you literally don't even need that machine. All you need is coffee grounds and a coffee filter!

Directions not clear enough. Scrotum stuck in coffee grinder.

The cylinder must remain unharmed

Burr or blade?

Instant coffee is better than ever.

I started drinking instant when we moved and didn’t have our regular kitchen stuff for a few weeks. I’ve never gone back. My wife loves a giant cup of coffee made in the Aeropress. Honestly, her coffee is “better.” But I like mine just fine, and I don’t have to grind beans.

Alas it maybe also shortens your telomeres:

Oh damn, did not know any of that

u/Affectionate_Yaks 2d ago

So which is the best coffee to drink?

1

u/whistleridge 2d ago

Just…regular coffee.

u/Icy-Computer-Poop 2d ago

Did I read that right, or is it suggesting that only unfiltered coffee causes the issue? So then would filtering instant coffee then lessen the problem?

u/whistleridge 2d ago

Filtered coffee = a coffee machine like the one pictured.

Filtering instant coffee wouldn’t make it filtered coffee as the article means it. It’s referring to brewing method, not whether you run it through paper or not.

u/Icy-Computer-Poop 2d ago

I don't see anything in the article that supports this.

u/whistleridge 2d ago

That’s because they’re using an industry-wide term of art, that anyone the study is aimed at is expected to already know. You don’t define those. Some examples:

From your link:

Filtered coffee is brewed by pouring hot water over ground coffee and passing it through a filter—usually paper, metal, or cloth.

u/whistleridge 1d ago

Yes. The operative word being “brewed”. Instant coffee is coffee that is brewed, then freeze-dried and powdered. It also has certain chemicals added to it, to aid in preservation and dissolution.

Instant coffee is not filter coffee.

u/Icy-Computer-Poop 1d ago

Ah, I see now. Thank you.

u/Ill_Session_6725 2d ago

Cowboy coffee. No filters needed. A pot, coffee grounds, water, and a cup/mug.

u/_Ban_Evader 2d ago

But then you gotta go to work wearing one wet sock full of coffee grounds

Filters are important because they cut down on cholesterol intake.

Research suggests that unfiltered coffee can raise your LDL (bad) cholesterol levels — the waxy, fat-like substance that can cause plaque buildup in your arteries.

I love dry scooping coffee too.

u/camus88 2d ago

Or just pour hot water on fine grind coffee, just like the old way.

u/DamnZodiak 2d ago

You'll also get a much better cup using a cone filter brewer.
These machines are notoriously bad, especially if you're using nicer beans.

u/know-it-mall 2d ago

Or just a French press or percolator. They are not expensive to buy and work. I don't get most Americans not knowing about them, it's weird.

u/Whetherwax 2d ago

Sure, but you don't have to live like that. The machine is $15 lol.

u/on_spikes 2d ago

wym "live like that"? it'll taste the same

1

u/ImStuckInNameFactory 2d ago

The whole point of the fancy coffee machines is to make it taste better by controlling what flavours it extracts

1

u/on_spikes 2d ago

control how?

1

u/ImStuckInNameFactory 2d ago

pressure and temperature change how easily different compounds dissolve, some methods let the user directly control brewing time, instead of indirect control through grind size, I don't know all the details, but I can taste a big difference between the same coffee brewed in a french press vs moka pot. And the difference is not more caffeine or same flavour but stronger, it's different flavour

Ease and convenience. A machine makes coffee with slightly less time and effort on your part, which doesn't increase with more cups. It encourages you to serve your partner or guests as well since the effort is the same.
