      Ok so I'm registering for wedding gifts tomorrow (wedding next year) what kind of coffee machine/apparatus should we register for?  The quirk –- Can't be so esoteric as to not be available at a place like William Sonoma or Bloomingdale's.

          It looks like either a bong or Austin Powers' penis pump 😃

          Think it, be it.

            That thing looks diesel…. I imagine that thing makes a mean espresso... any recommendations for regular coffee as well?

              Just bought an aeropress, porlex mini, and a scale.

              Aeropress owners: what ratio do you use? 14:200?

                  I use the first one.

                  17 grams coffee ground 5.75 on the uber grinder, little courser than paper filter.
                  Rinsed normal filter, aeropress in regular position.(I use inverted method, dont know why)
                  50 grams of water at 83c for the bloom.
                  Bloom for 40s. Nicely wet all grounds and lightly agitate holding the aeropress and shaking it abit around.
                  Very slowly add 215 grams of water at 79c for about 30 sec
                  Press very gently for about 30 seconds.
                  Leave about 50 gram slurry in the press and discard.

                      This is pretty close to how I make mine, not overly scientific. It has a huge tolerance for differences yet still tasting amazing.

                          ^Nice article. good quote from it;

                          But pretty quickly we found ourselves climbing the coffee learning curve. Learning to brew great coffee didn't have to take forever. It was a hobby that you could pick up on a Saturday morning and feel good about.

                            Hmmm. Which one?

                            Also, Toby's Estate is serving their cold brew on tap now. Pretty awesome.

                                nice one Urbs. Hope you got some delicious cold drip in :).

                                I adjusted my particle size this morning, making it a bit finer…Kind of choked the extraction. Moved it back 1/2 a notch, let's see how it goes later today 🙂

                                  where are you getting those from Shane? also, what's the price for one?

                                  since i'm moving into my new crib on wednesday (getting the keys and all), and since the place is going to be empty as empty a house can be, i o/course need a nice coffee mashine…

                                  what would you guys recommend? (a good one will do, no need to spend big dollars on it!) 😉

                                    Finn, I'd go either Aero or Hario V60 as my starting place. Simple to get into, simple to clean, great cup.

                                    With unlimited budget I'd still go V60.

                                      Rafa, the simplest and in my opinion the best drip coffee you can make is from a chemex with chemex filters. That's a damn good cup of coffee.

                                        I swear by my Nespresso machine… Lotsa flavours for 'm (in the form of caps) and not too expensive at all... You can buy a neat looking one as well...

                                          Nespresso is what we have in the office…makes quite great coffee and is pretty easy to handle as well!
                                          though the caps can come up quite expensive imo!

                                          seawolf - chemex looks quite nice tbh.

                                          Snowy are you talking about this setup?

                                          …in the end i think the coffe is what makes "the coffee" right?!
                                          so what are your favourite beans?
