What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)

Aero Press? Had to look that one up, looks like you need a checklist to follow the procedure, not exactly what I want to go thru waiting for that first cup a coffee each morning, lol. I still think old fashion perc works best, but I also believe that the most important part of any coffee making is the quality / taste of the water used. The coffee won;t taste any better than the water allows it to, and good tasting water is harder to come by than ever.

It is indeed for pour over. Half of my environmentalism is in the interest of coffee water.

Aero press is something I’ve heard good things about, but I take direction from the many cafes of the third wave of coffee, which limit themselves to espresso and pour over. I actually own two French presses, but haven’t made French press in over a year.

AeroPress makes coffee with very low acidity, which is the main reason I stick with it.

I like a little acid in my coffee, it makes my Schiit sound better. :smirk_cat:

Oh, that may be TMI.

Just made a pour over. The beans are more suited to espresso, but the quality of the pouring is just amazing. If you need a top-flight pour over kettle, end game is just the cost of a Vali!

Interestingly, Toscanini conducts Wagner with great expansiveness. He closes in on a 16 minute Parsifal prelude - Furtwängler is a little under 14 minutes in my recording.



And when he wants to, Furtwängler races right through moments of subtlety with unbelievable speed — his Liebestod with Leider (which I can't find online) is 4:55.

Is it possible to warm on different temperatures? Lower for instance for chocolate poor.
Can you tell us where to buy it? I would love to have one too.

Yes. The power button is also a knob that you can twist to set the temperature. You can switch C/F. You can also opt to hold the temperature in place for 60 minutes.

Alas I only know of a 110V version presently.

Perculator :astonished: Coffee boiled and reboiled :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

AeroPress is my favorite method for home brewing. Faster and easier than drip filter or pour-over. The style of the brew could be described as a filtered espresso. I usually find pour-overs too watery for my taste and prefer the stronger AeroPress style.

Lol if it’s too watery add coffee relative to water. I typically take 15:1, but my dad likes 9:1, so that’s what he gets when I’m in LA.

Making a pizza and having a mango gin. Listening to the Vickers Goodall Parsifal.

Happy Easter.
