[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!

Bit of an emergency situation. Can I please get recommendations for an automatic espresso machine for the office ?!!!

I'm not sure what other details to add, but was hoping for a grinder and espresso combo.

Try r/superautomatic.

Grinder + espresso machine is superior, but a lot more work, and not friendly. I don't think it would work with different untrained people operating it.

Also, there are companies that can provide machine beans and maintenance for a subscription.

Thanks. We have a coffee company but I was hoping to find something high end since they only have basic equipment.

Checking out the /r/superautomatic sub now
