Let's Talk Coffee! !

I just love the powder coffee creamer.
sweeter and less bitter than with actual milk.
Doesn’t cool down your coffee either, like milk does.
O, and 2 lumps of refined sugar please.
Yes, the white sugar, not the hippy sugar with molasses… :smiley:

I like mine black, no sugar. I brew mine in a Farberware percolator, medium strength. I keep plenty of coffee in stock right now because the price is supposed to skyrocket this summer. BTW, I do not drink decaf!

One expresso a day after the lunch, nothing added (no sugar).

I have a machine that grinds the beans before each coffee, not the best coffee one can get but good enough.

I change the beans origin often, i like new tastes, but i try to stay with organic beans.

I buy green coffee beans, roast them and brew coffee in a Technivorm coffee maker. I drink it black and hot.

The beans are Tres Rios beans from the La Menta plantation in Costa Rica.

I roast my beans in a Hottop roaster or with a heat gun (paint remover) and a wooden spoon in a stainless steel bowl.

Atm: Kenya Peaberry roasted on my 2kg Massol.
Industrial 2min-roasts suck. :wink:


(find the flashlights)

Preparation: italian espresso machine, automated machine, percolator, syphon, french press, mocha maker… just a matter of mood.

No “additives”, just coffee. black.

Cheers from Germany!

Sounds good !
Our La Pavoni has been through a few kilos of DiBella Serafini.
Love the chocolatey after taste. Still a favourite.

Currently trying Allpress beans.
Usually have a double ristretto piccolo latte.

Wow, some of you guys really take your coffee seriously. I'm just your normal coffee drinker who likes a couple a good mugs a day. You guys are in a different league

Wow.
Come live next to me !
Is that a 504 on the window ledge ?

I was given a barista course as a birthday present a couple of years ago.
Great gift.

I had to google "barista course" lol!! very nice gift!

Yes… And a Yezl Z1. :slight_smile:

I would like a course like that, for my girlfriend that is.. :innocent:

Geebuss! Where did you get that tissue grinder Lux?

I’ll say that some folks attitude towards coffee is the same as some futbol fans attitude…. “it’s NOT just a game! or a beveridge in this case.”

less coffee more creamer :bigsmile:

I've taken heat for loving my percolator...someone called it a coffee soup maker in an earlier thread. I really don't care ...I like the fact I can get different tastes out of it .3 days later the thick black coffee can be sliced with a knife ..Reminds me of drinking little black coffees' in Miami Fla.

lots of carmel vanilla creamer and splenda

Coasta Rican coffee please !

This is how I like my coffee…

I is black and I is back!!!

I’ve been putting a course grind in a plunger with cold water, coffee to water at about 1:10 or a bit stronger. Put it in the fridge for about 12 hours and plunge.

Comes out with a very smooth coffee taste with no acidity but still has kick. Straight up over ice and it’s perfect.

I like any dark roast … trader joes extra bold is good… i make it strong and with a small amount of half and half and a pinch of sugar

I drink 2-5 cups everyday usually

i love coffee

The 'fancy' methods/machines may be better, I don't know, never tried any. But after having learned how to make coffee without using a filter, I can no longer stand coffee that comes out of a conventional filter machine. I believe it's called 'cowboy coffee' or 'campfire coffee'? Boil water, remove from heat, add coffee grounds, wait, then remove the grounds by pouring from one cup to another back and forth until most of the grounds are gone. Contrary to conventional American wisdom, consuming small amounts of coffee grounds is not fatal.

I'm extremely sensitive to bitter tastes, and for some unknown reason coffee done this way is about a thousand times less bitter and requires tons less sugar.

newbie to all things bright, I occasionally ride mountain bike at night so doing some research,
been using friend’s bike light (cheap clone w/ external battery pack).

finally a topic that I’m somewhat conversant in… :slight_smile:

another home roaster here and I primarily drink espresso or cappucino with the occasional
pourover.

If you enjoy a cup, the only thing I’d add is that you should try buying freshly roasted coffee,
locally if possible. If not avail, there are plenty you can mail order from for incredibly cheap;
5 lbs shipped for ~$50. Either split the order w/ friends or freeze them in jar to prolong freshness.

One such vendor (hoping it’s ok to post):

or order from LuxorN :slight_smile:
