Bought some new beans, and a V60 recently! Been tinkering with the grinds and brew times, been splendid so far!
If you ever get tired of spinning the grind by hand, I attached a power drill to it. I pull the trigger and count to 30 and I have just enough for a single serving.
There's a new itch scratcher in town. I tried Trader Joe's canned coffee when I was in a pinch doing groceries one day. I was NOT a fan. It tastes like aluminum. Then, like magic, an amber glass bottle appeared next to it a few weeks later: To those that have a TJ available to them this is a banger for $2USD!!
Good thing I found thus thread; I've started dabbling in coffee ever since my family bought a new coffee machine. I've been experimenting with different coffee grounds as well as different methods of brewing. So far, I've tried local Philippine Coffee (Batangas Barako, Cordillera Arabica) and stuff from abroad like grounds from Tanzania and Colombia. I've also tried the Pour over and drip methods of brewing. Any suggestions on how to better appreciate coffee? Thanks guys!
Buy whole beans and grind them yourself is the best startup tip. After you have specific brew methods, your need a scale to get the to some experimentations on the water:coffee properties of different coffee. Taste is subjective, so have fun with it! P.s. scale can also be used to weigh damas
I bought a hand turn coffee grinder because I thought it looked cool. (It does). 6 months later I have popeye forearms but never enough coffee for tomorrow. Time to hunker down and get an electric grinder. Any reccs?
I connected a drill to my hand grinder. It’s the bomb! What brew method do you find yourself using the most?
Reviving this thread! Got my hands on a few goodies for my coffee making journey. Dug out my family's old French Press and Coffee Grinder, and I also bought myself an Aeropress (my favorite way of making coffee rn).
Hey y’all! Looking to purchase a La Pavoni. Has anyone ever used one? If so are they decent? And also, I’ve seen some people modify the 51mm portfaliter to be bottomless, is this practical?
