What's your coffee today? What brew method? Photos

Basic method of coffee extraction....Have a great day all.

Basic but excellent.

Just made an aeropress. Stumbled across a new recipe yesterday, really good:

Using Quarter Horse Dark Horse espresso from Birmingham, England.
  • Fine grind (near-espresso), circa 20g
  • Pre-warm aeropress
  • 80degC water (having only a boiler at work I use a little cold water first to create a cool slurry, ensuring temp hits 80 once it's all in)
  • Steep 1min
  • Press 45s

Fruity with lots of body & sweetness. Perfect.

Yep, have a great day everyone.

18g Ruta Maya organic medium roast beans, hand ground, 200g filtered water @180F, Aeropress; may go for a longer steep today than normal

Later I may get out the French Press and do something a little different.

Somebody gifted us some gingerbread-coffee.

Added a little to our Pilon espresso.

We both liked it!

Little bit of ho-ho-ho.

Started 1.7L of water in the Krups tea kettle.

Ground 20g of Community Signature Dark Roast using a Baratza Encore on setting #16.

Poured the boiling water into the Fino 1.2L goose neck pour pot.

Placed a #4 Melitta white filter into a Melitta Signature pour over brewer. And placed this over a 10 oz Community ceramic mug.

Rinsed the filter and apparatus with 150g of hot water.

Poured this water out and placed the fresh ground coffee into the pour over brewer.

When the water cooled to 203F, started the pre-infusion with 90g of water.

At 0:45 brought the water level up to the pre-infusion level.

This level was maintained throughout the brew.

Stopped the pour at 360g of water.

90% of the water had dropped by 2:30.

Pulled the brewer at 3:00

Yield: 314g of very enjoyable coffee.

This trumps some gourmet coffees.

YMMV
 
The previous cup was pretty good so thought I would try one of Community’s Private Reserve coffees.

Started 1.7L of water in the Krups tea kettle.

Ground 21g of Community Whole Bean Private Reserve Columbia Toledo Labateca Medium-Dark Roast using a Baratza Encore on setting #16.

Poured the boiling water into the Fino 1.2L goose neck pour pot.

Placed a #4 Melitta white filter into a Melitta Signature pour over brewer. And placed this over a 10 oz Community ceramic mug.

Rinsed the filter and apparatus with 150g of hot water.

Poured this water out and placed the fresh ground coffee into the pour over brewer.

When the water cooled to 203F, started the pre-infusion with 60g of water.

At 0:45 brought the water level up to the pre-infusion level.

This level was maintained throughout the brew.

Stopped the pour at 360g of water.

90% of the water had dropped by 2:45.

Pulled the brewer at 3:00

Yield: 306g of very smooth and enjoyable coffee.

IMO, this trumps their Signature Dark Roast.

YMMV
