Title: The Coffee Thread
Post by: The Mick-a-nator on Tue, 01 March 2016, 10:53:35: I couldn't see a thread for the great saviour of mornings!

Pour-over king, or Starbucks junkie? Show and/or tell us of your favourite kit, methods and beans!

For example, I just use an aeropress in the inverted style. Currently using a hazelnut flavoured bean from west india coffee co. kept black for maximum deliciousness.

There's been a lot of talk about coffee in this thread. I personally really love Aeropress and French Press with beans from a local roaster called Coffee Emporium.

Post by: Findecanor on Tue, 01 March 2016, 14:23:20: Medium-roasted Fair-trade Organic Arabica beans, drip-brewed with a splash of low-fat milk. That is what I like.
Nothing fancy. Sugar or any flavouring should not be needed.

I am not a fan of espresso, latte, cappucino or any of that crap.
When I went to Italy last year, most of the coffee was indistinguishable from tar. It was only at any of the fancier coffee places where the coffee was even passable.

Post by: Malenky on Tue, 01 March 2016, 20:38:03: I work in a cafe making coffees on professional stuff, but at home I use a Sage Duo Temp, some cheap De'Longhi grinder and usually Lavazza Esspresso beans.
Title: Re: The Coffee Thread
Post by: SpAmRaY on Sun, 26 March 2017, 17:03:07: Anyone have a recommendation for a good but cheap coffee grinder?

I got some free coffee with a book I bought and it's whole bean.

After grinding I would use it with an aeropress or possibly a refillable kcup.

Post by: Theconejo on Tue, 28 March 2017, 19:07:48: I miss the ****ty bodega coffee from a corner store in Brooklyn that I would buy before opening up the restaurant. I would take 2 sips while it was hot and then put it down. I would get busy with deliveries, making the food for the day and desserts. 2 hours later I would realize I hadn't drank it and then would proceed to drink it cold. After a while of doing that and not feeling good with milk I switched to black.

I drink Americanos usually as my wife likes lattes. We borrowed my father in laws all in one machine which will never be returned.

Title: Re: The Coffee Thread
Post by: noobas4urus on Fri, 07 April 2017, 13:57:57: Coffee is love, coffee is life. On weekdays I usually do a french press in the morning, transfer to 2 thermoses and ride that out for the day. The coffee we have at work is pretty garbage and I'm usually torn away from my desk for the better part of the day.

I want to try cold brew this summer, I hear good things!

Hrrrrrrmm.. I think you've got a the best method there.

The plastic containers will leech plasticizers into your coffee.. and the METAL containers are metal, so it will change the taste of the coffee because acids react with metals.

Post by: Theconejo on Fri, 07 April 2017, 15:00:22: Any time I made cold brew I would leave it out overnight on the counter. Room temp may help pull more of the oils/flavors from the grounds I think.

I also just use a giant mason jar, and poor it all through a filter after 24 hours. You don't need one of those things... :p

Recently I just make a little cubano type thing with my aeropress. Not warm enough for cold brew yet

Does the coffee you buy @ the store contain pathogens that require heat to kill ?

I'm didn't think about this, before I put my cold water in.. it's boiled water which has cooled to room temp

But now that I think about it.. the designed consumption path is probably NOT- cold brew..

They wouldn't sell it in the store if you needed to add hot water to kill bacteria.

Are you sure?

They sell vegetables and meats that you need to cook..

Or for example tapioca starch, if you don't cook it, you get food poisoning.

Did you make cold brew and drink too much of it? It's a concentrate when made properly so you need to dilute it.

I took the normal amount of coffee (relative to water) that I use for hot coffee,

Put the exact multiple relative to the 1500ml ball jar I'm using. left it overnight

But it is way way stronger .. I've made like least 20 posts today already..

you can use honey, but honey is actually a bit sour. so depending on the coffee, it may or may not work well.

Coconut sugar is my wife's go to.

Also properly made cold brew coffee should not be bitter at all and should basically taste like chocolate milk:)

So first impression is good.

I went ahead and added some milk and it made an excellent breakfast drink.

I put the coarse grounds (15 clicks on the hario slim) in a mason jar with water (3 cups) let it sit out overnight (12 hours) on the counter then poured through a nut milk bag into a bowl then filtered it again through the aeropress.

Yeah I've been wanting to try making my own yogurt so the nut milk bag will help with that to.

For my next cold brew, I gotta figure out the ratio I want to use. For this go around I just wanted to try it out so I wasn't being very exact.

How concentrated did you make it? r/coffee has a bunch of guides for cold brew depending on how strong you want it.

Got my first cold brew going. :D

Let us know what you think man!
So first impression is good.

I went ahead and added some milk and it made an excellent breakfast drink.

I put the coarse grounds (15 clicks on the hario slim) in a mason jar with water (3 cups) let it sit out overnight (12 hours) on the counter then poured through a nut milk bag into a bowl then filtered it again through the aeropress.

Very nice man. I need to get a nut milk bag.

Yeah I've been wanting to try making my own yogurt so the nut milk bag will help with that to.

For my next cold brew, I gotta figure out the ratio I want to use. For this go around I just wanted to try it out so I wasn't being very exact.

How concentrated did you make it? r/coffee has a bunch of guides for cold brew depending on how strong you want it.
I used 3 cups of water and filled the hario slim hopper up ~1.5 times.

It seemed like a lot when I mixed it up but didn't taste overly concentrated. I could drink it straight.

Next time I'll get a scale out and weigh some whole beans before I grind.

I gotta get some different whole beans to. The ones I've got now came from some place upstate that was giving away coffee with book purchases.

Yeah weighing it would help give you a better idea of how strong your brew is. Do you source your whole beans from local roasters?

These are the first and only whole beans I've ever had. I'm still new to all this. :P

I'd check out local roasters in your area or can order beans online.

How was that? I hear people putting some sort of fat(butter or beef) into their coffee which is insane to me. Hot sauce though, I'm not sure.

It was different, I also used heavy cream and sugar so it all blended together.

Edit: So I added a bit more this morning and it definitely makes things interesting. The chili pepper flavor really comes out.

Edit 2: OK now its starting to get gross...
