Hey, I’m no Ubuntu user! … I’m a linux mint user. /j
I normally enjoy engaging with this type of blatant stereotyping…but this? Treating Gentoo like it’s a real thing people use irl?
I drink instant coffee. Black.
You know what, this is really accurate. I won’t touch Ubuntu or a pod machine. I will use an old percolator, if necessary, but it’s not something I would ever pick over other options. I also bounce between other distros just as often as I bounce between coffee brewing methods!
I wonder where openSUSE falls on this paradigm? Moka pot, maybe?
What if I modded my Keurig to use coffee grounds instead of wasteful k cups? I use Manjaro btw.
I don’t drink coffee and I don’t have a computer, so I guess it’s accurate!
Excuse me but I’m a Debian user and I’m not using the same system since 10 years.
More like 30 years.
Debian is the Bunn of the Linux world. There forever and constantly working.
you have four drip coffees and NO French or Turkish? no instant? no teas? laaaaaame. it was already lame with the computer nerd shit but LAAAAME. not even a fkin percolator?
?
Downvoted for lumping tea in with coffee. How dare you.
I use Nixos. And I trink tea.
I use this:
Except my stove top is electric.
I use LinuxMint by the way.
As a fan of Arabic Coffee openSUSE would be the closest equivalent. It can be simple or sports car depending on sourcing and hardware.
Mint is more like instant coffee. Fast, easy, with little hardware required, and comes in a variety of prepackaged flavors.
Thank goodness poor openSUSE got some coffee here
That’s just pretentious, man. You do that for the musafir but there’s no way you use that impossible to clean cezve on a daily basis.
Here, use this:
A teaspoon for every little cup of water. Heat it fast until it simmers, stir like crazy for two minutes, pour, then let it froth slightly, then pour again.
I use Arch and Debian depending on what I think is easiest.
القهوة العربية مع الهيل؟
That’s the best.
I prefer mine with chocolate actually, but I do like Arabic coffee with cardamom.
Fedora would be a French Press.
Reliable, consistent, hard to screw up, broad information online on how to use one.
That’s what I use, it’s so much simpler. And I only use the press because my wife refuses to buy me instant coffee, otherwise that’s what I’d drink, cause it’s so about ease for me. A press is easier to clean
Beware the diterpenes
Me, a Slackware user: eating raw coffee beans by themselves
Slackware
As simple as Arch, but more stable.
The design is almost 100 years old and doesn’t need daily filter updates.Do these work ok on a glass top stove?
Yes. Although I recommend getting the stainless steel version. It can work on anything even an induction hob. It’s the one I take travelling.
Yes
But also it burns the coffee
Only when you use it wrong.
That sounds an awful lot like the blaming the user. Maybe it really is the slackware of coffee.
It’s easy to blame the user when they don’t bother to read the manual or follow basic instructions.
So it burns the coffee.
It does not. A regular percolator does, as it circulates the coffee back into the boiling water, unlike a moka pot, where the finished coffee does not sit at the bottom close to the heat, but in the top compartment. You should take it off the stove as soon as it’s done to avoid getting the finished coffee back to a boil or overextracting the coffee but if you do it right, they make really good coffee. There are even some versions that feature a valve, so the coffee is cooked at a higher pressure, getting it a little closer to espresso and producing a nice –albeit short lived – crema.
Hell, mine made crema on the first try. I probably over-pressed the coffee though.
I really like the mocha pot, but I’m a cappucino fan - if only there were a simple way to steam milk. I even have a Bellman, but it takes forever to build up pressure.
You shouldn’t press the coffee in a moka. Leave it as fluffy as you can
Ye, I didn’t know that when I first tried it. Oops!
Just a happy little accident
Tbh confused how you even managed to burn the coffe with this, as it is just evaporating water that filters through the coffee above - like did you put the coffee in the bottom part? 🤔
I haven’t experienced this, but from what I hear if you start with cooler water in the bottom and have the heat set too high, you can overheat the pot and the grounds before the water comes to temp to actually brew.
The few times I’ve used my moka pot I’ve preheated the water in a kettle so it gets to brewing faster (based on coffee people recommendations online.)
This is the correct way to do it.
Boil the water first, pour it in the bottom, place coffee in section on top, screw on top part, heat till it brews out the too, then remove from heat as soon as it’s done.
I use refrigerated filtered water in mine. Maybe I just don’t set the heat too high though? I use a coil stovetop and put the knob around 7.5/10. Coffee takes 7-8 minutes after I turn it on.
I’ve used a moka pot nearly every day for 10 years, never burned my coffee with it. I’m not even sure how you’d do that unless you just completely ignore it when it’s done and leave it on the stove forever.
I can’t imagine how you burn coffee with a mocha pot.
Like, you’d have to go out of your way and intentionally try to burn coffee with it.
Me too. And a lot of chatter (how are people managing to burn the coffee!?). Classic. Stable. Easy to maintain. Need to take care to get the best results.
I prepare my coffee in a cup, and drink it with grounds. No milk, no sugar.
I am an embedded developer.
Sometimes when I’m too lazy to boil water, I leave coffee grounds with cold water in a cup overnight, the coffee is strong enough in the morning, and no need to wait for it to cool.
You’ve discovered cold brew!
I never have time for waiting for the kettle to boil so I do this on the daily.
What exactly is the arch one doing? That looks simple and awesome and I hate cleaning my French press.
It’s essentially a funnel with a flat base. I just cut the bottom of one of mine to be more flat and works just as well.
It IS simple and awesome, and it can be cheap af. Got mine from a dollarstore 2 decades ago and I still love it more than any other coffee prep.
I have one of those for camping but never actually got to trynit
Oh my goodness you are in for a treat! Pourover coffee is in my opinion the best way to prepare a cup. Get yourself a v60, and the paper filters that go with it, watch a James Hoffman video on proper v60 technique, and enjoy. It should actually give a cleaner cup (less residue) than the French press.
It’s simply, filter paper, coffee mug. With plastic cone thingy in between to hold the filter paper above the cup
It’s the same as Debian really, it just looks more primitive.
It’s basically a direct drip system with a filter. It won’t be quite as strong as french press since the grounds don’t get the same surface area to interact with the hot water. Same with the Fedora.
They are both still pretty good depending on the beans, but they wont ever compare to a gourmand gentoo setup. That ends up creamy, airy, and strong with no additives. That said the effort and money to make this work isn’t worth it to anyone not heavily invested in it either for a business or for their own whim.
I am lazy and hate cleaning so this is cool to me
Look into V60 pourover or Aeropress in that case
