how do you make yours? what type of roasts or flavor do you like? i like dark roasts with a fruity or chocolate-like subtle flavor, and i use this stainless steel french press, kettle, and electric bean grinder to prep it

Usually, I avoid caffeine, tea, nicotine for health reasons, to avoid gastric reflux.
I've spoke with some International Society of Krishna consciousness - they also avoid mild mind alterning substances.
Coffee gives me problematic stomache motility. So is nicotine. So I've been avoiding mmost of my life.
However, recently learned about different beans, oriental, acidic, bitter non-acidic. And espresso made from later seem worked good. Because espresso extracts only all safe, good alkaloids, taste, flavours, aroma in first 60 seconds. And avoid long-extracted irritating terponoids, tannins.
I lease cuprum turka that I bought as a gift to fellow coffee enjoyer. He prefers it to italian coffee machine.
Also somehow zero sugar coca-cola does better in my digestive tract than coffee. idk about pepsi. Does anyone on denpa-chan seriously prefer pepsi to (over) cola ?

Cold brew green tea is dope as bottled nestle.

chinese bao hao green tea with mint, or sencha

I let it brew, soak for a night in cold water at room temperature. Add some bergamo, lime.

I am partial to Colombian brews of all types

i'll start with green tea i can easily source at the store if i go for it

usually i just get variations of dark french roasts but i might see if there's any good dark colombian roasts sometime

I have a full automatic these days (siemens eq6 plus s700, entirely removable grind unit and while i would be excited about a bit more pressure control it's still an absolute beaut), but before that i was big on hand grinding and mesh-pour-overs. I still do it sometimes but it's mostly for the ritual these days, there's something quite nice and decelerating about it. As for beans i always buy one bag of my current default and one bag of something random at my indie roastery of choice one town over to keep things fresh. The current default is a fairly dark vietnamese robusta with a bright citrus-peel-y note that stands against the almost smokey nuttiness of it. It's a delight, though most of my defaults over the past six years were lighter brews. In the summer (started two weeks ago) i keep a constant supply of cold brew in the fridge in a one litre bottle that lasts me two days at a time. In winter i sometimes do that statesian-south thing of putting butter in my coffee, which is extremely luxuriant though should be reserved for special little moments. Despite how all of this might sound, i don't actually think that I'm too much of a pretentious douchebag in these matters. I don't think I've ever turned up my nose at any coffee offered and i frequently drink instant while travelling. It's easy to get lost in the artistry, but coffee is a very pragmatic substance at the end of the day which is nice to occasionally be reminded of. sipping something that tastes like battery acid outside of a gas station and feeling your brain cells come online is a cute little feeling in its own right

i've never gotten an espresso machine - if i did i'd probably just get a moka pot since the fancy ones cost an arm and a leg. i do like the more intense taste and kick a good espresso has

Black, the more bitter, the better.

usually i just have coffee or with a bit of milk. i've never had it with sugar - and i've been given coffee with sugar by mistake before when i went to mcdonald's to get a pick me up on a road trip. sugar completely ruins the taste of coffee tbh

Yeah they're a pretty significant investment and ones that aren't fully disassemblable for thorough cleaning are basically not worth buying second hand either (and as with everything these companies are super opposed to make products that can actually be maintenanced. There's exceptions but they are exceptions). I only have mine now because it was the old office coffee maker at my place of work and they gave it to me for free when i asked if i could have it. Moka pots are fussy. Probably the way to go if you like espresso and don't have much cash but it is pretty detrimental to the mood when your whole brewing process is a series of quick-time events to avoid your coffee burning

I like it black cause the bitterness hitting my taste buds sends a shock right down my spine and wakes me up
