I can't believe you make coffee like that. You might as well be drinking Helmut Marko's diaper squeezings.

Bricks of Cafe La Llave and a Bialetti moka pot are the way to go here. I expect the thread will make Cuban coffee and have a Whopper in celebration of the Miami GP.

Residency Evil posted:Are you guys really weighing out your beans/coffee every morning? It just seems like such a 'spergie thing to do. I just want to have coffee for the drive to work. ya but I have a food scale already for when I was trying to be not fat, it's honestly like no real extra time. I do 6g/100ml so usually a 24g / 400ml cup most morning, using the V60 makes it pretty easy to just pour into the cup (or carafe) on my scale, and the Fellow Stagg kettle I have has a built in timer for it. I have been doing it since moving to Seattle and it honestly is just part of the motion now.

I have an automatic grinder with a hopper and it kicks rear end. I set it to how many cups and it gets close enough.

I was lucky enough to buy an espresso machine off Craigslist a couple of months before COVID, a Lelit Anna. I pair it with a Eureka Mignon Specialita grinder and usually go for local-ish beans from Ceremony Coffee, although I also order from Onyx every once in a while. Nothing wrong with the occasional moka pot with Cafe la Llave, either I have to go to my office 1x/week and Keurig coffee is just so, so bad

Jumping on the Baratza Encore bandwagon. It's a great grinder for 90% of your normal grinding needs. I've put little marks on mine for drip, french press or aeropress so it always makes a good consistent cup. I used to just buy the beans from costco because I'm a cheap gently caress and wanted quantity over quality, but tested out a bag of the house blend at the local roaster and the coffee got so much better that I'm just buying from there from now on. Looking to maybe get a hand flat burr grinder to take on trips but I don't know if I want to start going that deep down the rabbit hole yet. italian quid posted:Its absolutely baffling how loving small the aeropress is, I'll make like half a cup and the thing is ready to loving overflow. That's because the Aeropress' initial intention was to be a portable espresso maker. It was never intended to make a full cup of coffee, but at most 4 cups of espresso.

italian quid posted:I've got some knock hand grinder but I keep thinking about getting a Niche Zero, there's something very zen about hand grinding though so I'm on the fence. I'll do a V60 most mornings but I'll do the odd aeropress. espresso feels like too much of a chore to tune in for me, I like keeping things simple with the V60. Sup Knock hand grinder buddy, I use mine every morning to feed a La Pavoni lever espresso machine. I used to have an electric grinder and a Gaggia machine but I much prefer not having the jarring grinder and pump noises first thing in the morning, and the combo still makes great coffee (as long as you're not looking to pull really long shots).

I only drink espresso, so I have a Breville Bambino Plus in the office and a Breville Oracle Touch at home. Rancilio Rocky for a grinder, but I kinda want a Baratza Encore.

No, it's one of those "Every hipster will tell you a method by which is the only way to make good coffee" and all the versions are slightly different and all of them result in exactly the same result things.

The whole point of aeropress is very specifically that you can use any number of infinite methods to brew with it and you're supposed to swap ideas. so you're completely wrong.

We have a nice Sage bean to cup machine at the office (that I haven't been to for two years) and I was getting quite good at putting art on the lattes. If I had 2 grand to spend on a coffee machine I'd pick that one.

Sage (called Breville in some parts of the world) makes excellent machines, they just happen to be fairly inexpensive and less exclusive than something with a name like Gaggia

The Encore is right in the range of "just good enough" for espresso. It can really suffer for not being able to do fine adjustments like the next step up Virtuoso can a times but for most machines and people the Encore will work fine.

Then just poke a hole in the bag to filter into your cup, throw the bag out, and go to Starbucks like somebody who actually has a life.
