Thread: How do you Make your coffee?

You all spend too much time on coffee - go play with some razors!

Try to shave 4x a day

Thank you for that link.

I used to drink more, but I drink it black so it's a little bitter on the stomach when you drink too much. My stomach hurts if I drink too much coffee, so I usually drink 2-3 coffees a day, and a lot of tea.

But I still NEED my coffee in the morning. I'm a cafeine junky.

We just bought a new coffee machine because the other one we had was really big and my dad is only home a couple days a week and we don't need somthing that makes soo much coffee and when I drink it I only drink a cup or 2. So my mom bought a smaller one that is supposed to make 5 cups but it makes like 1 and a half of my dads mug.


-my dad likes bigger mugs, his is like a 20oz I believe.

Coffee is a sort of hobby for me. I could stop any time. Really. I just don't want to. Really I could stop...

I had a Vac Pot on my wish list this year along with an aeropress. I'm sure I'll have both before long.

Roaster: Modified counter top rotisserie drum, 3lb capacity. I only ever roast 1-1.5 pounds at a time. I'm the only one in the house drinking coffee.

>Primary: Simac espresso machine / stepless Kitchenaid Pro line grinder

>Turkish:
Zass mill, 5 different cezve's for different amounts coffee

>French Press

>I have a stovetop Bellman Cappa pot that has a steam wand that's pretty cool. Very nice to have camping.

>Various Moka pots. My favorite is a stainless one.

>I have a cool old copper stovetop drip pot that you invert when the water is boiling. I've only used it once. Drip isn't my favorite.

We have a Krups drip machine that collects dust on top of our fridge until we have house guests. Of course I pull shots, and make cappa's for them, but some people just want drip coffee.

never have been much of a coffee drinker..just once in a while and mostly when it was extremely cold.....after watching the movie "the bucket list" i will NOT be inclined to drink any exotic coffees either...

I don't think you'll have to worry about inadvertently getting a cup of Kopi Luwak. That stuff is $30 a cup.

It does make you wonder if "natural" processing is really better than what they do in a factory.

French Press thingy

Don't know if one of those options were just another name for it. It's the contraption you pour coffee ground into, then hot water, then press down a metal mesh/strainer thing.

For 1 cup I use a French Press
For more the 1 when I am in the mood to drink I use a Perc.

Im at the 4 cup a day avg.
