Hi! I'm a bit coffee clueless. I want to gift an advent calendar and I know the receiver uses whole beans and prefers lighter roasts. Darker roasts don't need to be completely avoided, but I don't want to buy one that is dominated by them. I was looking...

Coffee stays in the coffee machine after brewing. Does not pour out.
I have a Cuisinart coffee maker. After the coffee brews, it just stays in the grinding basket with the water. Nothing comes out of the machine after the brewing completes. I have been cleaning it thoroughly so that's not the issue and there are no blockages....
Hesitating to make a move on a Philips 3200 Lattego, is it worth it ?
Hey there, first of all, I'm outside my confort zone... I'm a simple guy, young dad who doesn't have time, like almost no time lol So I need everything to be as simple as it can be. I'm also the type of guy that like to know a little of everything,...
Best 2 months after roasting WHAT?
TL;DR I may be "inexperienced" so can 2 month old beans be best? I bought a "premium" coffee box and another set of beans from an online shop yesterday. Both are Colombian. The premium is a "Passion Fruit Huila" which I guess is...
Mahlkönig/Baratza Vario motor replacement
I have a Mahlkönig Vario with a broken motor. I could get a cheap replacement motor from a Baratza Sette 270 which seem to also fit the Vario line of grinders. The motor part number would be DCT-M-006-D. Has anybody replaced the original motor of their Vario with one...
Is the OXO Brew 9 Cup Full of problems?
I'm looking to upgrade my home equipment. The Moccamester is out of my price range. I am interested in the Oxo, but it gets mixed reviews on equipment quality on Amazon. It's hard to trust Amazon reviews, so I turn to you, reddit. Thank you for your honest...
Hario Switch 02 vs 03 – does size matter?
Hi guys, I just ordered Hario Switch 03 and now I think if it was a good move. Usually, I drink coffee alone so my pour-over is about 250 ml. And my question is is that size of this brewer is ok for me or should I have buy 02? It is a big difference in taste?...
How to make a decision about a grinder upgrade with incomplete information
Hey all, I'm struggling with if I should upgrade my grinder, and if I do, what I should get. I currently have a baratza encore with the upgraded M2 burrs. I use it for areopress and pour over and my partner uses it for areopress. It makes good coffee. I love to...
Aeropress vs Clever Dripper (?)
Lately I've been using Jonathan Gagné's long steep aeropress recipe, and it's smashing. I grind 5.0 on a 1zpresso K-Plus (Fine end of medium), swirls, steep 9 min, slow press, using the Fellow Prismo, etc. It's a great recipe. You might think that...

I went to get some fresh coffee beans ground up and I had the bag in my hot car for a couple of hours and when I got back the bag was completely inflated 🙁 Is it bad now? submitted by /u/Heyhihello04 [link] [comments]
Books about coffee cultivation
There are many, many incredible books about coffee after it leaves the place of origination, but most of the books I've seen barely gloss over the cultivation process. I've seen nothing about terracing, the climate requirements, how the shrubs affect soil...
Bitter first few sips
Hey! I've been going deeper into the world of coffee and would love to learn more about consistently getting better cups. I usually brew light to medium roasts with a Hario switch and find that my first several sips are pretty bitter, not unbearable, but more...

Barcodes on Tassimo pods
Hello! I realise this is not the crowd for pod machine discussion lol (it's not for me) - but figured someone might be able to help... My partner has a Tassimo pod machine, and whilst the better thing for me to have done is probably just buy her a V60 - I...
How come my Clever Dripper drains in 20-30s regardless of grind size?
Pretty much no matter what grind setting I use on my Fellow Ode (V1.1), my Clever drains really quickly (30s max). I try to follow James Hoffman's recipe (so I'm doing water first) and he says it usually takes about 45s to 1min (45s with a high-end grinder)....
I bought some coffee and I’m not enjoying the flavours, they’re too ‘flowery’. Any tips on what I can add so I don’t waste the batch?

Any troubles getting through TSA with coffee gear in carry on?
I am flying to visit family for the holidays and I want to bring my grinder and aeropress with me. I figure the aeropress will be no problem but I’m worried that the grinder might not be allowed through TSA. Anybody have experience with bringing a coffee grinder in a...
Outdoor Event with Espresso Machine – Cold Weather
Hi all, I am catering a holiday event for 2 weeks in an outdoor event hut. The hut is not insulated and is only heated with a space heater to be used when we are in the hut only. I am taking a La Marzocco Linea Mini for espresso. Overnight the temperatures may dip...
Can Espresso have identical extraction to regular percolation brews?
Leaving aside the concentration part. Can you produce something like the title says? I've tried many Americanos, some are very impressive and close to what I find to be an ideal filter brew, but not really exactly similar. You could still tell it's Espresso...
Brewing V60-like with Clever Dripper
Hello there ! I’m new to coffee and recently got my first ever Hand Grinder. I love the way v60 tastes when made properly, but I also enjoy a good French Press. I was wondering if I could expect a V60-like result with a Clever in the “opened” position. Wouldn’t it...
Califia oatmilk is tasting off
So me and my family usually drink a lot of coffee. So we go through a lot of oatmilk. We ran out the other day and got the black and blue one (we usually buy packs of 6 from Costco) it tasted really off. It had this weird aftertaste but it steamed fine. We got coffee...
Moccamaster bitter and inconsistent coffee only when brewing full pot
Hi, So I'm using a Moccamaster to make coffee for myself but obviously its designed to brew larger batches of coffee, up to a liter. However, everytime I brew coffee >500ml I often get very harsh and bitter coffee (or even disgusting) even though the ratios...
Chemex white vs natural filters
Coffee has been tasting a bit off lately. I thought it had something to do with my technique. I'm still learning how to use the Chemex. It didn't occur to me that the paper filter might have something to do with it. Found a site where testing was done...
Careers in coffee?
Hi all! So I’ve been part of a specialty coffee company for a few months now, and I feel like it has opened an entirely new world for me with a drink that I have loved my entire life, and was curious what the long term careers are like in a field like this? Or if it’s...
