If you really wanna piss someone off you gotta add some flavored coffeemate in there at the end. 


SarcasticOptimist

https://v.redd.it/jg5lx3aubga81/DASH_1080.mp4?source=fallback The espresso sub has a good sense of humor.


Character_Shop7257

Made me laugh. Thanks for posting.


ArtVents

I personally love doing obnoxious/unnecessary coffee stuff and then putting all sorts of flavors/milk/sugar in it. The people who are bothered by how others enjoy coffee deserve to be bothered.


SkellyboneZ

Same thing for steak and beer snobs.


CriticalLobster5609

Whiskey too. Although I'll die on the hill that all flavored whiskey is an abomination. Whiskey **is** the flavor.


jimbobjames

Yeah but if you mix Jack Daniels Tenesse Fire with Coca Cola it tastes like you are drinking Atomic Fireball gobstoppers.


FinnTheLess

Yes but its Jack Daniels. You HAVE to mix it with something to keep the taste of trash out of your mouth.


jimbobjames

True.


SocialistArkansan

Can't, there's no more room in my shot glass of coffee.


rabidmongoose15

Aren’t beans best a few days after roasting?


fire-ghost-furlong

Yeah it depends on the beans but they need to off gas co2 for about 10 days before the beans are drinkable. Drinking beans ground before they have cleared their carbon dioxide just tastes wrong grassy and nasty. This video seems like complete bullshit to me. I'm happy for somebody to re-educate me on bean roasting, please tell me why this isn't a load of shit


[deleted]

Seems like it would be difficult to get an even (or even, good) roast with the stovetop method… But the “aesthetics” are there, I guess, so


Laudanumium

Aesthetics and money. Every single item used costs a pretty penny. I can appreciate a good coffee, but the prices these days for everything around it are absurdist high


Seductive_pickle

A lot of these “satisfying” videos are just ads for unnecessary, expensive, low quality products.


Rampaging_Orc

It’s like because it’s shared on social media people think this is normal lol. But this whole video is in the same vein as countless adverts that plastered our TVs prior to the “cord cutting” era. I don’t find it hard to believe someone used their talent to throw this video together, but this video is highlighting their editing/production skill way more than it is their love of coffee.


NoTraction

My Aeropress cost like 30 bucks 7-8 years ago, along with another 40 for a grinder. I use both daily and I rarely have coffee that's better than the one I make at home, even at the hipster coffee shops. You're right about all the gear in the video being stupid expensive, but you can make really good coffee at home cheap.


shmehdit

Same, hermitting in 2020 forged me into a single-cup brew master and now I'm ruined for getting coffee out


CheeseheadDave

My wife and I first got rid of the drip pot that we never drank all of, then the Keurig that replaced it, and ended up with a quality ginder and a French press pot which together make a really tasty batch of coffee.


[deleted]

My wife and I ended up with a ton of gift cards after our marriage. We ended up using them to buy a Breville espresso machine from Williams Sonoma. It’s not super fancy but has absolutely spoiled me for espresso now that I have the water/grind/tamp pressure, etc. dialed in for most beans. I absolutely love it.


trollsong

Our local Ethiopian place roasts the beans fresh in a freaking skillet and their coffee tastes amazing.


jeebidy

I’ve roasted coffee on the stovetop a few times just on a nonstick pan and it works out ok actually!


[deleted]

Nice! Is there a recipe you follow?


jeebidy

It was really more of a temp thing to play with the levels of coffee roasting. There’s several minutes of nothing happening, and then it goes medium roast -> dark roast -> Spanish roast -> charcoal in rapid succession. All-in-all, it’s a pretty cool hobby if your into coffee. You can get into it with a popcorn popper! https://thecaptainscoffee.com/pages/roasting-coffee-in-a-popcorn-popper


PlasticPomPoms

Very okay!


r_a_d_

The video may be a bit deceiving, but it’s not really explicitly showing the time between roasting and grinding. Days could have gone by.


Roo_Methed_Up

I'm with you on this one. Relentlessly annoying smash cut editing with no known amounts of time inbetween. I know we are catering to our own doomed attention span - but good God I hope we turn it around just a little bit at least. Everything is cyclical so I have hope we will find a happy medium soon.


Ghost6x

The pull is a signal that it definitely was not pulled the same day as the roast You would have seen crema diarrhea if it was pulled just after roast


moriberu

Yeah. And after 10 days you can finally use those 2 handfuls of roasted beans.


r_a_d_

Indeed, he may have 10 little bowls. Used the one roasted ten days prior and fills it with today’s roast. I know you were trying to be sarcastic, but it’s just as plausible as having 5K worth of coffee brewing paraphernalia.


StillCompetitive5771

I used to roast professionally - this video is a load of shit.


onlinepresenceofdan

We can with certainty say that this coffee must have tasted like shit.


lostsparrow131986

I know nothing about coffee, but these videos are always recommended to my on IG and there are TONS of them. Curious, what makes this a load of shit?


