AndrewP posted:I just got an Aeropress. Who's got the good techniquez? I do this as a non-inverted (standard recipe) - Cap Aeropress with two filters and wet them - 15 g coffee grounds in, ground significantly finer than pour-over - Pour 240g boiling water very quickly and cap with plunger (do not plunge though) - At 1:00, give the Aeropress a classic "Rao spin" and plunge for 35-45 seconds

Tried a few different things this morning and the best one was inverted - 14mg coffee, 200ml water, 1:00 brew time. When I did it the traditional way it seemed like too much water was getting into the cup before I had a chance to put the plunger in to stop it. Inverted just gives a little more control in that respect. Also I don't really know what I'm going for in terms of the taste, I just know that the first two I tried traditional seemed too acidic (I think). Like bitter on the top end. Hard to explain.

Maybe it's not ideal, but I had fun playing around with an Aeropress recipe randomizer that I think was inspired by some dice Hoffman put together. Some cups were better than others, but none were outright terrible at least. Looking back I should have taken notes and compared my experience with recipes to try and identify how each combination changed things up.

tried a few different coffees in an aeropress today, 20g coffee:100g water, 2 minutes inverted, press over 100g ice extremely good and delicious, i hadn't done any of this bright fruity stuff immediately over ice before and it's fantastic. also barely takes any time at all compared to the Clever i've been using for most of these batches eke out fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Mar 26, 2021 |

For espresso, is decaf coffee typically harder to extract than regular coffee? I drink regular and the wife drinks decaf, and it seems like I have a much easier time dialing in compared to her. Seems like she gets consistently under-extracted shots at much finer grind settings. We have a Niche Zero and for me it seems like I get decent results with most coffees somewhere between 17-20, but for her going down to 12-13 still results in sour under-extracted stuff. Have tried with a medium roast before, and now with a dark roast and she's still having the same issue. Watched her puck prep and tried to give some pointers there but didn't see anything grossly wrong.

Is the Baratza Encore still considered the minimum choice for a "real" electric burr grinder? I bought a $60 Mueller off Amazon and while I'm not unhappy with the coffee it produces, I haven't found a single way to use it without coating a six foot radius around it in coffee grounds every. Single. Time. Even if I stand there and hold the basket up as high against it as it will go with my hand and then slap the hell out of it to get all the grounds out before removing it. I've read that that's to do with cheap plastic developing a static charge. I didn't want to drop $130 right away because I wasn't sure I'd end up drinking coffee every day, or be able to tell the difference in grinder settings, but I do and I can.

I've read that that's to do with cheap plastic developing a static charge. If static is your only issue I've heard of people adding a drop or two of water to the beans before grinding. Haven't done it myself, but people in this thread have reported good results. If you decide you want an Encore you can keep an eye on their refurbished section. They're $99 and good as new.

so with dry process coffees, when you start to get more red wine/raisin/plum flavors, is that because the fruit's gone longer into fermentation than 'cleaner' ones, or is it just different varietals/terroir? i got several different ones and the ethiopians (halo bariti, bekele halo) are super clean fruit/floral, while the other two (uganda sipi falls, burundi kayanza) have more wine/raisin/etc. the latter is still really nice tasting, just very clearly different eke out fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Mar 28, 2021 |

Question for Technivorm Moccamaster owners- I just picked up the 10-cup KBG model under the wrong impression that the half-moon/full moon switch at the bottom was to adjust for pot size, when really it's just carafe temp. No basket adjuster switch, since I didn't think I'd need it. We make mostly 6 or 4-cup pots, will this thing be able to brew good batches at that size without any mothering/fiddling?

No basket adjuster switch, since I didn't think I'd need it. I believe that’s the model I have, though I might confuse some of their models. 1.25 L, glass carafe, square tower, auto drip control. When I checked that switch at time of purchase (2019) I had the same conclusion you reached: carafe temp only. I had some reason to check it again recently and stumbled into documentation for a newer model, and it sounded like newer models might also use that somewhat for water flow control? Unsure I almost always brew around 45g of coffee against somewhere between 750-1000 mL of water, on the finer side of fine-medium. I’ve been perfectly happy with the results.

No basket adjuster switch, since I didn't think I'd need it. I converted my KB into a KBG (see details in this thread, if you want--you could convert it the other way, I'm pretty sure) because the basket adjuster is not as useful as you might think. I usually make 6-cup pots (750mL, from 44g coffee) in mine, and they come out great. You won't have to fiddle unless you want to really try to optimize flavor, pour-over style. Wildly different batch sizes (like 2/4 cups vs. 8/10 cups) will want different grind sizes to achieve optimal flow rates given differing masses of grounds, but if you're always brewing a similar size pot you can just find the setting that you like and leave it there (or only adjust it as much as you would for different bags of beans anyway).

Thanks both, I'll give this thing a shot then. I've been happily using a linear formula with our Cuisinart and relying on the "1-4" switch to strengthen the smaller batches, but wasn't really sure what specific magic that switch performed, if I can do the same with a finer grind that's no big deal. Also just realized I'm going from 5oz "cups" to 4oz with the Technivorm, so really our old 4-6 "cup" pots are in the top half of its expected range. I figured out where I went wrong with my research regarding the switch, I was looking at the "KBG Select" on their website which has a carafe size switch in that location (but the icon labels are a carafe rather than a circle).

Try using the Hario 01 filters. It's smaller but it can still fit almost 30g of coffee. Here's 300 for $15. https://www.amazon.com/100-Count-Coffee-Filters-3-Pack-Sheets/dp/B077PQGTMC/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=v60+filter&qid=1616975469&sr=8-10

Hello, thread. I have an Izzo MyWay Vivi PID II espresso machine. As per tradition, the steam arm is on the right. Due to the way it's placed in my kitchen, I would really, really like the steam arm on the left. Ideally, steam and water would be swapped, but if water dies in the process, so be it. My machine looks like this:  I've notice that the fourth generation has the steam and water swapped:  Inside the machine there are two hardlines running from the boiler to the steam/water. I'm curious if this would be an easy conversion if I could get my hands on the parts from the fourth gen. Does anyone have a picture of the innards of the fourth gen?

I had the same thought re:Aeropress (also about owning my own espresso machine): all that... for this tiny little drop of coffee? I mean I only became a coffee drinker this month but I pretty much always polish off a 60 ounce travel canteen before lunch. Ain't nobody got time for a fussy method that only yields a single (admittedly great) cup. For weekends or when time isn't an issue I prefer the Clever Dripper anyways.
