No one in my family drinks coffee except me. I suppose that's not as harsh a statement as I make it sound since my kids are both under 15 but...my wife won't touch it either. Looking back through my early years of coffee, I would have been about 25 and...

Is sifting coffee before each brew practical?
I just got a coffee sifter off Amazon and measured 20 grams of a natural processed coffee from Uganda. I was at 18 clicks on Timemore C2 max and after shaking 2 minutes in the sifter, I was left with 17.3 grams of coffee and 2.7 grams of fines that made it through the...
Any ‘rules of thumb’ for grind sizes of beans of different origins or flavor profiles (pour over)?
For example, I've learned overtime (and learned from this sub) to by default, grind coarser for Ethiopian beans, since they tend to be finer and over extracted the pour-over. Is there a particular 'rule of thumb' for other beans or flavor profiles? For...
Do you use less beans with Robusta compared to Arabica?
I was just gifted a small bag of Brazilian coffee beans (unlabeled) and they were extremely fresh. The combination of the bloom size, the smell, and the taste indicated a dead giveaway for Robusta. I'm aware that Robusta has more caffeine (some sources say about...
Where does water temperature come into play?
Gf just got me a new Stagg EKG! Super stoked. I've never measured water temperature before because I've only gotten light to medium roasts that can brew at boiling. And I have only changed grind size, brew time, or (as a last resort) brew ratio. Where does...
"Super" deep cleaning espresso grinder
Any tips on how I should super deep clean my grinder? I had a small flat burr grinder laying around uncleaned for more than a year and just had dissassembled for an inspection. It was very moldy inside so I vacuumed and cleaned the burrs with a toothpick. Seasoned the...
My sister chose the Mr. Coffee burr grinder…
Does anybody have any real tips on how to clean this thing? When I googled this subject, it says use a soft brush to like brush it off but the thing is I can't find anything like that at the store.... Does anybody think an unused toothbrush will do just as well?...

Dialing In – too coarse at finest setting
I just bought my first espresso machine - and to set expectations, I'm working with the Bambino Plus and a Baratza Encore and I plan to drink lattes. Despite taking the Encore all the way down to grind level 1 the brew still seems under extracted. It came out too...
Descaling a Commercial Super-Auto
I've got a Schaerer Verismo 701 (effectively the same as an Ambiente 15) that I recovered from a liquidation sale. While the machine works fairly well and has only needed a few small items to get up and running, I've got a hunch that there's some...

Lifelong tea drinker here. Having trouble making coffee that doesn’t taste “burned”

What’s wrong with my milk steaming/pour?
Hey all! I've been trying to perfect my milk steaming and pouring techniques — whenever I pour it starts out really well, but then it ends up being a bit blobby right at the end so my patterns aren't working well. Does this mean I've let it expand too...
Vintage Italian Milk Steamer and ???

Rinsing moka pot under cold water
For months I have been using my Bialetti moka pot every day and I love it! Everything about it just makes sense and it makes a really good cup of coffee. I saw James Hoffmann rinse the pot under cold water to stop the brewing process and I wanted to give it a try. I...
Waiting for replacement burr holder for Encore. Is it okay if I keep using it until it’s delivered?
I know that the grind quality will be poor until I put the replacement in, but I’ve been living with it for who knows how long until I learned to check for this. Using a clever dripped which is quite forgiving and handles coarse grinds well, which is what I’m stuck...
I finally made a good cup of coffee!
I'm a complete coffee noob, but I've been playing around with making my own for the last month or two using a V60. And it's all been terrible! Until today! I finally bought a grinder and a gooseneck kettle, and it made a world of difference. It's a...
How did people make coffee before coffee machines?
How did people make coffee before coffee machines? I live in South Dakota cowboy country. One of the best cups of black coffee I ever drank was made on the stove top in an old steel coffee pot. They started with a fresh pot by dumping grounds in hot water, with heat...

Gaggia Classic shots undrinkable
I recently thought I'd take the plunge into the world of espresso and buy the Gaggia Classic Pro as the unit has a good heritage, is well built and has a 58mm portafilter. I have a Baratza Encore which I use just for drip coffee, and I'm not attempting to...
