Aeropress gang representing.
I run debbie kde plasma x11 btw-
I was gonna say, how do you know an aeropress/nixos user - they'll tell you. But Debian works too 😂
-
Aeropress and PopOs
-
Aeropress and Fedora! Apparently I should use Chemex instead
-
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.
-
Its not a drip machine though, it's more like a Chemex that doesn't require you to do the pouring.
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
Thank goodness poor openSUSE got some coffee here
-
-
-
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 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.
-
That fits. Just like Android, Starbucks coffee is well made, by someone who isn't you.
The quality of the final product is still in question though.
-
And then Android is a Starbucks cup.
That does Android a huge disservice. Android is a well made Nescafe. It's not the coffee of your choice, but it is stable and reliable, and doesn't make a fuss if you pour other coffees into it.
-
The pour-over thing is called Chemex just FYI. It's supposed to be different than regular pour-over. I use Fedora...
-
-
I'm French Press and I use Fedora.
-
-
Fedora would be a French Press.
Reliable, consistent, hard to screw up, broad information online on how to use one.
-
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.
-
-
Very happy to see myself correctly represented. I use a single cup pourover, BTW
-
Me, a Slackware user: eating raw coffee beans by themselves
-
Excuse me but I'm a Debian user and I'm not using the same system since 10 years.
More like 30 years.
-
-
My wife is an arch user........... Oh no.
-
I use a french press and endeavouros. don't know what that says...
-
It says there are at least two of us!
-
Three now!
-
-
-
I use Fedora and sometimes Debian (Debian is love! 🌀❤️), and brew my coffee in a moka pot.
-
Forgot cold brewers.
-
Looseleaf earl grey and 20 years of debian.
-
I guess french pressers use BSD.
-
-
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.
-
-
-
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 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.
-
-
-
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.
-
I normally enjoy engaging with this type of blatant stereotyping....but this? Treating Gentoo like it's a real thing people use irl?
-
-
Filter into a Thermos?
-
Maybe Tumbleweed? You get bare coffee, with a well built stable base.
-
-
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.
-
Is a bean to cup espresso machine Calculate Linux then?
-
I have a pour over, a french press, and a drip filter.
I use mint xfce, BTW.
-
Or maybe use Ubuntu so you have time to make the espresso?
-
I use a drip machine, btw
-
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 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.
-
-
Hah, this checks out for me.
-
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.
-
-
KDE is an office coffee machine with billion options
-
I drink instant coffee. Black.
-
Hey, I'm no Ubuntu user! ... I'm a linux mint user. /j
-
LFS guy: chews the unground beans
-
Percolator: Mandrake user. Holy god someone's still using that old thing.
-
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
-
-
...oh no.
I use a v60 btw
-
Apparently, I’m a gentoo user.
I use arch by the way
-
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 don't drink coffee and I don't have a computer, so I guess it's accurate!
-
What if I modded my Keurig to use coffee grounds instead of wasteful k cups? I use Manjaro btw.
-
Alright, which one of you has a Gagguino? Just tell us already, no need to create some impetus to bring it up.
-
What exactly is the arch one doing? That looks simple and awesome and I hate cleaning my 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.
-
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 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.
-
I have one of those for camping but never actually got to trynit
-
-
I am lazy and hate cleaning so this is cool to me
-
-
Look into V60 pourover or Aeropress in that case
-
-
I prefer adderall over caffeine, and I use mint btw.
-
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).
-
Debian (i3 on laptop, headless on homelab).
But apparently my coffee is Arch.
-
I use an off-brand clone of a Nespresso machine with off-brand pods. Hannah Montana Linux?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
French press but I use arch btw
-
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
-
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
-
DeLonghi Magnifica EVO.
-
What if i use AmogOS?
-
You will have to film yourself preparing coffee
Edit: and upload it on YouTube
-
-

-
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?
-
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
Then what does malt coffee say about me?
-
looks pretty cool to me
yeah I like this, describes the experience well :)

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
Only when you use it wrong.
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.
Tbh confused how you even managed to burn the coffe with this, as it is just evaporating water that filters through the coffee above - like did you put the coffee in the bottom part? 🤔
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.
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.
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
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.
