This is why I ground my own coffee at home and use a Italian coffee stive top maker. I leave the regular drip coffee maker for my dad to use but myself and my mom we use my Italian stove top coffee maker because boy does it make wonderful tasty coffee☕😋🙋 -Mercy(sorry for the name confusion I am on my dad's phone at the moment)

nah THIS.

I took a week long dip into the coffee side of RU-vid. Literally the same coffee I drank one month prior is disgusting, so it's been repurposed for pourover practice.

And good quality beans!

Living in Australia for a couple years ruined coffee for me. It's so hard to find good coffee once you've tasted the best. A trip to Seattle let me try the coffee there, and it was the closest I've had since.

Just spend the 80 bucks

@@tijmen131 no good coffee costs $15

It would not really be a strong apricot flavor; it'd be like a hint of a flavor like that. In fact you could find a coffee that to YOU may have a melon flavor, or a citrus flavor, or some less-defined fruity flavor.

It can though. If you get high quality coffee (doesn't have to cost 86$) and a decent set up it's amazing the kinds of flavors and profiles you can extract from your coffee. And it's a wonderful feeling to taste all the notes of your coffee for the first time when you brew properly.

The other one mentioned for the variety section is still considered a very good coffee. The apricot one is just about $20 more than it needs to be, imo. It's expensive due to its rarity, rather than actual quality. Cost when it comes to food scales exponentially.

Right? The knife guy literally laughed when they brought out the last round of knives.

For the knives the point wasn't comparing two knives of equal value, it was comparing what you could get in regards to quality/utility given the price point.

Soooo much better that the knife one

Brandon M the point of all of these is to guess which one is more expensive and the knife one was way too obvious lol

Agreed. He looked like he was having fun testing himself and giving a good overview on how to approach buying coffee for any would be enthusiast. I liked this video a lot.

They get it wrong many times (he would, too) when they are not shown the bean nor the brew process but just the look and taste. They also get wine wrong. And stupid sushi. All arrogant and ignorant people.

Because one should simply go and buy or drink whatever coffee they like, not what others tell them to like. Its the same with nasty sushi and red wine, all arrogance and snobs. It is a culture, part of pop culture, just like when one is told Citizen Cain is the best movie of all time, or Casa Blanca, or some Hitchcock movie, just like everyone is told Hitchcock is a genius, or when we are told the Beatles are the greatest band ever, and that Nirvana is up there, too. Its all a culture, and such culture is making the world a very, very stupid place. Pop culture stupidity (biases and prejudices) seems to be most people's main source for intellect.

Well said! Pretentiousness is often confused with having a passion for something.

Markus E He didn't tell you what to like and what not to like though. He's just informing the general public what to look for in while finding an enjoyable brew. It personally doesn't matter at all to me what style of coffee I have, but I'll gladly accept knowledge for future coffee endeavors.

No worries. You are not alone. Saying that coffee has those tastes, is an absurd. He maybe a coffee taster for an American palate, but it does not mean he knows that much.

@@dobrasil8479 LOL okay the difference is these types of beans are treated differently - he literally mentions this repeatedly with commercial grades. Hell, you can even taste this in Starbucks coffee if you do it right, their Kenyan coffee has a distinctly lemon flavor. Just because you are not involved in speciality coffee doesn't mean you know what you're even talking about. Clown.

The beans aren't the beans after a roaster roasts them. Roasting changes a bean. Ive seen it happen. Beans dont come out the same

topher How traumatic 🥺

as a guy who grew up in a family who had a coffee farm in Guatemala i can confirm, i remember the 100 pounds of fresh harvested coffee went 20usd ... *fixed grammar

@@luisejimenez15 it's honestly one of the world's great injustices.

