Idk how you get crema with a mokapot. I got a shit one from tjmax for like 6$ but the beans are quality. Tried boiling water first, then moka on low heat... Still nothing. Do I blame the tools here?

I thought you have to stop the heat on the moka pot before the froth comes. I've been told it's "over extraction" at that point and the taste gets more "herbal" if you let the froth get out
Any anons can weigh in? I kind so taste the difference but it's subtle

Nice! Old cafe reclaim or just someone downsizing? Been sipping on single lot panama geshas from minmax these last few weeks. Found 75g of a blend(?) of some leftovers sitting in a stack of cups so I should probably just rip some shots with the stepdown basket today. Pretty sure its mostly worka sakaro with a little anaerobic brazilian. Also been slightly conserving my good empirical water since I thought I was set to 4 month deliveries. Turns out I never saved it so I've got another batch otw :)

>>21537819
>Nice! Old cafe reclaim or just someone downsizing?
both? i think, i just had a short conversation with a friend and said they might be sending something my way "temporarily"
so they still want it but just need someone to take it off their hands for a while so they can figure out what to do with it or where to put it
but yeh excited regardless
after like 3(4?) years of moka and pour over and manual grinding it will be interesting to experience espresso and an electric grinder
i think from the picture its an "old" ECM Classika
i was going to(and probably still will) get a flair 58x whatever next year sometime but this will hopefully be able to inform me of if i even enjoy espresso and also if i do of what i like and how to achieve it
also who knows, maybe the robur(at least thats what i believe it is from the blurry picture) will change how i feel about electric grinders
also i have been told the machine has been "cleaned" but no word on the grinder so i might have to take that apart first to make sure there isnt years of ultra dark roast oils gunked up inside

>>21537847
>will change how i feel about electric grinders
Just keep in mind thats a burr set designed for the "pressure" of 2+kg in the hopper. It'll be hard to do a true head to head with the hg1p. I'd be crossing my fingers its the 71mm single phase set so you can try that out.
>flair 58
My launch model is still going strong. Tossed in new orings a few months back and haven't even bothered relubing. Thing is a fucking tank.

i've had worse
it channeled halfway through the brew so im not surprised it wasnt good
same as the last brew, so i went finer
no luck
well, when in doubt double down
ill go finer again next time

update
i got a higher res picture
its not the classika its the Giotto
and the grinder looks exactly like a robur but it says "saeco" on the side
and it looks like the grind adjustment is done via 2 screws on the front
looks like you need a flathead to turn them
and the pressure gauge only goes up to 2.5 bar
or is that just for the steam wand maybe? idk shit about espresso machines so i hope you can help me
i hope its not junk haha.

>>21538930
>grinder looks exactly like a robur but it says "saeco" on the side
Might be a Hercules or Ulissa? 83 or 64mm flats. Think the Herc is a rebranded fiorenzato(makers of pietro) f6.
>giotto
Do some research. Looks like the old old ones had a tendency to burn out their control boxes? EAF is probably going to be your most responsive resource there. Could just be an old italian shitbox. Try not to electrocute yourself.

>>21538996
>Might be a Hercules or Ulissa?
nah thats not it
oh i found it, Mazzer Mini-E type B
looks like 64mm Steel Flat
i pigeon holed my mind thinking that because it looked like the robur it HAD to be a type of robur, but thats simply what a lot of mazzer grinders look like so i should expand my search to just mazzer in general.
and thanks for the links
:)
> Looks like the old old ones had a tendency to burn out their control boxes?
well he said he cleaned it but i dont think he said anything about it running or having used it
ill double check

>>21539062
Ah gotcha. Superjolly with a fancier doser. Should be real simple(and reversible) to unscrew that and single dose. Who knows how much life in the burrs. Could be 20 years old at this point. If they end up letting you keep it for a while I'd suggest looking into lebrew/other 64mm churrs but you probably get fucked on the pricing like everything else. Wonder what postage to aus would be like for a few pairs of ceramic HUs.

