anyone use pods? thinking of getting one for home any reccos?
the inlaws got me a nespresso thing a while back. the capsules that you can get for it are garbage. but they also got me a bunch of refillable capsules that you put your own, good coffee beans in. with those it makes decent coffee that's quite like an espresso

so i'm reasonably happy with it but i wouldn't get one for myself, just buy a moka pot for a tenth of the price, a fifth of the counter space, and get drat fine coffee at home. if you want an actual espresso go to a shop

just aeropressed

fyi the big problem with blade grinders is the inconsistency. burr grinders will crush to a much more standard particle size, and best of all you can dial it in (different types, processes, and ages of coffee seeds /will/ taste differently with different grinds, it's cool). blade grinders get the job done, but once you go burr, you'll never go whirrr

if you're a real true seedhead you can get to an even more standardized particle size by using a set of fine mesh filters to get really precise

some people will even layer different particle sizes from different coffees for a really artisanal brew (e.g. 10g of some 600-micron ethiopian seed particles and 5g of, say, some south american at 400microns). people have won barista competitions with this kinda stuff. me, all coffees are beautiful but i'll die happy if i get ethiopian seeds forever (lol coffee will be extinct well before i die, and that's if i'm quote-unquote lucky)

nooooo
like per ounce of water for the initial brew you use WAY more yes

but

oh my god yall arent drinking cold brew straight right

like you are supposed to dilute it 4:1 after you brew it

you will DIE just pouring cups of straight up cold brew on ice with a splash of milk

i thought a 10/1 ratio of grinds to water was enoguh that you dont need to dilute it but i also dont drin kthat much? but i fotget what the og recipe is

Why not just shake the blade grinder a couple of times (like a cocktail shaker) until you stop hearing beans getting chopped?

that does get better results, but at the end of the day everything just ends up randomly-sized

plus there are differences between slicing vs. crushing in terms of what the end result looks like (surface area for water etc)

tl;dr just use a burr grinder. blade grinders were made to be cheap, not effective.

i think african strains are sometimes grown on this side of the atlantic because pests over here don't target them like the do in the region they're from

loud as gently caress but it seems to work well enough.

i have one of these and the little plastic thing you rotate around to clear the grounds has plastic chipped off of it and presumable going into my coffee. i demoted it to spice grinder and got a burr one finally and it does do a better job keeping sludge out of my french press
