The ThinkPad of coffee makers

The ThinkPad of coffee makers.

It boggles my mind why people unironically buy capsule machines or drip coffee makers with 100 parts that can break, require electricity and a constant supply of filters and whatnot.

A moka pot only does 1 bar of pressure while you need 9 for proper espresso. It only makes pseudospresso.
It's the raspberry pi of espresso machines at best.

>ever-present chance that the nipple can fail and the pot will explode

Not ThinkPad at all desu senpai

i use that same thing just for the reason exposed.
Have two the big one and the mini cute version.

wana see my cute one?

>getting the alumiunium version instead of stainless steel
SHIGGYDIGGY enjoy metal flavor.

It's because people are lazy. It's much easier to pour a pre-measured bag into a drip coffee machine and add water.

looks spartan


how do you use it

Lol, what? You really dont know?

>wana see my cute one?
Yes

I have one that's easily 50years old

Okay

Pic related
No filters required. The only wear part is a rubber seal that lasts for years and costs cents.

is french press espresso or pseudoespresso?

ye i don't drink coffee

I prefer pic related. This is essentially the same thing, but it's less hassle and less to clean. Milk frother is a very needed addition, plus it can just give you hot water on demand.

No, this is. It's a literal metal cup. Who cares about taste the caffeine's in there and it's all that matters.

>Who cares about taste the caffeine's in there and it's all that matters.
enjoy your acid diarrhea

You put water in the lower part, then coffee in the middle part (has to be grounded), and then you put it on the stove. The water heats up and is pushed to the upper part through the coffee, making a drink.
What I don't like about it is that it sprinkles coffee water everywhere, because hot steam is involved it stains the whole stove, and it stains itself, then the coffee often gets too heated from the metal case and you can taste a bit of burning. And it's pretty slow if you want more than one cup.

Two of those shits exploded on me and one impacted the ceiling (mostly concrete) so hard it left two dents.
Do not trust Jow Forums memes.

Get that one
It does literally the same thing, but it is electrically controlled instead of just letting hot steam do whatever it wants.

How? Are the new ones poorly made or did you use it wrong? My parents have been using the same moka pot for like 30 years. You're supposed to turn the stove off immediately once you hear the coffee burbling up, don't leave it unattended.

It must be the macbook of coffee makers then

What kind of question is that? The water should be slightly below boiling and it's an immersion, how would you get 9 bars of pressure from it

I just make instant or drink caffeine tablets.
If I want good coffee, I'll go to my local specialised shop for a fresh brew.

t. NPC

I just put coffee and hot water in a mug. I you dront slowly you wont swallow any coffee beans.

No retard, you have no goals or aspirations, so you spend all day with your high maintenance inanimate objects.

Dude...you remove it from the stove once the coffee starts boiling/splashing, maybe a few seconds before it gets to that point

Kek kek

That's funny because I brew coffe while rendering movies, on my macbook.

>put coffee into a filter and put the filter into machine before going to sleep

>the coffee is ready just as you are done
>have a fresh nice espresso before going out

yeah, sure

No, you have to remove it from the stove once all the water from the lower chamber made into the upper chamber and it stopped going through the upper nozzle. For relieving the pressure in the meantime it has a pressure valve on the lower part, so if yours exploded then it means that the valve malfunctioned.

That's literally high maintenance, I'd rather have a morning wank to my girl's feet than that bullshit.

post feet

Apologise first.

no

Generic walmart brand and the other was god knows what. Alluminum cases definitely thinner than what gramps had. I suspect shitty relief valve manufacturing and bad thin threading.

So far not even one fucking espresso capable machine was posted in this thread and the whole level of the discussion is laughable. Is Jow Forums this retarded about anything else too?

why are there so many feetposters in Jow Forums lately ?

Italianfag here. True espresso is only sold at bars and made with proper machines, but moka is fine and tolerated in Italy. Mostly used for breakfast at home and to offer to guests.
Nespresso machines are picking up tho

I like the capsule machines because the cups are nitrogen sealed. its fresher tasting than using pre-ground store bought coffee. also I'm just one person so I really only want 1-2 cups, and grinding beans is too labor intensive. I just want to feed the addiction in the most convenient way possible

I just pour grounds and water in a mason jar and leave it in the fridge overnight. Filter into a cup with a funnel and away we go.

programming socks is important to being a good programmer, and Jow Forums is full of good programmers

that's not how the cold brew is made

Several studies have found links between asperger's and foot fetish.
Honestly I started doing it as novelty and it became an inside 'thing'.
I wake my girl up by gently smooching on her toes. I ask her to describe me how her day will go, then imagine her feet sweating as she walks around. How all sorts of bacteria and fungi are feasting, reproducing, and excreting waste.
I'm just sitting there licking it off, sniffing her toes. God it feels amazing. Every time her soft, soft soles touch my cheek, my dick throbs. She knows it and she likes it.
I move up to her, take my dick out and spoon her intercrurally until I cum right between her legs. Sometimes if we're lazy, I cum inside her panties so it's easier to clean up. Then I sleep for another 20 minutes in total relaxation.
These 20 minutes are important for me, they give me life force. I am *not* brewing shitty amateur coffee in those 20 minutes.

Heh. You know, it's better when she comes home after a long days work and finds all her shoes neatly packed and spotless. Squeaky clean. Shiny.
I feint a quick burp and point at the ones she's been wearing all day. Et cetera, friend.

how the FUCK this this thread go from coffee too literal disgusting caveman rituals

Fugly manfeet.

French press is the unix way.