>>21539120
>If they end up letting you keep it for a while
probably 6 months
im not planning on investing in the grinder as i already have one that works perfectly well
but i might buy some new/better tools/invest in the espresso machine and then ask if my friend will reimburse the cost
or if he simply doesnt want me poking around in his machine then fair enough and ill get out of it whatever i can.
luckily its already well seasoned so i dont need to buy beans to season it but i did go ahead and buy a few kilos because i assume its going to take me probably a kilo or more of playing with it to fully understand it.
better to have more than not enough

>>21535422 (OP)
i move that mokka isn't coffee

>>21537918
Metal construction would loose heat too quickly and be too hot to touch.

>>21538615
Grayscale type motherfucker

>>21538615
The Giannina is with me, I'm just not using it for 1 cup brews since my Venus has the E&B filter.

My stomach is recovering well, this was my second coffee post surgery and I'm taking my chances making moka pot coffee rather than filter which is more gentle, but so far I'm quite fine, just minor discomfort.

The gut was healing until I had surgery, when it was fucked up for some reason (they had to do something there) and now I patiently have to wait and keep taking the antibiotics.

For the next coffee I'll switch back to filter coffee to avoid pushing my hand, because recovery takes time.

Thanks for asking. :D

>>21539454
>0:36
fucking ruined

>>21539470
It tasted good though!

The gas was already turned off by the time the moka was half full but the residual heat combined with the coarse grind which made the extraction quite fast achieved the vulcanic phase, even if it was quick.

The blend is 80% robusta and 20% arabica, dark chocolate and toasted bread with hazelnut notes. Low acidity.

Next time I'm going finer, since actually I ground coarse (2.6.0 on the JX Pro S) not because of the E&B filter slowing the flow but because since it's an Italian roast when they see "medium" roast it's actually close to dark.

>>21539474

Is a moka pot better than a french press?

If I drink coffee from a moka pot will it be like there's a party in my mouth and everyone's invited?

>>21539570
Yes.
Moka pot is for people who actually like coffee, unlike fr*nch press.

>>21539570
french press is fail safe, mokapot is moody as hell

New to pour over coffee, made the mistake of buying a bag of ling roasted beans. This shit taste like puke. How do I make it less sour, or do I have to throw it away?

is a modded gaggia classic pro really as good as a high end machine?

It means "gay"

>>21540519
takes one to know one

>>21539935
can you get it under 100kb?

Third wave is just the evolution of coffee, you know, like coffee had become boring and needed to move on. I only started drinking coffee with third wave so I don't have any experience prior to that, but it was boring and we needed to do something else. I mean, I don't even like coffee that tastes like coffee, you know, it's just gross. Dark roasts? Gives me the ick to be quite honest. Coffee needs to be like tea, but not boring. Like, pouring water on tea leaves? Major yawn. I need the gear, the process. That's what coffee is about at the end of the day.

>>21540494
>>21540519
not everybody is lucky some of us hate coffee but still want to partake

>>21540444
For me its single lot panama gesha spro. Straight from the freezer. Auromar firestone today. Janson or Lerida tomorrow.
>>21540494
Sounds like a skill issue.

>>21540540
Have you heard of a drink called tea?

>>21540540
This so much this. Dilute it with water milk or even G-d forbid tonic i don't care. Anything to mask the taste. We will obsess and fetishize the gear so might as well make it palatable.

>>21539595
>How do I make it less sour, or do I have to throw it away?
You need to increase extraction.
>grinder finer
>use hotter water
>increase agitation
>for immersion techniques, increase brew time
Make sure it's at least 2 weeks off roast, too.

Is Legato/Apex + DF chink shit decent buy in current year?
Kinda want to try espresso game but don't want to spend..

>>21540684
Long time flair58 owner here. If I were looking at a cheap pump machine its real fucking hard to ignore the new brass boiler gaggias + gagguino now. Probably about to go on black friday sales too. Grinder is a crapshoot depending on your tastes.
>don't want to spend
Could either save ~$200 or waste ~$200 on a shardor(vs df64) depending on how long it lasts and how fucked the alignment is out of the box. That $200 would get you two sets of lebrews.

Are manual flat burr grinders a thing? Or are flat burrs forever in the realm of electric grinders?

>>21540761
Yes.

