X3!!!

Any thoughts on the Ratio Coffee Machine? Is it more than just a pretty face?
-
^ So they dressed up a Chemex and automated some of the process (still have to grind the beans). It would save me from not using a kettle and the stove. A little pricey for me. It does look cool though.

V60 @ caffiend cairns

Silodrome has a piece about the Speedster Espresso Machine.
I don't drink coffee, but I still want one.

Aeropress @ caffiend

Pick up myself an aero press what are peoples favourite brew techniques ?
-
Inverted, water around 185 for initial wetting of beans, get everything saturated, let the water drop to 175 while stirring your wet grounds for 15 seconds. Use a gooseneck or a very steady hand and SLOWLY pour clockwise, starting in the middle, moving out wards but not touching the plastic while pouring. Give it another 10second stir. Put filter in lid, attach, flip and plunge slowly.
Start with a scoop and weigh that, reset your scale with the aeropress and beans and experiment with different total brew weights (amount of water) vary weight of grounds and overall brew weight to your taste. If you want to go the extra mile do a "dry run" with just water to heat up the cylinder and paper filter.
Or just toss some coffee in there, add some water, stir and plunge

Just noticed this badass kettle is on sale for $65. If you don't have it, you need it.

That time of year. Toddy cold brew.

That mug is awesome Snowy.
Urb, what's the brew time on that system? It looks so good.
For me it's the bottom of the pot hospital swill….

Hope everything is ok or are you at work?
I let this one sit for 24hrs. I think it says 12hrs in the instructions but that's what I did last time and it was quite weak.

My new used espresso machine for $15 off craigslist. $300 new. Works great just a little dust on it. Tampers, pitcher and everything.
Espresso so much better than my old Krups steam model.

Just a long day at work. I might invest in some cold brewing options. I have tried using chilling aero press coffee and that works ok, but it's obviously not the same or as good.
-
Did you make sure the coffee had gone to room temperature before cooling it? It will get quite bitter otherwise.

This was left to brew on my counter for 24hrs. I used cool filtered water and coarse grinds. So it was at room temperature the whole time.
