Coffee

bout to make a mug

of coffee

i just got some cof at the deli

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

I have both ceramic and plastic drippers and have never noticed much difference (other than the plastic is more convenient for travel).

ceramic is just a more baller material

makes a nice *clink* when you gently place it atop your mug

tho i guess u cld argue it maintains more consistent brew temp, u cn scald it before hand and itll stay warm and so forth

which i do of course

love that cool cof ceramic clink

i personally dislike ceramic

not a fan of plastic coming anywhere near my coffee

with plastic ur always concerned about w/e leaches out of the plastic at boiling temps

tru u get stage four cancer after one week iirc

i read the sweethome article on the auto cof

programmable cof when u wake up sounds p sweet

plastic also traps old aromas in a way that glass & ceramic don't

you ever smell like a plastic travel coffee mug? it is a gross stale coffee smell. drip machines smell the same way

I wouldn't drink coffee out of a plastic travel mug, but it seems like the few minutes it comes in contact with the cone while it's brewing is not enough to impart a noticeable off flavor or aroma to the finished product. I think the problem with the mug is that you smell it while you're drinking, not that off flavors actually seep back out of the plastic into the coffee.

flavors cld def get into the cof imo better go ceramic to be safe

iirc the rancidity index of a plastic travel mug drastically decreases when used by someone who is not a disgusting savage & knows to rinse his shit out on the daily

i just ambushed you with plastic cup cancer

lol

hahaha

You know who has made great reasonably-priced coffee beans forever? Zabar's. My mom brews their coffee chemex and I always look forward to drinking it at my parents' house.

Love this thread and the different levs of cof appresh itt

natty bliss

it's actually milk, cream, and flavor, which I am kind of stoked abt bcz I have long lamented the lack of availability of like just flavored dairy creamer, get this bullshit emulsified vegetable oil tf outta my cof

UPDATE:

It's good!

i need to try that

The salt in bad coffee trick seems to work pretty well.

the salt in just about everything trick is p good in general

I've tried sprinkling salt on some ILX threads. Ineffective.

mr veg was doing the salt thing for a while but he was like, "the thing is, it's still bad coffee"

poll everyone: should i clean my hario drip pot? i haven't cleaned it in about 2 years i think

um yes

let's not be hasty

question: is coffee a self-cleansing liquid?

no; the seasoned patina optimizes and enhances the coffee flavor.

cf dirtbag style

Califa Farms cold brew concentrate is smooth and tasty if you're the kind of weirdo who doesn't water it down or add milk (like me). I've finally accepted that grocery store cold brew isn't that much more expensive than DIY.

stevie otm, that's like a well-seasoned cast iron skillet of coffeemaking

I was in a training course today yerman sez at about eleven dyis want to go get a coffee and I'll see ye back here in five mins I sideeyed and sdmdh fool you can't plunge a good cof in less than six

xp to stevie I've had that creamer before & it *is* good; like, better than it should be? idk, v much into it thoug
