The coffee thread. Come talk about your caffeine addiction.

I like my coffee to reflect my mood in the morning - dark and bitter.

Haven't used a stove-top percolator, but had an electric one until just recently so it's close enough. Made excellent, actually hot coffee. Drip coffee in general is overrated TBH...

I somehow managed to break my electric percolator after 8 years of use (RIP), replaced it with a french press as a change of pace. Surprising how good coffee you can actually brew with it. French press, like the percolator is a chore to clean, but it's tolerable amount of effort since I only brew 2 mugs each morning. I have a coffee bean grinder too, but rarely buy anything fancy.

That's funny. Since I made that post the glass dome at the top of my peculator broke and I also ended up picking up a French press.

Yep, it's time to make some coffee. Here's my coffee ritual.

I really like this logo alot. The coffee's pretty good too. It's grown by a farmer's collective in Mexico then roasted in Austin. It only comes in a dark roast but that's fine by me.

I accidentally knocked over and broke my french press many moons ago and have been using a pourover cup ever since. It's important to grind the beans pretty thoroughly because if they're too coarse it doesn't get enough seeping time on the way down.

Yep, now that's what I call a cup of coffee.

Hopefully reading this was as exciting for you as writing it was for me. Would love to see your coffee setups, Agorans

I judge a coffee shop by how their black coffee tastes. Strangely, despite my town being kinda lame and inward-facing, we have the second-best coffee I've ever tasted. I buy beans, grind them at home, and make pour-overs. Spoiled AF

kind of a basic bitch in terms of what coffee i use which is those instant coffee cases you can find anywhere in the store. i specifically use this one

i would usually use a somewhat small cooking pot to boil my water and use cinnamon sticks which makes it feel smoother and have some taste on it before i add the rest of the stuff on there. i dont usually have a lot of creamer so i usually use sugar or la lechera which is just condensed milk. i wouldn't mind brewing coffee myself one day that shit looks amazing at times.

Finally took the black(coffee)pill and have been somewhat enjoying it for the past few weeks. That is until one of my roommates did something to the machine and now my coffee tastes like it has cleaning chemicals in it... others have noticed the change in taste as well. Quite unforch.

bustello in a drip machine with salt, black. usually half a gallon to a gallon a day. on that Teddy Roosevelt (peace be upon him) grindset. i tried to quit once but missed the smile of my forefathers in the 7-11 toilet on my way to work.

What are good ways to make your coffee taste even better? I am working on perfecting my cup, my routine has been this for a while:
Buy grounds from local coffee shop, french press into mason jar, put it in the fridge for a day, add half+half and agave, drink
It's gotten pretty good but I feel like I could do much better. Thinking about maybe adding vanilla extract or cinnamon. Any advice?

I'm not particular when it comes to my coffee but my wife is, and she puts cinnamon into the grounds while brewing. Can't attest to this method myself, but you should try it and see what you think

I love my coffee, and the sentiment is shared with both my older brother and mother. We're sort of coffee snobs.

I'm a huge fan of a semi local coffee roaster: DOMA Coffee. They have some good stuff, but I don't think you can go wrong with Stumptown coffee or Herkimer either (both Seattle based).

I think I have eight different different types of coffee makers but lately I've been favoring my Chemex (I got an ottomatic for it to let me be lazy), Aeropress, and a cheap espresso machine for lazy evening drinks (ICUIRE). During the warmer months, I also make batches of cold brew coffee (Japanese style maker) for my family and my offices - the biggest hit so far uses a vanilla bean to give it a nice taste.

I drink on average 3 to 4 cups a day. I don't get any of the benefits for helping me stay awake or anything like that. My family has a pretty high chemical tolerance so I just enjoy it for the taste. My wife on the other hand... I've had to look for some pretty nice decaf brews so she can enjoy some coffee with me in the evening while still being able to sleep later that night.

I have never heard of putting cinnamon in the coffee but I'm going to try that this morning and see how it goes...thanks internet!

What's been your fave decafs?

Also wow cinnamon really ramps up coffee. Good stuff. Pumpkin spice flavoring is for chumps.

If youre pressing it then putting it in the fridge you might want to just cold brew and remove a step. Imo filtered water is better for coffee than tap so you could try that (assuming you dont).

also honey over agave

Not a fan of coffee tbh, I just drink water. Unironically too, way better and you need it to survive anyways so might as well drink it only. Also, I've noticed that if I have a few cups or bottles of water, I generally can even get rid of headaches with little to no trouble. 10/10 drink, and it's available almost everywhere too.

Hm. I wonder if you can just sprinkle some powdered cinnamon into the coffee machine.

nah bro, I drink around 3 liters of water a day and I still like my coffee in the mornings. Coffee is a treat and just because it's not necessary for survival doesn't mean that it's not something important

Tried this today, actually amazing. One of the best cups of coffee I've made in a while. Tell your wife thank you for me
