What's the point of using an expensive grinder and machine when this is easier and literally tastes the same?
The same reason people listen to vinyl records or drive gasoline powered cars. They're old and don't know any better, or just stupid
Or because your wife is lazy as shit and doesn't want to buy a grinder to use it. That's me.
soundlet
there is literally no difference in the sound, it's just the signal that is different. your speakers doesn't produce square waves, nor is there a loss of quality unless you're using some shit as ancient as the vinyls
By your logic, looking at a picture of, say, a tree on your computer is literally no different than seeing it in person with your eyes
You don't know anything about signal processing
no, it's more like saying a digital camera produces worse pictures than a regular one
film is factually better then digital photography because film is actually 3d which gives the photo more depth
You are wrong. I literally do this for a living you double Black person
It doesn't taste the same, but also, preground coffee has roaches in it.
https://sprat.in/scientists-who-work-with-wienerroaches-often-become-allergic-to-preground-coffee/
so you're saying preground coffee also has the advantage of providing extra protein?
neat
I have some bad news for you. Every food product produced in a factory has insects in it.
Yes, but only chocolate and coffee seem to have it in great enough quantity that people with roach allergies notice.
>What's the point of using an expensive grinder and machine when this is easier and literally tastes the same?
You should be asking the pros of using a keurig, which is that no one is touching your coffee pot, not washing the filter properly, or otherwise contaminating a workplace coffee maker for others to workaround.
You should be asking what type of coffee is best to keep on hand at your vacation house, when it could be weeks between visits, or what do you keep on hand when you personally only have coffee for visitors usage?
Freshly ground beans do taste better than old grounds, so no, I disagree they are virtually the same. Additionally, the packaged cups have no control over brew preferance. They won't let someone brew it lighter or stronger, or an additional 4oz for their larger mug.
Keurigs do that
>literally tastes the same
they don't though. NPCs like you are just used consuming stuff of middling quality and wasting money on dogshit in exchange for convenience.
The pods are fricking gross, I have them, they don't taste anything close to real coffee.
Because I can make people feel insecure and uncultured by having fresh beans, a grinder, pour over equipment/cafetiere/espresso machine, serving it to them, and in the inevitable conversation that ensues, just say disingenuous shit like "I really enjoy the whole process, in today's frantic world it's nice to just slow down. I don't dislike instant or anything, but everything's a little nicer if you take your time I think."
This is doubly crushing to women and gay men who happen to be a bit more socially conscious, a lot of straight guys will see through it and mock me a bit, but at least admit that it's kinda nice.
>This is doubly crushing to women and gay men
Why do you invite gay men to your house?
Because some of them can be company.
Also for sex
>good company*
lol
No idea. That's why i've used kcups for over a decade. I have coworkers who go thru these autistic charades with grinders and filters/presses etc and it always comes out worse than a kcup you can make in 30 seconds LOL!
>literally tastes the same?
false, and on top of that, it is ridicilously expensive
I have a Turkish style hand grinder and it's genuinely satisfying to use it. With that and the French press or the cezve, I get fresh ground coffee every time with almost no waste and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than k cups.
Pods are way more expensive than whole bean coffee. Simple as
>expensive grinder
Go to a thrift shop lil newb. Save yo baller bux.
These are far more expensive than that "expensive" grinder.
It's genuinely not even fricking close.
>this is easier
True
>literally tastes the same?
False
>12 kcups
>$6
>4oz of coffee
>1 pack of coffee
>$6
>12oz of coffee
so you're okay paying same price for 3x less for what?, plastic that you just throw away? and that's being generous, this pack is actually $10...
Yes, I'm not poor
they use artificial flavors
The main alternative to pods isn't a grinder you moron. It's using a regular drip machine with ground coffee like almost everyone uses.
And the better question is why anyone would use pods instead of regular coffee when it's already zero effort to put water into a machine snd a few scoops of ground coffee into a filter before pressing the start button.
because it taste like burnt shit
No, anon, that's not how drip machines work. Nearly every office, house, hotel, and truckstop diner in existence has been using that approach to making coffee for the past 50 years since Mr. Coffee dethroned the percolator and it works great.
