Thread 216618375

I have a really expensive coffee maker (gift from my parents) but it requires a lot of maintenance and I am kind of lazy so I switched to super cheap instant coffee from a discounter

It tastes terrible but I spice it up a little by adding chocolate milk :D

Countries with a real coffee culture will look down on me but I am content and happy

If you're happy I'm happy too

>>216618375 (OP)
can you tell us more about the coffee maker? maybe the model or something im curious

I used a fancy espresso maker too with foam but after a few weeks I switch back to instant coffee if you drink coffee occasionally it's worth it since you can afford the time and effort but if you drink loads like me it's not worth the hassle

>>216618392
Tell me about your coffee traditions, little leafbro

excellent thread, germbro
thank you for spreading the comfy

>>216618542
holy fuck OP
did it at least make good coffee

personally i just take caffeine pills its like 5 eur for a bottle of 200 200mg pills
sometimes i take the fancy supermarket insta coffee from guatemala o algo just to feel something

>>216618542
I broke my french press a long time ago, since then I've been doing pour overs directly into my cup

This thing is perfect.

>give me the gucci coffee maker
It requires so much maintenance, also to get the best out of it you need to buy really expensive coffee beans and I feel it's just not worth it
>>216618563
I can't tell if this is sarcasm but I wish you a lovely Sunday :D
>>216618607
Try adding chocy milk to it!
>>216618619
This is the way

>>216618664
>I can't tell if this is sarcasm
it's not sarcasm

>>216618809
ur a good man and i love you

I just use a Mokka, and clean It while washing dishes

>>216618664
I'm starting to think coffee machines are a scam, what do they even do? We already have gravity for free

>>216618375 (OP)
All you need is a grinder, anon. I buy beans from the market (1-1.5kg/month). Store it in my vacuum bag. Grind it when I want to drink it. Put it inside a mug, pour hot water, or cold water + let it sit in the refrigerator for 12h (for cold brewing). Done. Minimal maintenance, better than instant coffee.

>>216618375 (OP)
I buy the cheap instant coffee and I think it tastes fine. I enjoy all kinds of coffee.

>>216618653
I like that when you buy a cheaper one, that only thing that is fucked is the flow rate being too high.

>>216618375 (OP)
I buy expensive coffee, grind it with a cheap hand grinder and brew it in a cheap french press. It makes excellent coffee and the the cleaning effort is low.

>>216619693
Nice, gotta try that

>>216619990
>I buy expensive coffee
Brand?

i have espresso machine, single-shot grinder, v60, drip machine, mokka, but i just drink drip bags all the time

Bro how can people even think owning a thing like that for private household
I had a similar machine at a company I worked for, and I think it's only worth it as a machine for an office at work or for multiple people in general, also because you can simply split up the cost of beans with your colleagues, buying these big bags of beans is not beneficial because when beens get old the coffee doesn't taste as good

For private single household pic related is perfect, or the porta filter machines (siebträger in German) for espresso

>Bro how can people even think owning a thing like that for private household
It was a gift

>>216621415
>it requires manual labor therefore it’s more authentic

Ugh

I am not giving money to China.

>>216621569
Can also take one from a different company, just look for moka pot
They can't really break down and are not expensive (20 to 60€)

you need more?

>>216622900
Never tried it, what's the taste like?

>>216622057
Sorry, you have already been exposed as a CCP shill. You are not welcome in this thead.

>>216622900

Its ok, good thing to have when traveling

>>216623276
>good thing to have when traveling
Oh, you mean when you're traveling back to China to report to the CCP headquarters?

>>216623271
It's over ...

>>216623301
I don't only have one single fact to back that up, I have TWO single facts to back that up.

for me, it's the cheap lidl coffee

>>216618375 (OP)
Just buy a 200$ espresso machine and clean it up for 5 minutes once a year thats all it takes.

Look, it's the same company I think
https://kaffeepur.de/produkt-kategorie/kaffees/

>>216624775
interesting. 100% positive its the Swiss guys exporting their roasts to Germany, they even rebranded Meyers Espresso Blend (legendary local Bar) to Il Miracolo because nobody will know Meyers in Berlin.

>>216618375 (OP)
for me it's only about the caffeine high, sometimes I take instant coffee powder and don't even boil the water first, I just use hot water from the faucet

>>216618375 (OP)
can you poast the model of your coffee maker? is it an espresso machine?

>>216618375 (OP)
>I have a really expensive coffee maker (gift from my parents) but it requires a lot of maintenance and I am kind of lazy so I switched
relatable, pretty much same situation here but I switched to picrel and it's the best of both worlds
>affordable
>can make good coffee
>cleaning it takes like 2 minutes or less
>requires very little space and no electricity
highly recommended

>but it requires a lot of maintenance and I am kind of lazy so I switched to super cheap instant coffee from a discounter
this is an actual thing. its very common irl lol.

>>216618375 (OP)
For me, I just pour the water myself. I put my ground coffee in a funnel with filter and slowly pour. It's relaxing and much easier to clean. It takes maybe 2 minutes to hand wash and it tastes good.

I like making pour over. I have a scale but I barely ever use it, I just do everything by muscle memory at this point. I might weigh out the coffee once every 6 months or so just to give myself a visual reminder of how much the correct weight looks like, then I just go back to eyeballing it. It’s good enough for me.

>>216624993
What's your fav kaffeepur roast

You mean cleaning it every once in a while? That's "a lot of maintenance" to you?

i live with my mom and we have 2 broken coffemakers i dont know how to fix so we drink french press coffe

>>216620675
I thought coffee was considered a woman’s drink in POCCNR

>>216625964
my goto is la manuela and i spice it up with a bit togo pogo. but then they roast fresh twice a week and often something is sold out. I prefer the south American arabicas over the african ones, not sure why but the africans are more of a mocca taste and i make french press coffee with cream and sugar.

>>216626044
it likes getting its face plugged by big black cords

>>216626404
can't believe you went there
can't believe i have a boner now

>>216625635
nice minimalist setup. I just wish there was a better setup for a handmill, grinding 30g in those little pepper grinders is a pita.

i use this to make a good coffee, i really don't understand these fancy machines

>>216626598
Hello, the water that's being poured into the filter seems to be brown

>>216626746
well, that thing is probably made in china, it's possible they're using water with dye to take the photos.
