I still like my swissgold onecup, it's easier to use than a french press and the coffee stays pretty hot.

not really good for volume though, I think probably nothing beats a percolator for making large volumes of coffee w/o too much labor.

yeah i def need more than 1 cup
― tehresa, Monday, 7 June 2010 00:31 (thirteen years ago) link
I've been thinking about getting a regallar ol drip pot, too. I've actually cut back to about 2-3 cups a day, tops, so it's not so much the volume but that when I get up at 6:00 for work it'd be nice to just sorta hit a button and let coffee brew itself while I hop in the shower, instead of waiting around for water to boil on the stove etc.
always waiting for it to cool down enough to drink anyway
Try an ice cube, my man.

i have a one cup filter i got in Hanoi for like the equivalent of 29 cents that makes the best damn drip coffee (no paper filter bs either). it's all stainless steel and so easy to use/clean.

we talkeda bout mint syrup in coffee upthread, but not mint leaves. i think i'd be afraid. i have been drinking trader joe's coffee the past few days and it's ok, not great. i'm gonna go back to fancy coffee soon.

yeah I always cringe when a barista sets down a perfectly made rosetta latte in front of a customer and the customer promptly dumps 2 packets of sugar on top of it

I like sweet coffees--lattes and the like--but not regular brewed coffee. I didn't even like that until a few years ago.

i liked sweet coffees, too. but they're loaded with sugar and calories, i sadly discovered.

Little did I know that my pour-over method (with plastic on-top-of-cup thingie and non-presoaked coffee filters) was a thing! I actully prefer the taste from auto-dripping, but it is too much hassle for just one cup.

this is how the dudes at my coffee shop do it - you may need to adjust your grind size to suit your tastes or if it's filtering too quickly/slowly
― dayo, Sunday, 2 January 2011 23:57 (thirteen years ago) link
do you find it really tastes different than paper filter? i have a melitta manual drip thing (it's what my parents have always used except for occasionally buying electric coffee makers, which inevitably break) but i always use the french press.
