i bought a big bag of kirkland beans and i neglected to read they were roasted by STARBUCKS

they're not great but drinkable. i wish i kne whow to read

not ideal but when things are too burnt for my tastes i’ll often do a coarse grind and cold brew that poo poo. yeah you’ll still get some of the dark bitter burnt flavours but it’s overall much smoother and bearable imo

I haven’t drank caffeine in years but I’ve been dragging lately and craving for espresso.

Thinking of picking up an Aeropress and maybe a decent enough grinder. What’s the best way to get back into it without breaking the bank.

I also love and miss Irish Coffee.

i mean that's pretty good, probably. there's also the mokapots and pourovers (variable strength, though different from espresso) all of which are pretty cheap (or you could do all of them and enjoy lots of kinds of coffee~~)

probably better off with a cheaper breville machine than an aeropress imo if you really want espresso

need to spend more on an espresso-capable grinder to go with tho not a bad idea depending on price range

i started using a (blade) spice grinder for my pourover instead of my hand grinder or the encore that my neighbor broke a while back and it actually seems way better

im questioning everything about burr grinder hype now

it's all about what you like so if it's good to you, that's all that matters

one thing thats nice about (deece) burr grinders is that you can get a good particle size distribution, so you don't have too many fines or too large grinds, etc. all in the same cup. if you're doing a blade grinder to a moderately coarse pourover grind it's probably less noticeable tbh.

a good grinder is most important for getting good espresso, imo, cheap grinders are less of a deal for other preps

definitely open to folks thoughts and ideas on an espresso machine, where i can literally pour the whole beans in on one end and get a nice espresso (or americano, or capp, or whatevs) on the other end. think im in the market for one rn

the word you’re looking for is superautomatic

imo they’re all reasonably about the same in terms of what you get, some fancy~~ models can actually do both

i’ve used brevilles, gaggias, phillips/saecos, etc and they all made deece cuppa. friend has a deli fbi and it was fine too

drinking coffee from a mug that i made. i think my first few cups had too much caffeine, but i've been able to get good cups with like 10g of beans.

i really don't understand how people have multiple cups of coffee. one cup and i'm :sludgepal:

coffee metabolism can be pretty variable even outside of any effects from constant drankin’ of the brown
