I might be the only male Kim on B&B... though it was a popular male name back in the early 1095s.
What's your coffee today? What brew method? Photos

New roaster day, larger batch volume should allow me to enjoy my home made coffee a few more days per week.
Really looking forward to some post work cortados in my future, maybe even some pre work espresso on days when I'm feeling energetic.

Don't feel bad. I tried the 50/500 the other day. No way would I drink that everyday.Several coffee "experts" online suggested 60 grams of coffee to 500 grams of filtered water. That has to be Very strong coffee. I use 40 grams to around 950 grams of water....way, Way less than they recommend. It's perfect for me. I guess I don't drink strong coffee.
Good afternoon ,, good cup from moccomaster but i can tell machine needs to be decaled,,
One huge plus hand grinders, easy clean
While i am not boasting on c40, the grind output, on the nitro burrs produces an outstanding cup of coffee,,, not experience the addition of Red Click, for expresso, usage but hear with added red click excellent expresso as well,,
Been looking maybe in future for electric grinder ,,
Ok just thinking out loud,,
Cheers all

I hope it helps and is to your liking......I have not, thanks!
That is very strong. I always use 30 g coffee to 500 g water as a starting point.Several coffee "experts" online suggested 60 grams of coffee to 500 grams of filtered water.

I hate the James Hoffman French Press method. He changed the way it brews because he doesn't like that brew method, and the internet spread the word of their coffee prophet. He's legitimately a coffee expert, but I abhor that his method became "THE" French Press method.
Rant done.
I also took that foam scoop step from his method. That's a pretty great move. I still brew for about 4 minutes, scoop at 3:20 or so, press when done scooping.
60g coffee to 500g water is wayyyyyyy too much coffee, who the heck recommends that?! Probably people selling coffee...
This is more like what I see everywhere. It's very often recommended 1:15 or 1:16 coffee to water. 30g coffee to 500g water is close enough and round enough numbers that you don't really have to think about ratios.
Good morning, coffee crew.
Mad Priest DNOTS in the french press.
It's 36° in Music City right now with a high around 67° today. It looks like we have some rain moving in after midnight. I'm seeing lows back down in the 20s on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Bring your plants in.
I'll be home all day catching up on projects, emails and poking around on B & B. I'll get a shave in later after I hit the workout facility.
Have a blessed day, my friends.

Good morning fellas
This morning is some Bali Blue done in the Bunn. Still feel a bit under the weather but at least I’m upright.

I had coffee with an old friend this morning, Trader Joe's whole bean 'Joe'. I haven't had it in more than several years, but found myself at Trader Joe's this weekend and thought I'd pick up a can. A medium roast of an unspecified blend of Arabica beans in a 14oz can for $4.99 ($5.70/lb).
A quick trip through the Mr. Coffee burr grinder last night, brewed up nice and hot at 03:30 this morning in the trusty Presto percolator provided a rich, satisfying, dare I say "honest" cup of coffee or two to start the day.

Indeed I do.
Morning guys,
Got a serious cold today. Still have to go into work. Just woke up. Ugh.
Chock Full O Nuts in the French Press. 3 min steep today. Seemed to get it more to my liking with the shorter steep. Thanks Aaron or Kim or whoever recommended that recently.

Hope you feel better soon.
My old Bunn Phase Brew is a workhorse this morning. Made up a batch of Happy Mug Rainy Day Blend to see my wife off to work and then some Eight O’clock Original to enjoy with my son when he woke up. Should have some parts for my old gas furnace as well as a vaunted Gillette Regus (gotta love eBay listings from people who don’t know better) so I have plenty to keep me busy today.
Twin americanos for two on a clear sunny morning.
Greek coffee
Good morning, coffee aficionados.
I repeated what I did yesterday... and waited the extra 5 minutes while I emptied and put away the dishes from the dishwasher. So a total of 9 minutes for the French Press.. Gentle pressing until the grounds touch the bottom of the Bodum French Press.
I did time the manual coffee grinding.... two fills of the KINGrinder K-1 along with the grinding took 3 minutes.
I also scooped off the foam right around the 4 minute mark.
All in all, I think this optimized the taste for me. I'm still using 185F filtered water. Lovely taste.
I have a hair cut at 1:30PM... I'll row when I get home... then shave. Should be a nice day. We're headed up to 72F today... 80F tomorrow... then cooling back into the 60s for daytime temperatures until the middle of next week.
