Coffee thread now!
What are you drinking right now, /ck/?
>>7674205
i only drink coffee on weekdays during at work sometimes but i had a leftover starbucks giftcard from christmas so when my coworker went to lunch on friday i gave her my starbucks card to get coffee for everyone in the office
>i got a large iced mocha with no whipped cream and an extra shot of espresso
fuck you i like it
I regret nothing

drinking some yorkshire tea, pretty good.
some maxwell house i got on sale
ethiopian yirgacheffe
Equator coffee is glorious smooth coffee. The only thing missing is a cute anime girl to share it with.
A cup of keurig coffee.
Some organic Java Taman Dadar that the local place has.
Pretty good, especially in the single serving Keurig cup.
Iced Maxwell House French roast with milk.
>>7674777
Me too. Six for $10. Plus I had several $1 off two coupons, so I got six for $7, so less than $1.17 per canister/$1.70/lb. Can't beat that.
Store brands are almost never cheaper than name brands if you know how to shop.
Sadly drinking tim hortons black coffee, its kind of coffee i guess, not too much acidity but pretty bland flavour
>>7674205
Pike Place Starbucks from my keurig
Fuck the ocean
>>7674924
It's probably the budget.
You see art discrepancies from the very first episode, almost as if they phoned it in with artists who learned to draw by copying anime without learning anatomy.
Iced coffee with whole milk. I've been using skim milk for years but it tastes so much flavorful with fatty milk.
Ran out of fresh beans and my local roaster is closed today, so it's going to be my rainy day blend. (Left over beans going back for months.)
Folger's. It's the best part of waking up.

Ethiopia Halo Bariti, a yirgacheffe from Happy Mug. I got my v60 a few days ago, but only one of my handful of v60 brews have been truly enjoyable so far. The rest were ok but headache-inducing bitter. It's weird because it's not Starbucks or Bustelo out right bitter, it's a special bitter possibly out of overextraction. These new thick v60 filters are a pain in the arse. I'm going to change up my pouring technique and drop the dosage back to 21g.

>>7675716
Iktf. My rainy day blends tend to be somewhat tasty for some reason even though they're from a month to possibly a year old.
I get these at the store because they bags are so big.
>>7677270
>see through bag
Doesn't light sour the taste of coffee?
>>7675716
This, just not quite as old. The leftovers from 4 little sample packets someone gave me two weeks ago from Driftaway Coffee. Peru, Guatemala, Papua New Guinea, and Ethiopia, the sun never sets on this blend.
>>7677288

