Depends on what type of coffee you like, how many people you're making it for, how much time you have.
I like the Aeropress if I'm making an americano-style coffee for myself, but it can only do one cup. The Moka pot is better for multiple people as you can set it and serve nice concentrated coffee for 2 or 3 people, also if you like your coffee strong this is better than the press or the aeropress.
Personally I find the french press a pain in the ass, it never works for me. Always comes out too bitter or too watery. I can see it being a good solution to multiple cups of americano though.
>>7840909
I'd like the French press more if it didn't have a weird cult following of elitist faggots, makes good coffee though
this >>7840914
Coffee brewed in a moka pot and coffee brewed in an aeropress are similar.
The big difference is that moka pots come in various sizes.
Cafetière
I like my french press, I'm not experienced with the other two
Comparing french press, drip and keurig though the press is significantly better
Aeropress has the advantage it can be used without a burner - like in an office with a Keurig, you can use the shit machine just to heat water and get decent coffee.
I like the moka pot, but I'd say the Aeropress has a slight better flavor because it's more controllable.

Who does this?
French press
I have an Aeropress and a French Press.
I really prefer the Aeropress, you have to go full fucking retard to screw up making a great cup of coffee with it.
>>7841063
i like the sludge
>>7840909
All three. Those are the best home brewing methods out there if you don't want to spend a fuckton of money on an espresso machine.
>>7840909
For some reason, when I make coffee with my moka pot, I got CRAZY headaches. After three times, I just threw it away.
I always liked the french press better but my metal mesh part got bent or something so too many ground bits come out.
Now what I do is turn my aeropress upside down and let it sit like a french press before attaching the filter and flipping it over. It's alright but I don't get to enjoy the sludge anymore.
I broke the plastic handle off my moka pot turning it like an idiot.
One day I hope to purchase a new french press but until then I'm using it for tea.
Personally i juggle between a pourover cone, french press and a moka pot. But my morning ritual starts with a french press. Personally it just doesnt feel like a morning cup of joe if it isnt full bodied and robust. Each methods has its merits and i choose which ever based on my cravings and the beans i have.
Pourover cone: Brighter and cleaner brew. Great for fruitier beans. Takes a fair bit of practise but its so worth it once you get it done right. But the paper filters tend to remove some of the oils from the bean, making it have less body to it.
French press: Even though metal wire meshes arent fine enough to catch all the fines from the coffee grounds, it lets more oils from the beans through. Flavours more full bodied and it has a thicker mouth feel. I like having it with nuttier and chocolately blends. And if you just leave the last mouthful, you dont really get much of the fines.
Moka: Whenever im in an espresso mood. Or if i feel up to it, i might heat some milk and froth it up with a french press and pull a flat white.

With the inverted brewing method, It's like something in between regular drip coffee and espresso. Whatever it is, it's badass.

someone explain to me how a mocha pot isn't a percolator
>>7840909
French press but it requires good quality coffee beans. It pretty much is hit or miss so you just have to try a bunch until you like one type the best.
>>7840909
Aeropress for versatility and control.
>>7841952
I don't believe percolators produce concentrated coffee from medium-fine coffee.
Also, moka pots produce 1 bar (14.5 psi) of pressure for extraction. While percolators just boil the water.
>>7841952
Mocha put puts water through coffee under pressure once.
Percolator cycles coffee through grounds at atmospheric pressure many times.
How the fuck do I brew a good cup of coffee?
It just ends up as bitter shit when I try.

Use more coffee, about 2Tbs per cup of water.

What stops me from doing a concentrate in an Aeropress?
>>7844238 (You)
And then diluting it.
>>7843122
Both good for a standard clean cup, but they're not very flexible methods of brewing. I can do a 15 minute brew in an Aeropress with coarse beans to extract a lot of different interesting flavours from the beans.
>>7842618
That means you're under-extracting the coffee. Do a finer grind or let it steep for longer. Not that I recommend Starbucks beans though.
>>7840909
I have an Aeropress but i dont like using it because i once used it for making scorpion pepper hot sauce and now anything i make with it burns.
>>7844270
Soak it in warm soapy water for a bit and rinse it with hot water after. Do that a couple times (changing the soapy water) and it should be fine.

Goes to a coffee thread. Can't take proper decriptions of different brew method. Why dont you just suck the beans instead. Not that you would notice a difference.
>>7844270
Ahahaha, im more curious about how you used the aeropress to make hot sauce. Did you use it as a sieve..?
>>7844423
Pretty much, it was closer to an extract for just adding heat to food, i needed to strain in and dripping took way too long.
>>7841435
Fucking mouth feel. Get fucked.

