Coffee

Cold or hot, V60 is my jam.

My Cafelat Robot is my daily driver and on the weekends I add in a couple of brews from my Chemex. At this point in my 20-year coffee journey those are all I need.

full automatic Seico Espresso machine for coffee/late with a seperate milk frother. (it's digusting if it's in the machine itself)

And a Dripr cold brew with a dripfilter and water reservoir for cold brews

Still have to experience more ways to brew, French press I remember from being little but haven't done it since.

Usually it's a Bialetti moka pot if I want strong coffee. But I alternate with V60/Origami and Aeropress.

Started using the Kamira a year ago. If you know what you are doing (there are many small things to do that could ruin the brew), you will drink the most delicious coffee ever. Not even a professional espresso machine could match it, no joke.

Hario Toggle or Aeropress Inverted

I just got the Orea V3 and I gotta say, it's really turning out some great coffees!

I go through phases, but lately I've been mostly using a Hario Cafeor. It's basically a stainless mesh v60, and it produces incredible coffee once you get used to its idiosyncrasies. Anyone who prefers metal filters over paper should give it a try.

I love my mocha pot/bialetti! I have an ancient double shot bialetti which I picked up from my parents. It works great because I can always make espresso for latte, cappuccino or what ever I feel like! Such a tiny versatile little machine. Great for students!

I rock an electric moka pot, and it's brilliant.

Drip with local coffee, V60 with more western-style coffee.

What's the difference with flat bottoms?

My one-and-done is a full mug from my decade old Ikea moka pot. This is made with hot milk, wazzed up with the cheap little milk frother they sell. The result is a huge quadruple "cappuccino". This wires me up all day.

If I'm not up for that, I'll just make a cup or two from my areopress. Inverse method, steel filter.

I've been mostly doing V60 for the last 6 months or so and the Stagg XF when I'm not. My next purchase is probably a Clever, but I'm not sure. Otherwise, I've got a Phin for making Vietnamese style coffee, an Aeropress I use from time to time, of course the Chemex and press pot when I want 1 liter of coffee at a time, and a cold brewer that I haven't used for probably a year or so.

I don't use my Flair brewer nearly as much as I expected, which is too bad. I like it, it's just a bit of a routine to get it set up, heated, and brew an espresso.

DeLonghi Magnifica. 60,000 shots spread over 2 machines (according to the counter) in the last decade.

I use a supposedly nice drip basket bonavita machine. It works well, and it's still super easy to use.

French press, fridge for 24 hours. Cold brew ftw

I am on my 4th Chemex in 11 years -- I broke 2, my wife broke 1. Maybe they're too fragile, maybe we're too clumsy, probably something in-between. But I adore the clean cup you get out of one, and I've tried all the methods listed here so far.

Pour over, single cup Melitta ceramic cone. I use an Aeropress on travel.

I have a variety of brewers but my current favourite is my gaggia classic espresso machine. I much prefer espresso to any kind of filter brew

200g coffee on a cheese cloth bag, 1600g water, mix and chill for 24 hours. Optionally stir half way through. Serve over ice.

For me it's the ability to get coffee that's strong enough so that most of the cup can be hot milk. I've been chasing that for years.

Cafetiere was always disappointing, never bothered with any of the pourover methods because I couldn't see how they were any good for "milk drinks". I was never aware of aeropress really and when I did hear about it it just looked like another way of making filter strength coffee so steered clear of that.

Then I discovered the Moka pot which I used for years by cramming it with as much coffee as I could get into it which used to get pretty close to espresso strength but obviously not proper espresso.

Eventually we bought a Bambino Plus in lockdown and have been knocking out at least decent 2 lattes per day ever since (usually more if my wife is home)

Still not convinced I can get enough coffee in each shot though... I'm regretting the 53mm basket size!

I've got a Kalita that I use nearly every morning. While I have fun trying new being methods, I do a lot better with consistency with pour over.