This is actually one of the reasons Third Wave Coffee (Specialty Coffee) is pretty important. Specialty coffee shops *should* pride themselves on their transparency; not just in taste but also sourcing. Intelligentsia and other high end coffee shop baristas will actually have knowledge of the farmers who grew the beans they roast and serve, and if not, it’s usually easy to find out through their site. It’s important to find shops that are transparent about who and where they’re sourcing from, as to keep the company accountable for the labor it takes to produce their product!

Dude. Everyone laughs at wine experts. Google the "Tasting of Paris".

katherine mark u know toxic people

I guess cause most people drink it just fh or the caffeine so they dont care what it tastes like, just a guess

SmART PEOPLE MAKE ME FEEL dumB -90% of epicurious commenters

katherine mark i agree. Sad but MOST people treat coffee as Mundane

People who brag about drinking cheap coffee black are just silly & don’t know anything... it’s like bragging about eating your McDonald’s burger without any condiments in a discussion about steak. Sugar & milk help make cheaper coffees (and teas) more palatable. Good coffees have a lot of nuanced flavors & are naturally sweet, so adding stuff is kind of a waste. But at the end of the day all that matters is you like it.

@@Tarooo89 I feel like I got a lot of flack for just not being able to drink coffee from almost any readily available store unless it was like 400 calories worth of milk and sugar. But when I started making my own lattes at home with espresso and using a higher quality espresso, I found I could take less and less sugar and cream and still like the flavor

I think he was mostly trying to say that good coffee is better black, with some exceptions. Cheap coffee tends to need milk and sugar

@@nathanpenick9454 Well milk and sugar make up for problems that arise in the coffee processing. Milk reduces the sourness and sugar the bitterness. Lots of off the shelf coffee is over roasted and dried out so it keeps longer. As a result you get a lot of stale coffee grounds. This means that the oils aren't fresh which leads to the sour instead of subtle acidity, and the coffee is over roasted or over oxidative so it becomes bitter. Some people think bitter coffee is somehow manly so they run off with dried out "espresso" roasts or dark roasts (see Starbucks Sumatra) and it's great to see them twist their face as they grimace at their coffee. Any way you want to take your coffee is fine with me, I take it various ways depending on what I'm drinking and how it's brewed myself (even instant coffees are great). I think the reasons for the different coffee flavors is super interesting, though.

I learned to appreciate coffee living in Germany. Returning to the US, I tried a dozen different brands, but could not find one that I liked. Problem was that I was buying Arabica beans when coffee that I drank in Germany was made from Robusta beans. Once I got the bean choice correct, I was happy. BTW adding cream and sugar to Robusta coffee causes a chemical reaction. The result is nasty.

@@taniamanik2012 Somewhat yes. It's to show that you're really into the noodles and it's kind of a compliment.

While "properly" tasting most things you either slurp it or swirl it in your mouth, both of which do more or less the same thing and both of which can seem annoying to those not used to it.

@@cynicalt1407 No, it's really more or less the same, one is just more effective but also more annoying. If I'm drinking a beer in a group I just swirl it as it's much less obnoxious.

I live in the same town where they roast it. Smells delish on days when the air is thick and humid and you can smell it all over town. However, their coffee is garbage... But, to each their own.

Kind of funny, the specialty coffee world is a definitely a underground one, but once you get in, you’ll stay there haha

Yes. Yes you are.

I drink coffee for the caffeine and the other alkaloids. I drink wine for the ethanol, as long as it tastes ok and doesn't give me a headache. My tombstone probably won't read "He had a refined palate" and I'm fine with that.

where was it, if you don't mind answering? I'm from Argentina, I loved your comment and am also a coffee passionate x

For a realistic view, don't do it. Pick a better but cheaper coffee. Put one side to side to other, without sugar or cream . Smell both and try both. You will see a difference, but will not be like all those caramel oaky orange peel from France stuff. You will notice these flavors eventually and with more experience. Don't pick a super high expensive coffee yet, try others. Hope you like it

I started buying a 13/lb coffee from a local roaster and I can’t go back. It’s one thing you can do every morning to treat yourself so it’s really worth it

If you’ve had $8 coffee all your life, you probably won’t like Geisha on your first try.

