This is good, and it’s relatively cheap

This is the cheapest Coffee down here not horrible but not good either When I use the cheap stuff I usually go Agulla Rojo. My biddy just copped some Juan Valdez other than that I've found that ground coffee that you put in a standard coffee pot has deminishing returns if you go more expensive than that.

The best ground shyt in a coffee pot that I've seen is Santo Domingo Coffee which they ain't selling in Colombia You can go to Starbucks and get some imported coffees but that's it.

I'm going back to the states but when I get back I'm thinking of getting a top of the line expresso maker.

Starbucks is the best coffee and Joe coffee is second.
Most coffee snobs would kill you for saying this but actually for a decent average cup of coffee anywhere in the world Starbucks is you best overall bet unless you're going to premium coffee houses and getting specially organic grown beans and roasts

You'd generally can't go wrong with Starbucks It is better than any chain coffee like Juan Valdez or Tostao and that's why even in Colombia Starbucks stay packed even charging a ridiculously high price

A Venti Latte costs 11,000 pesos or like 2.50 cents down here

Gonna be hard paying 6 bucks for a small cup back home.

I make Viet style coffee at home with Cafe du Monde (-minus the condensed milk)

Sunday, I started doing a 2nd pour through to make some weaker coffee that I turn ice cubes.

Now I can't get to sleep until 4 am in the morning
Coffee rarely is the culprit for my natural insomnia

I feel for ya bro.

I count my blessings that I don't deal with insomnia.

That's what's up more Black people need to get in the coffee game.

I know a dude from Altanta that has a coffee farm in Narino in Colombia

It's not in the traditional coffee region of Colombia but Starbucks sources their Colombian coffee there and all of the people are Black

Upgraded from my bonavita 1900 + baratza preciso combo to a fellow aiden + fellow ode gen 2 setup. Really happy with my gear now. Ran some cheap ssp mp burrs in the grinder for a couple weeks, but realized that they're really only suited for single origin light roasts which my wife isn't much of a fan of. Put the stock gen 2 ode's back in and calibrated them and am getting cups with a close enough clarity to the ssp's to satisfy my tastes :ehh:


The fellow aiden is an amazing machine. I highly recommend it to anyone that prefers using automatic brewers. It has an app where you can share and download profiles or make your own on the fly. It also not only does batch brews but single cups as well with the switch of a basket which is included. It's about as close to having a pour over automated that you can get. The pulses simulate the agitation that you get from manual pours and make for some really good flavor extraction. As I'm learning my new equipment I'm beginning to pull some extremely sweet and juicy cups from it.

The app had a rocky start but they seemed to have ironed out its wrinkles and its fully functional now.



Also grabbed a cheap autofill valve off amazon for $20 and plumbed my aiden's water reservoir.

Currently brewing counter culture's hologram beans which I find to be a really good value if purchased in 5lb quantities. I split the bag in two and freeze dry half and dump the remaining into a planetary design airtight container. Every week i pre weigh out my daily portions into small airtight jars so that in the morning all I need to do is dump them into the grinder and then from there into the brewer which makes for a really efficient work flow.

My coworker has a 20K set up. 8K was for the plumbing. I just realized there are levels to this.
:wow:
When I was in Afghanistan, I got into hand grinding my coffee every morning then using my aeropress. I would drink it black as well.
:russ:
Our beans were old but overall that was my morning routine and I enjoyed the experience.
:ehh:
I’m in Japan now. I need to see about these SEA beans if there are any and review them.
