Members Crxsh Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 I love coffee. The wife and I combined our mutual Christmas gifts into an automatic grind & brew machine this past year. Fresh-ground joe every morning makes me a happy man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My drip brewer is one of those "heat sealing" brewers, so I can have a cup a few hours after I brew it and it's still warm. Unfortunately, it tastes different, but still a pretty nice feature.

Members Dr.Pain-MD Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 Drip coffee is crap. My dad is a huge coffee fanatic and he has a huge amount of coffee related paraphernalia. For "standard" coffee, nothing beats Turkish-style coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tronus Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 Does that heat seal thing make the coffee a little bitter after a few hours? How does the Turkish cooker work? Just put it on a stovetop with grounds and water? I think I'd like the coffee sediment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 It might change the flavor a tad, but it's still quite delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tronus Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 Mmm I want coffee. The tube guy that I know is also a coffee guy. Collects tubes... and coffee. He wont drink the coffee a couple weeks after its roasted so he always hooks me up with his half bags of fancy coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Parah Salin Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 I have a French Press because someone gave it to me for Christmas. I think I used it once because I don't really drink coffee. It's a shame really, I need to give it to someone who'll put it to good use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members devonteran Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 I prefer the french press too. It's also a space saver. Our kitchen is too small for a spot for a drip machine. I also really like stove top Italian style espresso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For "standard" coffee, nothing beats Turkish-style coffee. Drip is not necessarily crap. Coffee brewed in most automatic drip machines is crap, though. Most consumer drip machines have a few flaws, but mainly that they don't brew hot enough (should be around 200F, most aren't even close). For some great drip, try the pourover method. Get a plastic filter holder and some cone filters, put (fresh) ground coffee in, pour boiling water over, stir. I do like me some good French Press as well, though. But nothing beats the king...espresso! The world of coffee snobbery can suck you in just as fast as teh FX can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Trick Fall Posted April 26, 2010 Members Share Posted April 26, 2010 I love the grind and brew simple and elegant and good enough for me. I don't have the thermos carafe but I bought a couple of oggi thermos carafes for parties and can't believe how hot they keep the coffee. Also if there is a roaster in your area try them. In my case it's cheaper than buying star sucks at the supermarket and so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put it on a stovetop with grounds and water? I think I'd like the coffee sediment. The key to Turkish is to grind the coffee extremely finely, basically to a fine powder or dust. Done correctly and it shouldn't actually be all that sedimenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, no, I just happen to have a black cat named Lucky! No relation to the blend (which I've never actually tried). I get all my beans from Counter Culture.