There’s a mid price specialty coffee brand called EDG Coffee. I drink it everyday and it’s delicious. You won’t be able to go back to your Safeway select coffee tho lol 😂

even if you would try an exquisite coffe you probably wouldn't even know it You would only recognize that it tastes better than you regular coffe, but wouldn't be able to apreciate how much better it is. Only after trying a variety of specialty coffes you would develope the taste for it and be able to recognize the different taste profiles. Otherwise you could only tell that it tastes good.

Apply that logic across the board. Imagine expressing your love for someone like that. Your hate for your enemies like that. Your scrutiny to information like that. You're hitting on the ineffable truth of the world. We need more people who wholly integrate with experience and relate it with color, expressivity, and honesty to others.

Google your local specialty roaster!

My thoughts exactly.

Google: Sweet Maria's Coffee. Get a stovetop popcorn popper ($20~ish), roast your own. You can be absolutely sure of the quality if you pay attention to detail. I brew with a French press, and a paperless pour over I got on amazon. Do not rely on a machine to make coffee unless you want espresso. Keurig and Mr Coffee are a racket. They make horrible coffee no matter how good your beans are. PS: The guy in this video is rushing through the pour over. You should pour in little circles very slowly so that the coffee coming out the bottom of the cone is the same amount as the water going in the top. He also skipped the pre-bloom and let it bloom in the main pour, that makes diluted coffee.

Go to a Dunn Bros! They have quality coffee and most of the shops have a coffee bean roaster in there so you know you're getting some hella fresh coffee 😊

While some of these are expensive and unique it doesn't make them good. Many people prefer a fuller bodied cup which is probably a medium roast rather than light. All the ones he's describing are very fruity and light. Most people aren't used to their coffee tasting lien that and would prefer more typcisl coffee taste

And of course its all real. There is no cheating, no planning. It’s pure improvisation. Because youtubers never lie

@@anticipayo Who knew that the enthusiast would actually be knowledgeable about his respective element? After developing a reasonably advanced palate and trying beans sourced from dozens of different regions, his performance in the video is pretty realistic, if you ask me.

ShiningFalco yet your claim is unfalsifiable. He is definitely articulated, but I have drank bad, good, and very good coffee over decades and I say there is a scent of BS mixed with the coffee aroma

@@anticipayo It's "unfalsifiable" because coffee flavor is relatively subjective and flavor profiles/notes are typically branded onto a bag based on the observations of a handful of taste-testers fixed in a particular context. Third wave coffee has helped light roasts only recently elude the ashes of obscurity, so perhaps I could recommend trying some Ethiopian beans from a local roaster (Yirgacheffe is a common recommendation in the community). I can personally attest to the fact that, when brewed in my V60, the resulting product tastes like blueberries with a hint of coffee. When prepared as espresso or in a French press, the flavors will typically intermingle with little identity (which is why I'm not personally an advocate for either brewing method). Coffee's a volatile fruit/beverage and, while I don't doubt your own anecdotal experience, Third Wave coffee roasters have provided a completely different perspective of what coffee can be than what I've experienced from most of my local coffee shops (though more are beginning to source from Third Wave roasters and roast their own fruit bombs). Happy brewing!

Fun Fact: When the caffeine wears off from the body, the adenosine produced by the body starts reacting, which can make a person sleepy.

it doesn't work on him anymore lol

Or he can't sleep properly because of the caffeine he takes during the day

he never sleeps

Because it takes longer to grind, prep, brew, and cool the coffee than it does for the caffeine to leave his body

*_CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH_* mmmm

It's something that I genually tried but the only thing it tells me is how much caffeine is in the bean lol

You can also taste acidity and roast flavour, if you train a little. Really helpfull when buying fresh roasted beans

They sell chocolate coated coffee beans where I live.

