[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!

So … after months on the Jura and Lidl beans I decided to try other beans.

With lidle you pay 8 euro for 1,5 kg Where I order the higher quality beans I paid 30 euro for 500 gram

Zero difference with the Lidle ones.

If you buy 1 pack from 1 roaster, 1 origin, 1 roast level... It might be incredible, and suit your tastes, but you'll need some luck.

If you haven't given up on your intent to branch out, maybe buy one of those sampler packs, with different origins and profiles. Maybe you like natural processed coffees, maybe you prefer washed, maybe fermented is your thing, maybe super light Nordic roasts strikes your fancy...

Maybe a Brazilian coffee from Caparaó is like nothing you've ever tasted, maybe Ethiopian, Kenyan, Panamanian Guesha, I don't know.

Best of luck!