The perfect triad of faggotry
>>7840909
I just heat some water on the stove, put the sugar inside the water and pour it into a filter on a plastic support for filters that fits on my thermal coffee server.
I have the moka pot lying around somewhere, not even sure how I use it to be honest.
>>7842490
Have you tried sugar? Coffee is bitter shit
I just cold brew using this thing then strain it using cheesecloth. Works well enough for my purposes
>>7841435

What's the best and easiest way to clean out a French press? I usually just shake it over the garbage can and then stick my hand inside and scoop the innards out.
>>7847551
>stick my hand in
Dude what the fuck, what's wrong with using civilized tools like spoons/teaspoons?
Anyway, I get most of the liquid out, then do what you said but using a teaspoon to scoop out the leftovers and then wash it like any other beaker
>>7847551
I pour some water in it, give it a swirl and chuck it over some plants to fertilize it.
>>7847551
Running it through the dishwasher does wonders. Gets it cleaner than I ever could by hand.
I got a double walled stainless french press and it is fucking amazing. The coffee is still hot when you pour it.
>>7847810
This
>>7843240
Pretty good, bit more involved to clean, but it's good coffee. Not actually very hard to use.
>>7847551
Scoop out most of the grounds with a spoon CAREFULLY (unless your press is stainless steel) and then finish it off with one or two swirls of tap water. You should disassemble the filter and clean that out once every week or so as well.
What type of spout is best on a kettle? I think a gooseneck would be better for pouring, but most seem to have this little beak-like spout.
Also, temperature control or no?
>>7849200
>I think a gooseneck would be better for pouring, but most seem to have this little beak-like spout.
Because they're cheaper.
>>7840914
Rebuttal, French Press is awesome. You NEED coarse ground, though, to properly brew. Or be a weirdo like me, use regular drip grounds, because I drink decapitated (strong enough to take your head off)

>>7849200
Temp control if you have the money. If you don't you should save for one with temp control.
First thing i'd splurge to invest in is a conical burr grinder. When you have proper fresh grinds ready all the time, everything just falls into place.
Is this whole coffee thing a meme?

>clean
I have the Bodum Bistro 8-cup FP (pic). I measure two flat scoops of coffee and add my boiling water (8 ounces or whatever a fucking coffee cup is). I let it steep for 8:88 (because it's easy to press just 8 on the microwave timer). Then, I press and pour and let it sit for another 4 minutes.
Just let the fucking stuff settle and don't drink the last bit.
I just pour the fucking grounds down the fucking sink. Oh, btw...I use regular, store-bought pre-ground beans and I don't bother to use the "course grind" and I still make great coffee.
Sure, for a time, I used to grind my own beans just before brewing, but my living situation changed and I just don't want to bother with the grinder now.
Oh, I also used a sharpie to mark the side of the beaker to know how much water to pour.
Worst thing about a FP is the FUCKING PAPER-THIN GLASS and the two spare beakers I had to buy. Fuck that..next time, it's Ikea's FP for like half the price.

Moka>Aero>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>French Press
>>7849865
Most drip coffee machines drip water right in the middle of the basket, so you get more extraction in grinds in the middle and less in the ones n the outside
They also have pretty bad temperature regulation. Sometimes the water is too hot, sometimes too cold. Rarely is it just right.
Those two reason is why it's pretty shitty
The only part of the brewing pressing you can control with a drip machine is the coffee grind.
With aero, french press you control everything.
Temp, coffee grind and extraction time
With the moka post you can control the temp and grind. Not so much extraction time, but the nature of the moka pot pretty much makes it a non issue.
imo though. the beans makes the biggest difference.
I'd rather use really good beans in a drip machine than shitty beans in anything else.
>>7850653
why are you talking like that
>>7841380
It makes some strong fucking coffee, I think. I've gotten bad headaches from it too. That, or it's the aluminium.

I have a FP and an aero. Much prefer the coffee in FP
>>7844502
Same. I've heard using a french press for cold brew works well though, so I'm interested in trying that when I get sick of cleaning my filter cloth. Hot coffee always fucks with my stomach, so I only ever drink cold brew.

It makes consistent espresso + froth (!!!!!) every time in one push.
With semi-auto you have to make sure it's the right pressure in tamping + you will waste grounds with them spilling around.

Moka pot is the best, french press is pretty good and way more convenient if you're in an office setting or otherwise don't have access to a stove, and aeropress is nothing but a meme.

