How do you make Coffee?

[wasabi]

Cafetiere or a basic stovetop expresso pot. Can't stand all these overpriced overcomplicated coffee-making worksurface cluttering farkles - honeypots for HUKD addicts IMO.

And this was a thread revival from 2004 - again the reviving post has been deleted for spamvertising, but I guess it shows the enduring...'strength' of coffee!

Stovetop espresso here, still not tried the monkeypoo coffee I was chatting about when this thread was conceived! I feel quite old reading through this lol

I saw this advertised on Reddit: Pact Coffees

At 6.95 for 250g, it's expensive...so I didn't buy after signing up. But the coffees on offer do look good (I'm a Tea man, and only drink the occasional specialty coffee)

Im actually signed up for it. The coffee and the convenience is very good although im considering looking up alternative's as the price is definitely high.

There are quite a few companies that do a 'coffee club subscription' in the UK, I've not tried one yet but been tempted.

Seems Pact is fairly reasonable in comparison to the competition!

Think I may try out Pact.

Using the code 1QUID you can get 1st bag for £1 so why not

Just ordered 1Kg of Rave coffee signature blend (£16 delivered), decided on 1Kg as I need to setup a grinder and Gaggia Classic espresso machine. Just need to finish putting the Gaggia together, hopefully the parts I need will turn up tomorrow.

OFTEN ? xd

I like the decaf jar types. Or I pop into starbucks for 1.55 for 2 servings ).

At work, it's a reasonable quality instant (currently Douwe Egberts Pure Indulgence Dark Road in a 190g jar), one teaspoon, then filled to the top with boiling water. None of this milk and sugar nonsense.

At home, it's a Cuisinart Grind and Brew bean-to-pot filter machine. Nothing quite like it

[shaithis]

Bean-to-cup machine. Strongest it does, using hasbean beans, cup size set to about 2/3rds (gives just under half a pint of coffee - consumes a lot of beans though!)....then use the wand to froth up the milk in my metal jug with "optimal froth thermometer"....sprinkle of hot chocolate powder on the top....all served in a pint glass and when done right appears to have a large head!

Yummy!

Finally used my Aeropress today, I'm totally converted... what an awesome little device.

Stronger than I'm used too though, think I'm going to feel a bit queezy later on!

Is it an improvement over the typical over-cup dripper?

I signed up to that Pact coffee site and sent the referral link around work, now I have a free grinder on the way, so I'm tempted to get the aero press to complete the experience.

I only recently started using a Areopress and at first I wasn't 100% on it over a drip but then switched to using the inverted method (http://blog.pactcoffee.com/2014/01/0...brewing-guide/) but fill it upto the top with water and leave it 2ish minutes (video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ8wvUKa35E)

Love it, now take my Areopress everywhere!

Yep I feel well ill now, definitely too much caffeine today!

I havent really used the over cup drip enough to compare, but its different enough to my bean to cup drip machine for me to be pleased with the purchase.

Havent tried the inverted method yet, I wanted to try normal before I went for anything different so that I had a decent point of reference... will try it tomorrow.
