Flat whites are the upper end of how much milk I can fit in a coffee. The large chain-store coffees with like half a litre of milk are insane to me, especially cause the baristas always scorch the milk.
That said, not really against milk in coffee in general, depending on the bean you can end up with a nice toffee profile so long as you aren’t washing it out

Also, bit of cheating. It's definitely a tier above all the others and not widely available lol.
By inky Go To PostWhat's a good Costa Rican coffee brand?

Almost bought the Clever Immersion Brewer because of it but I don't need any more coffee brewers lol
I’ve been back into pour over again lately after going back to mostly espressos via a moka pot, it’s been nice.
Also Toronto’s coffee scene has become SO good in the last like 5-6 years, it’s insane. So many great cafes and the Starbucks are fading away.

By reilo Go To PostGoing to try it in my aeropress, it’s the only immersion brewer I have, but yeah, definitely looking at the clever despite only really drinking espresso based drinks

this is true but it's 1.20€ in most places and italian coffee is often terrible lol.
un caffè still hits tho.

Can't say I had bad coffee in Milan when I was there.
I could go for a sfogliatella and a good espresso right about now though.

it's just often too strong and bitter. there's little to no speciality coffee in italy.
reilo is a portlander he had better coffee on every street corner.
now sfogliatella is pure bliss.

I'm a simple man, I don't mind strong coffee as long as the taste is good.
I usually take Americano's though. Straight Espresso is something for in the morning mostly.
I've been eyeing this sale on a Jura Ono, 50 % off apparently.
I'm using a Hario V60 now with handgrinded beans which works perfectly fine for me. But still, a machine would be a nice little upgrade.

Did Hoffman's iced coffee method using my Clever Brewer today, and wow. This is quite effin' good. It's such a different flavor profile from brewing pour over then icing it down using an iceless cool-down system.
Hoffman’s water first method with the Clever brewer (thanks Reilo for the suggestion) produces some damn good coffee
Got a 'proper' grinder and there's an immediate improvement in the how my espresso tastes.
It's the Eureka Mignon Zero. Very quiet and grinds very fast. One thing is I think I can get it tasting better but I'm unable to. Can't quite get that mix of bitterness and sweetness right. Tends to come out a bit strong and lacking a bit of sweetness. Much better than I'd been making before when I used the espresso machines built in grinder though.

30 MINS
By Call Sign: Apollo Go To Post30 MINSAs a non-coffee drinker, it was enlightening.
My friend brought back a bunch of beans again from Kenya.
A few kms from his house in Naivasha, there's a few small, local owned farms which have some ridiculously good selections.
First one is a small batch with Blackcurrant/grapefruit tones, dark roasted. 5 € for 500 gr.
Second is more of an espresso roast with chocolate/orange tones, smells like fresh fruit baked in a dessert. 11 € for 1KG.
Third is a light roast with Bourbon tones? Disgustingly strong and tasteful. 14 € for 1.2 KG.
All at an altitude of around 2000 M.
If I buy even the shittiest of Kenyan beans (which would still be good) I would pay 82 € for 1 Kg.

By Lupercal Go To PostMy friend brought back a bunch of beans again from Kenya.Sounds incredible. Pretty much all of the coffees the roaster I go to has are South American, might need to ask for some more African options.

My espresso machine has been having pump issues, it's all I can do not to dream view new machines, but really I should fix this thing

Ethiopian & Burundian can be found at decent prices aswell.
I think I pay around 35/45 € for a KG of it here, which is fine.
Rwanda coffee (the ones Ive had) are always a bit to sweet I find, but still good. Makes a great Ice coffee though.
Congo is great if you don't want to spend to much, but still want quality.
My local "specialty" place has Mexican, Colombian coffee a lot and they always deliver too.
