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.

The salt in bad coffee trick seems to work pretty well.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 20:29 (eight years ago) link
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"

question: is coffee a self-cleansing liquid?
― 龜, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 21:28 (eight years ago) link
no; the seasoned patina optimizes and enhances the coffee flavor.

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.

xp to stevie I've had that creamer before & it *is* good; like, better than it should be? idk, v much into it thoug
― bernard snowy, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 00:23 (eight years ago) link
ya I want to try the others! The only thing I don't like is that the ratio of flavor and creaminess are locked in, like i can't make it creamier w/o making it sweeter and vice versa

I AM A MILLENNIAL AND I WANT OPTIONS
haha the lack of options is exactly why I like it! tho my preference on any given day fluctuates between black/cream/cream+sugar/sugar (in descending order of frequency), the fixed ratio of that particular creamer generally hits the spot for my "cream+sugar" preference while giving me one less thing to potentially screw up! (I prefer to pour cream and/or sugar first & then add the coffee -- saves the need for a spoon or stirrer, makes it easier to see how much I'm using, & raises the stakes a bit since I'm stuck with whatever comes out)

Coffee has oils in it that go rancid, hence I favor frequent cleaning.
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Wednesday, 2 March 2016 17:38 (eight years ago) link
always clean dirty things

not exactly related to cleaning but i've heard it said that bialettis get better with age
― flopson, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:05 (eight years ago) link
every once in a while i attack mine with steel wool for like 20 minutes to see how shiny i can get it
guys what's your preferred roast, y'all go for the lights or the mediums or the darks? or light-medium/medium-dark?
― nomar, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:08 (eight years ago) link
i buy from a third wave place thats def on the light-medium spectrum, like they dont even label them as such
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:12 (eight years ago) link
its good nice fresh beans, need to buy some more had to drink a canned cof this morn
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:13 (eight years ago) link
canned cof not the best cof
― 龜, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:25 (eight years ago) link
its not... terrible tho? i think i mentioned i bought it just to have some quick caffeine around before workouts but i dont hate it tbf, i started drinking the canned cof on long drives and i kinda grew to like it in its own way, i just love sugar too, which i dont allow myself in my cof generally
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:29 (eight years ago) link
it can be good
the japanese have some good canned cof
my exp has been with bad canned cof in mainland china though
where the cof is not readily available
and the canned cof is all like
sugary frappucino knockoffs
cant get any caff

i like medium-dark (a 'vienna' roast i think?) for blends and low priced beans
i like the whole foods big bags they're cheap and p good
back when i used to do single origin or plantation or w/e i went with city or full city roasts for maximum flavor
i think light roast coffee can be bright/sour and fatiguing after a while i have come to appreciate the darker roasts
― 龜, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:32 (eight years ago) link
if a light roast is sour that generally means its under extracted (of course sour is subjective so it cld mean anything)
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:34 (eight years ago) link
i like medium tho cause im extremely reasonable
for me it varies by region like the central/south american coffees tend to be sour but not the african ones, same extraction meth
― 龜, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:38 (eight years ago) link
huh interesting
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:39 (eight years ago) link
a lot of commercial "bold/dark" roasts just taste burnt to shit, we only go bold at home if we are familliar w the roaster (god that sounds like such hipster wank, sorry)
i prefer medium roast for my lattes tho
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:42 (eight years ago) link
my friend roasts his own beans and does a nice dark roast. that Danny Trejo coffee i got is a dark roast and it's pretty smooth.
― nomar, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:46 (eight years ago) link
the dark roast makes a smooth cof
― 龜, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:48 (eight years ago) link
might make another cof right now
― nomar, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 18:49 (eight years ago) link
I will take bitter/burnt over sour any day.
