What your coffee preparation method says about you
What your coffee preparation method says about you
Slackware
As simple as Arch, but more stable.
The design is almost 100 years old and doesn't need daily filter updates.But also it burns the coffee
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.
I've used a moka pot nearly every day for 10 years, never burned my coffee with it. I'm not even sure how you'd do that unless you just completely ignore it when it's done and leave it on the stove forever.
I can't imagine how you burn coffee with a mocha pot.
Like, you'd have to go out of your way and intentionally try to burn coffee with it.
Me too. And a lot of chatter (how are people managing to burn the coffee!?). Classic. Stable. Easy to maintain. Need to take care to get the best results.
Do these work ok on a glass top stove?
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.
Yes
So what's a cup of instant equivalent? Don't tell me it's Windows.
ChromeOS? lol
WSL2
I just need to run this script and I need it fast
Windows is Monster. Will give you your caffeine fix, does what is supposed to do, but will slowly destroy your body.
Linux Mint (Moccamaster) it just chugs along and makes the best coffee possible. Fast and reliable.
$400 for a drip machine?
Must be a Mac user.
270€ on Amazon here, but you sure got a chuckle out of me 😁
1 litre of delicious coffee in 5 minutes is hard to beat though.
It does make good drip coffee though. But best drip coffee imo comes from pour-over, but that can be less convenient and consistent than an automatic machine.
Moccamaster<3
I use debian btw
The analogy works well since its Debian-like, but way more awesome. The Moccamaster is great. As easy to use as a drip, but makes better coffee than the Chemex.
Why is this so accurate (even though I've tried many other distros and coffee makers)
I use this:
Except my stove top is electric.
I use LinuxMint by the way.
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.
القهوة العربية مع الهيل؟
That's the best.
I prefer mine with chocolate actually, but I do like Arabic coffee with cardamom.
NixOS would be like brewing coffee with laboratory equipment and then setting it up for automation.
Well, dammit, now I gotta go try NixOS. Gee, thanks for sending me down the rabbit hole, like I have time for yet another one!
The device you're looking for is called a coffee syphon. Like this one from hario https://www.hario-canada.ca/products/hario-syphon-tca-2
…in a container
I do French Press, where does that put me?
PopOS
I feel like with french press being all manual PopOS isn't the right fit.
I think in this graphic I would replace the Fedora pour-over thing with a French Press because they already did pour-over with Arch.
And then Android is a Starbucks cup.
I'm French Press and I use Fedora.
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.
You've discovered cold brew!
I never have time for waiting for the kettle to boil so I do this on the daily.
Fedora would be a French Press.
Reliable, consistent, hard to screw up, broad information online on how to use one.
That's what I use, it's so much simpler. And I only use the press because my wife refuses to buy me instant coffee, otherwise that's what I'd drink, cause it's so about ease for me. A press is easier to clean
Beware the diterpenes
Very happy to see myself correctly represented. I use a single cup pourover, BTW
Me, a Slackware user: eating raw coffee beans by themselves
My wife is an arch user........... Oh no.
I use Fedora and sometimes Debian (Debian is love! 🌀❤️), and brew my coffee in a moka pot.
I use a french press and endeavouros. don't know what that says...
It says there are at least two of us!
Three now!
Forgot cold brewers.
Looseleaf earl grey and 20 years of debian.
I guess french pressers use BSD.
Can confirm. I'm a Debian user and use a Cuisinart grind and brew I've had for ages. It's actually the second of two of the same model after the first broke following years of loyal service.
I have a Cuisinart grind and brew, which is pushing a decade old at this point. Love the thing and will replace it with something similar if it dies before I do. But, I use Ubuntu on my server and Arch on my desktop. So, not this meme fits, but it is funny.
I normally enjoy engaging with this type of blatant stereotyping....but this? Treating Gentoo like it's a real thing people use irl?
Isn't the coffee prep between Fedora and Arch the same?
Also what says it about me when I use those and the Ubuntu machine?
Oh... Yeah my raspberry and my server run Ubuntu.
My surface uses Fedora
And my computer uses EndeavourOS.
Yeah that checks out.
The jug is bloat
Filtered directly into the mouth.
Fedora and Arch are both pour-over, which is a subset of drip coffee. Would be nice to pick distros that really show that family tree.
CentOS would be an empty coffee tin that still smells like coffee.
I left Debian but Debian didn't leave me, it seems...
I like hot chocolate and use Ubuntu 😋
I use Nixos. And I trink tea.
All of the above plus moka pot, Aeropress, cold brew, french press, and instant.
Just like with OS selection, I hold no allegiance and use the tool that best fits the requirements.
I have a pour over, a french press, and a drip filter.
I use mint xfce, BTW.
I use Debian and use a French French press since 9 years ^^
Also French press (this one) here. It’s great for hot coffee, but I prefer to use it for cold brew. Course grind and let it sit in there for almost a day at room temperature (I put either plastic wrap or an upside down plate to avoids surprise ingredients). Then plunge and pour into a cup for drinking and a storage container for the fridge.
Mostly Xubuntu but also SteamOS and EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma DE.
Would drinking tea be a haiku user
I use a French press and Linux Mint.
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?
I use a drip machine, btw
KDE is an office coffee machine with billion options
It reminds me of most modern microwaves that have bazillion different options and buttons, meanwhile most people just use like the +30 sec button, stop and maybe just maybe the defrost button.
Yeah that seems pretty on point (espresso maker).
Percolator: Mandrake user. Holy god someone's still using that old thing.
