Coffee

My wife and I go through about 4lbs a month using mainly Chemex and Areopress. Used to get (decent) crummy coffee at Aldi and Grocery Outlet, occasionally splurging for local roasts at the coffee shops. Still, I calculate that's about $35 or so a month on beans, Chemex filters should probably be calculated with how pricey they ...

Hi, ...

Hiya, just quickly wondering how people store their coffee? Mine is in a tin box I got second hand, cos I thought it looked nice. Any rules regarding storing grounded coffee? I don't store much at the time, it's just if I grind a little too much and what not. I'm assuming the general thumb rule for this is to store it in a ...

Finally, AeroPress made of glass and metal, came out. Its double-walled design should reduce heat loss. ...

What's your opinion about adding chicory to coffee? I know there's a few places, like Café du Monde in New Orleans that offers coffee with chicory. It's also sold as a mix in grocery stores in France. ...

Like the title asks, what’s the best way to get started?

tl;dr: I was raised without any caffeine; the first black coffee I tried nearly made me choke; my wife's espresso-milk drinks never strongly appealed to me; for a few years, if I walked into a coffee shop I wouldn't know what to order or what I liked; but now I adore pour-over and care deeply about making a good cup of coffee. ...

I've always used a cheap coffee grinder for my Moka. It created very uneven grounds but it's what I had. It finally stopped working so a relative gifted me this MAVO manual grinder. ...

How come there is no real "wacky experimentation" side of the coffee community? The only one I can identify is the "snobby" coffee community (you know the one), and the rest being mostly just a refrained version of that. ...

My default coffee making is to heat milk, add coffee and steep it for a couple of minutes before I sieve it and voila. ...

Sometimes I like to add a touch of hazelnut to my coffee. Not often enough to buy a bag of hazelnut coffee though. I found that a few drops of Hobbyland's hazelnut flavoring added a perfect amount of flavor without any sweetness. Sadly they've gone out of business and I can't find a good replacement. Anyone have a good ...

I would like some recommendations for a single serve brewer, preferably one that uses ground coffee and not pods. I had a hamilton beach 'the scoop' model at one point that I liked pretty well, but I'm open to other options if there are better one's out there. ...

I am worried that I drink too much at once. I don't drink coffee daily but typically when I do drink coffee I will have 4-6 shots of espresso. I am not asking if this is healthy per se, I'm more searching for confirmation that it isn't too uncommon lol. ...

I'm doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It's a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I'm happy. ...

Hey All, this fall I've been putting some Cinnamon in my coffee and enjoyed it so far. What other spices or combos have you tried and liked? Anyone sell specific spice blends?

I know high end grinders are probably worth it for espresso, but for pour-over coffee does it make that much difference? I use a Capresso Infinity at either fine coarse or medium coarse and that's about it. Visibly the grind size does look a bit variable to me. Since I'm already in conical bur territory here, are higher end ...

I like, red grape, and Carmel.

I mostly do drip coffee (shh, I'm basic), but I'd like a more consistent, fresh brew, and potentially something that could do an espresso grind, as well. ...

With global warming (and other factors) affecting coffee production and prices, I’ve noticed a couple of interesting patterns in marketing strategies for household and white label brands. ...

Been successfully roasting green beans at home for a few years now. Just discovered my first problem - no first crack! ...

Always thought I wouldn't like it and didn't see the point. ...
