I've recently made the decision to get my SCA certification(s), which will hopefully lead to becoming a Q grader in a few years. In doing so, every question I've had about how coffee presents has led me down rabbit hole after rabbit hole. Most of it's...

Does the pour over recipe really matter that much?
Pretty much the title. I've been solely making pour overs every morning for the past couple of years and I'm starting to wonder if the recipe itself really matters that much. I've been to tons of great cafes and roasteries and of course, made my own at...
Wow. Just got an "end-game" hand grinder as a gift replacing my ""budget"" (lol) electric burr grinder and I can actually taste subtleties in my coffee??
I've been a coffee "nerd" for years, but never managed to get those coffees with fruity notes people were talking about. I've had an entry-level (by this sub's standards) electric burr grinder for going on 6 years now, and my aeropress coffee...
How to store Cold Brew for a long (month-ish) period?

Tried James Hoffman’s French press method but got super murky coffee.
Hi! I recently got off the plastic pods side of coffee, and today was my first time making a cup from actual beans. I followed James hoffman’s guide to making coffee with a French press pretty closely. I had medium roast while beans that were supposedly roasted...
Adjusting inventory in QB for weight loss?
Just starting home roasting business and want to know how you account for weight loss in Quick Books? I mean that you buy 10 lbs of beans but end up with roughly 8.5 lbs to sell? submitted by /u/joetiii [link] [comments]
8 years of pretentious coffee
Facebook memories have haunted me today by reminding me that 8 years ago today I got my first bag of Guatemalan beans from Pact coffee. Before then I knew I enjoyed a cup of coffee, but that's the moment I started down the rabbit hole we all live in. I've...
What’s a good way to taste good coffee?
I've really gotten into coffee at this point but I'm a little lost. I use an aeropress for coffee and a flair neo with a bottomless attachment for espresso. I've played with what different parameters (grinder size, brew time, brew temp, ect.) change...
Industry specific question: has anyone worked in both NYC and another major city (SF, Chicago, LA, etc)?
Currently living in NYC. I have a ton of barista experience and a little roasting / QC experience. Currently looking to relocate and I’m gonna start applying to jobs actively. Has anyone worked FOH or roastery / production jobs in NYC vs. other cities? Anything...
Nitro coffee roayal brew
I've been making nitro coffee with one of the royal brew nitro kegs. Does anyone else prefer the taste of no2 vs straight n2? Especially with the price difference, your paying more then double using n2 vs no2. submitted by /u/Bigfishin65 [link]...
How do you guys juggle brewing filter and espresso?
So I'm mainly a hario switch brewer with the occasional French press (if we have company and need to brew beyond two for me and my wife) or aeroprese (mainly for a single cup for me in the office). But lately I've been somewhat espresso-curious, mainly...
Lula is trying to make Brazil more green and help farmers, what kind of effect will it have on the global coffee industry?
I saw articles like this: https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/lula-eyes-green-farm-loans-tackle-amazon-deforestation-2022-08-17/ I am just wondering if Lula is successful and the Brazilian coffee farms and coffee production improve, depressing the global price...
I set up my first coffee cupping
My wife got me the Baratza Encore for Christmas, so I followed James Hoffmann's video on setting up a coffee cupping to try and develop tasting skills. I picked up two bags each from two specialty roasters near me, in addition to a grocery store brand. I'm...
I know almost nothing about coffee, but I carefully make my wife chemex pour over every morning and I’m looking for ways to surprise and delight her. Suggestions?
See title. I’ve never been a coffee drinker and a relative newbie. I’m more of a tea fan, and I have some medical things that limit my caffeine intake. My wife however absolutely lives and dies by her morning coffee. A few months ago the nice coffee maker I got her...
Fresh ground with a bad grinder vs pre-ground with a good grinder?
Hey everyone! I've got myself a nicer hand grinder and a shit electric grinder for coffee. I don't mind using the hand grinder a couple times a week, but it gets annoying on days where I'm doing multiple rounds of coffee. Coincidentally, for christmas,...
Just got a hario V60 and struggling with bitter coffee
I’ve tried a few times now and can’t get it. I do think each time I try it gets less and less bitter but still not to my liking. I do the James Hoffman way. 15g —>250g ration. Wet the paper. 50g to bloom, gentle swirl then 50g of water each to get to roughly 3 mins...
Has coffee become more popular lately?
More specifically, Specialty Coffee, or well, anything more than your typical instant or pre-ground with a drip machine. I've been drinking coffee for 10+ years, my whole adult life, but pretty much only pre-ground with a drip machine, the standard way in my...
Is this Espresso con panna, or is it called something else?
As far as I can tell, espresso con panna is espresso topped with whipped cream. I enjoy a double shot with 15-20ml of double/heavy cream stirred in. Is this less fancy combo still con panna, or is there a more specific name for it? submitted by /u/neiljt...

Ready to step up my coffee game!
I've gone down the rabbit hole, watched every James Hoffman video on YouTube, read a ton of posts here and in r/espresso...it's overwhelming. I live in the US, currently use a Cuisinart brewer and grinder but am SO ready for a better daily coffee experience....

How to figure out what recipe to use when brewing a new bag of coffee?
Let's say you buy new beans that you've never had before, where do you start in order to build a good recipe to get the most flavor out of those beans? Do you guys start basic and go from there or do y'all have some strategy? I sometimes find myself...
