I’m newly finicky about my coffee thanks to some great birthday presents. I am using bottled distilled water and Third Wave Water sticks in Berlin, Germany (the water is quite hard here). The bottles aren’t on a deposit system (although they can be recycled), so this...

12oz bags with only 10oz of beans — Anyone else noticing this trend?
I'm in the SF Bay Area, specifically the East Bay, and I'm noticing some roasters are selling bags that say 12oz on them, but only contain 10oz of beans. I've verified this with bags from Catahoula and Counter Culture. I bought the Catahoula bags...
How to get into coffee that isn’t just pure sugary drinks?
I don’t like any drinks with caffeine unless they’re full of sugar, but I’m so tired all the time and I really want to like “purer” coffee for the caffeine without inevitable sugar crashes like you get from tasty Starbucks drinks. I love mochas and frappes, but I...
Electric Kettle: Stagg EKG-look-a-like
Looking for a BIFL electric kettle for a while. I know Stagg EKG is the top of the line, but I stumbled upon this brand, InTasting (see link below) It looks exactly like the Stagg EKG in appearance and function. Does anyone have experience with it or...
Can water prevent ground coffee from going stale?
So I had this thought in another thread and I was wondering if anyone else had an opinion: Could you store ground coffee in a slurry to prevent it from going stale/oxidising? Imagine you grind 20 grams of coffee to brew 48 hours later. Usually it would lose quite a...
I’m having an issue brewing a specific coffee which I didn’t have problems with in the past. Curious of everyones take on what happened? Problem with this roast? User error? Something else?
So to begin with I'm just curious of anyones take on what happened here. So feel free to drop a comment/suggestion of what you think is the cause or issue? I'm adding photos as well. One is of the same coffee but different roast dates, with the left coffee...
Can I use Vietnamese coffee as a substitute for espresso?
I do not own an espresso machine, thus I am wondering if making for example cappuccino with Vietnamese coffee is viable? Or will it taste not so good compared to espresso-based coffee? submitted by /u/Shrimp_eater7 [link] [comments]
Flight of drip coffee?
There's a new local coffee shop opening near me. I was intrigued when they said they offer a flight of coffees, but on the menu it specifies that it's drip Would that still be okay? Would that negatively impact the flavor having it be drip coffee? I've...
Am I being taken advantage of? (Roaster)
So I work at a specialty coffee shop in Georgia as the main roaster, I.e. 5 days a week, plus I have started sourcing our green coffee. I have SCA training to an intermediate level and do a ton of research at home. I currently make $12 an hour plus tips, which roughly...

Onyx now charging for “Employee Benefits”
Just put in an order for some coffee and noticed there was a 2.5% tax added as “Employee Benefits” you cannot remove. Charge more if you have to. I like that a business takes care of their employees but putting that charge on is BS. https://imgur.com/a/AhjpE88 ...

The best coffee I ever had is unreachable.
Last week I got some Brazilian coffee from a popular roaster in my city. I told the guy to grind it fine for Turkish coffee I immediately made Turkish coffee as soon as I arrive home And WOW!! It was the best hip cup of coffee I ever had. Unfortunately, the next day,...
i have never once gotten a thick, syrupy shot from my Sage touch pro. Any tips?
To preface, calibration is always a nightmare anyway. So many coffees don't fit into the 1:2 ratio and even those that do, they've never come out thick and golden for me. I feel like I'm missing something. I have the integrated grinder turned one step...
Freeze Drying Brewed Coffee
Greetings fellow coffee nerds! I've recently picked up a freeze Drying appliance and learned that it is possible to freeze dry coffee into a powder. I figured it would be fun to try, since a close friend of mine roasts his own beans. I want to create a...
Do all decaf beans grind with a ton of fines?
I’ve had months of trouble grinding decaf beans for my v60 and kalita wave brewing. I have baratza virtuoso with new burrs that was recently serviced by baratza. Regular beans grind well. But every brand of decaf I’ve tried to grind creates too many fines and clogs my...

Anyone using a Kingrinder (K6/K4) with the Brikka (Induction)?
I recently got my Kingrinder K6 and updated my Brikka to the 4 cup induction version and I was wondering if anyone else uses this or a similar setup? I've been doing a lot of reading and found that recommendations are very different from the regular moka pot and...
Can vacuum containers keep coffee grounds fresh for a day?
I know coffee loses its flavour quickly after grinding it, but can its taste be preserved if kept in a vacuum container? (e.g., a Fellow Atmos). The idea would be to grind 3-5 portions in the morning and use them over the course of the day, thus avoiding the need to...
Why does some coffee not suit certain brewing methods?
I've done some cursory searching for an answer to this question, but haven't found anything really. You see a lot on bags of coffee, particularly from specialty places, that certain coffees are suited to certain methods. I had a bag that was recommended for...
Flat White – Varience in sizes?
Does anyone else find flat whites are so hit or miss on the size of them? My favourite coffee shops are small indipendant shops, these always deliver a flat white as you would expect. A small sized milky drink with a nice strong flavour. Other coffee shops either...

Are there any automated french presses?
Hey guys, Very curious to know if anyone has invented a more automated french press style brewing system. It doesn't have to be a french press per say, but some type of immersion style brewing system that does more of the work for you (can be just some of the...
