Looking at getting a small, cheap de longhi machine for about £200, anyone else had any experiences with them? Comes with extras like a steam jug, knock box and sexy metal tamp. Not sure if it's worth it though if the arse is going to fall out of it after a few uses. Also unsure if it needs to be plumbed in or not? My previous machine had a resevoir that generated around 4 bar of pressure and needed to be manually filled at each use. It died when I tried to steam milk before it had reached pressure and it sucked milk through the wand into the resevoir, the milk then cooked onto the metal inside and I couldn't clean it. RIP my old friend.

So you need the ability to grind coffee fresh, get 205f water, and hit 9bars. You don't need to drop 800 on plastic to do that, and you can do it with way finer variability for less money. Grinder is an upcharged waste of money, integrated tamper is junk, bottomless portafilter costs you another $90, and its lines are plastic. The best thing about it is the reflection the brushed steel gives off as it sits on your counter unused and dusty. Real ambient.

Yeah.
Most lever actuated machines are piston machines.
And most of them, the lever compresses a spring and lifts the piston, the spring forces the piston down to expel the water.
The Flair machines are direct lever.

The comment you replied to specifically mentions 2 lever machines, not "lever" machines. What the fuck is your comment even trying to say? Boilerless straight piston "machines" don't have boilers to steam milk and are spring pulled? One half of that is obvious, the other half is incorrect.

Is there a trick to this?

[Anonymous No.14451828]

make sure to check your grounds after about 2 hours, sometimes they float to the top and form a hard puck
push them back into suspension if they do
otherwise you can go up to 36 hours, wouldn't do much more than that

[Anonymous No.14451850]

Yeah.
Looks like that model has a helper nozzle on the steam arm.
They do not help.
I always found it helpful to start my frothing by making a whirlpool in the milk pitcher. Lift the pitcher, all the way so the arm bottoms. 1/3rd of the way across the pitcher. Drop the pitcher 1/4". Knob slightly open. Swirl formed. Knob open more, lower pitcher until the sound just changes ("finding the sweet spot"). From here you'll need to keep lifting the pitcher as long as you want to keep steam frothing.
At the end, lift the pitcher while closing the knob, then remove the pitcher, wrap a damp towel around the nozzle, open the knob to purge, close the knob, wipe that arm off.

With the froth aiding arm tip, you "just" put it all the way in and it does what it does and you are probably using too much steam.

There is a replacement tip for the steam wand.
I think Gaggia calls it the "latte art pannarello".
You can take the shroud off and get a traditional steam wand, or leave the shroud on and get the easy-mode steam wand that doesn't do as well.
Probably $20, but I think you can get the same parts kit from Saeco for less.
There are youtube videos of how to steam milk.
Easiest to start with 2% or 4% ("whole") milk, and once you've got it down you can try 10% (half and half) or higher (heavy whipping cream).
The right shape and size pitcher helps a LOT. You need to leave room for expansion, so don't start over half full.

Best of luck, anon. People dumber than you have learned, so I like your chances.

Don't believe the memes saying that they are pure shit. It just so happens that this is the brewing method of choice for those either starting to dip their toes into specialty coffee on a budget, and those who are trying to show off but haven't a clue what the fuck they're doing.
They can make good coffee, but you need to get your ducks in a row before you begin.
>The press
Generally, they all function the same. You will find little difference between these outside their volume. I'd suggest a 1 litre size, but 500 millilitres is also fine. Just don't get anything smaller. Yes they look cute and can fit in a drawer at work, but the brew ratios are fucked.
>Coffee
Get yourself some good coffee, I'd suggest a nice medium because you'll be brewing for longer than other methods and darker roasts are just a bit easier to over-extract . If you don't have a grinder at home, ask the place you're buying it to grind it to french press. If you've ordered in coffee form somewhere else, you can always ask politely if they can grind it for you, if you buy something from them too. Once ground, stick it in an air tight container in a cupboard.
>Brewing
Get yourself a set of digital kitchen scales, a pen, paper and the stopwatch on your phone. What you want to do now is just keep track of the weight of your water used, weight of coffee and brew time. If it tastes sour, bitter or just like shit, you have it written down so next time you can try something different. Rinse and repeat.

Enjoy your press fren.

100% I'm on a heavily modded popper and happy. I know guys who have wired in to a breadmachine to only use the paddle for agitation, and use a heat gun jammed in the top. Works great.

