What Coffees Are You Drinking?

SurfnSafari · Apr 9, 2018

Recently dumped my Keurig Machine, and got a hand me down Drip Coffee Maker. First I had about a pound and a half of Kona Coffee from Hawaii that was gifted me. It went fast, now I have switched to Trader Joe's - House or Joe Dark Blend that is not bad.

But the best cup of Coffee I have experienced recently is something my buddy gift shop prepares. It is like Cold Brew, but it called Nitrogen Brewed, and it make wonderful full body Ice Coffee that has a creaminess apprently from the Nitrogen used to make it, YUM YUM.

I did a 700 ml poor for that one but it was still to long imo. It was 3.5 on the handground. I did a 3.0 grind with 300ml(+50ml bloom) that only took 4:45. The coffee was about another half inch up the side of the cone filter but I wouldn't have thought it would have compounded the brew so long with the coarser grind.

Wait, you say the brew time went up even though you changed the grind? What kind of grinder are you using? Sounds like maybe your filter may be getting clogged by ground coffee "fines" as they call them. Basically, just dust—superfine powder that turns into mud that will block a filter. Conical burr grinders tend to produce a lot more fines using a coarser grind setting for some reason. I've read that a flat burr grinder should produce less fines, particularly if the burrs are steel (not ceramic).

Yes sounds like this is the case. It's a handground(thats the brand name) grinder. Pretty darn good quality imo not going to dump hundreds into a grinder before a get more experience.

Wild Gift Los Naranjos. Tasty...

Last couple bags I tried were from new (to me) local roasters. One was too dark, the other was flavorless. Time to get right with some old reliable—Intelligentsia house blend. Nothing special, but good n cheap. Chicago coffee is still a different culture from West coast coffee.

2/3 organic nicaraguan 1/3 guatemalan. Roasted this up to use up some leftovers and didn't expect much, but it is showing real promise in the aeropress this morning.

Patrickh44231 · May 18, 2018

What aeropress recipe do you find makes a consistent cup? I find the the pure amount of recipes out there to be daunting even thought the promise different results.

I always do the invert brew method. I don't weigh my beans, I set my grinder and it gives me a consistent amount without much variation (purists will flame me). I basically add grounds to the second line, wait about 60 seconds after the water stops boiling in my electric kettle before adding to the AP, add water about 2/3 of the way, stir, top off with water, put the "lid" with filter on, press into my tumbler, then top off with water like an americano. That's for an approx 20oz yield in the tumbler.

You didn't ask, but I'll throw in my $.02 as well. I, personally, have never found the to be any taste difference in the inverted method, so I go regular style. Inverted gives less volume, and is dangerous. 17g coffee, grind setting around 4 of 10, fill to the top with 208° water. Let about 1" of water to pass through, then stir and insert the plunger without pressing. This will create a seal so it will stop dripping. One minute later I'll press it. That gives me a coffee cup sized cup of perfectly brewed coffee. Easy!

These are pretty good... also this is the last batch in the popcorn popper! Hoping to attain a more even roast

Just roasted up a batch of a Guatemalan Geisha from Sweet Maria's on Saturday. Had the beans for nearly a year. I roasted city plus. Boy this makes a fine cup of coffee. Too bad Geisha beans are so expensive.

I have been wanting to try to roast some up but with that price tag I would be afraid of totally screwing it up and then just being angry. Have never even tried a Geisha yet

I've had a few, and they're pretty tasty. But then again, so it's lots of other coffee.
