Tig Ol Bitties posted:I work in a kitchen supply store. We sell Chemex, Aeropress, various french presses, mokapots, and Capresso automatic drips that seem to always break. Last night, I had a man ask for a unique coffee maker. I offered him the Aeropress, and told him one of the cons was the clean up. He scolded me and told me that "One should never clean any coffee maker! It builds a patina! Never tell your customers to clean theirs again!" Are you saying that an Aeropress is hard to clean?  I find it to be much easier than cleaning a french press, and just as easy as cleaning a Clever coffee dripper. Though he is crazy about wanting a patina on it.Hey, does anyone have a recommendation for a good hot water kettle that lets you control the temperature? I'm looking at this Cuisinart model and was wondering if anyone had a better idea. I'd like to keep it at or below $100.

I just ordered one, and I'm going to be very annoyed if it arrives looking like that.

kirtar posted:I just wasn't sure if tea kettles would heat to a proper temperature. Looks like I need to put in an Amazon order If you're willing to spend the money, I've been using this Cuisinart electric kettle for over a month now and it works great. The "French Press" setting heats the water to 200 degrees, which is perfect. As a bonus it also has settings for various kinds of tea.

hotsauce posted:So my Rancillo Silvia (brand new from Seattle Coffee Gear) only registers 182 degrees at its hottest point when dispensing water. I've tried steam and hot water delivery ... same thing. If I "temp surf" by waiting 30 seconds after the book light goes out the water comes out at 164 degrees. Wait, so the steam wand only dispenses water at 182 degrees? That sounds like a big problem.

Starks posted:So I just got a batch of guatemalan coffee from my local roaster and it says on the bag that the roast date was yesterday (When I bought it). However when I make it using my normal french press method there is almost no bloom, and this is freshly ground like a minute before making it. Is this normal sometimes or did I get ripped off by a fake roasting date? Could it be something wrong with the way I'm making it? From my experience with stuff I've roasted, anything that's 1-2 days old will have a LOT of bloom. I don't know what's up with your roaster, but it sounds like your beans are 2+ weeks old.

dhrusis posted:I just jumped in head first to the world of coffee roasting. Bought an air popper after watching tons of youtube videos on it and reading about it on sweetmarias forums. Looking very forward to it.. Thanks thread! You've been on sweetmarias but you're not getting a sampler pack? Shame on you.

You might as well just use the embedded controls. This video was posted before but it's good to see again for how dumb and decadent it is.

This is probably so much money for such bad coffee, oh well you buy these kinds of things for convenience not quality.

that Vai sound posted:Since a pot of coffee is supposed to go bad quickly, why would a thermos work better? I'm genuinely curious because I'm going to give it a try for work. I might have a 35-45 minute wait from brewing to drinking. A pot of coffee goes bad quickly when it's sitting on a hot plate the whole time. If you pour it into a thermos, or brew directly into an insulated carafe, it will stay good for a lot longer.

Copper Vein posted:Question for anybody here. From a coffee flavor standpoint, is it even a good idea to keep water at the ready at 208F for hours even if the equipment was up to it? All the coffee and tea shops have a boiler keeping their water hot, but that doesn't mean it can't negatively affect the flavor. I doubt that keeping the water under a boil is going to negatively affect it. That's only a concern if you're keeping water at a boil, or re-boiling it multiple times.

Steve Yun posted:I dunno about Krillin, but for my glasses I only get one of any type of each glass, so every single glass in my cupboard is unique and that gives me a little leeway to have a few intentionally stupid glasses in there I'll admit it does look unique, but to use it you'd want to only fill it like 3/4 full so you don't make a mess.