I find the people who are the cuntiest about coffee, tea, beer and wine are ones who only started drinking it in their 20s or 30s. I grew up drinking coffee, beer and wine. My entire country drinks coffee, beer and wine, even little kids (to a lesser amount, but they still do). It's just a delicious drink to us and nothing to preen and posture about.
Lavazza Classico, nothing fancy but it's good enough for me.
David Lynch Signature Cup Organic Espresso with some chocolate condensed milk stirred in.
>>7674223
>i got a large iced mocha with no whipped cream and an extra shot of espresso
that sounds pretty good, doesn't the ice water it down? Or do you/they pour the drink into a different cup after you chilled it down in the ice?
>>7677288
Light ruins everything, I guess it depends on how they're sold, is it on grocery store shelf or at coffee shops where they control for that?
>>7677964
If you think coffee attracts autistic pretentiousness, go over to bike forums, where if you don't have an approved bike its not a bike but a bike shaped object.
>>7678635
When I told a older friend of mine that I been drinking instant for sometime and enjoyed it the look on his face was one of shock, intrigue and disgust. Coffee farmers drink it, at least half the world drinks it, it can actually be much smoother than "real coffee"
>>7678749
>David Lynch Signature Cup Organic Espresso with some chocolate condensed milk stirred in.
Jesus Christ... is it damn good coffee??
===============================
I been having pic related at $6, its good, but their gold label is better but also $8 and the store quit carrying it.
>>7679152
forgot the pic related. shit
>>7679152
>where if you don't have an approved bike its not a bike but a bike shaped object.
Did they laugh at your $100 shit quality walmart "bike" anon?
>>7679152
>is it damn good coffee??
I've had better espresso, his house roast is very good though.
Hey Coffee lads. I'm thinking of buying a more premium coffee machine or a way to make better coffee. I heard of French Press, Chemix, V60s, and normal machines. I did extensive research. I want to make Espresso. My favorite type of coffee is a Cappuccino. I currently use the Hario Ceramic Coffee Mill Skerton to grind my shit up. Though I also much prefer a machine for grinding as well, but I heard most of them are shit ones with non-ceramic parts with blades.
What is the best choice? I also need a decent foaming machine for the milk I have for the cappuccino.
>>7679317
Avatar has a good artstyle - enough detail to look good for high-budget sequences, simple enough not to go off model during simple shots.
Know what else does?
Angel's Egg, Patlabor 1 & 2, the Sky Crawlers, Millennium Actress, Mindgame, Tatami Galaxy, Kaiba, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Metropolis, Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise, Gunbuster, The Dagger of Kamui, Macross: Do You Believe in Love?, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Flag, Lain, Yokohama Kaidashi Kiko
That's off the top of my head.
You have explored a fraction of a fraction of the medium. It's like you watched Pearl Harbor and then threw away the entirety of Western Cinema. Go expand yourself.
>>7679317
The fuck is wrong with you?
>>7679399
These are amazing animation series and that guy is an ignorant fuck that does not know shit about animation/art direction.
>>7679431
>>7679431
Literal 5 year olds in /ck/ when did /ck/ become such shit? Look at my webm and compare it to your Last Airbender show. It doesn't even touch it. Also Samurai Jack, Steven Universe, and Wakfu have better art direction then The Last Airbender, but then again, I didn't really enjoy Avatar as much as everyone else during the 2000's.
>>7679446
You should check out Aeon Flux for good western animation.
>>7679399
Take it to /a/, pedo'.
>>7679454
That's out of context. He's talking about the modern 'otaku' culture. He has respect for serious productions. Hideyuki Anno appears in the documentary that's from as a friend and respected director.
The fact your knowledge extends only to Miyazaki just shows me how little exposure you've had. Miyazaki isn't even the best of the Ghibli directors; I bet you've never seen an Isao Takahata film, huh?
This is from someone who hates most anime, by the way. There are absolutely great anime series and films out there, you are bound to like quite a few of them if you actually sat down and gave some a chance.
What snacks does /ck/ have with their coffee?
I have suffering and hopelessness because forevercut. Pairs well.
>>7679454
My favorite part of this is how all these weebs were conflicted on how to react to Miyzaki's comments on anime because they worship him but at the same time were so butthurt about his comments a few attempted to discredit\dismiss him for taking a shit on their fandom.
>>7679454
>>7679475
Neither of you have seen the documentary that's from, huh?
>>7679460
Are you fucking dumb? I'm >>7679414 and American Animation still has a ways to go in Animation quality. Steven Universe's fight choreography is DBZ-tier of plain. As for Samurai Jack is more impressive, but still cuts a lot of scenes rather then a seamless slew of animation. Animation wise Wakfu is the best, but is French and very much inspired by anime.

>>7679500
>claims to hate most anime
>has an in depth knowledge of obscure Nip artists
>Not gonna fool me, weeb.
Yes, everything I listed has good animation, a philosophical or arthouse tendency. Most anime, which I hate, is just fetish-pandering comedic crap with shit budgets. 98% of anime is awful but I like all of those films because when I approach anime I'm only interested in what I think will be good. Lo and behold, there happen to be good anime. I don't have an in-depth knowledge and those titles aren't obscure, those are just what I like. I'm sure there are many films and series I haven't seen that I would like and that are good and have lots of thought and effort put into them. I'm also sure that 98% of anime is shit.
Who the fuck are you that your opinion on an artform is so lacking in nuance? Is it impossible in your world that there are many, many anime directors who don't like most of anime themselves and try to do something intelligent with it? Liking anime doesn't mean you like Naruto or moe stuff, grow up.
>>7679508
I hate 3x3 fags and I'm the guy listing all the titles.
Stop trying to jam people into form-fitting holes, anon. You're on this site too much and it's corrupting how much complexity you expect from strangers you don't know.
>>7679507
Alright, something tells me you don't appreciate art of any kind. Enjoy your loneliness.

>>7679548
Gimme that (You). Thanks and bye. You just single handedly destroyed this precious coffee thread.
>>7674205
That's a big coffee.
>>7679548
You type little and say even less. I'm married, my spouse likes most of those films and also likes some I don't. We are not anime nerds, I'm mostly into literature, we watch films more often than anime.
What do you get out of being so pridefully dismissive of something you know nothing about? Is it masochistic, do you project to fill a void in yourself? You're not exhibiting healthy behavior.

