Coffee

ya srsly if u plug up the hole its not dripping man

i usually do my cold press for ~12 hours max wld be curios to experiment w 24 tho, also with the hot bloom

xp: Mayhaps. I, like probably most other New Orleanians, have tried the cold brew concentrate sold in local refrigerator sections, but much prefer fresh and hot. I did think the tips on 70/30 roast, grind size, and coffee leftovers in the ice cube tray might be useful, but it was mostly the synchrony of this thread and the same discussion on the NOLA reddit that caught my eye.

ok this cold brew concentrate is REALLY strong, like 1 part concentrate and 2-3 parts water/milk makes v robust beverage. Gonna try the vanilla almond milk #hack today!!

i have now switched to just drinking cortados at work - so tasty when you make w/ heavy cream, takes 30 seconds to drink.

you have a frother at work?

yes, i am a barista :-)

ha there u go

sucked down a cold brew and now I'm shitposting all over the election thread

getting kind of over cold brew tbh. was at a stumptown the other day and got a "cold shot" which is cold brew concentrate infused with nitrogen to be like cold espresso. was fine but it's not really anything to be excited about just cause the damn thing is cold.

im thinking i prefer darker/stronger roasts when drinking cold brews

i used a french press then filtered it and put it on ice and adjust with water and ya it comes out too light

i think this method might be good with a darker/vienna roast

i will try immersing the light roast for 24hrs and will see if thats better

Flash iced is still unbeatable for cold coffee IMO.

well i might have to buy a chemex, aeropress or hario for that

which im not entirely opposed to

You can make it in some drip machines if they have a thermal carafe instead of hotplate.

i have been putting drip coffee + coconut milk in a blender & drinking over ice in the mornings, it's p good

trying to cut back on dairy a bit, but hell no i aint cutting back on my cof

Its just coffee lads

guys

cold drip

is the best

unfortunately the devices cost like £300

yep it's this one. my Place had two of them set up side by side today, i saw them in action. it's like one drop of cold water every 5-6 seconds. and it is like goddamn liquid gold in a cup when it's finished, just ridic. despite my aeropress and activity on this thread i'm not a snob, i like bustelo. but this is just NEXT LEVELLLLLLL

I was thinking about getting a french press again or some other fancy thingamabob, but instead I bought a filter cone for like $4 and it has been pretty ideal for me. I'm usually only making one cup. It's really easy to clean. Recommend.

i can taste the difference in the ways ive prepared coffee so far

my coworker who doesn't mind the time investment of making a french press of cof at work (and enjoys sharing it with me) can't have caffeine!! he was in a bike accident and got a nasty concussion and the doctors told him to stay away from caffeine for a month. was going to buy him a bag of really good beans but I must wait.

the bike accident is the bigger tragedy, I think.

i swear to god the hario cold drop is like coffee whiskey. so strong, so complicated, so crazy. you have it with a couple of ice cubes and just sip it for like half an hour.

cold DRIP i mean

mic drip

Iwaki cold drip doesn't make a large amount (maybe 16oz) and the drip speed isn't adjustable but it's only $30. Definitely brighter-tasting than immersion cold brew, very refreshing. Sometimes hard to tell the difference between cold drip and flash-iced to me, but the former will have less caffeine IIRC.

I stopped at Wawa this morning on my way to work (local "lifestyle" convenience store chain) and got an iced coffee there, and you get it out of a machine, and it's just like a thick sweet milky liquid that tastes like melted coffee ice cream with a waffle cone aftertaste?? to be fair it tasted p good but this is NOT how i want my morning cof

oh shit i haven't had any cof yet

intrigued by this waffle cone-ness

I've had a low level headache for 24 hours and thought maybe it was because I didn't have cof yesterday.

No such luck, not caffeine-related.

mh maybe the univ is gently urging you to come visit ya boy stevie

could be, could be

'bout to put together my Yama drip tower

yamow be there

Cuvee Black & Blue canned 'nitrogenated' cold brew is better than the Stumptown

think i ground it too fine and maybe didnt use the right kind of coffee (adding milk turned it grey instead of brown) but it tasted great and blasted me awake

COLD BREW UPDATE: the ratio of 1:4.5 that I used previously was supposed to be VOLUME, not WEIGHT (fuck you Serious Eats for peddling some gd volume ratios). Just made another batch w/ 1:10 by weight but haven't tried it yet. Will report back but I anticipate it being much better.

i think my favorite iced coffee drink is still just espresso shots poured over ice

that's the ratio i've used succssfully, but i just think of it as 1/3 c grounds : 12 oz water; or 1 cup grounds:36 oz water.

xpost

I'm happy to report that my 1:10-by-weight cold brew ratio has produced a MUCH more sensible finished product that dilutes nicely to something like 2:1 coffee:water (or in my case vanilla almond milk, h/t to mh upthread I think), aaaaand I realized I could strain the final thing through a Thai tea sock, which is much better than a metal strainer and easier to set up than a cheesecloth (though rinsing out the leftover grounds is a bit of a PITA). This is proving to be a v great way to use up these gross overroasted beans we have lying around, though I want to do the math and see how much each serving costs. I know the yield is smaller w/ cold brew but I wonder how drastic it is.

UPDATE: The Starbucks Via Colombia that everyone rates v highly is... ok. It's not great but it's much better than most instant coffee. I can't decide if it's worse or better than the Kcup coffee we have in our office that I bought it to replace.

cafe bustelo k-cups were on sale at target

sorry environment, sorry world, I bought the k-cups

love that cof

Iced latte even in the cold months

all cof all the time
