Wake Up and Coffee

I take prescription medication for acid reflux,but I find brewing with the Chemex system,I see in the background, really helps as well. I think maybe you brewed your coffee with it. I don’t know if this is intrinsically true,but my wife and I both agree that the darker roasts seem to be less acidic as well. Maybe the higher roasting temperature and longer roasting profile has something to do with it. Last but not least,I’ve really wanted to like Stumptown coffee,but I just flat out can’t stand it. My current favorite is www.oldcitycoffee.com in Philadelphia. I love their French Roast as well as their 6 Bean Espresso. They have really clear pictures of their beans,which I find helpful. Buy 5 pounds and the 6th is free with free shipping. Check it out.

Always looking for new roasters, I’ll def check them out. I usually drink coffee from Sump in StL, they make some good stuff as well. I very rarely get GERD but the really citrusy coffees bother me so what you’re saying makes sense.
I do switch between the V60, Chemex, and Aeropress depending on what I’m in the mood for. Chemex is prob my favorite but I think if I really nail it, the V60 is better (albeit inconsistent). Unfortunately, I accidentally bought the bleached Chemex filters and I THINK I taste the paper more than usual. It might just be a mental thing though.

I don’t like the bleached filters either, but always rinse my filters before brewing. I also have a Hario setup which I love as well,and agree it makes the best coffee.

Thanks @Jett129 I just placed an order with Old City. You're local, have you tried Columbe or Reanimator? I like them both

My MiL surprised me with a nice burr grinder for an early Christmas gift. Just made my first cup of Aeropress and it’s great [emoji108]

Nice gift! I have the same one, and a few years in it has been an absolute joy.

Just had a pourover of this wonderful Ethiopean coffee at one of my favorite local roasters–highly, highly recommended.

@steelworker Not local,living in New Jersey. Discovered Old City on a visit to Philadelphia a few years ago. Haven’t tried/heard of the coffees you mentioned.

I love them both though Reanimator has started going the 10oz bag route, that's disappointing- NJ is next to PA that's in the neighborhood to me @Jett129

Just got this one in the mail a couple days ago. Probably the funniest show I’ve ever seen.

It's not you

. 'Brew' one of the filters like a tea bag, it'll have a taste. The video's by James Hoffmann, world barista champion.

I stopped drinking coffee earlier this year. No reason, just felt like something to do. After the hell of a period of withdrawals, I've been fine ever since.. Took around 4 weeks of full on headaches. I feel no better or worse on or off coffee, so haven't started again..
