I hate coffee

::welcomes am0n to the aeropress gold pass club::

i want one

although my french pressin has been good lately

dyao do u usually make espresso with it or americano

both are great imo. americano lengthens the experience

this is the thread for hating coffee

bitches

'tches

learning to drink coffee black. it's . . . an acquired taste.

good coffee don't need any dressings, imo

maybe starbucks isn't good coffee.

yeah i feel like if u don't like it it's the wrong coffee. however i can't drink starbucks black

so i mean try a different kind

i have heard from informed sources that starbux coffee tastes burned

but that is no excuse for savagery imo

yeah starbucks coffee tends to be burnt or sometimes. i dunno. it's all personal taste, really.

blah "or something"..
lol xp

starbucks is usually french roast or higher. try a full city roast

I think you should try something that isn't too acidic, like sumatra mandheling. it's a dark but full flavored bean with low acidity, pretty good gateway bean imo. then you can decide whether or not you like brightness and spiciness in your coffee, and you can move on to african and south american beans.

is sumatra mandheling coffee mostly available via online retailers? it doesn't sound like something i'll easily find in my local supermarket.

i do want to try it.

trader joe's carries it I believe

seems this thread has good recs on what else is good at TJ's

about to have another cup of coffee way too late in the day stop me before it's too late111

!!!

Hey you! Stop it!

stop harbl! just stop!

i had no coffee today. woke up late, had to go look at apartments, then it was lunchtime, so i drank beer instead.

today i had coffee>coffee>beer>beer>coffee

how did that feel?

might as well camp out in the can with that kind of intake

it's goin well im firin on all cylinders

i feel surprisingly ok. kind of want a beer now fwiw

picked up this one cup filter, it works rilly well

oops i'm having coffee! pacific rim blend is great btw

hey dyao how many ounces does that one cup filter make? 8?

wait a minute was that a fucking dumb question or what

loool. well it makes slightly less than the amount of water you pour into it as the grounds will soak up some water. I think it's better than a french press, less sediment.

wtf u already have aeropress

lol I have a problem :-|

for drip, I have the swissgold onecup and a sock filter. the sock is better but a more inconvenient to clean.

for espresso style I have the aeropress.

lol sock filter. have u seen/tried the different aeropress methods people have come up with for instance
http://timwendelboe.no/2009/06/top-3-aeropress-methods/
the one in the aeropress instruction booklet just seems off somehow

whoa those look intense. willhave to give them a shot! (no pun intended)

wait the aeropress is made of plastic? does it taste plasticky? i used to sometimes make tea in my plastic nalgene and now i am imagining that's what it tastes/smells like :(

doesn't taste plasticky at all!

ok, good

drinking some tanzanian AA it is A++++

Was recently introduced to siphon coffee. A bridge too far for home prep, but it tasted nice.

i need to figure out what i am going to do for coffee in my new place. do i get a new drip pot? french press?

i am happy french pressing

I don't know but F favors NesCafe which I know is probably considered disgusting by purists but hell, it's close enough to coffee for me when I don't want to leave the apt (and we don't have a coffee-maker). Also, unexpected bonus, the glass jars it comes in are the right size to accept my fancy Dutch jar toppers:

my major complaint with french pressing is that the coffee does not stay as warm as in a drip pot when it's on a burner. also, it is more labor intensive if you need to make a lot of coffee (say, if you have a guest and each of you wants to drink more than one cup). also for some reason i feel like i don't get the benefit of the caffeine as much from french press?

i am not going instant. i have had nescafe a lot - v popular in europe, actually. but in the morning i need to grind some beans and have fresh, real coffee.

yeah all those things are true. i can only have one cup and am always waiting for it to cool down enough to drink anyway. i don't know about the caffeine thing though. could be you have had only dark roasts from it or something.

no i have been using the same beans i used in my old drip pot.

oh i didn't know *you* had been using it. my parents use drip pot on stove, it works ok
