What's your morning coffee like?
Black? Sugar? French Press? Moka Pot? Espresso Machine?
I just drink instant coffee, no need for any kind of meme press.
>>7285065
Mr room mate drinks instant coffee with a spoon of nesquik. I fucking hate that kid
French press, beans ground with my burr grinder, with a tiny splash of milk. I don't have any sort of consistent routine so I'm having trouble nailing down the best method, or doing any troubleshooting
Con panna with 3 pump vanilla in the shot of espresso is my go too.
Locally roasted beans ground with a hand burr grinder the moment before brewing.
Kettle set to 200F.
French press let grounds brew for 4 minutes.
Pour into hand painted locally glazed and fired ceramic mug, preheated.
Clean up.
Enjoy.
Black from a french press. Usually beans from some small place that I've found while traveling for my work.
Just got a 1 liter steel press with double walls for insulation. Should be a nice upgrade from the rinky-dink glass one I've been using that brews two "cups" at a time.
>>7285761
Same, I buy locally roasted beans though.
is there anyone on this board that drinks something other than instant or press?
>>7285064
I can't taste coffee in the morning for some reason
But nespresso with 4 oz of milk and a spoon full of cream. Fuck water
>>7285923
Yea, nigger, I use the Turkish approach for my coffee.
Grind the beans into a powder.
Put 3 espresso cups of water in a stainless steel cup with 3 TBS of powdery ass coffee and 2 tsps of sugar and stir.
Heat that shit over a stove element until it starts to form a foamy head, and then dump that shit in a cup and let it rest for a minute for the grounds to settle.
It has the body of an espresso, but not quite as strong.

>>7286296
Not that guy, how often should you? And do you use soap?
What most people call a "great coffee" on this board would be considered average AT BEST around my parts.
Why don't you just go ahead and come clean about having a shit palate .
>>7286296
I bet you don't even wash your coffee maker after every use.
Anyway, i wash the removable chamber in my grinder because otherwise it attracts ants.
>>7286306
I almost never wash the grinder. In fact I don't really wash the French press either, just a good rinse with hot water, same with the mug as well.
>>7286306
whenever i get a new bag of coffee, so every 3-4 weeks. i just take it apart and submerge it in hot soapy water for a few hours.
French Press in the winter.
Moka pot espresso with a teaspoon of sugar, ice cubes and a dash of milk in summer.
Had Turkish coffee for the first time last week. It was amazing.
But my go-to is pic related. Best tasting instant coffee you'll ever have, and only 10 cents a cup.
Any UK lads been to flat caps coffee?
3 espressos in a single bowl from a Delonghi machine every morning.
No sugar, no milk.
Final destination.
I'm also looking at Moka machines for traveling purpose, any brand I should avoid ?
What's the best instant coffee?
Pic related.
I have a grinder that I grind fresh beans with and make it in a french press. I used to drink it with milk but since I started doing a juice fast I've appreciated the taste of black coffee a lot more and I don't think I'm going to go back.
Long black (americano on the OP's image) all day erry day.
Decaffeinated, cappuccino.
I used to drink normal coffee (aka real coffee) but due to age and a genetic heart condition it makes me feel like shit if I drink any caffeine. Really miss my coffee
In the summer, I make aeropress coffee about a quart at a time, then chill it. Take some with some milk and a touch of sugar in the mornings.
In the winter I either drink tea (Irish Breakfast) or espresso with a spot of foamed milk.
I'm thinking of getting into roasting my own beans.
>>7285065
Why bother drinking it? Just shovel a spoon of it into your mouth.
Plain old coffee from a drip machine with milk and regrets.

