I went to the local roaster to have a pourover like I planned. They didn't have Guatemalan beans like I'm working on now, but they did have Peruvian beans that I struggled with through the whole bag. It turns out that Peruvian beans are just not really that good? The overextracted aftertaste was my fault for leaving the filter over the carafe for too long, but all the sour-bitterness and the soupy thinness that I blamed on my Hario hand mill are all there. Still better than Folgers I guess.

Agitation kills uniformity almost as much as using a hand grinder, which is why drip coffee makers tend to be so disastrous, and Hoffmeme's recipe calls for swirling the whole brewer during bloom and only lightly stirring when it's all the way full.

I drink 5-7 cups of plain black Folgers per day, which I think most people would qualify as 'shitty coffee'.

Do I like the flavor? It might as well not even have a flavor beyond "it's hot". If anything, if it tasted better, it would get in the way of drinking it. In fact, curse you for making me momentarily aware that this drug I'm currently sipping has a flavor. It's like having to deal with breathing manually.

Plus, let me tell you the advantage of Folgers. It's cheap. It comes in very large containers. It's pre-ground. Classic Roast always tastes exactly the same, every time.

Today’s bed. I tried Hoffmeme’s technique and it got a little messy on the sides. In terms of taste I definitely think I’m getting a less bitter brew. The acidity isn’t overwhelming or unpleasant either. However I think it might be getting difficult for me to pick out specific notes as these beans are almost a month old.

[Anonymous No.18101110]

First cup out of the Breville, looks like 36 is too fine of a grind. Very bitter. No real aftertaste though, so it probably wasn't the drawdown's fault. This machine just has too many grind settings. For pure brewing I should have just gotten the Encore.

I’ve had the Jmax for a few months. Shouldn’t be in bad condition.

Maybe it’s more of an issue on coarser grinds.

What is the meaning of life? Still too fine for a flavorful filter coffee. Why can't these all-purpose grinders scale logarithmically between the espresso and brew settings? You shouldn't need to piss around with minute adjustments for a good pourover. This is why inch pattern rules and metric users stay poor.

[Anonymous No.18101355]

>>18101262
I have one but I mostly use it for espresso. Not sure if I could recommend it for just pour over given it’s designed more for minute adjustments and that can get pretty annoying when switching from espresso to pour over but as a grinder I don’t really have any complaints so far. I’d either save some money and go for a Jx-pro or invest in something nicer like a Commandate.

You should obviously have an idea of your own preferred tastes. From there it's a matter of filtering out by country origin then region then process etc. Eventually you will find the exact process of beans from a particular region as your favorites.

If you're only drinking blends to save money this is a pointless exercise since most blends tell you fuck all besides "maybe" what are the countries of origin. Your only option is to buy a bunch of garbage and get a general idea of your favorite roasters.

Normally you'd use a phin filter, but this only makes one fresh cup at a time. I've seen the people at the restaurants pull out a gallon jug of premade coffee (sweeteners and all) and just pour it over ice. And it doesn't taste the same as what gets made with the filter.

Aeropress is fine for camping since it is nice and compact and relatively easy to clean. A plastic or metal pourover cone would also be good for camping but the filters for it are much more bulky. You definitely need to get a better grinder than either of those though. The basic 1zpresso model is pretty much agreed upon to be the bare minimum for a cheap hand grinder.

If your beans are good you can make good coffee from pretty much any brewer. The real variable is the grinder. It can make your good beans into amazing coffee or turn them into complete shit.
Like the other anon said, I would not bother buying any grinder under $200. They are all trash and you should just burn your money for heat instead.
Personally I have a 1Zpresso JX that I use for my fishing trips once a week. I prefer french press because there's no filter I need to remember and I can just dump the grounds anywhere. Aeropress is also an option but I cannot fathom why anyone would be willing to brew hot coffee in a plastic tube and whatever other thousand goodgoy chemicals, but you do you.

I'll probably integrate a raspberry pi running artisan on this one instead of bluetoothing into another computer. I have no clue what I'm doing, but following guides is easy.
Sure, you could buy a much nicer e61 machine and drop $400+ on a sep and use your phone to log pressure, but a $3 arduino, $14 pressure sensor, and $25 display will accomplish the same thing.

When the parts are $1-4 on aliexpress, its usually smart to order two. Offset my thermocouples with a $50 kitchen thermometer. Pretty simple.

In this case you do have something to verify your parts against. But in the case of a pressure monitor it means building one of those pressure gauge portafilter, assuming the pressure at the portafilter and at the boiler is the same (I've heard pressure reading can vary depending on where you measure it).

Well I guess it was a good thing I didn't waste 150+ on a nitro cold brew keg
Espresso is good and honestly easier to make.

That said, I'm getting a little bit bored of espresso/cappuccino/latte. Any other basic drinks I can make from an espresso base?

The clientele was too concerned about being seen out in public to ever make coffee at home. Also the coffee wasn’t anything special.

>Data demonstrate that roast degree as well as roast speed both have a
strong impact on the absolute amount of released gases and on
the release kinetics. The darker the roast and the shorter the
roast time (for fixed roast degree), the larger the amount of gas
which is released and at a higher rate.

>Light Roasts (Ground Agtron 80+): 10 - 14 days for filter and 14 days+ for espressos. These are really long lasting, some Nordic roasters with ultra-light roasts even have up to 6 months as their best before date.

I roast 95% of the coffee I drink. The other 5% I buy real nice shit to compare my roasts to. Just paid moodtrap $32/100g. Might pick up some aldi's breakfast blend to blind test against.

Selling a bag of Aldi Nord breakfast blend (the one with the rooster on it) that I bought in 2017 (great vintage) for the low price of $1.5 million. If you can't afford the good shit that I sell then you're just poor.

The bali I roasted up on the 10th won't be touched for another two weeks at least. Why is it shocking that a micro roaster might have small 250g bags of perfectly rested coffee ready for sale? I bet its shit from the archive you can't order. Wish I could get my hands on some of these again.

If you're not trashing beans 12 hours off roast you're fucking up. No respectable roaster will disagree.
