OK, got your attention, but there really is such a thing as a cuban sock for making coffee, and it was some of the best I ever had.
The cuban sock is actually made like a strainer with a handle, but instead of the wire strainer there is a cotton "sock" shaped like a cone. Water is boiled in a glass carafe and the heat source turned off. The ground coffee is measured into the sock, and the sock is lowered into the water. The whole device is held in place by the rim of the strainer-type handle. The coffee is ready in just a few minutes.
I've only seen and used one of these cuban socks, and it was 20 years ago. I've not seen one like it since, although I'd like to try one again.
Is anyone familiar with this type brewing device, or do I have to make one myself?
Thanks for reading!
