Ran out of beans, didn't have enough for my morning cup, so I just made it weak. Frown.

Student?

broker now than when I was one anyway. But did run out and buy some beans. Big pink bag from the super-store.

I ran out of beans as well since I just returned from Christmas Holidays but love this Syra coffee roaster I found in Spain.

I put in an order yesterday and received the beans today (which were actually roasted yesterday!)

40€/kg

You kids like the aeropress?

[mr2mike]

A ton of geologists in my office love it.
I think it reminds them when they used to find Darcy's of permeability.

[ExtraSlow]

They do look nice and easy for an office device since they are easy to clean.

I’ve got an aero press, makes great great coffee, super simple to use and clean. Only issue is if you’re making multiple people coffee (it’s all I used till my wife got addicted, now we have a drip machine… still make aeropress for a treat or while camping )

That or they are all just hipsters.

Geologists are the best to work with.

Yep. Aeropress is my go-to (over moka, V60, etc.)

Biggest problem is large quantities.

The reason it's so good is you can easily control all of the important variables of coffee as long as you have a grinder.... nail the grind size, temp, and time and you'll make great coffee.

Kinda true though of virtually any french press coffee... Small batch equals more control for sure.

It does appear that you could make 2 "Americano style" if you use more beans and water.

I'd call it "immersion-style" but yes, it's very similar to French Press except that I don't think a French Press does as good of a job filtering out the grinds and the water remains on the beans even after you push a FP (though if you pour it right away it's less of an issue).

For me, the benefit of a Aeropress is that it's easier to stir and clean than a FP and you have more control over immersion time.

My office set up consists of a Hario hand mill and an aero press, it's the closest I can get to an americano without an actual espresso machine. I'm never making anybody else coffees though so it works, if anybody else wants one they are free to use it but dont get me to make it for you.

Got the Elida Estate in our Monogram subscription and finally tried it this morning. I get a near explosion of tropical fruit flavour with zero astringency. I've never had coffee taste this good at home!

French50 had their weekly pop-up in High Line Breweing. Man these guys make exceptional baked goods. Warranted another coffee when we got home

[ercchry]

Damn, my monogram subscription just showed up today and no such luck

[ExtraSlow]

Restocking.

[killramos]

Coffee nerds! This any good?

Ran out this morning.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Ummm... Not really?
I've tried to like it many times because it goes on sale for SO cheap.
You won't spit it out, though. It's better than "fine" it's just not a flavourful treat.
Says me...