>>7285064
Folgers classic blend. From a drip brewer. Black.
Black, french press.
Nothing fussy.
>>7286215
I just grind in large quantities that last several days, and put it in a vacuum sealed container.
And I only clean the grinder between bags.
>>7285064
Coffee...double black double sweet.
I lazily make pour-over brew. I don't rinse the filter with boiled water, nor do I preheat my mug.
I don't buy beans because the burr grinder I got for christmas is loud, low capacity and slow.
I also got a electric moka pot for christmas, but I am fucking unable to make a decent cup of coffee in that thing.
I had a stovetop moka pot for years and I always managed to make really nice, robust and full bodied coffee in that thing, even though it was starting to get a bit leaky so the pressure wasn't as good anymore.
I mostly just eye the grounds and dump them into the funnel, and I pour the boiled water pretty quickly over.
If I'm feel like it, I do it slightly slower and let the coffee blossom a bit and infuse over a longer time.
It always turns out great, unless I fuck up the amount of grounds I put in the funnel.
french press
i prefer a light to medium roast but also like to change it up.. west africa and hawaii make my fave beans
i try to buy single source, organic and fair trade.. i've noticed objective differences in quality compared to often more expensive blends
i'm still using an electric blade grinder so the finished product is inconsistent but not bad.. i pulse it and try to leave the beans on the side of too coarse which is probably wastefull but i don't like having lots of sludge in my cup
i'm waiting for it to die before i buy a burr.. it seems to be pretty well made though, i've had it for YEARS.. any other uses for it so i can justify getting a new one?
>>7285064
1/3 coffee
2/3 skimmed milk
I currently live in Brazil, so I have access to a lot of high quality cheap coffee.
I usually drink either coffee from the Mogiana region in Minas Gerais or Jacu Coffee (akin to Kopi Lowak, but the beans don't get digested, so it's even higher quality).
I have a 21 bar espresso maker at home, so I usually drink a double shot at morning.
Depending on my mood I'll make a cappucino, macchiato, latte or café con hielo too. It's great starting those insanely hot summer mornings with a good iced coffee.
Black coffee with a dash of soymilk because milk allergy.
Hate the fact that I can't order from coffee shops without risking cross contamination with milk somehow though.
>>7289866
Can you eat cheese?
>>7289881
The milk allergy is an odd one. If it's cooked (so baked goods, cheese, chocolate, caramel, etc.) I can eat it but things like straight milk, ice cream and yogurt will set off a reaction.
>>7289883
If you can eat cheese, shouldn't you be able to boil some milk and then drink that?
>>7289883
i'm like that with eggs.. it's annoying because people think it's fake but if i eat egg prepared a certain way i will literally puke and shit myself for 4 or more hours, crying in the fetal position, waiting to die
it's fun
>>7289889
Never have tried desu. The time I've accidentally drunk milk (then spit it out after looking in the cup as a kid), I didn't care for it so in my book, it's not much of a loss.
>>7289891
Ouch anon. Ditto on the egg allergy but then again the reaction is so mild that I'll eat them once in a while with hot sauce. Pretty bland otherwise though.
piss
Why does my coffee taste kind of bitter? Do i need creamer or something?
I'm new at the whole coffee thing
Espresso, from beans that I've roasted myself 4-14 days prior. I use a mix of 70% arabica and 30% robusta, roasted fairly dark just to second crack. 13.5 g coffee, 40.0 g in the cup, 27 seconds.
>>7290000
maybe you're burning the grounds
my coffee stopped tasting bitter when I started brewing at lower temps
>>7285064
black americano, roommate bent the filter on my french press, so thats out of the picture for now.
When you guys get coffee somewhere, is it sour? It seems like the 2 "good" roasters/coffeeshops near me are really sour normal coffees.
Today I made a Aeropress Coffee.
I used my burr grinder to make some grinds from beans and I used it to make an aeropress coffee.
Its the best way to make a single cup of Coffee, I used to use a french press sometimes. But since I got the aeropress I use it alot more. The paper filters remove the acid flavor that you get in a french press and I just like it alot more.
>>7290000
It might be overextracted because either your water temperature is too high, your grind too fine, your extraction time too long or all of the above. Or it might be roasted too dark for your taste, or it might just be a feature of the bean. Or it could be just the fact that it's coffee, and coffee is bitter. I'd recommend brewing for a shorter time at a lower temperature for starters.
>>7290024
the acid and the oils are what make it so fucking good
fuck i hate paper filters
In the morning I like French press coffee with a splash of cream, I like that it helps cool it down a bit and make it a bit heartier/richer for breakfast.
I put the second cup into a thermos and have it black once I get to work.
If it is anything other than black I hope you are:
1. a woman
2. Under 12
3. Gay
If not, kill yourself.