Thinking about upgrading from my Flair Pro 2 to a Profitec Go. The Flair Pro 2 is good but the tedium of using it/pulling back to back shots is a significant drawback, and I have some money to blow on a nicer machine. I guess the question is whether I should also upgrade my grinder (J max) or stick with it and get a dedicated filter grinder since I also enjoy pour overs and the J max, while serviceable, isn’t ideal.

>>21540761
>Are manual flat burr grinders a thing?
yes but it takes forever to grind based on the reviews i've seen

>>21540761
Pietro. Linglong has one too.

>>21540782
The inconvenience is the only appeal of the flair.

>>21540745
Been looking into gaggiuino and gaggimate too, kinda split on that.
As for the grinder, I'm actually willing to spend more if it benefits me, even considering grind to weight.

just get an oxo rapid brewer :)

>>21540811
iuino is way further along in development and significantly more feature rich.
>actually willing to spend more
Sky is the limit. Heavy 64mm hitters would be the zerno, wpm zp1, and acaia orbit(if you want gbw). Cheaper option would be the new malk x64 but I haven't heard too much.

saw pictures of the grinder today
by far the worst state i have ever seen a grinder in
looked like it had been filled with mud and left for 10 years
actually that bad
but it has been cleaned
looks like being left in such a state for so long caused the burr coating(?) to wear out
burrs in general are in rough shape
but it looks like a total tear down and "deep" clean.
which is somewhat reassuring

nice cop today lads.
also mug or glass for your cups?

>>21541726
I use a glass mug when I'm dialing in so I can look at the color, but usually I have a couple of favorite mugs I rotate between

>>21541726
glass
it looks better and glass is inert unlike ceramic(no i dont care what you say, glass always smells clean when its clean but ceramic mugs dont, they impart a smell and flavor to the liquid/food that is in it)

>>21541726
Glass, because he cream mixing with the coffee looks cool.

>>21541498
It is made by a Chinese factory dipshit.
>>21541564
Yeah it's a 20 year old shitalian doser. That's why I suggested new burrs right off the bat. At its factory best it's a few rungs beneath a gen 1 df64. Hopefully it doesn't taint your bias even further.

Trying to decide my next beans; I've gone through nothing but Black&White Roasters: The Natural™ for the past half year, about 10 lbs worth.
I mainly do espresso, but I'll do v60 pourover every once in a while, I'm just not very skilled at pourover

>>21541429
I can't find this in Australia at all unfortunately, I don't want to blow it up with the wrong plug either. Additionally I'm not sure what grinder to buy for batch/pour over. I have a DF54 for my espresso.

You're in the land of Breville. Just get a Precision Brewer.

>>21542246
>new burrs right off the bat.
are those expensive? what burrs would fit?

>>21540830
Sure but diminishing returns. Thought about AllGrind Sense, seems okay.
The the question of espresso machine remains.
Going used like Profitec go may be viable but idk.. chink stuff does seem tempting, especially if they drop 11/11 rebates.

>>21543062
$30-$50 for me. Hundredish aud for you. More for ssp or other aftermarket makers. Probably less for chinese df64 stock burrs.

More than any other single thing, what is your top tip for having a great cup of coffee?

>>21543569

>>21543569
Understand your variables.

>>21543569

>>21537918
I don't want metal thermal transfer, I want hot coffee

Why can I not find the OXO Rapid Brewer in Canada?

>>21543569
You can ruin a perfectly nice cup of coffee through bad technique and equipment
You can't save shit coffee no matter the equipment you're using
Use good beans

>>21535861
I give you an example:
Ehefrau and me, when we use our 3 cups Bialetti, we grid the beans relatively fine, finer than recommended.
We use around 22 grams of ground coffee.

I have a very small spoon i use, that is even smaller than a normal tea spoon to fill the Bialettis funnel with ground coffe.
Normally, i take like three spoons at a time to fill into the funnel, then i streak over the ground coffee to make it evenly placed inside.
Aftet that, i bump the funnels nozzle on a hard surface to make the ground coffe settle and compact itself a little.
Repeat this process until you fit all the 22 grams of ground coffe in the funnel and use a tamper to compact it a little more. Don't press hard with force, just make it an even surface.

The Bialetti will then have to build up a slightly higher pressure to push the wather through the coffee.
It will be an even stronger coffee and will also build up a little foam.

