Today I had my coffee black with four Werthers soft chews melted and mixed in

>>17884106
I thought that was a penus from the thumbnail

Just made this V60. What did I think of it?

>>17884010
I roast my own coffee but have drank exclusively Aldi-brand instant coffee for the past three months

>>17884010

for me it's 1/3 the cheapest instant coffee I can find and 2/3 of almond milk with 4 tablespoons of sugar, some cinnamon and vegan whipped cream on top

I don't really care about coffee but my brother is starting to get interested in it. Is there some sort of recommended sampler I can get him so he can try a bunch of different ones?

>>17887020
Coffees come and go, the one constant is the grinder. Do your bro a solid and get him a Kingrinder. He’ll thank you for years to come.

>>17887020
Look up local roasters in his area and get some single origins

Covfefe general

Drip kept making me really sick but espresso didn't. I tried making cold brew yesterday and it's also not making me sick. I wonder what oil or something I'm getting with the hot water

Any tips on pour overs? Finally got sick of k cups and decided to try a v60 gift set, bought filters and finally got going but can't help but think I'm doing something wrong with how the grinds look like sticking so hard to the sides. Will post 1st, 2nd, and final pour for judging how shit I currently am. Timings were 30s and 80s for the first two pours

>>17887790
Pour 2 towards the end of the 80 seconds

>>17887797
End of the final pour, was told to mix while it was filled with water so that's what I did

Jesus christ.

>>17887809
>>17887797
>>17887790
jesus fucking christ call a fucking exorcist. i didnt even know this was possible. it looks like you literally shit in a v60.

>>17888052
So part of it is he's using a fucking perforated metal cone with what looks like offbrand canvas filters. Part of it is the preground dark roast. and the other part is he has zero clue what to do. You can't stick a melodrip in those hands and expect improvement. Learn to walk before you run etc.

>>17888052
Won't deny that I'm shit at this, it's half the reason I posted. The other half is looking at how to improve (or make it look less like absolute garbage), otherwise coffee lovers here can rest knowing that I'm drinking this affront to their hobby every day and will only half assedly look elsewhere to improve

What are /ck/ approved espresso machines for various price brackets?

Nope, this was straight out of the kettle, day 2 or 3 of learning off of 2-3 YouTube videos

I'll give this one a shot later today, pours a lot faster than I expected, been going slow as hell thinking I was doing it right
>>17888508
50/50 on this, I've at least looked into past coffee threads and seen the seethe if someone says it is/isn't a meme

Thoughts on barrel aged beans? Think I might order some.

>>17889143
>>17886359
No, its roughly 2~ ounces moka pot coffee and 2ounces warmed frothed milk with a little cinnamon maple syrup. Cortados are perfect when the base coffee isn't anything special.

Why is the jar so ominous?

Where my Bripe bros at?

the artificial hazelnut Hawaiian beans I got (by accident) was horrible so I tossed all of them. What a disaster

What's the best whole beans you can get from Tesco/Asda/Morrisons? Doesn't seem to be much reliable info on this, just a load of shoddy blogs and the like all obfuscated with shit about waitrose and shit that doesn't exist within 100 miles of me.

>>17893970
Any company that has to get by through virtue of their warranty is putting out fucking junk. The sette is a design baratza bought from Etzinger and then cheaped the fuck out on parts and manufacturing(still uses etz burrs). The vario is exactly the same but designed by Ditting.

>>17893970
It was probably a Chinese knockoff anyways. Amazon is basically worthless these days.

>>17884010
Anyone else here ever work in the coffee business? I don't mean as a barista, I mean on the blending and roasting side. I've been working for a medium size coffee roasting company for like 3 years. I've gotten a decent amount of experience in basically every step of the process from green beans to cuppa.

Anyone has that bellend stovetop milk steamer? I'm kinda tempted to either get that or the nanofoamer to go with a flair

>>17894361
How about you get a rope and neck yourself

>>17894364
Bad idea. Can't enjoy espresso if I'm dead. Is bellman good or nah?

>>17894369
Yes, it goes great with a lilydrip

>>17894375
That thing looks crammable.
Meh since there's no int resellers I guess I'll hold off or get a nanofoamer instead.

