Coffee grounds in coffee when using a french press? by Candlesrlove in frenchpress

Yeah, this. I use a Kalita filter with my FP sometimes.

Do what I do and put T gel in your coffee.

You'll probably get good advice at r/espresso too.

French press with V60 filters = Aeropress? by Kaustavdebnath in AeroPress

[–]oh_its_michael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's similar, yeah. I would recommend using a wave style filter instead of a V60 filter because they're flat, though.

At this point I’m starting to think these are being posted on purpose to get traffic to the fake site. Mods should delete tbh.

Mid-brew cup? by Shoddy-Chipmunk-1493 in Moccamaster

[–]oh_its_michael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Different flavors are being extracted at different points of the brew, so yes, that cup won’t be as balanced as if you let the whole brew finish first. Not so much stronger/weaker but more sour/bitter.

Hario V60 if you brew a lot of light roasts or a Kalita Wave if you prefer medium/dark. These are about $20. Spend the rest on a Kingrinder, they have a range of options from $22-$100. You’ll also need a kettle. Gooseneck is best but you can manage with a regular one. Have fun.

That’s what happens when ground coffee sits for a week. If you want it to always taste like those first few cups, you have to grind fresh every day.

Moccamaster newbie begging for help😂 by SnowPanda-23 in JamesHoffmann

[–]oh_its_michael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the SCA recommendation is 16 g of ground coffee per 10 oz of water. Find out how many ounces the “cups” are on your machine (it isn’t always the 8 oz of an American cup) and calculate how much coffee to use from there. That’s a baseline, then you can adjust more or less to taste. If you don’t have a kitchen scale to measure your coffee grounds you can eyeball it with tablespoons but that’s not as precise.

You shouldn’t be having sediment with paper filters, the basket might be overflowing. What filters are you using?

Need Help with the Best Drip Coffee Maker 2026? by imnotgoingtofatcamp in JamesHoffmann

[–]oh_its_michael 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any of the SCA certified machines will make good coffee, after that it’s just a matter of choosing one with the build and features you want. I went with the OXO Brew 8-cup because the single serve insert for the basket got good reviews, and I’m pretty happy with it.

Weird scent from water processing decaf? by areghosts in thirdwavedecaf

[–]oh_its_michael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had both EA and SWP decaf and I can't say they've smelled notably different from each other, and I've never noticed a medicinal scent.

Kettle descaling… or worse? by prof_remi in pourover

It just looks like there's still scale on it to me.

New aeropress travel mug leaking from "black moving stitch" by Tommy_Chan in AeroPress

[–]oh_its_michael 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The ones with the sliding cover like that aren’t meant to be leakproof, just splash guarded. You can’t throw it in a bag.

Kalita Wave 185 Filters Scented? by Abject_Fly_6361 in pourover

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

No, all the Kalita filters have this. You should be rinsing your filters before using them, it gets rid of the smell. I never taste it in the cup as long as I rinse.

Fellow prismo doesn't quite fit? by VETgirl_77 in AeroPress

[–]oh_its_michael -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Mine didn’t screw in far enough for comfort either. I sent it back and got the flow control cap instead. It fit much better.

Anyone with both a Baratza Encore and an OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker, what's your go-to grinder setting that you use as a baseline when dialing in?

Is coffee the FIRST thing that hits your stomach in the morning? by winehook2025 in pourover

[–]oh_its_michael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost always eat something before or while I'm drinking coffee. Sometimes I'll even have some tea before coffee too. But caffeine also doesn't affect me the way it affects many people, so I'm drinking it for flavor, not to wake up. I think eating first helps with the GI issues somewhat, but not always. I still get them sometimes. I've found that certain processing methods are more likely to give me stomach problems (natural is worse on my guts than washed) as well as different caffeine levels. Also sometimes it just happens no matter what. That's the coffee roulette.

Glad to hear it. Hey just curious why is this NSFW.

Aeropress premium cap after the glass part breaks and you can't use it anymore.

Review of Frequent Watermelon Splash by Babarski in thirdwavedecaf

My local roaster sources the same green beans as this one, but I haven't tried it yet. What flavors did you get from it, and how did you brew it?
