The coffee fanatics thread...

Try pulling a shot with 70ml of water, then, if you want a longer drink, add 70ml of water from the kettle - does it taste better than your original 140ml all pulled directly through the coffee?

Will have to wait until tomorrow, already had at least two double espresso's today!

reiteration

for my weekend brew (last both days), I currently use -

and I make it of a friday night...

Isn't IG into that as well?

reiteration

possibly - I haven't read all this thread so don't know if it's been mentioned or not already haha...

but it's cheap - I put in 10 table spoons worth of ground coffee (but then I put in 5 in a normal cafetiere...), give it a stir and it takes over 18 hours for an idea brew...

you're supposed to add normal water to dilute it a bit - but I don't always, then pour into a cup, add milk and place in microwave until hot - and it's really smooth and strong...

My standard Aeropress brew is 24g of coffee in a 220g finished drink (topped up to 220g after brewing, probably 180g? water in the brew - I'll measure that later) so that's in cafe crema territory I think..

I'm having a slow week on the coffee, I've just started on this Guatemala La Bolsa El Buho a few minutes ago and i'll be picking up my next bag at the market tomorrow, I'm usually on my last brew by Friday lunchtime!

Flashy

My standard AeroPress brew is a scoop of coffee with water to the top plunged into a mug and topped up with a bit of water and milk.

Heathen or what?

Yeah same here but in the interests of good teamwork I thought I'd share my telemetry data.

60ml extract expresso from a double shot with my Sage.

I then add water for americano.

PACT online is good - the Fazenda Chapada is superb.

If you want to use link below - i think you get a bag for a £1 or something. Plus £3 credit on your account.

Mine is a scoop of coffee, topped up with water. Sometimes will add water for an Americano, otherwise drink it as it comes out of the aeropress so it's a bit stronger.
