Everything to do with Coffee

[Menso]

I’d really like an AeroPress like device not made from plastic. I don’t give a shit what the FDA says about “BPA free” plastics. Boiling hot (or close to) water and plastic is a no brainer thing to avoid, just like you don’t (or shouldn’t) be microwaving plastic.

I found this copper AeroPress but apparently it’s “untreated” copper. Does anyone here have experience with copper poisoning?

Just got gifted some Coffee Drup from my SS. Basicaly little mesh bags of coffee that you steep like tea. Steeped per directions and it is the best cup of coffee I've had that didn't come out of an espresso machine. It's expensive but I'm looking at ordering some more for having on weekends etc. My normal go to is some locally blended light roast with good quality cream and cane sugar. I also am a faithful drinker of Jamaican blue mountain coffee as my father's family is from there and I want to support the economy there

I was just gifted a Moka pot yesterday. How do I… do it? I made a little last night per the standard instructions, it was pretty good. Any tips?

It was bad over the summer camping for a few days, which is why I got the aeropress. Very nice to brew a couple of cups in the morning out in the woods.

With the right combination, including water, the canned stuff can be alright. My father used to make Maxwell house in an electric perk pot that was pretty good. The water was hard and unfiltered. I could not duplicate the brew at my house.

Yeah, gotta have a morning dose.

With wearing a mask at work all the way until lunch, I'm unable to drink my usual pot of coffee. I am making a single mug in an Aeropress each morning. Had headaches the first couple days from withdrawals...

My wife and I are both teachers, and you acquire coffee mugs pretty steadily. A few years ago, we purged down to two mugs. It has since grown to the point of mug on mug action in the cabinets. This cup looks fancy, though. Might have to add it to my christmas list.

I tend to use the Blue Mountain when I have time to grind it etc. If I'm just in a hurry and want a quick out the door coffee then a K-cup it is

I am getting to the point in my life where as long as I have fresh beans I could give a shit about anything else. I think I got all the snob out of my system working in coffee for so long.

Same. I read your comment about the sine wave and was like "that's me!"

Started with drip, graduated to a cheap espresso machine, graduated to a really nice Breville espresso machine and was working with that for a while but now I'm back to drip coffee. Cheap drip too, I honestly just like Folgers because I have cheap tastes.

?? I never thought I would see Jamaica blue mountain mentioned together with k-cups.

[Spider!]

Jonnydread, I know the feeling. All of those prized souvenir mugs and you reach for something you bought for practicality.

Love some fresh ground coffee, have some Jamaican Blue Mountain around for the moment (personal favorite) Favorite K-cups are the Van Houte brand ones really liking the vanilla hazelnut and butterscotch ones.

I'm also a big fan of espresso and my preferred way is a Vietnamese coffee (espresso floated over condensed milk then stirred together)

I like the style, now I just need to smash some coffee mugs so we have room

Something else I use everyday. They are hand wash, but the Bodum Bistro Coffee Double Wall Insulated glasses work very well. You can put them in the microwave, and even with boiling water you can pick them up easily (be careful with that). They also double as outstanding frozen margarita glasses, preventing condensation and melting.

The wife uses a set with handles, but I like the tumbler shape.
