Coffee - Your Current Brew

[john_pifer]

So I’ve upped my coffee game a lot more and bought myself a 1Zepresso JX Pro S. The Hario was a good intro to grinding but it isn’t consistent. The JX has a much more consistent grind and it’s faster and easier. I’m also amazed how grind affects the taste. I’m experimenting now.

Is that a manual grinder?

I’ve heard you get the most for your $$$ with regard to absolute best and most consistent grind quality with a hand grinder.

Recently I decided to up my coffee game from the cheap Mr. Coffee burr grinder I was using.

Did a lot of research, and had several people recommend a hand grinder like the ones made by 1Zpresso. In the end I decided I don’t want to hand-grind at 3:30 am when I get up for work.

Ended up with a Fellow Ode that I got on Amazon for half price.

Brewed twice with it so far. Tomorrow I’m off work so I’m going to do some pour-overs!

I stopped at a couple of indy coffeehouses in nashville on way home from work this week and picked up 2 different bags of beans.

I'm retired and there's no way I'm hand grinding for a full pot of drip every AM. You made a good choice.

Yeah, I leave for work between 0400-0430. I’m not hand-grinding that early!

Yah I know what you mean I'm retired but I have an electric grinder it takes all of ten seconds. Love my fresh ground Columbian Supremo!

Me too. Loving the Peets Major Dickasons that was on sale at Costco. The Colombian Supremo is an excellent buy. Its that or the Peets.

For some reason I like sweetened over extracted dilute coffee
14 grams of Encore 0 ground Sumatran in 360 ML through the DCC3200 and I'm good.

Waiting for the review.

Still our favorite traditional type coffee. Wife and I love it, one family member thinks we are nuts as they are used to very mild brewed coffee like Maxwell House.

Being from Louisiana , I was raised on Dark Roast Community brand coffee . Family owned since 1919 . I'll drink whatever somebody sets in front of me but if I'm spending my money it'll be Community . I won't criticize anyone else's choice , I just know what I like .

Wish they made it more widely available in whole bean. I never see it in whole bean.

Sumatra flavors all over the map.

Did it taste and act fresh?

Not really. It had a use by date, not a roasted on date.
I'll mix it in with some Peets and get through it.

I don’t normally go for dark roast, but I was in Walmart the other day and i Noticed that the Peet’s Coffee Major Dickasons Blend actually had a roasted-on date.

That’s the first time I’ve seen a grocery store coffee that actually had the date it was roasted and not a “best by” date.

Sign that the coffee industry is starting to recognize that consumers are getting more educated about coffee, and demanding a fresher, more interesting product?

Something similar happened to the pizza business starting, oh, I dunno, 25 years ago or so, and you started to see more and more independent, non-chain pizza parlors open up, and the big chains (Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa John’s, etc) started losing more and more business to them. Pretty much, nowadays, nobody I know orders from the big pizza chains anymore. If you do see it, it’s at work, when somebody just wants to buy a large quantity of edible pizza for everyone.

Anyway, I made some cold brew with the Peet’s. I don’t drink cold brew that much, but the wife will like it.

Might see how it does out of the French press.

Peet's Kenya Kilele: I'd just about given up on Peet's having received some mediocre beans with my previous two or three purchases. However, a friend suggested I try this and, while still a notch below my favorite Kentan coffee, it was still quite good and satisfying. While it's described as a dark roast, it's on the lighter side, and that was a nice discovery. The blend is not fruity or aromatic as some past Kenyans had been, and that's a big plus for me ... I don't care much for fruity coffee.

Starbucks (medium roast) House Blend will open your eyes. Major reason I buy / drink it.
It's smooth and not thick.
