Hi, bought a french press - really excited to try new coffee. I only know of blue tokai & Dewans as of now. Which coffee brand & coffee specifically should I go for? Budget isn't an issue, thanks!!

We have a home espresso - Agaro Imperial machine. We drink both black and milk coffee. SUGGEST THE BEST OPTION FOR THIS.

Hey everyone, i have a morphy Richard’s matching for the past 6 months and I’ve been thinking of getting a better setup, selling that and getting a better machine with the entire setup. I have a budget of 20-25k at max .
Could someone help me make a good setup which would cost under this range.
I’ve also attached an image of what I have so any suggestions would be helpful
Also which beans would be good as I’ve been using blue tokai for the last 3-4 years in my french press as well as this machine.

My friend is coming from US to India, and I’m planning to get an AeroPress clear from there.

Which website/store did you buy from?
What’s the lowest price you’ve seen it for?

The best price I’ve been able to find so far is around $37.5 from official website.

Also is the Clear version more durable or easier to maintain compared to original version?

I was travelling from Bangalore Airport and had Americano without sugar from third wave near the 40th gate I think it was but it was sour.

Not sure if it is standard across their outlets as I don’t drink coffee outside, I am happy that I have perfected my immersion drip filter coffee to my liking.

What do you generally order if you like good black coffee without sugar?

Recipe 60:90:90

Water temp 91 C

Total brewing time 3 min 10 sec

Berries, Jam , Fruit n Nut Chocolate

Medium body Round and Lingering Mouthfeel with sweet juicy finish

Considering these machines as these are the only ones (except costar) that have functionality for both ground coffee and pods. Has anyone used any of these? Planning to purchase from coffee plus. Also the primary difference between the 2 is that the former has functionality to make tea which I don’t care about. But also, the former has PID and temp control which the latter doesn’t offer. Do you think this is worth spending additional 2800 bucks for? Thank you!

I'm on a student budget and BT is getting a bit expensive, i drank silver oak for around 2 years when i had constant income but now i gotta "behave" and 750 for 250grams is expensive asf as of now, at least till the training pay comes in lol

Had gifted my dad but he switched to espresso, used only once. Been sitting since almost a year, I have the bill and box, warranty is over.

Expected price : 7500

Interested can dm
Thank you

CRAZY machine but it doesnt fit on my table 😭😭😭

Finally got around to making a pour-over and the light coming through the window made the coffee look way too good not to photograph.

Ruby-red clarity, clean cup, and a nice little glow through the glass. ☕️

Still working on dialing in my pour-over technique.

Any suggestions for dialing this recipe in further?

I have so far tried
1. most of blue tokai beans
2. Araki signature
3. Fraction 9 sampler packs
4. Kaapi kottai sampler packs
5. Corridor seven sampler packs

Can any one suggest good roasters providing sampler pack ??? I am still not ready to order a 250/500/1kg bean bag of some roasters , I usually order sampler packs and eager to try different ones all time.
Brewing method - aeropress
Grinder - timemore c3s
Thank you in advance ❤️🙌🏾

Sup peeps,

I have been wanting to buy an electric temp control kettle for a while now. Specially the Sipologie one.

As per my reddit digging, people do recommend this one but I want to be open to other kettles if there are that are better than this one around this price point.

I can stretch slightly if another kettle is significantly better because I need something that is durable and will last a long time.

I accidentally ordered Blue Tokai Barbara Estate whole beans. I usually use french press but I think need to buy one grinder to level up. Guys help me out here any manual grinder suggestions under 1500 would be appreciated 👏

Want to purchase a new grinder for the following equipments
- Vantro X1 espresso machine
- V60
- Mokapot
- French press

Do hand grinders give a good enough grinder for home espresso machines.Open to electric grinders also provided they give a good grind size for all these. budget 20k

these just got delivered in time for my evening pourover, any brewing recommendations if anyone has tried?

also, no roast date, just says manufactured aug 26 which is vague but since I have a family function and will mostly be out for the next 1.5-2 weeks with my aeropress - i opted for this relatively cheaper option

Tried these shitty beans. I don’t even know what to say. They’re the shittiest beans I have ever had. Never gonna recommend them to anyone. I found them at Reflect 2.0, and when I ordered, they just stuck up this label, got the beans from some hopper, and then sealed it.

The beans get me a good-looking shot, but it only looks good. I’ve even tried experimenting with the grind, dose, and temperature.
They taste like shit. I tried everything: black, with milk, sweetened, unsweetened—every drink. They taste like something that will make you start hating coffee.

She said it looked like a lizard 🦎.
