if you view a vacpot as maximum science instead of maximum goofiness (since the actual maximum goofiness is a balance siphon) then the best way to make cold brew is under pressure in a whipping siphon. it only takes a few hours instead of overnight i actually use a whipping siphon to pressure-infuse rum with coffee about once a month (the Cafe Touba recipe from Liquid Intelligence)

Lpzie posted:buying a 5 lb bag of espresso i literally do this every over month. the coffee shop i get it from in chicago that picks and roasts their own beans started shipping their 5lb bags to anyone during COVID and its about a 40% discount. i vacseal it into a bunch of 12oz portions and it stays more than fresh enough by the time i open the last bag (yes they ship out beans that have been rested for two weeks already so i don't have to worry about outgassing)

the best liqueur to add to a latte or cappuccino is Tuaca. this is just an objective fact. you don’t need Bailey’s (there’s already dairy) you don’t need kahlua (there’s already coffee). brandy is the base liquor which complements coffee and Tuaca is brand-based. citrus and vanilla are both excellent flavors if you want to sweeten and boozen your coffee

it’s confusing because Americano also refers to an excellent alcoholic drink (Campari soda with vermouth)

my bony fealty posted:you can put espresso in martinis now. strange times. just freestyle it. use vanilla vodka as a base, then add any number of liqueurs that complement coffee on their own. maybe add cream if no cream liqueur. add a small quantity perhaps of something that sticks out like benedictine or even allspice dram or balsam liqueur or actually do a good one with dark rum. extra points for milk ice cubes

my three year old asked for JUST A DROP of my espresso and I called her bluff and poured her like 3mL into her own demitasse cup and she actually drank it and claimed to like it. I’m not proud or ashamed I’m mostly mad at myself for screwing up because now she constantly asks for a sip of my coffee and won’t accept that it’s not for kids

Karach posted:Coffee, black. Ground, not chopped I'm sure there will always be people who want traditional things but you'd think in the Star Trek future instead of just replicating drip coffee we could like, have the replicator pick out the individual flavor compounds you want (and the specific amount of caffeine) and create an admixture of that and water de novo instead of actually using hot water to extract things imprecisely!

Food engineers today are making, uh, like, the craziest things you've ever seen. If I wanna eat a strawberry, they can put a piece of gum in my mouth, stick something in my nose and I can just chew on it and it tastes like I'm eating a strawberry from, like, a specific time and era because they know all the microbes and they know that the certain chemicals taste like mint and a little bit of, uh, you know, like a dozen different smells. So, you'd think after all this time things would've changed, and everything has changed. With all this crazy technology, I could cook anything. The customers only want to eat beet salads and pork buns.

Karach posted:I would make the replicator produce that $20k Manument espresso maker and insist on taking 20 minutes to make an espresso myself. The replicator doesn't just produce food - it can also produce the feeling of nostalgia for 21st century bourgeois consumer experiences in an actual post-scarcity utopia drudgery would be eliminated, but a lot of what we consider modern conveniences would be silly. why wouldnt i take my time doing things i enjoy in the most baroque and inefficient way?

the worst coffee ive ever had was in the evening at a coworkers place, but it had been sitting the in the coffee pot lukewarm all day, and he poured some of it into a mug and microwaved it for me. he went by the name Hot Dogs and he was learning Lithuanian to connect with his roots so he would say things like "Labas, homie, what's up?" we got stoned and watched his fish. it was bad coffee