Normally a Bialetti this size can only fit like 16 to 18 grams of ground coffee. We make it fit 21 to 22 grams.
While cooking, don't let it build up too much pressure, since it will channel too early and you get a lesser good extraction.
We usually extract very slowly.

i hate your coffee but your cooking is pretty good honestly

I recently got this and I find it to be a great in-between French press and moka pot

light roasted beans make for a perfect cappuccino with sugar tbqh
the mix of sugar and acidity in milk is god-like

>rest for 90 days
surely this a jest?

Forgot to put water in my <2 months old stainless steel moka pot and burnt the tank fuck my chungus life

I hate boomer facebook groups so much. Do they really think every single agricultural product isn't infested with insect parts? Why do people pretend like the grains they buy are not full of insect parts? Fruits have a lot of worms in them but we ignore that

>>21544560
>Do they really think
no

>>21544313
Why would it be?

>>21543755
Metal conducts heat very well, but an isolated piece of metal has nowhere to transfer the heat to, except for back to the hot coffee.
Metal is actually better for coffee (unless you're autistic enough to heat up ceramic)

>>21544648
it can transfer to the air
beyond that, a plastic body probably has less heat capacity, after accounting for how much lighter it would be than titanium

ahh....
gohee...
its good
:)

Is it normal that my pour-over coffee ground using a manual burr grinder is way better than the stuff from stores with expensive machines?

>>21545116
yes

>>21545116
yes
you are grinding for EXACTLY the size you need/want
$500k commercial grinders that are used to store brand ground coffee grinds for a "general" range which means its wrong if you know what you are doing and "good enough" if you dont.

>>21536582
Who doesn't?

A few months ago I went to Hawaii and bought a bunch of genuine kona and molokai coffee from their Costco. I am not much of a coffee drinker but my catgirl friend is. I put them in ziploc bags and put them in the basement where it's always 65-70 degrees but some have that little hole that lets gasses out. Should I not keep them in ziploc bags?

Also, did I do good getting good coffee cheap because I heard certain types are really inflating in price. Quick rundown on what please?

Thank You,

Forgot my puckscreen but the coffee is still perfect it was just less steady on the out

I love you /ctg/

>>21545309
And I love you, random Anon!

how many ml coffee do you guys brew and why is 200 the perfect amount

>>21545339

no not that much

>>21545339
About tree fitty.

>>21545375
Yeah about tree (hunnit) fitty em el sounds right

>>21545172
No one has any reccomendation about storing the coffee or the price increases?

>>21545443
Freeze your beans in an airtight container/jar

I like not having to wipe grounds off every shot. Also, it has 100% made all of my shots more steady and consistent.

The local roaster has been on holiday for a while and won't get back till later, and a bakery down the road that also sells their beans also just went on holiday,
so I resigned myself to supermarket beans.
Yeah, it has that strawberry additive.

>>21545946
>strawberry additive
yuck
why?

>cut up hario filter and put it in moka pot
>coffee comes out way better
it's THAT easy?

>>21546092
>it's THAT easy?
no
you just hate real moka coffee and cope by pretending that making it wrong is actually better

>>21546094
but all it did was take the edge off the bitterness while leaving the rest of the flavor and most of the body intact. it just tastes like a sweeter, less bitter version of the coffee i made without the filter yesterday.

>>21546097
>bitterness
skill issue
also it removes alot of the oils in the coffee

>>21546109
>skill issue
yeah i think i'm pretty bad at using the moka pot and this is an easy fix that even a retard like me can do so i will continue to do it

>>21546092
No, its even easier if you buy aeropress size filters

>>21535422 (OP)

Coffee requires elevation. Growing at 760masl doesn't produce good coffee, but you're paying a very high premium for US labor.

>>21546306
Lol.
Ask yourself if the Americans have ever been able to produce a good product.

>>21544253
Thanks, I hate both.

I don’t know what the fuck am I

>>21544253
Thank you.

I’m not satisfied with both, honestly my hater is right: I should KYS and end the madness once for all.

I’m really really tired.

>>21546325
Posting a shitty brew then offing yourself seems like one of the better case scenarios. Ride out into the sunset LARPing. Your coffee and your cooking both repeatedly hospitalize you.