Same

It does the same thing, but the coffee taste differently

It looks like the american wageslave knows nothing about taste or quality, it just needs some caffeine to be able to serve it’s masters with higher efficiency.

Cringe

I just bought the Moka a few weeks ago and I like it so far. I bought the aluminum one though, is it worth it to buy the stainless steel version?

If only caffeine matters, then just buy caffeine tablets?

>It does the same thing, but the coffee taste differently

because it's not being burnt by the metal casing, since the pot gets really got the coffee inside a filter starts burning. That doesn't happen in a machine that controls its temperature.

>True espresso is only sold at bars and made with proper machines
No shit sherlock, the idea is that people are trying to get close to what you can get in a caffe without having to pay $18,000 for a la marzocco machine. I have a $500 breville that works really well. For the price it's about the best return on price:quality.

It's better to buy a machine like that, and make sure that it has a nice, steel filter, but if you want to have a pot then steel is a must.

This garbage makes me sick to my stomach

No, I watched some tests about the aluminium levels after brewing and a one day soaking and stuff like that and it was minuscule. Sometimes the alu levels were higher in the tap water before brewing then after. (the coffee bed filtered out some)

> make a croissant
nice that'll only take about 12 hours

Looks really comfy but 500 dolla for fucking coffee is way too much

Modern espresso machines control flow rate, overall water amount, temperature and pressure. The barista has to calibrate the grind size and ramping pressure to control the extraction.

The idea that you can get close to this with preground coffee of unknown particle size with a moka pot where the temperature fluctuates wildly during brewing, pressure is around atmospheric and the water weight and extraction time depends on the heat source and the time you stop the brewing is laughable.

Maybe. I got it two years ago refurbished for $480, and it's been going strong daily ever since. It's definitely expensive, but it's cheaper than spending $4.50 at a cafe (fuck you Seattle prices) and more than that, it makes me happy.

ramping —> ramping

And I did not even mentioned the two most important parts of coffee, water and the beans.

Holy shit. In italy a coffee is 1€ and it feels they're already stealing you.

Kek fuck iPhones I tried to type “tamping”

>enjoy metal flavor.

You're not supposed to clean it.
So after a couple of brews there will be enough residue to avoid direct contact with the aluminium.

In any case the coffee tastes horrible no matter the metal used because the water gets too hot.

>You're not supposed to clean it.
fucking degenerate, bacteria breeds there! Disgusting.

The water is always 100 degrees because it's driven by steam.
Well...maybe if you use it on top of a mountain it will be a few degrees lower.

Yeah. Was just in Rome/Florence for two weeks last month and an espresso felt ridiculously cheap to me. Miss it. Don't miss your weird very thin napkins though.

>In italy a coffee is 1€ and it feels they're already stealing you.

They are stealing you because they use low-quality beans roasted to a crisp.
Italians don't know how to make coffee, there I said it.

The water is 100C, but the case of your pot is as hot as it could get, hence the coffee is burning, and you don't have to have 100C water to have a nice coffee, pressure is key here, not temperature. Some coffee mixes must be brewed at lower than 100C, and I can drink coffee right away after my espresso machine, but you can't do that with this shitty pot.

cowboy coffee is a valid strategy, but you should probably grind the beans if you want to extract more caffeine from them

I have a trick which helps to control the extraction: I preheat the bottom which contains the water and only put on the filter and the top when the water is almost boiling. (I grab it with kitchen cloths to avoid burning my hands) This way the metal can’t conduct the heat to the coffee bed. If the grind size is correct the coffee just flows out, it shouldn’t spit. When the water amount gets somewhat correct I stop the extraction by immersing the bottom into cold water. Also you should fill the filter with coffee and should not tamp it, tamping is for pressurized brewers.

I am fully agreeing with you, don't get me wrong.

It is a flawed design that makes it impossible to brew at the right temperature, it is always too hot.

This of course still inferior to espresso but it is one step in the right direction.

I do like percolators, you get this in between of watered down coffee and espresso that's really nice for breakfast. But I'm more a green tea/matcha person. Keurigs are great though, quickest coffee you can get that isn't instant powder.

Moka pot is probably the most finicky and worst way I've made coffee. I mean if you like everything to be burnt go ahead.

Look up pasteurization.

Capsule espresso machines like Nespresso have become quite good at making espresso with crema and good taste.

make vietnamese coffee in one of these everyday

Even with all that effort the water is still way too hot.
If you have any love for coffee you'd use a different method.

>cringy weeb shit

nah nigga i'll stick with my $5 glass french press

Yeah as an amateur coffee snob I expected the capsules to be garbage, they're not bad

Redpill me on this I love coffee

>pasteurization
If you let your cutlery build up dead microorganisms and not clean it that is still the antigen that your immune system would react to. Pasteurization happens in STERILE environment, because it is meant to kill the bacteria in your beverage, and there aren't too many.

I brew V60 with filter roasted specialty beans but a lot of the times I don’t have time or money for this method so I still use moka with cheaper beans for the caffeine.

I used to think like you
Then I got a good cappuccino machine and never looked back

I have a Rancilio Silvia which, with some practice and extra effort, can make an espresso just as good as in a bar.
It does require a very good grinder though, so you end up spending over $1000.

It's shit

You have got to be joking? These things are not presure cookers. That nipple is just for idiots that put too much coffe.

no, it's not for idiots, you idiot.
You have no control over how hot your stove gets, so in my case with gas it gets too hot too fast, and this valve is required

Not him but they sell millions and millions of these devices including cheap Chinese imitations.

Never heard of of them exploding ever.

Pour overs are better

I use monster instead of water. It is like more coffe per coffe!
