Hey, I'm no Ubuntu user! ... I'm a linux mint user. /j

I normally enjoy engaging with this type of blatant stereotyping....but this? Treating Gentoo like it's a real thing people use irl?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

You know what, this is really accurate. I won't touch Ubuntu or a pod machine. I will use an old percolator, if necessary, but it's not something I would ever pick over other options. I also bounce between other distros just as often as I bounce between coffee brewing methods!

I wonder where openSUSE falls on this paradigm? Moka pot, maybe?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I drink instant coffee. Black.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I don't drink coffee and I don't have a computer, so I guess it's accurate!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

What if I modded my Keurig to use coffee grounds instead of wasteful k cups? I use Manjaro btw.

Excuse me but I'm a Debian user and I'm not using the same system since 10 years.

More like 30 years.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Debian is the Bunn of the Linux world. There forever and constantly working.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

I use this:

Except my stove top is electric.

I use LinuxMint by the way.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As a fan of Arabic Coffee openSUSE would be the closest equivalent. It can be simple or sports car depending on sourcing and hardware.

Mint is more like instant coffee. Fast, easy, with little hardware required, and comes in a variety of prepackaged flavors.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Thank goodness poor openSUSE got some coffee here

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That's just pretentious, man. You do that for the musafir but there's no way you use that impossible to clean cezve on a daily basis.

Here, use this:

A teaspoon for every little cup of water. Heat it fast until it simmers, stir like crazy for two minutes, pour, then let it froth slightly, then pour again.

I use Arch and Debian depending on what I think is easiest.

Fedora would be a French Press.

Reliable, consistent, hard to screw up, broad information online on how to use one.

Slackware
As simple as Arch, but more stable.
The design is almost 100 years old and doesn't need daily filter updates.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do these work ok on a glass top stove?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

Yes. Although I recommend getting the stainless steel version. It can work on anything even an induction hob. It’s the one I take travelling.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (8 children)

But also it burns the coffee

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Only when you use it wrong.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That sounds an awful lot like the blaming the user. Maybe it really is the slackware of coffee.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago

It's easy to blame the user when they don't bother to read the manual or follow basic instructions.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

So it burns the coffee.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It does not. A regular percolator does, as it circulates the coffee back into the boiling water, unlike a moka pot, where the finished coffee does not sit at the bottom close to the heat, but in the top compartment. You should take it off the stove as soon as it’s done to avoid getting the finished coffee back to a boil or overextracting the coffee but if you do it right, they make really good coffee. There are even some versions that feature a valve, so the coffee is cooked at a higher pressure, getting it a little closer to espresso and producing a nice –albeit short lived – crema.

Downvoted for lumping tea in with coffee. How dare you.

Me, a Slackware user: eating raw coffee beans by themselves

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I prepare my coffee in a cup, and drink it with grounds. No milk, no sugar.

I am an embedded developer.

Sometimes when I'm too lazy to boil water, I leave coffee grounds with cold water in a cup overnight, the coffee is strong enough in the morning, and no need to wait for it to cool.

Linux Mint (Moccamaster) it just chugs along and makes the best coffee possible. Fast and reliable.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago (4 children)

$400 for a drip machine?

Must be a Mac user.

So what's a cup of instant equivalent? Don't tell me it's Windows.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Windows is Monster. Will give you your caffeine fix, does what is supposed to do, but will slowly destroy your body.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago

ChromeOS? lol

What exactly is the arch one doing? That looks simple and awesome and I hate cleaning my French press.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

It's essentially a funnel with a flat base. I just cut the bottom of one of mine to be more flat and works just as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

It IS simple and awesome, and it can be cheap af. Got mine from a dollarstore 2 decades ago and I still love it more than any other coffee prep.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I have one of those for camping but never actually got to trynit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Oh my goodness you are in for a treat! Pourover coffee is in my opinion the best way to prepare a cup. Get yourself a v60, and the paper filters that go with it, watch a James Hoffman video on proper v60 technique, and enjoy. It should actually give a cleaner cup (less residue) than the French press.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

It's simply, filter paper, coffee mug. With plastic cone thingy in between to hold the filter paper above the cup

It's the same as Debian really, it just looks more primitive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It's basically a direct drip system with a filter. It won't be quite as strong as french press since the grounds don't get the same surface area to interact with the hot water. Same with the Fedora.

They are both still pretty good depending on the beans, but they wont ever compare to a gourmand gentoo setup. That ends up creamy, airy, and strong with no additives. That said the effort and money to make this work isn't worth it to anyone not heavily invested in it either for a business or for their own whim.

I am lazy and hate cleaning so this is cool to me

I like hot chocolate and use Ubuntu 😋

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Very happy to see myself correctly represented. I use a single cup pourover, BTW

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

NixOS would be like brewing coffee with laboratory equipment and then setting it up for automation.
