Coffee

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.

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.

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

wanted something different so bought some from red bird (online place out of bozeman) someone once mentioned on here. to whomever that was, you have good taste! drinking the single origin from Brazil now (Guatemala is on stand-by) and it's a damn fine example of the bean imho

i have gone back to the classic drip coffee + cream or half/half and it's just so comforting

kinda gone back to breakfast tea lately tbh

I decalcified The Machine today.
I still drink Italian espresso house blend from the place down the street. And yet there's so much opportunity here to branch out. But it's good! My excuse is obstinance+frugality :/

I got a thermos recently. It's like a miracle -- hot coffee throughout the day. So much better than standard travel mugs.

I dont even understand how it works.

the heat thief gnomes use molecules to steal heat, so you surround the liquid with an area that has no molecules in it... fiendishly clever

Not following. Need this explained in a ted talk format that connects to my day to day life

You know how there's no sound in space, because there's no transmission mechanism? It's like that, coffee needs an esophagus to travel through
