Just try making 1.5L instead of 1.7L and see if you like the taste.

mediaphage posted:correct which is why i explicitly mentioned americano water in my post That's really neat, there's a theory going around the Serious Coffee People that there's a range of temperatures that make coffee nasty, like from 80-93°C, which is why the classic low-temp Aeropress recipe actually works quite well.

fisting by many posted:yeah that makes sense. I got concerned since a lot of sites said you want 91-96 and I thought "oh no my kettle doesn't go that hot". i'm near sea level. maybe it's cooling a lot while I'm fiddling with the thermometer. When's the last time you calibrated your thermometer?

I swear there's an astonishing number of 50-year old Gaggias still trucking. Unkillable things. Sometimes I feel I should jump into the classifieds and pick one up.

Upon inspection, I may need to check out estate sales for the really old ones, they've all probably only ever had one owner since 1967.

PokeJoe posted:restaurants tear open a premeasured pack of Sysco coffee and dump it into an industrial coffee maker with a regular filter. The only secret of the industrial coffee machine is that it has a hot water resiviour that always has the water immediately available at the ideal temperature Big wide shallow baskets and a good showerhead are basically the secret weapon of commercial batch coffee brewing. That and an extremely even grind with the big roller mills that are only worth having at the packaging factory. Basically that super-smooth coffee isn't something you'll get at home, and will never be super fresh anyway. Freshly roasted and ground coffee at home will have way more complex and interesting flavour but it's hard to get it as "smooth" or sweet and evenly brewed.

Corla Plankun posted:i think it was originally a refurb baratza but then my neighbor borrowed it (and appears to have put wet coffee beans through it??? there was a hard cake of bean mud on the inside when she returned it and it didn't work anymore) and now it grinds so badly that there's dust and big 2mm^2 chunks of beans in the same grind. Yeah she broke your grinder. E: it's probably the burr carrier which is a quick and easy fix, or it's the lower adjuster which is much more of a son of a gun to swap

Cheap machines, as a last step, force the coffee through a pinhole to guarantee some resistance to the pump and to artificially whip up the coffee to fake crema, regardless of how lovely the grind was or how old the coffee is. This results in fake, insipid "crema" made of frothed coffee, and soggy pucks. You're going to have soggy pucks, since the operation of your machine is different from the ones where a dry puck is desirable.

Really good coffee has got to be the most affordable luxury there is, and if you aren't buying it from assholes, it makes growing it way more sustainable when you pay more.

It's bedtime in a couple hours, so by god I'm going to make a decaf. It cost me 20$CA for the 12oz bag, and tastes great.

post hole digger posted:I tried that once before, only once, and didnt think the end product tasted nearly as good as doing two separate pulls of the aeropress. i could have just added too much water though. i also usually make my own aeropress pulls very strong compared to drip (11:1 ratio of water to beans, usually 20g beans to 220g water) There's less solvent per gram of coffee so to get the same extraction you need to compensate with longer extraction or more agitation.

HamAdams posted:question for you goons: i have a french press already that i use all the time and love, absolutely no complaints. i was given an aeropress for christmas and i’m debating if i wanna keep it or return it. is there some killer feature of it that i’m not aware of that makes it a significant upgrade over the french press? It's self cleaning and makes a filtered cup of coffee. It also weighs nothing and is unbreakable, but maybe you never travel.

akadajet posted:percolated coffee tastes loving awful, how the gently caress was that ever a thing? When your coffee is commodity-grade and cheap, which was how Americans liked it in the 20th century, it doesn't much matter how you brew it, it's going to taste pretty bland. However! You can definitely brew better or worse with a percolator. It's a different vibe, but done well I occasionally enjoy it.
