A friend got some barista class thing, and he wanted to try some coffee experiments with me and other friends. He offered me, my girlfriend and his girlfriend to taste his mix, saying that has cacau and other things
Our girls: yeah, I can taste this and that...
Me: it's definitely coffee
I don't have paladar for this stuff - and I kinda don't care much. I mean, I just want a good coffee, which is not that hard to make

It's like wine.
There definitely are 'notes' of say, berry/fruity, cacao, vanilla, but they very much are 'notes' not considerable flavours. I have no idea why.

I am not, I enjoy tea.
The wife loves coffee though. She had one of those fancy coffee machines that grinds the beans and does all sorts of different things.
She also has a Nespresso right beside it too which she loves as well. She uses that more than the big fancy thing right now.

I hand grind whole beans using an all stainless steel manual grinder. Then I use a cone paper filter pour over method. As far as beans go, I typically just buy the most expensive bag of whole beans that Costco offers.

Using a V60, I presume?

Finally received my Meticulous espresso after using a Flair 58 for a few years and it's been pretty great trying out the different profiles. Anybody have a good coffee subscription recommendation to try out? Hearing good things on September coffee but still looking around at options.

Holy, don't think my coffee palette is sophisticated enough yet to discern between a $87 bag from a 20$ bag yet. Might have to add that one to my bucket list though.,How much money do you have?

I don't know if I'm a fanatic, but I quit jobs where the coffee was awful. Cause somehow all my bosses loved extra bitter coffee (and of course they were the one chosing the beans). I almost always ended up buying my own beans/capsules.
I find fascinating that the coffee beans' taste isn't really linked to the brand/how expensive they can be, but rather your own tasebuds. My favourite coffee for now is this no name brand I can find in one specific store which requires 1 hour of driving.
And also the coffee of one specific gas station.

Pour over is by far my favorite method when I want a good cup of coffee. I am not one of those people that can take a sip and pull out all of the notes but I know what tastes better to me and pour over does a great job of pulling out the flavor of the beans. It is nuts how much different the same beans can taste depending on the brew mothod.

I found the size of the grind to make a big difference in the tastes and the electric grinders wouldn't provide a consistent grind. The manual grinder made all the difference, plus it's all stainless with no plastics.

I tried St. Helena in Nespresso capsule form and it's simply incredible. Like, you can't describe it. It's like it stimulates taste buds that shouldn't be able to taste coffee. It costs a small fortune, yeah, but I suggest trying it once in your life if you can.How much money do you have?