>>17894399
Where are you at?
https://www.cremashop.eu/en/products/bellman/steamer-cx25s
180euros seems real fucking steep.
https://www.bellmancoffee.co.uk/products/bellman-cx25-s
80gbp is alot better. I've been looking at one for years so I should probably just snag one at this point. Heard they're fine, if not a little aggressive. Also kind of just want to snag this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gIFbURy4HE

>>17894461
That second one looks cool, but it's 440euros for a bulky unitasker. Maybe if you own a small bakery/cafe, but for home use it seems excessive for just a milk frother

>>17894399
Flair+Nanofoamer owner here. Admittedly, the Nanofoamer is finicky as hell, but it's a lot cheaper than buying a Bellman. Your foam quality and thus latte art from a Nanofoamer will always be inferior to a steam wand, but at least you're not spending roughly extra 60 dollars for a pressurized vessel that only does one thing. The Nanofoamer could also at least be used for frothing other things like matcha.
Personally, I'd save up the money to buy a full-blown espresso machine instead of spending it on a Bellman. You could also go full cheap route and just froth with a french press for now.

>>17894478
Also I just don't want to deal with int shipping at all at the moment. There's a reseller for nanofoamer here, so it's convenient for me, but I already own a manual frother and it's not that much different

>>17894482
I use a French press already, yeah. That "silky milky" Lance Hedrick video helped a lot to make tasty brews. I don't think I'll want to buy a full blown espresso machine in the future. The Flair is really convenient with how you can fold it away. Nanofoamer being finicky is concerning

>>17894493
I would love to get a mouthful of Lance's silky milky if you catch my drift

I recently bought a few kilos of green carbonic macerated Bourbon from a usually reliable Colombian farm but I suspect this batch suffers from Rio defect (AKA elevated TCA or cork taint). Does anyone know of any roasting and brewing methods that tend to mask the Rio flavor or am I just fucked?

No you have to use cold milk if you want it hot

Is a well-used Breville Barista Express worth buying for a bit above half its original price?

>>17904697
Breville do some pretty hefty discounting from time to time - might be worth seeing what they discount to where you live and wait a while.

I like lI can't tell the difference between dark roast, light roast, expresso, mocha, folgers, starbucks, hazelnut flavor, vanilla flavor etc. It's all coffee to me.

>>17887797
>>17887790
Wait, how many pours are you supposed to do? The YouTube videos I looked up years ago when I bought my pour over stuff said to just add the water all at once (or at least as much as you can without overflowing) and then either just give it an occasional stir or push the grounds stuck to the sides back down.

>>17904975
Add just enough to saturate all the grounds, stir/swirl and allow to bloom for 15-30 seconds
Slowly pour rest of water in spiral motion
Scrape sides with spoon and stir top gently a couple of times in each direction

>>17902330
Drinking it now. It's good. Tasting notes were roasted almond and cocoa. Doesn't have that sour aftertaste I didn't like in the previous mediums I've had.

Is a $150 blade grinder better than a $50 burr grinder?

>>17905422
yes
>for grinding coffee
no

>>17905422
You want coffee grounds to come out even-sides, which never works with a blade, but only with a burr.

>>17902043
i grow arabic. I have a big garden with 4 trees, not very difficult to grow if you may ask

Is there a worthy upgrade from a Silvia/Gaggia, from a price to performance perspective?

>>17905038
Yeah that's what I thought. After you let the coffee bloom, you just add in the rest of the water while spiraling the flow and then scrape the sides. I don't know why this guy did it in like 4 pours but it made me confused.

>>17904814
Based. Same here. I just wonder if it's unhealthy to drink more than like 12 coffees a day.

>>17905552
No its all memes buy an aeropress

>>17906426

Just pour all the water in and scrape

poast you're GAYEST mug right now

>>17906426
I just use a $40 chemex with a reusable metal mesh filter, simple as, don't need anything more fancy. It's just pouring hot water over ground beans in an outward spiral, easiest shit in the world.

