I just got a cheap Brix refractometer to measure TDS. Do I need to take the reading immediately while the coffee is fresh out of the pot, or can I set a sample to the side and enjoy my coffee first? Basically, I'm not sure if evaporation will effect the reading...

Capresso Infinity vs Infinity Plus?
I think I've narrowed down to getting a Capresso Infinity of some variety - either the regular or the Plus model. Searches seem to indicate that the only differences between the Infinity and the Infinity Plus is size and capacity. The price difference seems to be...
Anyone know of a coffee database?
I just opened a bag of disappointingly underwhelming decaf from a UK roastery who usually sell great things. It was dull and empty. I don't know if it's my bag or just the way these particular beans are. This got me thinking: Is there a database anywhere...

Should coffee ever taste like buttered popcorn?
I’ve noticed many times, but not every time, my coffee tastes like buttered popcorn. Especially if it was made from a drip coffee maker. I’ve read it could be Diacetyl, a byproduct of coffee that is often described as tasting like artificial butter or buttered...
Percolator trouble

Autentica died. Advice for a new bean to cup machine
I bought a second hand Delonghi Autentica at the beginning of the pandemic. It has valiantly poured its way through a good few thousand coffees over the last few years but has finally kicked the bucket so I need to buy a new machine. I'd buy an Autentica plus (we...
Moka pot being really slow and sputtery
I am trying to enter the coffeemaking world, so recently I bought a 3 cup Tognana Stone & Wood (Cheaped out cause I didn´t feel like buying a bialletti). Everytime I try to brew coffee I do the following: Medium-fine grind size, put boiled water immediately in the...

Do you brew cold brew coffee at home?
I've been brewing cold brew at home for years now. I really like the Alto filters over anything else ive used. What are you using at home? Is there a coffee that you use consistently? I've been using guardian cold brews beans lately. Who else makes cold brew...
When a bag of coffee beans says “roasted in _____” why does it not say where the beans come from? Where do they come from?
I’m brand spankin new to drinking coffee but after taking a trip to Hawaii and doing a coffee tour I was sold! We got a bag of peaberry coffee grown at the farm we bought the bag from in Hawaii and have ground the beans and used a French press to make our morning...
Breville Barista Sour Shots…. Can’t figure this out
Hey everyone, I recently picked up a Breville Barista and have gone down the rabbit hole.... I am dosing 18g beans on the finest setting (to the point it feels like I am over extracting) with the built-in grinder. I bought some locally roasted beans from an Amish...
Coffee Mate Natural Bliss Sweet Cream Creamer changed their recipe. What’s a good replacement?
My spouse loves their coffee with creamer, but they have a sensitive stomach. The Coffee Mate Natural Bliss Sweet Cream creamer was perfect for them, but recently they changed the recipe and my spouse says it tastes awful. So, coffee (and hopefully creamer)...
Can no longer handle caffeine, how to rebuild a tolerance?
When I was younger, I drank caffeine almost daily with no problem (soda, tea, coffee, etc). I don’t think it ever gave me a “boost” the way everyone describes, but I enjoyed the taste. A few years ago, I developed a sensitivity and even decaf makes me lightheaded....
Light roast has a pronounced smoky quality?
I bought an Ethiopian natural from a small specialty roaster which looks to be quite lightly roasted. However, it has a strong smoky smell that I'd usually expect from dark, oily beans. I brewed 12:200 with a V60 at 93c and in the cup, there's a toasty...
Pouring aggressively has improved the taste of my V60.
All of my brews until today I was using the Hoffman technique, not sure why, I just followed it and didn’t mind checking other techniques. Well today I tried one from Matt Winton, which had a way more aggressive pouring (I’m assuming this was the biggest change), and...
Making "fast cold brew" with a magnetic stir bar
Howdy! I've been experimenting with making cold brew in as little as 90 minutes with my magnetic stir plate and room-temperature water. It's nice for days when you need that afternoon cup. My current recipe is pour-over sized grounds (about 20:1 ratio)...
Help me understand extraction with steep time
A roaster has recommended a 1 minute steep in the Aeropress to get the best flavours out of a medium-dark bean. This is on a fine grind with a 1:16 ratio. I have never steeped for under 2.30. So, why is 1 minute being suggested? Will this bring out certain flavours...
Moccamaster
I’m thinking of buying a Moccamaster. Most recommend getting a thermal caraf model. Besides maybe agitating the brew basket with a spoon I don’t plan on doing anything more than weighing the water and coffee and turning it on. I would like to be able to brew half...

Help the ignorant: need a home latte machine for my wife
So, a full disclosure: I do not like or drink coffee, myself. Never been able to enjoy the taste. So I don't know anything about it, anything more than "load the ground beans onto the filter into the top of the coffee maker, add water to the reservoir, hit...
