lol. i got the breville bambino upgraded "pro" package from seattle coffee gear which includes a second single-walled portafilter along with breville's standard double-wall. still getting my bearings but one thing i can say is that it functionally doesn't have a heatup time. they say it comes to temp within 3 seconds which seems like some sort of magic trick.

not yet but probably in the offing.....i have a baratza encore but i should probably upgrade based on my fancy new machine.

Office of a company I did some work for last year had a breville. Really good coffee machine and they bought great beans for it.

My coffee maker is the alibaba knockoff of this. Brews a great cup, 1 porlex full of Ethiopian in the top, fill with warm water to the 3 cup line on the bottom. Very smooth but strong coffee.

Siphon coffee maker IIRC

I almost bought that one when I moved into a place with a gas stove but there were too many hot, fiddly, breakable glass bits for me.
― Donald Trump Also Sucks, Of Course (milo z), Friday, 21 August 2020 00:44 (three years ago) link
I’ve broken the top part once but the whole thing only cost 30 dollars and a new glass was 10. I really like the taste, it’s somehow smoother and cleaner than filter or press.
― American Fear of Scampos (Ed), Friday, 21 August 2020 01:33 (three years ago) link
so this may be a dumb question but do you actually light some kind of flame under the bottom to use it?
― call all destroyer, Friday, 21 August 2020 01:38 (three years ago) link
A burner or I’ve seen some using like a Benson Burner setup or can of sterno.
― Donald Trump Also Sucks, Of Course (milo z), Friday, 21 August 2020 01:40 (three years ago) link
KitchenAid makes an electric one.
It’s a little spirit burner, runs on meths/alcohol. Electric burners and all electric ones are available.
Bodum does an electric one I’ve had my eye on.

That looked like a lot of grounds for that much water. If the "6 cups" was the standard coffee carafe 6 cups and the scoops were standard scoops, that is four times what I use in my drip machine.

I love cold brew, but all my attempts to make it so far have sucked. It is burning a hole in my bank account. Any tips on how to succeed in DIYing it, please share!― Alpha 666, The Number of the Beast (I M Losted), Tuesday, 18 August 2020 17:35 (four days ago) bookmarkflaglink

My momma bought me beans from Bump 'n' Grind in Silver Spring MD. Really good. She loves me, or at least she loves coffee and wants to share her addiction.

I had to give up coffee,other than the rare decaf cappuccino, had to accept it makes me hyper-anxious and annoys my bowels. I miss the buzz. I drink a decent amount of tea as befits someone from Britain,the decrease in caffeine per dose really makes a difference for me.
Still a very sad situation.

I switched to a hand grinder while on vacation and first few batches the grind was too fine for the dripper I’m using and coffee tasted kind of flat and had some bitter notes. Today I got it to a coarser grind that is working for me.

A friend of mine got me a bag of her favorite coffee. I really don't like it but it would be wasteful to throw. it away. Is there a cake recipe or something that will use a pound of coffee

maybe something like tiramisu ie soaking cake in coffee but tiramisu is kind of a pain to make

How about poundcake, but substitute coffee for the flour? Texture might be lacking but I bet it would be memorable.
