Do you like coffee?

[biohacker]

I fucking LOVE coffee, too much... like weed... and presently on day 2 of my T-break from it

I do the pour over method, used to do french press, but now I wanna read through this thread because i'm thinking it's time for the Aeropress!

What do you think? Is it worth it? I like STRONG coffee, like espresso..

Yes, def worth giving an aeropress a go I think. They are too cheap not to. However, they're arent hugely different from using a V60/pour over IMHO. Tho I prefer the aeropress personally but a lot of that might be down to the process/method.

For me, its less paper, less hassle, and that POP that happens when you eject the puck and the filter

Metal reusable filters are available for the aeropress and give a slightly different coffee experience.

I'd say aeropress, plus paper filters, plus trying a metal filter, is well worth a go.

EDIT: I tried multiple different metal filters btw, lots of different styles available. Basically, dont write off a metal filter just because you try a shit one. Its worth trying a few of the different ones. Sadly, I forget which one I ended up liking I;ve only gone back to an Aeropress in the last month or so after using a V60 for a year or two, dont know what happened to the metal filter I had but I'm back on paper.

Café Femenino is a co-operative set up in 2004 by female coffee producers across Peru. Originating in Cecanor, many of them abused and mistreated, their...

I need to stay away from this thread on my breaks! Fortunately i'll be back in the game soon as I no longer have sweating issues and bad body odour lol I think coffee seeps DEEP into the pores of the body, or at least mine!

I brought home some AA+ from both Kenia (berries, fruity acidic, tea like) and Tanzania (not tested yet, said to be fruity-spicy) and of course my beloved Monsooned Malabar. Coffee is good.

I don't drink coffee, but my wife does.

I just spent 25 minutes waiting in a drive through line for her to get coffee today... it begs the question, how many minutes/hours do you spend waiting in line for coffee each week? This shit is ridiculous!

What kind of drive thru does remotely decent coffee? I suspect your wife likes coffee flavour drink and caffeine, thats not coffee!

Considering I literally never leave the house, unless my cats in the way, no queuing for me

A week, zero, a year, zero, a decade, zero.
I love coffee. <nods>

Does pour over require "technique"? Like I can fill it up all the way, or halfway before second pour? Slower is better?

I drink Maxwell House Colombian. I call it coffee; I love it, whatever it is.
For me, most any coffee coming from a window or line is not pleasant anyway, so I pass unless on a road trip or after a nice meal somewhere.

I still haven't really found a combination I like more than a cup of Maxwell House Colombian, brewed at home with filtered water, through a Mr. Coffee drip machine. I do take a small amt of sugar and almond milk in it.
The other part of the combination is some tasty cannabis on the side.
Coffee and hopper got me going at 5:30 this morning. Not that I have anywhere to go...

 

[EmDeemo]

Does pour over require "technique"?

Yes, but only in terms of what you like, I think... Depends what pour over/drip thing ya using and how much of a snob/enthusiast you wanna be

Willie Nelson says he's grateful that one thing cannabis can do is make you forget things, and that's not always bad.
Vaping along with my Maxwell House may keep me from thinking snobby thoughts about my coffee?

rock on, you weirdos!

Pack an extra fat one because it was just a joke! Some people LOVECombustion too!

And put some ice on that head!

"real" coffee is a deep dark potentially expensive rabbit hole, like vapes! You're better off sticking with ya coffee flavour drink and lack of short term memory tbh

not sure which one of us may be missing a joke (or 3), but I do know I don't want to debate combustion v vaping here, or really anywhere for that matter. peace.

What were we even talking about...?

Ha! No idea

I tell ya, I woulda killed for one of your sweet, almond milk maxwell house's yesterday.... Ran out of coffee! Got beans thru the post today tho

First up is my personal favourite, Ethiopean Yrgacheffe!

 

[macbill]

If you decide on an AeroPress (good choice), I recommend an accessory that greatly simplifies its usage: this cap allows you to place the AeroPress on your cup as you make your brew. Coffee won't escape until you plunge. Comes w/screen, but you can use with paper if you want.

 

[EmDeemo]

HAIL SATAN!

Altho, whoever is having the blue drink is doing it wrong

EDIT: Bean waste! I coulda used those yesterday!

 

[vapviking]

Yrgacheffe!

Gesundheit!

That's because you hit your head too hard, hopefully not more than once! My point was, by you coming here and stating how you have never had a better coffee experience than shitty microwaved instant coffee sounds like trolling to me. Like coming to a vaporizing forum and saying that you've never had a better vape experience than a joint. Peace!
