Do any of you add things to your grounds before brewing? I tried putting some cinnamon in a pourover today at my aunt's suggestion and it was all right. I don't really know how much to use and don't want to use my good beans for fear of ruining the cup but I might mess with it a bit more.

She also mentioned choffey(?) which is cocoa beans roasted like coffee and that sounds pretty good to add.

When latte art becomes that complex, it becomes chiefly art to be appreciated more than a beverage to be consumed. I see where you're coming from, as it defeats the purpose of making the drink.

>>8618417
On the darker roasts I put a very small pinch of salt to take the bitter edge off. I'll try out the cinnamon for sure. I've heard mixed things about choffy, I haven't had it myself.

>>8618471
Turkish coffee doesn't have normal crema. It's a combination of the grind size, the brewing method, and that the grounds and liquid are not separated during brewing.

You can get a crema-like foam from moka, but crema only occurs with espresso.

Why are coffee videos on youtube so ill informed and terrible?

Just now I saw an woman making an espresso drink with underextracted brown piss in lieu of espresso and another video where someone was cleaning out their french press by scooping out the grounds with their bare hands.

Turkish coffee rarely gets reduced to exact gram measurements, it's usually rounded to somewhere around 1 tablespoon of coffee for every ~150ml of water, and a normal amount of sugar for that much coffee would be about 1 tablespoon.

The trick is to pour off / spoon off the crema as it builds, to leave surface area for the next crema. The crema is essentially water and coffee bonding, with the emissions of carbon dioxide stretching their bonds. The sugar elasticizes these bonds and helps promote a full bodied crema. You want to agitate the ibrik / cezve as little as possible during brewing / pouring.

Aeropress is somehow underrated and overrated in the same time.

Love the clear cup when I'm not in the mood for espresso. I haven't looked at my french press for a minute now.

Coffee: 20g
Water: 230g @ 79°C
Brewer: Inverted
Filter: Paper

Heat water to 79°C
Add 60g of water
Turbulent wiggle for 15 seconds
Allow 30 seconds of bloom
Add the rest of the water in 10 seconds
Press down for 45 seconds

Total brew time - 1:35
>>
>>8619782
I have aeropress and i don't follow that suggested brew time of 1:45, i let the water stay the same amount of time as in french crap press
around 5 minutes and coffee comes fantastic also i use metal filter i like to get the oils in my coffee you know the full package.
to me eliminating coffee oils is the same as eating white bread eliminating all the other nourishing ingredients
that are present in the whole wheat flour.
only morons would prefer to drink coffee where the oils are removed.
>>
>>8619806
You know I do have the metal filter but I can't say I have used it more then twice.
I'll give it another shot!
>>
>>8619810

yes the metal filter comes with the aeropress.
as you know you will get some coffee grinds coming through but i just ignore them since they stay on the bottom of the cup, similar like in french press
>>

I'm gonna get exposed as fuck.
Can't wait to play with it, hyped for new gear.

oils are fine, in espresso

coarse grind brewing methods like french press are a cancer though, and intentionally overextracting with your aeropress just shows you suck at making coffee

Poorfag here, will buying a hand grinder worth it if most of the time I can only afford cheap beans? Like the ones from ikea?

Sadly coffee culture is not big in my country so freshly roasted beans from local roasters are expensive as fuck.

>>
>>8623702
A hand grinder is great, a hario skerton can last you a long time.

You can buy unroasted beans for awfully cheap, and home roasting is easy, and works well if you have good ventilation and don't mind a mess.

Depends on your method. For pour over or no pressure immersion (french press), right above 200 F is perfect, 205 is ideal but anything between 200-205
>>
>>8623775
>>8623782
I'm gonna add that you should allow compensation for the pour. Pouring a hot liquid usually lowers the temperature by 2-3 degrees F, so if you have the water in your kettle at about 208 you should be good to pour.