I'm still finding answers for this. >>7679392

Thanks for the (You) again. Please give me another one. Still finding answers on how I should make my coffee and replacing my shit machine for a better replacement.
This is a coffee thread.
>>7679592
What are you trying to accomplish? It's clear your opinion isn't open to change, and similarly you aren't going to change anyone else's mind. You're only serving to derail what would have been a productive thread were you not here.
>>7679609
Is that what you want? There's no reason to lash out and purposefully destroy a conversation unless you were yourself upset somehow. I'm guessing you're depressed and seething with self-hatred, right?
>>7679628
I'm a different poster than the reverse psychology one. You saying I'm upset is as much armchair as what I'm saying. We'll never know the other participant's emotional state. If you really are full of depression, anger, and self-loathing, I really urge you to cease your behavior and perhaps consider meditation, therapy, or if it comes down to it, medication. You might think you're making people upset, and you might even be deluding yourself into thinking making others upset is 'positive' for you, but what you're really doing is making people who wanted to discuss coffee vaguely annoyed. I mean, look at this. I'm one of two people responding to you, I'm calm, they may be upset, but mostly no one cares. You are experiencing a much bigger emotional reality than the multiple people you're annoying or turning away. And although I'm sure you'll look at me typing a lot as a 'victory,' assured that I'm upset, I want you to know that the reality, though you may cynically disbelieve it, is that there are people in the world who truly care for you and want to communicate what they can to you so that you can become a better person and stop harming yourself mentally. I truly love you as a person, anon, I feel for your faults, and I hope you can become well if you are in fact hurting.
>>7679246

V60 with a Tazania Mara Tarime.

>technique
I use a ratio of 1g coffee to 16.6 g water. I usually go basically 18g coffee to 300g water (give or take).
Then I start my pour, 50g for the initial 30 second bloom, and then agitate with a spoon like Matt Perger. Then I do another 50g pour to 100g. Finally I finish with a continuous 200g pour to get to 300. At the end of my pour I again agitate with a spoon, but this time I slowly spin the water and then tap my v60 to settle the grounds. If you get it correctly, there should be a slight but even dome on your grounds. This should all happen within 3 min 10 secs or so as your target, so grind your coffee accordingly (I try shooting for sand like, but a little coarser). After the pour I cool my coffee in my decanter by swirling and pulling the pour (like pulled tea) into my mug.

starbucks french roast with a couple ice cubes is my favorite. I can't stand weak coffee
>>7683037
Straight? Ok.
If they're coated in chocolate they're fucking amazing.
French Press (black)
Drip Brew (milk if iced)
Turkish rarely
Instant if in a rush
Never really fell into the whole culture behind coffee. Maybe I don't have tastebuds or a soul but the taste differences are too subtle in my opinion to treat coffee on the level of a pretentious connoisseur.
I have found preparation style to be the most important factor in taste and not necessarily the bean. I'm not saying shit brands don't exist.
Anyone here ever try siphon style preparation? Any opinions?

Please don't go on any serious mountain biking trails with a cheap bike. There are very high stresses involved on parts when you're going off large drops on to rock, and you might very well get yourself seriously injured or killed if your shocks can't handle the momentum of a 15 foot drop.

1 year is the norm on coffee expiration dates. It won't kill you, and probably palatable at the concentrated dark roast that it is when prepared as a little cafecito with copious amounts of sugar. But, since it's probably worth about $2.50, why not just replace it?

There are people who order the executive blend at Starbucks or whatever and go around saying how they "love coffee!!" and how they're "total coffee experts". This can get annoying if you've actually spent time researching coffee and practicing your brewing and so on. I swear to god, I once mentioned something about my beans getting old, and this dunning-kreuger type smugly told me I needed to keep them in an airtight container (of course i already did)

First of all I'm taking the bait. You're not supposed to bike on the sidewalk. It's a sideWALK not a sideBIKE. The bumps between the cement from tree roots, the sudden changes or starts and stops of sidewalk path, and the curbs at either end of the block are three good reasons. It's also meant for PEDESTRIANS going 3 mph, not bikes going 20+. It's also more dangerous crossing roads from the sidewalk point. It's also ILLEGAL TO BIKE ON THE SIDEWALK YOU STUPID FUCKING SHIT. Learn the fucking law.
I regularly get 25+ mph on my road bike (ROAD BIKE, EVEN IN THE NAME, ROAD. R-O-A-D.)

