Coffee Making Equipment

My V60 just came in the mail. I didn't get the special kettle nor a scale because im kinda poor at the moment.

I tried brewing the coffee using a regular electric kettle by just pouring it out very slowly and it kinda works. My V60 did not come out as good as they make it at specialty shops, but it's also because I didn't use freshly ground beans (no $$$ for a burr grinder) and didn't really measure the amount of water I used. I might have to make some more investments/improve my technique

Any advice on how to make a better pour over at home is welcome.

I wouldn't consider it worth it to get a pour-over system without a gooseneck kettle. It's the little things that count in pour-overs.

Just graduate from high school already and get a fucking siphon.

>>8081034
What the fuck is a siphon

>>8081232
A meme

>>8080780
I've been using a Hario v60 decanter for a little over a year now and it's pretty legit. Much cleaner coffee than french press and it's great for straining cold brew as well.

As far as I can tell, Chemex is just an overpriced pour-over.

Out of all the coffee methods I've tried, v60 is my favorite, though I've heard Kalitta waves are good too. make sure you get a burr grinder that can grind coarse enough. If you're making more than one cup at a time, don't fall for the hand crank grinder, annoyed the fuck out of me having to grind for ten minutes every morning.

Get a v60, scale, gooseneck kettle, fresh beans to grind at time of brewing, and a ~$100 burr grinder.

Also, coffee brewed in a v60 over ice blows cold brew the fuck out.

>>8081686
No one said looks are a big deal, I was just replying to (you)r shit post.

>>8080799
>didn't use freshly ground beans
bitch why even bother

I like a v60 because I can make a cup so strong I'm in danger of shitting myself and then a pot of good coffee for human consumption. Aeropress taste better but I want to make more than a cup at a time and don't appreciate the failure mode of spray near boiling water and coffee grounds everywhere.

>>8081756
>the failure mode of spray near boiling water and coffee grounds everywhere

This happened at work and sprayed all over a coworkers desk. His reply was just "Shouldn't you probably do that in the kitchen?"

>>8081756
>aeropress tastes better

Am I fucking up my aeropresses or something?

It gets a decent flavour but it just always seems kind of...flat or something.

Stovetop espresso and V60 both have much stronger flavours for me, kind of feel like I'm fucking up the aeropress

>>8081765
you try upsidedown style or a finer grind?

>>8081679
>coffee brewed in a v60 over ice blows cold brew the fuck out.

you fucked up as soon as wrapped your lips around the aeropress dick.

>>8081789
not them, but I'd sooner give up coffee than visit worldaeropresschampionship.com. that's some serious end stage capitalism shit right there

>>8081776
It's a much different flavor than cold brew, you compensate for the ice melting during brewing, hario makes a brewer for it but I just use a v60
>>8081778
at most a week off roast from local roaster + many others. I've tried it brewed by myself in a filtron and from multiple coffee shops. I just don't like cold brew.

i got a french press and pack it away on work trips. although my parents have pic related which does a slightly better brew desu

>>8081575
Please for the love of god kys

>>8082560
This is LITERALLY the best list I've ever read on any coffee thread on this board, no sarcasm. Mods sticky please

You know there's a lot of best ways to make coffee but the important part is really that it's something you can do when you're dead tired in the morning before work.

anyone have any conclusive tests of bloomed grounds vs just put them in the bottom and pour water over for french press? the first takes longer so I'm wondering if it's worth it, I've always bloomed them with half the water just because it's said to be the proper way

>>8082560
i bet if I had milk to drown the coffee in my moka pot wouldn't suck as much dick

>>8083201
Why don't you test it yourself? Prepare two pots with everything the same except for that.

>>8083202
Might as well use drip

It's weird considering you bring the coffee up to a boil, but the coffee itself is really smoothe and a tad of sugar gives it that 'turkish hole in the wall' coffee taste.
really recommend - but beware that the grind has to be extremely fine (like, instant cocoa fine) for it to be tasty.