It will likely over-extract more quickly that you want, leaving you with less of the desirable solubles extracted by the time the bitter flavors come on. Just bring the water to a rolling boil, then let it sit off the heat for about 45 seconds before pouring.

Somewhere between 207 and 208 is where you start extracting bitter flavors right off the bat, when it usually takes some reaction time for those to get pulled out.

Till now I was just boiling water in a pot on the stove and as soon it started to boil I was pouring into my aeropress
but I'm going to buy thermometer and experiment with prescribed temperatures around 205F.

In a way makes no sense to me because when I use my moka pot water boils way past 205F and I use same coffee grounds size
as in my aeropress, why one method is OK with very hot boiling water in moka pot and other not higher than 205F in aeropress.
>>
>>8623886
For aeropress you want a little bit lower, 195-200, so pour closer to 202

Moka pots utilize pressure and a small exposure time. For a partial immersion method like an Aeropress, you utilize a steep time before you apply the pressure. It's a very unique method of making coffee actually, because usually pressure and heat at applied equally at the same time.

I recommend steeping the coffee in 200F water for about 1.5 - 2 minutes, with no need to bloom due to it being immersion as opposed to pour over which benefits from bloom because it even spreads water, which you don't need to worry about in immersion.

Instant coffee connoisseur here.
Will all that wisdom with water temps apply to instant coffee brewing as well.
>>

The important thing about instant coffee is the amount added, the temperature of the water doesn't matter because it's already been brewed; you are merely rehydrating and heating to your liking.

But the trick, like I said, is in the amount added. You add a bit, it tastes okayish, like instant coffee. You add a bit more and it becomes unpalatable filth. You add even more and it becomes a surprisingly rich cup of something that vaguely resembles real coffee.

For me, it's the Folgers in your cup(tm), the best way to make coffee. I even use extra non-dairy creamer to make it a more delicious experience.
>>
>>8624758

Recently I have begun drinking instant coffee. Say within the last year. This is not mutually exclusive to buying excellent coffee in boutique shops, which I still do. For me coffee offers form and function. Pep and deliciousness. As it is an acquired taste I have spent most of my adult life chasing Better Coffee. Many dollars have been spent, many free wifi codes have been given. I still do this because it's pleasurable just not a craving. The frequency has changed and I now drink instant coffee at home in the morning. I have saved a lot of money. And now if I do splurge, it tastes really good. I noticed that I had become accustom to expensive taste, and being frugal moderated my lifestyle. I reduced my lifestyle and in doing so saved money and reset my palate.

I suppose I could become a home brewing connoisseur. I could buy an aero press. I could buy a toddy and make cold press. I could buy a lot of things. I could spend my attention fiddling over my caffeine addiction. That for me isn't the point. It's about simplicity in the morning. I boil water, add some grounds. Voila!

Presentation.

Crema is a good sign in a practical sense.

It means your espresso wasn't pulled from a shit quality machine.
>>
>>8625149
Huge bullshit to that.
Machine has almost nothing to do with it.
Coffee beans do, shitty Robusta beans roasted burned charred to Dark roast level are the best to produce this idiotic crema, useless byproduct.
That's why 95% of espresso coffee beans are roasted burned charred to this toxic cancer causing Dark roast level to achieve this stupid creama
like if that was some magical sign of great quality coffee. No it's not, it's more of a gimmick, more of a marketing scam to sell
that sub-standard Dark roast Robusta coffee beans.
You can make espresso with much healthier Medium roast Arabica or Robusta coffee beans as well,
you might not have much of that stupid creama in it but creama is not what good cup of coffee is all about.

