Coffee discussion

I found that a very fine grind is actually only good for a short steep. You get off flavors much faster wit an espresso grind in a non-espresso maker.

Interesting.

It makes sense. More surface area to volume means faster extraction of all the various chemicals in the grounds. If you get off flavors from oversteeping, you're bound to get them faster with a finer grind.

I try not to steep my very find grounds more than 3-5 mins. 3 probably being better, and usually with just under boiling water. I go to the line on my grinder between Medium and Fine for most french press coffee.

Compared to a Keriug or a mr. Coffee like machine? Pfft., I say, pfft

You need to hand wash a French press to do it right.

Yeah, that isn't terribly hard, I found. Am I just used to working more for quality?

Yes

[Ethel mermania]

The base, no, the filter, yes.

Loosen the screw and hit it with the sink hose.

Toss the K cup into the trash, and pop in a new one.

[Ethel mermania]

Yeah that's why I stopped using mine too Grinding the beans super super super fine helped somewhat, but still wasn't that great.

^this is true

French presses are not that hard to clean.

The base, no, the filter, yes.

You're using too fine a grind. French press needs a coarse grind, both so you can plunge without too much pressure, and so you can clean the filter in literally two seconds under a faucet.

Too much plastic waste.

I have a blade grinder so that's not too much in my control

Put a gun to mr. Keruig’s head and make them biodegradable

The problem is the coffee they put out is thin. It doesn’t get any easier and quicker to clean. It is the perfect device for instant gratification for the caffeine addicted masses, You know, like me

Invest in a burr grinder. You will thank yourself for it.

I will freely admit that I crush the free Kcups at work.

I don't have a grinder at all, and it take me maybe two minutes to restore by french press to out-of-the-box condition daily.

[The Black Forrest]

They don’t ship?

Under normal circumstances, yes. Due to CoVID19 quarantines and enforced lockdowns in PR? Not right now. I’ll order some more once this emergency passes.

They have a site or email? I am always open to trying new things.

My mother has one. She said coffee wise its kind of weak. She stopped using it as she doesn’t like the waste. Keruig has to come up with a reuse or as you said biodegradable.....

You can easily buy a re-usable Kcup. There's like four different kinds and they cost maybe a few bucks each.