This kind of autism I can get behind
>>7289883
Not odd at all, that's quite common.
Cooking denatures the proteins that you're allergic too.
>>7290022
Yes its unfortunate. Poor barista skills, the coffee is under extracted when it's sour. I stopped going to certain places because they consistently are shit employees who can't pull a decent shot. Fucking liberal arts hipster faggots.
>>7290240
I preboil the water, then add it to the well of my moka pot, then putting the burner on low, works great for me, and you'll get less metal flavor.
anything other than espresso, americano and latte is pleb shit.

Do you guys just have one cup a day in the morning or multiple?
I really enjoy drinking coffee but I don't want ot get too hooked you know
>>7285064
Has anyone ever bothered looking at the "infographic?" It's awful. A cortado and a noisette are the exact same thing, as is a flat white if we're going to going to reduce everything down to straight ingredient ratios. Also a cortado isn't foamed. That's just a macchiato. I'm sure there are far more problems but I'm not enough of a coffee autist to spot them all.
>>7293959
I usually just have one large mug of coffee every morning. I can't drink coffee all day long like some people, it makes me feel all jittery and overactive in the afternoon/evening when I do.
Moka pot cortado, grocery store beans because I buy dark roast so fuck it.
>>7285680
Why don't you just get Starbucks, at that point?
>>7291221
i've been awake for 32.7 hours and i pissed myself laughing at this
Before 9:30 AM, moka pot.
French press if later.
>Black?
Yep
>Sugar?
Nope.
>Espresso machine?
Some day, but no.
The reason I'll only have moka pot before 9:30 AM is because I have a 6-cup model and that is some strong coffee.
I mean, the only way I'll get to sleep is if I'm physically exhausted. However, I usually get up before dawn on moka pot mornings, so I can still get to sleep before midnight.
Three pods of Kona for a full mug from a Senseo machine.
An hour later I get shitty French Roast from the usual drip coffee maker.
>>7294577
>I have a 6-cup model
I've been wondering what this means, I have a 3 cup model of which I drink the whole thing and I don't think it's any stronger than a coffee I would buy at a cafe
>>7294616
It's not stronger, but it brews more.
Around 7 fl oz (207 ml) worth.
>>7285064
I drink 300 ml/morning, around 1000 ml over the whole day
>>7295176
and black, no milk or sugar
Drip pot black.
I consume drugs mainly for their effect. Better than the former morning booze.
Hario V60 with Eight O'Clock beans 9/10 times, local roaster beans 1/10 times. Eight O'Clock is passable for shit I can get anywhere in whole bean form. I have tried to make due with stuff like Maxwell House in dire times and it pretty much makes me want to vomit.
I can't say I've ever tried instant coffee.
Hey pals, if you're wanting to try different types of coffee y'all should try http://brewmethods.com/
they have vids n shit
>>7285064
Moka Pot, Breve, something else if I have time but I normally don't. Normally Café Latte or Capuccino, occasional viennois.
I want to try caffé affogato though, never had that.
I've heard American coffee is pretty weak. Not as much coffee in the coffee or whatever.
>>7295322
Typical breakfast diner coffee is shitty as hell, its like going to a restaurant and ordering a weak French press. I think I only saw one espresso machine the whole time I was there
The place where I bought my beans closed down recently so I've been working my way through the supermarket stock to find a replacement. Pic related is alright.
I use a french press and drink it black with 2 sugars.
>>7293959
Usually it's one (two if I have time) large cup in the morning, one to three trips to the coffee machine at work, and one large cup again instead of lunch.
Then maybe some more large sugary cups at home to counter weed apathy.
>>7293959
Usually just one, maybe a small cup after lunch if I'm feeling unmotivated to work out, or just generally lethargic because I ate a huge burrito or something.
>>7295996
Don't talk shit about diner coffee, obviously it's bad, that's why you get an unlimited amount for 1.50. It's part if the charm. Same reason you don't other anything other than breakfast
>>7296126