>>17907874
I use those ziploc freezer bags

>>17907864
A minor inconvenience is that you might need to declare it, and the worst that could happen is that they have you throw away the beans, but I'm pretty sure that in almost all cases you can bring roasted coffee beans without issue.
On the other hand, if you're bringing unroasted beans that you can grow a plant from, that might be a problem.

Are.... you phin poster?

Covfefe bros, I am falling out of love with espresso and in love with cold brew, especially nitro cold brew.

Is there any good resource that gives recommended machines at different price ranges like there is for espresso machines/grinders?

>>17909453
>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.

>>17910020
I want coffee not a fucking dessert.
Work on your reading comprehension, spastic.

>>17910032
That is the single best cold brew recipe ever dreamt up in this general. You're asking for advice on coffee+water+whippits.

>>17910020
looks like raktajino but why the coconut cream

>>17909453
There arent really that many options for nitro at home.

From what I have seen, your options are iSi Nitro dispenser. Its basically a whipped cream dispenser. Or, you buy a barrel which typically come in 2-5L. You then get a stout serving head and N2 canisters.

Personally I have a 5L barrel. Its far too big to keep in the fridge, especially once the tap and gas holder are attached. I would need a separate fridge for it if I was going to keep it filled. As a result it doesnt really get used very much for coffee.

>>17910268
>I was going to keep it filled
I couldn't imagine keeping 5L of week old cold brew on tap. That guy could look into the 64oz Royal Nitro, but its not a "machine" and there are no comparisons. I think he's a moron under the impression that the n2 cans are

Unfortunate, because I just dug up a Hario pour over thingy and my brother has a neat electric kettle that goes to whatever temp you want it and wanting to give coffee fagging a try aside from my usual Folgers and Keurig shit. I bought some V60's and looking around for a blend I can get on Amazon that's slightly above average. Fuck Death Wish, looks like they took decent coffee and maid it edgy for a premium price.

>>17907333
Moomin mugs are based though

>>17887790
What's that metal thing? I thought you were using a v60. Also, what grinder are you using?

Is there any way to fix my cheap-o capresso grinder? It has way too many fines. I can't afford a fancy grinder, do I need to just get a manual one? Or should I use a series of sieves or something with the grinds. That sounds annoying.

>>17911077
Why buy on amazon? Why not find a local roaster you can support? If you live in the middle of nowhere then try some online shop. I don't know of anything good on amazon. They suffer the same logistical issues as buying coffee from a grocery store. For all you know the coffee was roasted months ago.

i agree.

hello /ctg/
I am very new to coffee, how to I get grinds out of my espresso maker? When I put an empty portafilter in and take it out I can see a little bit in the basket. Should I just run the one cup setting without the filter to purge it?

Tea is better

>>17884010

>>17911729
Just made some coffee with this phin for the first time in like 3 years and it was foul

>>17912061
As in, there's some left over after you dump the puck? Or as in, there's some of the portafilter basket holes blocked with coffee?

>>17912211
>Silk oat milk
you deserve nothing

>>17912277
basically, when I dump the puck and clean the portafilter, there's no grounds left. I put the portafilter back in the machine, take it out again, and now there's some tiny grounds again.

>>17912298
Ok cool. So yeah you're getting grinds up into the group head. You can do a few things:

1- Your machine probably comes with either a "blind basket" or a "cleaning disk" - the former replaces your normal basket, the latter sits inside it, but both will run the machine up to pressure without letting any water pass through. You can do this - usually called "backflushing" on a regular basis

2- You can buy a "puck screen" for an inflated amount of money - it's a fine mesh screen cut precisely the size of your portafilter, and it can do a couple of things - pretty much rid you of the problem you describe, or also potentially reduce channelling. I own one, I use it every day, I kinda think I'm a retard for spending thirty bucks on a wire mesh circle but I now clean/backflush my machine much less than I used to

3- You could also reduce your dose a little - you'll probably find that if you put in a gram or two less coffee, there'll be no, or less, contact between the puck and the group and it will greatly reduce how much stuff stays up there. You'll probably have to grind finer to maintain the same ratio at the same time, and you might find your puck will be wetter afterwards than it was before, but that's also something you can fuck around with.

Just ordered some stuff. What will I think of it?

