Help me decide on a coffee making machine
So I’m about to move from my parents to live alone and get a coffee maker and I’m debating myself between Sage Barista Express, Sage Bambino Plus and just some regular coffee maker like moccamaster. Sage machines are cool, nice looking and they would be nice no doubt...
French Press alternative?
Hi coffee lovers of reddit! I sadly managed to smash my french press the other day while doing the dishes and it is time for it to retire 🙁 I was thinking though, that this might be the perfect opportunity to try out a new way to make myself my morning cup(s) of...
Opinions on organic vs non organic single origin coffee?
Curious to get the boutique coffee community’s opinion on this. We’re already opting to buy small batch, quality roasted single origin coffees, so how important is it for the beans to be organic? I’m a pretty health conscious person and opt to buy organic food...
Machine grinding vs. hand grinding: is either inherently ‘better’?
Hi guys, Quick question. I'm the very happy owner of a Lido 2 hand grinder which I now use regularly for getting a nice coarse grind for cold brew. I also have a cheap(ish) electric burr grinder but I haven't fired it up in years. My question is as follows:...
Breville Barista Max – replacement hopper?
Hi everyone, I accidentally destroyed the hopper on my Breville Barista Max on Saturday - tried to clean it, as I do regularly, and when I twisted it to the unlock position all three of the screws underneath sheered off. I have no idea why it happened but I know that...
Baratza Encore M2 Upgrade Course Grind Issue
Hello. I recently upgraded my newly acquired Baratza Encore to M2 burrs. I thought I followed all the steps through their own video, but apparently not as my grinds are extremely course. I am guessing I messed up with placement of the washers. Any tips or guides to...
Gifted beans from my dad but the coffee isn’t "right"
My dad is super into coffee and I had some a couple weeks ago that tasted incredible! He made me 3 bags at different roast levels to decide my favorite, and I've excitedly brewed it up. However it isn't tasting right. I only have a French press and a small...
Speciality coffee culture is truly amazing
I always frequent the same places whether they're bars, restaurants, or cafes. And it's just amazing how I'm treated at cafes especially. Baristas are usually incredibly sweet and genuine. And always willing to engage in conversations. They're...
Grind size vs time for immersion brewing
What is the actual difference between finer grind and shorter steep vs coarse grind and longer steep, when it comes to immersion methods like a French press or aeropress? Theoretically the two would have the same extraction level and strength if using the same ratio,...
Yield from french press
Hi everyone! I recently started using a french press. I posted earlier about it and got some great responses. I'm here today with another query. How much yield should I expect? For example, if I use 10 grams of coffee with 150 ml of water, how many ml of coffee...
Anyone do this – cowboy coffee, then pour through a filter (a bootleg Hario Switch brew method)?
I've been looking at all of the rave reviews for the Hario Switch, and it has me wondering -- why not just brew the coffee cowboy style in a mason jar or whatever, and then pour everything through a filter? Does anyone else do this? submitted by ...
Bought this at goodwill for $9 with all the parts and a few replacement plastic pieces.

Takahiro Shizuku induction?
Hello! I have a question for those of you who own and use a Takahiro Shizuku kettle. The 0.9L version was specifically described as being induction compatible on the site I ordered from. Yet it doesn’t work on my induction burner, nor will a very strong neodymium...
Newbie here. Are these beans roasted appropriately? Also, need some general guidance.
I'm from India, so haven't got much interaction with real, non-instant coffee. Got bit by the coffee bug some months back while on the quest for a solid cup of homemade South Indian Filter Kaapi which led me to, first a South Indian filter then a French...
Clever dripper drawing down too fast
I'm not sure what I'm really doing wrong here. I'm using 20g grounds, 320g water and I have a 1zpresso JX. I started with it set to 20 (60 clicks), it drew down in 30 seconds yet still came out bitter. Even though the drawdown was very fast I opened it...
Timemore Grinder GO vs manual grinders
Hello! I am bidding for an unused Timemore Grinder Go and I wanted to ask the hivemind if a manual one is better than this battery driven one? For apples to apples comparison - let's say, is it better than Timemore C2? I am not sure if either will do espresso,...
French press alternative for someone with a disability?
I have a family member who used to be a big french press fan. He was diagnosed with Parkinsons, and I think the press has become a little too much effort for him so he's been using instant coffee (nicer instant, but still not like he used to drink) instead. He...
How do I get better at tasting different notes without expensive coffee equipment?
Might be a dumb question, apologies. I've had beans from a variety of different origins and while I can taste a general difference between them, I don't understand the notes (e.g. "caramel, toffee, cranberry" etc.) that are advertised on the bag....
How to roast anaerobically fermented coffee
Among the many different kinds of experimental processing methods, anaerobic fermentation is perhaps the most popular and intriguing. Interest in this processing technique is only growing, with more and more anaerobic fermented coffee available in cafés and roasteries...
Manual or electric single cup… Which is more convenient?
Purely a philosophical question... I often see posts from people where they imply an electric one-cup is more convenient than a manual device like an Aeropress or a V60. Granted, machines might arguably be more convenient if you never wash them or use fresh coffee,...
What do you do about water?
My tap water is very hard, and thus I need to descale my espresso machine rather often. So I’m looking into getting a filter or buying bottled water to use, but not sure what to look for. I have heard that some people go to their local cafe to get water from their...
