Coffee

I bought a frozen cappuccino slushy drink at the convenience store today and then poured it into a normal coffee at work

Another vexing thing about Japanese coffee is a lot of good coffee places don’t open until lunchtime, sometimes even mid afternoon.

does this make sense in local context somehow

lil pick-me-up

just coffee stuff

bought my gf a drip coffee maker for her bday

you're such a sweetie

vietnamese iced coffee is so good

i made some this morning, it was so good

I made some coffee today

We sell coffee at our shop now. I had been begging the boss to do it for ages.

vietnamese restaurant near work does a bomb iced coffee, SO gooooood

is 24 oz of iced coffee a lot

yeah

i was kind of worried about it at first - i could 'feel my heart' as a muscle sort of - but it's really nice i'm kind of just going to go with it

i'm looking for a new travel mug and can't find all the attributes i want in one. must be microwaveable, for starters.

Probably you want a glass one with a sleeve you can slide off

wow

Question: How long does coffee stay hot?
Answer: Coffee stays horrible for two maximum

Can a straw be used with this cup?
Answer: Thank you for your question.
Of course it is. But you need to pay attention to the diameter of the straw, and the width of the mouth is 0.196inch/5mm.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us, we are glad to assit you.

you're probably right, silby. i'm looking. amazon has so many random chinese brands now. i'm probably going to buy something that will give me lead poisoning. i want to get this

glass keep cup?

are those things actually good? they look kind of bad. i'm suspicious.

i like mine. with a rubber grip rather than cork (according to Ed the cork can be hard to clean). you can get a double-walled one.

theyre cute

the width of the mouth is 0.196inch/5mm.

that is quite small

Big fan of my keep cup. If you are looking for an insulated mug that keeps coffee hot for a long time this isn’t it. It’s more of a disposable espresso drinks cup. If I were in a the market for a insulated bu type thing I’d get one of the Chinese/Japanese bottle style ones. Kinto makes a good one, I bought my brother one for Xmas a few years back and he loves one. I was just in a Japanese kitchen things store and the T-Fal ones look great. Good spring loaded flippy lid.

What is now my daily coffee place in Sapporo does a great drip coffee service. Pick up your own stainless steel Insulated coffee bottle filled with coffee to your liking, (beans of choice, hot, iced, milk sugar, whatever) every morning as you pass by, drop it back on your way home and settle up once a week.

holy utopia batman

I teach early this semester and realized that neither my aeropress nor my pourover thing fit the mouth of my insulated travel mug so I have to make coffee in some other vessel and pour it in which makes me irrationally angry

oof that really grinds my beans

I've had my French press for awhile, it doesn't show how many cups the water level is, but I have a good sense of where to pour it til so that it's strong and that I'm not using too many beans.

that's a good place to be

My God! I made my bustelo a bit strong today - acrid

I spaced out and poured tepid water into my Aeropress this morning; thereby ruining 21 grams of my current favorite beans (Counter Culture's "Big Trouble" blend) that I just spent 2 minutes hand-grinding. I wanted to weep. Life is brutal.

I've done the same. The "must have coffee to remember how to make coffee" dilemma is something we all fall to

bp soothe yourself by buyin an electric burr grinder imo.

I have done that in my aeropress before but I have low standards so I just press out the tepid water out and use the same grounds and do it again.

I also don't understand this 'measuring' coffee grounds concept.

I recently came back to the coffeepot realizing it be clear water in the beaker - not having ppoured water into the correct spot on top

I sustained an actual bodily injury this morning (sliced pinky) opening a ring-pull tin of ground roast.

I also don't understand this 'measuring' coffee grounds concept.

do you mean with a scale, or do you just pour grounds into your vessel of choice without any measurement?

I don't think I could do that latter. And haven't yet bothered getting a scale, but then if you weigh the coffee you may as well weigh the water and then it just starts getting a bit too much minutae.

it takes like one second!

fair enough. i thought i would've gotten a scale by now to do all that. but it's winter and want the cof asap in the morning so i just keep making turkish coffee with cardamom in the morning. that is literally <2 minutes from start to finish

sorry second (superfluous) "in the morning"

I don't measure, just use a scoop and eyeball the amount to generally correlate with the amount of water I use

post, yeah I don't measure coffee. I just kind of eyeball it. I try not to make it for anyone else or even myself if I can get away with it.

I think somewhere above or another another thread I was complaining about a previous roommate throwing out hot water in a kettle, after I just made myself coffee, every single time because they needed the water to be the perfect temp and needed to start the boiling from scratch. I always had to walk away. I already have my subjects I am very uptight about and coffee is not one of them.

scoop and "close enough" temperature is fine, pre-ground is fine, the planet is dying for gods sake

yes x2

I always scoop in a little bit more when I have guests because most of my friends like really strong coffee

Planet is dying so I take pleasure in the things I can such as makin coffee like I’m a damn scientist

not saying u have to measure i actually do not even possess a scale rn but i have measured in the past and tuning yr recipe can make u a nice cup of coffee if u like such things, and its not much effort
