I work at Starbucks, own my own espresso machine, two french presses, and a regular drip coffee machine
And a moka pot
Found one in a thrift store for $25. Fully working and with all the parts. Feels good man.
A personal sized french press
>>7695574
I actually have a Mr. Coffee that I bought at kohls. It's a 12 cup drip model with a delay brew feature that I use almost every morning.
The preground stuff I use, I buy weekly from a local farmers market where they grind it to order.
I am 100% positive that the way I make my coffee is more convenient and easier - while tasting just as good - as all the idiot faggots that will reply to this thread with their BS meme coffee contraptions.
>>7695574
>my meth lab
>>7695574
Aeropress. I thought it was just a meme when I first got one, but it's more efficient and tastes better than pourover, and faster than moka pot or drip machine.
>>7697851
I fell for the aeropress meme as well, and honestly it works pretty well.

Local fresh roasted coffee beans, Baratza Encore grinder, Chemex 6-cup carafe, pre-folded unbleached filters, electric temperature controlled swan neck kettle.
15 seconds to pre infuse double coffee weight in 202F water, 30 seconds to bloom, remainder of water (16:1 ratio) added starting at 45s mark at 202F and completed by 3min mark, brewing completed by 5min mark.
>>7695574
I use a keurig and drink it black or with a little chocolate ice cream in it.
I'm a lazy college student, I just get some good quality preground beans and use a stovetop espresso if I feel like it, but it doesn't produce a lot of coffee so most of the time I honestly just go to tim hortons and get a black iced coffee
French press has a great balance of quality with ease and affordability.

It's almost like you are willing to sacrifice a modicum of flavour for an immense increase in convenience.

I make coldbrew with a french press. You can get away with using cheap coffee because you aren't burning the beans. And hot coffee puts me to sleep because im a pussy.

Bodum French press
its the easiest way to make good coffee
is it me or does barely anyone around here use an espresso machine?
why not?
like actual reasoning would be welcome because I'm looking to get a machine and I'm wondering if I should get a separate grinder or a fully-automatic one
has any anon tried both variants to be able to judge nicely and share their thoughts?
>>7698578
Who wants to clean one, when you can just rinse a moka pot or French press under the tap?
I put in two cups of creamer and slam pre-ground coffee that I make gallons of at a hotel. Who cares how their drugs taste, I only drink coffee because of the effects that it has on me.
Been loving aeropress for my morning cup, but I've been using the chemex this weekend. A well done chemex over these Chanchamayo Peruvian beans tastes amazing.
>>7695587
corporate shill pls go
>>7698578
The ceiling for a traditional espresso maker is higher, but many of the first cups will suck until you get to know your machine. And cleaning is a bitch.
Automatic espresso machines consistently make good coffee, and have extremely easy cleaning and maintenance, but the ceiling for your coffee is not as high.

How do you like your Encore? I'm looking at grinders in that price range. Moving up from a manual grinder.
I exclusively use a v60. If I lived with others I would buy a Technivorm Moccamaster like >>7695985
French press if I'm making it. Though if my roommate is up and moving I'll get him to make me an espresso.
>>7698578
Cost. How many $3 latte's can you just buy from a cafe before you end up spending more than the espresso machine?
I want to buy one of those vacuum coffee makers because I've been on a retro kick. Are they a pain in the ass to use?
1.put coffee grounds into some water
2.filter out the grounds

Do different cold brews taste the same to you guys? Every coffee shop I go to it tastes the same. Even nicer shops that source and roast their own beans. Whereas pour overs will taste wildly different.
>>7700553
Ha! I actually got that backwards, I have a Virtuoso now and used to have an Encore.
The Encore is perfectly fine for home use, but the Virtuoso is a significant step up, with FAR fewer fines and a more consistent grind.
>>7700691
I've found bean quality to matter more to cold brew than drip. maybe not at much as pour over, I don't buy that out because it's what I drink at home mostly.

Bought the aeropress for camping and have been using it more and more. I really don't even use my normal drip coffee make anymore at all.

Well lucky you.
I enjoy french press enough, anyways. If I want espresso I go to the local coffee shop down the street and meet up with friends.
Just bought an aeropress, already have a pretty good grinder, looking forward to using it I guess. At the moment I have a drip machine that I grind beans for, but it's just pikes place whole beans, what are some overly pretentious ones your recommend?

Tried it once, was way too bitter. I probably didn't use enough coffee.
Buy beans, roast them, grind them, french press. Or I use a kcup if I am feeling lazy.
please respond
Can anyone advise regarding a grinder for espresso? Can the encore cut it if it's adjusted internally to the fine setting, or do I need to step it up ?
Or actually let me ask this:
- do you make espresso, and if so
- what grinder do you use?
And can anyone recommend a good French press/criteria for selecting a good French press?

