College Station Coffee Delivery

I've been realising that there are loads of eponymous names in coffee techniques - like Weiss distribution tool, Stockfleth move, Staub tamping, Kasuya 6:4 etc. Sounds a lot like medicine/surgery where nearly all surgical instruments are named after a person. Can...

I’ve never been a coffee drinker primarily because I don’t want to be someone who can’t function without it- I’ve heard too many horror stories of people who tried to cut coffee for a month and couldn’t make it because it was physically torturous. Despite the stories,...

I was inspired by this video to try the niche flow control disc with my Baratza Encore. The original disk seemed too big so I remodelled it to fit the Baratza Encore without removing the wing nut. According to Niche, it's supposed to create a more consistent flow...

I just bought a Clever because I wanted an easy way to make 12-16oz cups in the morning without the sludge of a French press. I tried James Hoffman’s recipe, and am whelmed 20g coffee at a medium grind (6 on an Oxo burr grinder), 360g water at 208F. Rinse the filter,...

Pretty much what I said in the title. I've been emailing my roster any cover storage and they mentioned having a 1kg bag in the freezer and taking out what I need to thaw before resealing the bag and leaving it in the freezer (e.g. not taking the bag out of the...

I've owned a Gaggia Gran Deluxe for almost five years. In the beginning I could get a perfect layer of crema, my shots were flavourful, and I got the right consistency with the steam wand for whichever Milk texture I was after. After some time, the steam wand...

I forgot the name of the machine but it is similar to this one on the left side with 2 slots. Ive only worked there 2 times since I've just started but when pushing the lever to let the espresso flow, its takes around 10 seconds. Ive worked in an other coffee bar...

Just thought I'd throw this out there. I'm returning my ode v2. The static issue is not mitigated. It might be better than the V1, but after a couple weeks of daily use, there are grounds literally everywhere. The bigger issue is the feeding. The slope is...

Was watching [this video](https://youtube.com/watch?v=d3pTpXvdo4E) last night and in it he low key mentioned wrapping the bolt that adjusts the grind size with plumbers tape, which eliminates wobble at the bearing that stabilizes the rotating burr. When you take off...

So yeah, just recently got an aeropress and have used it 2-3 times now. Don't know if this is normal or not, but it's basically self brewing. Whether I put the plunger on top or not to cover the grounds and such, it starts pouring itself out into the mug. I...

Bit of a long shot maybe but I'd like to better develop my tasting skills alongside some like minded people. I'm thinking of organising a small cupping evening here in Aarhus where I live and am looking for a handful of r/coffee folk from near here who might...

So my partner and I are both coffee lovers and are planning on finally starting our home setup. Since it's her birthday soon, I wanted to surprise her by getting a burr grinder and french press to start us off but I wanted to ask the experts (you guys) if my...

Hi everyone, Just thought I’d spread a little word that I’ll be bringing the world of specialty coffee to 18 unsuspecting folks tomorrow morning. I’m a lecturer for a university (kinesiology) but I’ve never lectured on coffee. Although, coffee has been a massive,...

I want to try the freeze distilled milk used in barista championships but I wonder if there is a faster process to do it at home. For those unfamiliar: freeze distilling milk starts with freezing milk completely than melting it inside your fridge till half the volume...

I bought this machine when I worked at Starbucks years ago. The pods are all discontinued and the machine has sat on a shelf in my basement for a couple of years. What can I do with it? Any ideas are welcome. submitted by /u/xseanprimex [link] ...

I'm 23 and never finished school or hardly had any work experience before this but I decided to knuckle down and work on my passion for coffee. I will be one of the new baristas at a local specialty cafe and I am both excited and anxious. There's still a lot...

Got it in September 2022 and been using it since. Adjusting grind size always felt not quite right for me because I was scared of burrs going dull. And also I don't know how to check if I'm on an absolute zero click. Anyone knows how to make sure that...

My bf and I went to the Starbucks Reserve in Seattle, and he really liked the whiskey barrel aged cold brew. I'd like to get him some beans for V-day. I googled it, but there are a few brands, and I don't know which to get. Does anyone have personal...

tl;dr I used harder water than normal to brew my coffee with a pour over dripper but kept everything else the same. The drawdown time was much faster but the taste was the same. I'm visiting my parents for the next few days and decided to bring my Kalita 155,...

Hello, I have just purchased a moccamaster select because I’m lazy and pouring water over ground coffee is too much like hard work in the morning. One of the primary reasons I bought this thing was because it has a hot plate but EU regs state for the device past 2015...

I recently bought a 2lb bag of Costa Rica Las Lajas Natural from Onyx. However, I’m having significant trouble dialing this in on my plastic V60. I’ll tell you what I’m doing, and maybe you guys can help me dial in this coffee correctly. Currently, I’m using Hoffman’s...

I'm living abroad for a few months, and all I have here is a cheap automatic drip machine - I have a nicer one at home, but I can't stand pourovers/etc and so I'm using this for now. It actually makes decent coffee out of what I usually buy, which is...

Maybe this is just me, but my first sip of coffee in the morning tastes a little off, bitter or stronger, but the second one onwards tastes better. I use an app to rate the brews I make, and if I use the first sip as reference I would rate it way lower than the second...
