Coffee

i have other coffee making vessels but moka pot is the absolute best for making quick iced coffee at home, just brew it and pour over ice

coffeee as the new health food

can you all share your cold brew methods?

what ratios do you use? fyi I don't have a scale so id need volume measurements

I don't have volume measurements but I make flash iced coffee - 500g water, 45-50g coffee, brew onto 250-300g ice

When I have leftover beans mason jar cold brew is a 4:1 ratio

thanks!

get a kitchen scale man theyre super handy, i put 65 grams into a french press

80g coarse grind coffee in a 24 oz mason jar filled to the top with water, left in the fridge ~12 hours, then filtered through chemex filter.

Stole the basic idea from milo z way upthread (thanks!) after messing around with the Toddy a bunch of times.

Sorry, I know you said volume measurements...

kitchen scales are cheap, get one

guys i just used my aeropress to make cold drop and it was FUCKING INCREDIBLE.

i used the technique here
https://www.beanground.com/cold-brew-aeropress/

he doesn't mention a specific proportion of water to coffee. for a double shot i use two scoops of coffee - medium grind - i'm still working on the specifics - and about a glass of water. the fiddliest thing is getting the right rate of drip. at first my water was coming out too fast so i put a piece of scotch tape on the cap, the edge of the tape just hitting the hole, so as to partially block it. you can also play with the angle of the bottle - that will change how fast the water drips out. but dudes. it is SO EASY. and it's FREE.

"cold drop" = "cold drip"

i like cold drop better tho actually

Cold brew may decrease the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz1cEO01LLc levels in the mix

PUMP THE LEDS TO RED
DROP SOME COF
AND SHAKE YOUR HEAD

i was able to look up some grams to volume measurements for coffee, thanks eveyrone, i had some this morning and it was delicious

cold brew is much stronger huh, flavors were deeper than my bialetti and i noticed the caffeine a lot more

cold brew actually has less caffeine iirc

but now that i google it i find that the opposite is stated in many places

seems like bean for bean it does have less caf but just use more beans

i was told there would be no math on this exam ;_;

um coffee is all math actually

When I started drinking cold brew I would down half a mug of concentrate without diluting. Definitely got the caffeine shakes a few times.

heh oop

I can't do math until I drink my coffee, so basically I'm fucked

can coffeee really work its magic if there is no "brewing aroma"?

opening up a bag of beans and taking a big sniff and then they dont smell like anything is a completely demoralizing experience

Have you ever takedn a starbucks bag - now gently suqeeze like a new born piglet - wiff at the gass release valave - fwoof! out come wonderful coffee smells

no but it sounds good i love to smell the beans, def part of my process

if I may be so bold, it is the "sweetest fart" of life

beans smell better than brewed coffee and weed smells better in the bag than smoked (although for some reason weed smells best when someone else is smoking it off-screen)

One could say the "grass" is always greener!!!!???!?!??11!!!!eleventy111!!

Not in a Sessions AG world

haha tracer hand u know it "bud" !

I always drink Cafe Bustelo but I often find variations in flavor - I wonder if they just select whatever region has teh cheapest coffee that day to recoat - columbia, guatamela etc

i made cold brew

it's good!

cool! i made it a lot last week while i waited for a new moka pot to come. it was good. i don't like how it uses so much coffee though.

yes that is true

Ordered some of the draft latte/triple draft latte/cold brew cans to keep at my office. The only canned coffee I can get locally is Stumptown or Cuvee, both $5/can at Whole Foods, so hopefully these are palatable.

let us know what you think. I'm not crazy abt em.

i have mastered almond milk microfoam for my homemade lattes. yay! our espresso maker has a panarello so it took a bit of research & experimenting to get it working ... first few attemps looked like bubble bath suds lol

Just drinkin a cup right now yo

i have adopted an abandoned five pound bag of coffee