Or maybe use Ubuntu so you have time to make the espresso?
Is a bean to cup espresso machine Calculate Linux then?
Filter into a Thermos?
Maybe Tumbleweed? You get bare coffee, with a well built stable base.
Debian (i3 on laptop, headless on homelab).
But apparently my coffee is Arch.
I drink instant coffee. Black.
Hey, I'm no Ubuntu user! ... I'm a linux mint user. /j
i uh.
I don't drink coffee.
Oh I see, you enjoy licking the boot of Big Tea...
(yes im joking)
haven't gotten around to tea yet. Perhaps someday in the future though.
Hah, this checks out for me.
you have four drip coffees and NO French or Turkish? no instant? no teas? laaaaaame. it was already lame with the computer nerd shit but LAAAAME. not even a fkin percolator?
?
Downvoted for lumping tea in with coffee. How dare you.
What if I modded my Keurig to use coffee grounds instead of wasteful k cups? I use Manjaro btw.
I don't drink coffee and I don't have a computer, so I guess it's accurate!
...oh no.
I use a v60 btw
Apparently, I’m a gentoo user.
I use arch by the way
Alright, which one of you has a Gagguino? Just tell us already, no need to create some impetus to bring it up.
I am an Ubuntu user and have one of the cheaper espresso machines out there. I feel very confused, but I’m also new.
My cheap ($100) espresso machine takes less time than a Mr. Coffee/drip machine.
I like the reliable simplicity of my machine but also the gadgety, mechanical, ritual of the thing. It’s an active procedure with parts that have to be loaded, locket together and there’s knobs and buttons and it makes all kinds of fun noises. Sure it’s probably superfluous to the method of creating a tasty caffeine vehicle. But I enjoy the process of making it work.
I use an off-brand clone of a Nespresso machine with off-brand pods. Hannah Montana Linux?
Uboontu. It's the exact same as Ubuntu but you get Ubunto Pro equivalent for cheaper.
Formerly Gentoo, now TumbleWeed user. But this chart doesn't align
I put the ground coffee (a lot of it) in the mug and pour hot water. Stir it a bit later, then the grounds stay put in the bottom usually. I've been told I drink asphalt, but then I just feel like everyone drinks very weak coffee. I do this because I want it to be a quick process, I don't want to buy a fancy machine that requires maintenace, and I want my coffee to have a proper kick.
What distro does this mean?
That sounds like the TempleOS equivalent of coffee methods
LFS guy: chews the unground beans
Okay, I have a Keurig for convenience but I prefer to make my coffee using a method that isn't described here.
If you're wondering, I prefer the French press.
What exactly is the arch one doing? That looks simple and awesome and I hate cleaning my French press.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have one of those for camping but never actually got to trynit
Look into V60 pourover or Aeropress in that case
As somone who just made the move from Mint to Fedora, I hate how accurate that is for me as that was my first thought when I deciding what to install
Ubuntu is instant coffee.
Yeah; that's generally what those Kuerig things make. Individually packaged cups of instant coffee. All the machine does is heat up water to mix with the instant mix in the pod.
Yes, I'm a Fedora user.
And yes, I own the Fedora type coffee thingy.
But I only use Fedora because of the great atomic variants, and I only own that thingy because I don't drink coffee, and it's a cheap way to still offer some to guests.
oooh i have that exact espresso machine (except they’ve mirrored it)! it’s a rancilio silivia… i use fedora and debian with a pinch of al2
I use a Chemex, and I have used Fedora. I'm on Garuda now, which is my favorite, which is Arch based but with extra stuff, so the Chemex makes a lot of sense (fancy pour-over).
apple mac?
Nah, apple would be refusing to learn anything about coffee or coffee making and drive to a store to have the arch user do stuff for them (Philz coffee if you aren't from the bay area)
V60 with chemex filters … good combo.
Repost
My coffee preparation method seems to be closest to the Ubuntu user. I use Pop OS and my coffeemaker is Philips HD7769/00 with an inbuilt bean grinder.
DeLonghi Magnifica EVO.
When I used to use windows, my machine would get progressively slower as I used it. But when I switched to Linux none of that is happening. I haven't reinstalled in 2 years and it's still flying fast af. I wonder to this day as to why the fuck did windows slow down my machine with time
Changes by shitty apps wanting to start with windows and register for context menus.
I've had windows machines run fine for 10 years, and some having trouble at 6 months. The difference being the problematic machines I've made tons of changes, installed tons of risky apps.
I've also run registry cleaners as a test, and it's made a world of difference.
In short: crappy apps make windows run poorly.
Ohhhh I see now, makes sense
looks pretty cool to me
yeah I like this, describes the experience well :)
As a french press user I put the beans in the press vessel, start the water kettle (double checking that water is in), forget about it all so water will have to be reheated, pour water over beans, forget about it all for 15-83 minutes and then finally get to enjoy my coffee.
Will drink it all. And wish I had made more.
What OS for me?
IMO, probably Gentoo, but compiled from source.
And the last time you recompiled the kernel was, at most, 3 days ago.
You put whole beans in your French press?
Windows User: Instant coffee and a kettle (like 99% of people in the world), just walk up and get what you want done in 2 minutes or less, regardless of where the setup is or who owns it
How insightful
I prefer adderall over caffeine, and I use mint btw.
Then what does malt coffee say about me?
What if i use AmogOS?
You will have to film yourself preparing coffee
Edit: and upload it on YouTube
French press but I use arch btw