Can I have some tips about how to make light roasts with my Flair?

I want to try making espresso before I lose hope in everything.

I think I'll make some delicious light roast espresso in my 46mm flair pro 2 conversion basket.

Finally got a WDT tool. Is my next espresso going to make me cum?
Also, anything I should expect? Do I need to adjust my grind size?

>>21546551
>anything I should expect?
cum

>>21546551
no, tapping the portafilter >>> any wdt

Cheapest cookware to make half decent coffee in? I get a bag of coffee from my work each month and so far I've just been pouring boiling water over the grounds and waiting for them to settle
I have about $30 in my bank account and half of it is already reserved for alcohol

got myself a ceramic v60 and made pourover for the first time, its bretty gud. im sure theres some acoustic technique to it that i'll get better at over time but im quite happy with my first attempt

>cowboy/swedish/'church Coffee

Pmuch already doing it. V60 pourover + a metal mesh filter to set inside it. An electric ceramic grinder is the real Quality of Life tool to make the coffee its best however you do it. The Jap ceramic base/ceramic filter 2-in-1 V60 are also nice as buy once cry once solutions if your budget can swing it. Just avoid the paper filterjew.

Been trying different beans from different roasters and the only thing in common every time is that I love Gesha.

I'm gonna grab a couple Gesha this time and also try some Wush Wush.

>>21547059
>we can't just grind coarse and then steam the beans with water vapor

no i had a bad day and had a "rage nap" that i've just woken up from
feel alot better now

so... how do i get better at latte art?

>>21548433
would you like me to google that for you or can you do that yourself?

>>21548437
i want to hear /ctg/'s advice and maybe even see your work if possible

>>21548448
our advice is the same advice you will get elsewhere because we didnt just invent a how to make good latte art on our own we had to learn the techniques from others
so why go to the student when you can go to the teacher?

Handgrinding versus power grinding. What do we think? Why do expensive handgrinders exist?

>>21548563
just use your hand grinder with a drill and you've got yourself a nice electric grinder

>>21548563
Power grinder has a motor and a bunch of other parts that will die in a few years and it is extremely unlikely that 90% of these companies will exist by then to sell replacement parts. A hand grinder will last decades.

>>21548563
i like handgrinding since its meditative

>>21548460

i buy the $2 black coffee in a can from the asian grocery
imagine spending hundreds of dollars on a bean water machine lmao
the Chinese leaf water nerds aren't any less cringe, i'll give you that

>>21548641
Never said it was, that’s an Italian medium-dark blend with robusta. The same I extracted last time with the moka, I wanted to try in pour over to remove the bitterness and the harshness, it was a success.

I bought supermarket coffee because I’m testing post surgery, didn’t want to risk splurging on good coffee just to leave it open for days/weeks. Luckily I’ve no problems and now I’ve got to drink it.

Will try espresso now.

>>21548658

A Hario Switch.

Why would you buy even consider buying a Chinese knock off?

>>21548616
>>21548658
dw saw it on your reddit
dont they sell smaller filters that fit better?

>>21548481
sir please help sir

>>21548981
Yes they do, you can also cut the 02 filters like I do.
I used a regular 02 filter because I was doing immersion brew, therefore it doesn't matter if there's agitation.
You can also use the back of a spoon to make a controlled pour or even pic related in your kitchen so you can pour high without agitating.

>>21548613
Does the goose-neck kettle make a difference? I just measure the temperature and then pour in hot water from my pot.

>>21549046
Kettle isn't important only when you're making immersion brews with the switch, at that point you may want to pour all the water as fast as you can without being precise.

>>21548727
uhhh because it's like a 1/3 of the hario ones?

just ate leftover pizza
but NOT with a coffee
was this a mistake?

>>21549894
it was.
left over pizza is great with a fresh brew.

>>21549904

does it count if i go make a coffee right now?

>>21549914
the boat has sailed

>>21549941
ok im having falafel burgers and coffee
does that make up for it?

i just used the "sandwich" paper filter method and i can swear my espresso tastes different
but then again my machine is a 10 years old dedica so i sneeze and the espresso tastes different lol

Luv my Tarachine. It is all.
