Members Trick Fall Posted January 14, 2012 Members Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'll drink any old swill but at home i like to get fresh roasted coffee from either empire coffee and tea or fairway. I use a cuisinart grind and brew which is easy and good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grueller Posted January 14, 2012 Members Share Posted January 14, 2012 I usually take it black if it's good coffee from a real coffee shop. If it's cheap corporate {censored}, or just plain ol' restaurant coffee, I usually will require a teensy bit of cream. Lots of sugar to combat how burnt or bitter it might taste.Also, for those interested: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jenesis Posted January 14, 2012 Members Share Posted January 14, 2012 I like a Starbucks caramel macchiato when I'm in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The_Pin Posted January 14, 2012 Members Share Posted January 14, 2012 If you guys like coffee and are using anything other than a French Press you are missing out big time. No {censored}. Filters suck up all those oils, that's where the real depth of flavor comes from. HIGHLY recommend it. Takes a bit more time to fresh grind and press every morning, and also cleaning the press can be a bitch. Totally worth the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mlabbee Posted January 14, 2012 Members Share Posted January 14, 2012 My favorite coffee maker is the vacuum pot (like the Bodum Santos), but they are kind of a hassle and a pain to clean, so these days I either use a French Press or my Technivarm drip machine (which claims to be the only drip coffee maker that gets the water hot enough to properly brew coffee - it is very good). Locally, Stumptown seems to be the best roaster, though they are starting to lose their indie cred since they sold out to some big venture firm.

Takes a bit more time to fresh grind and press every morning, and also cleaning the press can be a bitch. Totally worth the time. I usually dump out the grinds from my press into the compost bin, then rinse and fill the dirty press with hot water and a few drops of dish detergent. Then work the press a few times, and leave it in the sink for a little while to let the oils release from the filter. Usually rinses clean after that. Don't forget to clean your grinder out every once in a while. Those can get pretty funky, and the taste of your press will suffer. I run a handful of uncooked rice through mine on occasion.

Members TravvyBear Posted January 14, 2012 Members Share Posted January 14, 2012 Made a French Press cup today. I need to get the water to coffee ratio down right. Otherwise, I dig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you don't use soap or anything, the oils build up on the screen and make the coffee taste less than fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted January 14, 2012 Members Share Posted January 14, 2012 This morning I ground up some Kona and brewed it strong in my Bodum French Press, then added some organic half/half. That's the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members big69 Posted January 14, 2012 Members Share Posted January 14, 2012 Well, if you don't use soap or anything, the oils build up on the screen and make the coffee taste less than fresh. This. You don't really need to take the whole filter section apart either. I just fill the carafe with soapy water and plunge it up and down a few times. Good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AidyCM Posted January 14, 2012 Members Share Posted January 14, 2012 Partly due to Adam (NetStar)'s influence, my girlfriend bought us a french press and I've not looked back. I like my coffee strong and black, just like my cellmates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JRBain Posted January 14, 2012 Members Share Posted January 14, 2012 If you guys like coffee and are using anything other than a French Press you are missing out big time. No {censored}. If you like chicken, you should eat it raw. Cooking it completely changes the texture and flavour. Sometimes the 'loss' is good. (I do like French press; I just prefer espresso most of the time. As do my bowels. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cryptosonic Posted January 14, 2012 Members Share Posted January 14, 2012 I dunno, I won't let soap anywhere near my press. I use a stiff brush to clean the screen and filter parts and hot water/paper towel for everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aZnrockstar Posted January 15, 2012 Members Share Posted January 15, 2012 Stainless steel and glass are not known for retaining soapy flavours. Plastic, maybe, but you still want to avoid the oils sitting in there and going rancid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
