I have been meaning to try out the home espresso machine, but half the struggle is just laziness! a french press just seems so much easier, and gives a great flavor!

There's so many to choose from. I think it's almost best to work retroactively and ask 'what am I looking for'. Though I find that's tough with a cup of coffee, since it's an acquired taste and having no sense initially is tough to work from. Though that's all part of my personal journey that I...

If you can convince the right amount of people to utilize this process, it may be worth it. But I wonder if too many of the 'masses' would be too afraid of the 'man-made' coffee. As if what's been done for this long is 'right' but I think I used my quota of 'quotes' in this post.

For instance, I recently found a ground bag of espresso that's been sitting wrapped in a brown paper bag in a cupboard for maybe over 6 months! While most people would throw it out, I think I have a unique experience ahead of me! I get to taste 6 month old ground espresso. Sure, I don't think I...

While I do agree with these tips, I think it's also an interesting experience to try some of the beans that may have been "harmed" by the 'mistakes'. I think it could alter a bean into a whole new direction, maybe even creating an experience you enjoy! That's all I really want to add to the...

Howdy! While I, myself, have been interested in branching out, sometimes the simple stuff, can be the good stuff. I recently was introduced to this! Clever Coffee Dripper w/ Lid - Pour-Over - Brewers The clever coffee dripper combines the elements of a french press and drip machine in a simple...

This is a great discussion, because with all the options we have now-a-days it's almost a quandary to go one place over the other. I think the end result is just being aware of your own experiences you have with any cup of coffee, I just want to provide that in my own addition to the coffee...

Hmm, it seems right on the brink of 'scam'-land, but a bio engineered caffein? Sure, I wouldn't doubt it. It's just the issue of getting it involved in the processes that are done everyday. Why fix what ain't broke, of course 'broke' is a relative term to everyone.

Yeah, It's quite a misconception when dealing with caffein consumers. They always think "bold" means stronger and stronger means more powerful in energy, or something. Perhaps we can all help the world one cup at a time, I'm happy to showcase our first episode and more to come! I hope you all...

I also think you can't forget the grind and bean involved as well!

Hmm, while I feel PeterCoffee might share an opinion with other 'refined' tasters, I think everyone has their own unique perspective to add to it all. I, myself, have been working on some stuff that I want to bring to the coffee community. While I hope no one ever really takes an "authority" to...

Yeah, I feel like decaf coffee never quite has the same flavor intensity as 'regular' brews. Though I do detest the manhandling of the beans, but can understand the impact and importance of doing so, I mean, drinking a hot cup of energy before bed never treats me right. In it's own way, it...

I agree that while a "darker" roast does not yield more caffein, it's negligible at best. I think the utilitarian drinker who is looking for a liquid boost but craves a hot cup of charcoal is probably going to be getting a larger cup anyway. So I would support their taste aesthetics over their...

Hello! I wanted to introduce myself and my small plan for things to come! Coffee has been a part of my life for sometime, and it wasn't until recently that I decided to take matters into my own hands and stop slinging coffee and start serving coffee! My plans include adding what I can to the...