One spoon of international roast
One spoon milk powder
Add hot water
I boil 500ml of water and stop the kettle when the water vapor starts to sting my hand a bit, but it's well below boiling point.
Then I add 18g of preground coffee into my french press, add the water, swish it around a bit and let it brew for 3 minutes.
Best coffee ever.
I tried to enjoy whole bean for a while, but it tasted like water and mold even though all the proportions were identical.
>>7698094
hey I make coldbrew as my main way of drinking coffee too.
I normally fill a 1L container with four tablespoons of very course strong grounds. Left overnight in the fridge the grounds pack down enough that I can pour it out into another container without having to filter and I use that roughly 750ml of concentrated coffee as my coffee for the day, diluting it 1:1 with iced water when I drink it.
Takes two minutes at night before I go to bed, and another minute when I wake up to get coffee all day for zero effort.
Aeropress and a Porlex Mini, Australian though so I can get good espresso at most places when im out
I just make chi' style cold brew coffee m8,
3/4 cup of coarse grounds to 1L of water, double or half these if you want I'm not the cops
Cover and refrigerate for 24h or leave at room temp for 12
Filter that shit with cheesecloth or paper filters through a strainer till there's no grounds, pour it into your serving jug and pour over ice (maccas will give you a bag of ice for fucking spare change)
If you're not stupid you'll also make simple syrup by boiling sugar water, then adding vanilla extract, damn son you just made vanilla syrup to flavor it with because normal sugar doesn't mix well in cold coffee
>accustomed to buying pre-ground coffee
>finally buy hand mill
>buy whole beans and grind them at home
>coffee tastes exactly the fucking same
I can't believe I fell for such silly meme
>>7698578
If an espresso machine is affordable, it's shit-tier. It's undeniably one of the best forms of coffee but the only reason I use it is because of having high quality ones at work, most people can't afford anything that's good. Anything you're looking at buying will likely give you average shit.
Also, there's a fair bit of skill behind it. Takes you a few months to be legitimately good, most people haven't got the time for that, unless they're getting paid.
Whole bean dark Italian roast, ground in a manual grinder and then perc'd in a Moka pot. Only until I can get a real espresso machine.
>>7707997
you must have poor taste
freshly ground beans taste a lot less bitter and a lot more sweet to be than preground

>>7709081
looks like that anon just got
roasted
Ok so, on a scale of 1-10 what's the difference between
A. Whole beans ground in an airtight container, exposed to no sunlight, but brewed a day after grinding.
Vs
B. Whole beans ground 15 seconds before brewing.
I am considering a hand grinder, since with the aeropress I received would eliminate all need for electricity and allow me to brew some fine coffee anywhere, but is it worth it. My electric grinder can also do an espresso grind.
>>7709025
Ah great, more biased blabbering bullshit generalizations, I was missing that for a bit
Thanks for contributing absolutely nothing, anon
I grind coffee beans and use a filter machine. I'm not an autist.
>>7709949
Mate, I use an espresso machine every day. They're not worth it unless you are rich beyond your dreams. For the price range, aeropress is objectively better in every single quantifiable measure.
>>7709606
If you grind it just before brewing I got the impression that the ground coffee had a stronger fragrance/smell, but didn't really feel any difference in the actual coffee afterwards
>inb4 hoards of raging autists raging about the immense differences
>>7709606
Around 7 ish. I definitely notice some changes in crema when utilising older grounds, even if they've been stored correctly, but it's more a case of not getting the full flavour as opposed to the flavour being "bad". It still tastes fine, but maybe not excellent.
>>7709954
Mate this is the single most useless argument you could've made. Just stop. People will see the thread being bumped, expecting something of use or relevant to be posted
>>7709972
How is it a useless argument? The original question was asking why no one used an espresso machine, that is the legitimate answer.
>>7696015
this and pic related,
depends on coffee I'd like to drink.
had several machines but I prefer old fashion.
>>7710000
There were 3 questions. To make it more useful you could say what machine you're using now. What machine(s) have you used in the past? How do they compare? What's this huge difference in quality that you need to pay whatever you mean by huge amounts of money for a fancy machine?
What so you even mean by "affordable"? Do you realize how subjective that is? Affordable for me might mean much less than for you, and much more than for whoever else
Etc.
Basically the take-away from your 3-4 posts is that some guy out there thinks you need to spend big for an espresso machine, while there's a high chance that he hasn't really tried more than one other $20 machine at an inexperienced friend's place once, and found that the coffee from the fancy machine at work is better. Ergo useless
>>7710048
Alright nice projection bruh. I work as a barista tutor at a cooking school. I could answer the questions but it's evident that you're not going to take any of my answers seriously.