The glass on my French press finally cracked after 4 years. Apparently this is a common issue.
What is a good brewing method that won't take a huge chunk out of my paycheck to replace it with? I don't mind too much cleaning up after, but I don't want it costing like $70 or something ridiculous like that.
Or should I just stick with the French press and get another? $20 every 4 years isn't too bad I guess...
Why do I always get craving for coffee right before I have to go to sleep?
>>7695154
I drink coffee anyway, the warmth just makes me more sleepy after 10pm.
>>7695065
I'd say try a Chemex or aeropress.
I've used my aeropress almost daily for over 8 years and it was like $30.
I got a 6 cup chemex that I use when I want to make more than a cup at a time and I think I paid around $40 for it.
>>7695154
That is gramatically incorrect.
>>7674205
Nespresso, Darkhan.
>>7695608
I'll go for the Chemex, perhaps. I'm making for more than one person, plus I like to have another mug. Or 3.
Has anyone used/uses one?
The only coffee I have ever tasted has been overroasted, poorly-brewed shit, and it tasted like death and bitterness. I want to like coffee, but I want to start right. I was planning on getting an aeropress, but I don't know where to start with beans. Order online? Or go with untested local stuff?
>>7685674
nice
nescafe original instant with fat-free milk, like almost always
>>7695648
Your sure about that?
>>7696624
Yeah, same most mornings.
>>7674205
Just had a cup of starbucks morning blend from the keurig.
Just ran out. About to head out to Starbucks to pick something up
Hopefully they arent still pushing Sulawesi. I've never had such a boring cup before that shit

I sometimes crave Instant over grounds
Well instant cappuchino I guess. Maxwell House and Hill Bros is all I need some days
Medium roasted Peruvian origin.
Gonna grind some and make some moka pot.

If everyone had this sort of attitude towards most things we'd all be better off

Both.
Buy in small amounts (e.g. half-pounds) as a means of testing, then order what you like by the pound.
My sister started working at starbucks and it turns out they have 16 coffee roasts and out of that 16 they have 3 on drip brew all the time. if you request one of the others they will grind the coffee beans and do a pour over for you, never knew about this. i think its worth trying out

Maybe I should get the Baratza Encore instead of the Virtuoso. Since 220 seems a bit much for grinding. What are the Pros of the Virtuoso over the Encore?
And also Gaggia and Silvia are a bit over my price range. Something around $200 or less.

>What are the Pros of the Virtuoso over the Encore?
http://www.letsgrindsomecoffee.com/baratza-encore-vs-virtuoso/
Essentially: virtuoso has a chrome finish, a 60 second timer, and higher quality burrs.
It might be possible to install a virtuoso's burrs (which can be bought separate) into an encore though. You should be able to find an upgrade guide on a coffee forum.
>>7698233
I've figured out a good setup for me to use.
Setup:
Chemex or Hario V60
Baratza Encore
Hario Coffee Drip Scale/Timer
Hario V60 Buono
SterlingPro French Coffee Press
This is going to be cheaper in the long run, but less convenient. Which is fine.
I can put the Buono on a stove top without burning it correct?
Need the French Press for Foaming Milk.
And now I think I'm satisfied with my choices. For set for the differences of a Chemex and the V60.

The encore isn't quite consistent enough for traditional espresso. It might go fine enough but no guarantees. It can do pressurized-portafilter espresso but you'll have limitation on how good of a shot you can pull. Anyway, it's always worth it to save on a good grinder because if you ever want to upgrade your espresso game, you'd already have a suitable grinder. You can't really get a good espresso machine lower than $200 besides getting really lucky in a thrift shop or craigslist. <$200 machines are mostly fake espresso machines that are basically moka pots with panarello steam wands.
>>7698995
why?
what makes the >$200 better?

>tfw working at a reserve store Starbucks so we get beans that most other stores don't and they taste amazing 9/10 times compared to the regular ones we always carry
Feels pretty good desu currently enjoying coffee from Tanzania and it's a lighter roast
I drink Wilkins Instant Coffee, don't you?
>>7699015
What makes grinders more expensive is how consistent they can do espresso-fine and french press-coarse.
>>7699187
I thought you were referring to the coffee machines, not grinders
What is the best-tasting sweetest coffee you have ever had?
>>7699245
Coffee isn't supposed to be sweet, i'm pretty sure.
>milk
>ice
>sugar
>instant coffee
Coffee flavored milk is choice.
>>7699245
New Orleans style from Red Band is pretty good.
>>7699916
coffee is not supposed to be sweet per se but its not supposed to be bitter either
a certain level of acidity actually is fine though
Just used my french press to get me through the rest of this project a client needs. Might actually have me jazzed for longer than I want to stay up.

I drink solely black when I make it myself, but next time you eat vietnamese food, get a coffee (hot or iced) with condensed milk

lol
>>7700945
I'm just glad I didn't spend money on one of the fucking special cups and metal straws before I tried it. It's actually not that bad, tastes like green tea but without the bitterness.
But I LIKE the bitterness of tea and coffee.

How much was the card worth?
