Why does every cafe around me have acidic espresso?

Jump

  • Probably they're more focused on their milk drinks. The milk really fills the acid, making the whole thing nicely tangy. Not really an excuse tho - if they have espresso on the menu it should be good.

    EDIT: "dulls" not fills.

    • Does this plan make sense? v4

  • I agree with everything here. Do I need to move to a different instance?

  • If you're already carrying water, why not just carry hot coffee in a thermos?

  • Have you tried the Hoffmann 10 minute FP method?

    Stir briefly, just to get everything wet. Put the lid on, but don't plunge. After 3 minutes use 2 spoons to scoop off anything floating on top, grounds, foam, anything not liquid. Put the lid on but don't plunge. After 10 minutes, don't plunge. Pour carefully into cup, without agitating the grounds at the bottom.

  • This week, Sweetshop from Square Mile, and my standard El Carmen decaf from James Gourmet.

    Grinding in Mahlkonig/Baratza Vario, to which I swapped in the Baratza/Ditting steel burrs and steel grind chamber, and every few months I'll have another go at trying to get the burrs aligned perfectly.

    Brewing as espresso, usually 17g -> 34g, sometimes longer. And V60 20g -> 320g, with varying pours and pour timings.

    Favourite instant is the house brand from Lidl. It's not good but it's significantly better than Nescafé. Works well as a low calorie appetite suppressant, with artificial sweetener.

    I'm not satisfied with the taste of the instant, but I don't drink it for the taste. My "real" coffee tastes f-ing amazing, including the decaf.

    I'd be interested in other brands of instant worth trying, and also in other decafs - I've tried a lot and this JG stuff is head and shoulders better than anything else I've found.

    • Rain on your wedding day isn't, in itself, ironic - BUT a song titled "Ironic" getting the very concept of irony wrong, that is the very core of irony, so... well done.

  • There are so many great ones in London it's ridiculous. Maybe start at Prufrocks (as seen in several James Hoffmann YouTube videos)
