Visual GNUdio posted:This explains the deal. Laptop is running Artisan for process control which talks to the roaster via USB. Artisan both records sensor data returned from the roaster and controls the heat/fan/drop/stirrer devices on the roaster in response to a profile I've created for the specific bean. It runs mostly automated but I occasionally need to make adjustments using those buttons and sliders. Because Windows owns and supports actual touchscreens instead of emojibars, I do that by mashing my finger on the screen. this is the first unreasonably expensive thing i actually want, it just screams "owns"

Zam Wesell posted:just got myself an aeropress. this thing is awesome. depends on recipe, but for the most common methods (just using it, and the inverted method - which i can personally recommend) you want it medium-fine, kind of like table salt in general though it’s pretty forgiving so you can gently caress around and 1) make it finer if you don’t feel flavour or 2) make it coasters if it’s hard to push or too punchy

some rules of thumb for grind size water temperature, again in really simplified terms - 95c is "standard", but in practice the range is roughly from 80c (very dark roasts) to 99c (very light roasts) for water weight, you can just set up your pour over on a food scale. keep in mind that there's going to be like 1-3 second lag for a generic kitchen scale, while it registers the increase and stabilizes. also, ideally, don't flood your scale like i did a few months ago

mediaphage posted:in the states that's smaller than a medium, the large is often 900mL, some chains will go bigger. i know, i briefly lived in puerto rico. my first american large cup was a 1.75l monstrosity at firehouse subs. it was made out of plastic, because paper would’ve not held that much liquid. that same time and place was my first encounter with a coca cola freestyle machine (at the time i had no idea those exist). im fairly sure i had like a gallon of soda right there, and walked back home with a full cup

imo below gaggia you can come quite close by just spending a few afternoons with a $30 aeropress, it can get you a fairly good fauxpresso

between a decent filtered coffee and an espresso crime imo choice is straightforward  most machines in "cheaper than gaggia" segment can't even muster necessary water pressure

mediaphage posted:the brevilles do make a good shot. but they’re more prone to failure, harder to repair, and literally impossible to modify if you want to add features. the one sage (what they’re called here) machine that i know is really nice in its price category is dual boiler, but that’s like triple the bambino plus/gaggia classic pro, quadruple basic bambino. since a lot of people itt live in na, used gcp in minor disrepair will likely undercut anything breville sells (their cheapest machine here is 350 euro), while losing, imo, only given heavy milk stonk consumption

but yeah my comment was targeting what i see on local shelves, which is an occasional random manufacturer 200 euro semi auto that’s probably going to fall apart at 9 bar water pressure

that said, i have special snowflake taste according to modern sensibilities, so ive been ordering everything vaguely hopeful i can find. basically, i hate sour coffee but can perfectly tolerate a bitter cup, which is precisely the opposite of what 3rd wave coffee people value. we have some genuinely good local roasters here in latvia, but all they sell is yigracheffe, acacia, and geisha, and my coffee taste is like “hungover italian on a wednesday morning, 1974, colourised”

i have a few more bookmarks to try, but at the moment i have one okay option from, unsurprisingly, italy, but the only “wow this is great” coffee for 2021 for me was a seasonal espresso blend that’s out of stock. at least i know which cultivars/farming process i should pay more attention to now

fisting by many posted:in general though, if you're not craving 100 grams of sugar, no. btw this reminded me of my first visit to starbucks, on a scientific conference in puerto rico. i accidentally ordered extra large ice cream float that was 1800 kcal (checked later), thought i ordered coffee, and couldn’t figure out for 5 minutes how to drink it, since i had only been given a straw and i was dead convinced it’s just a cup of ice cream i wonder how deluded did i come off to people in the goon slack i frequented at the time, hysterically posting photos from starbucks at 7am eastern and asking stuff like “so guys, uhm, where are table spoons traditionally kept in smaller starbucks cafes”
