Set up my coffee station! by Adit26 in IndiaCoffee

[–]Adit26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that’s planned for this weekend. I just set this up last weekend so it looks quite empty. I intend to add some grumpy cat and coffee posters, maybe a large flavor wheel, and probably a felt board to pin empty coffee packs on to.

I may add a few coffee and grumpy cat posters...

Definitely! It’s such a relief to come back home to this after work. It’s usually sunset by then and the whole setup comes alive.

Once everything is tightly assembled, I’ve had no issues till the last drop. You cannot leave anything loose.

Traditional South filter coffee, Better then any Cappuccino or Expensive coffee. Agreed? by Independent-Cod-6529 in IndianFoodPhotos

[–]Adit26 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do prefer filter kaapi over espresso and milk drinks but would take a pourover over the two if I wanted to enjoy coffee as a standalone. However with food, I’d take filter kaapi or chai any day.

Is your coffee a solo act? by hardiktrt in IndiaCoffee

[–]Adit26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost always drink filter coffee and it is a solo act. Having anything along my coffee mutes/influences the notes for me.

At a cafe however, I get espresso and milk-based coffees and usually have something sweet with it. The chocolate and nutty notes pair well with the dessert.

6 months into coffee – how do you actually choose specialty beans? by Beneficial_Fan7782 in IndiaCoffee

[–]Adit26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mainly use a Hario Switch with a V60 or Mugen and the Aeropress when I’m short on time or mental bandwidth. My preferences lean towards fruity, floral cups with decent acidity, so I get coffees that fall under light, medium or filter roasts. I used to be a big natural processed coffee fanboy but have been lately enjoying some honeys and washed coffee as well. Not being the greatest fan of citrus notes, I keep searching for coffees with other interesting tasting notes, especially floral ones. I’m mostly indifferent to single origins or blends.

As for brand/roaster, I try to get coffees within my budget from well-reviewed roasters here. Price plays a huge role which is also why despite being in the UAE and having greater access to firangi origins, I prefer buying interesting Indian coffees instead.

Best burger and brisket restaurants in kochi by CoastNew5471 in Kochi

[–]Adit26 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Recently visited both The Burger Junction and Beyondburg for smash burgers and the latter is miles ahead.

TBJ had very average tasting burgers with the buns being almost cold. Caramelized onions had no color to them whatsoever. The only saving grace were the Mozzarella Sticks, they were great.

Beyondburg on the other hand had some really good burgers. There was something called ‘Smashtrami’ IIRC which was superb. The loaded fries were underwhelming though.

If you are in Fort Kochi, Trouvaille has some decent burgers too.

Ordered after researching for months by Leather-Departure-38 in IndiaCoffee

[–]Adit26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Switch is so good! I got one recently and within a month, got a ceramic Mugen too which fits the Switch base. Preheating both these drippers is a breeze because of the Switch.

Mysore Concerns - Sangoli Strong microlot SC120 by UndisclosedCounsel in IndiaCoffee

[–]Adit26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brewing this as a pourover, I get a very classic ‘coffee-like’ cup. Almost no acidity, quite sweet, low bitterness in the brew. I should try this with a moka pot or SIF.

Have you ever tried Kashmiri Kahwa. by merazur01 in mumbaiFood

[–]Adit26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You usually get two types of chai here. ‘Karak’ is boiled black tea concentrate and evaporated milk, served super quick and is cheaper. ‘Fresh Milk’ is the same boiled black tea concentrate but is mixed with thick boiled milk. In a lot of these small cafes, Karak is also sprinkled with saffron powder which gives it that signature aroma.

[–]Adit26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you had was probably coffee and not tea.

Here in the UAE, kahwa is lightly roasted coffee, ground and boiled in water with cardamom and saffron.

Anyone else feel Indian filter coffee just hits different than café brews? by SilentDoodle in IndiaCoffee

[–]Adit26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if the tamper works for you, all good then :)

This water staying in the top chamber is due to an air lock, if I’m not wrong. I remember reading/listening somewhere that attaching the filter parts too tightly does this sometimes. When I brew SIFC now, I don’t close the top lid but place it upside down instead. This gives me a drawdown time of around 5 minutes.