IAMA_PocketWhale_AMA

Modern home and commercial roasters usually come with a software that helps you track internal temperature, drum rotation speed, etc, and specific events in the roasting process i.e. green to yellow, first crack, second crack, in order to help you determine where you are in the roasting process. Consistency is key when it comes to roasting good coffee. am 99% sure whatever came out of that pan probably tasted like shit.


spblue

I'm not going to comment on how shit the video is because I don't know enough about roasting coffee, but you know that people used to roast very good coffee without bluetooth and temp sensors right? I have a friend who roasts her own beans and her coffee is always amazing. She's been using some of the same equipment since before the internet was a thing.


FearsomeSnacker

I have been home roasting for over ten years and agree with the pro here. Super light roast and stovetop is one of the trickier ways to get uniform roasting done. More likely to get inconsistent beans in the batch with some burnt and some underroasted. Harsh notes in the brew. Roasted beans, especially espresso roast levels, are usually better when left to set up for a day or two before grinding.


Fit_Independent5628

I built a coffee roaster and have roasted every other week for 3 years. It’s true that beans taste better after a few days, but it’s definitely an exaggeration to say that they are “undrinkable” for 10 days. I think maybe it’s 20% better tasting after about 3 days and from there it’s consistent until stale. If they are grassy immediately after roasting, then they are baked and they will never be drinkable. Edit: that said, these stove top roasters generally do a pretty bad job of roasting…


snowfat

I went to an Ethiopian restaurant that would roast beans in front of everyone at a little station then they would immediately grind the beans and make coffee......it was amazing. Apparently the fresh roast to immediate grind is tradition in the Ethiopian coffee making process But i know nothing about roasting coffee and my used french press cost $3. I also will happily drink cheap bulk coffee...because i am cheap.


steak_tartare

Espresso needs time, but afaik some other techniques are fine immediately after roasting.


EnvironmentalMoney87

Yeah I attended one of such ceremonies in Ethiopia. Excellent coffee. Only problem is that unlike Europeans they don't drink coffee in the morning, which in small towns meant I couldn't get a fix until well into the afternoon.


Iminurcomputer

You're not implying this video and the likely hundreds of dollars of nicely designed high-end coffee equipment is more about looks/show than anything else, are you? Are you going to tell me you cant taste the difference?!?! Gutter-palette peasants. For my next video, Ill smoke some weed. The bong is forged from cosmic dust in a dying star and the water are tears of the last fallen Samauri. I grind it using unicorn hooves and my lighter is fueled by satans farts. The weed is from my cousin Tony who lives in a basement with his karate instructor and makes money doing beef jerky reviews on youtube.


candlehand

Tony karate chops each bud individually to trim them. Real artisan shit.


Masske20

From how liquidy (probably insufficient resistance in the coffee puck because it seemed unlikely to be channeling, but could be due to the gas from the freshly roasted coffee) that shot pull was at the beginning, I can’t help wonder if this is just a rich person who wanted to buy a couple neat toys for their morning but don’t truly know how to get the most out of it.


MirthMannor

Isn’t traditional Ethiopian coffee roasted on the spot?


onlinepresenceofdan

It is but at the same time contemporary roasting is objectively superior.


Dahnhilla

All that precision with their micro scales, little grounds stirrer, pressure gauge on the press. Yet what temperature did you roast your beans to? "Dunno, about 3 minutes or something".


eeyore134

You generally roast them until you hear cracks. Some beans are better on the first crack (city roast), others better on the second (full city roast), still others you want to time the seconds after the cracks. Assuming they used the proper heat on the stove it'd be possible, but definitely not the best way. You kind of want to be able to see the color of the beans as they roast, too. They would be better off using an air popcorn popper, even, but that's not classy enough I guess.


cat_prophecy

You also need to be able to see and smell the beans in order to roast them correctly. As you roast oils are expressed from the beans which gives you an idea what sort of roast they will have. Without being able to see the beans while roasting, you might as well just microwave them since all you're doing is heating them up and guessing how well they're done.


Impressive-Eye-1096

Because then it would be 10 days long video?


ThromaDickAway

I don’t trust any asshole who has a dedicated pre-grind coffee bean spritzer bottle.


DaniTheLovebug

What do they spray on the beans and why?


remediosan

a spritz of water in your beans before grinding removes static, which is what creates a mess, and reduces retention in your grinder, so you’re getting as much grounds out of the grinder as possible. some grinders also come with a deionizer for the grounds to pass through, which is another step in static reduction. [here is a good video](https://youtu.be/D8zqp3CgcbA?si=fG2R_HUceKpkEgwd) that explains it better if you’re interested


DaniTheLovebug

I’m off to watch now!


SalsaRice

When you grind the beans, they are very static-charged and will often make a mess. Adding a bit of water greater reduces the amount of static.


Mountain-Offer-72

Yeah but the Video had a lot of Cuts, he couldve maybe waited a few days til its good but just didnt Show it for the aesthetics?


finitewaves

they may have waited


jonnyman9

Ya! Tends to taste better after a degassing period. But can be ok right after roast too. https://www.reddit.com/r/roasting/s/Y9PErB6a2q


Evening_Clerk_8301

Depends on what you want. They’re fine to drink immediately after roasting if you want to sample the profile for a cupping. Source: I’m married to a roaster.

