I mostly drink pour over, but am obsessed with quirky coffee methods. Got a cafelat robot to complete my collection. I also have a French press, a Cezve, a Vietnamese phin and a South Indian coffee filter.
I am a soon to be owner. Was curious and hope this will be the only espresso maker I'll ever own.
While I mainly plan to use it for myself (mostly light-medium but occasional darker Italian style roasts and decaf for milk based drinks), one use case would be for guests, especially my in-laws.
They mainly drink medium-dark Arabica/Robusta blends from an ESE pod machine and prefer it over Moka pot or pour over. From one pod they make ca. 150ml resulting in a Swiss Café crème. Café crème usually is extracted at espresso pressure from a medium to medium-dark roast at a ratio of ca. 1:10 (eg. 15 g ground coffee, 150g in cup)
Now I know the robot's basket does not hold the required ~180ml. Do you have any ideas how I could make them happy? Topping up for an Americano (this is often recommended but results in a more watery texture)? Or can I extract the same grounds twice?
Interesting documentation movie from NZZ folio and the work done at ZHAW: https://www.nzz.ch/video/format/kaffee-der-zukunft-die-suche-nach-der-bohne-fuer-eine-heissere-welt-ld.10014305
Would like to get to know Indian coffee better. Is there any source for specialty coffees from India for pour over that are not too dark or "monsooned malabar"? High-quality Robusta/Canephora would also be interesting since I do South Indian Filter coffee sometimes.
First time Liberica for me. Posting here since I found nothing on here for Liberivca with the Oxo.
V60 brew was not very good for me, too much stevia and liquorice and an off-putting taste.
More palatable as a soup shot (90°C, 20g, 80ml; K6@53 clicks) with tamer notes. Will try long soup, but I think Liberica is not for me. At least ORB can help me make this bag drinkable.
The beans are Indonesian and have been anaerobically fermented with yeast.
Any suggestions welcome.
Don't know if this is news but just realised that the Hario server (size 2) fits perfectly under the ORB.
Works very well for zuppa lunga and similar recipes with a lot of water. I always was nervous about the carafe size
