That 60s-70s era table, the bean grinder on the floor and he has a bean roaster. Then I notice there's an electric kettle, but then there's a crowd funded espresso maker right next to an adjustable mirror. Wooden chair that doesn't match the table, check mate! Lost.

Dunno if this thread is still up but how come machines are able to make my black coffee nice and creamy meanwhile my French press it's essentially water thickness. I don't want to buy a big as s coffee machine just for me I hope I can get it creamy without.

that's some serious autism. the only place an espresso maker should be is on the counter, next to the fucking sink (unless you have your kit plumbed in).

there is an element of pressure involved in that brewing system, though it probably would be ok to go generic coffee filter and brew, just you'll want to keep the water portion to a single serving size. you could try something like the picture, it might work.

You didn't even mention how it tastes

Is it normal to dump tons of sugar in coffee?

>>9264206
Boiling is too hot. The manual states that it takes 17 minutes for a boiling kettle to cool to ideal temp. If you don't want to spend money, you can just use like a meat/candy thermometer and a big measuring cup, then stir in a little cold water before pouring.

>>9264224
Considering most people have never had good coffee and use sugar to make the common swill drinkable, yes

If you have good coffee, no

Anyone doing cold brew here?
Is a burr grinder worth it or will a blade suffice?

>>9264230
Eh, I'm fine with having instant with cinnamon but it is instant so I can see where you're coming from.

You really shouldn't keep coffee heated for hours on end, it turns sludgy and horrible.

Coffee water. I use distilled water and mix in sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) into flask at very strong levels, then mix those with more water to dilute it in other flasks. I use BaristhHustle recipes. Namely "pretty hard" for espresso and "Hendon" for brew.

It'll be okay, but not exceptional. The main problem is consistency - the uneven nature of the grind will fuck up extraction.

If that's what you can afford, though, then go for it.

Save up for a little handheld burr grinder. It's a bit more work, but the difference is noticeable.

Is there anything similar I can buy in america? They don't sell it here.

Since there's no /tea/ general i'll report here from another board, not mine but it might interest you

So far i bought two teas from ebay and waiting for third.

First was "2016yr White Moonlight 100g Raw Puer Tea Cake Yunnan Ancient Trees Pu-erh Tea"
It costed me 8usd by that time now its little more expensive. It was my second proper tea I ever bought and at first I had unrealistic expectations so I was bit disapointed but the more tea I drink I'm coming back to this one and starting to apretiate it more and more. If i had to explain it's flavour on tea from teabags it's similar to black tea but not as strong and has this nice apricot smell to it. Right now it's my goto tea when I just want to chill. Now I got about 30g left so I'm probably going to buy more but even higher quality. Oh and I bought almost the same tea for yunnan sourcing but bit more expensive and it tastes like garbage. Like glue or something just bleh. Never again.

Second is "2017 100% Organic Taiwan High Mountain Jin Xuan Milk Oolong Tea Loose Supreme".
This tea has such strong smell that it punches your nose imidiately after unpacking. I never experienced anything like that. It has this strong sugary and milky smell. Like if you put sugar into warm milk I guess. It has the same aroma after brewing but taste is more natural. Like oolong. If you never tasted oolong before its something between green and black tea.. honestly hard to explain.

RIght now I'm waiting for "Supreme Organic Wuyi LaoCong Shui Xian Shui Hsien ShuiXian Chinese Oolong Tea".

it's not fucking espresso.

>>9278897
Italians have mokas at home not because they think it's better or even comporable to espresso but because they just go to the bar for espresso. Some folks like moka better because they're used to it and they find espresso too strong but generally it's understood there's no comparison between espresso and moka.

I usually make instant coffee because I'm poor.

Girlfriend just got a job at Starbucks. She doesn't like coffee that isn't 90% sugar. She's giving me the free bag of beans they get every week. What tools do I need to buy to put this to best use? I know the phrase "french press". I think it presses beans probably.

Tell me everything I'm doing wrong folks (don't say "LMAO PLEB BUY AN ESPRESSO MACHINE" I'm student and couldn't come close to being able to afford it).

I threw up in my mouth a little

>>9284777
Those or Lavazza Arabica Caffe Espresso beans yes.

What would you recommend instead?

>>9284744
Hario grinder sucks. Pick up an Anonymous grinder (CDM item, but easily available) for $75.

something not sold at a fucking supermarket is start...

buy specialty freshly roasted single-origin coffee instead, it probably won't even be that much more expensive
you can't get good coffee without well... good coffee
supermarket stuff always sucks because it's been sitting in some dusty werehouse for many months

Properly brewed Turkish is not bitter; it's the proper presentation of the coffee's flavor.

Just don't use very darkly roasted beans, and don't use too many grinds until you become accustomed to the crema. Unless you own a proper pump-driven espresso machine, you won't ever go back except for convenience's sake.

Teacher here. I can't have a drip pot in the classroom and too poor to afford any specialty machines.
What's the best way to get the best tasting coffee in the morning?

Cold is fine.

>>9286375
Cold Brew for sure, then. You could cold brew a bunch and keep them in the fridge at home and bring one each day to work.
