can we all agree that french coffee isnt coffee?its boiled water with milk,pretty much.also its light as shit.

>>8888325
Agreed!

French know shit about making coffee.
(but they are experts on eating frogs)

>>8888315

Can someone explain to me why you liberals always try to make a hobby out of nothing? It's the same with craft beer, tobacco, and now coffee. It all tastes like complete SHIT and you faggots spend all of eternity arguing various nuances that don't mean a single thing because at the end of the day it still tastes like SHIT and you're a delusional moron that has somehow convinced themselves that they enjoy consuming this estrogen-laden mind control CANCEROUS SHIT

>>8889286

Is it really necessary to "bloom" the coffee when you paper drip? I always wait for a minute before start pouring not sure what I'm doing.

I finally gave in and bought some true 100% Jamaican Blue Mountain beans. Not cheap, but oh god, the smell is heavenly. I haven't made any yet, because I'm waiting to use up the last of the beans I already had.

>>8889370
don't be silly anon. don't wait to finish the other beans. if you already open the JBMountain package start using now so they don't get stale on you
and tell us how it tastes, it's worth the extra cost

I want to start making my own cawfee. What's a good way to start that I probably won't fuck up?

>>8889286
I'm right wing af and love coffee and craft beer. Get some taste you pleb, or you'll never settle down in a nice suburb with your wife and kids.

>>8889297
That picture isn't bloom, and those are stale grounds

When I'm on like a 3 day old bag of coffee I'll bloom for 30-40 seconds, otherwise it's not terribly critical. The carbon dioxide burns off pretty sharply in the first week

If you're getting that picture, you don't need to wait at all

>>8889385
Honestly, in my opinion, it's the beans and the grind you should focus on first, rather than just the method. I have several coffee makers (drip, moka pot, french press), but unless you buy whole beans of good quality and grind them yourself, you'll still have a mediocre cup.
Experiment with different beans, you'll be amazed at the differences. And don't just buy blends, buy single origin beans as well so you can really taste and smell the differences. And buy a burr grinder, not a cheap blade grinder. You don't have to spend a shit load on one to get a good one. I bought a Cuisinart burr grinder years ago, and it's still running like champ.

OK, I will guide you anon.
Start with baby steps and begin with mastering brewing instant coffee.
buy if you can 100%Arabica coffee, (and freeze dry made instant coffee is better choice)
most instant coffee is made from Robusta beans, better quality is made from Arabica beans.
do some googling on how instant coffee is made, very interesting process.

It was never good, Agent Cooper was just a charming yet always cold and distant law enforcement professional. Being a big city sophisticate he knew what good coffee was, and it wasn't what they had in Twin Peaks. But it wasn't about the coffee, it was about the people.

>>8892113
Also appeal to taste. Show articles about how the pods taste bad and if you want to go drastic argue that it'd be cheaper if everyone had their own coffee pot or french press at their desk in the long run, thus negating the tension for the last person to clean out the pot and start a new batch despite Alcoholic Stan in sales drinking 90% of it and you just wanted a cup.

so called french press uses course coffee grinds, if coffee ground are too fine they will be in your cup.
course coffee grounds prevent better extraction of all the good stuff that is in the coffee compared to finer grounds.

if you are going to buy press coffee maker, but the best there is, and i believe this brand is the best.
it has few design features that are above regular/standard design coffee presses.

It's hard to fuck up in general.

Buy a moka pot or a french press.
Honestly, I personally stick with my Cafe Bustelo or Lavazza. Very classic espresso roasts.

However, they're obviously not the most premium ingredients on the market. They taste great, but if you want to be a snob; Get fresh, whole beans, grind it yourself with any coffee grinding machine you can find online, and brew.

>>8890439
Only reason to do this is to get a stupid dessert coffee or a legit espresso or espresso-based drink brewed by thousand-dollar equipment.

