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.
Mmm, depression coffee.
Jk. I usually switch to other caffeinated drinks to mix it up, like tea or mate.
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 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
Kalita Wave 🌊
Same! I love my Kalita. Pour over is dead simple. Just wish I could boil water faster.
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!
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.
Before I got my gaggia classic, my routine would be v60 on weekdays before work with an aeropress here and there and moka pot on the weekend. The process of moka pot brewing feels so zen to me
Please tell me how you make good espresso on that machine? I cannot for the life of me make anything good without milk
Prior to getting my gaggia classic e24 this past Christmas, I watched a ton of videos. The how to video for the specific machine from whole latte love and some James Hoffman espresso troubleshooting videos helped me. I originally used beans from a local roaster and now I’m using a bag of gaggia espresso blend I got with my machine. I’m using a Breville smart grinder hovering around grind setting 7-8, 18 grams in the double shot basket. Brew time is usually 25-30 seconds.
My standard is a moka pot. One of those and I’m good all day.
Tomorrow for brunch I’m doing Irish coffees with waffles.
I use a French press every now and then. My kids bought me a fully automatic espresso machine a couple of years ago and that’s my everyday brew. Press 3 buttons and done. I’m getting lazier as I get older.
I used to have a large metal commercial vacuum brewer. It was great for large gatherings.
I’m a fan of Kyoto cold brew and am thinking of getting a tower so I can brew it at home in the summer.
But I also just got a lever espresso machine so that’ll probably keep me busy for a while.
What does this achieve that a bottle in the fridge doesn’t other than costing 298$ more?
There’s a cafe I go to that has a tower and I find Kyoto cold brew tastes better (notes are more prominent) and is noticeably smoother than regular cold brew.
You could argue it’s marginal, but the same could be said for spending thousands on grinders and espresso machines versus a $100 machine and $20 grinder. Everyone’s going to value their workflow differently.
What effect does that machine have on it though? I wonder if it’s that or the beans.
The cafe offers both methods using the same bean of the day so that leads me to believe it’s the process.
I think it’s due to the slightly more active extraction of dripping water but I don’t want to pretend like I fully know so I’ll defer to what I’ve read online.

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.
I use my French press most of the time and a single serve drip when I’m in a hurry.
I’m a french press kind of guy.
