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

[CANES]

Morning All,

I fiddled with my iced coffee recipe and it's worse today than what it was yesterday. There's something about this coffee that doesn't work with my normal ratios and I'm trying to brew it directly in the tumbler I bring to work so I don't have an extra pitcher in the fridge. I'm messing up somewhere, so I think I'll save the little bit left for hot coffee. I figured that ratio out pretty well.

Enjoy the day!

Hotel coffee for me this morning (Hampton Inn). Looking to be a scorcher on the course today so I think I’ll get a cart instead of walking so I can haul a cooler around for the players.

The breakdown looks fairly simple , is it ? ......Can you get a true "powder " grind with this grinder ?

Yes amazing grinder think there is a Red Click accessory ( extra), made specifically for super fine grinding/ expreso
Grinder as is can go superfine but red click rec for dialing in expresso
I use mine mostly for pour overs
Cup quality taste is where nitro burrs shine over rest of hand grinders in my opinion
Owning this grinder 2 yrs now, has proven its weight in gold
C40 grinders have a cult following
Definitely recommend it
Im sure better faster options out there for expresso
Loving mine for the cups it produces

Morning gents, it's very nice out today a nice breeze and not too hot today, low 20's (celsius). Iced coffee with the Clever today, halfed the water for my brew, filled my Tims cup with ice and... it's not bad! Kinda wish that ice cubes were more intacts and not little tictacs.. but it's nice.

I read online a taste test on "ways to make iced coffee" and apprently there was a difference on how the coffee was cooled, wether brewed hot and cooled in fridge, or brewed over ice etc etc. Let me try and find it... here it is:

@Major Overk+ill He likes that Peaberry

That she did. 3 days in a row, she's picked that bag. Of course, that may be b/c it's in a red bag rather than a white one.

Making the Tanzanian peaberry in a French press today.

True fact: the French call the brewing method we call "French press" a "cafetière à piston"- literally a "piston coffee maker."

50-50 Blend of organic Ethiopian / organic decaf Sumatra hand roasted to past first crack ...... powder grind , Armenian jezve brewed , touch ofView attachment 1665569f cream and sugar .

What’s your process for Turkish? I’m not sure if I’m doing it right. It tastes good but I’m not getting the foam. Goatstory Turkish pot on the induction stove. I forgot the ratio, but cold water toss in some very fine grounds heated on medium till “boiling up” and toss in a bit of brown sugar.

bonjing , The most important thing here is getting a true " powder " grind . What grinder are you using ?.... Once you get the powder here is a nice tutorial:

............

.... One thing I do not recommend is using a metal spoon in a tin lined copper ibrik , briki , ceszve , jezve etc. , you do not want to scratch the tin ling and expose the copper . I use a wooden spoon or an old popsickle stick ...

this morning's brew...

Opened up a new decaf tonight. Amazon's Happy Belly Special Roast decaf. The reviews were up and down, but the first cup is pretty good for me- in the genre of good "diner" coffee. It's not bitter at all, hints of chocolate and really smooth. Much better than the Happy Belly Breakfast Blend I tried awhile back (super acidic) and possibly better than the Community Decaf I quite like (slightly acidic).

Thanks, I’ve used both a Niche Zero and lagom p64.

Back home for a week so today it’s an americano pulled with Happy Mug Guatemalan and a splash of half and half. Looks like some milder weather with a high around 75°. I’m going to take advantage of that and get the mowing done.

Good morning, coffee crew.

Cafe Du Monde in the french press.

It's 53° in the Shores right now with a high around 74° today. I'm going to move some things around in my shave den today to make room for some new soaps, creams and brushes.

Have a blessed day, friends.

Morning everyone,

went back to the iced coffee via the clever coffee dripper:

So again half the brew water and a cup full of ice. It's an easy measure and tastes pretty great. Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday, halfway till the weekend.

1:24 AM? ... unless that's been adjusted for TZ differences, you're damned right, it's too early! Back when I would fit pipe or travel for work, I occasionally had to be out the door by 5:00 AM or so, but up and posting at 1:24 AM? Welcome to the next level.

Good morning, coffee crew.

Cafe Du Monde in the french press.

...

Certainement, tu aimes ton Café de Monde! Tu en buves tous les matins, n'est-ce pas?

(You certainly like your Café de Monde! You drink it every morning, don't you?)

Perdon, j'ai besoin de pratiquer mon Francais. Je l'ai etudiee en la lycee, il y'a tres longtemps!

(Sorry, I need to practice my French. I studied it in high school a long time ago.)

I've got a story about that, though. Back when I was Ubering, I pulled over to pick up a particular passenger, and as she was entering the car, the driver behind me honked- as if to say "how dare you pull over and impede my journey for even a second!" As was my habit, I cursed under my breath in French. The young lady looked at me slack jawed: she was from French West Africa, and understood that I had just told him to f**k himself. So, we had a quick chat in French. During this chat, she gave me one of the greatest compliments I've ever had in my life: she asked if I was from France. Remember: this was a person whose native language was French asking me if it was also my native language!

As I always do, and do here, I attributed any skill I still have with the language to having had 2 terrific teachers in high school: M.* Lanzalotti in 9th + 10th grades, and Mme. Hartz in 11th + 12th grades.**

-Z***

* French abbreviations: M = Monsieur, Mme= Madame.

** Fun fact: since Chestnut Hill Academy was very English in it out look, it enumerated its middle and upper school grades from Form I through Form VI. So, technically, I had M. Lanzalotti in Forms III + IV, and Mme. Hartz for Forms V and VI.
