        @LandoCal126:

        JLG, thank you for the opinion. I think I will prob order one today. Any particular model you suggest or any is fine?

        This is the model I have (I've got both the 34 and 51 oz.):

        Bodum French Press

        Get which ever one you like the look of - the coffee should taste the same no matter the model.

        For brewing tips check out Stumptown's brewing guide - may get you into trying different methods and acquiring various coffee brewers to do so:

        Stumptown's beans are also super good (try their 'Hair Bender')…

          JLG, Thank you. I actually was just hand delivered a bag of Stumptown beans directly from PDX this weekend. If I have to walk into my kitchen one more day without brewing them, I am going to blow.

              I've become quite the coffee snob (at least by finnish standards where subpar filtered coffee is the norm) during the last year or so, and I think it has to do with the general appreciation of finer things that also connect us regarding denim on this forum.

              I finally got around to buy myself an espresso machine and a decent grinder this wekend after years of deliberation and I spent a loooong time reading up on the art of brewing a nice espresso. Since I wanted to both keep a reasonable budget I got myself a Gaggia Classic and an Ascaso i-mini grinder and can't wait to start honing my skills when the setup arrives and thought I'll start a topic about coffee in general just or the heck of it.

              Thought it would be nice to talk about the subject with you guys as well 🙂

                  What happened to the old coffee thread? I know I am crazy but I am pretty sure there was one a while ago? Great topic either way.

                            Ahh, coffee… Another obsession of mine. Managed to visit London's Espresso Room for the first time in almost two weeks today and enjoyed a fine double espresso. One of the best in the city if you're ever living/visiting here. Also picked up a bag of Musasa Rushashi red bourbon from Square Mile coffee while I was there. Had some before and it's a truly delicious variety with a gorgeous stewed apple taste to it. Can't wait to get the Aeropress on the go tomorrow morning.

                              Here's my new setup, managed to get a decent espresso on the seventh try. Already love it and can't wait to get it dialled..

                                  Made my first caffe latte this morning and made a pretty good job if I may say so myself. Beats drinking the crappy vending machine coffee at work a hundred times over. I guess it's the start of a totally new morning routine for me 🙂

                                    Nice one Jii, I have the same machine (but a rancilio grinder).

                                    There is a really good trick to cleaning the perforations in the portafilter: Grasp the filter in a pair of pliers and burn off the blocked holes over a gas hob.

                                            Broke down and bought a Chemex with a side of Kone. Hopefully it'll cut down on my espresso addiction.
