Coffee

mine looks like a thermos

Yeah we have one like that, too (because we kept smashing the glass ones).

By we, Carl means Carl.

I'm pretty sure you broke the one before the one I most recently broke.

No way!

i bet u did

btw I saw some coffee blogger claim that his thorough testing showed that an unbleached filter added a lot more unwanted extra taste to pour-over coffee than a bleached one, which is contrary to intuitive naturalness=goodness thinking

My brother works in the coffee industry and he told me the same thing. Since he pointed it out, I do notice a stronger paper smell when using an unbleached filter.

gold filter u guys

VegemiteGrrl making coffee with gold, spells

insulated french press made of metal is called a colombian press i think

starbucks flat whites are p good, it's true. in addition to ristretto shots they also use whole milk instead of 2% (which is apparently the default when you order a latte) so it's creamier.

also grande (medium) and venti (large, too big, don't ever get this u savage) always have the same amt of espresso in them so the grandes have a higher proportion of coffee.

"double tall two pump mocha" sounds pretentious, delicious

also "blonde roast" is ridic, i have never once seen this anywhere else, gtfo w/ "blonde roast"

gold filter u guys

my French press coffee is never cold. I just about boil the kettle, pour the water in the French press, leave it 4 minutes before plunging, then immediately pour it in the cup and it's at that stage still too hot for me to drink.

I keep meaning to start doing the pour over thing though, my favourite coffee is a cup of African coffee with tart acidity/black tea flavours made in a pour over.

what's the best way to make coffee if you want to minimize the coffee aroma created in the process?

that question hurts my heart

my guess would be cold brew

1) ball up coffee grounds in kleenex (the kleenex will dissolve in your stomach)
2) ingest kleenex coffee ground ball
3) drink 8 ounces of the hottest water you can stomach
4) try not to burp

lol

srsly

my apartment is very small and every smell goes everywhere, but coffee dominates everything : /

wow the smell of delicious rich coffee filling your apt what a travesty

hey guys I really want to bake some deep dark chocolate brownies but i'm afraid it'll make my apt smell like brownies is there anything I can do?

add lysol to yr brownies

ok for real though I just cold brewed for the first time this week and it was awesome. j, you should do that! it's easy and makes excellent coffee, but the downside is that you wind up using more coffee than if you were making hot-water-coffee. I used:

1 cup of medium-coarse ground Ethiopian coffee
4 cups of water
I let it sit for 16h in a bowl in the fridge and strained it thru cheesecloth-covered strainer.

it tastes v excellent! I've been mixing it with an equal amt of horchata and it's still p strong. You could probably dilute it 2pts water to 1 pt coffee and still have a delicious bev

i would love it if it was just coffee but my place is hard to ventilate so it lingers and everything else gets in and ruins the coffee smell : /

i have made coffee on purpose just for the smell

u monster

so have i!! i just want more control over the process

get a fume hood

not that expensive, even

oh nm that's just the filter

something i love about coffee as well as the smell of confronting the grounds is the unusual slightly unreal texture of coffee at rest in a nice receptacle, like i have been drinking illy coffee recently & when you take the lid off to see the coffee it's like super rich soil glowing slightly smelling great it's like being on mars in your own home

^^ all-time ilx post HOF imo

Bought a can of Cafe Bustelo because I heard it makes good cold brew without having to grind a shit ton of beans. Made a cup of it with the Aeropress just to see - oof, that's rough. I can see why it would be good cold brewed (since that dulls the bitterness) but a concentrated black drink is rough.

anyways i have been making my iced coffee SUPER SUPER strong lately and it is so overwhelming and intense and so good, i look forward to this intense coffee high like every day it is so great

lol drugs

TS: paying $5 for iced lattes at shops, sitting around in public and feel paranoid VS buying a crappy espresso machine, saving money by making the elixir at home, sit around staring out the window

buy a good espresso machine at least :)