FUCK COFFEE CREAMA, IT'S USLESS BYPRODUCT OF COFFEE BREWING PROCESS.
>>
Green Robusta beans are typically 40-50% cheaper than Arabica beans.
The quality of Robusta coffees range from the lowest grades suitable only for inexpensive instant coffee to higher-grown, washed Robusta considered suitable
by some roasters to extend their blends.
Good horticultural practices could produce better quality Robusta but one would not expect to find any Robusta that compares favorably to good Arabica.

meaning that "contrary to popular believe the much-maligned robusta plant is not just for non-artisan roasters owned by corporations MAAAAN. some micro-lots are perfectly capable of producing delicate notes of rotten bananas, scorched latex, and walnut skins, especially from brazil. and don't scoff at brazil, contrary to popular belief brazil is every bit as blah blah blah"

Midsize is the optimal source of beans

Too small = some jerkoff who is experimenting on his own customers. Takes a few rounds of roasting to get it right, and even still, that takes experience. There are a LOT of these rosaters out there

Too big = focused on institutional customers (coffee shops, etc), will ship you stale beans, consistency is preferred over quality so you get overly dark roasts and shitty blends. Often programmatically roasts (i.e. timer based) to cut production costs, which is like cooking a steak using a stopwatch, you'll get it right about 60% of the time

Buy from midsized roasters, kids

I'm roasting at home with pic rel. Nostalgia Popper from Target for 15 bucks.

I get my sumatra green coffee beans from Sweet Maria's.

I like to let it go about 30 seconds past second crack around this time of year when it is cold outside, but in the summer I like a lighter roast generally.

I use a Mr. Coffee but I divert the water to the back of the machine so that it preheats and recycles the water and hits a better temperature. Once preheated I re-divert the water back to the filter basket but keep the carafe out intentionally letting the basket fill for the first 4 to 5 minutes... Once full I insert the carafe and allow the drip machine to work as usual.

I find that this hits a near perfect extraction every time.

If I want to go full metal autist I will just brew a smaller batch and not use the water warming and dripping feature... just preheat my own water and pour over the grounds in the filter basket with the carafe removed. if using a good filter there is no need to prewet. this produces good coffee.. but not much better than the aforementioned method.

A lot of mornings I actually just set it all up the night before and set the delay brew which is a god send on early mornings and a nice feature I have yet to see on even the most expensive chem-ex units...

This works VERY WELL and if you use your own fresh roasted and fresh ground (ground the night before anyway) it will make a much better cup of coffee than anyone using the worlds most expensive units will if they are using store bought roasts.

I always think its funny how many silly faggots on this board think they know about coffee but aren't roasting their own beans. Store bought roasts are shit - end of story - even if the date on them is good.
>>
>>8625853
Roasting in a pan gives you a lot more control than an air popper.

I can't agree with your brewing method though. After beginning to brew my own Turkish, I cannot go back to paper filters.
>>
>>8625866

Even better is roasting by dousing yourself in kerosene and standing next the beans while you kys yourself with a cleansing fire.

Yirgacheffe gets really interesting. The unroasted I have right now starts off light with an almost floral, blueberry / lemon flavor which loses its bite the further you roast it.

Reading comprehension is diffcult.

But just to be a complete cunt, despite your joke being alright, I'll clarify.

>starts off light
Meaning when it's the lightest roast possible, this is what the flavor is like.

This clause is modified by the later statement of "the further you roast it", implying the "light" it "starts off as" indicates a roast. So by reading the entire sentence, you cannot possibly mistake the intent.

Shitposting's weakness is raw, unarguable, autistic definition.

Can relate with espresso. Was in Copenhagen over the WE. Visited Coffee company and many more. My doppio from CC even was without any crema (it tasted good enough to not as make a fuss about it). My machine does better.

I do cold brew but with filtered water only. Does that actually work? It sounds like the acidity from the coffee grounds would simply curdle the milk after steeping for the usual 12-24 hours you need to make a cold brew.
>>
>>8627644
>>8627671
I promise you it works just fine. For some reason it doesn't seem as thick after I filter the grinds out, but it tastes fantastic. I drink it straight up usually, sometimes I'll add sweetened cream.

I let it steep for about 8-10 hours usually. Next batch I'll try for a whole day and see what happens.

I'm only using Avian water to make my coffee and I'm very happy with the results.
Using tap water is wrong way to make coffee.
I'm planing to experiment with Perrier water to see if the gas in it will add or extract extra flavor to my coffee.

