Making coffee from scratch (is hard)

[@ChronicGamer420]

I like how Nile is smart enough to synthesize chemicals yet not smart enough to use a seive to get the floaters out and drain the water a bit to make it easier to get the sinkers. No Nile, uses his hand to fish out the floaters then trys to grab them as they moon gravity float away. 10/10

[@zinoubensalah8939]

painful to watch

Might have something to do with making an entertaining video as well. How fun would it be to watch someone do flawless processes with virtually no chance of failure?

I thought he'd let them go moldy on purpose because he was trying to do a mucilage fermentation process.

You ever randomly check a channel and it turns out they've just posted? That's me. That's me right now.

[@TheFeltmeister]

Just subscribe wtf

[@asbel_kk]

@TheFeltmeister The point is that I don't watch the channel regularly enough to consider subscribing, so catching it on a recent upload seems more exceptional - because it's random.

[@Jupiter_Eight]

Apperently making cola from gloves are easier than baking and grounding coffee

[@bluedreamersen3189]

Only at 19:50 right now, and Nile. Word of advice for anything cooking ever, unless it says otherwise or the intention is to sear it, start with lower heat and more time for best results. Good rule of thumb when heating anything edible. Other than that I love the vids and keep it up, hope this helps.

[@Galerak1]

And possibly go with how the things look rather than strict time limits. Those beans looked done at 28:30 but he still stuck them back in and cranked up the heat. I'm not a roaster or a chef but common sense tells me that when something looks done you don't whack up the heat and throw it back in the oven 🤣

[@GlowChronicles]

There’s something about watching Nile do things that makes it way more entertaining than just learning about the process somewhere else. Like, I could’ve watched a ‘how coffee is made’ video anywhere, but seeing him go through it step-by-step with his own style just hits different. Love his vibe!

This is the earliest I’ve caught a Nile video and I just recently mentioned him to my Dad after watching for years, I’ve only ever seen him drink like 4 things and Coffee is one so the timing is amazing. Hope to see more in 2025, much love brother!

[@simplyhistory3998]

Nile: Creates really cool and complex chemistry projects Also Nile: Struggles making coffee

Why didn’t he try the fruit?! That’s the only thing worth eating before you can actually do anything with the seed.

[@expired1232]

[@michelekhefets7722]

Nigel has taught us that chemistry and cooking do not go hand-in-hand

[@MaxArceus]

Dude sees them smoking and turning black, and is somehow surprised when they end up burnt

[@WigneyR]

1:25 that’d be because they only grow in about 5 or 6 places in the world Nile, not because people just don’t want to grow it in Canada, it’s borderline impossible without spending a tonne of money making a perfect habitat to grow them in

[@caseynash5318]

[@ricardoaguayo6355]

You can feed the seeds to an animal, collect them again from their droppings and see if it really makes a difference 😂 Love your videos, mate!

[@mckidney1]

Pretty sure freezing extracts non-solubles towards the surface and causes lower density once it the surface defrosted in the bath. Increasing the number of floaters.

[@Darkime_]

7:40 Ah, yes, the most authentic type of coffee, hand peeled by a random dude in a chemistry lab

[@Degenerecy]

From what I gather the floating vs sinking bean is because of density, the more dense, the richer the flavor. I'm sure though large coffee use the floaters since its waste product.

[@suffix_affix]

i love how his channel is just slowly transitioning to becoming a cooking channel using science equipments

[@Dusterisp]

This is a little random but the aesthetic of the NileBlue shirt is just such a perfect touch.

[@brian_barnett]

My favorite coffee company used to have the best medium dark roast coffee and then they got famous and the coffee never tasted the same. Maybe Nile can make the perfect roasted coffee for us now. The science of the perfect roast by Nile.

Just use an air popcorn popper! The thermal interface of a pan is just not what you want. And an air fryer is better, but I don't believe the air is usually hot enough

[@silviucambesteanu7230]

Dude you need a decent coffee roaster. Something which can be temp precise and pay 100% attention towards the end of the process because 1 min or 30 Sec can change between brown to black. You need to start super hot with preheat and drop the power towards end short before reaching the first crack.
