Coffee snobs , where you at?

[iceman440]

My equipment

Keurig k550 - I prefer these as my to go to coffee pods. The bean is actually from Hawaii , I think it makes a decent cup for a Keurig



French Press. I use this on my days off when I have more time to enjoy brewing and drinking. Easy process, take more time tho. I have purchased these beans in the past and love it




I do plan on purchasing a siphon/vacuum brewing method.


So let’s here it from some of the coffee aficionados. Throw up some equipment, brewers, beans

Oldschool French Press.

There's a combo single serve / carafe on the counter as well. Use it more often for heating water quick for pasta / soup. Use reusable filters instead of K-cups if I do brew in it though.

All my coffee is locally roasted, about a block from my place actually. Lol.

French press tastes the best. I have a Nespresso machine which tastes fucking awesome.

I have a Bodum French Press given to me by my grandmother just before she passed. Coffee made in this tastes awesome.

Got the Keurig, and normal brewer. Love a French press with dark roast beans.

Best coffee ever was on a campfire with french press made for camping. Beans were Kicking Horse Grizzly Claw.

Maybe I hit the nail on the head with French press lol.

Locally sourced beans would be awesome.

Anyone ever try the siphon presses?

Also, let’s get some bean recommendations going here guys. Post a pic with what you like.

I've never had better coffee at home than the french press. What's a siphon press?

Basically you add water into the bottom section and get it to a small boil. Then the water boils up into the top canister and you turn the heat down, add coffee and Stir


When you kill the heat it pulls a vacuum and draws the coffee down. It’s said to make a cup superior to a French press

I usually just drink it lol

Keurig either don Pablo or McDonald’s kcups. Dunkin doughnuts has the best period

LOVE coffee! As a student it is stable food, especially when cutting. I have employed a Dolce Gusto machine and a Nespresso and use refill pods as well as their pods.

Perfect. Still looking for some bean recommendations! I would like to see a cheaper every day coffee that you can pick up at any Walmart, and maybe a fancy once a week bean

Is everyone grinding themselves? Manual grinder or electric?

I usually buy my coffee pre-ground but when I buy whole bean I use my electric grinder.

Guess I am a simple guy..
Cafe Bustelo k cups is as good as it gets for me

 

[iceman440]

When I had a keurig Vue, the original donut shop coffee was perfect. Drank it black, and it was refreshing

Switched machines and now it taste like shit lol

I like Kimera, it's a Nootropic coffee, especially dark roast, but that is more for effect. No idea what coffees you guys have in the States. I use an electric grinder.

 

[Cookieman]

Community Coffee and PJ's coffee, both from New Orleans..accept no substitute..lol..I may be biased because I'm from that area. I travel a lot for work, so I've had coffee from various places..Those 2 are still my favorites

Kicking Horse Grizzly Claw is my every day coffee.
I grind my own. Electric grinder. I do however drop the ball and only use a regular percolator. I should snob it up a bit and get fancy.
Btw, Kicking Horse is a certified fair trade and organic company out of BC.