>>17913518
What kind of geriatric manchild are you?

>>17913755
you disgusting retard. the filling to pastry ratio (or even filling to filling to pastry ratio) is way off its not even funny. just eat a bowl of baked apples at this point, there is so little pastry that you will never have an even amount of pastry to apple in every bite. also the icecream placement is wrong, it will fall off/have bad distribution per bite again the ratio is off.
the plate is at least 1.5 times too small for a slice of pie + ice cream of that size, it is just small enough to be not 100% comfortable at all times.

>>17913799
If I were your baker, I would put you in an oven and tell you your screaming is disproportionate to the amount of pain you'd be experiencing, it's not even funny

is it pronounced king grinder(the king of grinders) or kin grinder(you and this grinder have such a close connection that it is your kin)

>>17885283
>4 tablespoons of sugar,
Dude...

For me it's the same two retards

should I get a pricey espresso machine if I really want to make my own coffee but don't necessarily have the proper counterspace

>>17914437
Get an aeropress

I bought an aeropress and now I like sucking cock, what did I think of it?

>>17914597
>I like
>what did I think of it?
It sounds like you answered your own question, you like it.

>>17914437
define pricey

>>17914693
There is no reason for an expresso machine to cost more than $100.

>>17914700
why?

>>17914765
Because you can get a used Flair™ Neo for under $100

>>17914796
You can get a Flair 58 plus melodrip plus puck screen plus 3rd place USBrC championship trophy for $30 on facebook marketplace. You just need to know where to look. Then you can return or resell all of it for retail.

I like cappuccino

>he thinks it's two people

>>17914865
For me it's cortado

>>17914796
but I want to steam milk

>>17914909
Get a Bellend stovetop steamer then

>>17884010
Is it worth buying something dedicated to cold brew or should I just keep using my french press which gets the job done?

>>17914986
Buy an osma and fuck off.

I would like to buy a manual lever espresso machine, but I don’t know which one to buy

>>17915570
Aeropress

>>17914700
6/10

There's no reason a good pasta template should cost more than 6/10.

I can't tell the difference between freshly ground and brewed coffee and instant. I regularly drink both.

>>17915832
You probably have AIDS

Just received these
What will I think of them?

>>17916233
>round
I prefer angular

>>17916233
Let me know how they are. I've been searching for a fig/tobacco noted coffee for a while now. Had one at a fancy coffee shop once, but couldn't find it again.
>>17914986
Depends. How big is the french press?
>>17911729
>>17912264
>>17907333
>>17910526
It is you. Nice to see an old face. My only thought is the phin had weird residue or dust on it.

>>17914876
for me its latte(or cortado if im lazy, or macchiato if im really lazy)

>>17915570
flair 58

>>17916233
>light roasted colombian
never seen that, every colombian i see is medium or ultra dark
>medium roast guatemalan gesha
is that just a different spelling of geisha? because the geisha that i have had have been great, but the last time i had beans from Guatemala they were fine, they didnt really have enough of a distinct profile to set it apart from like colombian or costa rican, but perhaps i just got beans from a sub par farm.

>>17914621
That doesn't help

>>17916434
>never seen that, every colombian i see is medium or ultra dark

>>17916529
what

>>17916724
Colombians are a highly melanated species

>>17916758
speak retard to me.

I've never seen rare steak. Every steak I see is medium or ultra well done.

>same 3 schizos every thread.

>>17916899

>>17917114
oh look the third schizo.

>>17917309
Yes, yes, all 77 unique posters in this thread are three schizos.

Maybe you grind up your meds and stir them into your coffee

>>17917498
3 schizos with 26 devices each

>>17917509
It's actually just me with my PC and 76 phones

>>17888148
I use a De Longhi one, it was about £250 but fuck me it shits all over any other machine I had.

>>17916434

i knew it. who's the schizo now huh

We are, Steven

If i make v60 and my coffee tastes weak and underextracted but my coffee bed is solid and sludgy, what can i do?

I've never been a part of /ctg/, but I remember it used to be coffee/tea general and can't remember the last time I saw that. When did it change?