Really? Coffee gives me panic attacks if I drink too much and butterflies if I don't drink enough
A bit of lactose free milk a tsp of sugar 1-2 cups a day
>>7297186
You're drinking too much. It's like adderall to me though. enough and I have concentration but too much and I can't stop masturbating.
>>7287246
I need a replacement for Nescafe.
>>7285761
Here,
Double-walled press is amazing. You lose so much heat in the glass presses, where with this the coffee still pours our piping hot. I fucking love it.
>>7297190
>It's like adderall to me though. enough and I have concentration
I found the same when I first came to uni and started drinking coffee. The only problem was, if the lecture was boring, then I found myself concentrating intently on anything else but the lecturer. (The screens of the laptops in front of me, funny haircuts etc)
I just brewed coffee using slightly cooler water and the result was so nice I didn't even need to add sugar or cream.
What is this feeling?
>>7297177
Where did you visit? There are tons of independent coffee in every major west coast city I've been to, and much of the east coast as well. Not all of it will blow your mind, just like anywhere else, but nearly all of them are better than the places you listed.
>>7297329
Not much, really. I just prewarm the press before brewing. Pours too hot to drink so it gives me time to clean up then drink.
>All these people will never drink out of a $2,000 coffee machine
Feel bad for y'all
>>7297718
Fuck I didn't think of that.
That was a dumb purchase
New to this whole coffee thing.
Are those vacuum packs of whole beans acceptable? Is it acceptable to buy beans at Starbucks?
Who /kickass/ here?
>>7297728
if you're new to the whole thing honestly I don't think you'll notice the difference.
I object to buying beans from starbucks because it's starbucks. I think that might just be a part of Australian coffee culture though
>>7297728
>Are those vacuum packs of whole beans acceptable?
Vacuum-packed starbucks beans are already months old, so not really. You'll get plenty of bloom when you open them at first. But after about a week, nope.
If you want REAL freshness, you gotta roast your own or buy locally roasted.
>Is it acceptable to buy beans at Starbucks?
Like what you like, but it's popularly agreed that the blonde roasts (veranda blend, willow blend) are the best.
I'd recommend the willow.
>>7297742
was thinking of trying this
cant find a roast date on it though
At home, I grind beans in a burr grinder and use a drip machine, and drink it black.
At a shop, I buy an Americano.
That's it.
>>7285064
Enjoy your drug addiction, RETARDS
Just finished mine.
Hario hand grinder and an aeropress, have a mocha pot as well but I don't use it that often.
Usually drink it black or with a little bit of milk If I'm in a hurry.
>>7285708
I like your style. I usually heat my water on the stove but it never occurred to me to get a kettle. Definitely going to cop one for accuracy.

There is no difference, that chart just sucks
Lately its mostly been french press coffee because I enjoy having three cups, but before that I was using my Moka Pot a lot. I enjoy the Moka Pot more, but the french press is a lot less involved and yields more coffee. It is easier to use since I'm always shifting between hungover and drunk.
>>7287304
Yeah, that's me.
Although they have a keurig at work so I have to buy cups of both kinds depending on where I want to have coffee.
I take it black.

French Press or Moka pot is the cheapest good coffee
>>7301398
Well, to save yourself some money and any regret, try this to make sure you wish to continue down this path.
Go to an independent coffee shop and order something black, preferably light or medium roasted.
You don't have to drink it there and try to tolerate any hipster faggotry if you don't want to; order to go.
>>7285708
If you're going to be that much of a prick about it then you should just roast the beans yourself
>>7301258
I drink Folger's classic roast out of a drip machine when I drink coffee at home. I like it, so why do I need to mess around with the fancy stuff?
Related question: If I make light roast with freshly ground beans in something other than a drip machine, will it taste good? Does it always taste like hot acid?

definitely. Adderall can make something you are COMPELLED to do bareable otherwise it will just laser-focus your fucking off.
/cg/ trying to make the jump to elite brew status. Thinking about picking up a Chemex. What are ideal set-ups with a Chemex? Do people just put those things on their stove-top to preheat them? Are there electric programmable kettles? What scales do people use?
>>7285708
>Locally roasted beans ground with a hand burr grinder the moment before brewing.
Probably a shitty prolex or skerton. May as well use a blade grinder at that point.
>Kettle set to 200F.
Too cold. If the coffee is good, get that shit up to 207+
>French press let grounds brew for 4 minutes.
I hope you're getting some early agitation in there and going pressless.

