coffee

Everyone here talks about the Hario Switch. And I like the oils you get from a French press, so I want a stainless steel filter too. I had some good experiences buying a cheap manual grinder on Ali Express (Jaffee J1 w/ 7 core burr), so I wanted to set out to see if I could do the same with this set up....

Hi folks, I’m a bit new to the addiction club, but recently acquired the Bialetti to my addition of coffee machines. I am uncertain to what level of grind should I buy for the Bialetti? Filter or Espresso? And if I grind myself, I have an electric one, how long do I grind it for?

I’ve been using my grinder (Baratza maestro plus) for ten years now, and I got it used. I’ve replaced some parts (e.g., burrs), but I’m wondering if it’s finally time to let it go. It seems like it’s not grinding as consistently as it once was, but I’m thinking it would be good to quantify it....

I’m wondering if we should start a sticky post which contains everyone’s collection of Bean/Grinder+Setting/Brew method information as a reference. It’s always good to have a nice starting point....

Any suggestions for roasted decaf beans I can get Canada?

I mainly want to get a coffee grinder because beans have a longer shelf life and are cheaper. If I also get better coffee, that’s a bonus! (Basically, I’m not looking for a premium option)...

Starting down the rabbit hole and wondering if people would suggest their favorite independent coffee roaster that do online shopping....

When I placed the order for a new Baratza Encore ESP, I also picked up this bellow for the hopper to push the left over grinds out of the machine. I posted a picture of the grinder earlier this month....

I currently use a pretty nice Ninja coffee maker but I’m trying to simplify my coffee experience and found using a pour over coffee maker to be somewhat therapeutic. It may sound weird but I felt more connected to the coffee....

Basically the title....

I decidedly do not like to drink coffee from stainless. Something about it seems to boost acidity. Borsillicate glass is my preference for mugs, but to keep my chemex brew warm in between the Chemex and my mug is there any reason to get a glass lined carafe (bit more fragile) vs a pure stainless carafe?...

I’m sur a lot of you have seen this video from James Hoffmann discussing the massive differences observed when spritzing some water on the beans before grinding....

I have started my journey in coffee some years ago, and I can tell when I like coffee based on its flavour, texture, acidity but the only thing I cannot taste is sweetness. What do I need to look for?

Not with their end product - the powder itself is excellent. But every little packet is plastic, and doesn’t have to be. The world has such a serious problem with plastics, and for a lot of products it’s kind of necessary, but this is not one of them....

The nice thing I just learned about the Sette 30 ( which I just received as a Christmas gift) is that you can upgrade it to the micro-adjustment ring from the Sette 270/270wi model, and it’s a direct replacement. This allows adjusting the grind between the “steps” on the adjustment ring....

My wife gifted me a Baratza Sette 30 grinder this Christmas, after last year’s first espresso machine, the Gaggia Classic Pro. Using the 'ol reliable Virtuoso for grinding was ok, and I could pull decent shots from the Gaggia, but the Sette 30 makes it so much easier. I love being able to put 18.5g of beans into the grinder,...

Curious what folks like to do with spent coffee grounds / espresso pucks / stale beans. Personally have tried to use as fertilizer with limited success, used as a substrate for growing oyster mushrooms, and in cooking (brown bread made with some stale espresso grind really helps the flavor).

I usually brew 2-3 cups of coffee in the morning in the Moccamaster. Sometimes around midday I’ll make a single cup of decaf in my v60....

I have been making the occasional coworker a cup of aeropressed coffee with good reviews thus far. Being that it is shift work, most of my coworkers are used to drinking the reduced syrup of a pot that’s been left on the burner too long (one coworker thanked me for leaving it for her!). Many don’t even know coffee doesn’t...

So about two weeks ago my 9-cup pot started failing. Instead of a nice rich flow, it did nothing until it started to boil, and then produced about 3 of it’s 9 ‘cups’ via a disgusting tasting over boiled sputtering mess....

For the ones who find ourselves in the second slide of this strip....

Tinker’s coffee is making yet another appearance. It seems every time I start thinking, “I should order some more coffee.” I’m getting a text from them informing me they just got a new coffee in. So I’m still happily stuck on the Tinker treadmill. As always I prepared my coffee in French Press using the James Hoffmann...

Spoiler, its RDT...
