Seems like there are many people into high end coffee on this board. I figured this would be a good place to highlight coffee beans, equipment and techniques.

If you find any online deals go ahead and post them here. Hopefully we can get some run on this thread similar to the bourbon and homebrew threads.

Haitian Blue

Black Knight

I just ordered two pounds of each of these. Completely different styles. If I can’t taste the difference in these two shots then I’m fricking something up.

I plan to use these for espresso shots with an occasional pour over.

Why does Starbucks Pike taste burnt at most Starbucks but not at every Starbucks?

You asking the wrong mother fricker. All Starbucks taste burnt to me. Even their blonde roast tastes burnt.

It really is crazy how bad the coffee is there.

Even at higher end places I occasionally get a bad cup of light roast, but much less frequently than Starbucks.

I need to get a bottomless portafilter. Does that have a conical grinder built in?

We've been grinding beans lately. These make the best coffee I've had in a while:

You just use it in a drip coffee maker? I feel like grinding the beans fresh is a game changer.

Grind fresh with the baratza and the oxo drip makes a good cup. Stumptown has some good ones, tried a mad priest dark recently and it was good. I am not as good about writing down my coffees as I am the bourbon.

I'm about to pull the trigger on an Oxo 8 cup drip and Oxo burr grinder. I'm not ready to go down the full coffee brewing rabbit hole, but I want a better cup of coffee at home without much hassle.

One tip is how to leverage the strength of the dollar to save a couple hundred bucks. You can order some of the good stuff from a retailer in Italy, Espresso Coffee Shop. I think that makes the stuff grey market in the US, so I wouldn’t order an espresso machine from them, but I just ordered a Eureka Specialita. Even with shipping it was about $180 below the cost of any domestic retailer. I’ll let you know when it comes in if it was a legit deal.
