i used to think decaf was pointless but lately i find myself craving something to sip on in the afternoon after i've already got a day-long buzz going from my morning and brunch cup i understand it now

i dunno what it's like in the us but in korea the starbucks "reserve" (for the locations that had it) was its own little counter and they'd make you a proper glass of coffee, with the carefully weighed grinds and the precisely heated water and all that. you could choose chemex, siphon or regular pour-over and then they'd only let specially certified baristas make it. definitely worth paying an extra dollar. i lived near a flagship location and once got served by a 3* coffee ambassador. i guess he was one of the highest ranked starbucks baristas in the country. anyway he made a good cuppa.

i will vouch for nespresso making perfectly decent coffee i only wish it was easier to sample their flavours, they've got like 60 different varieties and 50 of them are only available as 10-packs from the nespresso store

been having those single serve pourover things twice a day while quarantining. they're not bad as far as single serve coffees go, just wish they were a little bigger because you can only pour a third of a cup with what you get. today i broke down and got one of those 1L ice coffees that's half sugar delivered for my afternoon fix

bought these beans just for the label (also because it was $11/kg). the name is a bit presumptuous, but it could definitely make coffee minister.

i've never broken a french press but i've also never had a particularly good cup from one. maybe I never figured out the right size & brew time.

mediaphage posted:what about it did you find unpalatable? i found my french press would usually come out bland, and also contain a bit of sludge. if i brewed it for longer it'd be more bitter but still lack discernible flavour. using coarse freshly ground beans and boiling water.

i finally acquired a gooseneck jug so that I could attempt a real pour over coffee for the first time in my life googled some stuff, found wildly different suggestions for grind size, temperatures and pour time, picked a grind at random had to do some geometry to figure out how much water was in my ice cubes because the tray has multiple sizes and what are you going to do, weigh ice? (yes, that's exactly what you should do. ice is matter. it has mass.) realized my $15 kettle doesn't actually go to 100C but maybe gets to 91 or 92 if you run it a couple more times after the first auto-shutoff discovered it's actually quite hard to maintain a 2 minute pour without running out of water, even with the gooseneck anyway somehow absolutely nailed it, strongest least bitter most flavourful coffee i've ever had that wasn't made by a cafe barista (and better than a few that were)

Progressive JPEG posted:91-92 territory might be normal? since getting 100 would imply measuring the temperature of the steam 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. food scale is essential!

MindSet posted:use like a 1:4 ratio, same gind you use for french press (I have a Niche zero which is for espresso, so for me that's a full rotation backwards past the largest size on the meter, basically the largest grind it can do) steep overnight in the fridge, filter. Dilute what you make with ice water when you drink it because that poo poo is concentrated and will send you to the moon. I usually do 1:8 and 18hrs and it's okay. 1:4 and 14? sounds interesting. That's a lot of coffee though. But I will give it a try.

tried the 4:1 cold brew (12.5 hours) yields a disappointing amount of concentrate after much of the water is absorbed by grounds. mixed 5:2 with water though and it's very full-flavoured and powerful. tastiest batch yet. i wonder if 6:1 for brewing and 2:1 serving would taste just as good while theoretically yielding more coffee

hmm... tweaked my cold brew a bit, went from 30 grind/ 12h to 32 grind/ 13.5h. feels a little less bold and flavourful than the last batch, i wouldn't have thought that slightly larger grind would need much more time to extract. still good though.

ThePopeOfFun posted:having (less) coffee. even 15g dark roast gives me the jitters, fills brain with all thoughts at once. will use this as an excuse to buy more Onyx beans probbly if you're not too picky about flavour you can always cut it with decaf for me part of the relaxation/routine is having a giant mug to sip on. doesn't necessarily have to be loaded with caffeine.