>>7845983
>>7845970
You're meant to "season" the pot. I know coffee oils in espresso machines are the devil but here they have the opposite effect. Basically you NEVER wash it with dish soap or scrub it, ever! What you do is after each time you use it, you take it apart and rinse it in warm/hot water. If it seems to build up too much just scrub it with your finger gently under the water. It should feel a bit oily to the touch.
It actually makes the coffee taste delicious.
>>7855429
Well, if it helps, I got nothing but sour brews out of it, so I don't use it anymore.
Meanwhile, my french press and aeropress get regular usage.
>>7847394
lol you could've bought 2 gaggia classics with that money or a rancilio silva with a baratza grinder for that money.
>>7853773
This malaka knows what's up. Don't use Loumidis though, they've been bought by Nestle. Pic related is better.
>>7855440
Read this >>7855435 it's very important. Also, you need to make sure you use the right grind of coffee (needs to be coarse more or less the way it would be for a french-press) and there's a special way of making it.
You fill the bottom half with water and put it on the stove on a very low fire let it there until you see the water begin to boil (should take about 5min). THEN you add the coffee (the coffee receptacle bit should be filled to the brim and not tamped, unless you've ground the coffee yourself in which case you should tamp it a little bit) then screw on the top. Once the coffee is about to reach the beginning of the spout take it off. You need to make sure it's on a low heat and that it doesn't sputter. The coffee should be streaming out of it like in your pic not spraying (for that reason keep the lid up so you can keep an eye on what's going on). Also, somewhat obviously, good quality/non-acidic coffee beans will get you better results.
>>7855454
Forgot to mention that the whole idea behind this process is that you expose the coffee to the heat for the minimum amount of time.
>>7840909
Anything else other than a Chemex set is to be discarded immediately.
>>7855503
Boring autist. How can you always be in the mood for one type of coffee.
I have cold-brews in the summer, Greek or Moka in the mornings and after lunch, v60/chemex in the afternoons. Variety anon, life's too short to have the same thing every day.
>>7855454
What in the fuck are you talking about? I never ever heard any of that shit you wrote. Are you sure you replied to the correct post?
>>7855575
You said:
>Well, if it helps, I got nothing but sour brews out of it, so I don't use it anymore.
I explained to you how to not get sour coffee on a moka pot you fucking imbecile.
>>7855454
>Read this.
I know all of that and tried it all.
I think all I'm tasting is the natural acidity from my (locally roasted) coffee since the brew is very concentrated.
Then again, I don't get sour from neither my aeropress or my french press.
The only thing I haven't tried is not
>the coffee receptacle bit should be filled to the brim
Doing that. I've never tried simply using less coffee.
>>7855441
Silvia is a very fussy machine
You need to be a good barrista, get used to pressing just right to get a proper tamp
Get used to an annoying level of milk frothing
Get used to throwing out beans and adjusting for the fussy machine
>>7855722
That's quite strange. Usually it is just a case of seasoning the pot properly or not heating the water before adding the coffee. Also, sourness in coffee is usually underextraction so try grinding the beans finer. If nothing works, maybe even try a different variety of coffee.
Also, would using less coffee make it less sour?
>>7855770
I still like it way more than that Jura. The Jura is like a soulless, all-in-one Porsche Cayenne and the Silvia is like an old rear wheel drive Alfa-Romeo.
Also, fuck milk in coffee.
>>7855787
Why would I bother with having to make more precise coffee without milk when I could have something closer to starbucks swill that always tastes great because of the milk
>>7855778
>Also, would using less coffee make it less sour?
Well, dose and temperature are the only variables we're able to control with a moka pot. If it's not one, then maybe it's the other.
>>7855802
Sure, I agree but why less and not more? I know they say you shouldn't tamp it, but after adding more coffee than you're supposed to and then tamping it, I got the best results.
>>7853745
I use a giant French Press for cold brew, it works perfectly
>>7855873
Agreed. I use a french press too. But i pour it through a paper filter to remove the fines.

Consistently bad espresso. There is no even close to half decent auto espresso machine available at any price right now.
The closest thing is gravimetric dosing like the NS Black Eagle, but that still requires you to prep the portafilter.
>>7855812
>but why less and not more?
Not enough water for a full extraction with more, perhaps.
>>7856940
Oh yeah that makes sense. I would also experiment with different grades of grinding.
When I flip my aeropess onto the glass, the coffee just leaks through the filter anyway without me needing to press on it. Is this normal? It sounds like that shouldn't be happening.
>>7857590
It's normal for a little bit to leak through, but not all of it.

>>7859148
Does that crema ever make it to the cup? I've read completely contrasting reviews on the subject.
Aeropress is okay but it makes like a half mug of coffee, and not concentrated enough to be watered down.
Standard french press is my current favorite
>>7859271
Yea, my experience with that hasnt been good. Like you said, the crema dissipates fast. I've only ever achieved decent "crema" by making cuban coffee. But its too damn sweet for my liking though.
>>7842222
checked
The fuck can i find a moka pot for cheap? Everywhere i look its upwards in the 30-40s. I wanted a moka pot because i dont drink coffee enough to justify buying a coffee maker but why the fuck does a metal pot cost as much as one.
>>7859351
It makes a completely different coffee to a coffee maker. Keep an eye on amazon in case the 2-cup one goes on sale, avoid the Brikka it's always 10-15$ more than the regular Mokka.
If you want something cheap get a 5$ plastic Hario V60 and a 5$ pack of 300 Hario unbleached paper filters. Presto