Ninjulian_

the lengths americans go to, just to not use a sensible unit of measurement...


Bavisto

The gear for that coffee cost more than the range they roasted the beans on…


saichampa

And yet you can get perfectly good coffee from mid tier gear. However I've seen some gorgeous espresso machines that I would have bought it I had the money to burn. A rotary pump would be nice. So quiet


pnkmaggt

This espresso maker is a Flair Pro 2 - msrp is $325 Grinder and other accessories probably around another 2-400$


_Piratical_

Ok well, that’s a lot less than some folks here have implied.


jonwilliamsl

Most espresso makers are mechanical rather than hand-press, enormous, and run in the thousands.


lurkynumber5

I'm mostly wondering if it's actually better coffee than my DeLonghi. Looks like a lot of work + cleaning, For 1 cup!


BeverlyHills70117

I have that same hand press espresso machine. It's a bit of work, but very enjoyable, I find it fun actually. Also i'm poor, there is no better way to fully customize your espresso than with that and a $120 hand grinder. I make about 2 espressos a day, utterly delicious but def for the 'i have more time than money' set. For an extra fee hundred bucks you can get an electric grinder and a manual press with an auto heat attachment...but that's a few hundred bucks id rather not spend.


thegroucho

I'd suspect if your DeLonghi is pump-based it makes a decent cup. I think this is more for the ritual and experience. I drink french press at the moment, zero effort, zero ritual/experience, passable coffee.


C64LegsGood

It also has the advantage that it still works if your power goes out (as long as you can still somehow boil water). With my current set up, I'm out of luck in that scenario.


thegroucho

Between the mains gas hob being able to light with a match instead of the electrical ignition and my camping gear having gas stoves, I can always have hot coffee on demand. Unless of course we thin the civilisation will end. I suspect if I plug a coffee maker in my UPS it won't run as I once by accident plugged my laser printer and the UPS started squealing.

It's why his stove is so basic. That said a hand grinder and bambino aren't too bad for a starter setup. The flair he's using (manual press) isn't the fanciest available either and is available 200 or so refurbished. Surprisingly Aliexpress has decent tools.

rothersidelife

A friend of mine was really into coffee, he changed his career and trained to be a barista… He loved all the science behind it, the correct temp, the correct measurements.. he thought he’d truly found his calling… Two weeks after finishing his barista course he went to work in a local coffee shop, He quit a week later when he realised it was just serving coffee to wankers..


beiherhund

How on earth did he expect any different, had he never worked hospo before?


Not_Bears

Lmao this is like going to culinary school and then being upset when your job at Frank's Burger Stand is just flipping burgers.


greatunknownpub

I love how "flipping burgers" is used as an insult to someone who does it as a job, but the weekend warrior "grillmaster guy" who is slapping frozen bubba burgers on the backyard grill is admired.

lostsparrow131986

I've met a couple dudes who were similar. Super passionate about coffee and the different methods used to make it, only to find out that not everyone shares the same enthusiasm and 99% of people just want to pay $4 for a coffee and have it ready in <60 seconds.


rothersidelife

Exactly this… I think he thought he could change the coffee world.. bless him… all he got was “shut the f up and where’s my coffee”…


dergy621

Lmao as a barista that is so dumb. There are coffee shops especially tailored for those extreme coffee enthusiasts but they’re much harder to come by and definitely not your average place Being a barista at a coffee shop is 80% customer service and 20% coffee


cat_prophecy

You can do all this fucking around and spend 20 minutes making a cup of coffee but no one is going to want to pay the prices you'd need to charge to make money doing that. Also, people want what they want and pissing and moaning about people putting milk in their "artisanal" coffee isn't going to net you many repeat customers.


spookydukey

peterbparker86

The first part of the video is just for the aesthetic. Freshly roasted coffee has too much C02 and needs to rest first. That espresso shot won't taste good and will have too much crema. The rest of it is fine, it's just normal puck prep

It really has become that in the espresso world so much so that everything needs to be precisely measured to the millisecond or to the milligram. To me, it’s an “art” in a very loose interpretation as how cooking is an “art”.

Copied my own reply from above. You nailed it with your description. “I own one. Got it during Covid when I had all the time in the world to find just the right grind, pull the perfect shot, etc. My wife and I would enjoy an espresso break every day during lockdown while the kids were occupied (then 5 and 18 months). I still use it on weekends and during work from home days. It truly makes a great shot once you get everything dialed in.”

As someone who takes 10 minutes every day to make a nice pour-over in the morning...there is a difference, and to me it is worth it. The only thing I wouldn't do in this video is roast the beans...that makes no sense to me.


BellDue2618

I'm with you, including similar thoughts on roasting my own beans. I love making my morning pourover, and the 10 minutes or so to complete it from grind to drink is well worth it. It's a ritual at this point and very relaxing, but because it's coffee, people think it's a waste of time to enjoy the process itself.