I have a Flair NEO with the pressure gauge/bottomless portafilter. The NEO comes with a pressurized portafilter by default, which might be OK if your grinder can't grind for espresso. The Signature and the Pro both have a normal portafilter, which relies on the grinds to provide your back pressure.
Otherwise, you'll absolutely need a grinder that can do a good espresso grind, which will either be a high end hand grinder or electric grinders in the $400+ range. When I first had my Flair, I had a Baratza Encore, which can technically grind in the espresso range, but it doesn't have nearly enough adjustability in that range to consistently pull shots in the right time range.

All coffee needs a good grinder.
The autists know what they're talking about.

There are good tastes in coffee, and bad tastes in coffee. The goal is to get the good tastes into the cup, and leave the bad tastes in the beans.
If you have a mix of big (coarse) grounds and tiny (powder) grounds, the powder will be extracting the bad tasting parts while the coarse grounds haven't extracted any flavor yet.
Good grinders make coffee grounds that are all very very close to the same size.

Picked up one from an auction cheap, like 100USD, if you can get it for that price it's worthwhile. But the grinder isn't really suited to just grinding a bunch of beans, 'cause the way it's set up it spits out exactly enough to fill the cup, then stops. So, if you have a french press, then you need another grinder, and you can see the problem. If you only want this machine though, it's a pretty decent model.

Is it really a bad thing to linger in a coffee shop? I'll sometimes kick back and read for a couple hours and have a few drinks. It's nice to get out of the house and enjoy a change of scenery.

[Anonymous No.14474773]

>>14474576
I won't linger if it's busy. Otherwise I see no issue.

I've been to coffee shops where all the tables are taken up by laptop-people, seating that would've accommodated multiple people taken up by one person for hours, people rushing to drop their bags to save a table then order, people rush past pregnant women to beat them to a table, and plenty of other egregious things.

But lingering is nice on slow days.

Yes. The worst part is that, it brainwashes people into thinking the need of the capital is their own need and get mad at people not spending money even when they aren't going to make any money themselves from those people spending or not spending money and thus have no stake in it.

I dont't think the owner would mind either if you order 2 or 3 coffees and something to eat during that time.
That's how you make regular customers nowadays I guess.

Now that I have a laptop I'm praying to be able to do it anytime soon, it's been a while since I could enjoy a good cup of coffee in a good place.

The only time you should be putting sugar in coffee is if it's instant and you need to curb the stale, bitter flavours or if you're having a Starbucks style coffee. Flat whites are acceptable with sugar too.

I drank it at first because I needed caffeine in the mornings and thought it was more healthy than /sips/, didn't like the taste much. But I definitely developed a taste for it over time and like it a lot now.

How do I adjust my coffee brew?
I’m using a Baratza grinder and a chemex and my brew comes out a tad bit bitter. I’m using some medium roast beans with a 1:15 ratio

Ideally I want more of the coffee flavor with the same amount of strength

[Anonymous No.14481143]

>>14481059
If it's a burned flavor, reduce water temperature. Otherwise maybe try a slightly more coarse grind. If it's still bad, try different beans.

[Anonymous No.14481795]

>>14481143
hot water won't cause a burned flavor. That will ONLY come from over roasting

For me, it's the Dunkin Donuts Original Blend. I've tried nearly every kind in the store, and all different roasts from around the world from some specialty roasters too. I come back to the Dunk every time though, you just can't beat it. This is the perfect roast and blend.

Hello /ctg/

I recently got a french press and a grinder, and I want to calibrate my method to get the best out of what I have.
As far as I can tell, I can make the grind coarser or finer, or I can adjust the ratio of water to coffee.
Which is best to adjust first?

Are you allowed to have an electric coil stove in your dorm room? I know for a fact you're allowed to have a kettle. That gets you legitimate espresso. You could go the cheap fgr route for a while and go with the pressurized flair basket and get away without a grinder until you can shell out for it.

i'm actually just moving out of on-campus housing into my own place real soon, i didn't really bother with making my own coffee the past 2 years since i didn't have a kitchen and any appliance that had a heating element other than an electric kettle was banned
i have a full kitchen now and can make coffee using pretty much any method within budget, so i want to get back into drinking/making my own instead of overpriced bullshit on campus especially since half of the places are probably going to be closed anyways
it's probably better for me to just get some cheap shit like cafe bustelo or store-branded dark roast grinds until i figure out how to brew well using the moka pot before i go and buy a grinder or any fancier equipment/beans
