I hate coffee

why not

i left work early and brought my shit home so i could have coffee with my work and i am making it and it's going to be a big mistake!

tanzanian peaberry is a good kind of coffee with a funny name

sounds good to me!

starbucks anniversary blend is a good name and kind of a funny coffee.

it's too late for coffee and i haven't actually touched the work. oops.

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.

i dropped my french press on the floor and it didn't break

seems like this guy maybe hates coffee

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.

i have only just heard abt this aeropress thing + am v intrigued

where you been

french pressin' atm <3

i got a swissgold filter

!! : )

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

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.

paper is 'more polite' imo

what does that mean? weak?

maybe i'll try drip for a change tomorrow

the paper absorbs some of the oils & other compounds

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)

I used to use this

but it got wearisome to take care of the sock

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

probably makes a better cup than a french but doesn't look as sexy so

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.

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

I just finished my morning cup btw xD

i've been considering a bialetti

those are intense and have a really high rate of caffeine extraction, mine kind of screwed up my caffeine tolerance

oh those moka pots? they're supposed to be good

theres this thing too http://www.amazon.com/Bodum-Chambord-Aluminum-Stovetop-Espresso/dp/B003NG77RM/ref=sr_1_41?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1294017270&sr=1-41

that's just a moka pot copy innit?

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.

aeropress dudes, I am reading good things about this

http://coava.myshopify.com/products/disk-coffee-filter

price seems a bit steep but hey it's reusable

we were watching The Trip earlier and were like "wow are there restaurants out there that serve up pots of plunger coffee http://www.friendlyskies.net/aoiforum/extensions/pun_karma/icons/thumbs_up.gif

I broke the glass vessel of my press pot. ;_;

aeropress is made of polycarbonate, won't break

I ordered a coava metal filter for my aeropress :o

o yeah i actually tried making my own from my drip machines permanent filter

http://www.beveragefactory.com/images/research_center/goldtone-filter.jpg

but cut the circle too small

why would you do this? not enough counterspace for a stack of paper discs?

if u have to ask

im sort of on tracers side here but i am gonna be interested to hear what dayo has to say when he gets that metal filter.... like can it really make that much of a difference?

also i like how easy it is being able to push the whole thing into the bin

doesn't the metal filter let more oily stuff through

hah well somebody stole my stack of paper filters from the pantry. \O_o/

I like my aeropress but the coffee I get from it is a little too 'clean'

also I like the idea of not being dependent on another consumable when I make my coffee

also I am a nerd

yeah i think that is what i would not like about aeropress, i like a little muddiness

i think we have the same coffee concerns, dayo. we should have a radio show called "coffee concerns"