>>8082560
>>An Italian or just likes burnt fucking coffee?
>Moka pot
I'd agree with you - but you can minimize this effect significantly by making sure the step in the process of boiling the water goes as quickly as possible.
In order to do that you need
>kettle
>stove
start boiling water, add coffee to little filter and pour in boiling water in water compartment
>work fast
close (use a tea towel to prevent burning your fingers)
get a HIGH heat going on your stove that is narrow enough to under burn UNDER your moke pot/percolator
get the water up to a boil (can be sub 30 s)
once percolating starts happening, take off fire for 10 s, then run the lower compartment under the tap for 20 s
>pour
doesn't need sugar - no burnt flavour, no bitterness.
this is the best moka method I have found.

>>8083503
>That much flame
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Lower the fucking flame to the minimum.

Translation:
Low heat
Add lukewarm water and sugar and stir
Add coffee and DONT STIR
When coffee starts to simmer, STIR
When coffee rises a bit, remove from heat and bang twice on tabletop, then return to heat.
On second rise, remove from heat, bang twice and serve in a manly way.

You shouldn't say such things.

What would you experts say is the easiest way to get good coffee in the morning?

I prefer espresso or strong black.

I love coffee but have been too lazy to bother making it at home and I know next to nothing about the different brewing methods so could use some advice and guidance.

Thanks

>>8084428
Thanks for your fantastic input.

>>8081521
you couldn't sound more like a shill if you tried

>>8080780

The first and most important piece of coffee making equipment you need to get the best out of a pour over method is a quality burr grinder so that you can freshly grind your beans for each use.

I would also strongly recommend a gooseneck kettle and a thermometer to ensure you start with water at the correct temperature and can control your pour effectively.

As for V60 vs Chemex, the real question is how much coffee do you need the ability to make at once? Chemex has the advantage of offering much larger carafes that can be used to brew a lot more coffee at once than a V60.

They are also generally regarded as being more beginner friendly than a V60 is.

I use a Barzata Virtuoso grinder and an electric gooseneck kettle along with my 10-cup Chemex, and the results are pretty spectacular.

>>8083513
>get a HIGH heat going on your stove

This is the crucial bit.

So easy to fuck this up by not having a hot enough stove.

I usually find you get the best cup when it's hot enough that you the pot makes a noise as soon as it hits the stove. If you're waiting for the noise to start, you fucked up

Just use instant.

>>8083717
huh, thanks! saved.

>>8084457
>that you the pot makes a noise as soon as it hits the stove
huh, I've always noticed this when brewing one, but never thought it would be a crucial part/sign to it being hot enough.
it all boils down to the fact that you want the coffee to be in contact with the water as quickly as possible, before having a chance to warm up beforhand.
any idea why the pot hisses/growls when it stands over the high flame?
fwiw I think it's the tiniest portions of water in the bottom that start to boil on the surface of the metal but immediately cool down

We can't throw the kcups in the trash any more, they have to be disassembled and recycled which takes so long I have to go throw them over into the neighbours yard, but otherwise it's an ideal piece of coffee making equipment

I just realised you're looking at a fancy all-glass percolator (really bad idea - pressure builds up in the bottom compartment (which is usually released with a pressure valve) which could make the glass explode. at 1.5 bar it won't be very likely but if you have too much water/too high heat...

Do people rummage through your garbage to see if you're recycling and disassembling little shitty plastic cups? Fuck if it gets that crazy I'd just get a doritos bag and staple them closed in it.

How is it different to an normal moka?

>>8088156
More pressure coupled with it literally breaking out in a second lead to better extraction of the beans. You get a more diverse shot and its much more adjustable as a regular Moka Pot. I recommend a fine scale and taking notes to increase the quality of your shots.

>less than a thousand
>gold standard
It might be a half decent budget model, but it's not winning any awards for being among the absolute best machines.

If we're talking about an industry "gold standard" it'd probably be something like a Linea. Might not be the best either, but it's up there and ubiquitous enough that "standard" is fitting. Slayer could potentially be too, it's not as widespread, but it's universally known to the third wave espresso nerd crowd.

Ignoring the "gold standard" part, even in that budget at least a Crossland CC1 has ok enough temperature control. Breville Dual Boiler or Astra Pro are straight up good for only a little past it.

Personally I'm a fan of some vineage levers, had some shots from up I'd throw in a ring against most of the Slayer shots I've had. But it's a bit of a learning curve and quite the process to use every time with some occasional quirks.
