AnimeIsTrash posted:What price range are you looking at? Generally for espresso you want consistent finer grinds which requires expensive burrs. this also espresso roast is going to vary between beans and roasters to be whatever makes the best tasting espresso tbqh i assume you mean for grinding dark and oilier beans?

obviously yes. i recommend the oxo gooseneck. it’s got a good design and is very easy to use. i assume they sell it there but i don’t know. can’t say enough good thing about it. the breville works but is slower because it’s a larger quantity of water plus with goosenecks you can easily do pourovers making this post thread appropriate

actionjackson posted:I'm getting this one nah this is a bad kettle for pourovers because a gooseneck kettle provides a constant rate stream regardless of what angle you pour it in along with better control. looks ok though i guess. you’re not interested in that so it doesn’t matter i assume tho. six temperature settings are probably enough for tea although i do like having the flexibility of anything up to 100°C there’s a thread in gws but gently caress the haters this is a dirty hot water thread for all comers

i have been cold brewing canadian breakfast tea in the fridge over night lately and it’s delightful. strength without bitterness. more on thread topic however cofe1  cofe 2  cofe 3  we ran out of beans yesterday so since i woke up too early i roasted this morning. i try to avoid that since coffee is never as good on the first day but this bean is unusually drinkable immediately after roasting. with that said the flavour has already improved by this point and tomorrow it’ll be excellent.

if this is a work thing and you don’t want to deal with brewing stuff the answer is to get a nespresso. they make totally reasonable coffee if you insist on getting a discrete coffee unit device. most other pod things are awful.

man getting good at home coffee makes me despise getting coffee out. like i make better pizza than most places but i don’t getting pizza if you’re out with friends or whatever. but the delta between bad and good coffee is so vast it just makes me think about what i could be having instead

i will drink starbucks from time to time. or have, it’s been well over a year at this point. but i stick to iced stuff on hot days and ignore all their fancy reserve and clover poo poo because it’s all way over roasted. if i had to buy their beans because i was someplace with no roasters i wouldnt be too upset with the maroon guatemala bag. but that’s it.

they just do it on their clover machines which i’m sorry but do impress me. also any reserve beans ive ever bought have been roasted insanely dark and the prices are obscene. simply not worth it over their normal coffee imo

lord funk posted:one thing i'll admit is that milk drinkers probably have a better experience with starbucks. charred beans are okay if you froth in a bunch of sweet whole milk yeah i don’t know but just hearing the orders when i’m there makes it seem like black can’t be a huge majority of their orders. i like some cream in my morning coffee but if i’m getting a bux in the summers i tend to stick to black iced americanos.

Best Bi Geek Squid posted:looking forward to tomorrow morning's cup i had three shots at 8pm after my run and i'm totally ready for bed now (i am aware that's probably about equal to a cup of brew) even when i don't have any caffeine for weeks at a time, all i get from drinking too much is a headache or stomachache. where is this magical wakefulness people talk about

Midjack posted:that was me up until a few years ago then megadoses gave me headaches and somewhat abruptly after that started caffeine after 9pm meant i wasn't sleeping that night. enjoy it, but keep that in the back of your head if you start having trouble falling asleep. i don't sleep too well anyway, though that doesn't change whether i've had caffeine that month or not. it's just never affected me much at all. still, it's something i keep an eye on

Chris Knight posted:get a refurb base breville unit and use ground beans. works great! this is not a bad way to go but the solenoid valve is prone to failure ime. op i know this is not necessarily what you want to hear but i would look for a deal on a gaggia classic/pro. they are not cheap but you can often find refurb, used or sales for a good deal (which is why i bring it up as even if you don’t want to get one now i’d keep an eye out). it will last forevvvvvvver. then later on get a capresso with as suggested preground beans or honestly just use your cheap grinder in the interim. it’s not as good as a purpose built but it’s way better than say starbucks. also a reasonable affordable option depending on how often you want espresso is to get a nespresso. and if you mostly drink americanos or don’t necessarily require the crema or the super intensity of a straight espresso shot, an aeropress is a solid, low-cost choice

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:I appreciate the info; that sorta thing is possible for me, ...I just want hope to get something near it without so much money yeah i mean it’s hard to figure out where the right spend is. we have had a super automatic and it’s fine but it’s a pain in terms of figuring out when something goes wrong, so i don’t really ever recommend those. the real question imo is the quality delta between the really cheap (but “real”) espresso machines you’ll see from rando brands someplace like walmart vs entry level aficionado machines like the breville vs high quality (but still “cheap” compared to what a lot of coffee nerds try to push) like the gaggia classic pro. but $450 usd is a big ask!! anyway discounting the grinder for the moment i’m not sure there’s a huge difference once you hit a certain level in terms of flavour but you probably do get a big difference in terms of durability and ease of repair. you also get more differentiation in terms of steam but i literally never use the steam wand on any machine really. haha too bad about the aeropress. i like it but it is kind of a pain. cheap though! out of curiosity what did you not like about the nespresso? (no judgment we all have our likes) i find the capsules to be pretty varied in terms of how much i like it. certainly as good as the basic superautomatics you find at small restaurants and the like.

minivanmegafun posted:hey coffee snobs you might have good luck with that. i find that even most good roasters put out what i'd consider really subpar decaf beans, and most way overroast them in an attempt to get some flavour. if you're up for doing your own roasting you can get really great decaf green beans in (it's not like your local roast is decaffing them themselves). there are a few mail-order companies you can try, but i can't recommend any since i mostly just roast my own and haven't tried them. with all that said, i do buy a bag of level ground decaf from time-to-time when i run out. it's good enough, or at least the stuff i have had, that i consider it reasonable coffee, not merely "good-for-decaf" coffee. they're a canadian company and do all the standard feel-good stuff:  https://www.amazon.com/LEVEL-GROUND-Jitter-Ground-Coffee/dp/B00V69MEJ4 edit: just noticed that's a link to pre-ground stuff. assuming you're in the us, their beans may be available elsewhere, so worth getting if you see imo, as it's a good decaf. mediaphage fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Mar 19, 2021 |

knox_harrington posted:Ethiopian coffee is lovely. Though I've only had it from a cafetière, guess it may be too light for espresso. you can make great espresso from basically any region. also, there’s a lot of variation within specific areas that we typically associate with coffee, which can make an impact, especially vis-à-vis things like elevation