Just about any drink that comes with whipped cream is sweet enough to overpower the flavor of diluted whipped cream when mixed in, and obviously does not need to be thinned out by cream. Mixing it in doesn't bring you much except that, if you don't have a spoon, eating the whipped cream directly may end up with you looking like a child or animal.

>>8894398
This. Like the guy you're quoting, I go to shops not entirely for the atmosphere and experience but significantly for it, but I feel like shit if I buy something I can just make at home. I always get some sort of espresso or specialty drink.

Or you know, you can try beans you don't have at home instead of buying the coffee shop's lb bags at full price ----> running back home ---> running them through your dirty ass burr grinder ---> dumping grinds in your french press or memex and waiting a couple minutes.

Mostly for people who actually have lives and will go on to do other things that day besides go to le coffee shop.

looking for a decent machine for something fast in the morning and I'm convinced this must be the way to go as the coffee i've had from seems to be decent, and looking at the description it apparently replicates pour over

anything else that can be recommended? hesitant about manual pour over knowing the extra effort

>>8890771
get some decent machine because the shitty drip machine is trumped by a keurig actually, but you could still get a decent drip machine and win them over

>>8899400
Define "something fast", I'm not sure a pourover or drip can beat an aeropress for absolute speed. But the better versions of those automatic drip let you walk away and take a shower or whatever, whereas with an aeropress the brew time is like 1:30 to 4:00 depending on the bean and your personal preferences, and you really need to nail that time if you care about flavor. But then there's waiting for the water to boil.

If "fast" means you can be doing other stuff while it's brewing, a decent electric grinder and a Bonavita, Technivorm, or similar would be the way to go

>>8899434
Yeah more the latter

the bonavita seems to be the way to go with its cheaper price, hopefully still the same extraction.

Not to concerned about time really yes, just that it doesn't take that much effort.

Black coffee made with moccona dark roast plus a pinch of cinnamon = goat.

Just got a really nice cup of Brazilian coffee produced in the south of Minas Gerais, which is a high altitude volcanic region. Bourbon beans.

A really nice bean, but I think I prefer São Paulo's beans. They have a nice chocolate and nutty smell, which translates well into my cup.

It's really nice living in Brazil and having access to all those bean varieties, specially when you live so close to the farms.

Thanks so much.
Do you think pour over makes better tasting coffee than moka pot.
I understand there are differences, but is there a significant advantage between them.

I like to add that I like to get the oils in my coffee and the filters in pour over will filter them out.
Are there good proven metal filters for pour over that will let the coffee oils pass through but not add that meta;lic taste to the coffee.

It sounds like you would be best off with a french press, since they use only a metal filter by nature.

In regard to the first question, there are great advantages between a moka pot and a pour-over. Moka pots make a strong brew somewhere in between regular coffee and espresso, whereas pour-overs only make regular coffee. Moka pots also allow for more drink options as you can make drinks similar to lattes or cappuccinos.
One very important thing to note no matter the brewing system: have a good grinder. Especially for a moka pot since an uneven grind will leave the brew bitter or acidic.

I don't have a coffee machine but this doesn't look too complicated. How long do you let yours sit before draining?

Also I didn't even think about heating it up, that's a good idea.

>>8906432
"By contrast to traditional iced coffee, which is brewed hot and then served over ice to cool it down, cold brew coffee is brewed entirely with cold or lukewarm water over a longer period of time.
And as such, you lose most of the acidity or bitterness that comes with brewing coffee with hot water, resulting in a deliciously smooth, sweet, and bitter-free coffee that tastes fabulous over ice."

HOW TO MAKE COLD BREW COFFEE
https://www.kickinghorsecoffee.com/en/blog/how-make-cold-brew-coffee

More or Less Caffeine in Cold Brew Coffee?
The internet seems to vary about whether Cold Brew contains more caffeine or not. Valid question for sure. But, remember caffeine is water soluble.
We know that all the caffeine will inevitably be extracted during the lengthy Cold Brew process. The question then becomes how much coffee we are using relative to our water.

