Latest IISD Coffee Report Calls for More Price Transparency

I currently use an Ode for my drip and a Lido 3 for my espresso. I have ALS though and can no longer hand grind. My Ode is acting up after daily use 1-2 times a day for 3.5 years. I’ve cleaned it regularly it’s the motor I think having issues. Making odd noises....

I’ve been fighting a slow grinding issue for a while now. It takes a long time (3-5 minutes) to grind enough coffee for a pot. The grind seems "fine" as well (the dial is set at 18). The beans seem to "bounce" up from the grinder cone a little....

Hello everyone. I'm currently looking for a well-built coffee bean grinder to purchase. To give a little more detail, I'm looking for a grinder that can do coarse (cold brew, French press) and medium (pour over Chemex) grinds well. I currently have an...

I've been looking to buy a new grinder, I have a Eureka mignon filtro but I'm not happy with how it grinds on the courser end of the spectrum. Its just a mess of huge pieces and small fines and even on some pour overs the grind isnt very good either....

I have to imagine that I'm not the only barista who has tried to give a customer a mini-lecture on the dynamics of the coffee supply chain. For those who have run into this similar question, how have you explained to people why their coffee is expensive using...

A little coffee making puzzle I was trying to figure out. If you are making a V60 pourover with a fairly light roast (pick your recipe of choice). Saddly you cannot get water at your target temperature (say 202 F). Your water will either start warmer and get colder,...

Hi all, so basically just got into specialty coffee, before this I'd only ever had instant and over roasted coffee from big chains, since I live in a country with no specialty coffee shops. My set up is, single origin guatamalan beans (freshly roasted a week...

I recently went on a rabbit trail of instant coffee concoctions on YouTube, and bought some Folgers Instant Coffee to try it out. I actually quite enjoyed some of the instant coffee lattes I've been trying, but I know Folgers is generally considered pretty low...

I recently visited a coffee plantation and bought a bag there. They sold their bags there with labels on how the bean was processed. This “Natural” processed coffee is incredible. It’s fruity. It doesn’t have that like signature “burnt” flavor coffee has. It almost...

I don't get it. I often see posts/recipes saying that light roasts need to be in the brewed in the 200F zone, but as soon as my cup is filled with water, the temperature has dropped to the low 190s range (in my case, I'm using an aeropress) So yeah, it drops...

This is a thread for the enthusiasts of /r/Coffee to connect with the industry insiders who post in this sub! Do you want to know what it's like to work in the industry? How different companies source beans? About any other aspects of running or working for a...

I work at a cafe where they are using a dark roast blend and they are pulling 32g from a 18g dose for espresso. Strangely however, they pull it in 6 seconds instead of the usual 20s-30s. I’m not sure why they don’t use the standard recipe and am too afraid to ask...

I recently acquired a Timemore Sculptor 078s, which is intended to be used primarily for espresso and supposedly doesn’t make the cleanest drip coffee according to reviewers. So out of curiosity I’ve been comparing it a lot over the past couple weeks to my gen 1 Ode...

Hey, My girlfriend mostly drink decaf and she has a favorite coffee that she gets from a reputable roaster. Problem is, she really likes it when she gets one at the cafe, but she doesnt when we brew it at home. Even I struggle to get a correct grind size (DF64 V1) and...

Has anyone tried Target's in-house brand of specialty coffee? I recently decided it was too much money to continue buying super specialty beans from roasters - I know, I feel guilty not supporting smaller local roasters and will still do it every so oftenwhen I...

Hello all. Curious if any baristas/qc folks here can provide examples of how they’ve used refractometers in their cafés? I understand their limitations, and I am comfortable using refractometry to gain reference points when testing recipes. But I’d really appreciate...

Hello, Everyone! I am in a bit of a predicament and would like some guidance. For context - I am still an amateur coffee guy. I have begun to dabble in the coffee world and am slowly building my knowledge. A few years back, I began to explore quality coffee and get...

Hi. Can anyone recommend some companies that do speciality beans. I’ve tried a fair few but I like to rotate and try something new. Here’s a few I’ve tried, some do really good coffee, some I thought were just ok: - Hasbean - Horsham - Perky Blenders - North Star -...

I'm in Amsterdam this week. Are there any coffee's I should check out while I'm here? I'm from the US so ideally something not available back home. submitted by /u/OlDirtyBrewer [link] [comments]
