Use weekend to try to tweak brewing method up to get the perfect brew method for whatever beans I have at the time. This is a mellow medium roast? Perhaps I’ll try it in the moccamaster with a coffee sock? Little on the carmely side? Let’s dig up the French Press (I only use this with a filter btw). Tastes great in my v60 but I’m brewing for two? Let’s bring out the chemex. Would love to get a siphon someday but that would be a special occasion only kind of thing I think.
I don’t really switch up the brewing method any more, I basically only drink steep and release-style pour overs.
I mix it up by getting new beans shipped to me on a monthly basis. Keeps things fresh enough for me.
Mmm, depression coffee.
Jk. I usually switch to other caffeinated drinks to mix it up, like tea or mate.
i sometimes like to do a filtered french press type setup, mix boiled water and coffee, let steep, then pour through a sieve into a filter over my cup. makes a muddy brew thats kinda dinery and very fullbodied compared to my normal pourover.
I make myself a pot of Arabic coffee on the weekends: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_coffee
It takes about 10-15 minutes during which you have to actually watch the pot to make sure it doesn’t boil over, but it’s worth it.
I think Bodum products are cool, just never used one myself
I feel kind of bad about it too lol
A close friend of mine that I used to work has a brother that designs Bodum products
He was always proud of that, and I would always forget about it and never try their products in support of his work
Whenever I’ve needed a Bodum equivalent product I’ve always just bought the first one I found and it’s never been at a place that has Bodum
My standard is a moka pot. One of those and I’m good all day.
Tomorrow for brunch I’m doing Irish coffees with waffles.
I’m a fan of Kyoto cold brew and am thinking of getting a tower so I can brew it at home in the summer.
But I also just got a lever espresso machine so that’ll probably keep me busy for a while.
What does this achieve that a bottle in the fridge doesn’t other than costing 298$ more?
Before I got my gaggia classic, my routine would be v60 on weekdays before work with an aeropress here and there and moka pot on the weekend. The process of moka pot brewing feels so zen to me
Please tell me how you make good espresso on that machine? I cannot for the life of me make anything good without milk
I switch between my flair classic, mocha pot, French press and plain pour-over

I waffle between a v60 and an aeropress most days, but if I’m feeling it and I’ve got the time, then I’ll use a vacuum pot.
I use a French press every now and then. My kids bought me a fully automatic espresso machine a couple of years ago and that’s my everyday brew. Press 3 buttons and done. I’m getting lazier as I get older.
I used to have a large metal commercial vacuum brewer. It was great for large gatherings.
At the moment I stick to the V60, but after a while I feel the need of smaller quantities so I switch to the moka sometimes
Honestly once I went aeropress I could never go back.
My partner loves the aeropress.
Fair enough! I just like being able to break the routine every now and then to do something new. It’s actually becoming a bit of an issue 😅. I’d love a space on my kitchen wall to display all the different brew methods I have and would like to collect more. Right now I’ve got a gaggia classic pro for espresso, Bialetti for moka, a pour over brewer, cold brew carafe, this vacuum brewer, aeropress, a chemex, and just a regular ol’ drip machine that’s kinda been retired by now. I’d love to find an affordable Europiccola to refurbish!
