i always thought tons of sugar in coffee was a crazy american thing but i was in italy this summer and had my mind blown by every single italian dumping mounds of sugar into their espresso at the coffee bars

coffee-drinking has been a very different experience now that i no longer use cream or sugar.

yeah it's way better but also it makes you too picky sometimes, won't drink just any old office coffee, look like a jerk

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.
― positive reflection is the key (harbl), Monday, 3 January 2011 00:02 (thirteen years ago) link
paper is 'more polite' imo
― dayo, Monday, 3 January 2011 00:04 (thirteen years ago) link
what does that mean? weak?
― positive reflection is the key (harbl), Monday, 3 January 2011 00:05 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe i'll try drip for a change tomorrow
the paper absorbs some of the oils & other compounds
― dayo, Monday, 3 January 2011 00:07 (thirteen years ago) link
I dunno maybe that's just parrotting received wisdom. I haven't tried paper drip in a long time but iirc there def was a difference between paper drip and other types of drip (swissgold, sock filter)
― dayo, Monday, 3 January 2011 00:14 (thirteen years ago) link
I used to use this

but it got wearisome to take care of the sock
― dayo, Monday, 3 January 2011 00:15 (thirteen years ago) link
there's also something called a 'columbia press' which is the same idea as the french except it uses a double walled thermos so your water doesn't cool down during the extraction process
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgzE245ELoM
probably makes a better cup than a french but doesn't look as sexy so
― dayo, Monday, 3 January 2011 00:19 (thirteen years ago) link
that's probably true about absorbing the stuff, now i remember that being one of the reasons i like french press better. the oily stuff is still there.
― positive reflection is the key (harbl), Monday, 3 January 2011 00:29 (thirteen years ago) link
sometimes when I leave my cup for too long and come back to it I see like an 'oil slick' floating on top of it, it's all iridescent and stuff
wonder if you would get that with a paper drip
― dayo, Monday, 3 January 2011 00:30 (thirteen years ago) link
I just finished my morning cup btw xD
i've been considering a bialetti

My brother & parents use inexpensive Zabar's versions of the one-cup drip things cos they don't make more than 1 cup at a time, mostly, but it IS a pain for two people wanting more than a cupful.
All taste concerns aside, my bro refuses to buy an electric coffee-maker because it takes up space and will eventually break in some way, whereas now he just chucks the red plastic thing into a drawer. Bravo.
I think the article writer not only hates coffee, he hates life itself.
