    I normally enjoy engaging with this type of blatant stereotyping…but this? Treating Gentoo like it’s a real thing people use irl?

    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?

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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

    Slackware
    As simple as Arch, but more stable.
    The design is almost 100 years old and doesn’t need daily filter updates.

        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.

        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.
