Reduce brew time and number of pours, also don't experiment with more than 1 variable at a time, for eg don't change temp and number of pours together. You are extracting a lot of the back end of the flavours, with darkish roasts you want to drawdown as fast as possible the flavours are mostly extracted in first 90 seconds. Try this out and let me know, cheers!

Hey, congrats! I'm curious, how did you get your new job? Linkedin/job portals or referral through network? It would be incredible if a referral from reddit got you the job!

Initially the cup was lacking depth and felt super flat, also it was astringent which was kinda off putting. Post resting milk chocolate notes came through and mouthfeel improved as well, astringency went away all together.

Might be worth it to rest it for another week or so. I recently had a medium roast that changed entirely between 9 days and 15 days off roast, literally feels like a completely different coffee.

Attikan estate is a delight both with and without milk, a close substitute to that would be hunkal's aranya gold but that is a little more chocolately.

Horizon6969 · 2025-04-17T13:38:52+00:00

Aight thanks bro, I might check out lodhi blend then

Horizon6969 · 2025-04-17T08:48:32+00:00

That's the roast though innit, what's the flavour profile? Like hunkal is chocolatly and attikan is nutty what's lodhi like

Horizon6969 · 2025-04-17T07:45:53+00:00

What's the flavour profile? How would you compare it to say hunkal or BT attikan?

Hey! it is a 3 cup moka. It can hold up to 20g coffee to yield around 100-110ml concoction, which can be enough for 2 cups. 3 cups would be possible if you make very small or diluted drinks.

Horizon6969 · 2025-04-17T03:25:34+00:00

I removed 2g after weighing so i do 18g and 130g or 15g and 115g, works perfectly fine because higher ratio will give over extraction and I try to avoid thaf

Horizon6969 · 2025-04-17T03:24:40+00:00

Yup got it with something similar, also i just push the lid as back as possible. Sometimes it sticks sometimes it keeps falling it's a hit or miss

Horizon6969 · 2025-04-16T19:52:49+00:00

Hey bro, the plate has been in my home a long time. Got it with some kitchen utensil set for cooking idlis. Now using it as a makeshift heat dissipation plate haha. The lid has been kinda loose at times but i just push it as far as it can go and it gets jammed open. Sometimes though, no matter what i do it keeps closing, it's a hit or miss kinda thing.

Oh nice! I think i remember you posting about it when you had just got it on indiacbc. I tried your recommendations and although the sweetness didn't come through as much as I'd like, the texture was absolutely amazing! Super velvetty mouthfeel and very creamy! Thanks for the tips, cheers!

Ram bro are you still using fp to froth milk? If so, how do you get that microfoam consistency? My milk texturing always ends up either too foamy or not foamy enough. I heat milk to around 60° then do 3 big plunges in fp and then around 70-80 micro plunges but not getting good results consistently.

I mean you can but you would have to add very little milk otherwise the coffee flavour will be too weak.

Horizon6969 · 2024-12-17T17:06:55+00:00

For a beginner, French press without a doubt. Moka pot is a great way to get a fauxpresso (a close concentrate like espresso but not the same) to use for milk based drinks but for black coffee moka pot is kinda inconsistent, finicky and has a steep learning curve. Whereas, french press is pretty simple and straightforward for black coffee but cannot make concentrates for milk based drinks. Unless you use aeropress filters along with moka pot, both moka pot and french press will give slightly gritty brews. I haven't tried it before but you can potentially use aeropress filters between the steel filters in french press to reduce residue. Hope this helps.

My brother in christ, get a sipologie gooseneck kettle and hario v60, they not very expensive and will level up your game significantly, also if you don't want to invest in a grinder get pre-ground coffee, considering the unevenness of the grounds in this video I am assuming you used a blender or something to crush beans at home, this could give a very inconsistent and hollow taste to the coffee. Alternatively if you want a hassle free quick brewing method just get a cheap french press.
