How are you brewing? (self.coffee)

I made a post around a week ago that really took off, and figured we are probably going to see a small spike in activity due to the reddit migration, so I thought we could give it another go!

There are always tons of posts about what beans you are brewing, but my question is HOW are you brewing those beans this week? Sticking to the tried and true v60? Pick up a new Orea and still figuring out the best recipe for it? Pulling some particularly sweet shots on your latest beans haul? Let us know below! What's your brew method of the day/week?

I've really been enjoying my Bialetti brikka pot. It turns out that the trick with that pot is that you shouldn't fill up the water reservoir all the way up to the valve, because then it overheats easily.

How do you know it's overheating? My Bialetti Kitty has no problems with filling it to the valve but once brewing is done, there's always leftover in the reservoir, something I've never had with my cheapo 10$ moka pots.

The brikka is just a very specific pot which has a rubber pressure valve in the stem to somewhat approach espresso-like brewing. I just noticed that when I don't fill it up all the way the coffee tasted better and less burnt.