>>7302829
thx 4 the input
>>7285064
have an expresso machine but had a ton of more coarse coffee so normally use the moka pot, will mainly use the machine once I finish it an can be bothered to go to the coffee store
>>7304281
also if you use a moka I suggest putting a star anise on the water compartment it gives a mild flavour, but rinse it right away or the flavour/smell will stick to it
>>7302354
i dont drink instant but ive seen a friend use a trick to get crema on it, you put the coffee in the mug and a bit of water, only like a teaspoon and beat it with a fork till it gets foamy, then you put the hot water

At starbucks probably not, ask for a double expresso with cream on the top

It seems like everyone just orders those sugary coffee milkshakes instead of real coffee.

Just got into using a chemex and grinding fresh beans after a life-time of pre-ground drip-- I'm fucking blown away. I never knew coffee was supposed to taste close to what it smells like rather than something like sightly chalky, bitter hot water.
Anyway, I'm thinking of making Irish coffees with it the next time my friends come over. Any opinions on what coffee to use that could go well with Irish whisky and brown sugar?

I started cold brewing my coffee about a week ago. It's nice and convenient.
I also generally do the pour-over method.
americanos all day long
look, all i'm saying is that my coffee tastes better than your coffee and there's not a god damned thing you can do about it.
>>7285923
cold brew my nigga
>>7299291
I posted this yesterday, but apparently I'm a fucking liar, because I've had two cafe au laits since then, lol. Both were after a meal. IDK why, I just wanted cafe au lait for some reason. I'm very sure that tomorrow, once the week starts, I'll go back to my black coffee and Americanos, but the cafe au lait was nice for a change.

I think a good Irish coffee should resemble a Guinness.
Any doofus can mix hot coffee, sugar, whisky (and god forbid Baileys if you fell for the marketing and like to ruin a good thing) into a glass and plop some whipped creme on top.
The challenge is making it look nice-- which if you want to give it a Guinness look means knowing how to whip and float light creme.
>>7302862
>Actually you want lower temperature for better coffee/depends on brew method. See above.
Absolutely not. Colder water is more forgiving for darker roasts.
What you don't understand is that you are aiming for the 195-205 SCAA recommended temperature in the SLURRY. Not the water in kettle temperature, but the temperature after the water has mixed with room temperature coffee. If you start at 200, you're going to hit about 185-190 if you preheat a french press. Even lower if you use a v60 or chemex or the like.
Using 185 in the aeropress is just a way that people differentiate their coffee in competitions. Higher temperature tastes better if the coffee is good, for the reasons I just explained. There's a reason those same aeropress competition recipes aren't winning any brewer's cup titles.
>4 minutes is perfect. You're wrong, or like bitter coffee, which is fine.
It isn't perfect. And he isn't necessarily wrong.
When you do an immersion brew without agitation the EXT% will increase over time, slowing as it goes. The difference between 3 minutes and 4 is minimal. The difference between 4 and 7 is nearly non existent. I've had tasty brews that have steeped for over 10 minutes. It really isn't a black and white thing. Extraction is primarily a function of grind size, water temperature and composition, coffee solubility, agitation, and contact time.
You're not nearly as informed as you think you are.

Good choice. Socratic coffee has had some surprisingly positive results with their particle distribution tests regarding the breville smart grinder pro. Although the methodology is flawed (sieving and weighing vs laser diffraction). Encores are pretty tried and true though, and baratza is a great company. The lido 2 is in the same price range if you want more bang for the buck and are ok with manual grinding. Don't spend any money on anything until you get a grinder. Then get some good water. Then grab an aeropress. Then try out the v60/chemex route after you grab a gooseneck kettle if you want to or you need to make coffee for multiple people.
>>7302874
Start with a 16:1 ratio and go from there.
I'm interested in trying other brewing methods besides drip and french press. What are some recommendations?
>>7285676
throw your ferench press out the window with the milk make your coffee black with a pour over funnel or stfu about methods and troubleshooting. you dont drink coffee, you drink betafag juice.
>>7306358
I've just gotten a moka pot and really like it. I've learnt to make a pretty decent flat white using it
>>7306388
Okay, please tell me how you achieved this.
A friend gave me his moka pots (a 3 cup and a 6 cup), but I haven't had much success with them. I'd love to make a nice flat white in the mornings, and after dinner.

