How do YOU make coffee?

Turks have been drinking it way before Cowboys existed

 

Now that I think about it, I bet some of those Turks were cowboys. (still, sweeeeeet!)

 

Go to dungeon and tell them Cowboys are Ottomans and see how far you get with it

 

I’ll use a French press and then brew cold or hot. Cold is my preference. I have to remember to put the grounds in in the evening and leave it until the morning. Then it’s just pour. Sometimes black, sometimes I’ll just add sugar, sometimes condensed milk, and on weekends baileys. I’m not picky about the grounds.

 

Brew the espresso over water. Ends up being more like a traditional cup of coffee but tastes better.

I’ll do an afternoon double shot sometimes depending on the amount of water I’ve had that day or if I plan to ride the bicycle when I get home. I get the caffeine boost but then drink 500ml of water for the hydration. A shot of espresso for a morning coffee isn’t my thing.

 

Since we're so close to the martini thread, Chemex is the coffee maker Bond used. And made in Chicopee, where I was born!

 

yes! i usually just fill the aeropress to about 90% full. "standardly inprecise" if you will... light roasted locally sourced beans (https://www.benttreecoffee.com/), brataza encore grinder (#12 setting), ro water... i keep thinking about roasting my own but i'm not sure i need another obsessive hobby in my life at the moment!

 

In the interest of precision and communication, I measured the mass of coffee in my process: my "large scoops" amount to 8 grams each (I repeated this measurement 3 times in 3 reps, and each time it came out the same) so 24 g. This got me thinking about the economics of this here endeavor.
1 pound coffee is $14/lb bought from the local shop. I buy it with with discount cards bought at Costco that yield a 20% discount, so 14 x .8 = 11.20 for ~454 g. A that rate it runs me roughly 60 cents in coffee per cup. Add in some incidentals like power for the countertop kettle, filters, and depreciation on the contraption (30 dollars amortized across 5 years?) and we are probably up to $0.63. Less than I expected. I usually only have one cup a day, but maybe twice a week have 2. My weekly outlay on coffee thus averages about $5.67. Now that I think about it, it is one of the most economical (i.e., least-costly) pleasures in my life. Viva café.

 

my favorite drug

 

Chew on beans and sip on boiling water.

 

My pal from Syria makes coffee like that. (Well, his wife does.) It's fantastic.

 

just takes awhile... had one of those Tody deals and my wife threw it out thinking it was segregated tupperware

 

Cup of hot water , Tea bag , and a little wild flower honey , gently squeezed from live free range Bees

 

This sounds eerily familiar to one of my college roommates who moved a QP of bud weekly

 

I use a chemex every morning. Have a kettle that has a thermometer on it and heat up the water to 205 degrees. Makes better coffee than any cheaper coffee maker could dream of making and uses less grounds. Only adds a couple of minutes to my morning routine. I'll throw the water on the stove while I am getting ready in the bathroom. By the time I'm done the water is just right. If I do over boil it, I'll run some tap water along the kettle to bring the temp down a few degrees.

i agree with the Peets for the average store bought stuff. i prefer light roasts, which Peets actually has (but not all stores stock it), so i usually go with locally roasted beans.
