GGEvo Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 if you have patience to make a few cups at a time ive heard nothing but good reviews about the aeropress, its supposed to make coffee with more flavor and less acidity, and its fairly cheap http://aerobie.com/products/aeropress.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been eyeing one of the ones with no hot plate and a thermal carafe for a while. They are great if you like to have a few cups over a long period and not just guzzle it down so it doesn't get burned on the hot plate. I keep saying I'm going to quit drinking coffee, so I always talk myself out of it. :fa: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Cofee maker is a coffee maker. Expresso makers are super variant but drip coffee makers are all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 French Press /thread. True, but so much effort compared to a drip. You should really grind your own beans too, making it a bit more expensive. http://i.iflip.im/t/first-world-problems.jpg I do use a stainless steel press for camping though. Where I camp there's no electricity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 http://coffeegeek.com/reviews/drip/bunna10/latest This is the one I was talking about. List is higher than you said BUT it will never need replaced. If you want one I can call and see what I can get you one for (most likely much less) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farkas Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 what about the grit? is cleaning the bitch everyone says it is? i guess you need: the press, grinder, kettle, timer, and thermometer? Cleaning might not be as easy as lifting a paper filter out of a basket, but it's no harder than rinsing out a glass. You just have to keep in mind that the grinds obviously can't go down the drain. We wash these by hand at my coffee shop and it takes no time at all. After use, fill with hot water and pour the remaining loose grinds through a strainer, or a paper filter for ease of throwing away and then wash with dish soap and done. If you want to get fancy and use your own grind coarseness to suite your taste, you're able to. However, just about any coffee you buy off shelf will work as well. As long as it's not a super fine grind, it will work just fine. So really, all you need is: Press, Coffee of choice, Drinking cup, Timer(optional). You might need a thermometer the first time you make it to figure out how long it takes to microwave water to ~190 degrees, however, once you do it the first time you should know exactly how long it takes any time after that. As long as you keep the variables constant, there's no guessing game. Toss cup of water in microwave, heat it up to 190 degrees, put coffee in press, pour hot water over coffee, set plunger over top and wait 3-4 minutes or to taste before you plunge, plunge, done. Mind you, you're going to get MUCH better tasting coffee out of a French Press than any drip machine, even if you're not using a special grind. I'll be glad to show you the ropes at work and let you taste the difference if you have a minute to stop in. Nordstrom Ebar on the first floor. Shoot me a PM and I can give you my number if you don't still have it and I'll let you know when I'm there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking into a moka espresso brewer. i will probably do both, since neither are very expensive. Thanks, for the insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have a $50 Braun that we've had since 1984. True story. I used a French press most of the time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