This says everything you need. It's really important to make sure the grinds you make/buy are fairly coarse. The French Press frothing takes practice to know when to stop
>>7289429
>lazy pour over
Ayee
Newfag to coffee here
What's some good, cheap, french presses and grinders?
>>7307904
I got my French Press for $5 from Ikea, it works as well as any other I've owned does
>>7307904
ikea sells $8 french presses made of glass and plastic
they come in black
bodum sells $15 french presses made of glass, plastic and metal
they come in kids colors
everything else is overpriced crap

>extra cream
>not extra low-fat cream
omg eww enjoy getting fat
Coffee is naturally bitter
Why do people say it isn't supposed to be bitter?
Do they mean bitter like office coffee which taste like mud?
Or do they talk of any bitter in general?
>>7309815
Overly bitter. Unpleasantly bitter. People generally dislike unbalanced flavors in coffee.
>>7309815
The bitter components are water soluble which is why overextracted coffee will always taste bitter. The trick is to extract as much of the non-bitter components as you can before the bitter components dominate.
It's a science.
E61 Espresso is the only legitimate solution.
>>7309909
Or you know, just brew at a lower temperature.
I did that by accident the other day and I didn't even feel like adding cream or sugar, it was good on it's own.
>>7285064
Don't drink coffee in the morning.
I'm thinking of getting a super automatic espresso machine to fix that. But just waiting until I can justify myself buying a $1500 machine
Do you guys stir after pouring your french press? I'm getting conflicting results.
Also, is 2tbsp/6oz water really necessary?
>>7310553
I pour a bit to wet the ground, then gently(!) stir for 10 seconds to make sure everything is wet, then pour the rest of the water.
>watering down espresso is a thing

Became popular when American GI's did it while stationed in Italy.
>>7285064
The office has free Folgers drip, so I drink 4-5 cups of it black per day.
>>7309920
Unfortunately this also gives up a ton of desirable flavors as well. Not an ideal solution.
>>7309909
>E61 Espresso is the only legitimate solution.
That is ridiculously stupid. The grouphead is a tiny factor in the quality of the espresso. Not to mention that you can make awesome coffee without an espresso machine.
>>7310563
>then gently(!)
Wrong. Stir like a madman to get everything wet as fast as you can. Agitation doesn't do much early on but get everything wet. Later on it influences extraction heavily, and generally in an undesirable way.

try adding very little salt to it
nice quads btw
Why does my Aeropress coffee go cold get lukewarm in about a minute flat? I boil my water, pour the boiling water in my cup to pre-heat it, wait about a minute for the water in the kettle to cool down slightly, and I do the pressing process within about a minute and a half then add a tiny bit of milk. By the time I drink it, it's already noticeably cooled down. Towards the end it's practically cold.
>>7310343
Get a moka pot. They're dirt cheap and make better "espresso" than any espresso machine under $300 if you learn to use it right. Use that for awhile, THEN try to decide if you'd use the $1500 machine enough to be worth it
>>7311453
I already have an espresso machine. I'm talking about a super automatic machine
>>7310629
And? Not every beer needs to be a 1000 IBU IPA or a quintuple imperial stout. Not every whisk(e)y needs to be drunk neat at cask strength. The assumption that more intense flavors are always and inherently better is the same idiotic thinking that made Epic Meal Time a thing
>>7311465
Super autos suck hard. The build quality is shit. The coffee quality is shit. Do not cop.

Any Pact fags? Am I wasting my money?
Just had coffee with baileys for the first time. Was surprisingly good
>>7312829
>Not drinking the Baileys straight
Pleb.
>>7311786
Only for cheap machines.
Cold brew during the summer using cheese cloth + a strainer. Chock full o nuts is actually great for making large batches, and I'm usually a snob about getting whole beans from the right place.
Mostly just espresso during the fall/winter.
>>7313574
Nope. Even for quite expensive ones. I've worked with some that are over 5k, and are made with cheap plastic parts, are prone to malfunction, and don't make very good coffee. It's a waste of money.
Super-autos don't need to suck, but right now they do. They are marketed to the uninformed.
>>7314646
Sure you have
