Favorite way to prepare coffee

So I recently acquired a French press and am loving my coffee this way...so much richer than standard drip brew.

What are your favorite ways to prepare your coffee?

I'm a fan of French press and have one at home but frankly I rarely have the time to enjoy it. I'm an after lunch kind of coffee drinker which forces me to take whatever's readily available. That usually means burned bitter pre ground, instant or kcup.

I'd also like to give a shout out to the first brave sumbitch that decided, "hey, let's roast the seeds found inside this berry, grind them up, and then pour hot water on the grounds and let steep." Someone died before we got safe coffee!

I've been using a french press since I started drinking coffee roughly 20 years ago. I'd love a proper machine one day, but I really don't drink enough coffee to justify one. I pretty much have one cup a day now.

1) Fill moka pot with coffee and sugar
2) Heat that baby up
3) Wait for that dark sweet syrup to come out
4) Add milk (lots of it)
5) Add condensed milk for good measure.
6) Re-enact the scene below



That's how we roll

Enema, definitely enema.

Percolator illy coffee bam done delicious two shots

Heh, turns out I've mispronounced enema my entire life!

Seriously, if there's a reason I don't believe in God is because I can't think of an all-loving creature that forgot to automatically add sugar and cream to coffee beans... God's most cruel mistake

(In all seriousness though, the sugar is actually useful: It prevents the grounded coffee from going all the way to the cup... so now I get all flavour and no coffee grounds)

If you're getting grounded up coffee in your cup, you clearly need better coffee technology. Seriously though, get a french press. The normal Bodum brand presses are pretty much the norm, and not expensive (though I have no idea what they go for in Brazil). The result is very good coffee.

You can go and ruin it with all those other things later

Are we really indulging Lira on this? Come on.

I had a lot of other comments cooked up, but I've been drinking and am old. :/

Also drinking, also old. Older than you are. Not by much

Spill the beans, Pie.

I recommend everyone trying the AeroPress, it's cheap as hell and arguably makes even better coffee than the french press. Also, you don't have to fight with the residues at the bottom since everything gets filtered.

One could hardly ask for a more thorough, scientific guide. But damn, that's a lot of work. I'm a lazy SOB.

Arguably indeed. My friend has one of these, and I've still never had a better cup of coffee from that than I have from my french press, and we've tested it on the same coffee brands and so forth. It seems like hipster bullshit, but maybe we just haven't used it right.

Also, if your french press is working properly, there should be no residue in what you're pouring. It's all under the press. That's kind of the point

Why would you want a machine? Drip machines are about the worst way to brew coffee. The only advantage of the drip machine is convenience. I pretty much only use mine for my first morning coffee on weekdays and only because I can set the timer and the coffee is ready to go for me as I rush out the door to get to work in the morning.

I normally use a French press. I have two at home and one at the office. I also use an espresso machine regularly.

My favourate method is pour over.

Oh man wish I could have. I'm surprised I got that post out coherently, lol.



Also wtf @ coffee enema video. The coffee enema isn't even the uncomfortable or strange part, it's that the chick is clearly anorexic. Ughhh.

Yes. It's a pressing question. A French pressing question, for it's pressed by Mr. French.

It's time for me to grab my coat. Cheerio!

Yeah, that's what I meant by a machine, not a drip machine.

Look at what Alpha Starred uses that ibogagagaga really fucked him up worse than we even assumed.
