Hey guys, Been experimenting with paper filters and I'm curious what exactly they trap or reduce? For example, would it remove both Quinic and Chlorogenic acids?, N-aht, catechol, pyrogallol, Kawheol, Cafestrol, all of the above? Some? None? submitted by...

Microfoamer for Husband
Hello! I'm looking to get a microfoamer (or nanofoamer?) for my husband for valentines day. He is really into making coffee. What I know so far is that he doesn't like the electric hand wisks and he currently uses a device that looks like a little tube that...
Preheating the mug – why did it take me so long to think of that
I bemoaned to myself for the longest time that my coffee didn’t stay at ideal drinking temperature for long enough, and thought I just had a low quality mug (could still be true). Literally only today did it occur to me to just fill my mug with hot water while the...
How has your coffee taste changed since jumping in the rabbit hole?
I’m curious as to how people’s tastes have changed with regards to beans, flavour characteristics, etc. after starting their coffee journey. For example, I no longer like dark smokey roasts and have moved to lighter roasts. submitted by /u/baaadmonkey...
Finding great coffee in Brazil
I'm looking for recommendations as I'm visiting Brazil for the first time, but I don't speak Portuguese. What should I look for? Is it true the cheaper coffees are from low altitude? Any signs in the packaging for quality coffee? submitted by...
Extreme water loss using automatic brewer
Hi all - I have a Bonavita automatic brewer that’s been going strong for a few years now, but lately have been noticing less and less coffee ending up in the pot. Today I put in ~40 ounces of water to 65g of coffee. The end result was only 24 ounces of brewed coffee....
I can’t make my coffee taste great no matter what I try
I've been making coffee for a while now. I buy a light roast from a local cafe, dial it in on my Baratza Encore which I clean monthly or whenever I try some new beans, use an electric kettle with temperature control (usually 200 F), brew in an Aeropress (13g...
Beans from Bali
I have an opportunity to buy organic single source coffee beans from Bali. Google isn't giving me much info; so l thought I'd ask here. Anyone that has experience with coffee from Bali: How's the taste and how would you compare it to other high grade...
Philips Series 3200 Espresso superautomatic observations
Hey folks, I just recently acquired the 3200 Series Espresso maker from Philips and I thought I'd share my observations to see how they align with other owners' experience of this superautomatic machine and possibly get some tips for better machine...
PSA: You can make a pretty good zero bypass brew with an AeroPress chamber.
My local coffee shop has a zero bypass brewer and I'd been liking the way their pour overs turn out with it. I thought about ordering one but figured I'd just test zero bypass with my AeroPress and it actually works quite well. The Recipe I've been...
Why skim milk doesn’t froth
I was doing an experiment for my biology lesson to determine how fat content will affect the foaming of milk. All scientific papers claim that skim milk is the best for frothing. However, my results showed the opposite. Though with other samples (1.5% and 3% of fat)...
Stagg Kettle pouring method? Spurts?
Whenever I pour from my Stagg Kettle, the water usually pours a nice, steady stream. However, on occasion the stream is somewhat interrupted with spurts, kinda like when you pour a liquid from a bottle. I hope that makes sense. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? When...
What’s going on with baratza?
Just got a new sette 270 last week. It was defect fresh out of the box. I look online and find that the sette series seems to have quite a lot of QA issues. No big deal. I'll contact the company. So I opened a ticked via the email system because I'm Canadian...

i’ve found a listing for a rancilio silvia used by someone local to me for $350. the breville bambino retails ~$410. read the listing below and let me know if you think it’s worth buying this machine second hand…. i’m a bit nervous not having something out of the box!...
Delonghi Stilosa vs Dedica
I have a Stilosa now and am thinking to maybe upgrade to something a little better as a treat for myself. Is it worth the change? Or should I just save up more for a Bambino plus? Thanks so much! submitted by /u/After_Lake_1987 [link] [comments]
Folgers uses less coffee for the same pot as me grinding beans, way less.
I use a hand grinder and make my own coffee every day. If I have people over it's a pain because I have to grind 3 batches of beans (96g) for a full pot of coffee. I bought a cheap container of Folgers (I know, it sucks) for when I have company and have been...
Cold Brew Notes?
When drinking cold brew, can you still taste the notes? I'm planning to make cold brew from different regions. I wonder if they would taste different or if particular notes would come out. Would it make sense to advertise the cold brew with the different notes of...
Help with Flair 2.0 Pro: can’t get pressure up before water goes through
I just picked up a Flair 2.0 Pro, and am running into an odd problem. After tamping, and pouring the water, there is almost no resistance when pre-infusing, and by the time I can get up to 6-9 bars I’ve hit my goal weight of espresso. I started at 4 on a Baratza...
is there any reason besides ritualism to use a French press/moka pot over a standard coffee maker?
I am trying to get into coffee culture, but at the same time I'd like to be sold a little on the utility of expanding beyond the American standard. Since taste is so subjective, I find it difficult to assess a uniform answer for each of the modes of preparation....
Help find a japanese coffee maker that used small coffee balls to make coffee, espresso, lattes and more
Hey y’all, a few years ago I stayed at an air bnb in Tokyo that had an amazing coffee maker and I can’t seem to find any info on it now. I thought it was nespresso brand but my searches came up with nothing. It used these tiny coffee ballspellets as grounds and used...
Trick for Preheating Ceramic v60
Like many of us, I watched James Hoffmann's recent videos on brewing a 1-cup v60, including the Q&A in which he suggests preheatung ceramic v60s in the sink or upside down over your kettle as it heats. I'm definitely not comfortable setting my brewer in...
How can I make my coffee stronger in a percolator?
I put Stumptown Founders coffee in my new electrical percolator. I added about three cups of water and a good amount of the grinds and it turned out pretty diluted. Is there something I’m doing wrong, never used a percolator before until now. It’s the Presto brand...
