This is probably going to be one of those questions with a really obvious answer but I’m drawing a blank right now. I could do with a carafe to make 2-cup v60 brews in, but everything I’ve found is glass. I want to be able to keep it in my van and I think glass will break pretty easy when I’m driving around. My immediate thought was a plastic measuring jug, but most of them don’t seem to deal well with hot liquid. Any ideas?

Red_Fred posted:I’m drinking decaf during the week. There is a good local roaster who does a rotating single origin decaf which is nice. the flavour notes are lost due to process, yes. The dark roasts tend to come about from two issues: one, the coffee is blander so roasters tend to go dark so that it tastes like something. two, decaf roasts are not as obvious when roasting as the colour and sound of the roast will generally be completely different from normal coffees. Easy to overdo imo. Pantsmaster Bill posted:This is probably going to be one of those questions with a really obvious answer but I’m drawing a blank right now. Could just do them straight into a large travel mug or failing that, a thermal carafe.

Pour over is no fun without a gooseneck, right? I tried emulating pour over once by pouring water through a funnel into a normal drip coffee filter and the result was satisfyingly terrible

Aw man, that Hario carafe is super cute... but it's 69 CAD... e: while searching for that I found out that there's a replacement hopper for Baratza grinders that has a bean shut-off, what a world Canuck-Errant fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Jul 17, 2020 |

Munkaboo posted:Thirded. No need for it but I wants it. I've just purchased a v60 v2 because I brew far too much via the chemex or not just enough so I've got the v60 for that off person, but now i want that carafe after searching. Also on goosenecks, after buying the stagg EKG I found the flow rate very strange for the first lot of brews as I tilted more but their was no increase in flow which is very stranger compared to a normal kettle.

I think a "normal" kettle can work for pourovers fine if you can do a steady pour from it. But a gooseneck is *easier*.

I’ve not found it difficult to just use my regular kettle for the V60. Maybe if you have issues with pouring from your kettle, but it’s just water and unless you’re some sort of epic klutz, you should be able to manage a normal kettle with success.

The expensive part is the gooseneck kettle, which you don't need. It makes everything a lot easier and more consistent, but you definitely don't need it. In fact, the best tasting V60 I ever made was achieved with an ordinary kettle. Gunder fucked around with this message at 10:37 on Jul 18, 2020 |

If you already have a burr grinder and scale then you might as well get a gooseneck. You'll use it a lot.

There are more affordable stovetop versions out there for those of you who wouldn't mind that route. on the subject of gooseneck vs regular there's a lot of different kettles out there, and some of the "traditional" styles especially I've found can be kind of awful. my MIL has a little electric one we use every christmas and i haven't managed to pour water from it without spilling some yet. i'd just buy them a nice one but they appreciate the size and simplicity of this one.

I often see it made explicit to start with cold water for brewing coffee, even in automatic drip machines, is there a reasoning for this that I'm missing? Since it gets heated up anyway I always assumed this was just to make sure people weren't using softened water or unduly looping in the hot water heater pipes.

A water reservoir in a machine may also not be designed to hold brew temperature water. Dumping a kettle of boiling water into it may melt stuff

Since it gets heated up anyway I always assumed this was just to make sure people weren't using softened water or unduly looping in the hot water heater pipes. This is it. Always start with cold water that will be heated, whether it's for coffee, pasta, tea, whatever simply because looping in your hot water heater exposes it to additional piping and, assuming you have a water heater with a tank (like most people do), you would also potentially be adding sediment from the bottom of the tank.

OK that totally makes sense. I've just always read it like I was being instructed to refrigerate our water pitcher, versus the room temp water that came from the [cold] tap.

Deathlove posted:I've been wondering if tumblers like this, by keeping the heat inside, are "cooking" the coffee more? Or is that just overthinking? Nah, you're already at a fine temperature by the time the coffee goes into the tumbler. Hot plates do it because they are hotter than the final brew temp of the coffee, a tumbler won't hurt anything.

I don’t gently caress with regular cold brew at all. Flash cooled/Japanese style all day every day. The Clever Dripper works great for it because you can control your steep time and agitation which helps since you’re exposing the grounds to less water volume.

You want a Bialetti I don't know why I get so triggered by coffee gifts but I just hope they get used but usually they get stored away forever. I want to get my parents a Moccamaster and Encore grinder for their 40th anniversary but they are content with their Mr coffee and Folgers bucket. They also enjoy good coffee and always ask for a brew at my house but for them Folgers is the best at their own home

Mu Zeta posted:Biletti pots look great but cleaning them looks like a huge pain with all the parts and gaskets. I disagree. Mokapots are easy as piss to use & clean. When you are finished making/drinking coffee, unscrew it and tap the grounds into the trash. Rinse all the parts and hang them out to dry. Done. If this takes you more than 60 seconds you are doing it wrong. If you are feeling saucy you can pop off the single gasket and rinse the screen too. I do this every day but you really do not have to. Every once in a while you might want to wipe the top piece out and then maybe a few times in your life soak all the pieces in some coffee cleaning poo poo.

That does sound easy. But every moka pot I've seen looked filthy so I just assume nobody cleans them.
