let's call each other names over coffee and betray those who have shown us the way, starting back in May, back when we thought we didn't like coffee.

it was because i started buying coffee at the grocery store to save a couple dollars. i don't know what you're trying to say though? it has nothing to do with putting coffee in the freezer. which i have already conclusively proven is dumb.

ok it's not a real oil but it's a water soluble thing

no it isn't

are you suggesting coffee is composed of fake oil
The essence of the coffee bean is seen as the oils. These are oils in that they float, however, they are also water soluble, which really makes them not an oil.

well it isn't my fault that they are stupid and call not-oil "oil".
― quincie, Thursday, 22 October 2009 17:18 (fourteen years ago) link
RoastingA good roaster must be part artist, and part scientist, to maintain quality and consistency. It is during the roasting process that the sugars and other carbohydrates within the bean become caramelized, creating a substance, which is known as the coffee oil. Technically, this fragile chemical is not actually oil, since it is water soluble, but it is what gives the coffee its flavor and aroma.

its ur fault for not googling tho

i can't find where i was reading about this a month ago here is a book from 1922
Coffee Oil and Fat It is well to distinguish between the coffee oils as they are termed by the trade and true coffee oil In speaking of the qualities of coffee connoisseurs frequently use erroneous terms particularly when they designate certain of the flavoring and aromatic constituents of coffee as oils or essential oils Coffee does not contain any essential oils the aromatic constituent corresponding to essential oil in coffee being caffeol a complex which is water soluble a property not possessed by any true oil True the oil when isolated from roasted coffee does possess before purification con siderable of the aromatic and flavoring constituents of coffee They are however no part of the coffee fat but are held in it no doubt by an enfleurage action in much the same way that perfumes of roses etc are absorbed and retained by fats and oils in the commercial preparation of pomades and perfumes This affinity of the coffee oil for caffeol assists in the retention of aromatic substances by the whole roasted bean However upon extraction of ground roasted coffee with water the caffeol shows a preferential solubility in water and is dissolved out from the oil going into the brew The true oil of coffee has been investigated to a fair degree and has been found to be inodorous when purified Analysis of green and roasted coffees shows them to possess between 12 percent and 20 percent fat Warnier extracted ground unroasted coffee with petroleum ether washed the extract with water and distilled off the solvent obtaining a yellow brownish oil possessing a sharp taste From his examination of this oil he reported these constants djf_ 0.942 refraction at 25 81.5 solidifying point 6 to 5 melting point 8 to 9 saponification number 177.5 esterification number 166.7 acid number 6.2 acetyl number 0 iodin number 84.5 to 86.3 Meyer and Eckert carefully purified coffee oil and saponified it within alcohol In the saponifiable portion glycerol was the only alcohol present the acids being carnaubic 10 percent daturinic acid 1 to 1.5 percent palmitic

it's from google books so the text didn't really pick up. sorry for all the fake words.
― harbl, Thursday, 22 October 2009 17:20 (fourteen years ago) link
oil meaning the oily substance you see on the surface of darker roasted coffee beans that's not chemically an oil but what are you supposed to call it
― harbl, Thursday, 22 October 2009 17:23 (fourteen years ago) link
i keep 1 bag of coffee in freezer for emergencies (like when i forget to buy more coffee). other than that, i buy whole beans about once a week and grind daily. mmm.

Also, cosign on the Aeropress. I actually carry it with me when I travel. Now I just need a tiny grinder. Any leads?

Kenya aa is great stuff! I'm jealous
I have a small hand grinder made by Hario, generally pretty good thoug the grind is not 100% consistent, and it takesa long time when you want a fine grind

it's a good compromise; it's ceramic and plastic, so not too heavy for travel, and gets the job done
