I made a post around a week ago that really took off, and figured we are probably going to see a small spike in activity due to the reddit migration, so I thought we could give it another go!

There are always tons of posts about what beans you are brewing, but my question is HOW are you brewing those beans this week? Sticking to the tried and true v60? Pick up a new Orea and still figuring out the best recipe for it? Pulling some particularly sweet shots on your latest beans haul? Let us know below! What's your brew method of the day/week?

I've been pretty busy the past year, and most recently I've just been lazy, so lately I've just been using my French press. I have a cheap calphalon espresso machine but I guess at some point I'll clean it and use that again.

Edit to add: I also use a bialetti moka pot for laziness.

Currently I'm definitely in that "got a new Orea" camp : D

I got my "negotiator" a couple days ago and have been trying to get the hang of using it with flat filters. (I got some of the hilariously expensive sibarist ones to try.) It's a little fussy to get everything situated, especially compared to the very easy workflow of the Mugen that has been my main brewer.

Today it's already pretty warm here so I did a batch of iced coffee using Rogue Wave's Doi Seket. 55 on the ZP6, 28 grams of coffee, 300g of water, 200g of ice, doing a simple 5 pours of equal size.

This coffee has been a bit tricky to brew for me, with a papery astringency that has been tricky to avoid, so I dropped the temp down a little bit in brewing, which seems to have helped somewhat.

I use a modified rancilio silvia. It has a PID with the boiler set at 216°F. I also have it moded for pre-infusion. I do a 10 second pre-infusion and a shot time of ~27 seconds. 20 grams in 40 grams out. There is an awesome local roaster, light house roasters, they have a variety of beans to choose from. I'm still learning and chasing that perfect shot.

My dad gave me his old krups that he's had for forever and just never used, but I'm still learning how to effectively use it. I can at least brew with it but I have not mastered the milk steaming yet, so I've been leaning into more basic ice coffees. 1 shot of espresso + eyeballed pour of caramel syrup + 7 ice cubes from my small tray + rest of the cup with milk. Once I start narrowing what beans I like/what I like about them, I'm hoping to refine my process a bit better, but I have some beans that my FIL roasted and I gotta say, all coffee tastes better having been roasted and brewed with care. :)

Aeropress loosely following James Hoffman's recipe at ~18g/300ml. Using a Knock Aergrind at 1:8, and the Aeropress stainless steel filter.

Using an Aeropress and James Hoffmann’s recipe - 12g coffee, 200g water, brew for 2:00, swirl then :30 more.

Depends on the mood a bit, mostly a variety of Moccamaster machine, Bialetti or small French press. Cheaper Beans for the machine, and the quality stuff for the two others ☕

Grind each morning (currently on an Ethiopian kick), then through a BUNN drip. It's not as good as those special one-off coffees, but I've found its the best balance of energy vs. enjoyment
