4 different ways to brew iced coffee

I’ve bought the espresso blend by Kirkland and I don’t hate it. Just wanted other’s thoughts on whole beans from Costco? If you have a preference. submitted by /u/runningiswhatido [link] [comments]

I finally made the plunge this weekend! How did I do? Got these for a total of $500 on Facebook marketplace, and they threw in a set of springs for the gaggia and the bottemless filter. Grinder is ascaso I-mini, it’s a perfect size because of the limited space in my...

A specialty coffee roasting company based in western Ukraine called Soloway Coffee (Instagram link) this week opened its first location in the United States. Beans…

My wife and I have a subscription to a local coffee roaster who we trust. They send a variety of beans and including some unwashed and sun dried coffees. The flavor is interesting but we have a hard time with the smell. I spent some time on a farm in my youth and I...

Hi guys so I’ve narrowed my choice down to Timemore C2 Timemore C3 1zespresso Q2 S KINGrinder K6 Which one of these is the best? My requirements are that it needs to be able to take 32g of coffee and can produce consistent grind sizes from espresso down to pour...

About a year ago we compared a Mignon and a Niche for espresso. As we clearly preferred the flat burrs for espresso we recently bought a Fellow Ode Gen 2 to compare to the Comandante C40, which we exclusively used for the last few years for pourovers. Compared to...

Like in terms of the flavour of the coffee is there a hierarchy of say, varietal, growing location, process, roast level? If I were to really like a particular coffee, should I aim to find other Ethiopian beans or other natural process first? submitted by...

For the past year I have been attempting to fix a constant weird sourness in my cup. I have tried different brewers (French Press, Moka Pot, Espresso machine [cheap]), each producing sour, over acidic coffee. I have tried different beans and roasts. Whole bean and pre...

So I have the opportunity to buy an existing coffee shop. It's a coffee shop that's been going for 10+ years, constantly filled with people, and most importantly great coffee. I will be getting access to financials in the next couple of weeks and hopefully,...

I have an opportunity to have a booth at a local coffee festival! We are extremely excited about this, because we are small business and we could really use the visibility. This being my first time running a booth I’m a little nervous. So I’m wondering has anyone ever...

I recently read somewhere that much of the cafes in Seoul are very much style over substance (meaning they invest more in interior aesthetics than the quality of their brews) as opposed to somewhere like Berlin where I have heard mostly positive things from both...

Every time my mother gets a new bag of coffee beans, the first thing she does is get some paper towels and lay out all the beans between 2 large sets of paper towels overnight. Next morning, there's clearly oil absorbed by the beans and they look less oily....

Hello! My apologies if this question is dumb. So I was under the impression that a macchiato was a shot of espresso “marked” with a dollop of milk: thus very small in a little espresso cup. Have people changed the meaning of this beverage? I keep seeing people showing...

In a very recent thread, someone asked "what is bitter and what is sour?". In that thread, someone suggests brewing 10g of coffee in 200g water (overextracted, bitter), then 10g coffee in 100g of water and topping up/diluting to 200g (underextracted, sour),...

Does anyone know why Robusta's binomial name usually has "Pierre ex A. Froehner" added onto the end? I've tried googling to find out the origins of the taxonomy but no luck. Anyone have a good source? submitted by /u/051190 [link]...

In the interest of not spending a lot of money on a new coffee maker or espresso machine, I'm curious if I can use my existing thermal carafe to boil my grounds on an electric coil stove top. Lid off, about 5 cups, for no longer than 4 minutes, maybe. I'd...

I'll be traveling to the UK soon but need my daily fix. I do pourovers every morning with high quality beans to start my day but need a travel/airplane carry on-friendly solution when I get to the UK from the states. I've tried a few instant options like...

I am embarking on a specialty coffee journey and want to be better at tracking various parameters in my brews. What do you guys track usually 1) for the blends you buy/roast 2) for the brews you make? submitted by /u/ketodnepr [link] [comments]

I recently got a washed Kenya and honey Ethiopia from the same roaster, both pretty lightly roasted and both were bland and tasted like.. coffee. However I’ve had darker naturals from South America that were absolutely vibrant and lively (albeit not my preferred...
