My costco stopped carrying my starbucks via and I ran out of them, so I bought some Irving Farm coffee beans AT THE FUCKING AIRPORT on the way home from a work trip which is the lamest thing ever. Anyway it wasn't that good, nothing special.

Mail ordering beans is surprisingly cost effective. Fresh roasted from Intelligentsia or similar costs less per pound than buying from Whole Foods or the local shops/roasters I've found, plus they're almost always fresher. When I get Intelligentsia, the roasted on date is usually the day before I order and they arrive two days after that via Priority Mail.

I was trying to search for this but couldn't find anything - is there any real evidence that beans roasted x days before grinding and brewing are better and that there's a rapid decline at some point?
Like with espresso everyone claims that ~4-10 days is imperative, but having access to beans that freshly roasted is new and I still see a lot of European espresso brands selling bagged beans roasted months ago or even ground espresso.

enjoying some of this. your basic dark roast, nothing exciting, but it was free.

Here's where I buy my beans:https://andersonscoffee.com/
They are quite good, fairly inexpensive, and also do mail order.

guy at a local coffee shop told me espresso beans aren't good for aeropress, that i want, what, a non-espresso roast i guess? it was busy and loud and i didn't get all the info. dammit!
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 27 February 2016 23:24 (eight years ago) link
Espresso beans are generally just a kind of blend (rather than single source or whatever) from what I understand, most shops I've looked at list multiple forms of brewing instruction for 'espresso beans' - pourover, Aeropress, etc.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Saturday, 27 February 2016 23:33 (eight years ago) link
"Espresso beans" doesn't even really mean anything. There's "espresso roast" which is basically just a dark roast. Espresso can be a blend or single origin though and pretty much anywhere from medium to dark roast.

*can be made with
basically just means that the roaster, when roasting/picking beans/sticking his nose into a freshly pulled shot while inhaling deeply and gazing into the sunset as his beard glistens, was aiming for something that tasted best when it was extracted quickly under high pressure. It'll prob taste just fine brewed in another way, but that isn't what it was blended/roasted/chosen for. No big deal, but not arbitrary either. This, of course, assumes that the roaster is someone whose palette you trust or agree with, or if you think having a palette is a real thing in the first place.
Here's an interview with a roaster if you can handle a person saying things like "espresso is such a violent thing" http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2013/02/espresso-blend-how-it-is-created-how-to-blend-espresso-coffee-beans-for-macchiato-latte-sightglass-san-francisco.html

I don't think so; it's a local roaster.

i wanna buy a dripper for work (currently using a single serving size french press) but not one that looks like a piece of laboratory equipment just like white plastic

You can get a Hario V60 in white plastic.

recommend white ceramic

ceramic is the way to go
― nomar, Monday, 29 February 2016 17:39 (eight years ago) link
I have both ceramic and plastic drippers and have never noticed much difference (other than the plastic is more convenient for travel).
― o. nate, Monday, 29 February 2016 17:42 (eight years ago) link
ceramic is just a more baller material
