i'm looking for a new travel mug and can't find all the attributes i want in one. must be microwaveable, for starters.

Can a straw be used with this cup?Answer: Thank you for your question. Of course it is. But you need to pay attention to the diameter of the straw, and the width of the mouth is 0.196inch/5mm. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us, we are glad to assit you.
you're probably right, silby. i'm looking. amazon has so many random chinese brands now. i'm probably going to buy something that will give me lead poisoning. i want to get thishttps://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81R79oUGe9L._SL1500_.jpg

are those things actually good? they look kind of bad. i'm suspicious.

i like mine. with a rubber grip rather than cork (according to Ed the cork can be hard to clean). you can get a double-walled one.

Big fan of my keep cup. If you are looking for an insulated mug that keeps coffee hot for a long time this isn’t it. It’s more of a disposable espresso drinks cup. If I were in a the market for a insulated bu type thing I’d get one of the Chinese/Japanese bottle style ones. Kinto makes a good one, I bought my brother one for Xmas a few years back and he loves one. I was just in a Japanese kitchen things store and the T-Fal ones look great. Good spring loaded flippy lid.

What is now my daily coffee place in Sapporo does a great drip coffee service. Pick up your own stainless steel Insulated coffee bottle filled with coffee to your liking, (beans of choice, hot, iced, milk sugar, whatever) every morning as you pass by, drop it back on your way home and settle up once a week.

I teach early this semester and realized that neither my aeropress nor my pourover thing fit the mouth of my insulated travel mug so I have to make coffee in some other vessel and pour it in which makes me irrationally angry

oof that really grinds my beans
― provisional ilx (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 September 2019 16:46 (four years ago) link
I've had my French press for awhile, it doesn't show how many cups the water level is, but I have a good sense of where to pour it til so that it's strong and that I'm not using too many beans.
― Piano Mouth, Sunday, 15 September 2019 17:03 (four years ago) link

I spaced out and poured tepid water into my Aeropress this morning; thereby ruining 21 grams of my current favorite beans (Counter Culture's "Big Trouble" blend) that I just spent 2 minutes hand-grinding. I wanted to weep. Life is brutal.
― beard papa, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 22:50 (four years ago) link
I've done the same. The "must have coffee to remember how to make coffee" dilemma is something we all fall to
― babu frik fan account (mh), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 23:04 (four years ago) link
bp soothe yourself by buyin an electric burr grinder imo.
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 23:17 (four years ago) link
I have done that in my aeropress before but I have low standards so I just press out the tepid water out and use the same grounds and do it again.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 23:18 (four years ago) link
I also don't understand this 'measuring' coffee grounds concept.

I recently came back to the coffeepot realizing it be clear water in the beaker - not having ppoured water into the correct spot on top

I also don't understand this 'measuring' coffee grounds concept.― Yerac
do you mean with a scale, or do you just pour grounds into your vessel of choice without any measurement?
I don't think I could do that latter. And haven't yet bothered getting a scale, but then if you weigh the coffee you may as well weigh the water and then it just starts getting a bit too much minutae.
― medicate for all (outdoor_miner), Wednesday, 15 January 2020 23:42 (four years ago) link
it takes like one second!
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 23:46 (four years ago) link
fair enough. i thought i would've gotten a scale by now to do all that. but it's winter and want the cof asap in the morning so i just keep making turkish coffee with cardamom in the morning. that is literally <2 minutes from start to finish

I don't measure, just use a scoop and eyeball the amount to generally correlate with the amount of water I use
― Dan S, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 23:57 (four years ago) link
post, yeah I don't measure coffee. I just kind of eyeball it. I try not to make it for anyone else or even myself if I can get away with it.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 23:57 (four years ago) link
I think somewhere above or another another thread I was complaining about a previous roommate throwing out hot water in a kettle, after I just made myself coffee, every single time because they needed the water to be the perfect temp and needed to start the boiling from scratch. I always had to walk away. I already have my subjects I am very uptight about and coffee is not one of them.
― Yerac, Thursday, 16 January 2020 00:01 (four years ago) link
scoop and "close enough" temperature is fine, pre-ground is fine, the planet is dying for gods sake
― Banáná hÉireann (darraghmac), Thursday, 16 January 2020 00:03 (four years ago) link
yes x2
― Dan S, Thursday, 16 January 2020 00:05 (four years ago) link
I always scoop in a little bit more when I have guests because most of my friends like really strong coffee
Planet is dying so I take pleasure in the things I can such as makin coffee like I’m a damn scientist
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Thursday, 16 January 2020 01:01 (four years ago) link
not saying u have to measure i actually do not even possess a scale rn but i have measured in the past and tuning yr recipe can make u a nice cup of coffee if u like such things, and its not much effort
― lag∞n, Thursday, 16 January 2020 01:02 (four years ago) link
and then if u get some diff beans and feel like the brew is too weak or whatever u have a baseline to adjust from
― lag∞n, Thursday, 16 January 2020 01:03 (four years ago) link
Ha, I wrote the exact same thing as silby. So many things in life I can't control - the least I can do is take a few extra seconds to make a perfect cup each morning.
― beard papa, Thursday, 16 January 2020 01:04 (four years ago) link
the coffee thing im actually a psycho for is a burr grinder, if i didnt have one id def 1000x rather grind at the store than use a blade grinder

id rather have no coffee device and just make cowboy coffee (which is awesome tbf) and have a burr grinder than not have the grinder
