Lived on the stuff when I travelled around California for a few months when I was 18. The Silverado Beef one or Dynamite Hot one.

 

Here it's pretty much Hormel or Wolf. I guess I'd say Hormel if I had to pick

 

Wolf brand all the way, no beans of course!

 

Oh, fuck, I ate too much pizza again.

 

Is pour-over decent? Not sure if I should invest in a coffee making lab.

 

If you're looking to follow through on it, look into getting a Chemex, I love mine.

 

My buddy brought his over but it took like 25 minutes to make me a cup of coffee.

I'm definitely interested though because it was some damn good coffee.

 

Yeah I mean it all depends on the water to bean ratio and how finely you grind them. There are some good tutorials that clock brewing to ~4 minutes, It doesn't usually take me longer than like 15 minutes with water boiling time included I'd say.

Either way, I definitely enjoy the whole process of it all, but yeah it can suck if you're in any kind of a hurry.

 

I personally think the Aeropress makes a better, and faster, cup. But some prefer the Chemex, and if you're gonna go that route that's the one to do.

 

There's a bistro around the corner that we order lunch from sometimes. It's really, really good but some of the prices are absurd. BLT and chips were $14. They might bankrupt me.

 

Agreed. I keep mine at work, makes one of the most consistently good Americanos I've had

 

My dad swears by his. I should consider getting one. I just have a really shitty drip coffee maker.

 

I love the consistency as well. Easy to make sure it's great everyday by following the same steps.

 

Yeah I love it. It can make a great cup with great beans. And I get a little obsessive about it, but it's how I've been drinking coffee for years now. Big fan.

 

The other thing I totally recommend with an Aeropress, or just to have a round the kitchen, is a simple basic scale. Measuring beans by weight is much more consistent than by volume.

 

I love coffee and have never heard of an Aeropress until right now.

 

I will check out the Aeropress. Thanks.

 

same here.

 

I swear by it at tis point. Every morning.

 

I haven't drank a carbonated soda beverage or coffee in years

 

I'm a slave to caffeine.

 

I just splash water onto my face to wake me up

 

I wish I could do that. My pulse runs really high and I'm not supposed to have caffeine and I'll stop drinking coke for a little bit and then go right back to it.

 

I try not to drink too much soda but i'm a sucker for coffee. Like i'll only drink MAYBE 3 sodas a week, if that.