Just use a Britta

is that Britta water similar in taste to Avian water
>>
>>8627808
It's filtered, so maybe
>>

I don't have access to filtered water so I just go to a water fountain and use that.

is Britta water sold in glass or in plastic bottles

Quick question guys, is coffee actually an overall diuretic when you take in to account the water you drink with it?

I got a bottomless portafilter and a 21g IMS basked.
Put 18g in it, around 37g in 21sec, blinded way to fast.
Should I grind finer, put 19g or both for my next shot?

How much coffee do you need to drink everyday to have severe headaches when you stop drinking it?

Started drinking coffee regularly only three month ago, two or three cups a day. No headache when I stopped drinking last week because I was too busy.

If your tamp is ~30lbs, yeah a finer grind.
>>
>>8629624
Yeah my tamp is definitely a firm one.
I wonder if I should stick to the 18g coffee in that basked tho. I'll just do finer grind tomorrow I suppose.

Why waste trips on something so idiotic? You're telling me that you actually enjoy espresso without crema? Preposterous. You would drink it, but you would probably come to /ck/ about how you threw it in the barrista's face or something.

It took two 20oz coffees a day in order to start feeling withdrawal symptoms.

You don't sit around sipping a single shot of espresso for 30 minutes dude, espresso is, was, and always will be drank quickly, all the "layers" mixing as you down it.

Espresso is not Turkish, culturally, you do not sip espresso.

3 sips isn't slow. You shouldn't need to mix.

I mean, to be completely honest, the best method for coffee preparation is always whatever you find to be the most enjoyable; that's how so many different methods came to be. So please take my words with a grain of salt.
>>
>>8629816
I do not understand your statements.

Crema is formed by partially-dissolved, very finely ground, coffee beans being expanded by the carbon dioxide they are releasing. This is a very natural part of the coffee brewing process. Because of the high pressure / fine grind seen in espresso (and the fine grind seen in Turkish), this causes a lot of that carbon dioxide to be released very quickly, and in the situation of the espresso, the gas bubbles expand greatly due to the pressure involved, creating a thick foam, or "crema".

You seem poorly misinformed.

>>
>>8629834
>For a long time one of the counter-arguments to those who were against robusta in espresso was that some robusta gave the shot better crema. This is indeed true and the most plausible explanation is down to the oils in coffee. On average robusta varietals contain about half of the flavour and aromatic oils that arabica coffee beans typically have. This means there is less oil extracted into the brew - so less of them effectively attacking the foam and causing it to disappear. Whilst I am not going to get embroiled in the debate of whether it belongs in espresso, in effect adding robusta lowers the overall quantity of oil available to extract from your puck of coffee, meaning you have a higher probability of a stronger crema.

Really gets your noggin joggin.
>>
>>8629859
I'm afraid this actually does nothing to back your argument.

Arabica produces crema as well, whether it's less or not, they both produce crema. Meaning your point of "crema = robusta" is illogical.

Wow so difficult.

Not to mention not a single person considers coffee from Italy to be good, especially since they don't even grow coffee there.

Italians have always drank coffee for caffeine, making the quickest and most caffeinated cup possible. This is how espresso originally began; quick cups to be drank quickly. This first machine was made by Luigi Bezzera in Italy, and it was steam driven and utilized very high temperatures.

Later, Cremonesi designed a piston pump driven machine, produced by Achille Gaggia in 1946. This machine increased the pressure significantly and allowed people to realize that lowering the temperature and raising the pressure brought out flavors from coffee that would rarely be present in other brewing methods.

Long story short, crema is not exclusive to robusta.
>>
>>8629881
>$5
A double shot at any self-respecting coffee shop should be between $2 and $4.

For the highest quality of coffee, you should be making it yourself at home.

The most important point to make is how it must be pathetically sad to be so poor that a $5 charge causes you to rethink enjoying something.