I don't think you can burn coffee with a modern drip machine even if you tried to.
you drink shit coffee if you like auto drip coffee. and yes it tastes like burnt shit, because that's what the pre ground coffee is
Drip machine coffee is just the regular baseline quality coffee that nearly everyone who drinks or serves coffee uses. Pretending it's bad makes you sound moronic.
if it's so good, then why are people moving on to pods? why do you belive people to know what good coffee is? most people decide what coffee to buy based on how cheap it is
>if it's so good, then why are people moving on to pods?
Are you seriously suggesting people use pods because they want higher quality coffee?
It's because they're lazy, brainlet. It's the easy mac of coffee.
yes, I do believe pods are better than t nasty pre ground. yes, people are lazy too. no, people don't know good coffee, that's why they add milk and sugar or worse.
>yes, I do believe pods are better than t nasty pre ground
Pods are pre-ground too you idiot.
That's the roast level of the beans, not the extraction method. You can't "burn" coffee with water, considering boiling water at sea level will be 100C and roasted beans are at a way higher temp for a sustained period. Having the carafe sit on a hot plate definitely doesn't do the brew any favours though, would be nice if more batch brewers used insulated carafes instead.
i boil some water and throw a spoonfull of coffee ground i keep in a jar and i get coffee
wow so hard and complicated
Based cowboy
It doesn't taste the same. My parents have a Keurig and dear God it's bad. It tastes simultaneously watery and burnt. I'm not even a huge coffee sperg, I like Maxwell's House just fine, but you seriously have no taste buds if you pay 5x for those abomination cups.
it doesn't taste the same and cutting the pods apart with a knife to scrape the grinds into the compost, the foil into the garbage and the cup into the recycling every single time is a bigger pain in the ass than fresh coffee has ever been.
>expensive
A coffee/spice grinder is like 20 bucks
Anon I am the biggest tastelet on the planet and even I can taste the difference between k-cups and freshly ground beans.
do none of you use a v60 and buy single origin beans? fricking pathetic
k cups are nothing compared to 3rd wave coffee.
>v60
>single origin beans
>3rd wave coffee
can you elaborate all these 3 points?
is that the coffee you are using because that looks very dark. v60 is a pourover cone from hario, used to make single batches of coffee at a time. third wave coffee is a style of coffee that some coffee shops are doing where focus is put on the quality and flavor of the cup, instead of it just being a cup of caffeine that tastes like trash. beans that are specialty vary in taste region to region and are typically roasted medium to light.
>v60 is a pourover cone from hario
Amazin'!, I didn't know this one, thanks
>third wave coffee is a style of coffee that some coffee shops are doing where focus is put on the quality
I some how knew this was a thing
My coffee, as you can see, has 2 different kind of beans. One is dark which is roasted with sugar and the light one which is roasted without sugar. And yes, they come from very different regions from my country... I sell that coffee btw. Which video do you recommend for 3rd wave coffee to get a more in depth knowledge.. may be I can replicate it in my house
not sure of any videos i would recommend, but james hoffman on youtube is a wonderful source of coffee knowledge. here is my v60 recipe
20g coffee
300g water
60g bloom for 30 seconds
after the bloom slowly pour up to the 300g of water and swirl the cone gently and let it drain. 2 and half minutes for draining means your grind size is on the mark but also you should go by taste for understanding the extraction as well. if you don't already use a scale and timer for you coffee it makes a world of difference in keeping your cups consistent. also you should look into mineral supplements for distilled water if you want to bring your coffee to another level
thank you amigo for sharing your knowledge.. you have a house here in Jalisco to come have a beer or a coffee with me
>expensive grinder and machine
If it's 50 bucks in total you're overpaying.
Pod systems meanwhile are expensive as hell.
Disgusting. If I wanted brown liquid that tastes vaguely like dish-water I'd go to Tim Hortons.
>pike place
>folgers classic roast
