The Coffee Thread

Fermented Coffee?? Wow! What's next? Compost Coffee???

Well, technically all coffee goes through some form of fermentation when the “bean” is being separated from the fruit. Anaerobic is done in a more controlled manner.

One of the key differences between anaerobic and aerobic biology, is it the different life critters delivering different outputs. Dunno about the beans tho … lol

Lactic acid??

@la szum watch those videos I posted if you’re interested.

Thanks for the reminder! I'll pop them on the Tele while I am pulling Kitchen Duty tonight.

Ubatuba granite from Brazil?

Ubatuba granite from Brazil?

Home Depot Special.

Christ. These are some of the funkiest smelling and tasting varieties I’ve had in a long time. I expected it from the Anaerobic, but the dark roast was a surprise. Definitely tasting chocolate and berries.

Are you a coffee drinker?

Home Depot Special.

Could well be Ubatuba… just curious since I bought a couple slabs of it once.

Is it green or black. Can’t quite see.

It’s black. It was a scratch and dent piece that had some flaws, but it was cheap.

The more I look at this, the more I lust after a nice espresso... Took our DeLonghi Dedica to the shop this afternoon, fingers crossed it's an easy fix.

It's broken, and we've been having Bialetti-style mocca and greek Frappe for the last couple months - both of which I enjoy, but a true espresso is another level.

I love a good espresso, but a quality machine just isn’t in the cards for me at the moment.

I have one of those hand press, get your pump on Espresso "machines."

I have no clue how bad they are, or are not. It works, and makes a tasty little shot.

I have a EC680M DeLonghi and refuse to pay for coffee outside (unless I am traveling).

My Aeropress and grinder goes with me whenever I travel. If that isn’t an option, I always try to find the roasters closest to my destination.

This is my second order from Black & White Coffee Roasters. I gotta just say that their flavor profile descriptions as absolutely spot on. If you’re new to specialty coffee and have difficulty identifying and describing notes, I highly recommend them.

I need you guys to recommend me a good backpacking solution. Hot water, filter, (grind?).
