Coffee

Hi everyone. Recently I've participated in a coffee tasting, which left a lot of questions... Please help me to understand what happened. First I'll describe the procedure. This tasting was organised by some non-profit organisation which usually does marketing research on food and beverages and qual...

Okay so I’m aware tds meters only measure total dissolved solids that could be anything and doesn’t tell you much, but if your using distilled or de ionised water and you added your minerals to the point you hit say 70ppm would that be your total hardness accurately measured? Same with adding buffer...

I watched this[ social teaser](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAop9aavPs9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) of NBA player Jimmy Butler's coffee setup and was curious about the actual machine. How much can it improve the taste? I get that cheap machines can ruin coffee but doesn...

I'm running low on the beans from Story Coffee and I tried Coffee and Sons before, but nie I wanna check something else. Drop your recommendation in the comments. It can be also available to buy on Konesso or Coffee desk if not straight from the roastery. 80+ points only.

I'm curious how true flavor transfer is in a shared grinder. I've processed flavored beans through my vintage manual grinder but I've not noticed, when I then proceeded to grind my non flavor, that the flavored lingers. I process single doses in this grinder or double at most. This question really...

I just got a APEC Reverse osmosis system from amazon, which includes a 6th stage calcium carbonate alkalizing mineral add-on. Do you think this set-up right out of the box will make "good" water for coffee or will I need to make adjustments? FYI previously I was buying distilled water and adding .7...

I read recently a comment in this sub that carafes let coffee set to room temp and of course they do but do they serve a purpose more specific to the flavor development? I guess my question is just that. I enjoy sipping my coffee pretty hot. I know it's subjective but it simply tastes better to me t...

Hi guys How do you adjust your recipes when using fermented/anaerobic/carbonic macerated beans? what are the general adjustments you would recommend in regards to water temperature, dose, grind size etc? Thank you so much!

New to coffee beans and done with pods. Now I have questions. Is caffeine level related to the roast, the grind, or just the beans? Is the color of the bean indicative of the roast- light medium dark? Id love to chat with anyone who can help me learn more.

Hey, coffee lovers! I’m relatively new to the whole coffee scene and wouldn’t call myself a coffee enthusiast… yet! But I’m really interested in learning more because I want to take better advantage of caffeine for energy and productivity. When I’m out in different cities, I usually rely on Google...

Coffee containers pile up at US ports during strike

So we are in the information age and also YouTube. So when youtube recommended a video about coffee I click on it and went down, deep down the rabbit hole. Learned from youtubers about the different types of coffee (Arabica / Robusta) then how to select roast how to select grind ( fine, coarse or a...

I'm trying to learn more about coffee and I'm getting hung up on the varieties. Lets say I'm dealing with an Ethiopian coffee, my understanding is there is 1000's of varieties in Ethiopia, but JARC has started to classify some of them. Lets say I take 74158, I can't find much on it. I figured tha...

So if I understand the swiss water process correctly, you make a coffee solution with coffee solubles as well as caffeine. Then you remove the caffeine with carbon filters. I'm sort of wondering why that isn't possible at home. I love coffee but realistically I can only drink 2 cups a day before g...

Hey eveyone, I'm part of a Data Analysis course and in order to finish the course I have to complete a capstone project. The scope of the project, in basic terms, is to find a dataset, analyse it and present your findings with a visualisation software. Being the coffee nerd that I am, I thought ab...

This has been a bad coffee week for me. Doing some projects on my espresso machine at home, so that’s out of commission. I only drink 1-3 coffees per day (2 99% of the time and that’s two shots of espresso) so my caffeine intake is low, but, man, am I addicted to those two coffees’ caffeine. LOL I h...

[https://weberworkshops.com/products/the-sg-1](https://weberworkshops.com/products/the-sg-1) The world of coffee never ceases to continue to surprise me.

inb4 "drink what you like, don't drink what you don't like", I agree and this isn't intended to be a discussion on people's tastes, whether co-ferments are good or bad from a taste standpoint, and definitely not intended to be gatekeeping coffee in general. It's my understanding that third wave co...

Hello everyone. One of my brother’s friends owns a cafe and coffee roasters. He said a beans bag fell from the roof and was trapped under other coffee beans bags, after around a year the trapped bag was discovered and when they tried it, they found it to be bery tasty. What are your thoughts and opi...

Hi, everyone! I am wondering if someone could provide me with a reference to actual measurements of acidity as coffee gets cold. The question is inspired by thos old post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/comments/i2zvjg/comment/g08ppan/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/comments/i2zvjg/comment/...

I’ve really enjoyed Vietnamese coffee back when we backpacked around the mountains of Vietnam but since getting into specialty coffee a few years ago I’ve been drinking what feels like everything BUT robusta. I’d be curious to know if there are any roasters in Australia that sell a decent grade robu...

Former barista here, I know a fair amount about coffee and yet still time after time I end up liking the earthy, nutty, chocolaty, flavor that comes with Robusta beans. My go to coffee for the day to day stuff is Cafe Bustelo. I love whole bean coffee from time to time but in the mornings I’m in a r...

I’ve been exploring different brewing methods and recently became curious about the idea of fermenting cold brew coffee.

Hi everyone! I’m visiting a friend in the Adams Morgan area this weekend, and I’m a big fan of specialty and novelty coffee shops, especially those that roast their own beans.

Hi all. I'm relatively new to the "coffeeverse" and am wondering if anyone has recommendations for a bean with gasoline/petrol aromas?

I’m new to coffee geekdom and the Fellow Opus is my first grinder, which I purchased a few weeks ago.

Wondering if anybody else out there with an ROK grinder has had the gears break over and over? Haven't found other posts about it, but I can't be the only one, right?

The news just came through one of the resellers: "Finding out about the availability of spare parts is now starting to get really difficult, as Baratza apparently no longer offers parts for resale through any EU supplier. The supplier, who had previously ordered these, announced that they would no ...

At my local shop, baristas make drinks, bring them to you, and clean tables. But I assume this is factored into their pay? You are also tipping on a screen, not the individual who makes/brings you your coffee. I tip if I get a specialty drink—not drip coffee—but I've considered stopping, because I f...

I’ve been wanting to get into making coffee for so long and all these different tools and terminology have me so interested.

Does anyone know what the cherry or plum character comes from? I’m not the biggest fan and would like to avoid it. I’m not sure if it’s more due to the roast or origin of the beans.

I was watching a YouTube video about the history of what Americans think of as specialty coffee, which mentions the Starbucks and Peet's story, and Trish Rothgeb's concept of the first, second and third waves of coffee. As a native Seattleite, I have been to many cafes that feature unique roasts, ...

I'm not sure this is something that can really be compared. But I'm curious... A lot of pour overs that I have had has always been more coffee forward.

I've read that coffee grounds can be used as a natural pest repellent and an odor neutralizer.

As a newbie to coffee brewing, I'm still not making consistently good batches, sometimes feeling off on the taste (the usual one is bitterness). I understand the main way people get better is by daily experimentation on a variable and comparing, but not sure I can do that given I brew and drink onl...

So I enjoy a nice cup of cold brew. I have always made coffee concentrate in a French press, store it in the fridge, and dilute it each time I would like a cup.
