the techivorm machines.

>>17279025
Not a fan of the mocca pot, I have friends who swear by it but the coffee produced just hasn't really been that good. Whatever works for you though I know it's super popular in Italy

Females open their legs more easily when they're comfy, happy and safe.
It's like how hens won't lay eggs if they're very scared or stressed.

Bless this man. He's so brilliant and eloquent.
I could listen to him read the phone book.
I sort of worry about him sometimes. I want to knit him sweaters and make sure he's eating enough.

>>17278731
He makes no effort to hide the fact that he's a huge coffee snob and makes a way bigger deal about a lot of things than any normal person would, so as long as you keep that in mind when watching his videos he provides a lot of really good info for people who are interesting in understanding coffee, grinders, brew methods, etc. Definitely made me aware of a bunch of aspects of choosing and brewing coffee that I never even would have thought about back when I was first getting into the hobby so I appreciate that.

>>17278868
If you're willing to roll the dice on AliExpress, you can usually find some of the cheaper timemore grinders for around that price point on there which I've heard are good options to start on.

>>17278952
This but make sure you get the one that comes with a thermal carafe instead of the glass+hotplate unless you hate yourself

And I was preparing to visit Vienna before the pandemic hit.
But with travel restrictions, and I presume the concert halls closing, that fell through. Was Viennese coffee actually any good in your various opinions?