Since with Cold Brew we generally use more coffee than conventional hot methods, we will therefore see more caffeine.
This is why many people use Cold Brew as a concentrate to be mixed with ice and cream, made into a frap-a-something.

>>8906553

Benefits of cold brewed coffee;
Less acidic.
Cold Brew coffee naturally seems sweeter because of its lower acid level. Not to be confused with acidity, which was explained in our learning to taste entry.
Using cold water as opposed to hot makes the extraction process much slower and actually more selective.
The flavor of the coffee is extracted, but bitter compounds are left behind.
This can also explain why Cold Brew contains less acid than when you use hot water.

Hot water not only extracts quite quickly, but also cooks as it extracts, causing a change in chemical structure.
One of the benefits of cold brewing is that the chemical process doesn’t change, since the temperature doesn’t.
You could drink your Cold Brew today and then in a few days and it should taste the same.
Granted you keep it covered. We don’t want it absorbing any funkiness from the fridge.
Cold Brews can last up to two weeks in the fridge.

Even though it may take more coffee to make, you will probably discover that none of it goes to waste.
Makes for a very smooth cup which highlights each of our blends various flavor profiles.

I seriously didn't like coffee until about a month ago. Then, I found this really comfy but hipster-ass coffee shop (pic related), they make really fantastic espresso. Now I just walk down there and enjoy a latte on the reg. I like other coffees now too.

>>8906553
Gimme Some Oven calls the cold brew a concentrate and recommends diluting it, but Kicking Horse doesn't. And they use the same ratio of grounds to water. What's up with that.

Thanks for your contribution anon, but I also have reservations about all that "magic" same as this anon
>>8904768

Also how do the come up with those so very precise steeping times of 40 seconds, 1 minute and 50 sec, 30 seconds.
Where the 10 seconds difference come from, by what scientific method, or why 1 minute and 50 seconds, but not 45 or 55 seconds.
All this "magic" sounds like pure bullshit to me.

For example water temperatures. Looks like first place winner won because she was using hottest water 93 C, (or maybe because she was female). kek
Third place winner water temp of 80 C, Second place 92 C.
Why third place winner wasn't sure how many time coffee was stirred. It says: Stir 3-4 times.
Was it 3 or was it 4 times. Is that so difficult to count and to know the difference between 3 and 4 times.
Not like we are talking dozens of times that you might lose your count., it's fucking 3 or 4 times.

>>8906588
I'm kind of the other way around. I always drank whatever mud was available, black. Obviously I like good coffee better, but always just coffee with no additives. Took me a long time to warm up to the idea of a latte, but then I had one at a hippie-ass (not hipster) coffee shop, and it was pretty damn good. The espresso wasn't drowned in the milk flavor. I don't think them very often, but the occasional latte is a nice treat.

>>8906608

>>8904750>>8904768
>I mean seriously in one recipe they specify the serving temp and in the other two they just leave that out?
And yes I agree with this anon, serving temperature could affect the coffee taste and over all experience if you are being so anal about all the other
very precisely described details and measurements.

I do own Aeropress, and yes it's good coffee making device, but nothing spectacular either.
I still prefer taste of coffee made in my moka pot.
I experimented with brewing in both the same coffee the same grind the same amount of coffee and the same amount of water.
Still like my moka coffee better.

BTW, in Aeropress I use metal filter (no paper filters) so I get the oils same as in the moka pot.

All those highly precise numbers and measurements in that Aeropress competition sounds very 'BS' to me

>>8906610
I suppose the difference was the motivation. You wanted the caffeine, I wanted an enjoyable drink.

>>8906564

>but I think hot coffee extraction is somehow better, gets fuller flavor including the very beneficial in my opinion coffee oils.

yet this asshole in this article disagrees with me. Go figure.

