Who else here is having a fine evening coffee beverage?
For me, it's a fauxspresso from a Phin filter, made using 12.2g coffee and filling the filter up almost to the top of the handle with water just off boil, probably 99C. It's way easier to make a single cup with this method than my Moka pot, so I do this when I want just a single espresso.

So I bought one of these cold brew pitchers for my decaf and the first couple times I've used it it produced a pretty much perfect cup. I used a random type of grounds I found at the store, coarse of course, because it smelled good
I tried other grounds and they came out considerably weaker even though I left them for the same amount of time and they were all medium roasts.
This time I tried packing the new grounds into the filter rather than just pouring them in and its sitting in the fridge now, if that doesnt work out i'm just going to stick to the original grounds or maybe let it sit for 36 hours instead of 24

There is no one best way. French press is great, but I like the convenience of pour-over. And then if you're in the mood for espresso it's a totally different style that requires other methods, like a Moka pot or a Phin filter, as OP used. I have all of the devices listed and use them all interchangeably.

I know they're not espresso, they're espresso-esque brewed coffee, like OP said, 'fauxspresso'. Also "It's only espresso if it reaches 9 bar of pressure" is bullshit, 9 bar is not some magical threshold for it to become espresso, that's just the industry standard pressure for espresso brewing.

I made the Phin "espresso" again, properly this time: The trick is to push down on the filter and twist it a few times halfway through brewing.

Ristretto and lungo, though no I highly highly doubt most cafes would bother pulling either because it requires grind adjustment.

its less of an effort thing and more about waste/efficiency. You'd basically have to have a second grinder dedicated to ristretto to ensure its dialed properly as you can't use the same grind for your regular shots and it's not feasible to adjust/dial in every time someone orders ristretto when the vast majority of customers aren't going to ask for it even if you feature it. I mean maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in but that is something that would only make sense for the most elite cafes or hobbyists.

There is some nuance to a good cup of coffee and different flavors to experiment with. Granted some of it is a bit overblown with its presentation and the obvious coffee snobs need to get stomped.

I can drink coffee black if it's good, but a smidge of half&half makes it so comfy.

>>12119084

So I tired brewing this coffee a little different. After I brewed it in the moka pot I put it in a mason jar with a paper filter; to take out some of the acidity in it. Drank it black, and tasted pretty good. Still kinda bummed they sent me the wrong type of coffee, but at least it tastes good.

hey /ck/ I need some advice. My grinder broke so I need a new one. I've been using my trusty aeropress for years, but now that the grinder is broken I'm thinking about getting an all-in-one grinder/coffee maker like pic related. Am I retarded y/n? Has anyone used on of these before?

I have this pot, and i absolutely love it.
Thing is, the coffee comes out really strong obviously, so you need to like it in the first place.
Interesting thing though, is that freshly roasted fancy beans that i ordered online came out mostly too strong to enjoy it, but generic cheap brasil beans i buy 1kg for like 8 euros, is surprisingly balanced, and i love it more compared to the more expensive ones.

>>12130428
I recommend diluting Moka pot coffee if you intend to drink it straight since it's very similar flavor-wise to an espresso. If you're using cheap beans and getting a better result, it's probably because the beans are older and less flavorful than fresh beans. Try making a caffe lungo by adding hot water to some Moka brew.

What kind of water do you use?
I use moka, and i'm honestly using tap water, which in my area is pretty hard, and i'm wondering if it would make my coffee too bitter? I heard that water makes big difference.

I don't really want to spend money on filters. Do you think getting bottled water with low mineral count would be a good choice to just test it out?
