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.

I ordered a coava metal filter for my aeropress :o

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

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

― am0n, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 18:08 (thirteen years ago) link
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?
― just sayin, Wednesday, 23 February 2011 18:25 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― Neu! romancer (dayo), Wednesday, 23 February 2011 23:56 (thirteen years ago) link
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"
― Secrets will not Block Justice (harbl), Thursday, 24 February 2011 00:15 (thirteen years ago) link
totally, we could talk about the price of coffee in china
― Neu! romancer (dayo), Thursday, 24 February 2011 00:18 (thirteen years ago) link
that might only be my coffee concern though. also in my head I hear the sound of a cup filling up as the intro soundbite
― Neu! romancer (dayo), Thursday, 24 February 2011 00:27 (thirteen years ago) link
in my head i imagine people giggling at it because it sounds like someone peeing
― Secrets will not Block Justice (harbl), Thursday, 24 February 2011 00:31 (thirteen years ago) link
coffee does make you pee though, I like the two-pronged approach

i retired my aeropress btw its swissgold from here on
― am0n, Thursday, 24 February 2011 02:24 (thirteen years ago) link
neato!! I was afraid you wouldn't like it. I think both have their uses. find that grind size is croosh to swissgold - right now I'm working through a bag of terrible, coarsely ground coffee that someone gave me, and the coffee is so weak - it's cause the grounds are so coarse that the water just passes through in like 30 seconds

this ethiopian yirgacheffe I picked up yesterday is so dope I'm so happy wahahahaha
― Neu! romancer (dayo), Thursday, 24 February 2011 23:41 (thirteen years ago) link
i do like it, its as good as the aeropress but easier to clean/operate so pretty much im just lazy. what grind do u find works best, i've using medium
― r.i.p. hamilton (am0n), Sunday, 27 February 2011 21:13 (thirteen years ago) link
I use medium-fine, a good way to judge is to time how long it takes for the water to 'clear' - around 3-4 minutes is good I think

i got a new kind of coffee i've never gotten before today. whole foods "island blend." because i get those 24 oz bags for 10.99, i feel they are the best value. still french pressing & using cheap blade grinder.
also i just realized we had that whole paper vs. metal filter talk a month ago. my brain is deteriorating.
― Secrets will not Block Justice (harbl), Monday, 28 February 2011 00:54 (thirteen years ago) link
i got a hand crank burr grinder--i can detect a slight taste difference but im not sure its worth it vs the convenience of the blade grinder
― max, Monday, 28 February 2011 00:55 (thirteen years ago) link
i like the process tho
― max, Monday, 28 February 2011 00:56 (thirteen years ago) link
feel like it would be a terrible waste if dayo and harbl were radio hosts and they only talked about coffee

what kind did you get max
― Neu! romancer (dayo), Monday, 28 February 2011 01:01 (thirteen years ago) link
hario slim
― max, Monday, 28 February 2011 01:02 (thirteen years ago) link
dont get me wrong i like the coffee from the hand grinder more, its just that the blade grinder is so easy
thats the one I have, I like it a lot
― Neu! romancer (dayo), Monday, 28 February 2011 01:03 (thirteen years ago) link
I read that williams and sonoma started carrying hario's line of coffee equipment, no longer makes me feel 'cool' to have one tho, probably will switch to something more exotic yamean

i might buy one of those lil animals that poops out the good coffee
― max, Monday, 28 February 2011 01:14 (thirteen years ago) link
i am also still cheap blade grinding and french pressing, thought i kinda want a drip w/ a stainless carafe so that i can make more coffee and keep it warm. got a giant bag of fair trade organic sumatran at bj's that was such a good deal it makes me worried i'm going to be stuck w/ 3 lbs of really shitty coffee.

my coava disk filter arrived but I discovered that my 4 year old aeropress is giving up the ghost
the rubber plunger is all grodey and won't seal
discovered that the new aeropresses are made out of copolyester and not BPA containing polycarbonate like my old aeropress
guess it's time to get a replacement
― Neu! romancer (dayo), Thursday, 3 March 2011 05:03 (thirteen years ago) link
i am happy with island blend. i usually get the super dark roasts, this one's kinda medium
― Secrets will not Block Justice (harbl), Sunday, 6 March 2011 14:45 (thirteen years ago) link
is there a such thing as an insulated stainless steel french press?i feel like i have gotten my coffee recipe down pat, but i want it to stay hot longer. i need the container to be like one of those decanters for a drip pot, but allow me to do the french press thang. is there another method that would allow me to achieve delicious coffee that stays hot longer?
