Coffee - do you and how do you consume it?

[amicusterrae]

Quick plug for my long-time favorite mail order beans: https://www.jbccoffeeroasters.com/ (also enjoy https://www.kumacoffee.com/). Lots of ultra light roasts for a bright, tart cup! I brew press pot every morning (5 scoops of beans for 16 ounces of water) but have had happy results with an aeropress, via the inverted method and a fine mesh stainless steel filter, as well as with a pour over with a fine mesh gold-tone filter. For my tastes, paper filters out too much of the oils.

I wasn't a great fan when I owned a Vertuo. I prefer a pour over for a long coffee as it's easier to vary strength.

I need to get the caffeine into my system as fast as possible and with minimal motor pattern usage... hence the pods. I actually put the pods in the machine and pour milk into the frother at night (which goes in the fridge).

Fair point. I use the original Nespresso pods for convenience when making espresso based drinks, so I definitely know what you mean.

Coffee contains significant amounts of acrylamide, a known carcinogen. I'd avoided it in any form...

I tend to find that life itself can be fairly hazardous. Life without coffee (and alcohol) would be even more hazardous. But thanks for the advice.

You must avoid nearly everything then....I know of very little things that can't be somehow linked back to causing cancer.
The device you are using to read and post on this site can be linked back to causing cancer in some way.

Here is a report on known carcinogens...try finding stuff without at least one of these things in it.

According to the Daily Mail, coffee both causes and prevents cancer: https://kill-or-cure.herokuapp.com/a-z/c#term133

Coffee is the elixir of life! I consume regular drip made coffees, whatever random brand strikes my fancy at Whole Foods.
I am developing a strange desire to buy an Italian expresso machine for home. My fear is that my love of dirty Chai lattes plus the ready means of making them would result in my physical and moral collapse.

Is that your latte art? If so, most impressive. All I can manage is "abstract image"!!!

Thanks! That is my latte art. Coffee is one of my passions, so I've been working on that for over a decade.

Anyone like cold brew? (No I'm not talking about iced coffee or cold coffee).

Makes heat produced coffee taste like bitter/leftover acidic garbage in my mouth by comparison (Unless you drench it with sugar/cream/milk/etc..)

I use a the toddy brewing system for making cold brew in the summer for iced coffee purposes.

Tried it. Didn't care for it. Takes too long to make, and I can achieve similar levels of low bitterness/acidity by using the right beans and pulling a short espresso shot.

Big fan. I especially like how some light roasts take on rich currant flavours with it.

Can cold brew be heated if one prefers a hot beverage?

I believe this is a thing...

I now have to resist the urge to buy a goose neck kettle. I suspect that I am one gadget away from a divorce!

The induction Fellow Stagg looks great on a kitchen counter...

Also, an espresso shot (I normally use the purple Peet’s Nespresso capsules) poured over a 150mL can of Fevertree tonic is the perfect afternoon worktail.

 

[Vuki]

Drip coffee in the morning (because the machine has timer) and espresso (Vibiemme Piccolo machine). I like robust dark roasts and Lavazza Crema e Gusto (Forte) is my long time favourite.

Sure can.

My wife makes it!! She is Italian. She uses a local roast called Rise Up that is made on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I don't mess with the coffee maker myself, except to sometimes yell at it when it is out of coffee.

She makes some of the best coffee I have ever had outside of Austria. For some reason those Austrians OWN coffee making. I am told it was the Turkish influence during the Hapsburg reign, but I have no care to find out the truth.
