Can be great and terrible but yes, good tips there. Start with hot water in the base and pull it before it starts sputtering. Immediately hold the hot base under cold running water to stop brewing.

Coffee processed using the Washed method use a floatation tank to separate in ripe from in ripe cherries (ripe sink to the bottom). They are then pulped to remove outer skin and fruit flesh. Then they are placed in trough of fresh water where any remaining flesh is removed through fermentation...

I’ve had a steel filter since buying my aeropress so haven’t used the paper filters at all. ( gave them to a friend) Steel for the win. Will definitely try that method though next time I’m in that milieu.

Round about Christmas, I started roasting coffee, commercially, like. Bought a 1kg electric drum roaster (a North TJ-067 for those interested). At the moment it's just a side project as I've not given up my day job - but, I've gone through 60KG so far in about 3 mnths. I've created a nice...

Pete guilts me into logging in every now and again.

Sorry, edited due to double post.

Can't speak for anywhere where you may be located but most of the coffee places that roast their own coffee here in nz will often have a cupping evening maybe weekly or monthly where you can do just this. It's usually free to attend and you get to try everything. Perhaps suggesting something...

Is your rubber gasket/seal in place and undamaged? Are you using the same coffee as when you used it successfully? My first instinct is that your coffee if ground too fine and even if you haven't tamped/packed your coffee too firmly, the pressure from the heated water can pack it tighter as it...

hmm.. not sure, what does the text say? Also brand and model?

There's a whole world of nerdery to delve into.

Can't quite see because of the flash. Is that dial on a grinder or a coffee machine?

Indeed.

Shucks Anthony!, kind words. Hey, I will shout you a coffee in person in a couple of months! We coming over for a visit mid-march for a month or so. Fly into Dublin. Might have to reconviene the Villains !

Yes, that was my " aw, shucks," face. Yes, they say coffee harvested from the droppings of the civit cat ( they eat the ripe coffee cherries) makes an awe inspiring cuppa. Certainly , it's sold for quite a lot of $. Never tried it but I imagine it's a bit of hype. I took it as a compliment...

:oops:

No worries. Trust me, I understand the power of convenience ! Incedently , a very cursory glance at Amazon shows some decent Hario grinders at reasonable price.

Nomadic Ethiopians would eat balls of fat rolled with coffee beans while traveling long distances. It's said that trees would grow along the route from the discarded waste. Yum.

Needless to say, if you like what you are doing / drinking now, keep on doing it. It's right for you and that's all that matters.

It Is worth grinding your own, with a few provisos : Good grinder: if the grinder is a blade grinder, don't bother. Most of these scald the beans while pulverizing them. Ideally, you want a burr grinder, preferably with ceramic burrs and if you can't adjust the grind sufficiently , don't...

Here's the deal with coffee. Really quickly Dry Roast green coffee beans in the oven for approx 12 -15 mins. Don't freeze coffee. Store in dark , cool place in airtight container. Stove top espresso machines (Mocha pots) are good but clean and dry them after use. Aluminium is not good for...
