My friends got me a canister of pre-ground Café du Monde coffee with chicory. I cracked it open and already made a pretty delicious Vietnamese inspired iced coffee in the Aeropress. But now I’m wondering what to do with the rest of the grounds before they go stale....

"Cold Brew Made with an Instant Pot"
This morning my newsfeed showed me an article about ~the latest TikTok trend~ (I'm old, they were probably doing it a couple years ago) about people making cold brew coffee in their instant pot using the pressure function. I have a couple questions: Has anyone...
Breville Barista Touch at 7000 feet!
Hello r/Coffee! I recently got my wife a Barista Touch for our anniversary. I personally don't drink coffee but she loves it. Anyway, our machine seems to make a decent shot of espresso. She worked at a coffee shop during college and drinks coffee so I have to...
Single-cup good coffee at home?
Hi all, I currently have a cheap kind of shitty espresso machine and a cheap decent grinder. I only drink long blacks, never any milk. So I grind beans, push water through the espresso machine without the basket in place to get hot water, and then top up my cup with...
From 300g to 250g
I brew a brazilian cerrado using Tetsu Kasuya’s 4:6 method. 20g to 300ml. I usually just put the V60 on top of my mug so I can drink from it directly after brewing. However this morning I figured I could transfer all of the brewed coffee to another mug. But to my...
Modifying Bunn VP17 to brew hotter?
I'm liking my VP17 but I'd like to get the brew temps up. Has anyone ever installed the Bunn 03024.0005 Thermostat Assembly (the tea brewing thermostat)? or a custom PID controller? IIUC the 03024.0005 only bumps the max temp to 206 (vs the stock 205...
Tips for Dialing in Small Qty, Ultra-Premium Beans?

Can’t understand Turkish Coffee for the life of me
I've got an ibrik. I can make a decent tasting coffee with medium roast Ethiopian beans ground very finely with a Sozen hand grinder using the exact brewing method I use with pre-bought Turkish ground coffee. Yet somehow, I seem to prefer the pre-ground coffee....
Attention all aeropress paper filter reusers!

Blending/aerating an americano before pouring over ice
I used to frequent a tiny roaster/cafe in Korea where the owner/sole barista would pull an espresso shot, pour into water (normal americano), and dump it all into a blender. He’d then blend it until it was frothy and “milky” looking then pour it over a cup of ice. It...
Looking for thoughts and advice on upcoming brewing competition
So I've been out of the game for a while but my region is having a brewers competition coming up where we need to make at least 300g extraction of hot coffee. Method, grinder, is all up to competitors, but we have to use the designated competition beans and there...
Are flat burrs that different to good quality conical burrs?
I have noticed some people mentioning how flat burrs produce a different flavor profile, specially for pour-over. Mainly more "clarity" of flavors and notes. I also noticed no flat burr hand grinders exist, only electrical ones (I would presume the size and...
Interesting take on a half calf

Breville Barista Express – Grinder
Thinking of getting the Breville as an intro to an espresso machine. Any thoughts? Specifically, on the grinder. (Would anyone think the Flair 58 would be a better investment to get quality shots pulled since the price is not too far off) I have my own personal burr...

Trying to get into Pour Over Coffee what should I look out for?

What do you guys do with beans you don’t like?
I bought a bag of expensive Colombian koji fermented beans. I've tried quite a few different brewing styles but I really don't like the coffee they produce. It's rather harsh, no sweetness at all and the koji tastes of miso soup which as it turns out...
Is it common for people to use refractometers to test their coffee? Or is it an extreme niche?
I know it’s something some people do, but how valuable is it to know the TDS? Do people care? Or is taste a more valuable metric? submitted by /u/OnionFarmerBilly [link] [comments]
