I use my French press most of the time and a single serve drip when I’m in a hurry.
Clever dripper at the office during the week because it is super simple and the least time consume way to get a filtered cup of coffee.
V60 brewer or Kono brewer (with V60 filters) on the weekend with better coffee beans. Recently I have been favoring the Kono since it has less bypass.
I’m a french press kind of guy.
I found one of those at a thrift store! I had no idea the top came with a stand. It’s become my daily brewer! It makes a great cup!
I have an aeropress for making a smaller amount t of coffee. I have a metal filter that has a special valve that’s supposed to make something espresso adjacent. It sort of works.
I alternate between French Press and Aeropress.
With the Aeropress, I alternate between metal filters, and paper filters because both taste slightly different.
If I run out of beans or ground, then instant it is!
I put the aeropress away after the cap jumped a thread and a shot near boiling water all over myself. 2nd degree burns are a bad way to start the morning.
Mmm, depression coffee.
Jk. I usually switch to other caffeinated drinks to mix it up, like tea or mate.
I make myself a pot of Arabic coffee on the weekends: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_coffee
It takes about 10-15 minutes during which you have to actually watch the pot to make sure it doesn’t boil over, but it’s worth it.
I think Bodum products are cool, just never used one myself
I feel kind of bad about it too lol
A close friend of mine that I used to work has a brother that designs Bodum products
He was always proud of that, and I would always forget about it and never try their products in support of his work
Whenever I’ve needed a Bodum equivalent product I’ve always just bought the first one I found and it’s never been at a place that has Bodum
I waffle between a v60 and an aeropress most days, but if I’m feeling it and I’ve got the time, then I’ll use a vacuum pot.
I don’t really switch up the brewing method any more, I basically only drink steep and release-style pour overs.
I mix it up by getting new beans shipped to me on a monthly basis. Keeps things fresh enough for me.
Kalita Wave 🌊
Same! I love my Kalita. Pour over is dead simple. Just wish I could boil water faster.
I’ve been using an aeropress at home. It makes a nice smooth cup of coffee with little cleanup afterwards.
This is great! I use my Hario syphon at least a few times a week…love how quick and easy it is. Other days I normally do v60, Orea v3, or espresso with the Cafelat Robot.
Honestly once I went aeropress I could never go back.
My partner loves the aeropress.
Fair enough! I just like being able to break the routine every now and then to do something new. It’s actually becoming a bit of an issue 😅. I’d love a space on my kitchen wall to display all the different brew methods I have and would like to collect more. Right now I’ve got a gaggia classic pro for espresso, Bialetti for moka, a pour over brewer, cold brew carafe, this vacuum brewer, aeropress, a chemex, and just a regular ol’ drip machine that’s kinda been retired by now. I’d love to find an affordable Europiccola to refurbish!
When I’m feeling fancy, I usually aeropress. In summer, I often go cold-brew instead, so I also have a setup for that.
