Glass Half Full Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Enjoying a Mobtown espresso just as I came across this thread. It's a blend from Zeke's Coffee Roasters out of Baltimore. Really great coffee IMO. For pour-over or "regular" coffee, their Charm City, Bird City and French Roast are all delicious too (for those who like dark roasts). https://zekescoffee.com/collections/conventional-blends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tstew75 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I'm soooo blessed to live in Portland. I'm pretty predictable when it comes to coffee...fresh beans, burr grinder, french press. I love the texture the FP brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfT3 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I like a good pour over when I’m trying to get maximum nuance out of beans but if you like your coffee with more body (a la Turkish or French Press), pour over will never give you that. Horses for courses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford2112 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I drink 30 oz of coffee at a time. I'm sure it's plenty strong,because I get comments all the time about being high strung! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a pinch of back soda into the coffee when being brewed to cut the acidity. Works likes a charm and cannot taste it. Some times add a pod of cardamon or two. Maybe grind a pod of cardamon with the coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GVan Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Spent the weekend deciding that I wanted to give pour-over a try. Was researching a high-end expresso machine and with the supply chain difficulties, decided to go a different way and wait a while on the expresso. Love the advice above on different coffees to try and will head down that path after first perfecting my technique on some Segafredo. Segafredo whole bean dark roast, Baratza Virtuoso + grinder, Acaia Lunar scale, Stag EKG .9L kettle and a Hario V60. Everything is on its way and should be experimenting over the Thanksgiving holiday week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuralpath Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I’m mostly into espresso, been working at it for 20 years. A year ago I got the famed Slayer, and I must say it was a game changer for my ability to be consistent and to pull out the flavors that different beans/roasts offer. It’s also helped to develop an effective workflow, and the the monolith flat grinder helps as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco42 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Love a good pour over with freshly ground beans. Currently drinking a lot of dragonfly and onyx single origin coffees. Still playing around with the Kalita Wave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now using a Ratio 6, basically same process but much easier to produce a similar cup. 👍💜🏆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodigy Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 For espresso lovers, one of my favorites for some time now has been caffe lusso gran miscela carmo, and their lionshare is just as good too.

prodigy Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 What’s your set up ? Is that grinder the db something or other ? The one James Hoffman called the niche killer ?

xsquid Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I could give up cigars and booze, but I draw the line at coffee LOL. I also have the Mochamaster and a french press. Not a roaster, but whole beans ground as I need them daily. Presently using Sumatra as Celebes is hard to find. Prefer medium (city) roast. You can keep the Starbucks burned beans which they equate with flavor. I use a local roaster called Red Barn in New England, best I have had so far. I used to get Kona, but I loved the Celebes (fuller body and flavor) and it cost 50% less so hooked on that. Sad to see what happened with the disaster for Celebes a few years back. The industry is still not fully recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hoze Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 My wife is Dominican. She won’t drink anything but Bustelo or Pilon from an (electric) Moka pot. It tastes horrible black but at 5am it is all about utility for me. Two weeks ago a friend from Jamaica was in town and brought us some Jamaican coffee. We ran out of Bustelo so I threw some in the Moka pot. I already ordered an Aeropress and a grinder. I’ll probably look back at this thread a year from now and understand most of it. Thanks guys, another OCD item to add to my list! 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender.lmm Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Normally cotton cloth, not unlike cheese cloth but smaller openings. In Mexico is known as "talega", or "café de talega". In Francis Mallman episode of Chef's Table he brews coffee this way while lighting up a cigar. Still have to try itSent from my HD1910 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
