Coffee

some nice cof

We have been using this little milk delivery company that brings us ronnybrook milk and yogurt and good eggs every week for a reasonable price, and they have their own label of coffee that's $11/lb and good enough, so I've just been drinking that.

Last few times I bought fancier coffee I was sort of let down - one was Counter Culture and one was Partners

I've been very impressed with the quality of the Stumptown shipments we've received. And you usually get it within a few days of the roast date.

people in this thread doing some .... stumping ... for stumptown coffee. should rename the thread "this thread is like stumptown for stumptown coffee"

I don’t mind seeing a little as we have near 0% stumptown infiltration locally

been brewing up a big bag of Kirkland Colombian blend here, folks

Need to make a run to the place that roasts a lot of varieties nearby, but only if I break out the presses and not just drip

I got my first coffeeshop cap since COVID the other day - I had to get it through the window from outside and it felt slightly illicit and was very satisfying to drink. I kind of wish I had one right now even though it's after midnight.

kirkland colombian is good. Hmmm,,,stumptown is kind of pricey. considering getting a bag as a splurge the next time I go home but good coffee is kind of wasted on me.

who are those sickos who make the canned coffee that's carbonated like mineral water and it has like.. lemon in it?

it was just such an odd tangent off of what I'd expect from coffee in a can that I want to try it again

I was just skimming this thread and I am surprised, yet again, that most people sip their coffee.

I really don't like how it's called "cupping" coffee.

sickos!

i got an iced white americano the other day from a cafe doing window service and the staff there decided to top up the cup not with water but with..... sparkling water

it tasted like ass

we're moving into the fourth wave of coffee, where it's formulated to be genuinely revolting

you're not a real coffee fan unless you praise it

It's the neurotic American drive for novelty and innovation. I feel like we had basically gotten things right in the last 5-10 years, but now we're getting away from that and into all this nitro bullshit, coffee sodas, weird flavorings, bulletproof, etc.

when i took the coffee back they apologised. it was a genuine mistake. it's wild how just the presence of bubbles seems to create a whole actual TASTE (a bad taste)

I like nitro cold brew. not really a big cold brew fan in general because of the mouthfeel of a cold brew coffee (it's probably the same as hot coffee but the temperature difference makes me experience the two differently).

yes carbonation + cof = bad

nitro is like a pint of Guinness crossed with a coffee

some people drink espresso and tonic

they give you a little thing of soda water with espresso in italy sometimes? or is that tonic?

espresso served with a soda water back is common in these parts

not mixed together though, ffs

i support the cofant garde

I agree Stumptown is pricey, but I usually only drink one 10 oz mug's worth a day, so I don't go through it that fast.

counter culture prob my fave of the big 3rd wave companies

i have to shout my local, out of logan utah, cafe ibis. if you are ever in utah look for the ibis.

been ordering beans from Olympia Coffee Co the last couple months

In crucial coffee news, I realized the only problem I had with my morning coffee ritual was that I didn't get to sit there enjoying it longer, so I've moved from ersatz Aeropress espresso lungo to Americano. (72g water pressed, then maybe 3x added.) I was worried that it might taste thin, but that hasn't been a problem at all.

what a great beverage!

do people rate james hoffmann's youtube videos on coffee

all the coffee people I know do

name a good burr grinder

I love my Breville Smart Grinder Pro.

Hario Skerton is a nice hand grinder

capresso infinity is one of the devices ive owned that i liked the most, i say that knowing that the knob did break in half after a couple years and no replacements were available but dont worry i glued it back together, the core mechanism of the device ie the grinder still looks like its got 300k miles left on it tho

I've had mine for about 14 years and never needed to have it repaired or serviced in any way.

there u go

applying too much force to the knob might suggest you're overindulging in the cof

it does have that mildly annoying tic where the grinds drawer thingy slides out ever so slightly from the vibrations and then a little bit of grinds falls behind it. Otherwise it's the best.

thats the only thing that annoys me

it needs a latch!

+ obligatory knob joke

i've got a bodum bistro burr grinder and it really doesn't get it quite fine enough for my aeropress but it's close enough for me to have gotten used to and adjust for

applying too much force to the knob might suggest you're overindulging in the cof

There are certain special products that just get away with their flaws. I felt the same way about the Pavoni when I had it running - there were all kinds of things about it that were a complete pain in the ass, but it made the best fucking coffee so I put up with it.

there was a lady always hanging around my local brooklyn deli asking people to buy her delicious coffees

asking people to buy them *for* her or *from* her?

for her, and then if no one wld shed often just take one from the self service station and run out, the people at the store wld be like hey (cant remember her name my friends and i called her delicious coffee) cmon again

If someone randomly asked me to buy them a "delicious coffee" I don't think I could help but oblige
