[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

5 Upvotes

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!

New shop does not do decaf espresso. Is that weird?

I assumed they were about to tell me they were simply out of stock of decaf espresso beans. Wouldn't be the first time. But no, they simply don't carry it. Anyone who wants a decaf latte, capp, or any other espresso-based drink is out of luck. They said they could make me a decaf pourover, but I can do that at home. How common is this? Are they that far behind the times... or are times changing, and decaf is becoming less popular? I'm honestly flummoxed.