>>17918044
Your technique is probably fine. You're getting symptoms of overextraction and underextraction because your grind size distribution is too wide. Get a better grinder.

>>17918272
I have a Wilfa Svart I thought they were decent? This is my second one too (first was replaced).

>>17918044
post pic of coffee bed

>>17914002
Your kin grind my beans every morning when I wakeup

>>17918315
Already had my morning cuppa so no pics but basically identical to this.

>>17914074
Don't say things you can't take back. Once damage is done, it's done

>>17918310
I don't have experience with that grinder but it does look pretty decent. Are you brewing dark roast? That can also result in excessive fines (causing sludge) even at coarse grind settings.

>>17914700
My kettle alone, pictured here
>>17918327
was $48 (CAD) and it was one of the cheapest I could find on Amazon and in stores that was mostly stainless steel (finding one completely devoid of plastic is impossible unless you get a shitty sub-one-liter goose neck for $60 (gay))

That's just a device for boiling water. Manufacturing selling espresso will do hand wavey bullshit to justify why their plastic costs more than other plastic - because it does more advanced things (makes espresso).

>>17918212
Did it make you feel better?

"hmm he is having problems with his v60 and is asking for help, i should post an extremely popular v60 tutorial so he can watch it and improve :)"

yes as it turns out if you are having problems doing x people will post very popular guides on how to do x properly so hopefully you too can do x properly BECAUSE YOU FUCKING ASKED FOR HELP YOU STUPID CUNT
actually kill yourself right now. i hear the tea general always has an open spot for knuckle dragging mouth breathing retards like you.

Uhh.. hey um, Mr. Water Kettle sir. I uh, need a little hot water. You see, I have these coffee grounds, and they aren't being used for anything s-so if you could just g-give me *tweak* s-some *tweak* hot water, I'd really appreciate your generosity

>>17918044
Could be a few things:
Coffee : Water ratio is off
Lots of channeling
It's actually over extracted, and you're confused
You ground too coarse, but your grinder makes tons of fines

Probably more, but it's likely one of those

Ideal ratio of grounds to water for cold brew?
1:4 is for cold brew concentrate but I can never quite seem to get it right for non-concentrate.

>>17918994
1 parts cold brew 2 parts water, poured over ice

Yo dawg, we heard those limp fgr wrists had trouble moving burr so we put burrs above your burrs so you can grind while you grind.

Picked up an Arita VDC-02W at goodwill the other day for $2.00 and made my first cup with it. 20/300, 30 g bloom and didn't time the draw down but it's a pretty solid cuppa.
>I also used 3 year old preground coffee from a tin for it
>>17919477
Kind of interesting given the research showing a more uniform grind distribution if you pre-grind very coarse before going finer...

>>17918680
WHO SAID THAT

>>17919808
Ummm... Me :3

>>17919309

>nervously sips single origin espresso tonic

>>17919477
the... the fuck?

Anyone have a tea or coffee area in their bedroom? Pics or examples?

>>17921757
that's a fucking brilliant idea

>>17921757
I used to make coffee in my bathroom but moved to the kitchen

>>17921904
Actually not a bad idea. There’s a bathroom attached to my bedroom with no door separating the rooms (it just has a sink/counter and unused shower). I can set up my area on the counter in there. Thanks anon

>>17918994
start with 1:1 with milk and see how it tastes.

I accidentally bought grounded lavazza oro
will it be bad
(v60 drip)

>>17922462
buy whole beans next time

>>17922462
You only have one brewer? Regardless, it's not very high quality to begin with so I really don't think it matters how well or not well you brew it

>>17922462
it'll probably be too fine of a grind for a v60 pour but you can always fine-tune the end taste by adjusting your pouring times/temps

>>17922462
aeropress

>>17922696
Uhh.. hey um, Mr. Tank Driver sir. I uh, need a lift. You see, I have these legs, and they are getting kind atired in this dessert s-so if you could just g-give me a l-lift, I'd really appreciate your generosity!

>>17905367
Tried their medium Sugar Bee espresso blend. I didn't like it as much as the Mexico single origin. My favorite is still Raven's Brew Deadman's Hand dark blend though so I dunno about my taste profile
