Nope. But it’s not anywhere close to 3000 degrees. That’s the flame temp not the temp of the cup.

You aren't going to burn coffee with 100C water. Give me a break.
You're correct... the proper term would be "overextract". @ ~95 C you'll start getting undesirable flavor compounds.
SherMattLockSmith
Percolators are scorned because they over-extract the coffee to all hell with boiling water, making it bitter. A short extraction is fine.
ZAPZAPMOTHAFUCKA
Yeah you can't boil it for ever... I usually get mine boiling, and then let it go just long enough to see a little brown in the bulb.
If you wait until it's dark in the bulb, it's going to be very bitter.

Is it just me or does the word coffee look wierd as shit now that ive had to read it 10 times through this thread
sha13
That's because it was done wrong. Once it starts boiling you remove it and you pour it in a glass. It has richer aroma than an espresso.
RustyRelic
Water should never be over 190º F. Otherwise burnt coffee is bitter. You like bitter, then knock yourself out.
Frc3773
Um espresso?
latinomartino
Espresso machines are very good about keeping the water you use at very specific temperatures. Under boiling.
Leithoa
Even moka pots heat to above 'boiling". They raise the pressure to increase boiling temps above 210-212F (99-100c).
Thank you
Counterfit
But the water that actually does the brewing isn't that high: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moka_pot check notes 9 and 10
Espresso works by forcing steam (boiled water) through grounds
Only cheap machines use steam for the pressure. Anything actually worth buying will have a pump of some sort.
They do not? They push water out at high pressures. Definitely not steam. Source:was a barista for two years.
Cheap home machines use steam as the pressure source for the water, that's about it.
Scored? I fucking love my percolator. Apparently y'all don't know how to use it right. The only problem with them is their not quick.

Or just use a French press
CthulhusGreasyBallsack
French press and cold brew are the only ways to make coffee, in my opinion.

AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
HELLO I AM FROM THE YEAR 1984 AND EVERY SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSROOM IN MIDDLE AMERICA HAS TERRIBLE COFFEE IN A PERCOLATOR
It's ok to love something that's bad. But seriously, I've never seen a real connoisseur use one for that reason.
and if you do like it, put that same grind in a press or chemex and taste the difference.
I have. My wife has a press. Percolator beats it, but that's just my opinion.
AzraelArtz
My guy....youre just coming off as pretentious at this point. Its also ok to not like things but dont be a dick about it either.
ruint
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AeroPress these are under £30 on amazon. It's a plunger with a filter. Super simple. You'll fall in love again
My wife has a press. I'll take my percolator thanks.
This isn't a french press, i'd call it a hand operated espresso machine but the air pressure is too low.
If you like your coffee bitter there's no reason to change. You can make aeropress coffee at 5x strength without bitterness. <3 caffeine!
mamaneedscoffee
That's my husband's go to!
Couldn’t get into aeropress, prefer the Chemex. But def would recommend it to someone taking the next step beyond French press.
did you give the inverted method a go? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXEyvyHUnkM standard way doesn't work for me either :(
I can’t remember. Borrowed it from a friend but it just made me want a Chemex pot.
Chemex looks nice though. If my aeropress breaks i will give it a shot :)

coffee beans are literally roasted
So is beef but you don't wait till it's charcoal to eat it.
You are correct. The *beans* are roasted. The grounds are not. You cut them up and they behave and extract differently.
GhostGuy
Roasted, not burned. Unless you're talking Starbucks or similarly dark roasted coffee, which is shit. Coffee is best when brewed between >
Dark roast rocks and is easier to your stomach
I like dark roasts, I just don't like *extremely* dark roasts, and burned roasts. I'd rather taste notes of the coffee instead of pure roast
> about 180-195. Anything more than that is pushing it. Boiling is 212, way past the sweet spot.
Bloody hell there's nothing wrong with Starbucks. There's a reason theyre so big. People like them. Their coffee is fine. Starbucks is fine.
deebaser
Let’s not kid ourselves, Starbucks is big because they serve 500 calorie coffee flavored sugar bombs. Coffee hipsters are still ridiculous

Sacrifice on the third wednesday of March underneath a full moon to have REAL coffee"

Hahahaha truer words have never been spoken.

The cream, on the other hand, is only available on the third tuesday of the month.
ThatWelshIdiot
Shit, i was wondering why my last batch didnt come out properly.

Or just use a French press
CthulhusGreasyBallsack
French press and cold brew are the only ways to make coffee, in my opinion.

2. As in, I don't think they scorn percolators. I think they're not even aware it's an option.

HELLO I AM FROM THE YEAR 1984 AND EVERY SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSROOM IN MIDDLE AMERICA HAS TERRIBLE COFFEE IN A PERCOLATOR

It's ok to love something that's bad. But seriously, I've never seen a real connoisseur use one for that reason.
sometimesidontevenknowwhyibother
and if you do like it, put that same grind in a press or chemex and taste the difference.
ZAPZAPMOTHAFUCKA
I have. My wife has a press. Percolator beats it, but that's just my opinion.
AzraelArtz
My guy....youre just coming off as pretentious at this point. Its also ok to not like things but dont be a dick about it either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AeroPress these are under £30 on amazon. It's a plunger with a filter. Super simple. You'll fall in love again

My wife has a press. I'll take my percolator thanks.
ruint
This isn't a french press, i'd call it a hand operated espresso machine but the air pressure is too low.
ruint
If you like your coffee bitter there's no reason to change. You can make aeropress coffee at 5x strength without bitterness. <3 caffeine!

That's my husband's go to!

Couldn’t get into aeropress, prefer the Chemex. But def would recommend it to someone taking the next step beyond French press.
ruint
did you give the inverted method a go? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXEyvyHUnkM standard way doesn't work for me either :(
MetroidPrimeHesTheBest
I can’t remember. Borrowed it from a friend but it just made me want a Chemex pot.
ruint
Chemex looks nice though. If my aeropress breaks i will give it a shot :)

coffee beans are literally roasted
Leithoa
So is beef but you don't wait till it's charcoal to eat it.
sometimesidontevenknowwhyibother
You are correct. The *beans* are roasted. The grounds are not. You cut them up and they behave and extract differently.
GhostGuy
Roasted, not burned. Unless you're talking Starbucks or similarly dark roasted coffee, which is shit. Coffee is best when brewed between >
sha13
Dark roast rocks and is easier to your stomach
GhostGuy
I like dark roasts, I just don't like *extremely* dark roasts, and burned roasts. I'd rather taste notes of the coffee instead of pure roast
GhostGuy
> about 180-195. Anything more than that is pushing it. Boiling is 212, way past the sweet spot.
ThatWelshIdiot
Bloody hell there's nothing wrong with Starbucks. There's a reason theyre so big. People like them. Their coffee is fine. Starbucks is fine.
deebaser
Let’s not kid ourselves, Starbucks is big because they serve 500 calorie coffee flavored sugar bombs. Coffee hipsters are still ridiculous
ThatWelshIdiot
My wife works in a starbucks and the majority of what they sell are capuccinos and lattes. Sure the frappes make up a significant amount of
GhostGuy
People are just used to shitty coffee.
ThatWelshIdiot
Sure. Or, hear me out here; people like their coffee. I like their coffee. So do my friends. It's nice. People have opinions.
