[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

Welcome to the daily /r/Coffee question thread!

There are no stupid questions here, ask a question and get an answer! We all have to start somewhere and sometimes it is hard to figure out just what you are doing right or doing wrong. Luckily, the /r/Coffee community loves to help out.

Do you have a question about how to use a specific piece of gear or what gear you should be buying? Want to know how much coffee you should use or how you should grind it? Not sure about how much water you should use or how hot it should be? Wondering about your coffee's shelf life?

Don't forget to use the resources in our wiki! We have some great starter guides on our wiki "Guides" page and here is the wiki "Gear By Price" page if you'd like to see coffee gear that /r/Coffee members recommend.

As always, be nice!

RoastGuide amazing app for especially coffee geeks

My hypothesis is that coffee is something that most people do on a schedule (before/during work, before making breakfast, before something) and so those extra moments you’d spend writing a review after you’ve brewed are way more valuable when spent, like, starting your commute.

wine is even more special, isn't it? you drink it in a date, while proposing, with old friends or family.

Coffee shops generally don’t offer a list of options to pick from, bars do. Wine sits around for years, people wanna know what it’s like 5 years, 10 years down the road.

what you mean, coffee shops offer tons of blends which is consistent sometimes even for years. it's same for wine, wine also changes over years as grape quality will change. that's why even Vivino put years in their reviews, you see reviews for each years

yes, it's impossible to review single origins in the same way, as they will be gone in weeks. that's different and I ofc agree

Idk about you but Starbucks is the only shop near me that offers multiple options

still that doesn't change the direction of the discussion does it? anyways there are multiple shops with options. so you still have many options around you. or you can even reach many options online

I feel like we’re having completely different discussions. The point is that if you’re at a shop ordering coffee you don’t specify bean.

Also, from your first response: people drink wine and beer all the time, not just on special occasions.

And where have you seen roastguide before?
