best technology for caffeine consoomers?

>>105552494 (OP)
coffee is a solved problem

Chemistry is technology. Hydrogen cyanide.

Ode 2 and mokamaster

>>105552494 (OP)
instant coffee is acceptable.

>>105552494 (OP)
Used Bunn VP17 (take it apart and clean it) (≈$200)
Baratza grinder (≈$150)
Fresh ass beans from your local hipster roastery ($15–30)
Some experimentation getting the grind right
>budget
Swap the Bunn for a Hario pourover (≈$20)

& good taste, so you know when you have it right

You now make coffee that matches or exceeds nearly all cafes, forever.

There's good good coffee, good bad coffee, bad good coffee, and bad bad coffee.
Sometimes good bad coffee is what you need.

>>105553002
for me I like the taste of a strong french press brewed for 5 seconds, just long enough for me to stir that shit, then down the plunger goes. anymore and its too sour.

>>105553030
shit you're right I forgot
I'm a lightweight and don't like steeped coffee but french presses are great for those who do

>>105553102
neither do I. you can cut it down way much by just plunging the thing down near immediately, try it sometime.

>>105553030
If it's sour it's under extracted and you need to steep it for longer. Coffee transitions from tasteless to sour to bitter as it extracts into the water

>>105553130
how long do I wait? 1-2 minutes was too sour to me. till it's cold?

>>105553230
Can't give you any exact info, I'm not a french press guy, I just know general coffee autism.
Might be worth checking out this video on it

coffee is such a reddit normie hobby that you can build up a whole coffee setup with just random trips to your local bin store, lots of that shit ends up as amazon returns, I have lots of hario V60s and 100 packs of filters I bought for only $2 each.

I throw the whole filter into the garden and it becomes fertilizer, probably.
i just need to buy more whole bean coffee, that shit hasn't gone on sale at costco in forever, last year I bought like 12lbs of whole bean and I'm only finishing it now.

>>105552494 (OP)
just a french press is enough. gonna go fill my mug

Fuck off cunts you're gonna make the monster warm (bleh)!

Best technology regardless of cost?
Or cheapest thing to get your fix?

Pic is what I use and it's fine.

>>105553951
>buying a 2nd hand V60 you have no idea what the previous owner did with for $2 instead of a new one for $6.

>>105552494 (OP)
>$3.88
>90 servings of 200mg

>>105553230
If it's too sour you wait longer, grind finer, use more water, use hotter water or use a darker roast (pick any combination that's convenient for you)
If it's too bitter you do the opposite.
Simple.

k6 and a drill is the most cost efficient grinder you're gonna get

>>105552494 (OP)
Milk, cinnamon and honey. Perfect for beautiful morning sir.

I feel like french press is optimal, decent coffee for very little effort.

I use a cheap $100 espresso machine my wife bought me as a birthday gift, serves me perfectly fine. Not sure why I drink it though, I seem to be extremely caffeine resistant, and can drink it for months on end even and quit cold turkey with zero issues.

Its just like a ritual break from work for me at this point, and plus I'm one of those fucking retards that likes the taste of black espresso. I'll have a double shot at 630, after my daily standup and another double shot around noon ish.

Let me guess, you need more?

>>105554826
yes i need more

>>105554826
Yes, like an actual coffee grinder, not a "coffee grinder" that's actually a blender

Not judging anyone, each their own and that. But what makes (You) enjoy caffeine and coffee so damn much? Personally I'm the "wake up, shower, get clothed and leave the house" type, so I don't touch coffee. I can enjoy myself a choccy cappuccino once in a while for cake or whatever, but generally I'm tap water only. Biggest issue is that I can't deal with proper coffee, just too much for my taste, plus I don't much see the need for it.

>>105555746
>leave the house
there's your problem

>>105552494 (OP)
a sturdy metal french press and a hand grinder is all you need

>>105555938
>mmmmmm oil

>>105555942
>mmmmmm flavor

>>105555957
yes you are quoting me, an aerochad

>>105555746
because it gives you a zing feeling and dopamine? obviously. thats why anyone does anything. its why you shower.
if you dont like the taste of coffee try tea. orange pekoe with milk and sugar.

>>105555746
Decent coffee taste good (imho) compared to cheap swill that comes in a paper cup. Not even decent to the borderline insanity that is coffee snob tier shit (which almost comes close to audiophiles in terms of most deranged hobbyists), literally just some home ground pour over coffee/french press shit with one of those blade grinders is a massive step up over stale ass pre-ground "incest in your cup" shit.