Why Toddy Cold Brew?
During the cold-brew process, time replaces heat. Todd Simpson, a chemical engineering graduate of Cornell, and who developed the Toddy cold brew system, discovered that high temperature facilitates the release of undesirable flavor elements.
A roasted coffee bean contains many compounds that are extracted during the brewing process. Some of those compounds, including certain oils and fatty acids, are soluble only at a high temperature.
During the cold brew process, coffee beans are never exposed to high temperature (this only occurs after a rich liquid coffee concentrate has been produced).

Deceptively simple, cold water brewing extracts the delicious flavor compounds (and some of the caffeine) from coffee beans,
but leaves behind myriad bitter oils and biting fatty acids, including undesirable elements such as ketones, esters and amides.

These are the same bitter acids and fatty oils that surface to the top of your hot cup of coffee, and give hot-brewed coffee that familiar 'bite' (thus the reason that some 8 out of 10 people attempt to soften the acidic taste by adding milk or cream to their coffee).
The cold brew process creates a perfectly balanced and distinctively smooth cup of coffee - served steaming hot or iced cold. You're invited to taste the Toddy difference: the same taste that has delighted coffee drinkers for nearly 50 years.

OK this is getting very interesting now, just found this article;

Coffee Oils and Cholesterol.
http://www.livestrong.com/article/278376-coffee-oils-and-cholesterol/

"Effect of Coffee on Cholesterol
One of the oils found in coffee, cafestol, takes control of an important bile acid receptor located in the intestines that helps to regulate cholesterol in the body, according to the a 2007 study in the journal, "Molecular Endocrinology." In doing so, cafestol raises cholesterol.
Speaking in an interview with ScienceDaily.com, researcher Dr. David Moore notes that cafestol is the most potent dietary cholesterol-elevating agent currently known."

OK fine, but we know today that there is so called bad and so called good cholesterol, and the so called cholesterol is also needed by our bodies to function properly.
I'm not so convinced that the coffee oils are so bad for humans to consume, but that is just mine thinking, like to find more solid info on this topic.

(LDL is the bad one.)

If you drink paper filtered coffee, supposedly it traps all the oils. If this actually is a big deal at all. Which I doubt.

>>8906960
>If this actually is a big deal at all. Which I doubt.

Also would be interesting to get the numbers, the %, of increase - decrease of LDL and HDL levels, are they of any significant levels
or just laboratory numbers that mean very little in real life.

When comes to coffee oils I'm thinking in terms of white baking flour and whole wheat flour.
Whole wheat flour besides other nutrients has also oils inside of the wheat kernel of course not as much as coffee beans have.
So I think by removing coffee oils from coffee by using paper filters might be same as removing all that good healthy stuff from wheat grains to make it white flour.

>>8888293
>Coffee
Fucking kill yourself you disgusting hot bean juice drinking faggot.

>>8907068
>Whole wheat flour besides other nutrients has also oils inside of the wheat kernel of course not as much as coffee beans have.
But maybe here is the secret of coffee oils and the difference between wheat kernel oils and coffee oils.
Sounds that coffee oils are the 'by-product' of the roasting process according to this article:


http://www.livestrong.com/article/278376-coffee-oils-and-cholesterol/
Coffee Ingredients:
"An unroasted coffee bean has acids, protein and caffeine but no taste.
Coffee roasting involves heat to make a chemical reaction that turns the carbohydrates and fats into aromatic oils, according to the National Geographic website.
The coffee bean has natural oils, cafestol and kahweol, that are released during this process. The roasting process is what gives coffee its flavor.
>Coffee roasting involves heat to make a chemical reaction that turns the carbohydrates and fats into aromatic oils
So it looks that coffee oils are not present inside of the green coffee bean, not like oils are present inside of the wheat kernel.

This is quite intriguing, if my thinking is correct.
Wonder if there are any wizeAsses here who know more on this chemical plant biology topic

(no replies from crude oil executives please)

Are they (the fucking coffee oils) there inside of the green coffee bean, or they are being 'created' during roasting process.