For brewed coffee, up to overnight is fine. Wouldn't go too far past 12 hours though.
For espresso no more than 30 minutes.
>>7709954
I disagree. Espresso at home is worth it, but only if it's something you enjoy as a hobby too. A bare minimum setup (that's still worth using) will be around $800 and it goes up a lot for there, twice that is still fairly low end and three times is just mid level. For a hobby, that's not too wild. But for just a drink, it's quite a lot. Personally, I really enjoy the hobby and have a fair bit of money in coffee and espresso.
Unless you're ordering shots out every day for $3-$4 (keep in mind you'll be using about $1 in beans per shot before factoring in the dial in), if you do that it could make sense.
>>7711092
Interesting, I guess a hand grinder might be a fine investment then, and I can just bring a selection of whole beans around. I meant that my electric grinder can do an espresso fine grind, like dust. I wonder if a hand grinder can do that too.
>>7711092
What products are you basing those prices on? What the "minimum level" grinder and espresso machine according to you?
>>7711861
Sette grinder (it's not purchasable yet, but nothing I'd currently call worthwhile exists at that price) for $380. Leaves $420 for the machine, a Caravel is pretty easy to get for that. A used Silvia with a PID perhaps too.
If you're ok with more hands on, a Pharos ($300) and EspressoForge ($300) will get you some good shots, but it's very much a manual process.
>>7695574

most supermarket coffee is robusta or a blend of robusta and arabica.
Nobody actually uses coffee siphons in their house, do they?
If I don't buy it I use my dad's percolator. For whatever reason, probably nostalgia, he refuses to use anything else, so until I'm done with grad school and out of the house it's my only option.
>>7714809
???
Just buy your own coffee maker or french press then?
First and last time buying preground, what a fucking joke, I was desperate and forgot my beans at home on the way to work, next time I'll just turn back around and be late instead.

No, not necessarily, it was probably because the market I went to had a shit selection and it was on the shelf for a decade.
yes. Yes. YES YESYESYES I love coffee I love how it stains my teeth poop colored brown and love how it makes me so fucking jittery I can't even hold my gun to my skull without hearing the taptaptaptaptap of the barrel hitting my noggin. I love chomping the beans by the handful until it makes me sick I puke and cry for hours.When I administer my weekly coffee enema the burning is so intense that I swear I can feel my intestines bubbling and tissue melting together.

I had a Gevalia 12 cup drip I got for free at my first job cleaning out their upstairs attack thing. It made great coffee and I loved it. My roommate came home one day with a k-cup Kurig machine and says that we need to use it now. I say whatever and we get rid of my old one. Once it's gone I make a drink with the Kurig. The coffee tastes like shit and I want my Old machine back rn, but it's gone for good.
Fucking Kurig sucks ass and should die already.

Why throw it out if it still works you dumb cunt? Also,why not test the new one first.
I basically use a Keurig at home 99% of the time. I never thought I would get this way, but after I bought one a few years ago for my girlfriend it's convenience took priority.
It's still 5x better than that shit they serve at my work, although there is a local chain of coffee shops that sell really good coffee (I drink that or my Keurig).
I have a vacuum pot, drip machine, espresso machine, French press, and a Vietnamese coffee press. It's sad that I haven't even the drip machine in a long time.
With the hot weather, I'll probably start making drip coffee this weekend and keep it in the fridge for cold coffee.

I've tried 4 or 5 different brew methods, and just soaking the shit overnight at room temperature turned out to be what makes the most consistently delicious cup, and brings the effort required per cup down to near-zero.

I prepare mine in the Armenian style: I grind down the roasted beans to a superfine powder, put a demitasse cup of water into the jazva, a heaping tea spoon (like a spoon for tea, not measurement) and a less heaping spoonful of sugar, stir, boil it until it starts to flood upwards, scoop off the foam into the cup, then bring it to a boil again, and voila.
I do this every day, and it's great.
I'm trying "cold brewing" for the first time. I googled up the instructions and they were telling me specifically to use fresh coffee beans and ground them myself, but all I had was regular ol' pre-grounded Yuban coffee. I filled a measuring cup with water and scooped in some of the Yuban coffee, then I mixed it around a little with a spoon since the coffee grounds stacked on the top, then I put it in the fridge. At this point, I think I'm supposed to wait 8-12 hours for it to do its cold brewing magic and then I use a strainer+coffee filter to separate the grounds from the coffee and I have a cold brewed coffee.
Does this all sound okay? I've never done this before and I'm a little nervous about leaving an open container of water in the fridge. I worry that bacteria or mold could form overnight. Am I gonna be alright?
>>7720589

because I'm a pussy faggot who worries about things too much, I just covered the top of this measuring cup with cling plastic wrap just to be safe.