>>105555971
Never been much of a tea guy either. Not gonna say no if someone offered me one, but I usually wouldn't drink it in my spare time.
>>105556034
>"incest in your cup" shit.
But I like incest... Suppose that's one of my main problems then, I've only ever had cheap off the shelve shit.

>>105556055
wait a minute

>>105556055
>But I like incest...
What kind of incest though?

>>105556073
The good kind.

>>105556089
Mother and son then

>>105554842
Does a burr grinder really make a significant enough difference over a blade grinder to justify buying a $150+ grinder over a sub-$20 grinder just to make a morning cup?

>>105556117
And bro+sis, but yes, especially mom+son

We should have more coffee threads on g. All the other actual tech threads suck ass anyway.

>>105553995

>>105556131
>sub-$20 grinder
might as well buy pre-ground at that point

>>105556131
>>105556131
>$150+ grinder

sex with horses

My brother makes drip coffee sometimes with store ground coffee. That shit is even worse than the k-cups. I know it’s not fresh but neither are the K’s. Is this what coffee is supposed to taste like?

>>105552884
How do I make my woman wear the bunnysuit I bought her more than once a year?

>>105556547

>>105556547
larp as a wolf or something you gotta get into the mindset of it being a chase/run predator/prey rapey thing. thats how she will find it hot too. growl and be primal, etc. gl.

>>105552494 (OP)
I'd display holographic UI on her glasses if you know what I'm sayin'

>>105556206
Explain to me how fresh but slightly inconsistent grind size is even remotely comparable to stale ground coffee that's been sitting in a warehouse for months without sounding severely autistic

>>105556260
The topic the board is dedicated to has been talked to death and there's really nothing new to say so it just devolves into 90% shitpost and arguing over the most irrelevant minutia that no one cares about.
When a cross board topic comes up that is rarely ever talked about on the board there's actually something new to talk about.

>>105556345
i mean its what it can taste like
if youd just read the thread youd realize it can get a lot better

>>105552539
Aeropress chads keep winning.

>>105556813
explain to me how stale beans that have been sitting in a warehouse for months are better than stale powder

>>105556131
yes. honestly it's probably the best dollars to added value coffee product there is besides a french press.

>>105556131
Ye, but also you can get them much cheaper than that if you're willing to hand grind. The kingrinder p1 is like around $30 I think, although it can be hard to find.

>>105555746
I enjoy nice coffee

But my entire team is, half my job is spent wrangling the tards. All I'm gonna say is theres no such thing as an Indian "Engineer".

Hold my cup

>>105559906

>>105553230
I've usually waited about 5 minutes and that's worked for me.

>>105559915
my condolences

>>105556131
Blades grind a broader size distribution than burrs, so lots grounds are then under- or overbrewed. If you don't want to buy a burr grinder, >>105556813 you can buy fresh ground coffee directly from roasters.

>>105555746
Good coffee is delicious. I do not care for caffeine and prefer decaf.

coffee should steep for 10 or 20 minutes until it tastes sweet

I enjoy my chemical dependencies on caffeine and nicotine

>>105554060
I used to take caffeine pills it was miserable

I drink my coffee with cream and honey, which as I understand it is basically a sin to coffee snobs

>>105562304
There's a Hadith that specifies that it's OK to complement to but not to stifle the flavor of the coffee. It's fuzzy at the margins but in practice the difference is usually obvious.

>>105562304
Cream is fine (milk is better), honey is just kinda weird. Still better than adding sugar.

>>105561643
Thanks for using my dumb meme anon :D

>>105552494 (OP)
Literally a French press + electric kettle. Whatever you do, never be so retarded as to drink anything that was the result of running boiling hot water thru as much plastic as possible.

>>105562458
hello nigga

>>105561643
why?

>>105552494 (OP)
drink water instead

>>105562424
Milk is too watery, cream gives the coffee a nice thickness.
Besides, milk is best enjoyed on it's own or as homemade kefir, grass fed whole milk only of course.

>>105562458
The water is well below boiling by the time it runs through the grounds, as evident by the fact that it has condensed back into a liquid in the first place. Also 2010 was 15 years ago bro it's time to move on, you can't stomp clap hey forever.

>>105552539
Just put coffee in a cup and pour water on top.
I fucking hate hipster trannies

>>105563280
unfiltered coff gives me a tummy ache :c

I use one of these ESE pod machines nine times out of ten because it's the quickest way to make decent coffee in the morning.

>>105563635
there's $20k espresso machines now meant for the home, it's gotten crazy