We sometimes did taste the beans on cupping sessions, but it doesn't say much about what the coffee will be in the cup.

I actually never noticed it till I read this

Jake MacTosh the coffee industry is legitimately born off the backs of pallets, coffee is tasted blind and in large number of samples - people buy the crops that taste better. Some wine vineyards are so well known the name carries more than the flavour. Though it is starting to get a bit like that with coffee (geisha from Panama is a very famous coffee) the coffee is a raw product that undergoes more processes than wine. A barista that works in specialty coffee has to MAKE the coffee, and his pallet will guide that process - so in that way his pallet is crucial to being hireable as a barista, where a wine somalier just has to say weather as wine is good or bad, if a barista makes a bad call on the coffee. It’s very easy to notice.

Yeah, I used to think pretty similarly to this but then 2 years ago I bought a french press and beans from a well-known place called Counter Culture coffee and I haven't drunk commercial coffee in years. Used to love it but now it made me realize why there are so many people that think coffee tastes gross.

All these Epicurious experts are surprisingly good, they really know their stuff. I learned a lot watching these videos.

Jake MacTosh b

Coffee varies widely and just has more variables than wine. For example the exact same coffee will taste completely different if brewed at 180F vs at 200F water temperature. The time it takes to steep, the brewing method, the freshness, are just as important as the origin and source.

LOL I can tell you that coffee tastes like coffee but beans from different regions have a completely different taste from others. My favorite coffee is Colombian coffee. Definitely try out single origin coffees and do a pour over brew and you’ll taste the difference.

Armando M untrue, coffee is a commodity. 99% of the flavor comes from roasting

anticipayo roasting does play a huge role in how the coffee ends up tasting but I wouldn’t say it’s where 99% of the flavor comes from.

Armando M if you were right then coffee wouldn’t be a commodity

@@anticipayo A commodity is any sellable raw material. Location procured does not affect the label, simply if it can be sold. Also, the location's soil has different minerals and vitamins like phosphorus content as well as different climates which inherently affects coffee plant growth and taste. Roasting only imparts the burnt material's flavor if something like wood is used, which mostly isnt, and amount roasted changes the grade but two different companies selling dark roast can taste completely different, due to reasons above.

I tried it a couple of times from different specialty coffee shops. I didn't like it. I really wanted to due to it being around $10 a cup, but couldn't

Jessica, I liked this video a lot and learned some things from it. I have a question for you, or anyone who knows and would like to answer. The expert in this video was weighing out the coffee and the water. I couldn't tell how much of each he was using. What is the best ratio by grams water/coffee? I know it's going to rely on several factors. I use light or medium light roasts of single origin coffee fresh roasted by a local roaster, and I grind a little on the fine side for my drip coffee maker. (I don't have a pour-over. Please be kind. LOL!)

They get it wrong many times (he would, too) when they are not shown the bean nor the brew process but just the look and taste. They also get wine wrong. And stupid sushi. All arrogant and ignorant people.

Could be a racist reviewer. Every lighter bean was more valuable and 'better... LOL.

thepudgyninja this one and the cheese one

It's just the lighter one EVERYTIME!

A lighter roast is definitely a sign of confidence in your own coffee, but most of them were pretty close on color.

what he didn't mention is that the cheaper roasts are mostly dark because they are done on higher temperatures to process the beans quicker, which again is a quantity over quality thing. The problem with that is that the coffe won't be roasted uniformely and often the inner sections of the coffee beans stay almost "raw" and produce certain acids that will taste bad and upset your stomach. A lighter roast is often an indication that the coffe is processed carefully at a lower temperature over a longer period to get a roast thats uniform from the outside to the inside of the beans and also between larger and smaller beans (however, as he explained higher quality coffee will mostly have very similar sized and shaped beans anyways)

Na the cheese one was fairly obvious to me...that could be an indication of too much cheese in my life :P
