I FINALLY FINISHED EDITING THIS MONSTER.
(Also, I just got a new mic setup and I know there are a few parts of this video where I'm slightly out of sync with the audio but I'm still on a learning curve with the editing so it'll be better next time! Promise!) Anyways, here y'all go, this is officially the longest video I've ever made so uh, hope y'all gain some insightful knowledge from it. Should I do this again? Where would you want to see coffee from?

For what it’s worth, most video editing software has an automated means for synchronizing separate audio and video sources (by using the camera’s audio to line things up), which makes A/V sync a lot easier. Also all things being equal it’s best to have the video slightly ahead, since we tend not to notice that as much (since we’re used to there being a slight audio delay in real life due to the speed of sound being only 1 foot per millisecond). Another trick I like to use is to unmute the camera audio and just listen, and nudge it around until there’s no audible delay between the two versions of the sound. Don’t do your sync by trying to line up the sound to your lips, that’s a really hard way to do it and usually doesn’t sound very natural. Another thing you can do to make things easier is to start every video take by clapping once, loudly, which will give you a nice visual indicator of where the audio waveforms should line up.

I really love how non judgmental you are about things like ground coffee, flavored coffees, and decaf coffee. I've been a barista for 9 years and have trained countless baristas and had endless conversations with customers and the sheer volume of snootiness about "decaf is just hot brown gross water" and "flavored coffee is lying to yourself" has really driven me crazy. I love being able to grind my own coffee to fit my needs, but my absolute favorite coffee blend of all times is from Target, their Archer Farms Hot Buttered Rum Light Roast Coffee. Yes, it straight up smells like candy, and that aroma will fill the kitchen for the whole day and it just makes me so happy. Similar to your vanilla blend, the flavor is more muted after it's brewed. I feel like that "aroma" is more the experience than the actual flavor itself. Really enjoyed this video :)

I noticed how excited you were for the instant premixed coffee. I've tried many of these before and have found that i HIGHLY prefer many korean brands, like Namyang and Maxim. I've learned that they do tend to have more sugar than i would prefer. I shake the packet up and down for 10-20 seconds before opening. This lets the lighter weighted instant coffee and milk powder rise to the top and the heavier sugar crystals drop down. Then pinch the bottm before you dump it into your cup, adjust as you wish.

I agree. For instant premix, I also really like Maxim, specifically the mocha flavor (taste like regular coffee to me, not mocha, but it’s good). Super handy for camping and the occasional hankering for that particular flavor. I haven’t tried Namyang but I’ll check it out!

That Illy is ground for filter. You can tell by the little symbol on the bottom front of the can. They have specific grinds for every brewing method. My personal choice is the classic roast (the red ring) ground for Moka. It's the perfect camping coffee, verry pleasent, round and mellow. Their darker roasts are verry bitter and might work for espresso but not for anything else.

As a former (almost) self proclaimed TJs junkie, I enjoyed this video lol. A big fan of the bottled cold brews. Agreed, the nitro isn't the best. With the understanding that TJs takes private labeling to the next level, some of these products can be found elsewhere. The whole bean coffee is hit or miss. Since roast dates aren't disclosed, I usually have a better experience with the beans within the first few days of opening the package. If you're on a budget and need convenient drip coffee, the medium roast TJ coffee is one to go to. Also not sure if they changed the policy for covid, but in the store you're allowed to ask to sample just about anything. My friend works there. Also they do have a coffee cart sampling station. In my area even during covid they would brew and leave it for self serve, not sure if that changed. I only stopped shopping there because they don't have a delivery service.

@@beccaboybaby bummer. I am not allergic, but I'm extremely sensitive to caffeine. Didn't do any for years and then discovered that strong coffee gets rid of migraine headaches (most of the time) which I get once every 3 or 4 weeks. Then I discovered I could do a small amount just before going on a hike or bicycle ride and I'd hike faster and enjoy it more! But small amount is something that normal coffee drinkers would laugh at. I count out 11 beans, 13 if I want to go really fast. Grind them in a hand held grinder, bring 1/2 cup water to boil, take it off the heat, stir in the ground beans, put a lid on the pan and let steep for 5 minutes. Pour thru a fine meshed strainer and enjoy. Oh, and by the way, decaf weirds me out more than a small amount of regular coffee. Don't know why that is, but I steer clear of it.

Being raised Mormon, I didn't drink coffee. Post divorce, many years later, one of my daughters shared a swig of a frozen triple shot mocha. I could see why it was so addicting. I didn't need the additional anxiety from caffeine while raising 7 as a single Mom, but I noticed a sample of Joe's (pre-Covid) coffee gave me a couple of moments of false euphoria. During initial Lyme disease, with extreme fatigue and brain fog, to cut through the sleeping sickness nightmare, I'd have a cup occasionally. A New Jersey 74 yr.-Old friend gave me one of those fat little Farberware coffee pots, which makes really fast, hot, good coffee. He found it for $5 at a thrift store. 2 T. Beans ground fresh, 1.5 c. of water, and half n half without the Rbst or maybe organic, some raw sugar... and I had a cup of comfort. Jim and I had a weekly phone coffee 'date' on Sunday to touch base, until he rudely died on me. Things change in life. I miss my friend. He made the best cold cut sandwiches....and though male, not being a lengthy talker, I appreciated his evolution per phone call and his company. Now I've drifted to organic decaf, but Swiss processed only, as the carbon dioxide exuding process gave me stomach pain and instant bloat, like ulcers. It might be that processing with CO2 makes coffee more acidic or has some residue or chemical reaction. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. I've noticed people can tend to be connoisseurs of coffee, roasts and blends, suppliers, etc. Thank you for your thorough TJoe's investigation efforts...viewed on a Sunday morning.

Illy is very well known coffee brand in Italy, I would say it's the most premium consumer grade coffee there is on the shelves, it's widely used in bars for espresso, and in the store it can be found in 4 different grinds (beside different roasting grades for each of the grinds): whole coffee, moka pot, espresso and filter, the tin has the same form factor for all of them but you can see the symbol and description on the front, you had the filetr coffee one. I usually use the classic (medium roast) for espresso and I really like it as an everyday espresso, crema is good, aromas are good, but tend to the darker side and for a pre ground coffee isn't that bad.

Before watching: I had a few of Trader Joe's coffee before. Their (now discontinued, because of course Trader Joe's) K-cup compatible pods were pretty decent, I wasn't impressed with a French roast can, and I think I had their vanilla canned cold brew, which tasted to me like liquid that vaguely tasted like coffee. And their nitro was very... meh. I think I've had nitro from Starbucks once and thinking, "Not sure what all the fuss is about, this tastes like Starbucks cold brew, i.e. their acidic iced coffee." I'll definitely get their decaf to try out. Maybe make a big batch of cold brew to drink in the afternoon. The cold brew powder reminded me of the "instant iced coffee" Starbucks sold a couple of years before cold brew really exploded on the market. It wasn't very good. I tend to dilute cold brew concentrate with whatever milk-like thing I'm putting into coffee, like Trader Joe's almond milk, so in the very unlikely event I run out of coffee beans, I will get me a bottle of the concentrate. Then again, I like my concentrate stupidly strong for some reason. I guess I like being kicked in the face by my coffee. Edit: It also took me way too long to realize that oily beans are often RANCID beans because that surface oil is surely oxidized by the time I get the beans home.
