If you enjoy coffee pick one of these up. Makes a great cup of coffee in 1 minute. very easy clean up too. I'm looking at you El Presidente! http://www.amazon.com/AeroPress-Cof...1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1272579909&sr=8-1
Had a french press for a long time. advantages of the aeropress are time/cleanup/no residue on the bottom of your cup. the plastic is BPA free btw.
Nice. I was looking at those....kind of vietnamese in style maybe? I was thinking about picking up a Nespresso actually. They've gone down in price a bit lately for some reason. I usually use a french press...but if this is an easier clean up, I'm all for it.
It's awesome man...i've had it for a week now...you might want to pick up a thermometer so you can get a consistent temp on the water($8). From what I've read it doesn't make a true espresso though. So you might want the nespresso if that's why you're going for.
plus too lazy in the AM to do anything that requires being alert. the "press a button thing" rocks. I do have a pod coffee maker but Nespresso is probably better.
Only $20 at amazon right now! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GXZ2GS...iveASIN=B000GXZ2GS&adid=1YHFJH3426807NTXFZFF&
I've got one of these at home, and one at my office. http://www.keurig.com/homecompare.asp?mscsid=TH4010TWVSJK9NK0ESSB31D36VEQEA06 Awesome, clean, quick, and simple.
might pick one up...we'll see. just too busy to do anything lately. going to Italy on Friday so I might see what they are doing there for coffee nowadays!
You won't regret it, man. Took me a little while to figure out the right amount of coffee to water ratio. This is how I brew: • Brew inverted. The coffee will seep through the filter if you put water on top of the beans and stir if it's right side up. careful when you flip it over to press though. • I do a little under two tablespoons of ground coffee(a little finer than drip) • add coffee followed by water(around 175 degrees is best)to the 2 line and stir. Fill the rest of the way up and let it sit for 15 seconds or so. • Pour hot water over the filter inside the cap. soaking the filter is pretty important with paper filters before you press. • Don't press too hard. Gentle pressing is the best way to go. • When you have the coffee in your cup add water to dilute if it's to strong. I usually fill to a little past the 1 line and add to the coffee. Ease of use really makes this a great device. You really can't have an easier cleanup. takes me 10 seconds to clean after use. Just started grinding my beans at home and I really have to say it's the best way to go(if you aren't doing it already)
made some stumptown coffee in ths thing. good stuff. Fucked up the first time since I didn't fill to 2, but all the way.....so made again.
