i thought you needed high-pressure steam-engine stuff to make espresso? :confused:

yeah they don't make real espresso because the pressure that builds up is much lower. it's a different coffee but imo also perfectly enjoyable

that's the part you have to avoid friend

like in my photo, take a bowl and fill it with cold water immediately after screwing the top on the base full of boiling water with coffee dropped in and placing on heat, leave open, when deep color coffee starts spurting any lift above heat until its back to a smooth flow, then once the liquid becomes a clearer color IMMEDIATELY dunk the base into the cold water, since it's about to spurt and that has all the nastiness from the beans in it since it's A) overheated water and B) overextracted beans

you really want to micromanage the brew process and it only takes 30-45 seconds if you are doing it right (i.e. starting with 209°F water in the pre-warmed base and quickly moving onto heat)

you dont wanna burn the beans - if you do either of the things above wrong you burn the beans and get lovely overextracted or burnt coffee.


not sure why the water needs to be already hot but i've filled a kettle to try your method right now sniep

i feel like this would take me to a new coffee threshold i could never come back from and i'm nervous and scared rn

you are right to be afraid, i used to be happy to drink poo poo tier instant coffee until a girlfriend convinced me that the real stuff was better and got me a grinder and made me use beans and stuff

now i drink better coffee but it means that i can't enjoy it any more when someone serves me crap. i'm not sure that developing taste is even worth it
